Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

	(a)	Redwood is the direct beneficial owner of 3,031,810 shares of Common Stock. Ladyface Capital, LLC is the General Partner of Redwood. Ronald Levy, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Issuer, is the Chief Operating Officer of Ladyface Capital, LLC.

Mr. Levy is also the direct beneficial owner of 10 shares of Preferred Stock.

		Imperial is the direct beneficial owner of 2,085,617 shares of Common Stock. Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Issuer, is the Chief Executive Officer of Imperial. Accordingly, Mr. Levy may be deemed to have voting and investment power over the shares beneficially owned by Imperial.

		The percentage ownership is calculated based on (i) 1,981,881,172 shares of Common Stock, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2024 and (ii) 10 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which is the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 5, 2024 as determined by the Issuer.

	(b)	See Items 11 and 13 of the cover page to this Statement for the aggregate number of shares and percentage of issued and outstanding Shares owned by the Reporting Person. The percentage ownership is calculated based on (i) 1,981,881,172 shares of Common Stock, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2024 and (ii) 10 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which is the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 5, 2024 as determined by the Issuer.

In the past sixty days, there have been no sales effected by the Reporting Persons to various accredited investors in private transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D/A, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any Reporting Person and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to: transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer or of its subsidiaries, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the securities of the Issuer.
