continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company reported stockholders&#146; equity of U.S $2.5&nbsp;million (CAD $3.4 million) as of its fiscal year ended March&nbsp;28, 2020, and has reported
losses from continuing operations in each of its last four most recent fiscal years including the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;28, 2020, while nevertheless reporting net income in two of its last four fiscal years. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section&nbsp;1009 of the Company Guide, the Company submitted its plan of compliance on

2020, NYSE American notified the Company that it accepted the compliance plan and granted the Company an extension for its continued listing until February&nbsp;6, 2022 (the &#147;Plan Period&#148;). The Company will be subject to periodic review by
NYSE American during the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Plan Period, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the Plan Period, NYSE American may initiate delisting procedures
as appropriate. </P>
