NOTE 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Commitments

 

The Company's principal contractual commitments include purchase obligations, re-payments of draw downs from the revolving line of credit, and payments under operating leases and financing arrangements. Purchase obligations are largely comprised of open purchase order commitments to suppliers and to subcontractors under professional services agreements. The Company's risk associated with the purchase obligations under professional services agreements is limited to the termination liability provisions within those contracts, and as such, it does not believe they represent a material liquidity risk to the company.

 

Certain wafer manufacturers require the Company to forecast wafer starts several months in advance. The Company is committed to take delivery of and to pay for a portion of the forecasted wafer volume. The Company did not have any non-cancellable purchase commitments with various wafer foundries as of December 29, 2024.

 

Purchase Obligations

 

Purchase obligations represent contractual agreements to purchase goods or services entered into in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are legally binding and amongst other things, specify a minimum or a range of quantities, pricing, and approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations include amounts that are recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, as well as amounts that are not recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company had $1.2 million of recorded and unrecorded purchase obligations due within the next twelve months as of December 29, 2024. The Company expects this commitment to be fulfilled over the next twelve months of Fiscal 2025.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property infringement and collection matters. Absolute assurance cannot be given that any such third-party assertions will be resolved without costly litigation; in a manner that is not adverse to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; or without requiring royalty or other payments which may adversely impact gross profit.
