Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Wizshop.com, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, filed a lawsuit against
Earthlink Network, Inc. and Earthlink Operations, Inc. (collectively
"Earthlink") on April 15, 2002 in the California Superior Court. This suit
alleges eight causes of action against Earthlink, including breach of written
agreement, promissory fraud, fraudulent concealment, breach of fiduciary duty,
constructive fraud, unfair business practices, accounting and constructive
trust. The suit arises out of Earthlink's breach of the written agreement with
Wizshop, and Earthlink's apparent acts of fraud in connection with Earthlink's
failure and refusal to accurately account for and pay to Wizshop revenues to
which Wizshop is entitled to under the agreement. We are seeking monetary
damages for the above matter. On May 19, 2003, the parties reached a settlement
and signed a settlement and mutual general release agreement, in which Earthlink
agreed to pay to WizShop a total sum of $210,000.
Semotus and WizShop were dismissed with prejudice on March 7, 2003 from a class
action lawsuit brought by the California Teachers' Retirement System in November
of 2002.
We are also a party to other legal proceedings in the normal course of business.
Based on evaluation of these matters and discussions with counsel, we believe
that any potential liabilities arising from these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to the Company's stockholders for consideration during
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003.
