Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 4, 2005, Integrated Tek Solutions, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, alleging breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and promissory estoppel. We received notice of the suit on April 14, 2005. The action arises out of a letter of intent pursuant to which a predecessor to the plaintiff, Yasup, LLC, and Computer Software Innovations, Inc. (CSI-South Carolina) conducted negotiations relating to a potential acquisition of CSI-South Carolinas capital stock by Yasup, LLC. Until it merged into us in February 2005, CSI-South Carolina was a privately-held South Carolina corporation. The exact amount of damages claimed in the suit is unclear based on the complaint, but apparently ranges from approximately $30 million to $45 million as to all defendants.
Several of our officers and directors are named as individual defendants in the suit. These include Nancy Hedrick, CEO and Director; Joe Black, interim CFO; Thomas Clinton, Vice President of Sales and Director; Beverly Hawkins, Secretary and Vice President of Support Services; and William Buchanan, Treasurer and Vice President of Engineering. Ms. Hedrick and Ms. Hawkins and Messrs. Black, Clinton and Buchanan were also officers, directors and the shareholders of CSI-South Carolina. The other two defendants in the suit are Alan Marullier and The Geneva Companies, Inc., against whom claims for tortious interference with contractual relations and aiding and abetting a fraud are asserted. CSI-South Carolina and its shareholders engaged Geneva, of which Mr. Marullier is a Managing Director, to assist CSI-South Carolina in its sale.
We believe that the plaintiffs claims are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend the action.
