Legal Matters

As of June 30, 2018, the Company is party to the following matter related to the unauthorized transactions described below:

On December 17, 2010, the Company filed an action against Park Bank in Circuit Court of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin alleging a claim of breach of the Uniform Fiduciaries Act relating to the unauthorized transactions, as previously reported. In 2015, Park Bank filed third party claims based on contribution and subrogation against Grant Thornton LLP and Michael Koss. The Court granted motions to dismiss the contribution claims against Grant Thornton LLP and Michael Koss, but determined that it was premature to decide the subrogation claims at this stage of the proceedings. On or around March 11, 2016, the Court entered an order granting Park Bank's motion for summary judgment that dismissed the case. On March 22, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal that appeals the order granting Park Bank's motion for summary judgment and the Court's denial of the motion to dismiss the subrogation claims. Park Bank also filed a cross–appeal that appeals the Court's order that granted the motions to dismiss the contribution claims against Grant Thornton LLP and Michael Koss. On December 12, 2017, the Court of Appeals issued its decision that affirmed the Circuit Court’s judgment dismissing the Company’s claim against Park Bank. The Company filed a Petition for Review of that decision before the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. On March 14, 2018, the Court granted the Petition. The case is currently pending before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

In addition, on or around July 13, 2018, the Company was served with a lawsuit by a former celebrity endorser of certain products alleging that the Company used her name and image to market and sell the products after the termination of their agreement without her consent. On August 10, 2018, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint. This case remains pending.

The ultimate resolution of these matters is not determinable unless otherwise noted.

We also are subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving these claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
