Indemnifications and Guarantees

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as to personal liability as provided by the Delaware law and the Company’s articles and bylaws. The Company may also undertake indemnification obligations in the ordinary course of business related to its operations. The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability that may be incurred pursuant to any such indemnification obligations now or in the future. Because of the uncertainty surrounding these circumstances, the Company’s current or future indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its ability to continue in the ordinary course of business. The Company has no liabilities recorded for such indemnities.

 

Regulatory Agencies

 

The Company is subject to oversight from regulatory agencies regarding firearms that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted to include the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no provision for liability under existing litigation.
