Recovery of Insurance Proceeds

During fiscal year 2022, a warehouse the Company had inventory in was damaged by fire and qualified for a loss recovery claim. The Company disposed of inventory of approximately $0.6 million. The Company reached an agreement with its insurance carrier and the Company received a cash insurance recovery of approximately $1.2 million for the
reimbursement of lost inventory and profit margin. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $0.6 million related to the recovery of lost profit margin and is included in the accompanying statements of operations as a reduction to cost of goods sold. No other insurance proceeds were received during the periods presented.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Where appropriate, the Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, however, for cases where liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, accruals have not been made. Management cannot presently predict the outcome of these matters, although management believes, based in part on the advice of counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has voluntarily self-reported to the SEC information concerning the internal investigation of the accounting matters described in the Explanatory Note and in Note 2. Restatement and Other Corrections of Previously Issued Financial Statements. As a result of self-reporting, the Company is the subject of an ongoing, non-public investigation by the SEC. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC in its investigation and continues to respond to requests in connection with this matter. The investigation could result in the SEC seeking various penalties and relief including, without limitation, civil injunctive relief and/or civil monetary penalties or administrative relief. The nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek with respect to the Company, if any, cannot be predicted at this time.
