They donot include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In* November 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2023,and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024,*with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, “Income Taxes (Topic740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2025,*with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently believes there areno other issued andnot yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ASSESSMENT

Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at leastone year from the date the financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period,” as defined by GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management considered various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and made certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, management made certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

As of* September 30, 2024*, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,535,266, net working capital of $9,963,511, an accumulated deficit of $83,262,701, and total assets and liabilities of $28,725,344 and $17,303,859, respectively.

13

The Company has incurred significant recent losses, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period ofone year from the issuance of these financial statements. Continued market uncertainty and reduced order intake caused by weakening global macroeconomic conditions or recession could unfavorably impact the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow and thereby significantly reduce its profitability and liquidity position. There isno assurance that the Company will be successful in executing the planned revenue growth, cost reductions, strategy, and profitability improvement measures, thus achieving profitable operations.

We continue to analyze various alternatives, including potentially obtaining debt or equity financings or other arrangements. As further disclosed in Note10 below, on* September 27, 2024,the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of up to $10 million intwo* tranches. In connection with the closing of thefirst tranche on* September 27, 2024,the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 million. The Company obtained stockholder approval at our stockholders' meeting on November 8, 2024on the issuance of the securities in thesecond* tranche. On* November 12, 2024,thesecond* tranche closed, and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $8.8 million. Our future success depends on our ability to accelerate growth, restore profitability, and raise capital as needed.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements donot include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that* mayresult should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As we issue additional securities to raise funds, these securities mayhave rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our current shareholders mayexperience dilution. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may*be required to curtail our current development programs, reduce operating costs, forego future development and other opportunities, or even terminate our operations.

NOTE11 –LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the periods where there is a net loss, stock options, warrants and RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Consequently, the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same for the reported periods.

As of* September 30, 2024*, the Company had 405,553 RSUs,4,485,310 prefunded warrants, and 1,675,875 warrants, all exercisable for shares of Common Stock.
