NOTE 5 - Commitments and Contingencies


The Company leases office and warehouse space located in Jupiter, Florida under a month-to-month lease and leases space in an industrial yard in Irvine, California under a one year lease which commenced in June 2011 and leases a facility in Brooklyn under a one year lease that began in February 2013.


Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $37,179 and $30,826, respectively.

 

On November 14, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved new employment agreements for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, then President, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The employment agreements each provide for base salaries of $150,000 and 800,000 stock settled stock appreciation rights ("SARS") of which (i) 200,000 vested immediately, (ii) 200,000 vest upon the Company generating $3,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period, (iii) another 200,000 vest upon the Company generating $5,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period and (iv) another 200,000 vest upon the Company generating $6,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period. The SARs are exercisable at $0.45 per share over a 10-year period. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, then President and Chief Technology Officer agreed to cancel the 250,000 stock options granted to each of them in their prior employment agreements. These executives' base salary will increase to: (i) $170,000 upon the Company generating $3,000,000 in revenue in any 12-month period, (ii) $190,000 upon the Company generating $5,000,000 in any 12-month period and (iii) $200,000 upon the Company generating $6,000,000 in any 12-month period.


Additionally, the Compensation Committee approved an employment agreement for the Company's Executive Chairman. The Executive Chairman receives a base salary of $200,000 per year and was granted 800,000 restricted stock units vesting on identical terms as the SARs. All of the five senior executives receive a monthly car allowance of $600 per month. The Compensation Committee will also have the discretion to award each of the executives a bonus based upon job performance, revenue growth or any other factors determined by the Compensation Committee. Each of the employment agreements was effective as of October 1, 2012 and is for a four-year term. In June 2013, the Company terminated this agreement for cause.


The Company was sued by a former employee on June 23, 2008, alleging breach of a consulting agreement and an employment agreement entered into in May and June 2007, respectively. In addition, the plaintiff seeks to recover certain of his personal property, which was used or stored in the Company's offices, and alleges the Company invaded his privacy by looking at his personal computer (which was used in the Company's business) in the Company's offices. A jury trial was held for the lawsuit in July 2012. At the conclusion of the trial, the plaintiff was awarded $200,000 under his invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation claim, $5,000 on the trespass claim,$841,000 on the breach of consulting agreement claim and $200,000 against the Company's CEO on a claim of civil theft, which by law results in an award of $600,000 for the plaintiff. The Company's board of directors approved the indemnification of the Company's CEO for the $600,000. The Company filed a post trial motion for Judgment Notwithstanding Verdict, New Trial and Remittitur, requesting that the judge set aside or reduce the amounts of the jury verdict.


Based upon the verdicts, the Company recorded a litigation accrual of $1,646,000 as of June 30, 2012. In November 2012, the insurance carrier paid the plaintiff $200,000 in settlement of the invasion of privacy and fraudulent misrepresentation awards. As a result, the Company reduced the amounts accrued for these awards resulting in other income of $200,000 for the period ended December 31, 2012.


In January 2013, the court ruled on the Company's post-trial motions in this litigation dismissing the $200,000 civil theft verdict (which was subject to triple damages) against the CEO and reducing the $841,000 breach of the consulting agreement award to $500,000. The Company then filed a motion seeking a new trial on damages. The Company received a favorable ruling on this motion and received a new trial on the damages. As a result of the reduction in the award for breach of the consulting agreement from $841,000 to $500,000 and the vacating of the award for civil theft which the Company had previously accrued $600,000, the Company recorded other income of $941,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The Company expects the trial to determine damages to occur in early 2014.


The Company may be subject to rescission rights from an investor who purchased 249,931 shares of the Company's common stock in December 2012 at an average price of $0.36 per share during a time when the Registration Statement for those shares was stale due to the Company's failure to file a Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement including updated financial statements. As such, from now until the end of December 2013, the investor has the right under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 to file suit against the Company to rescind the purchase and force the Company to repurchase the shares at the price paid by the investor. To date, the investor has not filed suit and because the market price of the Company's common stock has been significantly higher than $0.36 per share, the Company considers the likelihood that the investor will file suit to be remote. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 450-20 "Loss Contingencies", the Company has not recorded a liability for the potential rescission.
