Our contract loss provision includes approximately $2.4 million for estimated contract losses in connection with a certain customer purchase agreement. We filed a demand for arbitration under the contract to recover damages, together with attorney's fees, interest and costs subsequent to the customer’s request to reduce the number of units ordered under the purchase agreement. The claim in the arbitration is now considered an unsecured creditor claim within the customer’s overall bankruptcy proceedings. In December 2014, our Board of Directors passed a resolution reducing compensation and fees paid to our chairman for his service as our principal executive officer and each member of the Board of Directors to zero. Accrued interest expense includes $396,062 for deferred interest costs in connection with the Utica Credit Loan Note due November 2018.
