RoxSan Dissolution
On May 14, 2018, pursuant to unanimous resolutions of the boards of directors of RoxSan Pharmacy, Inc. and Parallax Health Sciences, Inc., RoxSan filed a Chapter 7 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Court”). Mr. Timothy Yoo was appointed trustee (“Trustee”) on May 15, 2018. In connection with this filing, RoxSan seeks to discharge approximately $5 million of liabilities owed to various parties, and intercompany loans in excess of $1 million owed to Parallax. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding by RoxSan Pharmacy, Inc. was fully discharged and the case was closed on March 13, 2019, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California.
Due to, among other things, the reduction in RoxSan’s cash flows during 2016 and 2017, RoxSan became delinquent in its payroll tax depository obligations, resulting in a liability owed to federal and state taxing agencies in the aggregate of $1,148,811, which includes $601,148 in taxes withheld from employees (“Trust Fund Taxes”), employer taxes of $183,172, and penalties and interest of $364,491 through December 31, 2018. The liability was included as part of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, and certain portions of the liability may be discharged. However, in accordance with California bankruptcy laws, federal and state Trust Fund Taxes are not dischargeable. The Company has retained a tax resolution specialist and is in communications with the taxing agencies in order to resolve RoxSan’s liability. During the year ended December 31, 2019, payments for Trust Fund Taxes in the amount of $485,498 were made, and $115,650 in Trust Fund Taxes were outstanding at December 31, 2019.
