Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES *Legal Proceedings* The Company from time to time is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of its business in the ordinary course. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. *Acquisition-Related Contingencies* In October 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it acquired a 25% equity interest in 561 LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, in May 2018, the Company increased its cumulative equity interest in 561 LLC to 40% in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the sellers would be entitled to an additional 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock if/when both of the following conditions have been met: (a) one year has passed from the Closing Date and (b) the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per share, as reported by OTC Markets. In accordance with GAAP, the Company has not recorded a liability in connection with this contingency. In October 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it acquired a 25% equity interest in America Approved Commercial LLC (“AAC”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, in May 2018, the Company increased its cumulative equity interest in AAC to 40% in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the sellers would be entitled to an additional 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in/when both of the following conditions have been met: (a) one year has passed from the Closing Date and (b) the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $5.00 per share, as reported by OTC Markets. In accordance with GAAP, the Company has not recorded a liability in connection with this contingency. As of September 16, 2019, the Company and 212 Technologies, LLC (“212 Technologies”) entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties: (i) rescinded a certain “Stakeholder & Investment Agreement” dated May 21, 2017 (resulting in the return of 5,628,750 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock by 212 Technologies and the return of a 24% ownership stake in 212 Technologies by the Company) and (ii) terminated a certain “Software License Agreement” dated June 12, 2018 (the “SLA”) by and between 212 Technologies and Elepreneurs, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Elepreneurs”). In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Elepreneurs agreed to pay 212 Technologies the amount of $425,000 and to dismiss with prejudice a lawsuit it had previously filed concerning the functionality of the mobile application produced by 212 Technologies under the SLA, and the parties reached mutually accommodating terms and resolved all issues between their respective companies. As of the date hereof, the shares returned by 212 Technologies remain outstanding and are held under the terms of a custodian agreement for the benefit of the Company. *Other Matters* In January 2019, the Company became aware of an unliquidated amount of potential liability arising from a series of cash advance loan transactions (the “Loan Transactions”) entered into by eight different lending sources and a Related Party entity (the “debtor entity”) owned and/or controlled by a former Company officer. Without the knowledge of the Company and in contravention of the express provisions of both the Company’s Bylaws and the controlling Nevada Revised Statutes, this former officer also purported to obligate the Company (and two of the Company’s affiliates) to repay the amounts owed by the debtor entities under the Loan Transactions. At this time, the Company has resolved all of the debt associated with the Loan Transactions at a substantial discount from the amounts alleged by the holders of such debt. Additionally, the Company has entered into a comprehensive agreement, secured by substantial assets, with the former officer and the entity owned and/or controlled by the former officer. Pursuant to such agreement, the former officer and the entity owned and controlled by such former officer are obligated jointly and severally to repay the Company all sums expended by the Company in the resolution of the Loan Transactions. The amount expended by the Company, in connection with such resolution, is the sum of $3.4 million. The Company has recorded an accounts receivable of $3.4 million from the former officer and the entity owned and/or controlled by the former officer. This amount is reported in accounts receivable, related party in our consolidated balance sheet. In June 2019, the Company became aware of a potential liability arising out of certain previous transactions involving the formation and capitalization of two legal entities affiliated with a Company consultant who was, at the time, considered the Company spokesperson. Without the knowledge of the Company and in contravention of the express provisions of both the Company’s Bylaws and the controlling Nevada Revised Statutes, this Company consultant purportedly solicited investment funds from various persons, who at the time, were independent contractors of the Company. While this matter is still currently under investigation, the Company has reason to believe that this Company consultant, possibly acting in concert with others, sought to leverage the assets and resources of the Company in furtherance of these ventures, to their personal pecuniary benefit. Upon learning of these allegations from various of these investors, the Company launched an immediate internal investigation into these transactions. In addition, the Company secured the services of a Dallas-based law firm with experience in financial impropriety and forensic investigations to assist in that process. The Company believes that it is probable that these actions have resulted in a material loss to the investing parties and is evaluating the potential exposure of these events to the Company. The Company is continuing to finalize its evaluation and to pursue settlements with the impacted investing parties. On July 26, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Company co-founder and former consultant Robert Oblon. Pursuant to the Agreement and in compromise of a dispute concerning a prior contractual obligation and various competing claims, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Oblon the aggregate amount of $2.2 million, payable in 96 equal semi-monthly installments, and stock warrants to purchase up to 7.0 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to limiting conditions. On August 30, 2019, the Company ceased making the installment payments and filed a lawsuit against Mr. Oblon claiming, among other things, Mr. Oblon’s breach of contract related to this Agreement, as further discussed below. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, the Company made payments under the Agreement of $0.0 and $235,000, respectively. The Company has recognized an estimated settlement liability of $2.9 million in connection with the Agreement. Please see Note 17 below. On March 28, 2019, Elepreneur, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Jordan Brock, a co-founder and former officer of the Company, entered into a Founder Consulting Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Brock agreed to provide certain business consulting services to the Company. Under the terms of the Founder Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Brock a consultancy fee at the rate of $15,000 per month. Effective as of July 15, 2019, the Company and Mr. Brock amended the Founder Consulting Agreement which resulted in the increase of the consultancy fee to $37,000 per month in exchange for Mr. Brock’s willingness to forgo significant previously negotiated income-earning opportunities with the Company. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, the Company made payments under the Founder Consulting Agreement of $111,000 and $248,500, respectively. In July 2019, Pruvit Ventures, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Elevacity U.S., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, alleging breach of contract by Elevacity. Elevacity has denied the Plaintiff’s claim. Discovery was propounded on the Plaintiff specifically related to the alleged act of wrong-doing, responses were received by the Company on December 6, 2019 and the Company is currently evaluating the responses. In August 2019, Entrepreneur Media, Inc. (“EMI”) notified the Company that EMI believes that the Company’s pending trademark application for “Elepreneurs” would confuse consumers due to the purported similarity to EMI’s existing trademark for the word “Entrepreneur.” The Company believes that this claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its trademark application. EMI has reached out to the Company and the parties are now engaged in dialogue intended to achieve a possible amicable resolution. In August 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Collin County, Texas against Kenyatto M. Jones, Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc. and Research and Referral, BZ for breach of contract, statutory fraud in a stock transaction, and violations of the Texas Securities Act. The three defendants purport to be beneficial owners of shares of the Company’s equity securities, which purported ownership is the subject of the referenced lawsuit. The relief sought in the lawsuit includes both recovery of damages and rescission of the underlying shares of the Company’s equity securities. Defendants Bear Bull and Jones filed a Motion to Transfer the complaint in September 2019. A hearing on the Defendants’ Motion to Transfer has been set for April 2, 2020. On August 30, 2019, the Company and certain of its affiliated entities filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Collin County, Texas against Company co-founder and former consultant, Robert Oblon. The lawsuit claims breach of contract related to the Settlement Agreement dated July 26, 2019 discussed above, tortious interference with business relationships, and misappropriation of trade secrets, and sought injunctive relief. The Company and such affiliated entities filed an amended petition in September 2019 and were awarded temporary injunctive relief protecting their intellectual property. The Company and such affiliated entities filed a second amended petition in December 2019 and were awarded injunctive relief requiring the turnover of certain intellectual and other property to the Company. Please see Note 17 below. On October 1, 2019, the Company filed a complaint in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada entitled Sharing Services Global Corporation v. Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc., Alchemist Holdings, LLC, Kenyatto M. Jones, et al. The lawsuit asserts that the Certificate of Designation for its Series B Preferred Stock filed on or about April 24, 2017 (the “Defective Certificate”) was in contravention of both the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that the Defective Certificate was improperly approved through the self-dealing actions of certain former Company executives, working in collusion with outside shareholders. The lawsuit seeks relief in the form of an injunction enjoining the defendants from attempting to enforce the provisions of the Defective Certificate and a declaratory judgment that will invalidate the improper portions of the Defective Certificate. The lawsuit also requests declaratory judgment relief regarding the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation filed by the Company on or about September 26, 2019 (the “Amended Certificate”) which seeks to correct the improper provisions of the Defective Certificate and to properly realign the rights of the shareholders which were improperly diminished by the terms of the Defective Certificate. The District Court of Clark County issued a default judgment against Defendant Bear Bull Market Dividends, Inc. on November 14, 2019 and against Defendant Kenyatto M. Jones on November 15, 2019. The Company is in negotiations with Defendant Alchemist Holdings, LLC and anticipates that a favorable outcome will be reached in connection with those negotiations.
