Material Changes

As of June 1, 2025, the company regained compliance after maintaining a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater for 14 consecutive business days (May 12 to May 30, 2025).
- Stockholders' Equity Compliance: The company previously failed to meet the $2.5 million minimum equity requirement based on 2024 year-end data. Compliance was restored based on the Q1 2025 Form 10-Q, which showed equity of approximately $6.98 million.
