Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

In conducting its business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.

Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notification

As Previously Disclosed in the Company’s periodic report filed with the SEC on April 16, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that based upon the Company’s closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days (February 26, 2025 through April 9, 2025), the Company no longer meets the listed securities requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share pursuant to Nasdaq Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5810(c)(3)(A).

On October 8, 2025, the Company received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company now has until April 6, 2026 to meet the requirement.

Under the Nasdaq Rules, if at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s securities is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter would be closed. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance during the initial 180 day period, the Company may still be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these additional requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible, Nasdaq would then provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting.

The Company is monitoring its Common Stock trading price. If compliance with the minimum bid price requirement is not regained within the extended 180-day period, the Company will implement a reverse stock split within the range previously approved by its shareholders.
