Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, a judgment in the amount of $936,330 was levied against Sysorex Arabia LLC in favor of Creative Edge, Inc. in
connection with amounts advanced for operations. Of that amount, $214,187 has been repaid, $514,836 will be paid through a surety bond, and the remaining $207,321 has been accrued as advances payable on the consolidated balance sheet by Sysorex Arabia as of March 31, 2014. There was no effect upon the statement of operations in connection with this transaction.
Contingent Consideration
Under the terms of the acquisition of Lilien, the Company is liable for the payment of additional cash consideration to the extent that the recipients of the 3,000,000 (6,000,000 pre-split) shares of the Company's common stock receive less than $3,000,000 ($6,000,000 pre-split) from the sale of those shares, less customary commissions, on or before March 20, 2015. As of the date of the acquisition and March 31, 2014 the guaranteed amount was considered by management to be de minimis.
