Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records liabilities for contingencies including legal costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

With respect to potential payments due related to the Zentrick acquisition, discussed in Footnote 4, Business Combinations, the Company and the Zentrick selling stockholders are currently in discussions to negotiate the early termination of the Zentrick Deferred Payment Terms and resolution of the contingent payments due for both the technical milestones and revenue targets. The Company believes the total of approximately $2.8 million for these potential payments reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as contingent consideration current and other current liabilities reflect the Company’s estimated obligations under the stock purchase agreement entered into in connection with the transaction, as of September 30, 2021. In efforts to terminate early the Zentrick Deferred Payment Terms, the Company believes payment between $2.8 million and $5.5 million is possible, with no amount within the range being a better estimate than the amount recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
