NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company takes the short-term exemption from ASC 842, “Leases,” as it rents an office at 2831 St. Rose Pkwy, Henderson, Nevada on month-to-month basis for $75 a month.

 

Litigation

 

On July 15, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit with the Eight Circuit District Court in Clark County, Nevada, naming Albert Koenigsberg and Geocommand, Inc. as defendants. The Company sought relief for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, conversion, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty. The Company’s allegations included, among other claims, that Mr. Koenigsberg, during his prior time as an executive of the Company, utilized unauthorized funds, entered into improper agreements, and unaccounted for the Company’s finances. On or about December 30, 2022, the Company was successful in obtaining a total judgment of $57,320.94 against Albert Koenigsberg solely, with interest continuing to accrue until paid in full, as follows:

 

 

1)

The principal sum of $43,500;

 

2)

Interest calculated at 6.75% on the principal amount from the date of service of the Complaint, August 11, 2022, until this judgment is paid in full, calculated at $8.05 per day, which amounts to $2,600.15 through June 30, 2023, which amount continues to accrue unless and until paid in full; and

 

3)

Reasonable attorneys’ fees in the amount of $10,892.50; and

 

4)

Costs of suit in the amount of $1,785.34.

 

The matter as it relates to defendant Geocommand is ongoing and is scheduled to go to trial later this year.

 

On August 13, 2021, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against multiple defendants, which include GPL Ventures LLC, Alexander Dillon, and Cosmin Panait, among other parties (altogether “Defendants”). The Complaint indicates that the Defendants participated in a penny stock fraud scheme. The SEC also charged certain of the Defendants with operating as unregistered dealers, and obtained emergency relief to halt their ongoing conduct. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Defendants falsely represented to their brokers that GPL Ventures was not involved in any stock promotions with respect to the shares GPL Ventures was depositing and selling into the market. Furthermore, the complaint also charges Dillon, Panait and the GPL entities with operating as unregistered dealers, and given their ongoing conduct, the SEC sought and obtained an order temporarily restraining these defendants and freezing their assets until further order of the Court.  On June 12, 2023, the Company was notified by GPL that it hereby surrenders the unconverted GPL Notes in their entirety along with any other unconverted convertible notes which GPL holds in the Company. The GPL Notes are surrendered due to a judgment entered into against GPL and its related parties on May 2, 2023 in case captioned SEC v. GPL Ventures et al., 21 Civ. 6814 (S.D.N.Y.). The judgment requires GPL to surrender to the respective issuers all unconverted convertible notes in their entirety associated with certain issuers identified in an appendix to the judgment. Upon the surrender of the GPL Notes, such Notes were cancelled on the books and records of the Company.
