Mr. Au commented, "Short and distort schemes used on our stock are negatively affecting our company. These schemes hurt our investors and patients, especially children and their families who are looking for a natural approach to treat attention hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD" , autism spectrum disorder ("ASD" and COVID-19, and have the potential to disrupt our mission to help our patients. I strongly agree with Elon Musk that sophisticated hedge funds are using short selling and complex derivatives to take advantage of small investors. Thus, I will continue to draw a $1 annual salary and no bonus until the company reaches a $1 billion market capitalization and reserve share options for all employees except myself. I put my money where my mouth is and will continue to use my personal funds to purchase company shares to demonstrate my commitment to the Company and my position against short and distort sellers. Based on publicly available data, the Company believes there is a total cumulative short volume of over 19 million shares since the Company’s IPO. I began my share purchases since last year, using my personal funds in order to further our goal to save and improve lives."
