HARROW, INC. 10-Q

Item 1. Legal Proceedings Novel Drug Solutions et al. In April 2018, Novel Drug Solutions, LLC and Eyecare Northwest, PA, (collectively “NDS”) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware asserting claims for breach of contract. The claims stem from an asset purchase agreement between us and NDS entered into in 2013. In July 2019, NDS filed a second amended complaint which added a claim related to its purported termination of the APA. In October 2019, NDS voluntarily dismissed all claims related to breach of contract, leaving only claims related to the scope of the post termination obligations to be litigated. NDS is seeking unspecified damages, interest, attorney’s fees and other costs. We believe the claims are meritless and have previously and will continue to dispute all claims asserted against us and intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. Nonetheless, we cannot predict the eventual outcome of this litigation and it could result in substantial costs, losses and a diversion of management’s resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the value of its common stock. Product and Professional Liability Product and professional liability litigation represents an inherent risk to all firms in the pharmaceutical and pharmacy industry. We utilize traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product and professional liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects current market conditions, including cost and availability, when the policy is written. John Erick et al. In January 2018, John Erick and Deborah Ferrell, successors-in-interest and heirs of Jade Erick, (collectively “Erick”) filed a lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior against Kim Kelly, ND, MPH asserting claims related to death of Jade Erick. In April 2018, Erick filed an amendment to the lawsuit, naming us as a co-defendant. In September 2018, co-defendant Dr. Kelly filed a cross-complaint against us and various Spectrum entities. The cross-complaint seeks indemnity and contribution from us and Spectrum. We answered the claims filed by Dr. Kelly in October 2018. The case is currently in the discovery phase. Erick is seeking unspecified damages, interest, attorney’s fees and other costs. We believe the claims are meritless and have previously and will continue to dispute all claims asserted against us and intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. Nonetheless, we cannot predict the eventual outcome of this litigation and it could result in substantial costs, losses and a diversion of management’s resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the value of its common stock. General and Other In the ordinary course of business, we may face various claims brought by third parties and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject us to litigation.
