Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] |
Commitments And Contingencies | 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Warehouse Outsourcing Contract We have a warehousing services agreement with an independent warehouse and distribution company to provide product kitting, warehousing, and order fulfillment services at a facility in Des Moines, Iowa. Under the terms of this contract, we pay a fixed charge of approximately $102,000 per year for account management services and variable charges for other warehousing services based on specified activities, including shipping charges. This warehousing contract expired on September 30, 2023. We are currently in the process of negotiating a new warehousing contract with this services provider. During fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we expensed $2.7 million, $2.5 million, and $2.1 million for services provided under the terms of our warehouse and distribution outsourcing contract. The total amount expensed each year includes freight charges, which are billed to us based upon activity. Freight charges included in the warehouse and distribution outsourcing costs totaled $1.9 million, $1.7 million, and $1.4 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Because of the variable component of the agreement, our payments for warehouse and distribution services may fluctuate in the future due to changes in sales and levels of specified activities. Purchase Commitments During the normal course of business, we issue purchase orders to various vendors for products and services. At August 31, 2023, we had open purchase commitments totaling $3.3 million for products and services to be delivered primarily in fiscal 2024. Letter of Credit At August 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a standby letter of credit for $10,000. No thing was drawn on this letter of credit at either August 31, 2023 or August 31, 2022. Legal Matters and Loss Contingencies We are the subject of certain legal actions, which we consider routine to our business activities. At August 31, 2023, we believe that, after consultation with legal counsel, any potential liability to us under these other actions will not materially affect our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
