(the “Company”) after discussion with management concluded that the interim financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (the “Form 10-Qs”) should no longer be relied upon for the reasons summarized below.

In connection with preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified several accounting misstatements and as such is restating the interim financial statements in the Form 10-Qs to correct (i) an inventory conversion error during the quarter ended September 30, 2022; (ii) a failure to recognize (a) professional fee invoices during each of the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, (b) advisory shares during the quarter ended June 30, 2022; and (c) interest expense on the Senior Secured Promissory Note Payable issued by the Company to NH Expansion Credit Fund Holdings LP during the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022; and (iii) improper recording of a financing lease arrangement during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

The Company and its advisors completed the annual review, and the Company will file the restated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022.
