MM Global has responded to FINRA inquires and is subject to an investigation conducted by FINRA. In June 2022, FINRA’s Department of Enforcement concluded its investigation and alleges that there have been violations of the federal securities laws and FINRA rules. The Company intends to settle and as of September 9, 2022, the settlement negotiations are still in process. The Company assesses the likelihood of adverse outcome to the matter, as well as the range of probable losses to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonable estimable. As of June 30, 2022, the Company accrued a liability of $450,000 that represents the total estimated amount the Company expects to pay to settle this matter.

Other than MM Global, we are currently not involved in any legal proceedings; nor are we aware of any claims that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
