Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | NOTE D – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2018 we entered into a services agreement with and continue to provide services to a deep-sea mineral exploration company, CIC, which was organized and is majority owned and controlled by Greg Stemm, the past Chairman of the Board for Odyssey. Mr. Stemm’s involvement with this company was disclosed to, and approved by, the Odyssey Board of Directors and legal counsel pursuant to the terms of his consulting agreement. We are providing these services pursuant to a Master Services Agreement that provides for back office services in exchange for a recurring monthly fee as well as other mineral related services on a cost-plus profit basis and will be compensated for these services with a combination of cash and equity in CIC. For the 2020 year to date, we invoiced CIC a total of $547,274, which was for back office technical and support services. We have the option to accept equity in payment of the amounts due from CIC. See NOTE C for related accounts receivable at Septem b er 30, 2020 and NOTE F for our investment in an unconsolidated entity. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we received an earnest money deposit of $450,000 from a company controlled by Greg Stemm, our past Chairman of the Board. The earnest money deposit relates to a draft agreement related to potential sell of a stake of our equity in CIC. As of this report date, this transaction has not been consummated. The deposit is included in accrued expenses and other in our statement of consolidated balance sheets. The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.
