NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Office Lease

 

At April 30, 2019, the Company had a remaining balance owed of $10,000 from a settlement agreement dated February 5, 2018 related to a lease agreement for its corporate headquarters and training facility in Lakewood Ranch, Manatee County, Florida. The terms included that the Company gave up all right, title and interest to business equipment and office furniture in the premises until paid.

 

On May 1, 2019, the landlord and the Company executed an amendment to the settlement discussed above which specified:

 

 

a.

In lieu of making the payment of $10,000 on May 1, 2019, the Company has paid the landlord $2,500 of the $10,000 payment; and

 

b.

The Company paid the landlord $503 as reimbursement for an additional month of storage space rental; and

 

c.

The Company will pay the landlord the remaining $7,500 balance on or before May 31, 2019.

 

On May 29, 2019, the Company paid the remaining balance of $7,500 related to the settlement discussed above and as a result, the Company has right, title and interest to the remaining unused football equipment that was under the control of the landlord prior to the final payment. The Company had previously impaired $135,323 value of unused football equipment at April 30, 2017 that was recovered in relation to the office lease settlement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because the recovered football equipment was previously impaired, the Company has recorded it at a zero-cost basis because the value cannot be increased once impaired, regardless of its fair market value.

 

Lawsuit for Legal Fees

 

On May 9, 2009, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for failure of the Company to pay legal fees owed in the amount of $166,129. The Company negotiated with Stradley and in July 2014, issued Stradley 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.05 per share, the quoted market price on the date of grant, as a sign of good faith towards a resolution. On April 2, 2009, to avoid the cost of litigation, the Company agreed to a Consent of Judgment against it in the amount of $166,129 and the Company continues to carry this amount as accounts payable in the accompanying Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019.

 

Attorney Lien

 

On August 2, 2017, David Bovi, the Company’s former legal counsel, submitted correspondence reflecting a “charging lien” for non-payment related to $243,034 of legal services provided to the Company, which included $19,453 of interest on unpaid invoices. The retainer agreement with Mr. Bovi specified that interest will be charged at 1% per month for unpaid amounts. The Company recorded $6,720 of interest expense related to the unpaid invoices during the three months ended July 31, 2019 resulting in a total amount owed of $301,121, classified as accounts payable in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. The “charging lien” states that Mr. Bovi will retain all Company documents in his possession unless paid the amount outstanding as described above.

The Company retained Herm Edwards, a former NFL player and coach, as a consultant to promote the new football league. On September 19, 2017, Mr. Edwards agent contacted the Company and indicated that under the contract, Mr. Edwards was still owed the sum of $216,667, which the Company has recorded as accounts payable to Mr. Edwards in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019.

In 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with BodyHype of Canada to be the Company’s official uniform supplier and BodyHype has made a claim with the Company for a $140,000 payment for which the Company disputes. Based upon the claim, the Company has recorded $140,000 as accounts payable to BodyHype in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019.

 

Vendor Lawsuits

 

H&J Ventures, LLC

 

H&J Ventures, LLC (“H&J”) is a debtor in a chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding. The chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) made a claim in 2016 against the Company relating to an October 1, 2014 agreement between the Company and H&J.

 

On August 24, 2017, the Company and H&J agreed to a $50,000 settlement payment by the Company to the bankruptcy trustee to resolve the matter. On August 13, 2018, the Company and the Trustee executed a Stipulation and Consent Order specifying that the Company would pay the Trustee $50,000 by August 31, 2018. If payment was not made timely by the Company and was not cured within three (3) days of the August 31, 2018 date, a consent judgment in the amount of $70,000 would be entered against the Company. The Company did not make the required payment within the timeframe and as a result, a judgment in the amount of $70,000 was entered against the Company. The Company has previously recorded $70,000 for the potential settlement as accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. See Note 2 – Accrued Expenses.

 

Interactive Liquid LLC:

 

On August 4, 2017, Interactive Liquid LLC (Interactive”), a vendor of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the amount of $153,016 related to unpaid invoices for logo design and website development services provided. On December 18, 2017, MLFB received a settlement demand for payment of consideration with a total value of $153,016, consisting of stock valued at $26,016 and periodic cash payments to be completed on or before June 1, 2018 totaling $127,000. Further negotiations ensued and ultimately the case was settled on or about March 5, 2018.

 

The settlement called for MLFB to make payment to Interactive in the sum of $10,000 immediately upon receipt of an initial tranche of funding. MLFB was then required to make an additional payment of $30,000 on or before June 1, 2018. MLFB’s failure to make the payments as outlined would result in the entry of a judgment in favor of Interactive against MLFB in the sum of $153,016, said sum representing the full amount of Interactive’s claimed damages. The Company failed to make the required payment due to lack of funding and as such, on June 4, 2018, Interactive filed the stipulated judgment. The Company has recorded accounts payable to Interactive of $153,016 in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. The judgment remains unpaid.

 

Lamnia International:

 

The Company previously entered into a contract with Lamnia International (“Lamnia”) for investor relations services. On December 7, 2017, the Company received a demand for payment in the sum of $153,000. Per the demand letter, the sum was to be paid on or before December 15, 2017 and if not paid, collections and or legal actions could be instituted. The Company has recorded accounts payable to Lamnia of $124,968 in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. The difference in amounts is because the Company terminated the agreement in writing to the vendor whereas the vendor continued to charge for services after the date of termination for which the Company disagrees.

 

Unpaid Taxes and Penalties

 

At July 31, 2019, the Company owed the State of Delaware $110,154 for unpaid state income taxes from the tax year ended April 30, 2007. The unpaid state income taxes are included as state income taxes payable in accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company owes the State of Delaware for penalties and interest from the tax year ending April 30, 2007 of $224,174, which is included as accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019. The Company has an agreement with the State of Delaware to pay a minimum per month. However, due to cash flow constraints, the Company has been unable to pay the minimum monthly amounts and is in default of the agreement that may cause additional interest and penalties and lead to other collection efforts by the State of Delaware.

 

In September 2015, the Company reached an offer in compromise (“OIC”) settlement with the IRS for unpaid penalties and interest from the tax year ended April 30, 2007. The settlement was in the amount of $13,785 and was to be paid by the Company with a $1,000 payment upon the execution of settlement, then the balance of $1,757 paid in November 2015 and making up the 20% down payment of $2,757, a second installment payment of $2,208, and then four monthly payments of $2,205. The Company made all required payments in accordance with the settlement except for the final payment of $2,205.

 

The Company received correspondence from the IRS that because of an application fee not being paid with the original OIC, the Company was required to submit a new OIC and the required application fee. In October 2016, the Company had a telephone call with an IRS representative and were informed to offer the last payment that was due on the original OIC of $2,205 as discussed above and pay 20% of that balance. On October 5, 2016, the Company sent to the IRS by certified mail two checks in the amount of $186 (application fee for the new OIC) and $449 (20% or $441 of the $2,205 remaining original OIC payment and an $8 processing fee). The Company applied $441 against the remaining payment owed and the balance of $1,764 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheet at July 31, 2019 (See Note 2 – Accrued Expenses). As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not received any further correspondence form the IRS and the Company is considered in default of the settlement agreement and the IRS could void or restructure the agreement.
