Commitments and Contingencies
 
Financial Covenants
Effective
September
30,
2015,
the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Technology License and Escrow Agreement with Cord Blood Registry Systems, Inc. which modified the financial covenant that the Company must meet in order to avoid an event of default. The Company must maintain a cash balance and short-term investments net of debt or borrowed funds that are payable within
one
year of not less than
$2,000.
The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of
March
31,
2017.
 
Warranty
The Company offers a warranty on all of its non-disposable products of
one
to
two
years. The Company warrants disposable products through their expiration date. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
 
The warranty liability is included in other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The change in the warranty liability for the
nine
months ended
March
31,
2017
is summarized in the following table:

Contingency
In fiscal
2016,
the Company signed an engagement letter with a strategic consulting firm. Included in the engagement letter was a success fee due upon the successful conclusion of a number of defined strategic transactions. On
May
4,
2017,
a lawsuit was filed against the Company by the consulting firm as the consulting firm believes that it is owed a transaction fee of at least
$1,000
under the terms of the engagement letter due to the conversion of the Boyalife Debentures in
August
2016.
The Company’s counsel does not believe there is any merit to the consulting firm’s allegations, intends to defend the lawsuit accordingly and believes the possibility of any future material payment to be remote. Therefore, no accrual has been recorded for this contingent liability as of
March
31,
2017.
 
Potential Severance Payments
As of
March
31,
2017,
the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) has rights upon termination under her employment agreement. The agreement provides, among other things, for the payment of
twelve
months of severance compensation upon termination under certain circumstances. With respect to this agreement at
March
31,
2017,
potential severance amounted to
$320.
