NOTE 9 – 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 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. The agent corporation and two of its principals filed bankruptcy. The corporation was adjudicated bankrupt. The Company obtained judgments, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, for the full amount due from the two individuals who filed bankruptcy. The other principal stipulated to a judgment of $1,200,000. The claim against the other individual was resolved. The Company collected $62,750 during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and $101,204 during the year ended December 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, the agent’s balance due to Unifax was $1,331,272. The Company’s bad debt reserve was $931,272 which represents approximately 70% of the current balance due to Unifax. The Company’s bad debt reserve is subject to change as more information becomes available.
