(f): Mr. Oliver is citizen of the United States. The Fund is a Delaware limited liability company. The Manager is a Delaware limited liability company.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On November 7, 2023, the Fund purchased 1,500,000 units (the "Units") from the Issuer in a private offering for a purchase price of $270,000 ($0.18 per Unit) (the "Purchase Price"). Each Unit was comprised of one share of the Issuer's common stock and one-half common stock purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant may be exercised to buy an additional share of the Issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $0.26 for a term of two years. The Fund used its own investment funds to pay the Purchase Price.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Fund purchased the Units as described in Item 3 for investment purposes. All securities of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by the reporting persons are held for investment purposes.


Mr. Oliver intends to continue to seek to influence the policies of the Issuer with a goal of maximizing the value of the Issuer's common stock.

As of the date hereof, and except as otherwise disclosed herein, Mr. Oliver, the Fund and the Manager do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d) Any change in the management of the Issuer or any change in the present board of directors of the Issuer other than in connection with the normal nominating process of the full board of directors for the Issuer's annual meeting of stockholders;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;

(g) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

The reporting persons may purchase, sell or transfer common stock beneficially owned by them from time to time in private or public transactions depending on economic considerations. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of the common stock by applicable law.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) - (b) As of the date of this report, Mr. Oliver beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a total of 6,596,753 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which constitutes 14.3% of the class of common stock as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Fund beneficially owns a total of 6,013,683 shares of common stock, which constitutes 13.2% of the class as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3. As the manager of the Fund, the Manager is deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares beneficially owned by the Fund. As the manager of the Manager, Mr. Oliver is likewise deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares beneficially owned by the Fund and the Manager.


Rule 13d-3 provides, in part, that shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days. In computing the percentage ownership of any person under Rule 13d-3, the number of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of the person does not necessarily reflect a person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares actually outstanding.

All shares of common stock listed in the table below are currently beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Oliver. The Fund and the Manager share beneficial ownership of the 4,192,849 shares of common stock held by the Fund and the 1,820,834 shares of common stock underlying warrants held by the Fund. As of November 7, 2023, a total of 43,609,231 shares of the Issuer's common stock were outstanding.
