NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal

 

From time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results except:

 

First Capital Venture

 

On November 3, 2020, First Capital Venture Co., a subsidiary of the client, d/b/a Diamond CBD, filed a civil complaint against the Shvo Defendants and Thunder Energies Corporation (the “Defendants”), in the pending 17th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Broward County, Florida, (the “Florida Court”), Case Number CACE-20-019111 (the “Complaint”).

 

On January 26, 2021, Plaintiffs were erroneously granted an Order of Default to which the Defendants immediately pointed out to the Court and on February 23, 2021 an Order Vacating the Default was granted in favor of the Defendants. The Plaintiff knew, or should have known, that the Order of Default was not valid but they proceeded on February 9, 2021 to publish false and misleading press releases.

 

Thunder Energies Corporation is proceeding through discovery and is of the belief the suit will be decided in their favor. A pending Motion to Dismiss is before the Court. Plaintiff’s Complaint is based on a claim for tortious interference and misappropriation of trade secrets. Neither claim is supported by the Complaint.

 

Thunder Energies Corporation has issued a cease and desist to the Plaintiff and is considering a counter claim concerning the false information and disclosures made by the Plaintiff that may have affected the Company’s business and shareholders.

 

On November 23, 2022 (“Settlement Date”), Mr. Shvo agreed to settle with First Capital Venture on behalf of the Defendants for $11,500 to be paid within ten (10) days from the Settlement Date. As of the date of this filing, the settlement payment of $11,500 has not been paid.

 

The Company is unable to predict the financial outcome of this matter at this time, and any views formed as to the viability of these claims or the financial exposure which could result may change from time to time as the matter proceeds through its course. Accordingly, adjustments, if any, that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is confident to obtain a summary judgement in their favor on the trade secret allegations and hence has not provided for any financial exposure. However, no assurance can be made that this matter together with the potential for reputational harm, will not result in a material financial exposure, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Rocket Systems – Discontinued Operations

 

On October 13, 2021, Rocket Systems, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Nature Consulting LLC (“Nature”) in the pending 17th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Broward County, Florida, (the “Florida Court”), Case Number CACE-21-018840 (the “Complaint”).

 

The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff paid Nature a deposit of $50,000 for the delivery of Nature products. According to the Complaint, Nature delivered $6,188 of the product but failed to deliver the remaining $43,812 of product.

 

Plaintiff has demanded that the remainder of the product order be canceled and the refund of $43,812 be issued. In addition, the Plaintiff is seeking prejudgment interest and costs of this action.

 

The Company is unable to predict the financial outcome of this matter at this time, and any views formed as to the viability of these claims or the financial exposure which could result may change from time to time as the matter proceeds through its course. Accordingly, adjustments, if any, that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements except that Nature has recorded a reserve of $43,812 as of December 31, 2021. However, no assurance can be made that this matter together with the potential for reputational harm, will not result in a material financial exposure, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

This contingency will remain with Nature and not be a contingency for the Company per the Bear Village acquisition (see Note 1).

 

Home Remedies CBD – Discontinued Operations

 

On November 23, 2021, Home Remedies CBD, LLC (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against TheHemplug LLC (“THP”) in the pending 3rd Judicial Circuit Court in and for Wayne County, Michigan, (the “Michigan Court”), Case Number CACE-21-016306-CB (the “Complaint”).

 

The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff paid Nature a deposit of $60,030 for the delivery of THP products. According to the Complaint, Nature delivered $27,600 of the product but failed to deliver the remaining $32,430 of product. In addition, Plaintiff returned $4,575 of product to correct the labeling and that THP failed to correct the labeling and return the product to Plaintiff.

 

Plaintiff has demanded that the remainder of the product order be canceled and a refund of $37,005. In addition, the Plaintiff is seeking prejudgment interest and costs of this action.

 

The Company is unable to predict the financial outcome of this matter at this time, and any views formed as to the viability of these claims or the financial exposure which could result may change from time to time as the matter proceeds through its course. Accordingly, adjustments, if any, that might result from the resolution of this matter have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements except that THP has recorded a reserve of $15,000 as of December 31, 2021. The Company is confident to obtain a summary judgement in their favor on the trade secret allegations and hence has not provided for any financial exposure. However, no assurance can be made that this matter together with the potential for reputational harm, will not result in a material financial exposure, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

On July 19, 2022, THP agreed to pay Plaintiff a settlement of $15,000. This contingency will remain with Nature and not be a contingency for the Company per the Bear Village acquisition (see Note 1).
