Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS | 11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS Our bylaws, as amended, in effect provide that the Company will indemnify its officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we make similar indemnity undertakings to each director through a separate indemnification agreement with that director. The maximum payment that we may be required to make under such provisions is theoretically unlimited and is impossible to determine. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which may provide reimbursement to the Company for payments made to, or on behalf of, officers and directors pursuant to the indemnification provisions. Our indemnification obligations were grandfathered under the provisions of Codification Topic 460, Guarantees. Accordingly, we have recorded no liability for such obligations as of September 30, 2021. Since our incorporation, we have had no occasion to make any indemnification payment to any of our officers or directors for any reason. The development, manufacturing and marketing of animal health care products entails an inherent risk that liability claims will be asserted against us during the normal course of business. We are aware of no such claims against us as of the date of this filing. We feel that we have reasonable levels of liability insurance to support our operations. We enter into agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business under which we are obligated to indemnify such third parties from and against various risks and losses. The precise terms of such indemnities vary with the nature of the agreement. In many cases, we limit the maximum amount of our indemnification obligations, but in some cases those obligations may be theoretically unlimited. We have not incurred material expenses in discharging any of these indemnification obligations, and based on our analysis of the nature of the risks involved, we believe that the fair value of the liabilities potentially arising under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have recorded no liabilities for such obligations as of September 30, 2021. We are committed to purchasing certain key parts (syringes) and services (formulation, aseptic filling and final packaging of Drug Product) pertaining to Re-Tain®, our Nisin-based intramammary treatment of subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows, exclusively from contractors. We are investing in the necessary equipment to perform the Drug Product formulation and aseptic filling services in-house. During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a Severance Agreement with our President and CEO. Under the terms of this agreement, we agree to pay this executive (or his estate) nine months of his then current salary plus any accrued and unused paid time off in the event of the involuntary termination of his employment by the Company (except for cause) or in the event of termination by him for good reason. In addition to the commitments discussed above, we had committed $758,000 to increase our production capacity for the First Defense® product line, $465,000 to construct and equip our own Drug Product formulation and aseptic filling facility for Re-Tain®, $2,009,000 to the purchase of inventory, $58,000 to other capital expenditures and $533,000 to other obligations as of September 30, 2021.
