NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On May 31, 2023, NAI Liquidation Trust, the successor in interest to the defunct NewAge, Inc. by and through its Liquidation Trustee, Steven Balasiano, filed an adversary proceeding against the Company in the Newage Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (Delaware Case #22-10819).  The Company licensed some of its technology to NewAge pursuant to a license agreement that started in September 2021 and terminated in late 2022. A prior adversarial action was brought

by NewAge in the same bankruptcy case but was never served and was dismissed on June 1, 2023. Like the prior dismissed action, NAI Liquidation Trust contends that they are the rightful owner of KwikClick’s intellectual property.  NAI Liquidation Trust brings several causes of action related to that contention.

 

The Company believes that the code base and functionality of its software platform differs materially from any intellectual property owned by NewAge.  The Company intends to vigorously defend and assert its intellectual property rights.  In the event the Company does not prevail it may be required to impair substantially all of its intangible assets with a carrying value of approximately $1.4 million at June 30, 2023 and may be forced to discontinue its on-going fee-based sales platform. The litigation is in its early stages, an estimate of reasonably possible loss cannot be made at this time.  As such, there has been no further adjustment to the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
