Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not provide specific financial data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on the Company's stock price performance relative to listing standards.
Material Changes

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Period: The Company has been granted an initial 180-day compliance period ending August 24, 2026, to regain compliance.
- Regaining Compliance: To receive written confirmation of compliance, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Second Compliance Period: If the Company fails to regain compliance by August 24, 2026, it may be eligible for a second 180-day period if it meets other listing standards, including market value of publicly held shares.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance by the end of the applicable compliance period will result in the delisting of the Company's common stock.
- Management Action: The Company intends to monitor the stock price and may consider a reverse stock split to regain compliance, though there is no assurance of success.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of PDSB stock to assess proximity to the $1.00 threshold.
- Monitor the Company's announcements regarding the potential execution of a reverse stock split.
- Review the Company's market value of publicly held shares to determine eligibility for a second compliance period if needed.
- Track the stock price performance daily to ensure the 10 consecutive business day requirement is met before the August 24, 2026 deadline.
