Previous report

Our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which delisting could hinder your ability to obtain accurate quotations on the price of our common stock or dispose of our common stock in the secondary market.

Previous report

On November 20, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notifying us that we were not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), because our stockholders’ equity of $1,966,969, as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and because, as of the date of the notice, we did not meet either of the alternative compliance standards, relating to market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. Under Nasdaq rules and as specified in the notice, we had until Monday, January 6, 2025 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and we submitted our plan on January 6, 2025, citing the Company’s then proposed merger with Renovaro, and requested a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. As a result of the termination of negotiations with Renovaro, we were unable to complete the previously submitted plan.

Previous report

On June 9, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that because the Company had not regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. On June 11, 2025, we submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. On June 12, 2025, we were notified that the Panel agreed to consider our appeal at an oral hearing, which the Panel scheduled for July 17, 2025.

Previous report

On July 8, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff informing us that because the closing bid price for our common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we did not comply with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock.

Previous report

On July 17, 2025, we attended an oral hearing with the Panel, where we presented plans for coming into compliance with the continued listing standards, which included, but were not limited to, continued sales of common stock pursuant to our at-the-market offering, sales of common stock pursuant to the SEPA, expanding availability of our live cell ChemoFx drug response assay and business collaborations, as well as a potential reverse stock split. We also requested an exception from the continued listing standards through December 8, 2025, to provide us the ability to evidence compliance with the standards.

Previous report

On July 23, 2025, we were notified by Nasdaq that the Panel had granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to an extension through December 8, 2025, to demonstrate compliance with all continued listing requirements, including the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Previous report

On September 29, 2025, we completed the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective for trading purposes on September 30, 2025. As a result, our stock price increased significantly, and we regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as confirmed by the Staff via a letter dated October 14, 2025.

Previous report

For additional information regarding the actions we have taken to satisfy the terms of the Panel’s decisions related to the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, refer to the heading above titled “Recent Developments – September 2025 Private Placements” containing details regarding the private placements that closed in October 2025.

Previous report

There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the Nasdaq requirements for continued listing in the future. In the event our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are also unable to maintain listing on another alternate exchange, trading in our common stock could thereafter be conducted through one or more over-the-counter markets. In such event, the liquidity of our common stock would likely be impaired, not only in the number of shares which could be bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of the transactions, and there would likely be a reduction in our coverage by security analysts and the news media, thereby resulting in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise prevail.

Previous report

After the expiration of the letter of intent with Renovaro and our decision not to engage in further discussions with Renovaro regarding a potential merger, Renovaro has filed a lawsuit against us, which could be costly and time-consuming.

Previous report

As previously disclosed, the letter of intent with Renovaro regarding a proposed merger transaction expired by its terms on March 31, 2025, and on April 3, 2025, our Board of Directors notified Renovaro of our decision to discontinue discussions regarding the proposed merger. On May 8, 2025, Renovaro filed a lawsuit alleging a breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. We do not believe Renovaro’s claims have merit and intend to continue to vigorously contest the lawsuit. The results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the merits, litigation can be costly and time-consuming for the Company. The diversion of management’s attention, the costs of defense and the possibility of an adverse decision could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report

We used the net proceeds from the September SPAs principally to purchase digital assets, including Aethir tokens, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile. Our operating results and share price may significantly fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of the price of such digital assets and erratic market movements.

Previous report

We used the net proceeds from the September SPAs principally to purchase or otherwise acquire Aethir tokens, the native utility asset of ATH and for the establishment of our digital asset treasury operations. Digital assets, such as ATH, generally are highly volatile assets, including as a result of shifts in market sentiment, speculative trading, macroeconomic trends, technology-related disruptions and regulatory announcements. In addition, digital assets do not pay interest, dividends, distributions or other returns, unless utilized in staking or financial applications, and so the ability to generate a return on investment from the net proceeds of any capital raisings will principally depend on (i) whether there is appreciation in the value of digital assets following our purchases of digital assets with the net proceeds from such capital raisings, and (ii) any rewards from staking or otherwise utilizing such digital assets. Future fluctuations in digital asset trading prices may result in our converting digital assets into cash with a value substantially below what we paid for such digital assets, and staking reward yields may result in returns that are substantially lower than anticipated.

Previous report

We adopted a digital asset treasury strategy with a focus on ATH, and we may be unable to successfully implement this new strategy.

Previous report

We adopted a digital asset treasury primarily dedicated to ATH, including potential acquisitions, including through staking and other decentralized finance and compute activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement this new strategy or operate Aethir-related activities at the scale or profitability currently anticipated. This strategic shift requires specialized employee skillsets and operational, technical and compliance infrastructure to support ATH and related staking activities. This also requires that we implement different security protocols, and treasury management practices. Further, there is ongoing scrutiny and limited formal guidance from regulatory agencies, including Nasdaq and the SEC, with respect to the treatment of public company cryptocurrency strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to execute this strategy by building out the needed infrastructure within the timeframe that we currently anticipate. Errors by key management could result in significant loss of funds and reduced returns. The success of our digital asset treasury strategy will depend in part upon the efforts, processes, technology and intellectual property of third parties outside of our control, including, without limitation, the developers of Aethir and any asset managers or custodians retained in connection with the strategy. As a result, our shift towards ATH could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Previous report

Our shift towards an Aethir-focused strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks.

Previous report

Our shift towards an ATH treasury-focused strategy, including staking, liquid staking, enterprise compute sales and other decentralized finance activities, exposes us to significant operational risks. The Aethir network evolves rapidly, and frequent upgrades and protocol changes may require significant adjustments to our operational setup in order to participate in ATH’s staking mechanisms and ensure adequate checker nodes to support network integrity. The upgrades and protocol changes may require that we incur unanticipated costs and could cause temporary service disruptions to the Aethir network. We also need to engage additional third-party service providers in our operations, which may introduce risks outside of our control, including significant cybersecurity risks. Additionally, if we stake our digital assets, those assets may be subject to lock-up or illiquidity periods during which they cannot be transferred or sold. This may materially reduce our immediate access to liquidity and could adversely affect our ability to meet operational requirements or respond to adverse market conditions. Any of these operational risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our Treasury Strategy and may prevent us from realizing positive returns and could severely hurt our financial condition.

Previous report

The concentration of our ATH holdings enhances the risks inherent in our Aethir-focused strategy.

Previous report

We have purchased and intend to purchase ATH and increase our overall holdings of ATH in the future. The intended concentration of our ATH holdings limits the risk mitigation that we could achieve if we were to purchase a more diversified portfolio of treasury assets, and the absence of diversification enhances the risks inherent in our Aethir-focused strategy. The price of ATH experienced a significant decline in the first half of 2025, and any similar future significant declines in the price of ATH could have a more pronounced impact on our financial condition than if we used our cash to purchase a more diverse portfolio of assets.

Previous report

If the Aethir network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties or otherwise does not perform as expected, fails or experiences any other adverse consequences, the value of ATH could be negatively impacted.

Previous report

If the Aethir network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated difficulties, then the processing of transactions on the Aethir network may be disrupted, which in turn may prevent us from depositing or withdrawing ATH from our accounts with our custodian or otherwise affecting ATH transactions. Such disruptions could include, for example: the insolvency, business failure, interruption, default, failure to perform, security breach, or other problems of participants, custodians, or others; the closing of ATH trading platforms due to fraud, failures, security breaches or otherwise; or network outages or congestion, power outages, or other problems or disruptions affecting the Aethir network. The implementation of material network upgrades could result in unintentional degradation of performance. Any disruption of the Aethir network could materially impact the operation of the Aethir network, resulting in our inability to transfer or sell ATH, and could adversely impact the price of ATH.

Previous report

In addition, as the market for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) hosting services grows, we anticipate that competition among providers of GPU hosting will intensify, potentially affecting the Aethir network. Similarly, if the market for GPU hosting services does not grow as anticipated, the Aethir network could be adversely affected. Any diminution in the value of the Aither network GPU-as-a-Service business could adversely impact the price of ATH and result in our inability to transfer or sell ATH.

Previous report

ATH and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial position, operations and prospects.

Previous report

ATH and other digital assets, as well as applications on networks such as Aethir, are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets and blockchain-based applications is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of ATH or other digital assets, or the ability of blockchain-based applications to operate.

Previous report

The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries or regulatory jurisdictions may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of ATH or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer ATH and utilize blockchain-based applications on networks such as Aethir. For example, the U.S. executive branch, the SEC, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, among others, have been active in recent years, and in the United Kingdom, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023, or FSMA 2023, became law. It is not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to the U.S. Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative or regulatory bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and ATH specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price or liquidity of ATH and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of ATH in particular, may also impact the price of ATH and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of the Aethir network and ATH may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to ATH, institutional demand for ATH as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions and compute power providers in the digital assets industry, consumer and business demand for ATH as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to ATH. Even if growth in ATH adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that ATH and Aethir network usage will continue to grow over the long term.

Previous report

Because ATH tokens have no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the Aethir network, a variety of technical factors related to the Aethir network could also impact the price of ATH. For example, malicious attacks against the network, hard “forks” of the ATH network into separate networks, difficulties with upgrades to the ATH network, and advances in computing technology could undercut the integrity of the ATH network and negatively affect the price of ATH. The liquidity of ATH may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of Aethir may occur if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold ATH, provide Aethir-related services or accept ATH as payment, which could also decrease the price of ATH. Additionally, any failure to properly monitor and upgrade the Aethir network could adversely affect the Aethir network and negatively affect the price of ATH.

Previous report

The liquidity of ATH may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for ATH and other digital assets.

Previous report

In connection with our Treasury Strategy, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the Aethir network, which may expose us to risks and technical vulnerabilities.

Previous report

In connection with our Treasury Strategy, including staking, liquid staking, and other decentralized finance and decentralized compute activities, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on the Aethir network in order to optimize our strategy and generate income. Smart contracts are self-executing code that operate without human intervention once deployed. Although smart contracts are integral to the functionality of staking deposit contracts, liquid staking protocols, and decentralized finance applications, they are subject to many known risks such as technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploitation attacks. Any vulnerability in a smart contract we interact with could result in the loss or theft of ATH or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business. In addition, certain smart contracts are upgradable or subject to certain governance controls which could result in unforeseen code errors, asset or account freezing, or the loss of digital assets. A vulnerability in a smart contract could create an unintended and unforeseeable consequence that has adverse financial consequences, such as the loss of or inability to access funds. There is no assurance that the smart contracts we integrate with or rely upon will function as intended or remain secure. Exploitation of such vulnerabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Previous report

Part of our future business strategy may include acquisitions and investments in companies with Aethir-focused or blockchain strategies, and there are risks associated with the integration of any assets or operations acquired and our ability to manage those risks. In addition, we may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses, assets or properties, and any inability to do so may disrupt our business and hinder our ability to grow.

Previous report

We intend to pursue a strategy focused on both ATH accumulation and future acquisitions. Accordingly, in the future we may make acquisitions of businesses or assets that we expect to complement or expand our current assets. However, we may not be able to identify attractive acquisition opportunities in the future. Even if we do identify attractive acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to complete the acquisition or do so on commercially acceptable terms. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify additional suitable acquisition opportunities, negotiate acceptable terms, obtain financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms or successfully acquire identified targets.

Previous report

The success of any acquisition will depend on our ability to integrate effectively the acquired business or asset into our existing operations. The process of integrating acquired businesses and assets may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of our managerial and financial resources. The integration of acquisitions is a complex, costly and time-consuming process, and our management may face significant challenges in such process. Some of the factors affecting integration will be outside of our control, and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenue.

Previous report

Our failure to achieve consolidation savings, to incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations successfully or to minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Additional ability to achieve the objectives of our business strategy depends in significant part on our ability to obtain equity and debt financing. If we are unable to obtain equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully execute on our business strategy.

Previous report

The regulatory regime for digital assets in the U.S. and elsewhere is uncertain. The Company may be unable to effectively react to proposed legislation and regulation of digital assets, which could adversely affect its business.

Previous report

Multiple states have implemented or proposed regulatory frameworks for digital asset businesses, and digital asset regulation continues to be a focus of foreign regulatory bodies, notably in the European Union. Compliance with such jurisdiction-specific regulations may increase costs or impact our business operations. Further, if we or our service providers are unable to comply with evolving federal, state or foreign regulations, we may be forced to dissolve or liquidate certain operations, which could materially impact our investors.

Previous report

If any of the digital assets that we hold are classified as a security, we may be subject to extensive regulation, which could result in significant costs or force us to cease operations.

Previous report

Regulatory changes or interpretations that classify digital assets that we hold as a security under the Securities Act, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), could require us to register and comply with additional regulations. Compliance with these requirements could impose extraordinary, non-recurring expenses on our business. If the costs and regulatory burdens become too great, we may be forced to modify or cease certain operations, which could be detrimental to our investors.

Previous report

The SEC has previously indicated that certain digital assets may be considered securities depending on their structure and use. Future developments could change the legal status of digital assets that we may hold, requiring us to comply with securities laws. If we fail to do so, we may be forced to discontinue some or all of our business activities, negatively impacting investments in our securities.
