Litigation

 

On June 13, 2013, Fresh Start Private Florida, LLC (“FSPF”) filed a complaint against the Company alleging breach of a License Agreement whereby FSPF was to receive, implant, use, sell and otherwise commercialize the Naltrexone implant product and the Fresh Start Alcohol Rehabilitation Program throughout the state of Florida. The complaint alleged that the Company made certain misrepresentations and failed to provide certain operational documentation pursuant to the License Agreement. (Fresh Start Private Florida, LLC v. Fresh Start Private Management, Inc., Case No. 13-CA 1850, Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida). The Company filed a response and a counterclaim against FSPF and its managing partner, Timothy Jackoboice, for breach of the License Agreement for failure to promote and advertise the services as agreed upon under the Agreement. The Company is seeking relief in the form of damage and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend the suit and pursue its counterclaims against FSPF. The outcome is uncertain and any amounts related to this litigation are not estimable.
