On September 15, 2025, Allen C. Harper notified our board of directors of his resignation from our board of directors and all committees thereof, effective immediately (the “Resignation”). On September 17, 2025, we received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying us that, as a result of the Resignation, we are not in compliance with the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 (the “Corporate Governance Requirements”), specifically:

Current report

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b), which requires, among other things, that a majority of our board of directors be comprised of Independent Directors (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)); and

Current report

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c), which requires, among other things, that we have an audit committee that has at least three members, each of whom must (i) be an Independent Director, (ii) meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) not have participated in the preparation of our financial statements or any of our current subsidiaries at any time during the past three years, and (iv) be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements.

Current report

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Requirements, we are entitled to a cure period to regain compliance, which cure period will expire at the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or September 15, 2026. We intend to appoint an additional independent director to our board of directors and its audit committee prior to the end of the cure period.

Current report

There can be no assurances that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards or if we do later regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards, will be able to continue to comply with the applicable listing standards. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, our common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. If Nasdaq delists our common stock, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

Our Inability to Meet a Financial Covenant Contained in our Credit Agreements May Adversely Affect our Liquidity, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Current report

Pursuant to a credit agreement (as amended, the “2024 Credit Agreement”), with RMC Credit Facility LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Lender”), dated September 30, 2024, we have a $6.0 million promissory note, made by the Company to the Lender, for general corporate and working capital purposes (the “2024 Note”). On August 28, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Lender made an additional loan to us in the amount of $600,000. In addition, on August 28, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement” and together with the 2024 Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1.2 million from RMCF2 Credit, LLC, a special purpose investment entity affiliated with Jeffery R. Geygan, our interim chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors. Each Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets, except retail store assets. Interest on borrowings is set at 12.0% and the loans mature on September 30, 2027. Additionally, each Credit Agreement is subject to various financial ratios and leverage covenants. The Company is not required to comply under Credit Agreements with the covenants related to the ratio of total liabilities to total net worth for the fiscal quarters ending August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2025.

Current report

If we are not in compliance with the requirements under the Credit Agreements, under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the lenders have the option, but not the obligation, to immediately demand repayment of the full of the obligations under the applicable Credit Agreement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have enough cash on hand to satisfy our obligations under either Credit Agreement if the lender thereunder exercised its option to demand repayment. If any lender exercises its option and demands repayment at some time in the future, however, we may not have sufficient funds available to make the payments required. If we are unable to repay amounts owed, the lenders may be entitled to foreclose on and sell substantially all of our assets, which secure our borrowings under the Credit Agreements, which would have an adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

In addition, each lender retains the right to act on covenant violations that occur after the date of delivery of any waiver. In the future, if either lender were to decline to grant us a waiver and instead demand repayment, we may need to seek alternative financing to pay these obligations as we may not have sufficient facilities or sufficient cash on hand at that time to satisfy these obligations.
