Product Warranties

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  While the Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure.  Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from its estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required.

Changes in the Company's warranty liability (included in accrued expenses) for the three an six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows and include the balances and activity of IQinVision, Inc. for periods subsequent to the merger date of August 29, 2014:
