7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION, DISPUTES AND SETTLEMENTS

The Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations, intellectual property matters, claims and proceedings, including, but not limited to, contractual disputes with vendors and customers and liabilities related to employment, health and safety matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex and subject to change.

The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such lawsuits, investigations, claims, and proceedings as of March 31, 2026, and the Company believes it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the ongoing matters described herein cannot be predicted with certainty. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, may potentially have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting period.

The Farkas Group, Inc. (“FGI”), a Florida corporation whose principal is former Company CEO, Michael D. Farkas, filed a demand for arbitration on April 1, 2024, alleging that the Company owes FGI commissions pursuant to a November 17, 2009 commission agreement between the parties. The amount of commission was not stated but application of the theories articulated in the pleading would have required payment of more than $20,000 in commissions. The Company filed an answer denying the claim and counterclaimed against FGI, Mr. Farkas, and one of his companies, NextNRG Holdings (“NEXT”), alleging that FGI, Mr. Farkas, and NEXT are in violation of non-compete agreements. NEXT later filed a petition with the Florida Superior Court to stay the arbitration as to NEXT. The Florida Court denied NEXT’s petition, and the arbitration resumed in March 2025. The arbitration hearing occurred in August 2025. In October 2025, the Arbitrator issued an interim award which rejected many of the theories advocated by FGI and requires the Company to provide an accounting within 90 days applying the Arbitrator’s determinations regarding the Commission Agreement. The Arbitrator denied the Company’s claim for injunctive relief. The Arbitrator declined to award attorneys’ fees to either party. The Company later prepared the accounting which resulted in a final award requiring the Company to pay $72, plus quarterly commissions on revenue derived from certain chargers installed prior to June 30, 2017. The Company estimates the quarterly payments will be less than $10 per quarter, declining over time to zero. The first payment was approximately $10 in April 2026.
