CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

NOTE 9 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2024, there are no such legal proceedings.

 

Contract Contingencies

 

The Company has the customary obligation for the completion of its cellular provider contracts in accordance with the appropriate standards of the industry and that may be provided in the contractual agreements.

 

The Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Excess Telecom includes the right to distribute Lifeline services under the IM Telecom license. The completion of the sale of IM Telecom is contingent upon approval of the sale by the FCC, as IM Telecom is the holder of a Lifeline license and is designated as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”) for purposes of marketing Lifeline services to low-income consumers.

 

Regulatory Determinations

 

The Company has no outstanding regulatory determinations as of December 31, 2024.

 

Tax Audits

 

In June of 2021, the Company received an audit determination and assessment from the State of Pennsylvania related to sales and use tax for the audit period of January 1, 2016, through September 30, 2019. The assessment was in the amount of $115,000, including interest and penalties calculated on sales made inside and outside Pennsylvania. The Company recorded the full amount of this assessment in 2022. The Company appealed the assessment in August, 2021, and at the request of the state, provided additional information to support its appeal. The Company’s position is that Pennsylvania has no sales tax authority to levy and collect sales tax on sales made outside of Pennsylvania. The State of Pennsylvania rejected an appeal by the Company. On November 6, 2023, the Company agreed to a payment plan with the State of Pennsylvania. The Company will pay $5,500 per month, over a twenty-four (24) month period, which commenced in December, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has paid $71,500.
