 and documents incorporated by reference herein, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. If any of the matters discussed in the following risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

<div align='center'>RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING</div>

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including the shares offered under this prospectus, could lower our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could decrease. We had 5,814,041 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 23, 2025. Under this registration statement, we are registering the resale of 3,091,668 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholder, all of which are issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants. Assuming all such warrants are exercised, the shares offered hereunder represent approximately 35% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we may sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent offerings.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of common stock, including the shares offered under this registration statement, other registration statements, shares underlying outstanding warrants issued in our public offering of Units on October 30, 2023, shares available for resale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the perception that such sales could occur, may have on the market price of our common stock or our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. With any additional issuance of common stock, investors will suffer dilution and we may experience dilution in our earnings per share, if any.
