(1) During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company identified immaterial out of period errors related to its estimated warranty obligation and return material authorization ("RMA") reserves, the correction of which decreased its cost of revenues by approximately $2.4 million and increased net income by approximately $2.1 million. The Company recorded these corrections in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 because the errors were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to any of the prior reporting periods. In addition, these adjustments are not material for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, either individually or in the aggregate.
