8. 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.  

 

In November 2012, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Joseph Desiderio, signed a promissory note (“Note”) on behalf of the Company in favor of JMJ Financial or its Assignees. The Note provided, among other things, for the right on the part of the Lender to convert part of the debt to stock. Subsequently, the parties have disagreed on the validity and terms of the agreement. The Lender has filed suit in the state court in Dade County, Florida, seeking to enforce the agreement. The Company disputes the Lender’s position on the grounds that (1) the Note contains provisions that violate Florida’s usury laws, (2) there has been no default by Company under the Note, and (3) some provisions of the Note are void and unenforceable. The Company expects the matter to be resolved to its satisfaction. Except as described in the preceding paragraph, to the best knowledge of our management, there are no material litigation matters pending or threatened against us.
