Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligation

LENSAR is a party to various supply agreements for the manufacture and supply of certain components. The supply agreements commit LENSAR to a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $7,586 over the next 15 months. LENSAR expects to meet these requirements.

Royalty Payments

The Company acquired certain intellectual property, which would result in royalty payments at a rate of 3% of certain revenue upon the phacoemulsification features being cleared for commercialization and operational in the ALLY System.

Employee Retention Credit

In March 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides for an employee retention credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes paid in 2020 and 2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company received a majority of the ERC. As such, the Company recorded $1,368 as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses, which represents the ERC net of professional fees.

Legal Matters

The medical device market in which LENSAR participates is largely technology driven. As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. The Company makes provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
