NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies — Loss Contingencies. A liability is accrued when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, where determinable, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and may be subject to third-party infringement claims. In the normal course of business, the Company may agree to indemnify third parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

The Company has agreed, under certain conditions, to hold these third parties harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, other third-party claims that the Company’s products, when used for their intended purposes, infringe the intellectual property rights of such other third parties, or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim.

On March 15, 2023, the Company was named as a defendant in CAUSE NO. 29 D05-2303-PL-002478, originally filed in Hamilton County, Indiana and subsequently moved to Marion County as CAUSE NO. 49 D02-2305-PL-020604. This is an employment action alleging breach of employment agreement; breach of stock purchase agreement; breach of fiduciary duties and non-payment of salary, bonuses, and benefits. Although the settlement demand includes unpaid salary and stock awards of approximately $29 million, the Company does not believe a loss is probable, and the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, at this time. No motions are pending, and depositions are underway. No accrual has been recorded as of June 30, 2026.

On September 9, 2025, John Doan and Jami Town named the Company as a defendant in Case No. CL25-3626, pending in Virginia State Court. Doan and Town claim the Company is in breach of contract for loans made to AirBox. The loans were extended to AirBox before the Company purchased its assets in 2023. The Company explicitly acquired only the assets of AirBox and therefore does not believe it is liable for any of its previous liabilities. The Plaintiff’s originally alleged damages and fees total $45,082. They have a current demand of $175,000 which the Company has declined. The Company has filed for removal from the claim. This case was remanded from Federal Court back to Virginia State Court. Since this matter is still in its initial stages, the Company is unable to predict the outcome at this time. No accrual has been recorded as of June 30, 2026.

On October 2, 2025, the Company was the plaintiff in a lawsuit Case No. 1:2025cv02026 filed in federal court in the Southern District of Indiana for misappropriation of US federal and Indiana trade secrets. The defendants are former consultants, Myron Wright, an individual, and Wright Flyer Consulting Group Inc., a Kentucky corporation. The Company is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and costs as well as permanent injunctive relief against the defendants requiring the immediate cessation of all transactions utilizing the Company’s Trade Secrets and return of materials constituting the Trade Secrets. Taft, Stettinius & Hollister, LLP is representing the Company in the matter. The Company is the plaintiff in this matter, no loss contingency has been recorded.
