Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Alternative Options: If the initial period expires without compliance, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing requirements and notifies Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance or cure the deficiency may result in delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to appeal.
- Operational Impact: Management states that the receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company's business, operations, or SEC reporting requirements.
