Legal Proceedings |
Note 7 - Legal Proceedings On May 25, 2011, a complaint for monetary damages was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The complaint does not specify the amount claimed, other than stating that it is more than $75,000 which is the jurisdictional amount of the court in which the complaint was filed. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to estimate the possible loss or the range of possible loss, due to the current stage of the litigation, the uncertainties associated with the claim and the fact that the complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims in this complaint and intends to vigorously defend itself; however, the ultimate resolution of this complaint is uncertain at this time. A trial has been scheduled for January 6, 2014. On October 25, 2011, Mercedes Walton, the Company’s former chief executive officer, filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. See Note 6. In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, contract disputes and other claims in the normal course of its business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of current matters should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. It is possible, however, that there could be an unfavorable ultimate outcome for or resolution which could be material to the Company’s results of operations for a particular quarterly reporting period. Litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail. The Company does not include an estimate of legal fees and other related defense costs in its estimate of loss contingencies. |
