  - Action: non reliance
  source text: On March 1, 2023, the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), based on the recommendation of, and after consultation with, the Company’s management, and as discussed with BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the previously issued financial statements, concluded that the Company’s audited financial statements as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on September 1, 2022, and the financial statements as reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2022, should no longer be relied upon due to inaccurate fair value measurements of a certain corporate investment (the “Non-Reliance Periods”).
