Consultant Litigation

 

In May 2012, the Company issued 112,000 shares of common stock to two consultants. The Company contested the validity of the services provided and initially was able to delay the sale of the contested shares. The Company was not successful in recovering the contested shares. A claim for alleged damages of approximately $362,000 plus costs by one of the consultants as a result of the contesting of the issuance of the shares was filed in the Supreme Court of New York. The claim is for damages on the difference between market price at the time the Company was able to delay the sale of his shares and the market price at the time of the sale of all of his shares. As the result of a judicial decision in New York the consultant received a bond payment of approximately $100,000 that the Company had used to secure a temporary restraining order against the issuance of stock to him. Following hearings at the International Arbitration Tribunal held in New York on May 13-16 the arbitrator ordered (on July 18, 2014) the consultant to pay Tapimmune $ 196,204 plus 9% interest from the date of the award. 

Tax Filings

The Company has not filed income tax returns for several years in certain operating jurisdictions, and may be subject to possible compliance penalties and interest. Management is currently not able to make a reliably measurable provision for possible liability for penalties and interest, if any, at this time, and the Company may be liable for such amounts upon assessment. Penalties and interest, if assessed in the future, will be recorded in the period such amounts are determinable.

The Company granted 250,000 shares to a consultant post restructuring of the Company’s debt, of which the Company issued 150,000 common shares during the period ended September 30, 2014 (Note 10).

In February, 2014, the Company entered into a one year media and investor relations service contract with a consultant. The contract provides for the Company to make a $100,000 payment on signing of the contract (paid) and 200,000 shares of restricted common stock, of which 100,000 were issued immediately and an additional 100,000 restricted common stock within 10 business days upon the Company’s successful listing on NASDAQ or NYSE MKT exchange. The Company determined the fair value of the 100,000 issued shares to be $270,000, which was expensed during the period ended September 30, 2014.
