Note 8.    Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of our business. Any such matters and disputes could be costly and time consuming, subject the Company to damages or equitable remedies, and divert management and key personnel from core business operations.

In January 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Bisco, alleging wage and hour violations and related claims. The class action covers a class of former and current employees of Bisco who were employed between January 13, 2019 and August 23, 2024. In March 2023, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint that added claims under the California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). Both parties requested to stay the litigation pending mediation, which mediation occurred in April 2024. As a result of the mediation, the parties agreed in principle to settle this matter for approximately $7,500,000 which settlement amount, inclusive of payroll taxes, was increased to $7,795,000 in May 2025. In July 2025, the court approved the settlement.  In anticipation of this settlement, the Company accrued $7,390,000 and $285,000 in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively, and an additional $120,000 was accrued in fiscal 2025 to cover the remaining settlement expense. The Company made the full settlement payment in September 2025.
