  The following describes a pending government action that has
  been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We
  are providing a summary of the government’s allegations.

  
  

   

  
  

  FTC vs Automation
  Industries, LLC dba Click Profit and Jason Masri, individually and as an officer, director, or owner of Automation Industries LLC and Click Profit Distribution LLC, et al.

  
  

   

  
  

  On March 5, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), has
  filed its Complaint in the United State District Court for the Southern District
  of Florida (Case No. 1:25-cv-20973-JB) for Permanent Injunction, Monetary
  Judgment, and Other Relief for a temporary restraining order, asset freeze,
  other equitable relief, and an order to show cause why a preliminary injunction
  should not be issued against Defendants.

  
  

   

  
  

  Defendants’ have engaged in ongoing violations of the FTC
  Act, the Business Opportunity Rule, the CRFA, and the Impersonation Rule.

  
  

   

  
  

  Defendants, in the marketing and selling of business
  opportunities, have violated the FTC Act as well as other laws enforced by the
  Commission by:

  
  

  (1) making false or unsubstantiated claims about earnings,
  their affiliation with well-known brands, and their use of artificial
  intelligence;

  
  

  (2) violating multiple trade regulation rule provisions in
  the selling of Defendants’ products or services, and

  
  

  (3) using threats and non-disparagement clauses to
  discourage purchasers from publishing truthful reviews about Defendants and
  their products or services.

  
  

   

  
  

  Defendants have taken at least $14 million from consumers in
  connection with their unlawful practices. 
  

  
  

   

  
  

  There is good cause to believe that irreparable damage to
  the Court’s ability to grant effective final relief for consumers—including
  monetary restitution, rescission, or refunds—will occur from the sale,
  transfer, destruction, or other disposition or concealment by Defendants of
  their assets or records, unless Defendants are immediately restrained and
  enjoined by order of this Court.

  
  

   

  
  

  It is ordered that Maria M. Yip is appointed as temporary
  receiver of the Receivership Entities with full powers of an equity receiver.
