LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, balance sheet, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company learned that a class action complaint (the "Class Action Complaint") had been filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Class Action Complaint alleges, inter alia, that defendants violated the federal securities laws by, among other things, failing to disclose that the Company was engaged in an unlawful scheme to promote its stock. The Company has been served with the Class Action Complaint. The Company has analyzed the Class Action Complaint and, based on that analysis, has concluded that it is legally deficient and otherwise without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.
Also during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company learned that two derivative complaints (the "Derivative Complaints") on behalf of the Company have been filed against the Company's Directors and Chief Executive Officer, President, Corporate Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer, and nominally against the Company, in Nevada state and federal court. The state court action subsequently was removed to federal court. The Derivative Complaints allege, inter alia, that the Company's officers and directors directed the Company to undertake an unlawful scheme to promote its stock. The Company has been served with the Derivative Complaints. The Company has analyzed them and, based on its analysis, has concluded that the Derivative Complaints are legally deficient and otherwise without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.
Subsequent to the year end, on August 7, 2018, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey dismissed the Class Action Complaint. Additionally, subsequent to the year end on August 21, 2018, the Company was served with the Second Amended Complaint in the District of New Jersey. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on September 18, 2018. Also after year end, the company was served with a third derivative action, was filed March 23, 2018, against the Company's Directors and Chief Executive Officer, President, and Corporate Secretary, and nominally against the Company, in Nevada state court. Subsequently, this case was removed to federal court.
