One write-off of $197 thousand related to high minimum order quantity inventory purchases in 2022 for SilverSeal and Turf Guard 2x3. High minimum order quantities were a significant challenge to launching new products and were one of the motivating factors for our Q1 2023 joint venture with CG Converting and Packaging, which now allows us to control the manufacturing process and, as a result, we do not expect any future write-offs. The second is for $46 thousand for additional excess and obsolete inventory. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $1.81 million.
