Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company announced the pricing of the offerings via a press release on June 23, 2020. The proceeds are intended to support the Company's operations, though specific allocation details are not provided in this text.
Transaction Terms and Risks:
- Agent Compensation: The Company will pay agents a commission of 3.0% for investor-identified sales or 6.0% for agent-identified sales, plus reimbursement of legal fees up to approximately $60,000.

As of the filing date, the Company has sold $5,436,791 in securities in the preceding 12 months. Future sales are capped to ensure they do not exceed one-third of the public float while the float remains below $75 million.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and actual gross proceeds received (expected ~$5 million).
- Confirm the final number of shares issued and the updated total share count post-closing.
- Review the full text of the Agency Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific indemnification and covenant details.
- Monitor the remaining capacity under the "at the market" offering program ($2,563,209) for potential future dilution.
- Check subsequent filings for the use of proceeds and any changes to the Company's liquidity position.
