U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63,678,599, entitled “Multi-Application Transdermal Screen Device”.

In due time, we intend to convert our US Provisional Patent application filings to Non-Provisional Patent application filings in the US and abroad as part of our patent defense strategy.

We applied for trademarks related to the SOBRsafe system, SOBRcheck and SOBRsure devices, and “SOBR” as standard characters with no specific formatting.

Government Regulation

As we utilize a unique “Pass/Fail” methodology that simply alerts to the presence of alcohol (as opposed to measuring a discrete BrAC) - information that may be used at the discretion of the administrator (or employer, counselor, parent, etc.) - we do not believe we will be subject to any government regulation in the targeted alcohol monitoring and detection markets including Behavioral Health and Wellness, Judicial Administration, Alcohol Rehabilitation, Personal Accountability Application, Commercial Workplace, or Adolescent Driver markets. In the Judicial Administrative market, regulations vary significantly by state. Some states only allow for the use of certain methodologies like breath or urine, while others do not specify and there exists no regulated barrier to entry for a transdermal solution in the low offender markets. However, the collection and use of biometric data may entail compliance with state-by-state notice and use regulations.

Human Capital Resources and Employees

As of December 31, 2024, there are a total of 14 full time employees, including Company officers Chairman/Chief Executive Officer/Secretary, David Gandini, and Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, Christopher Whitaker. The employee base primarily operates from our corporate offices located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Employees who operate remotely from our corporate offices primarily consist of territorial sales and business development representatives. The remainder of our workforce consists of professional consultants in supporting roles due to the size and nature of our business.

Oversight and Management

Our executive officers are tasked with leading our organization in managing employment-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, compensation planning, and talent management and development. We are committed to providing team members with the training and resources necessary to continually strengthen their skills. Our executive team is responsible for periodically reviewing development and training programs, diversity efforts, business ethics and compliance training, team member benefit programs and initiatives, including healthcare and other benefits, as well as our management development and succession planning practices. Management periodically reports to the Board and the Compensation Committee regarding our human capital measures and results that guide how we attract, compensate, retain and
