Product Warranties

The Company provides product warranties in connection with the sale of certain products. From time to time, the Company is subject to customer claims with respect to product warranties. Product warranty liabilities were not material as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Contract Matters

During the third quarter of 2015 the Company recorded a $2,788 charge related to a contract termination dispute following the decision of a customer, Triumph Actuation Systems - Yakima, LLC ("Triumph"), to in-source work. The Company has approximately $8,000 of net assets, in connection with this dispute, recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016. The Company has assessed recoverability of costs and damages provided by the relevant contracts and, during the fourth quarter of 2015, filed an arbitration demand before the American Arbitration Association for recovery of these costs and damages for approximately $15,000. Also during the fourth quarter, Triumph responded with a counterclaim of a similar amount, alleging various breaches and seeking damages, which the Company views as unsubstantiated. During 2016, Triumph adjusted the amount of its counterclaim to approximately $23,000, and the Company adjusted its claim to seek approximately $12,000.

As scheduled in May 2016, the parties arbitrated the matter and the Company continues to view the Triumph counterclaim as unsubstantiated. The Company and Triumph are scheduled to prepare and submit post-hearing filings in July and August prior to the issuance of the arbitrator’s written ruling. While it is currently not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company intends to vigorously defend its position and believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could be material to the consolidated results of operations of any one period.
