Legal Matters

 

In 2008 the Company filed suit against its former co-founder, President, Chief Executive Officer George Pursglove for breach of confidentiality and non-compete while employed and also postemployment, breach of fiduciary duty and other matters, and the Company was seeking to enforce certain non-compete agreements.  The former CEO subsequently counter-sued the Company for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and other matters.  The former CEO was seeking to be awarded $75,000 in cash plus at least 3.3 million shares of stock of the Company.  On July 28, 2011, the Company received a jury verdict ordering and adjudging in Case Number 2:08-cv-00496-KJD-LRL where BOOMj.com was the Plaintiff and the former CEO was the Defendant & Counterclaimant, that a judgment be entered in favor of the Defendant and Counterclaimant against the Plaintiff, BOOMj.com, in the amount of $20,775 for damages as to the claim for failure to pay wages, $3,000,000 for damages as to the conversion claim, and $3,000,000 for punitive damages. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017 there was an outstanding principle balance of $5,758,332 and $5,758,332, respectively outstanding for this matter. The Company is accruing interest at an annual rate of 5.29% on the outstanding balance. The current balance of the accrued interest as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2,363,192 and $2,044,912, respectively.

 

On May 2, 2017 the Pursglove debt was reduced by $262,453 through the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible 12% Cumulative Preferred stock and 1,556,632 shares of Common Stock reducing the balance to $5,758,322.

 

Operating Lease

 

We currently lease virtual office space at 3773 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite: 500 Las Vegas, NV 89169.  We pay an annual fee of $120 for this lease. During 2019, we intend to move the Company’s headquarters to Florida. On October 2, 2018, we entered into a Letter of Intent with CP Boca Plaza LLC to lease commercial space in an office building located at 5355 Town Center Road, Ste. 405, Boca Raton, Florida 33486. As of the date of this Form 10-K, management is currently negotiating a sixty-three (63) month term for the office lease in which we anticipate leasing approximately 1,815 rentable square feet of office space for a monthly rental fee of $7,594 for the first year, and increasing approximately 3% each year throughout the term of the lease. We believe this new office space will meet our needs for the next five years.  The move will also help to facilitate and reduce the cost to maintain and develop the Company’s future business, all of which we intend to maintain on the east coast of the United States.  There is also a location in Minnesota for Service 800, Inc. The current address of Service 800, Inc. is 2190 Wayzata Blvd, Long Lake Minnesota 55356. Service 800 rents its facilities under an operating lease agreement with Green Valley Associates., which is owned by the sole shareholder of the Company. The lease, which expires December 31, 2018, requires base monthly rents of $17,200, plus operating expenses. The lease automatically renews for an additional one year term unless terminated by either party. The lease was renewed for an additional year on December 31, 2018.
