Material Changes
- Loan Amendment: On February 14, 2020, the company amended its loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The maturity date was extended from February 14, 2020, to February 14, 2022. The interest rate was set to a floating rate of the greater of 1% above the prime rate or 5.5%, payable monthly.
- Warrant Exercise: On February 19 and 20, 2020, holders exercised warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares at $1.25 per share. This generated gross proceeds of $1,875,000.
- Equity Impact: The warrant exercise increased total stockholders' equity from $2,822,991 to $4,697,991 on a pro-forma basis, bringing the company closer to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirement of $4,000,000 in stockholders' equity.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to pursue a listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the filing explicitly states that acceptance is subject to approval and that the company can provide no assurance that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will approve the application. The pro-forma equity figures are provided specifically to demonstrate compliance with the market value of listed securities standard.
Risks include the uncertainty of Nasdaq listing approval and the ongoing obligation to meet all applicable listing criteria. The loan amendment introduces additional reporting obligations and requirements regarding the formation of subsidiaries.

- Review the company's ability to maintain the $4,000,000 stockholders' equity threshold in future reporting periods.
