Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Oswald & Yap
On November 24, 2004, Oswald & Yap, a Professional
Corporation (“O&Y”), formerly counsel to the Company, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of
Orange, Case No. 04CC11623, against the Company, seeking recovery of allegedly unpaid legal fees in the amount of $50,984.86 in connection
with the legal representation of the Company. Subsequently the amount claimed of unpaid legal fees was reduced to $37,378.43 because it
was discovered that O&Y did not properly credit all of the payments that were made by the Company to O&Y. The amount of $37,378.43
was deposited in an escrow account by the Company on July 5, 2005. The complaint includes causes of action for breach of contract. The
Company disputes the amounts claimed alleging that O&Y’s services were otherwise unsatisfactory. On May 9, 2005, O&Y submitted
an Offer to Compromise for a $0 payment by the Company to O&Y in exchange for mutual releases which the Company rejected.
On February 14, 2005, a cross-claim was filed
in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No. 04CC11623 by the Company against O&Y alleging breach of contract,
professional negligence, negligent representation, and breach of good faith and fiduciary duty. The basis of the allegations is that O&Y
was retained to assist the Company’s predecessor company in the purchase and acquisition of D.W.C. Installations (“D.W.C.”)
with the expectation that D.W.C. had available free-trading shares such that the Company could immediately raise capital on the relevant
markets and that in advising the Company through the purchase, O&Y failed to properly advise the Company as to the status of D.W.C.
and its shares, which in fact were not free-trading. As a result of this conduct, the Company alleges damages in an unspecified amount
but including purchase costs of D.W.C., extended operation costs, refiling costs, audit costs, legal fees, loan fees, lost market share,
and costs for registration. O&Y has vigorously disputed the claims set forth in the cross-complaint and has indicated its intention,
should it prevail in its defense, to institute a malicious prosecution action against the Company, Nasser Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani and
Company counsel. Litigation of this matter is currently stayed pending the SEC Complaint below.
SEC Complaint
On September
27, 2006, the Commission filed a complaint (“Complaint”) against The Children’s Internet, Inc. (“TCI”) and
its principles, Nasser Hamedani and Sholeh Hamedani (collectively, the “Hamedanis”) and Two Dog Net, Inc. (“TDN”)
and two of its stock promoters, Peter Perez (“Perez”) and Cort Poyner (“Poyner”). In the Complaint, the Commission
alleged that, from February 2002 through June 2005, the Hamedanis purportedly on behalf of TCI, fraudulently obtained approximately $5.5
million from public investors. The Hamedanis diverted a significant amount of the investors’ money to pay personal expenses and
also hundreds of thousands of dollars in undisclosed commissions to two stock promoters, Perez and Poyner.
On March
19, 2008, the Court entered a final judgment against Perez directing him to pay $85,000 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest.
William Arnold v The
Childrens Internet, Inc., Case No. RG 07-359949
On April
18, 2008, William Arnold filed suit against the Company for breach of contract relating to his written employment agreement commencing
on December 2005. Mr. Arnold claims the Company agreed to pay a salary of $120,000 per annum, a performance bonus, and 1,000,000 shares
of TCI common stock. Mr. Arnold is seeking $600,000 plus interest and punitive damages. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not
have legal counsel and has not filed an answer in this complaint and at the Status Conference neither the Company or counsel for William
Arnold appeared at the hearing.
Stonefield Josephson,
Inc
On June
13, 2006, the Company became subject to an arbitration demand from Stonefield Josephson, Inc., its former accountant, seeking reimbursement
costs for legal fees spent in connection with the SEC inquiry of the Company. Stonefield Josephson, Inc.’s claim seeks recovery
of $29,412.74. The Company disputes any amounts owed because of a settlement agreement entered into between the respective parties in
December 2004 effectively terminating their relationship. This matter was submitted to binding arbitration through AAA in January 2007.
The Arbitrator’s
decision was issued on February 2, 2007, awarding Stonefield Josephson, Inc. the sum of $19,000 plus costs and fees in the amount of $1,425
due and payable March 15, 2007. The decision also awarded Stonefield Josephson, Inc. interest at the rate of 10% per annum on $19,000
from March 15, 2007. On August 30, 2007, an additional $2,500 in post-arbitration attorney’s fees and costs was awarded by the Los
Angeles Superior Court. No amounts have been paid to Stonefield Josephson since the date of the Arbitrator’s decision.
On August
25, 2006, the Company filed a complaint against its former accountants, Stonefield Josephson, Inc., and its principal Dean Skupen, in
the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG06286054 alleging breach of contract, promissory estoppel, breach of implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and unfair business practices arising out of defendants’
alleged failure to properly perform contractual obligations. The Company seeks damages resulting from defendants’ actions, including
recovering costs expended for a subsequent audit and the resultant loss in stock price following the Company’s inability to file
necessary reports with the NASD. The matter was subsequently transferred to Los Angeles Superior Court. Mediation on this matter took
place on February 29, 2008 in Los Angeles, California but was unsuccessful.
Note:
This 10-K filing is being made on the current date. The current management does not have the legal files and it has been reported the
entire case file for this action has been deleted and no records are available. On September 25, 2013 the Court reported the “Paper
File Destroyed” and there are no records subsequent to the docket entries up to April 16, 2007. There is no further information
available on this action.
Lumber & Company
On April 8, 2008, Lumer & Company filed a
claim in the Superior Court of California, City and County of San Francisco for breach of contract related to unpaid accounting service
fees, CGC 08-474007. On June 25, 2008, a judgment was entered against the Company for $58,175.66, including prejudgment interest and cost.
