NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company does not have a commitment and contingency liability associated with any third party consulting agreements.

 

Effective August 3, 2012, without admitting any wrongdoing or liability, the Company settled all pending litigation with Eric Schick, the Company’s former President, related to allegations that the Company had committed certain unlawful employment practices (the “Schick Litigation”). The settlement provides for certain payments to Mr. Schick totaling $360,000, of which $180,000 was paid as a lump sum and $180,000 is payable over a twelve-month period in equal monthly installments of $15,000 each.  As a result of the settlement of the Schick Litigation, all claims by Mr. Schick were dismissed, with prejudice. The Company had previously established a reserve of $250,000 in anticipation of the costs and expenses associated with defending the Schick Litigation, and believes that the settlement allows the Company to focus on the execution of its business plan without the costs, expenses and uncertainty of continued litigation.
