As described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed on November 10, 2022, the Company is making this filing on a delayed basis to allow time to restate its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. This restatement is being made to correct a mistake related to deferred compensation expense (consisting of earned and unused paid time off) that resulted in the understatement of administrative expenses by approximately $222,000 during the first quarter of 2022. This correction had no impact on the Company’s cash position or product sales.
