+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure
+Added: Controls and Procedures
+Added: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
+Added: 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable
+Added: assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
+Added: summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that
+Added: such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer to allow timely
+Added: decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: carried out an evaluation, under

+Added: of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
+Added: Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
+Added: Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded
+Added: that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 due to the material weakness in internal control over
+Added: financial reporting as described in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 28, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K/A”).
+Added: As described in the 2025 Form 10-K/A, the material weakness that was identified
+Added: related to deficiencies in our Control Environment and Information and Communication, including a historical failure to set an appropriate
+Added: tone at the top and the historical process for identifying, escalating and communicating regulatory, clinical and other non-financial
+Added: information to our principal financial officer, the Audit Committee and the Board.
+Added: During the affected period, regulatory, clinical and
+Added: non-financial information was concentrated with our former CEO, and we did not maintain sufficiently formal and precise controls to provide
+Added: reasonable assurance that such information would be identified, accumulated and communicated completely and timely to all appropriate
+Added: financial reporting and disclosure-process participants.
+Added: See Item 9A of the 2025 Form 10-K/A for additional information, including regarding
+Added: our remediation plans.

+Added: on May 6, 2026, on April 30, 2026, the Special Committee terminated the employment of our former CEO for Cause (as defined in the Employment
+Added: Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2013, between us and our former CEO, as amended and restated (the
+Added: “Former CEO Employment Agreement” ), effective immediately for, among other things, conduct that the Special Committee
+Added: believed was inconsistent with Company policy.
+Added: That action removed the individual with whom the relevant regulatory, clinical and other
+Added: non-financial information had been concentrated.
+Added: During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, building on the leadership change initiated
+Added: by the Special Committee, we began implementing certain of the remediations and enhancements described in the 2025 Form 10-K/A filed with
+Added: the SEC on August 28, 2026 to our disclosure and information-communication processes.
+Added: Specifically, these remediation and enhancements
+Added: · We established a formal Disclosure Committee with defined responsibilities for reviewing significant information
+Added: relevant to our SEC disclosures;
+Added: · We implemented additional procedures to reconcile significant regulatory, clinical and non-financial source
+Added: documents to matters contained in our SEC disclosures;
+Added: Except for the measures described above, there were
+Added: no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably
+Added: likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
