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 would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Agreement with Keysight Technologies, Inc.
In fiscal 2010, we became a reseller of Agilent Technologies, Inc.’s ("Agilent") new T&M equipment in the U.S. and Canada. As of November 1, 2014, Agilent spun off Keysight, its wholly-owned subsidiary, into a separate publicly traded company. Sales of new T&M equipment represent approximately 65.4% and 65.2% of our sales of equipment and other revenues for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Nearly all of our sales of new T&M equipment are in connection with our reseller agreement with Agilent (now Keysight), which expires on May 31, 2015. We have renewed our reseller arrangement four times since we entered into the reseller agreement with Agilent in 2009. If we are unable to renew our reseller agreement with Keysight, or if the terms of any renewal are less favorable to us, our T&M equipment sales business may be materially and adversely affected.
