Commitments and Contingencies

Notes Payable

 

In August 2018, the Company entered into a note payable with a shareholder to repurchase common and preferred shares. The note was an interest-free, six-month note for CAD $122,400 with payment terms of six equal installments of CAD $20,400. This note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Stock Price Guarantee

 

In connection with one of the Company’s advance royalties with a client, the Company guaranteed that shares of its common stock issued as royalties would sell for at least $60.00 per share.  If the shares were not at the required $60.00 per share when they were sold, the Company had the option of issuing additional shares at their fair value or making cash payments for the difference between the guaranteed price per share and the fair value of the stock.  The change in fair value of the guarantee was ($4,329) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company would have disputed this obligation if demanded by the client; further, pursuing any action by the client was required to be commenced within six years of the time of the original issuance and the Company believes the time for pursuing an action expired in 2019. As a result of the expiration, the Company eliminated this obligation from its consolidated balance sheet and recorded $880,553 in other income during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Legal Matters

 

In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation. As of June 30, 2020, in the opinion of management, the Company had no pending litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Indemnities and Guarantees

 

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreements. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
