Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against the Company that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

IRS Liability

As part of its requirement for having a foreign operating subsidiary, the Company’s parent U.S. entity is required to file an informational Form 5471 to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), which is a form that explains the nature of the relationship between the foreign subsidiary and the parent company. From 2012 through the 2014, the Company did not file this form in a timely manner. As a result of the non-timely filings, the Company incurred a penalty from the IRS in the amount of $10,000 per year, or $30,000 in total, plus accrued interest, such penalty and interest having been accrued and is included in the accrued expenses and other payable figure in the March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded the penalties for all three years during the year ended June 30, 2018. The Company is current on all subsequent filings.
