NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

We lease approximately 12,775 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $23,115, pursuant to a lease that expired in October 2019 and was then extended at a monthly rent of $25,754 to December 31, 2023. In addition to monthly rent, the lease includes payment for certain common area costs. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense for this office space was $69,344 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000, pursuant to a lease that expired on September 1, 2019 and was extended to August 31, 2021. Beginning on June 12, 2015, FTI leased additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet, also located in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, and the lease was extended to August 31, 2021. In addition to monthly rent, the lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment for certain common area costs. These facilities are covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe them to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense related to these leases was approximately $32,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

We lease one corporate housing facility primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired September 4, 2019 and was extended to September 4, 2020. Rent expense related to this lease was $2,304 and $2,561 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we used discount rates of 4.0% and 2.8% in determining our operating lease liabilities for the office spaces in San Diego, California, and South Korea, respectively. These rates represented our incremental borrowing rates at that time. Short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are not capitalized.

Litigation

 

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any material adverse outcome.

 

We entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Anydata Corp. (“Anydata”) for the product ACT233F Smart Link OBD device on May 5, 2017, for a minimum purchase commitment of 250,000 units, which is associated with Anydata’s irrevocable purchase orders received from its customer. We have delivered approximately 25,000 units and 7,000 units during our second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2018, respectively, and an additional 18,000 units during our first quarter of fiscal 2019. Sales to Anydata were approximately $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. We have received information that Anydata may not be able to fulfill the entire purchase commitment for which parts have already been ordered with our main vendor, Quanta. Management believes that the Company will be able to supply some of the products to another customer and has received personal guarantees from the principals of Anydata. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining purchase commitment unfulfilled by Anydata to the Company was approximately $3.1 million. The total remaining product purchase commitment with Quanta was approximately $1.7 million. We have not recorded a receivable from Anydata, nor a liability owed to Quanta. Management believes that, at this time, a loss contingency is reasonably possible but not estimable as to how much ultimately would be paid to Quanta. As of September 30, 2019, we paid $100,000 for the right to call on inventory and recorded an additional $49,580 as a prepaid expense related to pricing adjustments, which has been agreed with Quanta for other products to ensure demand is met. As of September 30, 2019, there is a reasonable possibility we may incur a loss, however, the amount is not estimable at this time.

 

Change of Control Agreements

 

On September 21, 2009, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.

 

The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control, and the agreement with Mr. Lee calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control.

 

The Board of Directors has approved extension of the Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Kim and Mr. Lee, through September 30, 2021.
