Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2022, there were no material changes to the Company’s legal matters and other contingencies disclosed in the Note 5 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2021 Form 10-K except as described in this Note 6.
On or about September 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) requiring the Company to pay a civil penalty of $491,474 payable in installments of 10% within 30 days, 10% within 90 days and then 10% monthly from January through August of 2023. The EPA had alleged that the Company sold software and hardware used to disable the elements of design installed by motor vehicle manufacturers to meet emission standards. The alleged violations of Section 203(a)(3)(B) of the Clean Air Act occurred during 2017 and 2018. The Company had removed all such productions from its website by the end of 2018. |
