        <fundsSource>The information set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D filed on October 12, 2021, is incorporated herein by reference, noting that in 2019, the issuer effected a one-for-thirty reverse stock split, and in 2024, a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share amounts and exercise prices reported herein reflect both splits. In addition, the following transactions have occurred:

(a) On May 28, 2025, the Reporting Person returned 1,021 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the issuer for cancellation and retirement, with no consideration received or paid, to prevent shareholder dilution. This eliminates the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of the 113,444 underlying shares of Common Stock previously reported.

(b) On June 2, 2025, pursuant to a unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors, the Reporting Person acquired 4,685,029 shares of Common Stock from the issuer's treasury in satisfaction of outstanding liabilities, debt financing, accrued interest, and bonuses in lieu of cash, at a fair market value of $1.31 per share (based on the average closing price over the prior 60 trading days). No cash consideration was paid by the Reporting Person for these shares.

(c) On June 30, 2025, the Reporting Person made bona fide gifts of an aggregate of 878,074 shares of Common Stock. No consideration was received by the Reporting Person in connection with these transactions.</fundsSource>

        <percentageOfClassSecurities>The Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,681,768 shares of Common Stock. This includes (i) 4,378,014 shares of Common Stock held directly (after accounting for the acquisition of 4,685,029 shares on June 2, 2025, and the subsequent gift of 878,074 shares on June 30, 2025), (ii) 227,003 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Series A Warrants at $90.00 per share (expiring August 11, 2025), (iii) 56,751 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Series B Warrants at $45.00 per share (expiring August 11, 2025), and (iv) 20,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of vested options (exercisable within 60 days). This excludes the 113,444 shares previously underlying 1,021 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which were returned for cancellation on May 28, 2025. This amount constitutes approximately 51.5% of the Common Stock of the Company, based upon 8,780,749 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025, as reported by the issuer to the Reporting Person (as adjusted to reflect the June 2, 2025, issuance from treasury of 4,685,029 shares to the Reporting Person and 730,059 shares to another individual), plus shares of Common Stock receivable by the Reporting Person upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and vested options (per Rule 13d-3(d)(1)).
