Current report
Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until October 10, 2024), to submit a Compliance Plan. We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time, although there can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. If the Compliance Plan is accepted by Nasdaq, we will be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from August 26, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Rule. In the event the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the Compliance Plan is accepted but we fail to evidence compliance within the extension period, we will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
Current report
We intend to monitor our stockholders’ equity and, if appropriate, consider further available options to evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement.
Current report
On October 22, 2024, we received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from Nasdaq, informing us that we have regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid of our shares of common stock needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. The Notification Letter confirmed that we achieved a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater per common share for ten (10) consecutive business days from October 8, 2024 to October 21, 2024, thereby regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Current report
If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our Common Stock will be subject to delisting. If that were to occur, our Common Stock would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our Common Stock and would adversely affect the value of our Common Stock. Delisting from Nasdaq would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our Common Stock on other markets or exchanges, or on an over-the-counter market. In such case, our stockholders’ ability to trade or obtain quotations of the market value of our Common Stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our Common Stock, if delisted from the Nasdaq, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service or the over-the-counter markets. Delisting from the Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity, adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Stock, decrease securities analysts’ coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In addition, our stock could become a “penny stock,” which would make trading of our Common Stock more difficult.
Current report
The delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future, or at all. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. Further, if our Common Stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our Common Stock would cease to be recognized as a covered security, and we would be subject to additional regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, there is no assurance that the actions that we have taken to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement will stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from falling below the Nasdaq minimum bid price required for continued listing again or prevent future non-compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
Current report
On October 15th, 2024, we issued 35,335 shares of our Common Stock to a marketing firm for services provided. The marketing firm was a sophisticated investor, received shares that had a restricted legend and had adequate access, though their relationship with the Company, to information about the Company. We believe that such transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Previous report
Our shares of common stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholder’s equity requirement or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list our common stock or warrants.
Previous report
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies.
Previous report
If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 22, 2024, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
Previous report
We intend to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain its Nasdaq listing. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 2, 2024, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the board of directors to abandon such amendment.
Previous report
There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet Nasdaq continued listing requirements. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement or stockholder’s equity requirement prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.
Previous report
The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, our common stock is a covered security. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from the Nasdaq, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
Reworded paragraphs (4)
Previous wording
We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $5,036,463 as compared to a net loss of $787,920 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of our McLean Property. We also expect to incur additional software development expenses related to the development of the Xene Platform and the MyVONIA Asset We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. Also, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, or at all, if, and when needed. In addition, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to collect amounts owed to us from SG Holdings and have taken a reserve against the $1,720,844 owed to us by SG Holdings, which is included in additional paid-in capital. Our inability to achieve profitability from our current operating plans or to raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are not able to secure additional funding, if, and when needed, we would be forced to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to operate. A significant portion of our funding was historically provided by SG Holdings. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to meet our obligations and are forced to curtail or cease our business operations, our stockholders could suffer a complete loss of any investment made in our securities.

Previous wording
On April 16, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,887,777 as of December 31, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until May 31, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time. On July 22, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended March 31, 2024, and our submission to the Staff, dated May 29, 2024, it determined that we were in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter further stated that if we fail to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing our next periodic report we may be subject to delisting. At that time, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to us, upon which we may then appeal the staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Our stockholder’s equity of $2,018,163 as reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 and therefore we may be subject to a delisting notice which we plan to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel; however there can be no assurance that the appeal with be successful.
