COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company accounts for contingencies in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. A liability is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is reasonable possible but not probable, or if the amount cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingency and an estimate of the possible loss, if determinable, is disclosed. Remote contingencies are generally not disclosed unless related to guarantee.

 

Lease Obligations

 

The Company leases property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (‘‘ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options is at our discretion and is included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

 

 

The Company classifies our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.

Employment Agreements

 

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers. As of June 30, 2026, these agreements contain severance benefits ranging from one month to six months if terminated without cause.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In June 2026, a former employee filed a whistleblower retaliation complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), 18 U.S.C. § 1514A. The claimant alleges they were wrongfully terminated after reporting alleged governance and honesty in shareholder relations.

 

The Company is cooperating with OSHA’s ongoing investigation, denies all allegations and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. At this preliminary stage, the outcome is uncertain. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, based on currently available information, management cannot estimate the possible loss or range of loss because such amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
