Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks NORTECH SYSTEMS INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 26, 2026: 33 risks under these headings, as written.12

  • Risks Related to our Business
  • A large percentage of our net sales have been made to a small number of customers, and the loss of a major customer, if not replaced, would adversely affect us.
  • We are dependent on suppliers for components and raw materials and may experience shortages, extended lead times, cost premiums and shipment delays that would adversely affect our customers and us.
  • Our customers cancel orders, change order quantity, timing and product specifications that if not managed would have an adverse effect on the timing of net sales and inventory carrying costs.
  • We depend heavily on our people and may from time to time have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled employees and the cost of labor may continue to increase. The loss of key management or an ineffective transition of leadership could adversely affect our operations and strategic direction.
  • Our engineering net sales depend on our ability to deliver quality value-added engineering services required by our customers.
  • We operate in highly competitive industries, and we depend on continuing outsourcing by Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”).
  • The manufacture and sale of products carries potential risk for product liability claims and warranty claims.
  • The Company is majority owned by one group of shareholders, and those shareholders may be able to take actions that do not reflect the will or best interests of other shareholders.
  • Operating in foreign countries exposes our operations to risks that could adversely affect our operating results.
  • We face risks arising from the restructuring of our operations.
  • Risks Related to our Assets
The other 23 risks
  • We are dependent on our information technology systems for order, inventory procurement and management, production management, treasury, financial reporting, communications and other functions. If our information systems fail or experience major interruptions due to physical damage or loss of power or incur disruptions to our information systems, including security breaches, losses of data or outages, cyberattacks and other security issues, it could adversely affect our operations and/or financial results.
  • We are investing in new technologies which are inherently risky.
  • Our investments in new products and technologies are inherently risky and are a departure from historical business operations.
  • Financial Risks
  • If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our credit agreement, we may be unable to secure additional financing and repayment obligations on our outstanding indebtedness may be accelerated.
  • Our future growth depends on our ability to generate and sustain customer bookings.
  • Our ability to generate positive EBITDA and operating cash flow may fluctuate and may be insufficient to support our operations, service our debt obligations or satisfy financial covenant requirements.
  • Our exposure to financially troubled customers, start-up businesses or suppliers may adversely affect our financial results.
  • Changes in foreign currency translation rates could adversely impact our net sales and earnings.
  • We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and we may never pay dividends; investors must rely on stock appreciation for any return on investment in our common stock.
  • We expect volatility in the price of our common stock, which may subject us to securities litigation.
  • If we fail to maintain effective systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.
  • Our services involve other inventory risk.
  • Impairment of Our Long-Lived Assets Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
  • Market Risks
  • The economic conditions around the world could adversely affect demand for our products and services and the financial health of our customers.
  • Pandemics or disease outbreaks could adversely affect our operations, supply chains, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Legal and Regulatory Risks
  • We are subject to extensive government regulations and industry standards and the terms of complex contracts; a failure to comply with current and future regulations and standards, or the terms of our contractual arrangements, could have an adverse effect on our business, customer relationships, reputation and profitability.
  • We may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes which could have an adverse effect on our business.
  • Complying with securities laws, tax laws, accounting policies and regulations, and subsequent changes, may be costly for us and adversely affect our financial statements.
  • Anti-Corruption and Trade Laws - We may incur costs and suffer damages if our employees, agents, or suppliers violate anti-bribery, anti-corruption or trade laws and regulations.
  • Non-compliance with environmental laws may result in restrictions and could adversely affect operations.
  • Global climate change and related regulations could negatively affect the Company.
  • If we use hazardous materials in a manner that causes contamination or injury, we could be liable for resulting damages.
  • If we are not able to comply with Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements, our net sales from defense contractors could be reduced.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in ordinary, routine or regulatory legal proceedings incidental to the business. When a loss is deemed probable and reasonably estimable an amount is recorded in our consolidated financial statements.
