COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings We are periodically involved in various litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business and operations. There are no such matters pending that we expect to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. Legal costs associated with the resolution of claims, lawsuits and other contingencies are expensed as incurred. In November 2019, a class action lawsuit seeking unspecified damages was brought by a stockholder in the Federal District Court in Los Angeles, California, and subsequently transferred to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas, against the Company and members of its current and former management relating to our announcement of the circumstances leading to our restatement. We believe that suit was without merit, and the suit was withdrawn by the plaintiff in April 2020; however, there can be no assurance that additional litigation against the Company and/or its management or Board of Directors might not be threatened or brought in connection with matters related to our restatement. Delisting of Company’s Common Stock As previously disclosed, the Company was unable to timely file the Delinquent Filings due to the process of restating its financial statements as described above. As a result, on February 18, 2020, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s common stock would be subject to suspension and delisting from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). On May 1, 2020, the Panel granted the Company’s request to remain listed on Nasdaq, subject to the Company filing all current and overdue quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before August 10, 2020. Because the restatement process was not complete by such date, Nasdaq suspended trading in our shares as of August 13, 2020. Our stock has since traded on the OTC Link (previously “Pink Sheets”) operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol “TLFA”. Nasdaq denied our appeal of this decision, resulting in our stock being formally delisted on February 9, 2021. We intend to reapply for Nasdaq listing once the Company has made the required Exchange Act filings. SEC Investigation In 2019, the Company self-reported to the SEC information concerning the internal investigation of previously disclosed accounting matters resulting in the restatement for the full year 2017 and full year 2018, including interim quarters in 2018, and the first quarter of 2019. In response, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC initiated an investigation into the Company’s historical accounting practices. In July 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC to conclude this investigation. Under the terms of the settlement, in addition to other non-monetary settlement terms, (1) the Company paid a civil monetary penalty of $200,000, and (2) the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $25,000. In accepting the Company’s settlement offer, the SEC took into account remedial actions the Company took promptly after learning of the issues detailed in the SEC’s order.
