ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On December 14, 2020, Ultralife was awarded a final settlement of $1,593 (net of fees) upon court approval and order authorizing distribution of settlement funds in a class action lawsuit (In Re: Lithium-ion Batteries Antitrust Litigation, 13-MD-02420-YGR, United States District Court, Northern District of California).  At the time of the court order, the settlement funds were held in an escrow account controlled by the court for administrative purposes, and there remained no potential for appeal or reversal of the court order.  Based on all conditions present upon the court order, it was concluded that the net settlement amount was fully realizable.  Accordingly, a gain of $1,593 was recognized and was separately reported as gain on litigation settlement on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The corresponding amount due was collected in full in January 2021.
 
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. We believe that the final disposition of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, recognizing that legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, there exists the possibility that ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are not aware of any such situations at this time.
