11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. In addition, from time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against the Company in the form of letters and other forms of communication. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position and brand.  

 

The Company was an interpleader party to a lawsuit in the Southern District of Georgia, Savannah Division, pursuant to which the Comapny sought to prevent the release of 100,000 shares of its Common Stock to a third-party and asked the court to return those shares to the Company.   During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 the Company elected to relinquish claim to the shares and the matter was dismissed.

 

The Company was a defendant in a suit brought by one if its suppliers.  The Company has defended the claim alleging that the vendor failed to deliver the goods and services contracted for.  Subsequent to June 30, 2012, a tentative settlement agreement has been negotiated pursuant to which, if executed, will result in the Company paying the vendor approximately $75,000 in equal payments, without interest, over a period of eighteen months.

 

Except as described in the preceding paragraph, to the best knowledge of the Company’s management, at June 30, 2012, there are no legal proceedings which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
