Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

 

If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 20, 2019, Inpixon, the Company and Atlas Technology Group, LLC (“Atlas”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in connection with the satisfaction of an arbitration award in an aggregate amount of $1,156,840 plus pre-judgment interest equal to an aggregate of $59,955 (the “Award”) granted to Atlas following arbitration proceedings arising out of an engagement agreement, dated September 8, 2016, by and between Atlas and Inpixon as well as its subsidiaries, including the predecessor to the Company (the “Engagement Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Atlas agreed to (a) reduce the Award by $275,000 resulting in a net award of $941,795 (the “Net Award”) and (b) accept an aggregate of 749,440 shares of freely-tradable common stock of Inpixon (the “Settlement Shares”), in satisfaction of the Award, which was determined by dividing 120% of the Net Award by $1.508, which was the “minimum price,” as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), of Inpixon’s common stock. The closing occurred on February 21, 2019.

  

The Award is deemed satisfied in full and the parties are deemed to have released each other from any claims arising out of the Engagement Agreement.

 

In connection with the Spin-off, the Company and Inpixon each agreed pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated August 7, 2018, as amended, that 50% of the costs and liabilities related to the arbitration action arising from the Engagement Agreement would be shared by each party following the spin-off. As a result, the Company is obligated to indemnify Inpixon for half of the total amount paid by Inpixon to satisfy the Award.

 

In the event that the total net proceeds received by Atlas or its designees from the sale of the Settlement Shares (exclusive of brokerage fees) exceeds the amount of the Net Award, Atlas agreed to deliver an amount equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and the Net Award to the legal counsel for Inpixon and the Company to be applied against fees incurred in connection with the arbitration and the Settlement Agreement.

 

The Company has reclassified its obligation of $565,081 in its financial statements from Accounts Payable at December 31, 2018 to Related Party Note, as of February 28, 2019.
