Material Changes
The primary material changes reported are:
- Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement: On July 12, 2016, the Company amended its July 7, 2016 agreement with CVI and Sabby funds. This amendment removes restrictions on the Company's ability to issue or sell securities under the LPC Agreement 75 days after July 7, 2016.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management commentary is limited to the execution of the amendments. The filing highlights the Company's active management of its capital structure through the LPC Agreement, which allows for flexible equity raises up to $50 million. No specific forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or unusual items are detailed in this specific report beyond the standard implications of equity dilution and registration timing.
