Litigation

On November 3, 2023, the Company received a demand letter alleging breaches relating to covenants and demanded payments of $7,500 in contingent consideration related to a previously completed business combination. On November 30, 2023, the Company responded to the demand letter, denying that any breach occurred or that the party is entitled to any damages. There have been no further developments on this matter. The Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of a potential loss, if any, on this matter. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the claims made in the demand letter.

In addition to the foregoing matter, from time to time, the Company may be a party to routine claims or litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business. These may include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, contract law, tax, regulatory, distribution arrangements, employee relations and other matters. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of these matters and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible losses can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company continues to reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.

Royalty Agreement

The Company has entered into license agreements to use certain technology in its design and manufacture of its products. The agreements require royalty fees for each semiconductor sold using the licensed technology. Total royalty expense incurred in connection with these contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $661 and $1,524, respectively. Total royalty expense incurred in connection with these contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1,846 and $2,956. These expenses are included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accrued royalties of $662 and $789 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, respectively.

Tax Distributions

To the extent the Company has funds legally available, the Board of Directors will approve distributions to each member of ADK LLC, prior to March 15 of each year, in an amount per unit that, when added to all other distributions made to such member with respect to the previous calendar year, equals the estimated federal and state income tax liabilities applicable to such member as the result of its, his or her ownership of the units and the associated net taxable income allocated with respect to such units for the previous calendar year. There were no distributions approved by the Board of Directors or paid by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
