Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Consulting Agreement – The Company entered into a consulting agreement effective June 1, 2021, with a company owned by Mr. Dab, the Company’s former CEO, for a period of one year to assist in developing the Company’s business including communications with existing shareholders and the general public. The agreement provided that the Company would pay $3,500 a month and an additional $60,000 upon the earlier of receipt of funding from an outside source or within 90 days. The $60,000 payment was made during the six months ended June 30, 2023 but the monthly amounts have not been paid. On June 1, 2022, the agreement was extended for another year. The new agreement increases the monthly fee to $4,500. The agreement was extended further on June 1, 2023 for another year. The monthly amounts remain unpaid by the Company to date. The amounts payable to Mr. Dab under this agreement include the fees payable to him as a director of the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally low due to the nature of the customers comprising the customer base and the significant related party component. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. However, the Company continually monitors and evaluates its client acceptance and collection procedures to minimize potential credit risks associated with its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company maintains its cash balances in high-credit-quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash balances may, at times, exceed the deposit insurance limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Guarantees

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed debt obligations of their former Parent. As part of the transaction with the Company, the former Parent received a release of guarantees from certain institutional lenders and has been working to settle other debt obligations where certain subsidiaries of the Company remain a guarantor. The Company believes that any risk associated with previous guarantees is now minimal and immaterial.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings related to contractual disputes, employment matters, regulatory and compliance matters, intellectual property rights and other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company operates in a highly regulated industry which may inherently lend itself to legal matters. Management is aware that litigation has associated costs and that results of adverse litigation verdicts could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, has addressed known assertions and predicted unasserted claims below.
