Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
American Antibiotics, LLC, a majority owned subsidiary of GeoPharma, has reached
agreement with Consolidated Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. ("CPG"), the directors of
CPG and two other individuals acting on behalf of CPG (collectively, "CPG
Parties") and entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement
("Settlement Agreement") and other documents (collectively, hereinafter referred
to as "Settlement Documents") on September 4, 2009 settling all claims against
the other.
The litigation arose from and relates to certain agreements entered into between
American Antibiotics and CPG, whereby American Antibiotics acquired certain
business assets of CPG for the production of Beta-Lactam Antibiotics as well as
all CPG's rights, title and interest in various pharmaceutical Abbreviated New
Drug Applications ("ANDAs") associated with a Baltimore, Maryland manufacturing
facility owned and formerly operated by CPG dedicated for the production of
Beta-Lactam Antibiotics ("Facility") under an ANDA Sale and Purchase Agreement
("ASPA") dated February 7, 2005, and entered into a lease for the Baltimore
Facility dated July 19, 2005 (the "Lease").

ASPA & Lease with certain misrepresentations related to the ANDA's and failed to
perform all the required improvements and modifications to the Facility under
the Lease. Consolidated with American Antibiotic's lawsuit was a separate action
filed against it by CPG, alleging that American Antibiotics failed to pay rent
due and owing under the Lease.
