16.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters relating to product liability claims. Such product liability claims sometimes involving wrongful death or injury have historically been covered by product liability insurance, which provided coverage for each claim up to $1,000,000. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not renew its product liability insurance since the renewal policy amount was cost prohibitive. The Company is currently seeking a new insurance carrier or alternative means to satisfy this potential liability exposure, as well as to fulfil the sales terms of some of our customers, which require the insurance coverage.

As previously disclosed, we are co-defendants under an action filed by an individual in June 2013 in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from use of a Brownie’s Third Lung. Plaintiff has claimed damages in excess of $1,000,000. The insurance carrier’s legal counsel indicates unfavorable outcome is possible, but not probable. We believe such claim is without merit and intend to continue to aggressively defend such action. In addition, as previously disclosed, we are also co-defendant under an action filed March 2015, in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from the use of a Brownie’s Third Lung product. This claim falls outside the Company’s period of insurance coverage. The Company believes the claim to be a Workers Compensation claim relating exclusively against other defendant and without merit, and has retained counsel to aggressively defend this action.

The Company has retained legal counsel, believes the claim is completely without basis in fact or merit, and intends to aggressively defend.

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a new lease commitment. Terms of the new lease include thirty-seven month term commencing on September 1, 2014; payment of $5,367 security deposit; base rent of approximately $4,000 per month over the term of the lease plus sales tax; and payment of 10.76% of annual operating expenses (i.e. common areas maintenance), which is approximately $1,500 per month subject to periodic adjustment.

On July 1, 2014 the following complaint was settled in full: On December 18, 2012, Undersea Breathing Systems, Inc. (“UBS”) filed an amended complaint against the Company compelling purchase of Medal Model No. 4241 membranes or equivalent pursuant to pricing agreement in 2011. UBS is the holder of the convertible debenture referenced in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES Ref (2). Under the complaint, UBS asserted the Company was to purchase no less than 24 membranes from the company per year for $2,000 and $1,000, cash and Company stock, respectively, per membrane. The Company took delivery, paid cash, and issued stock for 14 Medal Model No 4241 membranes pursuant to the stated pricing in 2011, plus issued an additional $24,000 stock toward future purchases of 24 membranes. However, the Company has not purchased or taken delivery of additional membranes. At the same time the stock was issued the Company granted UBS a convertible debenture of $76,000 and reduced its balance to $48,000 when the Company paid $28,000 cash and took delivery of the 14 membranes. Therefore, UBS currently has $24,000 worth of stock and a $48,000 convertible debenture for which the Company took no membrane deliveries. On July 1, 2014, the court granted dismissal of the final remaining complaint asserted by UBS. Associated with the dismissal, the Company reversed in the third quarter of 2014, related prepaid inventory and convertible debenture resulting in a loss on settlement of $14,850.
