Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are referenced herein. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly state our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim period.

Certain reclassifications to prior year presentation have been made to our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We have displayed individual line items that we previously considered to be immaterial and combined individual line items that we considered to be immaterial to conform to current year presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Nasdaq listing

On April 13, 2023, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”) because the bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice from Nasdaq stated that, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. On October 10, 2023, we submitted a request to Nasdaq for an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. On October 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising that the Company had been granted a 180-day extension to April 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

Then, on December 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, as of December 20, 2023, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and that, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), the Nasdaq had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice provided the Company an opportunity to appeal the Nasdaq’s decision to delist the Company’s common stock. On December 22, 2023, we submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Nasdaq’s delisting determination.

On February 26, 2024, we effected a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of one-for-fifty in order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and on March 12, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that we demonstrated compliance with the requirements to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by the Panel. The letter also informed the Company that pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory Panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter. On April 9, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that the Company is no longer subject to a Panel monitor.

On November 7, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, as a result of the resignation of Stephen Chen from the Company's audit committee effective October 22, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq's audit committee compositions requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), the Company must have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must be an independent director as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 100A-3(c) under the Exchange Act). With Mr. Chen's resignation, the Company's audit committee was at the time comprised of only two members, Elliot Han and Rahul Mewawalla, each of whom met the independence requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10-A3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. On February 28, 2025, the board of directors of the Company appointed Ms. Quyen Du to the board of directors and audit committee. The board of directors determined that Ms. Du meets the independence requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10-A3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. After giving effect to Ms. Du's appointment, the audit committee of the board of directors is comprised of three independent members as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). On March 6, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that this matter was now closed.

On January 10, 2025, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the rules for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5810(c)(2)(G) because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months of year-end for the fiscal year ended as of December 31, 2023. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company had 45 days to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance, and if accepted, Nasdaq could grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance. On February 14, 2025, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq outlining its plan to become compliant with the above continued listing rule and has begun preparations to hold the 2024 annual stockholders meeting in May 2025. On May 6, 2025, we held our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. On May 13, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq acknowledging compliance had been regained and notifying the Company that this matter was now closed.

There can be no assurance the Company will maintain compliance with the rules above or any other Nasdaq Listing Rules.
