Commitments and Contingencies

NOTE 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase commitments – As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $33.7 million in non-cancelable purchase contracts related to capital expenditures, primarily related to Asia manufacturing facilities.

Defined Benefit Plan - We have a contributory defined benefit plan that covers certain employees in the United Kingdom.  As of March 31, 2017, the unfunded liability for this defined benefit plan was approximately $27.2 million.  We are obligated to make annual contributions, each year through December 2029, of approximately GPB 2 million (approximately $2.6 million based on a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3).  The trustees are required to review the funding position every three years and the most recent review was carried out as of April 5, 2016. The outcome of a review can change the amount of the payment.

Contingencies –From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While we intend to defend any lawsuit vigorously, we presently believe that the ultimate outcome of any current pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact on our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods.  Based on information available, we evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes. We record the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we do not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs as they are expensed as incurred.  The Company is not currently a party to any pending litigation that the Company considers material.
