TRIBUS ENTERPRISES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington on March 29, 2017 for the purpose of developing, designing, manufacturing and distributing hand tools. Upon incorporation, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Tribus Innovations, LLC (“Tribus Innovations”) and acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Tribus Innovations. Tribus Innovations was formed on December 1, 2015. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and these financial statements present the historical financial information of Tribus Innovations from its inception and include the financial information of the Company from the completion of the share exchange agreement on March 29, 2017.

Tribus Enterprises, Inc. has invented and patented a new technology that changes the way technicians do their jobs. The Company’s line of wrenches literally cuts the time some jobs take from three to four hours to mere minutes. The Company has completed the design and research and development of four lines of wrenches. After a redesign which improved the strength of the wrenches, production of three of the four lines started in April 2020. The company experienced good growth in sales during the quarter and expanded its sales to Amazon. The reactions from customers and market influencers from those sales remain extremely positive. The Company is working to expand both marketing and production efforts with one more round of fundraising being planned for the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

NOTE 2 – UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s March 31, 2020 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tribus Innovations LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its plans and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds and funds from the sale of shares of stock to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on the financial statements. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

The Company offers a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects on products sold. Due to sales recently occurring, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate future costs that will be incurred under its lifetime warranty program on revenue recognized as of December 31, 2020. However, the Company anticipates the amounts associated with revenues recognized as of December 31, 2020 to be immaterial to the financial statements.

The Company recognized revenues of $68,162 and $25,554 during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $80,961 and $25,554 during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 5 - DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue represents revenues collected but not earned as of December 31, 2020. This is primarily composed of rent or sales revenue received in advance of goods or services being delivered. The balance of deferred revenue was $1,632 and $3,814 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable represents money due to the Company for products sold and delivered but not yet paid as of December 31, 2020. This balance is composed of amounts owed to Tribus by Amazon for the sale of goods through the Amazon website. The accounts receivable balance was $2,411 and $0 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 7 - INVENTORY

The Company recognizes the cost of inventory through cost of goods sold as product is shipped to customers on an average cost basis. The value of inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market of raw materials purchased to manufacture the finished goods, direct labor associated with manufacturing and certain overhead related to the manufacturing facility. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s finished goods inventory balance was $28,965. This balance is recorded net of inventory valuation of $8,604 in order to bring the value of finished goods inventory to the lower of cost or market. In addition, the Company had $259,046 in work in process inventory, $19,103 in raw material inventory, $51,400 in tooling inventory and $9,379 in packaging inventory as of December 31, 2020. The March 31, 2020 inventory balance of $9,590 was all raw materials.

NOTE 8 – EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the average cost method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

In July 2020, a review of the Company’s useful lives for Machinery and Equipment resulted in a change in estimate that increased the useful lives from five to ten years. This determination was based on industry standards and management’s knowledge of the equipment and historical and future use of the equipment. The change in estimate was made prospectively. Leased assets included in Machinery and Equipment are all expected to transfer ownership to the Company at the end of the lease, thus depreciation is on useful life rather than the shorter of the lease term or useful life.

During the period ended June 30, 2020, one piece of equipment was paid off at a negotiated lower amount than the original finance lease. At June 30, 2020, the difference between the original finance lease obligation and the settled amount was booked as forgiveness of debt. A reclassification entry was made in the period ended September 30, 2020 to reclass the amount forgiven from forgiveness of debt to instead reduce the book value of the asset pursuant to ASC 842-20-40-2.

In November 2020, Tribus took over the lease of a forklift from a related party. Transfer of ownership is expected at the end of the lease. Depreciation was based on the useful life of the equipment which was also the remaining term of the lease.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s equipment net of accumulated depreciation was $1,437,811 and $1,265,559 as of March 31, 2020.

NOTE 11 – LOANS PAYABLE

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding three separate loan agreements to purchase equipment totaling $407,644, each with no stated interest rate.

●

The first loan was for equipment valued at $270,604 and required $27,990 down with six monthly payments of $5,000 and a balloon payment of $221,910 unless otherwise negotiated prior to maturity. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company renegotiated the note to require monthly payments of $5,000 until paid in full, removing the balloon payment. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 this loan was paid in full.

●

The second loan was for equipment valued at $137,040 and required $5,000 down with 6 monthly payments of $1,000 and a balloon payment of $126,040 unless otherwise negotiated prior to maturity. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company renegotiated the note to require monthly payments of $5,000 until paid in full, removing the balloon payment. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 this loan was paid in full.

●

The third loan was part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $14,304.00 under the Program. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The Company believes it has used the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses and is working with Bank of America to complete loan forgiveness paperwork. Based on new legislation, signed into law on December 27, 2020, Bank of America has notified the Company that they are waiting on additional guidance from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to roll out their simplified PPP loan forgiveness application in February 2021.

On April 28, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase equipment totaling $146,340. The agreement required $29,268 down with six monthly payments of $5,000 and the remaining balance due thereafter. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company made $30,000 in payments and applied an additional $13,500 toward the loan. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $73,572 due all of which is current.

On June 1, 2019, the Company entered into a loan to borrow $34,222 to purchase a vehicle. As part of the agreement, the Company traded in its existing vehicle for total consideration of $19,464 resulting in a net loss recorded on the asset of $1,751. The loan carries interest at a rate of 6.59% per annum and matures in September 2025. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $26,198 due of which $5,140 was current.

Total loans outstanding at December 31, 2020 were $114,074 of which $93,016 was current and $21,058 was long term.

NOTE 12 – FINANCING LEASES PAYABLE

The Company accounts for financing leases in accordance with ASC 842. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had three outstanding long-term leases for equipment that grants the Company the option to purchase the underlying asset at lease termination that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company determined this was a financing lease based on the reasonable certainty the Company will exercise its right to purchase the underlying assets and capitalized the net present value of the lease.

●

The first finance lease is for equipment which totaled $275,950. The leases require total monthly payments of $5,369. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $171,808 of future payments due through August 2023 of which $28,038 are financing charges leaving a total principal balance of $143,770. Of the total principal balance due, $52,322 was current and $91,448 was long term as December 31, 2020.

●

The second finance lease is for equipment which totaled $332,475. The lease required a down payment of $66,495 and then lease payments of $11,393.02 starting January 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $273,432 of future payments due through December 2022 of which $7,452 are financing charges leaving a total principal balance of $265,980. Of the total principal balance due, $130,661 was current and $135,319 was long term as December 31, 2020.

●

The third finance lease is for equipment which totaled $14,032. The lease was transferred to Tribus in November 2020 from a related party, whereby Tribus will make the remainder of the payments of $371.39 through the end of the lease. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $14,856 of future payments due through April 2024 of which $1,427 are financing charges leaving a total principal balance of $13,429. Of the total principal balance due, $3,750 was current and $9,679 was long term as December 31, 2020.

During the period ended June 30, 2020, four pieces of equipment were sold and the balances on the associated finance leases were settled at lowered amounts. In addition, one piece of equipment was paid off at a negotiated lower amount than the original finance lease. At June 30, 2020, the difference between the original finance lease obligations and the settled amounts were booked as forgiveness of debt. For the equipment that was sold a reclassification entry was made in the period ended September 30, 2020 to reclass this amount from forgiveness of debt to gain on sale of asset pursuant to ASC 842-20-40-2. In addition, for the piece of equipment that is still in use by the Company a reclassification entry was made in the period ended September 30, 2020 to reclass the amount forgiven from forgiveness of debt to instead reduce the book value of the asset pursuant to ASC 842-20-40-2.

However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by. the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Filing and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, and its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for its limited history; (ii) the Company’s business and growth strategies; and, (iii) the Company’s financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

General Business Development

The Company was formed on March 29, 2017 in the State of Washington.

Business Strategy

Upon incorporation, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Tribus Innovations, LLC (“Tribus Innovations”) and acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Tribus Innovations. Tribus Innovations was formed on December 1, 2015. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and these financial statements present the historical financial information of Tribus Innovations from its inception and include the financial information of the Company from the completion of the share exchange agreement on March 29, 2017. The Company has realized limited revenues from its planned business activities. The membership interests of Tribus Innovations, LLC were all held by the officers and directors of Tribus Enterprises, Inc. The Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Tribus Innovations, LLC in exchange for 2,600,000 of our common shares and 19,999,998 of our shares of Class A preferred stock. Tribus Innovations is currently a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

Tribus Innovations, LLC was formed in December 2015 to develop, manufacture, and market a compelling product line of innovative ratcheting flare nut wrenches which have been issued a Patent under application number: 15/092,056 which was issued on September 17, 2019 under Patent Number 10,414,029. The initial product line uses traditional manufacturing methods of metal forging, subtractive manufacturing (CNC milling), additive manufacturing (3D printing), and plastic injection molding.

Products

Tribus Innovations, LLC’s ratcheting flare nut wrench addresses the market in a way that has never been done before; reducing the time it takes to turn inline fasteners.

● Ease of Use – There are no buttons or switches. In order to reverse the tightening direction, simply remove the tool and rotate it 180°.

● Learning Curve – This works the same as a standard open-ended wrench, but it has the ability to ratchet, saving valuable time. There will be a very short and slight learning curve as the users will simply need to remove the tool off the fastener and line up the open slots to remove the tool completely off the line.

● Heavy Torque application – Due to the design of the pawls that engage into the ratchet, it has at least 4x more contact surfaces than standard ratcheting wrenches. This will translate to much more application of torque.

● Convenience in tight spaces – Pawls have been designed along with corresponding grooves in the ratchet so users can maximize ratchet pitch. It will only take 2°- 4° to get the ratchet to click. This is crucial in tight spaces where there is very little room to swing the ratchet.

Tribus Innovations’ ratcheting flare nut wrench is being produced for sale in the hand tool industry. Historically there have been limited designs in the ratcheting flare nut wrench sales market such as Gear Wrench part number 89100 (UPC 099575891007) and the traditional non-ratcheting flare nut wrench. These designs do not allow for small incremental movement in confined spaces, whereas Tribus Innovations’ version of the ratcheting flare nut wrench breaks new ground in this market.

Using the same technology as the ratcheting flare nut wrench and covered under the same patent, Tribus has developed a 7/8” O2 sensor wrench to add to its tool line. Production began in July 2020 with the first batch of product launched at the end of September 2020. Based on feedback from customers and tool trucks, Tribus introduced a 15/16” O2 sensor wrench during the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

In addition, Tribus began production of smaller metric and imperial sizes of its ratcheting flare nut wrenches with the first batch of metric sizes being completed January 2021. These smaller sizes were requested repeatedly by customer and tool trucks with initial sales currently outpacing production.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic. We are monitoring the situation closely and our response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. We have taken measures to mitigate the impact on our business operations and overall financial performance. We are also constantly evaluating and responding to the impact of the pandemic on our supply chain as compared to product demand. In addition, we actively monitor COVID-19-related developments and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, vendors, and stockholders. The effects of these operational modifications will be reflected in current and future reporting periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, Tribus had $5,93,282 in total current assets and total current liabilities of $811,582. Current assets consisted mainly of $231,582 of cash and $359,289 of inventory. Current liabilities consisted mainly of $449,259 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, finance lease liabilities of $186,733, operating lease liabilities of $80,942 and current loans payable of $93,016.

Net cash used in operating activities was $817,727 compared to $873,548 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities was $68,303 compared to net cash used of $3,758 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $966,871 and $1,267,010 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Going Concern

The future of Tribus is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. See Note 3 to the financial statements for additional information.

Results of Operations

Tribus generated revenues totaling $80,691 during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and $25,554 during the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Total operating expenses were $231,249 and $473,213 during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $644,055 and $1,069,710 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was due to a decrease in professional fees, general and administrative expenses and depreciation. The reduction in depreciation was due to a change in estimate of useful lives as discussed in Note 8. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $207,551 compared to $556,258 for the same period in 2019 and $722,001 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,256,412 for the same period in 2019.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In Financial Reporting release No. 60, “CAUTIONARY ADVICE REGARDING DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES” (“FRR 60”), the Securities and Exchange Commission suggested that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include: going concern, inventory, revenue recognition and finance leases payable. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates or foreign currencies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

While significant work is being done to improve the Company’s internal controls, there have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the current quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There were two lawsuits in Montgomery County, Ohio involving Tribus. The first was Tribus Enterprises, Inc. v. Dynamic Machine Works, LLC, et al., Montgomery County common Pleas Case No. CV 1393 (“Tribus Lawsuit”). The second was Dynamic Machine Works, LLC v Clark Trost, et al., Montgomery County Common Pleas Case No. 2019 CV 1753 (“Trost Lawsuit”). There was also additional litigation threatened by Dynamic Machine Works, LLC (“DMW”).

A. Tribus Lawsuit

Tribus filed the Tribus Lawsuit against DMW on April 1, 2019 and filed an amended complaint against DMW and one of its owners, Nathan Hake, on May 15, 2019. Those complaints asserted numerous claims against DMW and Hake arising from their manufacturing relationship. Tribus’ claims against DMW were for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and promissory estoppel. Tribus’ claims against Hake were for unjust enrichment, fraud, promissory estoppel, conversion, and tortious interference.

Tribus’ claim in the Tribus Lawsuit alleged that Hake and DMW misrepresented their expertise and ability in order to obtain the contract to manufacture Tribus’ wrenches. DMW then received $402,000 from Tribus as part of that contract, and ultimately failed to produce any functional wrenches. Tribus’ claims sought the return of the $402,000 paid to DMW, together with any equipment and tooling purchased by Tribus or with Tribus’ funds that continued to be held by DMW or Hake.

DMW filed counterclaims against Tribus in the Tribus Lawsuit. DMW sued Tribus for breach of contract, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, breach of ND/NCA, theft of trade secrets, tortious interference with prospective and actual business relationships, unjust enrichment, conversion, breach of duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and breach of lease agreement.

DMW’s claims against Tribus primarily asserted that Tribus stole DMW’s confidential information and trade secrets. Namely, the programming and manufacturing process for the wrenches. DMW also asserted that it was Tribus who breached the contract with DMW. DMW’s counterclaims against Tribus center on Tribus’ decision to terminate its relationship with DMW and enter into an agreement with Clark Trost for the manufacture of the wrenches instead. Trost had been an independent contractor hired by DMW to help DMW manufacture Tribus’ wrenches. DMW’s counterclaims requested judgement in excess of $2 million.

The Tribus Lawsuit was filed primarily to compel the return of nearly $1.2 million in manufacturing equipment purchased or leased by Tribus and being held at DMW’s facility in Englewood, Ohio. That objective was largely accomplished with the return of the vast majority of the equipment on April 24th, 2019, following a motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed on Tribus’ behalf.

None of the above actions name the officers or directors of Tribus individually.

B. Trost Lawsuit

In addition to its counterclaims against Tribus, DMW filed a separate lawsuit against Clark Trost and two companies he owns, Trost Technologies, Inc. and CNC Holsters, LLC (collectively “Trost”). Tribus signed and engagement letter with McNamee & McNamee, PLL agreeing to be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and costs of representing Trost in the Trost Lawsuit as well.

DMW’s claims against Trost are for breach of ND/NCA, theft of trade secrets, tortious interference with prospective and actual business relations, unjust enrichment, conversion, breach of duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and breach of oral sub-lease agreement. DMW’s complaint in the Trost Lawsuit sought damages in excess of $2 million.

The crux of DMW’s claims in the Trost Lawsuit mirrored its counterclaims in the Tribus Lawsuit. In essence, DMW maintains that Tribus and Trost conspired to steal the programming and manufacturing information for Tribus’ wrenches----which DMW claims to be its confidential information and trade secrets----to terminate their relationships with DMW and enter into business together to manufacture the wrenches without DMW.

The Company settled each lawsuit on June 19, 2020 that required a cash settlement totaling $140,750 to be paid by Tribus to DMW. In exchange for the cash payment, the Company was able to recover some materials in DMW’s possession and was provided clear rights to utilize the intellectual property developed throughout the prior relationship with DMW. This amount was accrued for during the year ended March 31, 2020. The settlement was paid in full on June 19, 2020.
