Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party
to any pending or threatened legal proceedings other than the arbitration proceeding described below.
On April 12, 2024, Noble Capital Markets, Inc. filed a Demand for Arbitration
against us in JAMS, claiming that we breached the anti-dilution provision in the parties’ advisory agreement by not issuing to Noble
an additional 474,134 shares of our common stock and that we owe $243,000 in damages for breach of the tail provision in the parties’
placement agent agreement. Noble’s claim of breach of the placement agent agreement was dismissed because the arbitration provision
in the parties’ advisory agreement did not apply to disputes related to the placement agent agreement. On July 2, 2024, the arbitrator
denied Noble’s request for emergency relief on its claim for breach of the parties’ advisory agreement. Although we deny that
Noble is entitled to any shares of our common stock or any monetary damages, to avoid the time and expense of further arbitration, we
are actively engaged in settlement negotiations with Noble to resolve all disputes between us.

statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.
