ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS
AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE





Related Party Transactions





In
February 2007, we entered into an agreement for our main resource
facilities in Dorado, Puerto Rico with Plaza Professional Center,
Inc., a company controlled by Elizabeth Plaza, our Chairman of the
Board. These facilities accommodate our testing laboratory (through
September 2018), our customer-specialized training facilities, and
our Puerto Rico consulting and headquarters offices. The agreement
is for a five year term, with initial monthly installments of
$18,750, which will increase by 5% annually. The agreement also
requires the payment of utilities, property taxes, insurance and a
portion of expenses incurredby the affiliate in connection with the
maintenance of common areas. The agreement provided for a renewal
option under the same terms, which became effective February 2012
for a period of five additional years. In July 2016, with effective
date January 1,2016, the Company renegotiated the lease agreement.
It incorporated additional space for a laboratory testing facility
expansion, is for a five-year term, with a renewal option of five
years, and monthly rental payments of $30,316 for the term of the
lease agreement and renewal option. The lease agreement also
requires the payment of utilities, property taxes, insurance and
expenses incurred by the affiliate in connection with the
maintenance of common areas. As
part of the Company’s sale of substantially all of its
laboratory business assets (“Laboratory Assets”) in
September 2018, this lease was amended to (i) allow the Company to
sublease to the Laboratory Assets purchaser (the
“Subtenant”) the laboratory leased space area, and (ii)
if Subtenant defaults under the sublease or terminates the
sublease, the Company shall have the option to either (a) terminate
the sublease and re-occupy the subleased premises pursuant to the
terms of the lease, or (b) modify the lease to terminate the lease
for the portion of the premises that is the subleased premises
only, without penalty. During the years ended
October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, we paid
approximately $374,674 and $363,800 to Plaza Professional Center,
Inc. in connection with the lease of these facilities.





Also,
see Employment Agreements and Consulting Agreement - Elizabeth
Plaza - Consulting Agreement above for a description of the
Consulting Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement we paid for
the year ended October 31, 2019, consulting fees, an incentive fee,
and company lease payments for the vehicle under Elizabeth
Plaza’s use in the amount of $404,400, $120,000 and $15,266,
respectively. Under the Consulting Agreement we paid for the year
ended October 31, 2018, consulting fees, an incentive fee, a bonus
and company lease payments for the vehicle under Elizabeth
Plaza’s use in the amount of $421,000, $120,000, $125,000 and
15,502, respectively.





On
November 28, 2014, Pharma-Bio PR entered into an Independent
Contractor Agreement with Nelida Plaza, Elizabeth Plaza’s sister, pursuant to which Ms. N.
Plaza provides independent services with project deliverables as
requested by Pharm-Bio PR at a rate ranging from $90 to $125 per

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING
FEES AND SERVICES





We were
billed by Crowe PR PSC (formerly known as Horwath Velez & Co.
PSC) (“Crowe”) in 2019 and 2018 as
follows:

Audit fees above are
professional services associated with the integrated audit of our
consolidated financial statements. Audit-related fees are primarily
attributable to services rendered in connection to reviews of our
quarterly condensed financial statements. Tax fees are attributable
to international tax compliance services. All other fees are
primarily attributable to retirement plan compliance audit
services.





Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible
Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors





The
Audit Committee’s policy
is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by the independent public accountants. These services may
include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and
other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one
year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service
or category of services and is generally subject to a specific
budget. Crowe and management are required to periodically report to
the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by
the independent public accountants in accordance with this
pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The
Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case
by case basis. The Audit Committee approved one hundred percent
(100%) of all services provided by Crowe during Fiscal 2019 and
2018.





The
Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees
billed by Crowe, and believes that the provision of the services
for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with
maintaining Crowe’s
independence.
