COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In the normal course of business, we are subject to the effects of certain contractual stipulations, events, transactions, and laws and regulations that may, at times, require the recognition of liabilities. We establish estimated liabilities when the associated costs related to uncertainties or guarantees become probable and can be reasonably estimated. For the period ended May 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to our estimated liabilities from those reported in the Commitments and Contingencies note of the condensed consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-Q.

 

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation and Claims

 

On October 8, 2021, a filing (the “Filing”) was made with the Kuala Lumpur High Court by a reseller (the “Reseller”) of the Company’s INCU ionic nano copper solution (the “Solution”) and the Reseller’s related party (together with the Reseller, the “Plaintiffs”).

 

 

The Reseller was authorized by WKL Eco Earth’s sole distributor of the Solution (the “WKL Distributor”) to resell the Solution together with a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml through a tripartite agreement (the “Tripartite Agreement”) entered into between (a) the Reseller, (b) the WKL Distributor and (c) a solution packaging company (the “Packaging Company”). WKL Eco Earth was not a party to the Tripartite Agreement and did not directly authorize or engage the Reseller in the resale of the Solution.

 

In the Filing, the Plaintiffs claimed against (i) WKL Eco Earth; (ii) Dr. Low; (iii) Chan Kok Wei, (iv) the Packaging Company and (v) two directors of the Packaging Company for loss and damages arising from an alleged breach of contract, defamation and tort of inducement. The Plaintiffs also alleged that pursuant to the Tripartite Agreement, WKL Eco Earth was prohibited from selling the Solution to any party other than the WKL Distributor and allow for the resale of the Solution by the Plaintiffs without limitation, and that the Plaintiffs were not confined in their resale of the Solution to a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml.

 

On April 9, 2024, a notice of withdrawal was filed with the Kuala Lumpur High Court, whereby it was agreed upon both the Reseller and the Company that the Reseller withdraws their claims in the Filing without liberty to file afresh and with no order as to costs, and that the Company withdraws its counterclaim against the Reseller without liberty to file afresh and with no order as to costs.

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. The outcome of the above case very much depends on the evidence produced and the weight of the Court places on the evidence. As it stands, WKL has a probability of success in its Counterclaim against the parties. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
