Despite this situation, we have not had any shortages on raw materials, and do not project to have any issues fulfilling future orders. We have no firm and irrevocable commitments that will be affected by the war in Ukraine, and we will continue to assess the impact the war may have on our business. The Company entered into a five-year supply agreement with Millcorp, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to obtain at least 80% of the Company’s annual requirements of common wheat, durum wheat, or any other cereal, from Millcorp. The agreement expired on March 31, 2023 and was subsequently amended to extend an additional three years through March 31, 2026.

When applicable, the Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Defense costs are expensed as incurred and are included in professional fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred expenses and losses of $4,708 related to damages caused by the non-conforming quality of imported wheat. Our insurance policies provide coverage and reimbursement for expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. We are currently working closely with our claims adjusters to ascertain the amount of insurance recoveries due to us. Independent experts have confirmed the damages for the Company in presence of the insurance company. As the Company deems it probable that the proceeds will be recovered, the amounts due to us are recorded as “Insurance recoveries” within current assets– Refer to the note 6, Prepaid expenses and other current assets.
