NOTE 13 – WARRANTY PROVISIONS
 
A return program for defective goods is negotiated with each of our wholesale customers on a year-to-year basis.  Customers are either allowed to return defective goods within a specified period of time after shipment (between 6 and 9 months) or granted a “defective allowance” consisting of a fixed percentage (between 1% and 5%) off of invoice price in lieu of returning defective products. The Company is also subject to returns of CDG music from sales made by our consignee.  The Company records liabilities for its return goods programs and defective goods allowance program at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred. The liability for defective goods is included in warranty provisions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
Changes in the Company’s obligations for return and allowance programs are presented in the following table:
