 our business objectives and may lose our competitive position, which could lead to a significant decline in net sales. The current job market for personnel is very competitive, resulting in increased compensation. We face challenges retaining our personnel and attracting new personnel to fulfill our unmet needs, particularly in light of our recent reductions-in-force. Replacing key personnel may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals with the skills and experience to execute our business strategy. We may be unable to identify or employ qualified personnel for any such position on acceptable terms, if at all. We may also need to pay higher compensation than we expect, which would make it more difficult to achieve our goal of sustained profitability.

Future strategic activities could disrupt our business and affect our results of operations.

In response to increasing competitive pressure, we may take additional measures intended to increase profitability and align our business more closely with our current strategic and financial objectives, including engagement with new suppliers, further modifications to our manufacturing arrangements and other cost-reduction efforts. For example, in February 2024 we announced a staged wind-down of our manufacturing operations and a related reduction-in-force of 75 employees, as a result of which we have incurred aggregate charges of approximately $14.8 million, consisting of a $5.2 million non-cash charge related to an inventory write-down in 2023, a $3.6 million provision for excess purchase order obligations, approximately $3.9 million of severance charges, and a $2.1 million charge for the discontinuation of a project for implementing a new manufacturing-centric accounting system. We may also choose to dispose of assets or make strategic divestitures, such as the sale of our inertial navigation business in August 2022. In the third quarter of 2025, we completed the sale of the warehouse building and surface parking lot located at 75 Enterprise Center in Middletown, Rhode Island. In the second quarter of 2025, we completed the sale of the property, building, improvements, and land located at 50 Enterprise Center in Middletown, Rhode Island. These efforts may not succeed in improving profitability. Any changes such as these could be disruptive to our business and could result in significant expense, including losses on any asset disposition or divestiture (such as the $0.3 million loss on the sale of 75 Enterprise Center), accounting charges for any inventory or technology-related write-offs or any workforce reduction costs, such as those described elsewhere in risk factors.
