6.Contingencies

a. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2014 include $177,810 (December 31, 2013 - $177,810) of amounts owing to a supplier, which the Company is in the process of disputing. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. Any adjustment will be recorded in the period that an agreement with the supplier is reached and the amount becomes determinable.

b. The Company has had three judgments against it relating to overdue promissory notes and accrued interest and a fourth creditor has demanded repayment of an overdue promissory note and accrued interest. To date, the Company has not repaid any of these promissory notes and related accrued interest and could be subject to further action. The legal liability, totaling $977,000, of these promissory notes and related accrued interest have been fully recognized and recorded by the Company.

With respect to one of these promissory notes totaling $125,000:

On February 5, 2014, a default judgment was rendered against the Company whereby it was ordered to repay $125,000 of loan principal in addition to interest of 8% per annum from January 16, 2011 until the date the loan is repaid along with any costs incurred by the plaintiff for the judgement. The loan principal of $125,000 has previously been recorded as a zero interest loan. Accordingly, the Company had recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month on the principal outstanding. The total imputed interest recorded from January 16, 2011 to December 31, 2013 was approximately $44,000.

As a result of the judgement, this loan should not have accrued imputed interest of $44,000. The accumulated interest at the legal rate of 8% was approximately $30,000 from January 16, 2011 to December 31, 2013. During the 3 months ended March 31, 2014, the Company reversed the imputed interest expense of $44,000 and recognized the interest expense on the promissory note totaling $29,000.
