14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Tariff Refunds During fiscal 2025 and early fiscal 2026, the company incurred import duties under tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that such tariffs were not authorized, and on March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund certain tariffs collected under IEEPA. As of May 3, 2026, the company identified certain potential refunds of previously paid tariffs in accordance with the ruling by the CIT. The company estimated the total potential recovery to be approximately $ 7.0 million, which recovery remained subject to administrative review and final liquidation of the underlying customs entries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Accordingly, this potential recovery was considered a gain contingency in accordance with ASC Topic 450, and therefore the company did not recognize a receivable related to potential tariff refunds as of May 3, 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the company received the entire $ 7.0 million in cash proceeds representing a final approval of these tariff refund claims. The $ 7.0 million is expected to be recognized as a credit to inventory for inventory that is on hand and within cost of sales for inventory that has been sold during the first quarter fiscal 2027 Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Net Income (Loss), respe …

16. FAIR VALUE ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the companys assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either level 1 or level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 Inputs other than level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, and Level 3 Unobservable inputs developed using the companys estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each reporting period based on various factors, and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from reporting period to reporting period. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare. Recurring Basis The following tables present information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair value measurements as of May 3, 2026, using: Quoted prices in act …
