NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


As part of the acquisition of Virticus Corporation on March 19, 2012, a contingent Earn-Out liability of $877,000 was recorded based on the fair value of estimated Earn-Out payments. This discounted liability is to be paid over a five year period, contingent upon reaching certain sales in each year over the five year period (fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2017). In fiscal 2013, as a result of modified sales forecasts for LSI Virticus, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was adjusted to zero. The $877,000 reversal of the Earn-Out liability, was recorded in selling and administrative expenses in Corporate and Eliminations. As of December 31, 2014, the maximum potential undiscounted liability related to the Earn-Out is $3 million. This would be based upon the achievement of a defined level of sales of lighting control systems in fiscal years 2015 through 2017. The likelihood of this occurring is not considered probable.


The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.


The Company may occasionally issue a standby letter of credit in favor of third parties. As of December 31, 2014, there were no standby letter of credit agreements.
