Product Warranties:
The Company’s products in the CSG segment carry a limited warranty ranging from one to seven years and one to five years for the product within the IBW segment. 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. In fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded a $303,000 warranty obligation for pre-acquisition sales made by ANTONE related to a specific product failure. A corresponding indemnification claim for this warranty obligation was adjusted in the valuation of the contingent consideration related to the ANTONE acquisition (see Note 2, Note 6, and Note 13). The current portions of the warranty reserve were $383,000 and $286,000 as of March 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively, and are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as accrued expenses. The long-term portions of the warranty reserve were $122,000 and $42,000 as of March 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively, and are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as other long-term liabilities.
