manufacturing of Avitene. From March 1988 through approximately
June 1988, Mr. Perez spent approximately 75 percent of his time
visiting Alcon P.R.’s Avitene manufacturing operation, making
sure that the operation was running smoothly and aiding the
anticipated transfer of that operation to MedChem P.R. He spent
the remainder of his time during that period on MedChem P.R.’s
effort to establish its own Avitene manufacturing facility in
Puerto Rico. During the remainder of his employment by MedChem
P.R., Mr. Perez spent approximately 70 percent of his time
working on MedChem P.R.’s proposed facility and the rest of his
time on Alcon P.R.’s Avitene manufacturing operation and the
daily operation of MedChem P.R.’s Humacao office.
Mr. Perez was the only employee that MedChem P.R. ever had
during the relevant years. MedChem P.R. did hire three
independent contractors (Carlos Moya, Maria Pastrana, and Wanda
Rodriguez) to assist Mr. Perez in the Humacao office. Ms.
Pastrana and Mr. Moya worked in the office during 1989, and Wanda
Rodriguez worked in the office from October 1989 to June 1990.
Mr. Moya was a materials coordinator, and Ms. Pastrana and her
successor, Ms. Rodriguez, were administrative secretaries.
MedChem P.R. directly paid these three individuals and issued to
them Forms 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, reporting these
payments as nonemployee compensation.
