Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company from time to time, enters into standby letters of credit agreements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letters of credit agreements aggregated to zero at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. The Company, as a U.S. Government contractor, is subject to audits, reviews, and investigations by the U.S. Government related to its negotiation and performance of government contracts and its accounting for such contracts. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. Government standards by a contractor may result in suspension from eligibility for award of any new government contract and a guilty plea or conviction may result in debarment from eligibility for awards. The government may, in certain cases, also terminate existing contracts, recover damages, and impose other sanctions and penalties. As a result of contract audits the Company will determine a range of possible outcomes and in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies” the Company will accrue amounts within a range that appears to be its best estimate of a possible outcome. Adjustments are made to accruals, if any, periodically based on current information.

 

We are party to various litigation matters and claims arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. There are no pending litigation matters or claims which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company was awarded $7.4 million in funding during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 in support of facility and capital equipment upgrades for testing and qualification for the United States Navy. The funding is part of the Navy’s investment to improve and sustain the Surface Combatant Industrial Base. The work is being conducted on the Company’s property in Saratoga Springs, NY, with completion slated for the end of calendar year 2024. The Company expects to be paid within 30 days after the submission of three milestone invoices, but will not be paid for expenses incurred in excess of the specified milestone payment limits. The Company will record the receipt of milestone payments received as a reduction from the cost of the assets. The Company will have an initial cash outlay to satisfy income tax obligations arising from the value of the milestone payments received. The cash outlay arising from federal income tax obligations is expected to be recaptured in future periods. Until recaptured, estimated tax obligations associated with the receipt of milestone payments are recorded on the balance sheet and included in deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2024, net deferred tax asset includes a deferred tax asset of $888,032 associated with milestone reimbursements received totaling $4,228,722. Included in property, plant, and equipment at September 30, 2024 was $1,561,215 not yet reimbursed, for facility and capital upgrades under the funding award, compared to $965,392 in spending not yet reimbursed included in property, plant, and equipment at June 30, 2024. Included in accounts payable at September 30, 2024 was approximately $622,326 for facility and capital upgrades eligible to be reimbursed under the funding award compared to $272,560 included in accounts payable at June 30, 2024.

 

In June 2024, the Company notified the third-party administrator of the IBEW Local 1799 Pension Fund of its intention to withdraw permanently from the plan. As required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act “ERISA”, the Company is subject to a termination withdrawal liability. The recorded termination withdrawal obligation at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 totaled $561,852 and $772,157, respectively, shown within the accounts payable balance on the Company’s balance sheets. The remaining liability of $561,852 is expected to be paid in the second half of fiscal 2025. As the Company was the only remaining contributing employer to the multiemployer pension plan, its withdrawal constitutes a mass withdrawal termination. Final withdrawal calculations are contingent upon the availability of January 1, 2025 assets and the finalization of December 31, 2024 liabilities as the withdrawal liability will need to be re-determined based on a December 31, 2024 measurement date. The Company does not expect future adjustments to the established liability to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The cost of the withdrawal liability obligation is recorded in indirect overhead product costs, capitalized in inventory and expensed through cost of sales based on shipments.
