This delay principally relates to the fact that the Company was delayed in obtaining and compiling information required to be included in its Form 10-Q, which delay could not be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

Explanation: As previously reported, on December 27, 2023, Registrant discontinued the operations of A.L.I. Technologies Inc., a Japanese corporation (“A.L.I.”) which is Registrant’s wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, and as part of Registrant’s operations, moved to Los Angeles, California, and continued the development of a line of FAA-compliant manned and unmanned crafts for low-altitude flight. Following the discontinuation, on December 27, 2023, A.L.I. filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition with the Tokyo District Court, Civil Division 20, “Tokutei Kanzai Kakari” [Special Trusteeship Section], Case ID: No. 8234 of 2023 (Fu). A bankruptcy trustee was appointed on January 10, 2024, and proceedings have commenced. ALI’s discontinued operations include the manned air mobility business, including the further development of the XTURISMO limited edition hoverbike, the air mobility platform COSMOS (Centralized Operating System for Managing Open Sky), the computing power-sharing business, drone photography business and drone and artificial intelligence research and development business. As a result of these events, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of the changes in its results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal.
