NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into an independent contractor master services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Luceon, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, owned by our former Chief Technology Officer, David Ponevac. The Services Agreement provided that Luceon would provide support services including management, coordination or software development services and related services to duos. In January 2019, additional services were contracted with Luceon for TrueVue360™ primarily for software development through the provision of seven additional full-time contractors located in Slovakia at a cost of $16,250 for January initially, rising to $25,583 after fully staffed, per month starting February 2019. This was in addition to the existing contract of $7,480 per month for duos for four full-time contractors which increased to $8,231 per month in June of 2019. During 2020 efforts in reducing cost, Luceon reduced its staff for the TrueVue360 software development team from a staff of seven to three full-time employees at a cost of $11,666 per month starting June 1, 2020. On May 14, 2021, the Company formally ended its relationship with Luceon in concert with the resignation of our Chief Technology Officer and as such there is no longer a related party relationship. As of January 1, 2021, the Company no longer records activities in TrueVue360 and has combined billings for a total of $20,986 per month. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the total amount expensed is zero 0 and $93,422, respectively. The Company had no open accounts payable with Luceon at June 30, 2022.
