COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature including the proceeding noted below.  While management believes the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations or cash flows, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur that could include amounts in excess of any accruals which management has established.  Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, it is possible that they could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

A competitor has filed a lawsuit against AptarGroup, Inc. alleging that certain processes utilized by AptarGroup, Inc. in the manufacture of a specific type of diptube infringe patents owned by the counterparty. This lawsuit seeks an exclusion order barring the manufacture of this specific diptube.  The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against the suit and we do not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable.  Therefore, no accrual has been recorded related to this matter.

Under its Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at its request in such capacity.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers a portion of its exposure.  As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.  The Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2011.
