+Added: Legal Proceedings.
+Added: are, and from time to time may become, subject to litigation and various legal proceedings that involve claims for substantial amounts
+Added: of money or for other relief or that might necessitate changes to our business or operations.
+Added: Please see Note 16 “Contingencies”
+Added: to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, “Item 8.
+Added: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this
+Added: Annual Report.
+Added: litigation is inherently unpredictable, assessing contingencies related to litigation is a complex process involving highly subjective
+Added: judgment about potential outcomes of future events.
+Added: When evaluating litigation contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful
+Added: estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the availability of appellate remedies,
+Added: insurance coverage related to the claim or claims in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and the ongoing discovery
+Added: and development of information important to the matter.
+Added: In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported,
+Added: exaggerated, or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability or financial exposure.
+Added: Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures each quarter in consultation with legal counsel, and we assess the probability
+Added: and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: However, the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current estimates.
+Added: In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process,
+Added: matters in litigation, and other contingencies, certain of which are covered by insurance policies.
+Added: While it is not possible to predict
+Added: the outcome of these suits, legal proceedings, and claims with certainty, management is of the opinion that adequate provision for potential
+Added: losses associated with these matters has been made in the financial statements and that the ultimate resolution of any one of these matters
+Added: will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
+Added: A significant increase in the number of these
+Added: claims, or one or more successful claims resulting in greater liabilities than the we currently anticipate, could materially and adversely
+Added: affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

+Added: asserting our failure to have paid invoices billed for the product in the amount of $96,676 following the Defendant’s notification that

+Added: trial court issued a ruling in March 2023 on cross Motions for Summary Judgment in which it denied all of our motions and granted defendant’s
+Added: Motion to exclude evidence of future loss of profit damages.
+Added: The ruling specified that we had properly pled, and the Court was specifically
+Added: allowing our damages theory to proceed on reliance damages.
+Added: We sought reconsideration of the ruling based on its internal inconsistency
+Added: with the contemporaneously issued Order which allowed only the counterclaims to proceed.
+Added: In July 2023, we sought appellate review of
+Added: the inconsistent lower Court pretrial rulings.
+Added: In September 2023, the Court issued an Order in response to our Motion for Reconsideration

+Added: of the Order was to again allow only the defendant’s counterclaim to proceed.
