NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS NOT DISCLOSED ELSEWHERE

 

Notes payable, related parties

 

Notes payable, related parties and accrued interest due to certain related parties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

 

    2018     2017  
             
Accrued interest     11,800       11,800  
                 
    $ 11,800     $ 11,800  

 

We believe the stated interest rates on the related party notes payable represent reasonable market rates based on the note payable arrangements we have executed with third parties.

 

In March 2012, the Company entered into an Irrevocable License & Royalty Agreement with PWS that grants PWS an irrevocable world-wide license to the IP in exchange for a 5% royalty on all revenues from PWS and its affiliates. The term commenced as of the date of the Agreement and shall continue for a period not to exceed the life of the patent or patents filed by the Company. PWS may sub license the IP and any revenue derived from sub licensing shall be included in the calculation of Gross Revenue for purposes of determining royalty payments due the Company. Royalty payments are due 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. PWS generated licensing and unit sales revenues of approximately $134,800 and $1,539,800 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as such, royalties of $120,300 and $113,600 were due at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

In September 2014, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (“Equity Agreement”) with a third party (“Seller”) whereby the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $1,212,000, in exchange for 22.5 membership interest units, representing 15% ownership interest in Sterall, LLC, a Delaware corporation. In March 2015 the Company and the Seller entered into a revised agreement whereby the 1,200,000 shares issued by the Company would be held by the Seller until the completion of an independent third party valuation. Based on the fair market value of the Purchased Units from the valuation obtained by the Company, an amount of Consideration Shares will be returned to the Company to the extent that the fair market value of the Consideration Shares issued (see below) are greater than the fair market value of the Purchased Units. In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue additional shares as consideration for the Purchased Units. For purposes of this amendment, the fair market value of each Consideration Share will be $0.83333. In the event the parties are unwilling to accept the fair market value of the Purchased Units, as determined by the independent valuation specialist, on or before the Closing Date this Agreement, the transaction covered by this Agreement (the “Contemplated Transaction”) may be rescinded by either Party in writing.

 

In December 2014, PWS, Sterall, Inc and Sterall LLC entered into a Successor-In-Interest Agreement. The Successor-In-Interest Agreement states that Sterall Inc and Sterall LLC are in the process of consolidating their business under Sterall LLC and all agreements between PWS and Sterall Inc shall be binding in all regards Sterall LLC.

 

In October 2014, PWS and Medical Waste Services, LLC (“MWS”) formed a contractual joint venture to exploit the PWS medical waste destruction technology. In 2015, MWS licensed and installed a CoronaLux unit at an MWS facility, and subsequently received a limited permit to operate. Operations to date have included the destruction of medical waste. For the year ended December 31, 2017, PWS has recorded $19,800 in income which represents their 50% interest in the net income of the joint venture. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, PWS billed the joint venture approximately $0 and $57,000, respectively, in costs incurred on behalf of the joint venture.

 

Due to the ability of the Company to rescind the shares issued at the commencement of the transaction the shares were considered contingently issuable shares and as such the 1,200,000 shares were not considered issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015. The 15% ownership interest in Sterall was considered contingently held until the conclusion of this transaction.

 

As of December 31, 2015, an independent appraisal was not performed and the Amended Equity Agreement expired by its terms. The 1,200,000 shares subject to the original Equity Agreement and the Amended Equity Agreement became unrestricted in 2016 and are considered issued and outstanding. The shares were valued at $720,000 and were originally recorded as a long term other asset pending resolution of claims by the parties involved related to the Sterall licensing agreement from September 2013, Sterall equipment deposits of $330,000 from 2014 and the equity purchase agreement noted above. As of December 31, 2016, a settlement was not reached by the parties and an impairment of the long term asset in the amount of $720,000 was recorded by the Company. In July 2017, the Company and Sterall signed a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release which allows Sterall to retain the one unit delivered in 2014 and another unit also on site, in exchange for the Company’s retention of the $330,000 deposit paid by Sterall and the issuance of 300,000 shares of restricted common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an additional cost of $120,900 related to the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (see Note 8).
