SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In March 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to the Investors in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) in one or more closings up to an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Notes”). In March and April 2025, we sold and issued pursuant to an SPA convertible promissory note (the “Notes”) to purchase an aggregate of 308,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $385,000. The Notes mature and are due on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date in March of 2030. The Notes bear simple interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in equal monthly installments. The Notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $1.25 per share, which shall not exceed $1.55 per share. In addition, we can require Investors to convert the Notes at the then current conversion price at any time after 90 days from the issue date if the Common Stock has a closing bid price of $1.55 per share or higher on any twenty (20) days within a thirty (30) day period of consecutive trading days, or if a “fundamental change” occurs (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Notes are unsecured and senior to other indebtedness subject to certain exceptions. On March 28, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) was below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 24, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. There is no guarantee that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, and failure to do so may subject us to delisting proceedings of NASDAQ.
