Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On June 20, 2025, the Company’s management, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements that are described below, and it should be noted that these misstatements relate only to non-cash accounts on the previously issued unaudited financial statements, and that the Company will restate such financial statements to make necessary corrections.

Subsequent to filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company determined that, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, (1) certain assumptions used to calculate fair value for certain convertible notes held by third parties that are being accounted for at fair value were not appropriate at the date the convertible notes were issued and (2) the fair value of these convertible notes were not adjusted to fair value upon conversion, resulting in an understatement of the following non-cash accounts - additional paid-in capital and non-operating expenses, which were determined to be material. As a result of these material misstatements, the Company will restate previously issued financial statements for the period referenced above, in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections in an amendment to the previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company determined that these errors were the result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was previously reported in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” on Form 10-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2025.

The Audit Committee discussed the basis for the restatement and matters described in this report with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
