| Item 4. | Ownership | |

(i) Immediately following the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Issuer on June 18, 2025 (the "SPA") (as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2025), each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 82,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA, and all such shares of Common Stock represent beneficial ownership of approximately 9.8% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 759,156 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 18, 2025, as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 82,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA. The foregoing excludes (I) 410,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA ("Intracoastal Warrant 1") because Intracoastal Warrant 1 is not exercisable until the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 (and Intracoastal Warrant 1 also contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder's affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock) and (II) 15,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by Intracoastal ("Intracoastal Warrant 2") because Intracoastal Warrant 2 is not exercisable until the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2 (and Intracoastal Warrant 2 also contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 2 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder's affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock). Without such blocker provisions (and assuming Intracoastal Warrant 1 and Intracoastal Warrant 2 were currently exercisable), each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 507,500 shares of Common Stock.
(ii) As of the close of business on June 25, 2025, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of no shares of Common Stock, and all such shares of Common Stock represent beneficial ownership of approximately 0.00% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 759,156 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 18, 2025, as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 2,105,000 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA. The foregoing excludes (I) 410,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 because Intracoastal Warrant 1 is not exercisable until the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 (and Intracoastal Warrant 1 also contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder's affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock) and (II) 15,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2 because Intracoastal Warrant 2 is not exercisable until the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2 (and Intracoastal Warrant 2 also contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 2 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder's affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock).
