4.       DEFERRED COMPENSATION:

 

The Company owes deferred compensation to various employees, former employees and consultants totaling $1,173,237 and $890,223 as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Included in the deferred compensation balances as of June 30, 2025, are $367,500, $12,306 and $83,964 owed William O’Neill (“O’Neill”), the Company’s former CEO (until May 31, 2024), the estate/heirs of Dominic Bassani (“Bassani”), the Company’s recently deceased former Chief Operating Officer (who was Chief Executive Officer until through April 30, 2022) (NOTE: Dominic Bassani passed away on November 11, 2023.), and Mark A. Smith (“Smith”), the Company’s recently retired President, respectively.

 

The sums owed to Bassani and Smith are owed pursuant to extension agreements effective January 1, 2015, whereby unpaid compensation earned after January 1, 2015, accrues interest at 4% per annum and can be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the employee during the first five calendar days of any month. The conversion price shall be the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the last 10 trading days of the immediately preceding month. The deferred compensation owed Bassani and Smith as of June 30, 2025 was $12,306 and $83,964, respectively.

 

O’Neill is owed a balance of $367,500 and $367,500 at June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, pursuant to his 2021 employment agreement. There is no interest accrual or conversion rights related to the deferred balance. O’Neill terminated his service to the Company prior to the full term of his agreement.

 

The Company owes deferred compensation to Craig Scott of $330,046 and $160,133 at June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, with similar conversion terms as those described above for Bassani and Smith, with the exception that the interest accrues at 0% to 3% per annum.

 

The Company also owes various consultants and employees, pursuant to various agreements, for deferred compensation of $306,920 and $202,509 as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, with similar conversion terms as those described above for Bassani and Smith, with the exception that the interest accrues at 0% to 3% per annum. The Company also owes a former employee $72,500, which is not convertible and is non-interest bearing.

 

Bassani and Smith have each been granted the right to convert up to $300,000 of deferred compensation balances at a price of $0.75 per share until September 15, 2025, into common shares (to be issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan). Smith also has the right to convert all or part of his deferred compensation balance into the Company’s securities (to be issued pursuant to the 2006 Plan) “at market” and/or on the same terms as the Company is selling or has sold its securities in its then current (or most recent if there is no current) private placement. Smith also received the right to transfer future deferred compensation to his 2020 Convertible Obligation at his election but such right is no longer in force.

  

The Company recorded interest expense of $15,764 ($10,131 with related parties) and $30,379 ($25,893 with related parties) for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
