For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such period indicated approximately $699 thousand in revenues and a net loss of approximately $4.1 million. Due to the insolvency filings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in November 2023, the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2024 will not include the operating activity for these entities, which was included in the 2023 filing for the same period. In addition, the Company shifted its focus at the end of 2023 and into 2024 toward pursuing a strategic transaction, so domestic operations, and as a result, revenues and expenditures, declined. In March 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March 2024 Purchase Agreement”) with an investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,000,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock to the investor at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 million. The investor paid $550,000 in exchange for 550,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock in March and April 2024. In July 2024, the investor consummated a transaction pursuant to which he sold his 550,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock together with his rights to purchase the additional 2,450,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock under the March 2024 Purchase Agreement to AEI Capital Ltd. Subsequently, AEI Capital Ltd. paid the Company $2.45 million in August 2024 in exchange for the remaining 2,450,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock under the terms of the March 2024 Purchase Agreement. The $2.45 million funding in August 2024 allowed the Company to settle its outstanding indebtedness with its creditors, and upon settlement of such indebtedness, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $9.7 million, which represents the excess of the fair value of the outstanding principal, accumulated and deferred interest, and the PPI over the settlement amount. Given these factors, the Company’s preliminary statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 shows no revenues and net income of approximately $8.9 million. These preliminary figures for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are subject to change and will be reviewed by the Company’s independent auditor, but these are our estimated figures at this time.
