5. Legal Proceedings

From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of December 31, 2021, there were no legal claims pending or threatened against the Company that, in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as of the date of this filing, we were involved in the following legal proceedings.

 

On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the matter of Hannan vs. Sugarmade. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the plaintiffs $227,000 to settle all claims against the Company, which included the payoff of two notes outstanding. The parties had estimated the value of the notes at approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2020, third parties had purchased two (2) notes of approximately $80,000. As of December 31, 2021, there remains a balance, plus accrued interest on the $227,000 and on the $80,000 due under the notes.

 

There can be no assurances the ultimate liability relative to these lawsuits will not exceed what is outlined above.
