The Company&rsquo;s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 reported stockholders&rsquo; equity of $(3,396,000)

Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to NASDAQ to regain compliance and if such plan is accepted, the Company can be
granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Notice Date to evidence 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 noncompliance and intends to submit a compliance plan on or before the deadline set by NASDAQ.</P>
