NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation  From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company is a party to legal proceedings. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but, due to the nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome of any potential actions cannot presently be determined.

 

Grape Purchases - The Company has entered into three long-term grape purchase agreements with one of its Willamette Valley wine grape growers. These contracts, entered into in 2004, 2006 and 2007, were extended through harvest year 2019. With these contracts, the Company is obligated to purchase, at pre-determined prices, 100% of the crop produced within the strict quality standards and crop loads, equating to maximum payments of approximately $1,500,000 per year. The Company cannot calculate the minimum payment as such a calculation is dependent in large part on an unknown – the amount of grapes produced that meet the strict quality standards in any given year. If no grapes are produced that meet the contractual quality levels, the grapes may be refused and no payment would be due.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement – In May 2017 the Company agreed to buy the assets of an existing Company for approximately $142,000. The purchase is scheduled to close in January 2018 and the Company will also assume two contracts.
