Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
NOTE 16 - Commitments and contingencies | Office Space Rental On May 1, 2009, we entered into a lease for 1,800 square feet of office space in Santa Barbara, California for use as our executive offices. This lease was amended on July 21, 2009 and expired on December 31, 2013 with a three-year renewal term available at an initial rent plus common area charges of $5,767 per month. This property was vacated in August 2012 and the Company has recorded a liability of $139,000 to cover unpaid rent and the present value of rents due for the remainder of the lease term. During 2013, a settlement amount of $110,700 was negotiated with the lease holder and transferred to a third party, resulting in a reduction of the accrued liability of $139,150. On August 1, 2011, we entered into a lease for 7,000 square feet of office space in Los Angeles, California. The lease continues through November 30, 2014. Initially, the lease had a fixed monthly rent of $19,326 and was subject to annual increases of 3%. The Company was not required to pay a fixed monthly rent for months two through five. Prior to this, the Company was leasing the same office space on a month-to-month basis. This property was vacated in April 2012 and the Company recorded a liability of $892,000 to cover unpaid rent and the present value of rents due for the remainder of the lease term. As of April 2013, this space was released, but the terms and conditions of the new lease are unknown, so the Company did not adjust the accrued liability. On November 1, 2011, we entered into a lease for 3,000 square feet of office space in Santa Barbara, California for use by our operating units. This lease expires on October 31, 2014 with two additional three-year renewal terms available. The initial rent plus common area charges were $7,157 per month. This property was vacated in June 2012 and the Company recorded a liability of $229,000 to cover unpaid rent and the present value of rents due for the remainder of the lease term. As of June 2013, this space was released, but the terms and conditions of the new lease are unknown, so the Company did not adjust the accrued liability. From May 2012 to May 2013, the Company was in a month-to-month lease for office space in Los Angeles, California. Rent for this facility was $2,300 per month. Given reductions in staff, the Company is now operating with a “virtual office.” The Company believes this virtual office structure is adequate for our current needs and suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed. Contractual Obligations Set forth below is information concerning our known contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 that are fixed and determinable by year starting with the year ending December 31, 2014.

Employment Agreements Effective June 28, 2012, Jerold Rubinstein was elected by the Board as Chairman of the Board, CEO and a director of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of PEI also elected him as Chairman of the Board and CEO of PEI.

This executive was granted options to purchase 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.35 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of option grant. These options vest monthly over a 12-month period. In the event the Company does not renew the second six month period, the executive resigns or the Company terminates the executive’s employment without cause, all options will immediately vest and the executive will receive all unpaid salary for the full 12 month period. In March 2013, Mr. Rubinstein received an option grant to purchase 25,000,000 shares at $0.03 with a five-year life and vesting occurring in the three months ended June 30, 2013.

On August 8, 2011, the Company entered into any employment contract with Timothy Boris as the Company’s General Counsel and Vice President of Legal Affairs at an annual salary of $180,000. In December 2011 received options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.54 that had 100,000 shares vested upon grant, 100,000 shares vested at the end of year one and 100,000 shares vest at the end of year two. This contract expired on August 8, 2012 and was renewed under the same terms until August 8, 2013. In August 2012 Mr. Boris received options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.38 that had 100,000 shares vest upon grant, 100,000 shares vest at the end of year one and 100,000 shares vest at the end of year two. Both of these option grants have a five-year life. In March 2013, Mr. Boris received an option grant to purchase 6,000,000 shares at $0.03 with a five-year life and vesting occurring in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Mr. Boris’s contract expired on August 8, 2013 and he is currently working without a contract. As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Boris was owed unpaid salary of $75,000. On November 1, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with John Moynahan, who provided accounting and financial services to the Company as a consultant pursuant to a consulting agreement dated November 14, 2007. Under the agreement, Mr. Moynahan was to receive an annual salary of $220,000 for the first year of the contract, subject to an annual increase of the Consumer Price Index plus 2%, and will be eligible for a $50,000 bonus in the first year of this contract. Under this agreement, Mr. Moynahan received a grant of 300,000 shares and a five-year stock option grant to purchase 15,600 shares of common stock at $200.00 per share, with 10,400 shares that vested upon the signing of the agreement and 5,200 shares that vested on September 1, 2011. The strike price on these options was adjusted to $54.00 in December 2011 by the Board. After a review of this contract during 2012, the Company determined that the non-salary amounts due to Mr. Moynahan were $156,358 as of December 31, 2012. Mr. Moynahan’s contract expired on August 1, 2012 and he is currently working without a contract. As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Moynahan was owed the $156,358 under his employment contract and $87,083 in unpaid salary, not including any other claims that Mr. Moynahan may have under his employment contract or otherwise. On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an employment contract with William Kelly, the Company’s former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ProElite, and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company whose employment was terminated in March 2013. In connection with Mr. Kelly’s employment, the Company assumed a promissory note of $231,525 formerly owed to Mr. Kelly by ProElite, Inc. and agreed to pay the promissory note with $121,525 payable to Mr. Kelly upon the closing of the acquisition of ProElite by the Company, $55,000 due 90 days after the closing of the acquisition, and $55,000 due 180 days after the closing of the acquisition. In 2011, $176,525 of these amounts were paid to Mr. Kelly. During 2013, this $55,000 obligation to Mr. Kelly was transferred to a third party. Consulting Agreement On June 28, 2012, Paul Feller, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and CEO, resigned from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, including PEI. In connection therewith, pursuant to a Separation and Release Agreement, the Company and Mr. Feller entered into a new Consulting Agreement for a term of two years at an annual compensation of $250,000, As of December 31, 2013, the Company had recorded an accrued expense of $375,000 pursuant to Mr. Feller’s consulting agreement that provides for $62,500 per quarter through June 30, 2014. These consulting payments were conditioned on the Company raising $2,000,000 of equity and that Mr. Feller provide consulting services under this agreement at the direction of the Company’s board of directors. Given that the Company has not raised this amount of equity and given that Mr. Feller has not provided any consulting services to the Company, the Company elected to reverse this accrued expense.
