Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]

8.     Commitment and Contingencies – Please refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K for a description of our commitments and contingencies.


Legal Matters – On April 2, 2013, ChemFree received a letter from Clearwater Environmental Services (“CES”) regarding a claim for additional sales commission that CES alleges is owed to it pursuant to a sales agreement between CES and ChemFree that expired October 31, 2012. On April 8, 2013, ChemFree sent a letter in reply to CES disputing its claim. The company believes that all amounts due to CES have been paid in full in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement and intends to vigorously defend against this claim. ChemFree has initiated arbitration proceedings as required under the contract. While management believes it will prevail in the matter, there can be no assurance of the outcome of the dispute.


In the ordinary course of business, from time to time we may be involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.
