Litigation – The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business.

 

On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Service Provider Agreement with SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA LTD (“SINO”) to perform investor relations services for SINO in exchange for 60,000 shares of SINO Rule of 144 restricted stock. When entering the 2016 Note Agreements, the Company believed that the SINO shares would be delivered as provided for in the agreement. However, the shares were not delivered purportedly due to a disagreement among SINO’s management, and as a result, the Company has not obtained the SINO shares as of February 28, 2019. On January 9, 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No. EC067692 for breach of contract and common counts against SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA LTD. Currently the case is pending with arbitration to commence in the coming months.
