15. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Commitments

In February 2015, 1,753 common shares were issued to two former lenders connected with a $0.2 million loan received and repaid during fiscal 2013. The common shares were valued at $0.2 million based on the value of the concurrent private placement and recorded in stock-based compensation on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As part of the consideration for the initial loan, the Company’s then-CTO and COO had transferred 2,098 common shares to the lenders. For contributing the common shares to the lenders, the Company intends to reimburse the former CTO and COO 2,134 common shares. As of March 31, 2023 these shares have not yet been issued.

In connection with the Company’s April 2016 acquisition of Interactive Motion Technologies, Inc., the Company acquired a license agreement dated September 8, 2009, with a former director as a co-licenser, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay the former director and the co-licenser an aggregate royalty of 1% of sales based on patent #8,613,691 Dynamic Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robotic Apparatus and Method of Rehabilitating Human Gait). No sales have been made, as the technology under this patent has not been commercialized
