Product Warranties
Most of the Company’s products carry a limited warranty ranging up to seven years for the products within the Westell segment and typically one year for products within the Kentrox segment. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the customer and the products sold. Factors that enter into the estimate of the Company’s warranty reserve include: the number of units shipped, 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 $271,000 and $94,000 as of September 30, 2013, and March 31, 2013, respectively, and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accrued expenses. The non-current portions of the warranty reserve were $54,000 and $58,000 as of September 30, 2013, and March 31, 2013, respectively, and are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other non-current 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. This specific warranty obligation was settled as of June 30, 2013. A corresponding indemnification claim of $303,000 for this warranty obligation was adjusted in the valuation of the contingent consideration related to the ANTONE acquisition (see Notes 2, 10, and 12).
The following table presents the changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve:
