Legal Matters - From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. During the year ended June 30, 2017, a party initiated a lawsuit against the Company, directors and officers of the Company for a shareholder demand related to corporate governance and employee stock option plans.  A settlement has been reached which was approved by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and does not have a material effect on the results of operations other than the cancellation of stock options as disclosed in Note 11. The Company has also reached an agreement with the plaintiff’s lawyers on the fees to be paid which is recorded in the statement of operations. There are no other proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
