Note 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On October 2, 2018, Contract Pharmacal Corp. (“Contract Pharmacal”) commenced an action, relating to a Sublease entered into between the Company and Contract Pharmacal in May 2018 with respect to the property that was formerly occupied by the Company’s former subsidiary WMI, at 110 Plant Avenue, Hauppauge, New York. In the action, Contract Pharmacal sought damages for an amount in excess of $1,000,000 for the Company’s alleged violation of the terms of the subject sublease, specifically the failure to make the entire premises available by the Sublease commencement date. The validity of the action is extremely suspect in that the subject sublease had no specific commencement date and Contract Pharmacal ultimately received all the space. Discovery was conducted and the Plaintiff moved for summary judgement and to amend its complaint to add a new cause of action all of which the company opposed.  On July 8, 2021, the Court denied Contract Phamacal’s motion for summary judgement and to add an additional cause of action. In the Order, the Court granted Contract Pharmacal’s Motions to drop its claim for specific performance and to amend its Complaint to reduce its claim for damages to $700,000 both of which benefit the Company. Following the Court’s decision, Contract Pharmacal filed a Motion to reargue its original motion which the Company again opposed.  The Court denied that motion on November 30, 2021 and then on March 10, 2022, Contract Pharmacal filed an appeal of the Court’s decision with the Appellate Division of the State of New York. Once again, the Company opposed that action.  The Company was again successful as the Appellate Division upheld the lower court’s denial of Contract Pharmacal’s motion for summary judgement and its motion to amend its Complaint.  Contract Pharmacal has now submitted a motion to the Appellate Division requesting leave to reargue the court’s denial of its original appeal.  The Company will oppose that motion to reargue.   The Company continues to dispute the validity of the claims asserted by Contract Pharmacal and intends to contest them vigorously. We anticipate that due to this newest action by Contract Pharmacal nothing of consequence will happen over the next twelve months.
