Commitments and Contingencies

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020 other than the below:

Patent Contribution Agreement

On May 4, 2021, Next Generation Labs, LLC (“Next Generation”) notified the Company that a “reversion event” had occurred under that certain Patent Contribution Agreement, dated September 28, 2020 (the “Patent Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Patent Contribution Agreement, Next Generation agreed to contribute certain patents, patent applications, and patent data, described on Exhibit “A” of the Patent Contribution Agreement (the “Patents”), to the Company and the Company would subsequently transfer the Patents to Kaival Labs.

Pursuant to the Patent Contribution Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Next Generation a purchase price of $3 million for the Patents (the “Purchase Price”), which was expected to be paid over-time upon two events. First, the Company expected to pay part of the Purchase Price from proceeds generated from a future securities offering (the “Offering Payment”). Additionally, on the first date that Kaival Labs sold a product that was developed using any portion of the Patents or based on the Patents, the Company agreed to pay Next Generation the difference between the Purchase Price and the Offering Payment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Patent Contribution Agreement, the parties agreed that the Company would file a Form 1-A offering statement no later than January 31, 2021, unless extended in writing by the Company in good faith to no later than March 15, 2021 (the “Filing Date”). The Patent Contribution Agreement further provided that in the event the Company or Kaival Labs materially breached the terms of the Patent Contribution Agreement and the material breach is not cured within fifteen (15) business days after Next Generation provides written notice of such material breach, then a reversion event would occur, and the Patents would revert from Kaival Labs to Next Generation.

The Company did not undertake a securities offering by filing a Form 1-A offering statement by the Filing Date. The Company attempted to negotiate an amendment to the Patent Contribution Agreement, which would allow the Company additional time to undertake a securities offering. However, on April 8, 2021, Next Generation notified the Company that it was in material breach of the Patent Contribution Agreement and that the Company would have fifteen (15) business days, or April 30, 2021, to cure such breach. Ultimately, the Company decided not to cure such breach within the requisite time and, on May 4, 2021, Next Generation notified the Company that a reversion event occurred.

The Company has completed the process of completing the necessary documentation to transfer the Patents from Kaival Labs to Next Generation. Neither the Company, nor Kaival Labs, has developed or otherwise relied on the Patents to date and does not expect the reversion of the Patents to materially affect the Company’s business.

On May 28, 2020, the Board approved cash bonus awards to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer. With respect to the Chief Executive Officer, the Board approved a cash bonus award equal to $30,000 for every $25 million in gross revenues generated by the Company. With respect to the Chief Operating Officer, the Board approved a cash bonus award equal to $20,000 for every $25 million in gross revenues generated by the Company. On May 28, 2020, the Board also approved an equity bonus award for each of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer. With respect to the Chief Executive Officer, the Board approved an award of 7,500 restricted shares of the Common Stock for every $50 million in accumulated gross revenues generated by the Company. With respect to the Chief Operating Officer, the Board approved an award of 6,250 restricted shares of the Common Stock for every $50 million in accumulated gross revenues generated by the Company. The Company’s accumulated gross revenues will be evaluated on a quarterly basis, beginning with the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. At October 31, 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of the equity bonus shares, or $165,000, should be accrued as it was deemed likely that the $50 million revenue target would be met. The Company issued these shares to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Office on January 1, 2021. During the quarter ended January 31, 2021, the $75 million and $100 million accumulated revenue targets were both achieved and the Company determined that the fair market value of the 13,750 shares, or $70,785, and the cash bonuses totaling $100,000 should be accrued at January 31, 2021.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 additional revenue targets were not achieved and no related bonuses were accrued.

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a service agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with QuikfillRx LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“QuikfillRx”), whereby QuikfillRx provides the Company with certain services and support relating to sales management, website development and design, graphics, content, public communication, social media, management and analytics, and market and other research (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are provided by QuikfillRx as requested from time to time by the Company.

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Service Agreement (the “First Amendment” and, collectively with the Service Agreement, the “Amended Service Agreement”) with QuikfillRx. Effective as of March 16, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Service Agreement (the “Second Amendment” and, collectively with the Amended Service Agreement, the “Further Amended Service Agreement”) with QuikfillRx. Pursuant to the terms of the Further Amended Service Agreement, the parties agreed to the following “General Compensation” payments: (i) for the Services provided in March 2020, the Company paid QuikfillRx an amount equal to $86,000; (ii) for the Services provided in April 2020, the Company paid QuikfillRx an amount equal to $100,000; (iii) each calendar month commencing May 2020 through October 2020, the Company paid QuikfillRx an amount equal to $125,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month; (iv) for each calendar month between November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021, the Company will pay QuikfillRx $125,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month; (iv) if the parties agree to extend the term of the Further Amended Service Agreement beyond October 31, 2021, then for the period between November 1, 2021 and October 31, 2022, the Company will pay QuikfillRx $150,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month; and (v) if the parties agree to extend the term of the Further Amended Service Agreement beyond October 31, 2022, then for the period between November 1, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company will pay QuikfillRx $150,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month. In addition, the Company will pay the following quarterly bonuses:

● An amount equal to 0.9% of the Applicable Gross Quarterly Sales (as defined in the Amended Service Agreement), which amount shall, at the Company’s option be paid in (a) cash or (b) shares of the Company’s common stock, or (c) a combination of cash and Common Stock.

● An amount equal to 0.27% of the Applicable Gross Quarterly Sales, which amount must be paid in cash.

The Company has accrued $40,283 for a quarterly bonus payable to QuikfillRx, based on the Applicable Gross Quarterly Sales results of the three months ended July 31, 2021.
