NOTE 6 – DEFERRED REVENUE

 

On September 2, 2010, the Company entered into a multi-year exclusive worldwide License Agreement (“License Agreement”) for its ProAlgaZyme ® product (“Product”) with a distributor of health and nutritional products, Zus Health, LLC (“Zus”).  Under the terms of the License Agreement, Zus had the exclusive right to distribute the Product to customers and distributors worldwide, excluding pharmaceutical applications and food, supplement and medicinal ingredient applications outside of multi-level, network or affiliate marketing (“MLM”). On January 9, 2012, we notified the sole known representative of the exclusive distributor that we had determined that Zus and its purported assignee, Ceptazyme, LLC (“Ceptazyme”) committed multiple breaches of its License Agreement, and that both Zus and Ceptazyme must immediately cease any and all activities with respect to the sale or distribution of HEPI products.  The Company had received a payment of $255,000, as provided in the License Agreement, for the exclusive distribution rights. The Company filed a lawsuit in Michigan against Zus and Ceptazyme on January 9, 2012, alleging breach of contract. Subsequently, Ceptazyme filed suit in Utah against the Company on January 24, 2012, also alleging breach of contract. Until this matter is resolved, the Company has classified the remaining $235,000 as Deferred Revenue, noncurrent.
