Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Listing Status
- Regained Equity/Market Value Compliance: On April 2, 2024, the Company received notification from NASDAQ that it had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires a market value of listed securities of at least $35,000,000. This resolves a deficiency previously identified on November 21, 2023.
- Minimum Bid Price Deficiency: The Company remains non-compliant with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The stock closed below this threshold for 30 consecutive business days ending October 3, 2023.
- Extended Compliance Period: On April 3, 2024, NASDAQ granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The new deadline is September 30, 2024.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to monitor the bid price of its common stock and is considering available options to cure the deficiency, including effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. The filing includes standard forward-looking statements disclaiming any assurance that the Company will meet the bid price requirement or avoid delisting. If the Company fails to regain compliance by September 30, 2024, its securities will be subject to delisting, though the Company retains the right to appeal such a determination.
