These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Core Optics, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Core Optics”), Core Optics Co., Ltd., a Republic of Korea corporation (“Operating Subsidiary”) and Core SS LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Member”), which Member holds all outstanding membership interests in Core Optics. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the closing of which remains subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, the Member agreed to sell all of its membership interests in Core Optics to the Company in exchange for the Company’s issuance of certain shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0002 per share, of the Company; and (ii) certain shares of the Company’s common stock, for the Membership Interests so transferred by the Member (the “Exchange”).

Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into 150 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $3.00. The Preferred Stock is not expected to: require the payment of any dividends; include any operational covenants; or require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Company common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible. In addition, it is expected that all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically converted after a mandatory conversion event, which will be set forth in a certificate of designation that the Company would file with the Secretary of the State of Oklahoma at or before the closing of the Exchange. On June 27, 2024, the Company, Core Optics, the Operating Subsidiary and the Member entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the parties agreed to amend Sections 1.1, 9 and 10 of the Share Exchange Agreement. These amendments are intended to memorialize the understanding between the parties related to the beneficial holding of the combined company, wherein after the successful completion of the Share Exchange, the Member or its designee(s) shall beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to closing and after giving effect to any issuances by the Company.
