NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
On February 18, 2020, STCB received a demand letter from a law firm representing certain individuals who purchased the Breathe brand home cleaning products. The demand letter alleged that STCB had unlawfully, falsely and misleadingly labeled and marketed the Breathe brand of products to consumers in violation of the Consumer Products Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substance Act and the FTC Act as well as various California and New York laws. While STCB denied any wrongdoing, a settlement was reached and paid in full, with no further obligation required by STCB.
Accrued Liability On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an investment arrangement with an individual. Per the terms of the agreement, the investor transferred $150,000 to STCB to be used for the development of a specific product. The product for which the investment was intended was never produced and this agreement is being renegotiated. The investment remains with the Company and is disclosed as an accrued liability on the balance sheet.
On September 8, 2021, the Company (via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Whipshots-WY) entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement effective August 24, 2021, with Penguins Fly, LLC, pursuant to which the Company purchased the trademarks “Whipshotz” and “Whipshots”. The purchase price for these trademarks is payable to Penguins Fly, LLC over the course of years, based on a sliding scale percentage between 2% and 5% of gross revenues actually received by the Company solely from the Company’s sale of Whipshots/Whipshotz products.
On September 14, 2021, the Company (via newly formed subsidiary Whipshots-DE), entered into a License Agreement with Washpoppin Inc., a New York corporation (“Washpoppin”) pursuant to which Washpoppin licensed certain intellectual property of the recording artist professionally known as “Cardi B” to the Company for use associated with the Company’s new product line consisting of alcohol-infused, whipped-cream aerosols, under the brand name “Whipshots.” The Company intends to launch these products under the Whipshots™ brand in the fourth quarter of 2021. |
