NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There are no such matters that are deemed material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, except as disclosed below.


As of December 31, 2020, several law firms have filed shareholder lawsuits, two of which have been consolidated and remain pending, citing, among other things, the Company’s September 25, 2018 press release and the NYSE American delisting proceedings initiated in October 2018 (and overturned in February 2019) and subsequent fall in share price. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on October 11, 2019, which the court denied on January 29, 2021. The Company’s responsive pleading is due on February 15, 2021. The Company denies any and all liability and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. See Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings.


In the U.S., we provide health insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan wherein the Company matches up to 6% of the employee’s pre-tax contribution up to a maximum annual amount determined by the IRS. In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (“Gratuity Plan”) covering certain categories of employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. In addition, employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan. The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary. The contribution is made to the Indian Government’s provident fund.
