  b. Litigation:

 

In July 2019, a former distributor filed a suit seeking damages from the Company’s subsidiary for pre-paid goods subject to the voluntary field action (from April 2014) amounting to €1,830,000 (which is approximately $2.0 million), or alternatively €1,024,000 (which is approximately $1.1 million). After considering the views of its legal counsel as well as other factors, the Company’s management believes that there is a reasonably possible likelihood of a loss from any related future proceedings would range from a minimal amount up to €1,830,000.

 

In July 2016, a service provider filed a suit seeking damages from the Company’s subsidiary amounting to $1,967,822. The Company’s subsidiary and the plaintiff have entered into a confidential settlement agreement in the amount of $600,000, and on April 24, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal, dismissing all claims in this action. On April 25, 2019, the court denied as moot all pending motions. The related increase in provision of $354,000 was recorded to “Research and development expense” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
