NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.

On October 31, 2024, Eli Lilly and Company (“Eli Lilly”) filed a complaint against us in the Northern District of Texas Dallas Division. The complaint alleges causes of action against us for false and misleading advertising and promotion in violation of Section 43(a)(1)(B) of the Lanham Act; and false advertising, in connection with the Company’s TRIM product, and seeks (a) a declaratory judgment, an injunction from falsely stating or suggesting that our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets are approved by the FDA, have been the subject of clinical studies, or achieve certain therapeutic outcomes; engaging in any unfair competition with Eli Lilly; and engaging in any deceptive or unfair acts; (b) an order requiring the Company and its officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys and all persons acting in concert or participation with any of them, to engage in corrective advertising by informing consumers that: a. our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets do not contain the same formulation as MOUNJARO® or ZEPBOUND®; b. our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets do not contain the same dosage as MOUNJARO® or ZEPBOUND®; c. our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets are not and have never been approved by FDA; d. our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets have never been studied in clinical trials; and d. our oral dissolvable tirzepatide tablets have never been demonstrated to be safe or effective; (c) an order directing the Company to file with the court and serve on Eli Lilly’s attorneys, thirty (30) days after the date of entry of any injunction, a report in writing and under oath setting forth in detail the manner and form in which it has complied with the court’s injunction; (e) an order requiring the Company to account for and pay to Eli Lilly any and all profits arising from the foregoing acts of alleged false advertising; (f) an order requiring the Company to pay Eli Lilly compensatory damages in an amount as of yet undetermined caused by the false advertising and trebling such compensatory damages for payment to Lilly in accordance with 15 U.S.C. § 1117 and other applicable laws; (f) an order requiring the Company to pay Eli Lilly all types of monetary remedies available under Texas state law in amounts as of yet undetermined caused by the foregoing acts of unfair competition; (g) pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on all damages; and (h) attorney’s fees.

As discussed above, the initial Complaint asserted two claims: (i) false advertising under the federal Lanham Act; and (ii) common law deceptive advertising. The Company moved to dismiss the second claim, arguing that Texas does not recognize such a claim. Thereafter, on January 30, 2025, Eli Lilly responded by filing an amended complaint wherein it removed the 2^nd cause of action. On February 24, 2025, the Company filed its response along with its affirmative defenses and concluding with a motion to dismiss.

On June 23, 2025, the Company and Eli Lilly entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement whereby both parties agreed to settle and resolve the complaint upon the Company agreeing pay Lilly a total of $20,000 in cash (the “Settlement Amount”) and the Company agreeing to refrain from marketing and selling its Tirzepatide based ‘TRIM’ products on its MangoRx.com website in the future. The Company paid the Settlement Amount on June 27, 2025 and has been settled in full.

On February 18, 2025, Boustead brought an arbitration action against the Company with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) claiming fees for services owed to Boustead pursuant to its original Engagement Agreement and Advisory Services Agreement entered into with Boustead on June 21, 2022 (the “Boustead Agreement”). Specifically, Boustead is claiming the Company owes Boustead in excess of $1,000,000 in cash and warrants for various financial advisory related services for transactions in which the Company did not engage or retain any financial advisor and in which the Company entered into on its own accord. Furthermore, all transactions in which they are claiming fees transpired after the Right of First Refusal provision of the Boustead Agreement terminated on or around March 20, 2024. The Company believes this is an ill-willed attempt for Boustead to receive fees in which they are not entitled and that this claim has no basis or merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim with FINRA through arbitration.

On May 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement”) between the Company, Jacob D. Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and 1800 Diagonal Lending, LLC (“1800 Diagonal”). Pursuant to the Settlement and in consideration for general releases of all parties, and the dismissal of a lawsuit with prejudice, pursuant to which 1800 Diagonal has made claims against the Company and Mr. Cohen, the Company agreed to issue 1800 Diagonal 62,500 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Settlement Shares”). The Settlement Agreement was entered into following a mediation between the parties. The shares were issued on May 5, 2025 with a fair value of $105,625.

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Antonios Isaac as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and as President of the Company, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Isaac on January 15, 2025 (the “Isaac Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Isaac Consulting Agreement, Mr. Isaac agreed to serve as the President of the Company and to provide services to the Company as reasonably requested during the term of the Isaac Consulting Agreement, which is 12 months. As consideration for the services to be provided by Mr. Isaac under the Isaac Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay him $10,000 per month. Pursuant to the Isaac Consulting Agreement, we agreed to reimburse Mr. Isaac’s expenses, subject to pre-approval for any expense greater than $500.

On July 1, 2025, Mr. Antonios Isaac, the Company’s President and member of the Board of Directors, provided notice to the Company of his resignation as both a member of the Board of Directors and President.

On January 27, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Payment Plan Letter Agreement (the “1^st Amendment”) with MAAB Global Ltd. (“MAAB”). MAAB had previously purchased rights to $500,000 owed by the Company to Barstool Sports, Inc. (“Barstool” and the “Debt”) on January 10, 2025, which amount was non-interest bearing, and due pursuant to the terms of a Payment Plan Letter Agreement entered into between Barstool and the Company on August 27, 2024. Pursuant to the 1^st Amendment, the Company and MAAB agreed to amend the terms of the Debt to allow MAAB the right, exercisable at any time, to convert the $500,000 of Debt into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. See Note 7 for further details regarding the request to convert the Note to shares of common stock.

On August 6, 2025, the Company filed a lawsuit in the 191^st Judicial District Court of Dallas, County in Dallas, Texas against its former technology consulting and software development firm, Clarity Ventures, Inc. (“Clarity”). The Company alleges that Clarity failed to deliver a fully functional, HIPAA-compliant enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and eCommerce platform that Clarity had been engaged to design and implement in support of the Company’s operations. The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $73 million, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees.

Clarity has denied the Company’s allegations and has asserted counterclaims related to alleged unpaid invoices. The Company believes these counterclaims are unwarranted, as all binding and required payments under the applicable agreements were made in full prior to disengaging from Clarity’s services. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims and defend against the counterclaims through the litigation process. As of the date of this report, the Company has filed with the courts its first set of interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admissions.
