NOTE 11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On November 4, 2016, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court Western District of Pennsylvania, number 16-1669. In the complaint, the FTC alleges, that, among other matters, the Company does not have substantiation of claims made by the Company regarding the R value and energy efficiency of its INSULTEX House Wrap products. The complaint asks as redress of rescission of revenue the Company received from the sale of House Wrap and a permanent injunction. The parties are currently in the expert discovery phase. Expert depositions were completed in June 2018.

 

The Company strongly denies the allegation and intends to vigorously defend itself. It is the Company’s belief that the complaint is based on improper testing of the INSULTEX products using the wrong type of testing equipment.
