Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Listing Status
- Non-Compliance Notice: On April 13, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company of non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) due to the common stock bid price closing below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
- Extension Granted: On October 12, 2023, Nasdaq granted an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance, extending the deadline to April 8, 2024.
- Compliance Requirement: To regain compliance, the bid price must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Reverse Stock Split: Management intends to monitor the stock price and may implement a reverse stock split, subject to board and stockholder approval, to meet the bid price requirement.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance by April 8, 2024, could result in delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, potentially reducing liquidity and market price.
- Debt Default Trigger: Delisting would trigger a default under the Company's 2022 Promissory Note, making the outstanding balance immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.
- Liquidity Concerns: A reverse stock split may adversely affect liquidity by reducing the number of outstanding shares and increasing the number of odd-lot holders.
