NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES

One of the Company’s agents that was appointed in 2008 to assist the Company to implement its trucking program failed to pay the net premium and policy fees due Unifax, the exclusive general agent for Crusader. The agent was initially late in paying its February 2009 production that was due to Unifax on April 15, 2009. In May 2009, as a result of the agent’s failure to timely pay its balance due to Unifax, the Company terminated its agency agreement and assumed ownership and control of that agent’s policy expirations written with the Company. The Company subsequently commenced legal proceedings against the agent’s corporation, its principals (who personally guaranteed the agent’s obligations), and another individual for the recovery of the balance due and any related recovery costs incurred. All related recovery costs have been expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2012, the agent’s balance due to Unifax was $1,395,226. Based on the information presently available, the Company has a bad debt reserve established of $995,226 which represents approximately 71% of the current balance due to Unifax. The Company’s bad debt reserve is subject to change as more information becomes available.
