12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In March 2019, we filed a Notice of Arbitration in Hong Kong against Ragentek as a result of its failure to perform its obligations under a purchase order with us.  The relief sought is $4.0 million dollars plus interest and arbitration costs.  At this time we cannot predict the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

We are subject to various claims and pending or threatened lawsuits in the normal course of business. We are not currently party to any legal proceedings that management believes are reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase commitments

At December 31, 2019, we have $8.5 million in open purchase obligations that represent commitments to purchase inventory, materials, capital equipment, and other goods used in the normal operation of our business.
