Note 3. – Other Liabilities - Deferred Revenue:
The deferred revenue amounting to $100,000 is a liability attached to a consultancy agreement signed with a former client Medinas Holding BV on February 4, 2014.
Note 4. – Other Liabilities – Able Foundation Claim:
On October 9, 2013, the Company, Global Equity Partners Plc., secured a two-month loan for GBP 75,000 (equivalent to $120,420) and issued 10,000 restricted shares of common stock to the lender, The Able Foundation, on December 7, 2013, and also repay 35,000 GBP (equivalent to $56,196) in lieu of interest. As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 restricted shares of common stock in consideration for a five-month extension on the loan. This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. The Company is currently in litigation, in the courts of Dubai, regarding the Able Foundation loan.
The plaintiff, the Able Foundation, is requesting a settlement of $411,272, which is the $226,616 currently owed, and an additional $184,656 accrued in 2015 as a provision for potential damages.
On June 1, 2015, the Company (the defendant) retained the legal services of a Dubai based law firm called Al Safar & Partners. Currently, there is a judgment against the Company (the defendant) for the recovery of $411,272.

Exhibit “A” (Continued)
During 2015 and 2016, the Company’s Dubai lawyers, Al Safar & Partners, appealed this judgment various times based on the fact that they believed from a legal stand point that:
1) | the Company (the defendant) has not been heard, which is a violation of the fundamental principle of law “Audi Alteram Partem”. | |
2) | there is no legal existence of Global Equity Partners Plc. in Dubai, as it is a Republic of Seychelles corporation; hence, the Courts of Dubai have no jurisdiction in the matter. |
All prior appeals were rejected by the Dubai Courts, however a new appeal against the formal execution of this judgement was filed in September 2016 and is still pending as of the date of this agreement.
