NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATIONGENERAL

Exploration-Stage Company

Since January 1, 2009, the Company has been classified as an “exploration stage” company for purposes of Item 1300 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under Item 1300, companies engaged in significant mining operations are classified into three categories, referred to as “stages” - exploration, development, and production. Exploration stage includes all companies that do not have established reserves in accordance with Item 1300. Such companies are deemed to be “in the search for mineral deposits.” Notwithstanding the nature and extent of development-type or production-type activities that have been undertaken or completed, a company cannot be classified as a development or production stage company unless it has established reserves in accordance with Item 1300.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended August 31, 2017,2022, dated December 14, 2017November 29, 2022 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 20172022 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Mineral Resources Corp and its proportionate interest in the assets, liabilities, and operations of Round Top Mountain Development Company, LLC (“RTMD”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumesassuming that the Company will not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit from inception through November 30, 2022, of approximately $34,748,000 as of November 30, 2017$40,320,000 and has yet to achieve profitable operations, and projects further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt aboutbusiness.

At November 30, 2022, the Company’s ability to continue asCompany had a going concern. Theworking capital surplus of approximately $2,156,000, however the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/orits ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intendsThe Company doesn’t expect to finance operating costs overgenerate revenue from operations in the next twelve monthsnear future.

In accordance with existing cash on hand and or private placement of common stock.

On March 14, 2016,our current projected budget, the Company fileddoes not have sufficient capital to fund its share of total cash calls required under the RTMD agreement and expected general and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023. Failure by the Company to make required cash calls to Round Top would result in significant dilution to its 20% ownership interest. Accordingly, the Company will be required to raise additional capital to fund its obligations during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital to fund its cash calls and expected general and administrative expenses. No cash calls were required in December 2022 and January 2023 and we have been notified by USARE that there will not be a Certificate of Amendment withcash call in February 2023 or March 2023. The Company may also seek to obtain short-term loans from the Secretary of Statedirectors of the State of Delaware to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Texas Rare Earth Resources Corp” to “Texas Mineral Resources Corp”. The amendment was effective at 9:00 am ESTCompany. Based on March 21, 2016. The Certificate of Amendment did not make any other amendmentsthese factors, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s Certificateability to continue as a going concern for a period of Incorporation.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt – Debit with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have been reclassifieda significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

However, based upon the Company being in default on the Note Payable there is no guarantee that the Foundation will allow the Company to bring the lease payments current without requiring the Company to provided additional consideration to the Foundation. Consequently, since the Company cannot be guaranteed the ability to utilize the lease due to its current default status, the Company has written off the value of this lease ($1,394,852) as of August 31, 2017. The Company intends to continue with the evaluation of the mineral potential of the property, to ultimately mine the property, and to bring this note payable and its accrued interest current when the funds are available.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit from inception through November 30, 2022, of approximately $40,320,000 and has yet to achieve profitable operations, and projects further losses in the development of its business.

Overview

At November 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $2,156,000, however the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

In accordance with our current projected budget, the Company does not have sufficient capital to fund its total cash calls and expected general and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023. Failure by the Company to make required cash calls to Round Top would result in significant dilution to its 20% ownership interest. Accordingly, the Company will be required to raise additional capital to fund its obligations during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023 as well as during the quarter ending November 30, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital to fund its cash calls and expected general and administrative expenses. No cash calls were required in December 2022 and January 2023 and we have been notified by USARE that there will not be a cash call in February or March 2023. Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview

We are a mining company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and if warranted, development of mineral properties. We currently holdown a 20% membership interest in RTMD, which entity holds two nineteen yearmineral property leases executed in September 2011 and November 2011,with the Texas General Land Office to explore and develop a 950 acre950-acre rare earths project located in Hudspeth County, Texas, known as the Round Top ProjectProject. The leases, originally signed with primary terms of approximately 19 and 18 years, each currently have remaining terms of approximately eight years and provisions for automatic renewal if Round Top is in production. RTMD also holds prospecting permits covering an9,345 acres adjacent 9,345 acres. Our principal focus will be on developingto the Round Top Project. The strategy of RTMD is to develop a metallurgical process to concentrate or otherwise extract the metals from the Round Top Project’s rhyolite, although we will continueconduct additional engineering, design, geotechnical work, and permitting necessary for a bankable feasibility study and then to examine other opportunities inextract mineral resources from the region as they develop. We currently have limited operations and haveRound Top Project. The Round Top Project has not established as of the date hereof that any of our projects orthe properties contain any Provenprobable mineral reserves or Probable Reservesproven mineral reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7. Our operationsItem 1300 of Regulation S-K.

Rare earth elements (“REE”) are exploratorya group of chemically similar elements that usually are found together in nature.nature – they are referred to as the “lanthanide series.” These individual elements have a variety of characteristics that are critical in a wide range of technologies, products, and applications and are critical inputs in existing and emerging applications. Without these elements, multiple high-tech technologies would not be possible. These technologies include:

WeBecause of these applications, global demand for REE is projected to steadily increase due to continuing growth in existing applications and increased innovation and development of new end uses. Interest in developing resources domestically has become a strategic necessity as there is limited production of these elements outside of China. Our ability to raise additional funds to continue to fund our participation interest in the Round Top Project may be impacted by future prices for REEs.

USA Rare Earth Agreement

In August 2018, the Company and Morzev Pty. Ltd. (“Morzev”) entered into an agreement (the “2018 Option Agreement”) whereby Morzev was granted the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest in the Company’s Round Top Project by financing $10 million of expenditures in connection with the Project, increasable to an 80% interest for an additional $3 million payment to the Company. Morzev began operating as USA Rare Earth, LLC (“USARE”) and in May 2019 notified the Company that it was nominating USARE as the optionee under the terms of the 2018 Option Agreement. In August 2019, the Company and USARE entered into an amended and restated option agreement as further amended on June 29, 2020 (the “2019 Option Agreement” and collectively with the 2018 Option Agreement, the “Option Agreement”), whereby the Company restated its agreement to grant USARE the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest, increasable to an 80% interest, in the Round Top Project. The 2019 Option Agreement has substantially similar terms to the 2018 Option Agreement:

On May 17, 2021, and in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company and USARE entered into a contribution agreement (“Contribution Agreement”) whereby the Company and USARE contributed assets to Round Top Mountain Development (“RTMD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for their ownership interests in RTMD, of which the Company now owns membership interests equating to 20% of RTMD and USARE owns membership interests equating to 80% of RTMD. Concurrently therewith, the Company and USARE as the two members entered into a limited liability company agreement (“Operating Agreement”) governing the operations of RTMD which contains customary and industry standard terms as contemplated by the Option Agreement. USARE will serve as manager of RTMD and Mr. Gorski, on behalf of the Company, will serve as one of the three members of the management committee.

In connection with USARE meeting its obligations to acquire a 70% interest in the Round Top Project and exercising its right to an additional 10% interest, the Company received total consideration of approximately $3,728,000, consisting of the $3 million upon exercise of the option and approximately $728,000 in previous advances to the Company by USARE, and derecognized 80% of the carrying amount of mineral properties, or approximately $402,000. The resulting gain on sale of interest in mineral properties in the amount of approximately $3,326,000 was recognized during the quarter ended May 31, 2021.

Upon entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company assigned the following contracts and assets to RTMD in exchange for its 20% membership interest in RTMD:

and USARE assigned the following assets to RTMD (or the Company, as applicable) for its 80% membership interest in RTMD:

The Company accounts for its interest in RTMD using the proportionate consolidation method, which is an exception available to entities in the extractive industries, thereby recognizing its pro-rate share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of RTMD in the appropriate classifications in the financial statements.

Santa Fe Project

In November 2021, the Company entered into a mineral exploration and option agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation (“Santa Fe”). Under the option agreement, the Company and Santa Fe plan to pursue, negotiate and subsequently enter into a joint venture agreement to jointly explore and develop a target silver property to be selected by the Company among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe within the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement, if any, is subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan leading to a bankable feasibility study to be undertaken in the near future by the Company. Under the contemplated terms of the proposed joint venture agreement, the Company would be project operator and initially own 50.5% of the joint venture while Santa Fe would initially own 49.5%. Additional terms of the joint venture are expected to be negotiated between the Company and Santa Fe in the future. 

Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company plans to conduct a district-wide evaluation among the patented and unpatented claims held by Santa Fe, consisting of geologic mapping, sampling, trenching, radiometric surveying, geophysics, drilling and/or other methods as warranted. Based on the district-wide evaluation, the Company will designate one 80-acre tract as the “project area” and commence detailed exploration work. The property covered in the option agreement is approximately 1,300 acres and covers approximately 75% of the known mining district. The area to be studied also includes a two-mile radius “area of interest.” The option agreement provides the Company with the right to designate any properties within the “area of interest” as “project area” properties. The term of the option is for so long as the Company continues to conduct exploration activities in the Project Area and can be exercised on 60 days’ notice to Santa Fe.

Additionally, in November 2021, the Company entered into a financing and purchase option agreement with Greentech Minerals Holdings, Inc. (“Greentech”); however, Greentech determined not to pursue this financing option. The Company is currently do not havepursuing other financing sources.

There can be no assurance any producing properties and consequently, we have no current operating incomejoint venture agreement or cash flow and have not generated any revenues. Further explorationfinancing agreement will be required beforeconsummated or that this project will materialize. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was approximately $40,320,000 and our cash position was approximately $1,844,000. We had a final evaluation as to the economic and practical feasibilityworking capital surplus of any of our properties is determined.

On December 23, 2013, we published a revised version of the June 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Revised PEA”)approximately $2,156,000. Round Top has not commenced commercial production on the Round Top Project based on a 20,000 tonne per day heap leach operation using a conventional element separation plant. The mineralized material estimate was recalculated to include uranium, niobium, tantalumProject. We have no revenues from operations and tin. The revised PEA assesses the potential economic viability of the simplified and “scaled down” operation whichanticipate we believe is a much better fit with the present rare earth market.

On September 8, 2014,will have no operating revenues until we announced that we had completed an internal analysis suggesting that there is a reasonable possibility to adapt a lower volume staged growth approach to developmentplace one or more of our properties into production. All properties are in the exploration stage.

During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022 and the quarter ended November 30, 2022, we funded approximately $1,937,000 and $386,000, respectively, to Round Top project. The analysis indicated that an operation designedpursuant to produce a selected group of separated REE productsour funding obligations set forth in the range of 350-450 tonnes per year range, could potentially yield favorable mine economics. The goal of the proposed staged approach would be to increase mining rates ifOperating Agreement. USARE funded approximately $8,402,000 and when our products gained acceptability. The analysis suggested that capital needs$1,545,600, respectively, in the Revised PEA could be proportionally reduced in relation to the lower volume initial stage. We are currently conducting a more detailed analysis of the relative capital expenses and operating expenses requirements of a scaled down processing plantconnection with both solvent extraction and ion exchange processes under evaluation. We believe the lower capital requirements of a staged startup could offset any marginal increase in unit operating costs.

Our current management and Board are stockholder-centric, and receive either no cash compensation or compensation that has been accrued. We will require definitive scientific documentation, rigorous economic studies, consideration of a wide range of alternatives and meticulous oversight of any cash outlays of stockholder funds.

Current Plan of Operations

Continued Work Program on Round Top Project

See “Properties – Current and Planned Metallurgical Activities” for a description of our current work activities and budget foradvancing the Round Top Project.

Exploration PotentialDuring the current fiscal year, Round Top is expected to fund the expenditure of approximately $77.1 million to optimize the leaching and developing of the Round Top Property

Although we have no plans in the next 24 months to conduct more physical exploration, we do believe, as stated in our 2010 presentations, that there are untested exploration targets present. They are:

We believe that using the existing data we can improve our understanding of the exploration potential of the area without resorting to such expensive techniques such as drilling.

Actively Seeking Project Partners

In addition to pursuing the exploration of our Round Top Project, we are actively seeking industry partners to assist the Company in financing the exploration and, if warranted, developmentCIX/CIC processing of the Round Top Project. While we do not currently have any agreements and do not anticipate any agreementsInitial process design work will be carried out at USARE’s facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Pending completion of the near future, we are actively engaged in pursuing partners forinitial process development, this facility will either be relocated to or replicated at the Round Top Project forwhere a rangepilot plant is expected to be established. This work will consist of participation, including but not limitedmining and crushing approximately 40,000 tonnes of rhyolite and setting up and equipping a facility to joint-venture arrangements, project sale, significant investment in the Company, back-end processing and product sales arrangements and other financing arrangements to assist inconduct pilot plant scale heap leaching. It is estimated that the Round Top Project.

OperationProject will require additional time and supportfurther expenditure to complete a bankable feasibility study. Our funding requirement is planned to be approximately $15.4 million of the DoE Grant.expected expenditures by Round Top during our current fiscal year, of which we funded approximately $386,000 during the quarter ended November 2022. No cash calls were required in December 2022 and January 2023 and we have been notified by USARE that there will not be a cash call in February or March 2023.

Approximately 25% of TMRC’ efforts will be allocatedWe do not have sufficient cash on hand to completing its sharefund our portion of the Phase 1 of the DoE grant. Our role in this grant is to acquire the samples, evaluate the primary and alternate sites, conduct the economic evaluation and co-ordinate the project.

Operation of American Minerals Reclamation

Absent the securing of feasibility financing for Round Top the remainder of TMRC plans to actively pursue the development of American Minerals Reclamation (AMR). We have set no geographical limitations on this project butBudget during our current fiscal year. Therefore, we are currently basing our efforts in the Pennsylvania coal producing region because of the excellent opportunities present there and existence of the network of people and institutions that have been developed during the grant application process.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of November 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,601,000. We currently have no working capital and will need to raise additional funding to implement our business strategy.

Duringstrategy and to continue to fund our portion of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017,Round Top Budget, the failure of which would result in dilution of our ownership interest in RTMD (which could be significant) and could further cause us to curtail or cease our operations. The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of our securities. Any sale of our shares of Common Stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing stockholders. This means that if we completed Stage 1of our metallurgical activities as discussedsell shares of Common Stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing stockholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. Alternatively, we may rely on debt financing and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments. Also, we may issue or grant warrants or options in the section heading “ITEM 2. PROPERTIES”future pursuant to which additional shares of this Annual Report. Our budget for this stageCommon Stock may be issued. Exercise of activity was approximately $134,502. To datesuch warrants or options will result in dilution of equity ownership to our existing stockholders. We have no firm commitment with respect to obtaining debt or equity financing and, accordingly, we have expended approximately that amount on Stage 1 which is now complete. Estimated cost of Stage 2 is $2,015,454, $336,454 of which has been spent; this phase, called milestone 1, of Stage 2 has been modified and augmented by the Defense Logistical Agency. Therewill be reliant upon a best efforts financing strategy. Accordingly, there is no guaranteeassurance that we will be able to raise the working capital necessary for balance of Stage 2 activities. After completion of Stage 1, we will use any remaining available capital to begin work on Stage 2fund our portion of the Round Top Budget and our metallurgical activities.

The audit opinion and notes that accompany our financial statements forgeneral administrative expenses during the fiscal year endedending August 31, 2017, disclose a ‘going concern’ qualification to our ability to continue in business. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception. We do not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and raising additional funds. We believe that the going concern condition cannot be removed with confidence until the Company has entered into a business climate where funding of its activities is more assured.2023.

We currently do not have funds to pursue exploration or development work on any of our properties, which means that we will be required to raise additional capital, enter into joint venture relationships, or find alternative means to finance our properties in order to place them into commercial production, if warranted, or evaluate the possibility of selling one or more of our projects or the Company in its entirety. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and, if warranted, development or production on one or more of our properties and any properties we may acquire in the future or even a loss of property interests. This includes our leases over claims covering the principal deposits on our properties, which may expire unless we expend minimum levels of expenditures over the terms of such leases. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as our business performance.

Investment Company Act Exclusion

Section 3(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), provides that a company “substantially all of whose business consists of owning or holding oil, gas, or other mineral royalties or leases, or fractional interests therein, or certificates of interest or participation in or investment contracts relative to such royalties, leases, or fractional interests” is not an investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company has determined that this exemption applies to it giving consideration to the following four factors:

The Company intends to continue to conduct its business operations in order to continue to be excluded from the definition of an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.None.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to Directors, Officersdirectors, officers and consultants using the Black-Scholes model.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and in light of the material weakness existing in our internal controls over financial reporting as of August 31, 2022 (as described in greater detail in our annual report on From 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022), the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuringproviding reasonable assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective during the period covered by this report because during the period the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on February 24, 2016, but failed to include in its proxy statement for the meeting prepared under Regulation 14A of the Securites Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as was required under Rule 14a-21(a) under the Exchange Act. The omission was inadvertent and the Company intends to include the advisory vote to approve the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy statement under Regulation 14A for its next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in early 2018. The Company is implementing additional internal procedures, to ensure that all requirements, including the requirements of Rule 14a-21, are met in future filings.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

None.None

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except asThe following updates our risk disclosures set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 20172022 as filed with the SEC on December 14, 2017.November 29, 2022.

We have not sought an advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

Rule 14a-21 under the Exchange Act requires us to seek a separate stockholder advisory vote at our annual meeting at which directors are elected to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, not less frequently than once every three years (say-on-pay vote). At our annual meeting in February of 2016, we did not submit to our stockholders a say-on-pay vote to approve an advisory resolution regarding our compensation program for our named executive officers. Consequently, the Board of Directors has not considered the outcome of our say-on-pay vote results when determining future compensation policies and pay levels for our named executive officers.
