NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
On March 11, 2015, the Company’s application for a license to produce marijuana for medical purposes was formally rejected by Health Canada. The Company filed an application for judicial review in Canadian federal court on April 10, 2015 in order to obtain a reversal of this decision. The outcome of this legal proceeding cannot be predicted. The file is currently making its way through the legal process in Federal Court in Canada.
 
The Company’s President signed a five-year contract in August 2013 under which he is entitled to an annual salary of $1,200,000 which is reviewed each February.. Mr. Chaaban waived the Company’s accrued wages owed to him in each year that the contract was outstanding.
