Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to legal proceedings and business disputes involving ordinary routine legal proceedings and claims incidental to our business. The ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such matters generally cannot be estimated with certainty and requires the use of estimates in recording liabilities for potential litigation settlements or awards against us. Estimates for losses from litigation are made after consultation with outside counsel. If estimates of potential losses increase or the related facts and circumstances change in the future, we may be required to record either more or less litigation expense. We are not involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In fiscal 2010, we became a reseller for Agilent Technologies Inc. (“Agilent”), the largest T&M equipment manufacturer in North America, which provides us with the exclusive right to sell Agilent’s more complex T&M equipment to small and medium size customers (who previously purchased directly from Agilent) in the United States and Canada through May 31, 2014. Sales of new T&M equipment represent approximately 63.1% and 67.8% of our sales of equipment and other revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our current reseller agreement amendment expires on May 31, 2014. We are currently in negotiations with Agilent to extend the reseller agreement, however as of April 8, 2014 the negotiations have not been finalized.
