Note 4 - Bhang Corporation (formerly known as Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc.) and Judgment
On January 17, 2014, the Company transitioned out of its cancer related trading dormancy by announcing its first cannabis sector letter of intent amidst significantly increased share volume and price. The Company entered into an agreement with Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc., the predecessor in interest to Bhang Corporation (together Bhang), effective February 28, 2014. As part of that agreement, which was ultimately rescinded, Mentor delivered $1,500,000 to Bhang which Bhang refused to return following rescission of the agreement. Following arbitration of the dispute, on December 29, 2016, Mentor obtained a judgment in the amount of $1,921,534 against Bhang Corporation and its predecessor in interest, Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The judgment accrues interest at the rate of 10% from December 29, 2016 until such time as the judgment is satisfied. See Notes 20 and 23. Accrued interest receivable is fully reserved at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the Company is analyzing its ability to collect the interest on this award and subsequent judgement. Mentor intends to vigorously pursue collection of the entire $1,500,000 plus all accrued interest.
The receivable and accrued interest consists of the following:
As part of the judgment Bhang owners, Scott Van Rixel and Richard Sellers, who together purchased 117,000 shares of Mentor Common Stock pursuant to the Bhang Agreement have the option until December 29, 2017 to return all or part of those shares in exchange for payment of the original purchase price of $1.95 per share plus a pro-rata amount of $58,568 in interest for such returned shares. Mentor will account for the return of the shares as a capital transaction if and when the shares are remitted back to the Company. |
