Guarantees and Other Obligations
 
Product Warranty
 
Our products are generally sold with warranty periods that range from
12
to
36
months following sale or acceptance. The product warranty promises customers that delivered products are as specified in the contract (an “assurance-type warranty”). Therefore, we account for such product warranties under ASC
460,
and
not
as a separate performance obligation. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The warranty provision is based on historical and projected experience by product and configuration.

Accrued warranty amounts expected to be incurred after
one
year are included in noncurrent other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These amounts total
$0.5
 million at
June 30, 2018,
and
$0.6
 million at
December 30, 2017. 
 
Borrowings
 
Revolving Lines of Credit
 
We have credit agreements with multiple financial institutions in Japan under which they administer lines of credit on behalf of our wholly owned Kita subsidiary. The credit facilities renew monthly and provide Kita with access to working capital totaling up to
$6.3
 million and at
June 30, 2018,
total borrowings outstanding under the revolving lines of credit were
$3.2
 million. As these credit facility agreements renew monthly, they have been included in short-term borrowings in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The revolving lines of credit are denominated in Japanese Yen and, as a result, amounts disclosed herein will fluctuate because of changes in currency exchange rates.
 
Term Loans
 
We have long-term term loans from a series of Japanese financial institutions related to the expansion of Kita’s facility in Osaka, Japan. The loans are collateralized by the facility and land, carry interest rates ranging from
0.05%
to
0.45%,
and expire at various dates through
2034.
At
June 30, 2018
the aggregate amount outstanding was
$5.3
million and
$1.2
million of the term loans have been included in current installments of long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of our debt approximates the carrying value at
June 30, 2018.
The term loans are denominated in Japanese Yen and, as a result, amounts disclosed herein will fluctuate because of changes in currency exchange rates.
 
Lines of Credit
 
We have
one
available line of credit, which provides
one
of our wholly owned subsidiaries with borrowings up to
2.0
 million Swiss Francs. At
June 30, 2018
and
December 30, 2017,
no
amounts were outstanding under the line of credit.
