Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies (a) Commitments The Company has commitments for future payments related to office facilities leases, as well as other contractual obligations primarily related to minimum payments due to outside service providers. The Company leases its office facilities under operating lease agreements in accordance with ASC 842 and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term with any lease incentive amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Future minimum payments are approximately as follows:

1) For additional information regarding the Company's facilities operating leases, see Note 3. Leases of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. (b) Contingencies In the third quarter of 2021, the Company was legally released from our repayment obligation under CARES Act loans (the "Loans") administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), as our application for loan forgiveness was approved by the SBA. It is possible that the SBA could subsequently audit the forgiven Loans. The Company believes it was eligible to receive the Loans, calculated the loan amounts correctly, spent loan proceeds on allowable uses and is entitled to loan forgiveness. The Company will retain its financial documents relating to the Loans for six years as required. The Company from time to time is a party to disputes and legal and administrative proceedings arising from the ordinary course of business. We could become in the future subject to legal proceedings, governmental investigations, and claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims, contract-related claims, and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could force us to expend significant financial and managerial resources and could be material. See (p) Guarantees section of Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information On October 21, 2022, the Shareholder Representatives for the former shareholders of Telmetrics, Inc. (an entity acquired by the Company in 2018) filed litigation against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiffs are asserting claims under a share purchase agreement and escrow agreement regarding entitlement to an earnout of up to $3.0 million and $1.0 million that was placed in escrow to secure indemnification obligations. On March 22, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also seeking substantial punitive damages, followed by a second amended complaint on May 9, 2023. On June 7, 2023, the Company filed a motion to compel arbitration and/or dismiss the second amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed a responsive brief on July 5, 2023, and the Company filed a reply brief on July 26, 2023. On February 2, 2024, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation advising the U.S. District Court Judge to dismiss certain claims from the second amended complaint and to allow other claims to proceed to discovery. The parties filed objections to the report and recommendation on February 16, 2024. While we believe we have meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and are vigorously defending against it, litigation is inherently uncertain and we cannot currently predict the ultimate outcome of this matter. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims which are pending that the Company believes, based on current knowledge, will have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
