Item 8.01Other Events
On June 19, 2017, the Company learned that on June 15, 2017, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) filed a Complaint
against the Company and Michael Mona, Jr., the Companys President
and Chief Executive Officer. The Complaint alleges that the
Companys financial reporting of its acquisition of certain assets
from PhytoSphere Systems, LLC in 2013 (the Transaction) was
improper, and constitutes fraud. More specifically, the SEC
contends that the Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the
first three quarters of 2013 improperly reported the Transaction.
The SEC bases its claims against the Company and Mr. Mona on the
position that the Companys reporting of the Transaction in 2013,
and prior to its restatement of those financial reports in April
2014, overstated the value of the Companys assets.
The Complaint alleges that Mr. Mona personally benefitted from
the alleged fraud by receiving a holiday bonus of $10,000 in
December 2013.
