1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time, we become involved in or are threatened with legal disputes. While most of these disputes are not likely to have a material
effect on our business, financial condition, or operations, the following matters are deemed by the Company to be material either due
to the costs of litigation or the potential negative impacts to the Company should these matters not be resolved in our favor:
●
Crest
Ventures, LLC – We have been sued in a putative breach of contract case in the District Court for Arapahoe County, Colorado.
The allegations in the action are based on a claim that Crest Ventures, LLC is entitled to commission compensation on the February
2021 uplisting of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe we have substantial defenses to the claim asserted in
this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend this action.
●
Sunflower
Bank – We have filed a lawsuit against Sunflower Bank related to fraudulent wire transfers
of approximately $5.1 million that were made from our accounts at Sunflower Bank in October
2021. As of the date of this Report, $1.8 million of these funds have been returned to us.
We are suing Sunflower Bank for the remaining $3.3 million as we believe that Sunflower
Bank failed to follow industry standard procedures designed to prevent such a theft and is
therefore liable for the unrecovered balance. We expect Sunflower Bank, Sunflower Bank’s
insurers, and/or our insurer to reimburse us for the remaining balance.
