7.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is from time to time a party to various litigation matters and customer disputes incidental to the conduct of its business. At the present time, the Company believes that none of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results.

 

The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the need for any such liability on a quarterly basis and records any necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of ongoing negotiations, contract disputes, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case in the period they become known. At June 30, 2011, the Company has not recorded any such liabilities in accordance with accounting for contingencies. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against the Company, and that the probability of a loss under such matters is remote.

 

Other Contingencies

 

The Company generally warrants that its products shall perform to its standard documentation. Under the Company’s standard warranty, should a product not perform as specified in the documentation within the warranty period, the Company will repair or replace the product or refund the license fee paid. Such warranties are accounted for in accordance with accounting for contingencies. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs related to warranty obligations for its software products.

 

The Company’s product license and on-demand agreements typically include a limited indemnification provision for claims by third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. To date, the Company has not incurred, does not anticipate incurring and therefore has not accrued for, any costs related to such indemnification provisions.
