In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given until October 27, 2025, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).

On June 1, 2025, we received written notification from Nasdaq notifying us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as a result of the closing bid price of our common stock being at $1.00 per share or greater for the last 14 consecutive business days, from May 12, 2025 to May 30, 2025. Accordingly, we are now in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and Nasdaq considers the matter closed.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 reported stockholders' equity of $1,149,064. Therefore, as of April 7, 2025, we did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, and we no longer complied with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

On June 2, 2025, we received written notification from Nasdaq notifying us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) based on our Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2025, evidencing stockholders' equity of $6,979,365.
