−Removed: In response, we have begun the process of evaluating our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: We have also taken several remedial actions set forth above to address these material weaknesses.
−Removed: it is possible that, had our independent registered public accounting firm conducted an audit of our internal control over financial

−Removed: We are a public company in the United States

−Removed: We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation.
−Removed: documenting and testing our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other weaknesses
−Removed: and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude
−Removed: on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404.
−Removed: If we fail to achieve

−Removed: could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our

+Added: June 6, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq hearings panel that granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the

+Added: (1) on or before July 1, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1) dealing with primary equity securities
+Added: listed on the Global Market, and on or before July 1, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) dealing
+Added: with a minimum bid of $1.00 per share.
+Added: On June 14, 2023, we received a clarification letter from Nasdaq granting the Company’s
+Added: request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following:
+Added: or before July 10, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2);
+Added: and (2) on or before July 14, 2023, the Company
+Added: demonstrates compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b).
+Added: July 14, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price and equity
+Added: concerns, as required by the Nasdaq hearings panel decision dated June 6, 2023, as amended.
+Added: The Company is subject to a panel monitor
+Added: for a period of one year from the July 14, 2023, letter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), which includes continued compliance
+Added: with the stockholders’ equity requirement and other continued listing requirements.
+Added: Failure to meet the stockholders’ equity
+Added: requirement of $2,500,000 would result in immediate delisting, subject to the Company’s right to appeal.
+Added: As of June 30, 2023, the
+Added: Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $723,000.
+Added: Subsequent to June 30, 2023, on July 10, 2023, the Company completed a public
+Added: offering of common stock or pre-funded warrants and warrants to purchase common stock raising gross proceeds of approximately $11 million.
+Added: After giving effect to the July 10, 2023, public offering, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023, on a pro
+Added: forma basis, was $4.355 million.
+Added: As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit and will need to raise capital
+Added: in order to meet Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity requirement.
+Added: October 27, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that it has determined that the bid price of our Common Stock had closed at less
+Added: than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
+Added: Nasdaq also noted that we effected a 1:35 reverse stock split on March 24, 2023, and a 1:40 reverse stock split on June 28, 2023.
+Added: we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we
+Added: will not be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv).
+Added: that regard, unless we requested an appeal from such determination, trading of our Common Stock would have been suspended at the opening
+Added: of business on November 7, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the SEC which would have removed our Common Stock from
+Added: listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
+Added: We filed a notice of appeal and received a hearing date of February 1, 2024.
+Added: such appeal, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
+Added: On November 16, 2023, we received an additional
+Added: notification indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
+Added: period ended September 30, 2023, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3) which serves
+Added: as an additional basis for delisting.
+Added: The Company intends to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency at the Panel
+Added: Hearing on February 1, 2024.
+Added: November 2023, we received correspondence from Nasdaq Regulatory Compliance seeking more information surrounding our determination that
+Added: our April and July 2023 offerings were deemed “Public Offerings” within the meaning of Listing Rule IM5635-3 to avoid shareholder
+Added: approval for such offerings.
+Added: We provided our response to Nasdaq Regulatory Compliance’s questions.
+Added: In November 2023, we received
+Added: additional correspondence from Nasdaq Regulatory Compliance seeking information in connection with the issuance of warrants in September
+Added: 2023 pursuant to inducement letters sent to holders of public warrants issued in the April and July 2023 public offerings.
+Added: that our April and July 2023 offerings were public offerings within the meaning of Listing Rule IM 5635-3, and that the issuance of the
+Added: warrants in September 2023 was structured in manner that such issuance did not require shareholder approval.
+Added: In this regard, we sought
+Added: advice from consultants in structuring these issuances to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules.
+Added: No assurance can be given that Nasdaq Regulatory
+Added: Compliance will agree with our analysis and determine that the April and July 2023 public offerings and issuance of the September 2023
+Added: warrants required shareholder approval.
+Added: If Nasdaq Listing Qualifications determines that we should have sought shareholder approval for
+Added: the April and July 2023 public offerings and September 2023 warrant issuance, we may be subject to delisting.
+Added: February 1, 2024 we attended a hearing with Nasdaq to present our case for extending the time we have to achieve minimum listing status.
+Added: We are awaiting the outcome of that hearing.
+Added: addition, if we fail to meet the Nasdaq listing requirements and do not regain compliance, we will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.
+Added: In the event our common stock is no longer listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Market and we are unable to transfer to The Nasdaq
+Added: Capital Market, our trading volume and share price may decrease and you may have a difficult time selling your shares of common stock.
+Added: In addition, we may experience difficulties in raising capital which could materially adversely affect our operations and financial results.
+Added: Further, delisting from Nasdaq markets could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders,
+Added: suppliers and employees.
+Added: Finally, delisting could make it harder for you and the Company to sell the securities and hard for us to raise
