Litigation and Other Contingencies

 

As a provider of traffic engineering services, hardware products, software and other various solutions for the traffic and agricultural industries, the Company is, and may in the future from time to time, be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. While the Company cannot accurately predict the outcome of any such litigation, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Related Party Transaction

 

We previously assumed a sublease for office space occupied by Maxxess Systems, Inc. (“Maxxess”) after our predecessor company sold Maxxess Systems in September 2003. The sublease terminated in September 2007, at which time Maxxess owed us an aggregate of $274,000. Maxxess executed a promissory note for such amount, which was subsequently amended and restated on July 23, 2013, August 11, 2016 and on August 11, 2018. The amended and restated note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually, with accrued interest payable annually on the first business day of each calendar year. If authorized by the Company, Maxxess may pay down the balance of this note by providing consulting services to Iteris. We have previously fully reserved for amounts owed to us by Maxxess and the outstanding principal balance remains fully reserved.  As of September 30, 2019, approximately $146,000 of the original principal balance was outstanding and payable to Iteris and is due August 10, 2020. Maxxess is currently owned by an investor group that includes, among others,  one former Iteris director, who has not been a director of Iteris since September 2013, and one existing director of Iteris, who currently owns less than 2% of Maxxess’ capital stock.
