NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company rents its operating facilities and certain equipment, pursuant to operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through March 2030. The leases for certain facilities contain escalation clauses relating to increases in real property taxes as well as certain maintenance costs.

 

Rent expense for operating leases approximated $5,668,000 and $6,146,000, for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company received approval from the Suffolk County IDA on February 29, 2016 of a 50% property tax abatement, valued at $440,000, over a 10 year period commencing January 2017.

 

Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a non-contributory 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all non-union employees who are at least 21 years of age with no minimum service requirements. There were $0 and $36,799 employer contributions to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The stockholders of the Company approved the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) at the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting in April 2000. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to acquire common stock of the Company at a discount, not to exceed 15%. This plan has not been put into effect as of June 30, 2022.

 

Litigation

 

In September 2019, The Company was notified by one of its landlords that it was required to vacate the premises within 180 days under the demolition clause in the lease. The Company believes the lease renewal which was not negotiated in good faith since the renewal was negotiated in February 2018. The Company is in the process of relocating to a new location but the original lease provided for penalty payments in the event that the Company had not vacated the leased space. The Company has been making normal rent payments throughout the course of the arbitration proceedings. The Company settled the case for $900,000 for the leasehold holdover charges which was paid in August 2021.

 

In September 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an unrelated third party for a claim made during March 2018 which was scheduled for arbitration. The settlement was for $1.2 million of which $900,000 was paid by the Company’s insurance on September 15, 2020 with the remaining $315,000 paid by the Company on September 28, 2020.

 

Other Matters

 

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising from the ordinary course of its business, including personal injury, customer contract and employment claims besides the claim above. In the opinion of management, and with consultation with legal council, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to such actions, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

The Company maintains a self-funded health insurance program with a stop-loss umbrella policy with a third party insurer to limit the maximum potential liability for individual claims to $110,000 per person and for a maximum potential claim liability based on member enrollment. With respect to this program, the Company considers historical and projected medical utilization data when estimating its health insurance program liability and related expense. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $79,000 and $63,000, respectively, in reserve for its self-funded health insurance programs. The reserves are included in “Other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company regularly analyzes its reserves for incurred but not reported claims, and for reported but not paid claims related to its reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs. The Company believes its reserves are adequate. However, significant judgment is involved in assessing these reserves such as assessing historical paid claims, average lags between the claims’ incurred date, reported dates and paid dates, and the frequency and severity of claims. There may be differences between actual settlement amounts and recorded reserves and any resulting adjustments are included in expense once a probable amount is known. There were no significant adjustments recorded in the years covered by this report.
