On September 24, 2012, we filed a lawsuit, captioned Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Clinical Supplies Management, Inc., Case No. 8:12-cv-01608 JST(AN) (C.D. Cal), against Clinical Supplies Management, Inc. (“CSM”), in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In 2010, we had contracted with CSM as our third-party vendor responsible for distribution of the blinded investigational product used in our bavituximab Phase IIb second-line NSCLC trial. As part of the routine collection of data in advance of an end-of-Phase II meeting with regulatory authorities, we discovered major discrepancies between some patient sample test results and patient treatment code assignments. Consequently, we filed this lawsuit against CSM alleging, among other causes of action, breach of contract, negligence, negligence per se, constructive fraud and negligent misrepresentation arising from CSM’s performance of its contracted services. We are seeking monetary damages. On June 5, 2014, CSM filed with the court a Notice of Motion and Motion for Partial Summary Judgment seeking partial summary judgment on our claims for damages on the grounds that the limitation of liability clauses contained in our master services agreement with CSM are valid and enforceable. Our opposition to CSM’s motion was filed with the court on June 23, 2014, and the hearing on the motion was held on July 28, 2014. On July 30, 2014, the court issued its order holding that the limitation of liability clause did not apply to our claims for active negligence, negligent misrepresentation and constructive fraud, but did apply to our causes of action for breach of contract, passive negligence and negligence per se. On March 27, 2015, CSM filed with the court a Notice of Motion and Motion for Partial Summary Judgment seeking partial summary judgment on our claims for damages on the grounds that the causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, negligent misrepresentation, and constructive fraud are barred by the economic loss doctrine, as well as that the causes of action for negligent misrepresentation and constructive fraud cannot be established as a matter of law. Our opposition to CSM’s motion was filed with the court on April 13, 2015 and CSM’s reply to our motion was filed on April 20, 2015. On June 22, 2015, the court issued its order granting CSM’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment.

On March 15, 2013, Crescent Heights R&D, LLC (“Crescent Heights”), filed a complaint against Boomerang in the State of Florida for fraud, breach of contract and specific performance, as well as equitable rescission which alleged an unspecified amount of damages in excess of the purchase price. Boomerang was subsequently granted a motion to remove this matter to federal court. On May 17, 2013, the court entered an order that our motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings be granted. The parties agreed to arbitrate the matter in front of the American Arbitration Association in November 2014. The dispute arose from a contract to provide a rack and rail automated parking system. Crescent Heights’ claims, Boomerang’s defenses and Boomerang’s affirmative claims all arose from the contract. On April 21, 2015, the arbitrator issued a Final Arbitration Award. The arbitrator denied Crescent Heights’ claims of fraud in the inducement, equitable rescission based on fraud, and declaratory relief to strike the limitation of liability clause, but found Boomerang in Breach of Contract. Crescent Heights was awarded damages of $1,197,890, plus attorneys’ fees and costs of $319,920, which Boomerang is required to pay in fiscal year 2015. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, Boomerang paid $1,036,452 of the award, attorneys’ fees and costs related to the arbitration and established a reserve of $481,358 for the remaining fees and costs.

In October 2009 Boomerang Systems entered into a Contract (the “Contract”) with Crescent Heights R&D, LLC (“Crescent Heights”) to provide a rack and rail-type automated parking system for Crescent Heights. In March 2013, Crescent Heights filed a state court Complaint against Boomerang in the State of Florida alleging Fraud in the Inducement, Equitable Rescission based on Fraud, Mutual Mistake, and Breach of Contract related to the automated parking system, and seeking the remedies of specific performance, rescission of the Contract, and a Declaratory Judgment regarding a limitation of liability clause, as well an unspecified amount of monetary damages in excess of the Contract’s purchase price. Boomerang and Crescent Heights agreed to arbitrate the matter in Miami, Florida with the American Arbitration Association. In arbitration, Crescent Heights alleged an initial claim of $10,000,000, and later specified damages in a greater amount of $17,769,755.
