11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these matters; however, it does not believe any such matters are material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company's future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation.

The Company leases various facilities and equipment under capital and operating leases expiring at various dates. The Company recorded rent expense of $564 and $546 in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011, minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable leases are as follows:
