16.   Product Warranty Reserve

Our golf equipment is sold under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year.  An allowance for estimated future warranty costs is recorded in the period products are sold.  In estimating our future warranty obligations, we consider various relevant factors, including our stated warranty policies, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair the product.  Accounting for product warranty reserve could be adversely affected if one or more of our products were to fail (i.e. suffer a broken shaft, head, etc.) to a significant degree above and beyond our historical product failure rates, which determine the product warranty accruals.
