Legal Proceedings On August 9, 2011, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, File No. S-115321, by Falco Investments, Inc. ("Falco") naming us as a defendant (the "Complaint"). In the Complaint, Falco alleges that we owe $690,588 as compensation for corporate work performed by Falco through June 30, 2011. We have responded in our answer and stated that we do not owe the $690,588 for such services allegedly performed by Falco since there was no written contract between us and Falco. We have amended our counterclaim to name additional parties, in addition to the former president/chief executive officer, Dr. Stewart Jackson and Donald Rutledge and Leslie Rutledge as defendants. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the Falco litigation at this time. On July 24, 2014, Glenn Soler ("Soler"), a former director of our Company, initiated a lawsuit against Double Crown and certain officers/directors of the company asserting claims of breach of contract, fraud-common law, negligent misrepresentation, fraud in stock transaction, conspiracy, and promissory estoppel seeking money damages, common stock, attorney's fees and exemplary damages.
