COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As part of the acquisition of Virticus Corporation in March 2012, a contingent earn-out liability of $877,000 was recorded based on the fair value of estimated earn-out payments. This discounted liability was 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. As of September 30, 2016, the maximum potential undiscounted liability related to the earn-out is $236,000, which is based upon the achievement of a defined level of sales of lighting control systems in fiscal year 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 September 30, 2016, there was a standby letter of credit totaling $0.4 million to a foreign supplier related to the purchase of inventory.
