Commitments and Contingencies | Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to claims, suits and other proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of business that could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, the Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the estimated amount of the loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.

The complaint alleged that the Company and its board of directors followed an inadequate process in evaluating the private placement transaction that the Company completed in November 2023 and that the Company and its board of directors entered into the transaction with an intent to dilute Ault’s ownership stake in the Company. Ault Lending was seeking the following relief from the court: (i) declarations that the defendant directors breached their fiduciary duties; and that Stingray Group and Regalia Ventures aided and abetted those breaches; (ii) rescission of the Company’s sale of shares to Stingray Group and Regalia Ventures; and (iii) damages and attorney’s fees.

On June 21, 2023, Blue Yonder filed a lawsuit claiming damages in the amount of $275,000 with the Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona.

The first milestone payment for $175,000 and was due on July 1, 2024 and was not made. In the event this payment is made, the remaining settlement shall be deemed satisfied.
