9. 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 $106,000 per year for account management services and variable charges for other warehousing services based on specified activities, including shipping charges. The current warehousing contract expired on October 31, 2025. We are in the process of renewing the warehousing contract.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we expensed $2.0 million, $2.2 million, and $2.7 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 $1.4 million, $1.5 million, and $1.9 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 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 revenue 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, 2025, we had open purchase commitments totaling $4.5 million for products and services to be delivered primarily in fiscal 2026.

Self-Insurance Liabilities

We self-insure for certain associate medical benefits. The recorded liabilities for self-insured risks are calculated using actuarial methods and are not discounted. These liabilities include amounts for actual claims and claims incurred but not

reported. Actual experience, including claim frequency and severity as well as health care inflation, could result in actual liabilities being more or less than amounts currently recorded. We have accrued $1.1 million and $1.0 million for associate medical claims at August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included as components of accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We maintain stop-loss coverage for our self-insurance plan which is capped at $0.2 million per individual.

Letter of Credit

At August 31, 2025 and 2024, we had a standby letter of credit for $10,000. Nothing was drawn on this letter of credit at either August 31, 2025 or August 31, 2024.

Legal Matters and Loss Contingencies

Franklin Saltlake LLC, the landlord (the Landlord) for leased premises which housed the Company’s corporate offices previously located at 2200 West Parkway Blvd, Salt Lake City, Utah, filed suit on December 20, 2024, in Third District Court, Salt Lake County, Utah, alleging that we have breached the lease by failing to make certain repairs and replacements to equipment on the premises.  The Landlord originally sought approximately $2.3 million in damages and a right to enter the premises to make the alleged repairs.  The Landlord filed an amended complaint on February 11, 2025, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss on February 25, 2025, which was subsequently denied by the court.  In April 2025, the Landlord increased its damage claim to $3.8 million.  The Company vacated the premises on June 30, 2025; however, the Landlord contends that the Company is in holdover.  The Landlord filed a supplemental complaint on September 18, 2025, alleging approximately $5 million in damages as well as claims for declaratory relief. The Company denies all material allegations; contends that the premises and associated equipment remain in sound operating condition and use, that no such repairs are warranted or needed, and that the Landlord’s demands are contrary to the language of the Lease and reasonable commercial practice.  The Company answered the most recent complaint and filed a counterclaim on October 2, 2025, asserting claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory relief.  The case is currently in discovery.  While we intend to vigorously defend, given the early stages of litigation, any outcome remains uncertain.
