On
August 28, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final consent judgment against the Company,
enjoining it from violating certain provisions of the federal securities laws and ordering disgorgement and civil monetary penalties.
The Court entered a final consent judgment in which it was ordered to pay $520,940 in disgorgement and $59,295 in prejudgment interest
thereon, as well as $100,000 in civil penalties. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued a total legal
settlement amount of $680,235 (See Note 11). Any potential penalties or interest related to non-payment cannot be reasonably estimated
at this time and, accordingly, have not been accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
