The fact is the validity of the license remains in dispute.

As recently as April 20, 2013, the Company stated the following in its 10K:

PlayBev reached a settlement with Playboy that would have provided for a new license, conditioned on bankruptcy court approval of PlayBev’s reorganization plan, PlayBev’s payment of $2.0 million to Playboy, and other provisions, but PlayBev was unable to obtain the funding needed to pay Playboy the initial amount or otherwise implement the reorganization plan, so the plan was abandoned and the settlement agreement and the new Playboy license did not become effective.

On December 6, 2012, the bankruptcy proceeding of PlayBev was dismissed, freeing PlayBev and, in turn, us to pursue our beverage distribution business without court supervision. However, the validity of the license from Playboy under which we conduct these activities remains in dispute.

Playboy has sought to terminate PlayBev’s license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks and has fought vigorously to obtain a judicial determination that the current license has been breached and is no longer in effect. We cannot assure that Playboy’s current aggressive pursuit of such a judicial determination in our pending Illinois litigation will not continue.

If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily to us through a negotiated settlement or the recently filed litigation, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the principal source of our revenues. Such termination may require us to cease our activities and seek protection from creditors.
