In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential&#8221; or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to timely file its periodic reports, the ability of the Company to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, the impact on the Company&#8217;s business and the risks identified in the Company&#8217;s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual developments and results may differ materially from those express or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this filing are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential&#8221; or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to timely file its periodic reports, the ability of the Company to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, the impact on the Company&#8217;s business and the risks identified in the Company&#8217;s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual developments and results may differ materially from those express or implied by the forward-looking statements.
