NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Office Lease

 

We lease administrative and distribution facilities in Boca Raton, Florida pursuant to a 45 month non-cancelable operating lease expiring in 2013.  The lease stipulates, among other things, base monthly rents of $5,443 plus our share of monthly estimated operating expenses of $3,500 and sales tax.  We plan to lease different facilities but have not signed a new lease. The hold over provision of our current lease allows the landlord to charge 200% of the existing lease until the Company extends the lease or vacates the facilities.

 

The rental expense related to our current lease totaled $31,211 and $28,459 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Future minimum rental payments through June 30, 2013 total $16,329.

 

Litigation

 

We are party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions related to our intellectual property. While it is not feasible to determine the actual outcome of these actions at this time, we do not believe that these matters, including those described below, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Aceto Corporation

On November 13, 2012, Aceto Corporation filed a lawsuit against TherapeuticsMD and Boca Green in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking to enjoin us from using the Quatrefolic product and trademarks, among other things. Based on our initial assessment of the case which is in the pre-discovery stage, we believe that the case is without merit and, as a result, should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Avion Pharmaceuticals, LLC

On November 30, 2012, Avion Pharmaceuticals, LLC, filed a lawsuit against TherapeuticsMD and Boca Green in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia seeking to enjoin us from using the Prena1 name, among other things. Based on our initial assessment of the case which is in the early discovery stage, we believe that the case is without merit and, as a result, should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
