Risk factors and legal proceedings
Legal proceedings
G FarmaLabs Limited
On August 27, 2021, the Company and Mentor Partner I, LLC settled certain litigation with G FarmaLabs Limited, a Nevada corporation, and certain of its affiliates (the “G Farma Settlors”). The G Farma Settlors partially performed, and then breached, the Settlement Agreement.
Consequently, in February 2023, the Company and Mentor Partner I filed a Request for Entry of Judgment seeking entry of a stipulated judgment against the G Farma Settlors for (1) the remaining unpaid settlement amount of $494,450 promised, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and an additional $2,000,000 principal amount as agreed in the Settlement Agreement, (2) the Company’s incurred costs, and (3) attorneys’ fees paid by the Company to obtain the judgment. On July 11, 2023, the Court entered judgment against the G Farma Settlors and in favor of Mentor and Partner I in the amount of $2,539,597, which is comprised of $2,494,450 principal (calculated as the aggregate settlement amount, less payments made by the G Farma Settlors, plus the default addition) plus accrued and unpaid interest of $40,219, costs of $1,643, and attorneys’ fees of $3,285 incurred by Mentor and Mentor Partner I in connection with obtaining the judgment. The judgment also accrues post-judgment interest at the rate of 10% from July 11, 2023, until such time as the judgment is paid in full.
The Company has retained the reserve on the unpaid notes receivable balance and collections of the unpaid lease receivable balance due to the history of uncertain payments from G Farma and the G Farma Settlors. Payments recovered will be reported as Other Income in the consolidated income statements. The $2,539,597 judgment and interest receivable of $628,985 as of December 31, 2025, is fully reserved pending the outcome of the Company’s collection process. We will continue to pursue collection from the G Farma Settlors over time.
