The Company had letters of credit totaling $23,843 and $33,359 as of May 30, 2015 and November 29, 2014, respectively, issued to various government agencies, primarily related to industrial revenue bonds, and to insurance companies and other commercial entities in support of its obligations. The Company believes that no payments will be required resulting from these obligations.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also provides routine indemnifications and other guarantees whose terms range in duration and are often not explicitly defined. The Company does not believe these will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Warranties

Warranties are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and as charges to current expense for estimated normal warranty costs and, if applicable, for specific performance issues known to exist on products already sold. The expenses estimated to be incurred are provided at the time of sale and adjusted as needed, based primarily upon experience. Changes in the Company’s warranty accrual, which is included in Other accrued liabilities, are as follows:



	Six Months Ended
	May 30, 2015			May 31, 2014
Warranty accrual at beginning of period	$	9,405		$	1,599
Warranty accrual added through business acquisitions	100			10,677

Warranty accruals added through business acquisitions in the first six months of 2014 relate primarily to the CLARCOR Industrial Air business, whose sales agreements, particularly for air intake filtration systems for heavy-duty gas turbine applications, include product warranties customary for such types of products. Warranty accruals for this business are established for specifically identified warranty issues known to exist on products already sold, and on a non-specific basis based primarily on past experience.
