Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, product liability, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, and sometimes a matter is subsequently determined to be of greater risk. Based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters, even if unfavorable, will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations and the price of our common stock. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future, routinely do change, and we could have unfavorable outcomes we do not expect. An unexpected settlement expense or an unexpected unfavorable outcome of a matter could adversely impact our results of operations.
In December 2023, we were sued by three former employees in two separate, but substantially identical matters brought by the same law firm. The lawsuits were filed as a putative class action and a Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA") action seeking awards for all similarly situated employees going back ten years or more. We responded to these actions and agreed to submit the matters for mediation. On July 3, 2025, the mediation took place, and a tentative settlement agreement was reached whereby we agreed to contribute a maximum of $1.25 million. The court has consolidated the two actions. The settlement was brought before the court and an attempt to contact all similarly situated employees was made for them to participate at their discretion. The court agreed to the settlement. Payment was remitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, and final court approval and termination of the proceedings is expected to take place in February 2027. We accrued the maximum settlement amount in our results of operations as of June 30, 2025, along with estimated related legal fees of approximately $150,000. During the year ended June 30, 2026, we accrued additional estimated related legal fees of $44,000.
As of September 28, 2026 with exception of these two consolidated matters, neither NAI nor NAIE were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of our property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding. At any given time, we may be involved in one or more matters in the ordinary course of our business.
There is no assurance NAI will prevail in any litigation matters or that litigation expenses will not be greater than anticipated.
