Regardless of the level of cumulative net sales, a guaranteed minimum payment of $0.2 million was to be paid in the first 12 months after the product's initial retail release as an advance towards the royalty payments which was accrued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Legal Proceedings
On March 7, 2024, a petition was filed by Tung Keng Enterprise Co., Ltd. d/b/a DK City Co., Ltd. (“DK City”) against CLMBR, Inc. and the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to enforce a monetary arbitration award of approximately $2.25 million against CLMBR, Inc. (the “Petition”). The Company was not involved in that prior arbitration, which involved alleged breaches of an equipment manufacturing agreement between CLMBR, Inc. and DK City. On June 25, 2024, CLMBR, Inc. and the Company collectively resolved the dispute via a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with DK City. Pursuant to that agreement, the Company was required to make certain payments to DK City, CLMBR, Inc. and the Company would be released from liability, and the Petition would be voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. The Company subsequently defaulted on this agreement due to not complying with the payment plan, and on September 22, 2025 a new petition was filed alleging breach of the negotiated settlement. The complaint seeks damages in the amount of $2.0 million, plus statutory interest and attorneys' fees. The Company has admitted liability, and the parties have requested a Magistrate Judge settlement conference. The plaintiff has filed a motion for summary judgment, but the parties are engaged in settlement discussions.
Total remaining payments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 of $2.1 million, including default interest of $0.1 million, are reflected in Accrued Expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
On or about February 20, 2025, the Company was sued in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, by one of its former financial services consultants (“the Plaintiff”), alleging a breach of an agreement between the parties for financial services Plaintiff allegedly provided to the Company. The dispute was fully and amicably resolved and on June 12, 2025, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice and settlement amount was $2.2 million. The current portion of the total remaining payments as of December 31, 2025 of $0.3 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the non-current portion of $1.8 million is included in other long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company is involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
