Note 7 .Commitments and Contingencies | On June 9, 2016, Sharon Morrison and Morrison Enterprises ("Plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit ("Complaint") in the Circuit Court of The Seventeenth Judicial Circuit In And For Broward County, Florida, naming Univest Tech Inc. (now known as New Asia Energy Inc. ("NAEI"), which is the Company's current name) as a defendant as well as naming other defendants (including, but not limited to, Manminderjit ("Manny") Singh, Esq., a Florida attorney, Luke Zouvas, Esq., a California attorney, and Zouvas Law Group, P.C. ("ZLG"), which is the law practice corporation owned by Mr. Zouvas) (collectively, "Defendants"). According to the Complaint, on March 24, 2014, (prior to the Change in Control), Manny Singh, Esq., allegedly emailed Ms. Morrison offering to sell her 5,000 shares in an investment opportunity he called "Chino Valley Arizona." Allegedly, Ms. Morrison wired $10,000 in U.S. funds the next day to Luke Zouvas, Esq.'s trust account maintained by ZLG. The wire instructions stated "For Chino Valley Arizona 5000.00 Shares." On September 10, 2014, Ms. Morrison allegedly received an email from an employee of ZLG that had attached to it a September 9, 2014, letter signed by Manny Sing, Esq., transmitting a Stock Purchase Agreement that offered to sell Ms. Morrison, personally, 10,000 shares of Univest Tech Inc. (now NAEI) through a private resale of shares of capital stock purportedly held by Sandman Holdings Corp. which allegedly was a record or beneficial owner of Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI) stock at the time. Plaintiffs allege that they did not sign the Stock Purchase Agreement with Sandman Holdings Corp. and did not receive any shares of the capital stock of Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI). Plaintiffs are seeking $10,000 U.S. in damages from Defendants Manny Singh, Esq., ZLG, and Luke Zouvas, Esq., related to the Chino Valley Investment Opportunity based on various causes of action solely alleged against Defendants Manny Singh, Esq., ZLG, and Luke Zouvas, Esq. Although Plaintiffs have named Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI) as a party defendant in the Complaint, the Plaintiffs have not alleged any causes of action against Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) for damages or to enforce or set aside the unsigned Stock Purchase Agreement for Sandman Holdings' stock in Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI). Because Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI) has only been named in the lawsuit without seeking any damages from the Company, an estimate of the potential loss, or range of loss, if any, to the Company relating to these proceedings is not possible at this time. Although, if Plaintiffs amended the Complaint to state a cause of action for damages against Univest Tech, Inc., (now NAEI), then, based on the Plaintiffs' present allegations, such a claim for damages would be for the same $10,000 U.S. in damage Plaintiffs are seeking against Defendants Manny Sing, Esq., ZLG, and Luke Zouvas, Esq. Based on the allegations of the Complaint, the Company is of the opinion that it should not have been named as a party-defendant to the proceedings just as Jaitegh Singh, Esq. (Manny Singh's son and the Company's principal shareholder in 2014) was not named as a party-defendant. There are no allegations that the Company was involved in offering or selling (i) the Chino Valley Investment Opportunity, (ii) the Stock Purchase Agreement with Sandman Holdings Corp. (which is not named as a party-defendant) or (iii) any other shares of the Company. The Company has enlisted a Florida counsel to obtain the dismissal of the Complaint against the Company. The Company is vigorously defending itself in the litigation. The Company's Florida counsel has filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction seeking dismissal of the lawsuit on the grounds that the Florida Court lacks jurisdiction over the Company. In early October 2016, the Company's Florida counsel has also served a Motion for Sanctions Pursuant to Section 57.105 of the Florida Statutes (the "57.105 Motion") requesting that the Plaintiffs voluntarily dismiss the Company within 21 days or be subject to sanctions for continuing to pursue the lawsuit. Plaintiffs did not drop the Company from the law suit within 21 days or thereafter. Therefore, the Companys Florida counsel filed the 57.105 Motion. In order to keep their case from being dismiss for failure to allege any claim or cause of action against Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI), Plaintiffs amended their original complaint by filing an Amended Complaint making allegations against Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI). After receiving Plaintiffs Amended Complaint, the Company filed another motion to dismiss on the grounds of a lack of jurisdiction and for an inconsistency in the pleadings. Plaintiffs changed no allegations from the original complaint about where it sent the $10,000 or who might have or did receive those funds. Without any allegations being made as to how Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) would have converted Plaintiffs funds to the Companys own use or any allegation that Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) ever received any of Plaintiffs funds, Plaintiffs brought two counts in the Amended Complaint against Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI), one for conversion and the other for unjust enrichment. These claims are deficient because of the failure to allege that Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) actually ever received and had dominion or control over the Plaintiffs funds. Although Plaintiffs have alleged causes of action against other defendants that could exceed $10,000, Plaintiffs have only alleged a cause of action against NAEI that could result in a $10,000 judgment against Plaintiffs which is outside the jurisdiction of the Florida Circuit Court because it can only consider cases with damages in excess of $15,000. Therefore, in addition to the other basis for dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, NAEI could be dismissed for want of the Circuit Courts jurisdiction. As such, the Companys motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint still alleges a lack of any basis to have sued Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) as well as a lack of any jurisdiction over Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI). The Company also included in that motion a claim that Plaintiffs have acted in Bad Faith in suing Univest (now NAEI) and should be sanctioned for having done so by an award of attorneys fees and costs against Plaintiffs and their counsel for having sued Univest Tech, Inc. (now NAEI) in the Amended Complaint. While the Company is of the opinion that NAEI will ultimately be dismissed from the action, the Company cannot assure that result under any circumstance. On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with New Asia Momentum Pte Ltd. to lease its office space for one year. The monthly rent is around $3,476. See Note 6 for more details. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the rental expense is $37,284 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, future minimum lease commitments under the non-cancellable lease was $10,428 in 2017. |
