Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

All legal proceedings, with the exception of the bankruptcy of our German subsidiary discussed below, are of an ordinary and routine nature and are incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In making that determination, we analyze the facts and circumstances of each case at least quarterly in consultation with our attorneys and determine a range of reasonably possible outcomes. The procedures performed include reviewing attorney and plaintiff correspondence, reviewing any filings made and discussing the facts of the case with local management and legal counsel. We have recognized loss contingencies of approximately $0 and $200 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which we believe are adequate to cover all probable liabilities to be incurred by all of the cases in the aggregate.

 

As discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2014, the ultimate impact on NN of our wholly owned German subsidiary Kugelfertigung Eltmann GbmH (“Eltmann” or “Eltmann Plant”) filing for bankruptcy will depend on the findings of the bankruptcy court. We do not expect any further significant impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the liquidation of this subsidiary.
