11.            Commitments and Contingencies

 

Management is currently unaware of any significant pending litigation affecting the Company. 

 

On March 21, 2012, the Company received a letter from counsel for 3CEMS and Prime Foundation claiming that the Company breached its contractual obligations by failing to pay for component parts to be used to manufacture optical video scopes for the Company’s discontinued Commercial Products Business Unit (CBU”) that 3CEMS allegedly purchased in advance of the receipt of orders from the Company based upon instructions they claim to have received from the Company.  They are seeking $5.5 million in damages related to the alleged breach. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

 

The Company may, from time to time, be subject to other claims and suits in the ordinary course of its business. 

 

To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. Since the outcome of claims and litigation is subject to significant uncertainty, changes in these factors could materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
