From
time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.
Although we have received inquiries from FINRA, NASDAQ and the SEC, to which we have responded, to the best of our knowledge,
no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties or businesses
are subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
