MGC Diagnostics Corporation On January 12, 2016, NeuroVirtual USA, Inc. commenced a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting breach of contract, anticipatory breach of contract, and fraud in the inducement. NeuroVirtual commenced the lawsuit after MGC, in a letter dated December 17, 2015, informed NeuroVirtual that MGC was rescinding a distribution agreement dated March 31, 2014 between NeuroVirtual and MGC because, among other things, NeuroVirtual failed to comply with applicable Minnesota law in connection with the distribution agreement. NeuroVirtual has alleged (i) damages of $1,055,120 for breach of contract, (ii) damages of $1,363,850 for anticipatory breach of contract; and (iii) damages of no less than $5.0 million for fraud in the inducement. MGC believes that its rescission of the distribution agreement was proper and that it has valid defenses to the NeuroVirtual claims.

The Company has not accrued any losses related to the litigation, including any purchase commitments due as of December 31, 2015, or accrued any related legal costs it has not yet incurred.
