Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return    
Relationship Between Pay and Performance

As reflected in the table above, the Company’s “total stockholder return,” as set forth in the table above, declined significantly over the period presented, with the value of an initial $100 investment decreasing from $123 at the end of 2023 to $105 at the end of 2024 and further to $60 at the end of 2025. Over this same period, “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s principal executive officers declined overall, reflecting changes in leadership and lower equity-related valuation adjustments, with no compensation reported for the former PEO in 2025 and reduced compensation for the current PEO relative to prior periods. Average “compensation actually paid” to non-CEO named executive officers also decreased from $309,950 in 2023 to $200,165 in 2024 and subsequently increased to $271,191 in 2025. Meanwhile, the Company’s net loss increased significantly from $(961,000) in 2023 to $(5,565,000) in 2024 and $(7,103,000) in 2025. Overall, the Company’s executive compensation levels generally reflect its operating performance and declining stockholder returns over the periods presented, although year-over-year changes are also influenced by equity award valuations and changes in executive roles.
