received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market (&ldquo;NASDAQ&rdquo;) notifying the Company that the Company is delinquent with
respect to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and therefore not in compliance
with the requirements for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company has 60 calendar days to submit
a plan to NASDAQ to regain compliance and if such plan is accepted, the Company can be granted an exception until August 14, 2019
to regain compliance. If NASDAQ does not accept the Company&rsquo;s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that
decision to a hearings panel. The Company&rsquo;s management is pursuing options to address the deficiency. The Company plans to
file Form 20-F as soon as possible or submit a compliance plan on or before the deadline set by NASAQ.</P>
