Note D – Litigation/Legal Matters
 
In February 2016, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Columbia County against Premier Biotech Inc., Premier Biotech Labs, LLC and its principals, including its President Todd Bailey, and Peckham Vocational Industries, Inc. (together the “Defendants”). Mr. Bailey formerly served as the Company’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and as a sales consultant until December 23, 2016. The complaint seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions and a temporary restraining order against Todd Bailey (for his benefit or the benefit of another party or entity) related to the solicitation of Company customers as well as damages related to any profits and revenues that would result from actions taken by the Defendants related to Company customers. In March 2017, the complaint was moved to the federal court in the Northern District of New York. In April 2017, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, to which the Company responded on April 21, 2017. As of the date of this report, the Company is awaiting the courts rulings on the parties’ motions.
 
In addition, from time to time, the Company may be named in legal proceedings in connection with matters that arise during the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted, if we are unsuccessful in defending any such litigation, the resulting financial losses could have an adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. We are aware of no significant litigation loss contingencies for which management believes it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
