Contingency On July 27, 2010, we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement with C-Motech (the “Agreement”), under which we agreed to repurchase 3,370,356 shares of our Common Stock from C-Motech for $3,500,000. A total of 1,803,684 shares were repurchased on the date of the Agreement in exchange for non-cash consideration in the amount of $1,873,065, which represented amounts owed to the Company by C-Motech for certain marketing funds as well as the settlement of a price dispute for products previously purchased by the Company from C-Motech. Under the Agreement, the remaining 1,566,672 shares were to be repurchased by us upon payment of the balance, $1,626,935, on or before December 31, 2010. On January 28, 2011 (the “Amendment Date”) the Agreement was amended to reflect (1) a change in the date the 1,566,672 shares are to be repurchased from C-Motech from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and (2) a change to the non-cash consideration of $1,873,065. In exchange for the 1,803,684 shares, we were to pay cash to C-Motech (in the same amount) for the shares, by March 31, 2011. In addition, in a separate agreement dated January 28, 2011, C-Motech agreed to pay us $1,873,065, for amounts owed, by March 31, 2011. The purpose of these revisions was to more clearly differentiate each party’s payment obligations to the other with respect to this transaction. Following the Amendment Date, we paid C-Motech $1,873,065 in exchange for the 1,803,684 shares previously transferred to us by C-Motech, and C-Motech paid us $1,873,065 for amounts owed, of which $1,581,457 was booked to other income and $291,608 was booked to cost of goods sold. The repurchase of the remaining 1,566,672 shares has not been completed. We have provided formal notification to C-Motech that it is in breach of its obligations and we have also provided a demand to sell the shares back to us. We have attempted to tender payment for the shares without results, and we are unable to determine whether or not this repurchase will take place. We have been advised that there are two individuals who claim to have purchased the shares from C-Motech through its former CEO; however, the authority of the former CEO to agree to the sale of the shares is being disputed by C-Motech. It is our understanding that this matter is currently being adjudicated in U.S. and Korean courts. As of the date of this Report, C-Motech is the registered owner of certificates representing 1,566,672 shares, which were issued by the Company in C-Motech’s name. On May 7, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against C-Motech in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego for breach of the Agreement and breach of other contracts between the parties relating to indemnification and other obligations. Litigation We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. On December 10, 2010, Novatel Wireless, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, against us and one other defendant. The complaint alleges that certain products, including, but not limited to, mobile data hot spots and data modems, infringe on U.S. Patent Nos. 5,129,098; 7,318,225; 7,574,737 and 7,319,715. On April 13, 2012, the plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint which amended certain claims and added U.S. Patent No. 7,944,901 to the original complaint. On April 27, 2012, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint as to certain of the claims. On July 6, 2012, the Court held oral argument on the Motion to Dismiss and on July 19, 2012, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss. On August 2, 2012, we answered the complaint and an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference took place on October 31, 2012 and a follow-up Settlement Conference was held on June 12, 2013. Due to the preliminary nature of these proceedings, we do not believe an amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated for this matter. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations. On May 7, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against C-Motech Co., Ltd. in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego for breach of a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement we entered into with C-Motech On July 27, 2010. Under that Agreement we agreed to repurchase 3,370,356 shares of our Common Stock from C-Motech for $3,500,000. A total of 1,803,684 shares were repurchased on the date of the Agreement in exchange for non-cash consideration in the amount of $1,873,065, and the remaining 1,566,672 shares were to be repurchased by us upon payment of the balance, $1,626,935, on or before December 31, 2010. This date was extended to March 31, 2011 and certain other changes made by an Amendment to the Agreement, as more particularly described in Item 13 below. However, the repurchase of the remaining 1,566,672 shares was not completed, notwithstanding our formal demand to C-Motech to sell the shares back to us and our attempt to tender payment for the shares. Accordingly, the action seeks damages, specific performance and declaratory relief for breach of the Common Stock Repurchase Agreement. The action also seeks indemnification from C-Motech for breach of other contracts between the parties relating to indemnification and intentional interference with certain other contracts. On December 14, 2011, our officers and directors were named as defendants in an action filed by Sherman Capital Group LLC, Singer Children's Management Trust, David S. Oros, Milfam NG LLC and Lloyd I. Miller-Trust C (the “Sherman Group”) in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego. The complaint seeks damages and declaratory relief for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by our officers and directors in the management of the Company. The complaint does not specify an amount of damages. Our officers and directors are entitled to indemnity from the Company under the Company’s bylaws. On January 20, 2012, we filed a Notice of Removal from the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Following several motions and filings submitted to the Court by both parties, we answered the complaint in the United States District Court on April 10, 2012 and an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference took place on June 11, 2012. On September 19, 2012, we entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement and a Standstill Agreement, each with Sherman Capital Group, LLC; Karen Singer, Trustee Of Singer Children’s Management Trust; David S. Oros; Milfam NG LLC; and PNC Trust Company of Delaware, Trustee of Lloyd I. Miller – Trust C (the “Sherman Group”). Under the terms of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, we agreed to repurchase 1,538,602 shares of our Common Stock from the members of the Sherman Group for a purchase price of $2,831,028, or $1.84 per share, representing a premium of $440,000 from the market price on the date of the Agreement, which was recorded in operating expenses in the period ended June 30, 2012. In addition to the purchase price, a commission of $15,386 associated with this repurchase was recorded as a reduction of capital. Under the terms of the Standstill Agreement, the members of the Sherman Group agreed that they will not (i) acquire any Common Stock or other securities of the Company, (ii) make any tender offer with respect to securities of the Company, (iii) participate in any solicitation of proxies with respect to the Company, (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder) with respect to the securities of the Company, or (v) act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company. On September 27, 2012, we completed the repurchase of the shares of our Common Stock from the Sherman Group. On September 19, 2012, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with the Sherman Group. Under the terms of this Agreement, the parties agreed to file a request with the Court to dismiss this action, which was filed on October 2, 2012. On October 3, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an Order approving the voluntary dismissal, with prejudice, of the action filed by the Sherman Group. Change of Control Agreements On September 21, 2009 we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets. The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim is for three years and calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control; the agreement with Mr. Lee is for two years and calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control; and the agreement with Mr. Won is for two years and calls for a payment of $1 million upon a change of control. On September 16, 2011, the Board of Directors approved extending the Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, our Vice President, Engineering for an additional three years. Following this approval, the Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim will expire on September 21, 2015 and the Change of Control Agreements with Messrs. Lee and Won will expire on September 21, 2014.
