Note 7. Product Warranties Most of the Company’s products carry a limited warranty ranging up to seven years for Westell segment products and from one to three years for CNS segment products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the customer and the product sold. Factors that enter into the estimate of the Company’s warranty reserve include: the number of units shipped historically, anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the reserve as necessary. The current portions of the warranty reserve were $390,000 and $110,000 as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively, and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accrued expenses. The long-term portions of the warranty reserve were $108,000 and $133,000 as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively, and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other long-term liabilities. In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a $303,000 warranty obligation for pre-acquisition sales made by ANTONE related to a specific product failure. An indemnification claim of $303,000 for this warranty obligation has been adjusted in the valuation of the contingent consideration (see Notes 1, 10, and 12). The following table presents the changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve:
