NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in any legal proceedings that may arise from time to time may harm the Company’s business. To the best of its knowledge, except for the legal proceedings disclosed below, there are no other material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
Employment-Related Litigation
On April 30, 2024, a former employee (the “Employee”) filed a class action complaint against the Company and Insperity, its third-party payroll service provider, in San Diego County Superior Court for various claims which he has purported to assert on behalf of himself and all other individuals who worked for the Company or Insperity, amended to include a representative action complaint for Violation of Private Attorneys’ General Act (“PAGA”), seeking an unspecified amount of penalties and attorneys’ fees based on allegations that the Company violated certain California employment laws.
A Motion to Compel Arbitration was granted and arbitration was scheduled for March 26, 2026 wherein the parties agreed to a settlement of $164,000.
Final settlement is subject to, among other things, court approval of such agreement. If the settlement does not obtain approval, the parties agree that the settlement class will be decertified without prejudice, and that all the parties will revert to their pre-settlement positions. A settlement agreement has been reached and agreed by both parties.
Lease Obligations
Operating Leases
On April 25, 2019 the Company signed a Standard Industrial/Commercial Multi-Tenant Lease with Accutek to rent approximately 45,600 square feet of industrial space at 2685 S. Melrose Drive, Vista, California. Under the terms of the original lease, the monthly rental rate escalates at 3% each year. The Company has since signed additional amendments and extensions, most recently an extension through November 2028. The Company rents 63,200 square feet of industrial space for a monthly rent of approximately $72,000.
On December 16, 2022, the Company signed a Lease Agreement with MM Parker Court Associates, LLC to rent approximately 4,900 square feet of office space at Building 1959 Parker Court, Suite E, Atlanta, Georgia, set to expire in April 2028, with the monthly rate increasing 5% each year. Currently, the Company pays a monthly rent of approximately $6,000.
Total rent expense was approximately $271,000 and $227,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Finance Leases
In August 2026, the Company exercised its option to purchase previously leased equipment for a payment of $20,000. As of September 30, 2026 the Company has two finance leases outstanding. Total finance lease expense was approximately $13,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Lease Commitments
Future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2026 are as follows:
Product Warranty Obligations
The Company provides product warranties for goods sold. Product warranties are negotiated separately with each customer. Generally, the Company’s product warranties have a five year term for electronics components and an eight year term for battery cells. Other product components have separate warranty periods, and all warranties are voided when the product is used outside certain defined limits.
The Company evaluates its exposure to product warranty obligations based on historical experience. As of September 30 and June 30, 2026, a warranty liability of approximately $2,712,000 and $2,811,000, respectively, is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Additionally, the Company granted a certain customer a five-year right of return for goods purchased as a percentage of the original purchase price upon return of the goods to the Company’s warehouse. Management believes that during the entire five-year period, the anticipated fair value of the purchased goods will exceed the amount committed as a refund, it therefore being disadvantageous for the customer to so exercise its right. As such, management neither presently expects, nor in the future will expect the customer to demand such a right of return and refund, and no liability was accrued on the condensed consolidated balance sheets therefor.
