Commitments and Contingencies |
Purchase price contingency
In connection with acquisition of Modern Everyday, Inc., the Company issued 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock as part of the consideration for the acquisition. The Company has guaranteed the holder of the 50,000 shares that the value of those shares will be at least $8.00 per shares 30 months after the acquisition date. The Company has agreed to compensate the holder, if the share price is less than $8.00 at the 30 months anniversary of the acquisition, the difference between $8.00 and the share price at the 30 month anniversary times the number of shares still owned by the holder. As of September 30, 2015, the Company as recorded a liability of $316,000 related to this guarantee. The value of these shares was included as part of the purchase price consideration. The Company will adjust this guarantee at the end of each balance sheet date based on the current price of the Companys common stock.
Litigation
The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that the Company cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Companys management to date and other than as noted below, the Companys management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against us is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2015, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.
Operating Leases and Service Contracts
The Company leases its office space, certain equipment and a building (from a related party) under long-term operating leases expiring through fiscal year 2016.
