The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from a third supplier also alleging non-payment of amounts owed for services rendered. The amount asserted was $9,675. Management has included this amount in accounts payable at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. All the notes payable discussed in this section, were incurred before 2002 and before present management took control of the company. The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from a supplier alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. Management settled this lawsuit on November 30, 2001 and issued a note payable for $18,000 due September 1, 2002 with interest at 6% per annum in full settlement of this claim. As reflected in Notes Payable, the amount due on this note remains unpaid, and management has indicated that it has received no demand for payment from this note holder. The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit from another supplier also alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. This lawsuit was settled on May 1, 2002 by issuing a non-interest bearing note payable for $25,000 due on September 12, 2002. The Company defaulted on this note, has not paid it to date and received a notice of motion dated October 22, 2002, seeking entry of a judgment for $30,000 plus interest effective December 6, 2002. The Company adjusted the note balance to $30,000 and has recorded interest expense at 6% per annum from May 1, 2002, the date of settlement, through the end of 2018. The Company was a defendant in another lawsuit from a former consultant alleging nonpayment of amounts owed for services rendered. Management has executed a note payable to this plaintiff for $40,000 which was due on July 10, 2002 and remains unpaid. Pursuant to the terms of this note, the Company has recorded interest payable at 7% for the period July 10, 2002 through December 31, 2018. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement with ARUR, the Company has a contingent liability to payback notes payable in the amount of approximately $400,000 if the Company is successful in collecting on certain accounts receivable. If the receivables are not collected, there is no obligation on the Company to pay off the debt. During March 2013, the Company was named in an action pertaining to the 75% working interest in the Ownbey Lease. Subsequent to the Companys purchase of the assets and the termination of the operator, a mechanics lien was filed against the property claiming approximately $267,000 in fees are due to the previous operator. An action is pending in the District Court of Chautauqua County, Kansas, captioned Aesir Energy, Inc. vs. American Resource Technologies, Inc.; Nancy Ownbey Archer; Jimmy Stephen Ownbey; Robbie Faye Butts; Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. and TTII oil &amp; Gas, Inc. Management intends to vigorously contest AESIRs claims and, at this point, settlement appears unlikely. It has been presented in the County Court that some of ARURs Directors have acted without authorization in this matter, and GTIIs management is assessing how to proceed at this time. No monetary claims have been asserted against GTII or TTII Oil &amp; Gas, Inc. The Company has made several attempts to recover the shares of GTII stock paid to ARUR for the asset acquisition and the various costs and expenses expended by GTII in fulfillment of its obligations under the contract with ARUR. The failure of non-litigation attempts to resolve the matter resulted in filing an action for declaratory judgment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, case#17-CV-0698. On the 3rd of February 2017, GTII filed an action for declaratory relief in the Eastern District of New York, for the purpose of recovering the costs, expenses and consideration paid to ARUR for the rights and benefits associated with an Oil and Gas transaction entered into between the parties on December 31st, 2012. The action by GTII is predicated on the underlying contract for the sale of the assets of ARUR being vacated by a local Kansas Court on the basis that the company and its officers lacked the authority to enter into the contract. Because of that decision GTII lost all interest in the transaction, their associated benefits and any financial gain that may have been anticipated. Attempts were made to resolve this without litigation but have been unsuccessful. The matter is proceeding accordingly. The Company has made several attempts to recover the shares of GTII, f/k/a TTI stock paid to ARUR for the asset acquisition and the various costs and expenses expended by GTII in fulfillment of its obligations under the contract with ARUR. The failure of non-litigation attempts to resolve the matter resulted in filing an action for declaratory judgment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, case#17-CV-0698. As of this writing the case has not yet been decided. On December 30, 2016, Global Tech Industries Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, executed a stock purchase agreement (the Agreement), which was signed and closed in Hong Kong, with GoFun Group, Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary Go F &amp; B Holdings, Ltd. GoFun Group, Ltd. is a privately held company running a casual dining restaurant business, based in Hong Kong. Subsequent to the agreement being signed, GoFun Group failed to substantially perform under the agreement, including, but not limited to providing audited financials of its assets, making the ongoing payments called for in the agreement, along with other matters that led Global Tech to initiate litigation in the United States. Currently, Global Tech and GoFun are litigating the matter in the U.S District Court for the southern district of New York. As of this writing, the case has yet to be decided.
