COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Loss Contingencies
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record a loss provision when we believe it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Guarantees
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnifications in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications; therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.
Warranty Accrual
We generally provide a warranty for our products for twelve months to thirty-six months from the date of sale, although warranties for certain of our products may be longer. We accrue for the estimated costs to provide warranty services at the time revenue is recognized. Our estimate of costs to service our warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent we experience increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, our warranty costs would increase, resulting in a decrease in gross profit.
The following table summarizes movements in the warranty accrual for the periods indicated:

Capital Leases
In connection with our acquisition of Opnext, we assumed certain capital leases with Hitachi Capital Corporation, a related party, for certain equipment. The terms of the leases generally range from one to five years and the equipment can be purchased at the residual value upon expiration. We can terminate the leases at our discretion in return for a penalty payment as stated in the lease contracts.
The following table shows the future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable capital leases with Hitachi Capital Corporation at March 28, 2015:

Litigation
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings, and we anticipate that additional actions will be brought against us in the future. The most significant of these proceedings are described below. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims in various jurisdictions. Complex legal proceedings frequently extend for several years, and a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process. As a result, some pending matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to determine whether the proceeding is material to us or to estimate a range of possible loss, if any. Unless otherwise disclosed, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss for the legal proceedings described below. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Raysung Commercial Litigation
On October 23, 2013, Xi’an Raysung Photonics Inc., or Raysung, filed a civil suit against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Oclaro Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Bookham Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.), or Oclaro Shenzhen, in the Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court in Shaanxi Province of the People’s Republic of China, or the Xi’an Court. The complaint filed by Raysung alleges that Oclaro Shenzhen terminated its purchase order pursuant to which Raysung had supplied certain products and was to supply certain products to Oclaro Shenzhen.
Raysung initially requested that the court award damages of RMB 4,796,531 (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015), and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen take the finished products that are now stored in Raysung’s warehouse (the value of the finished product is RMB 13,505,162 (equivalent to approximately $2.2 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015)) and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen pay its court fees in connection with this suit.
The Xi’an Court delivered an Asset Preservation Order which was served on Oclaro Shenzhen and the local Customs office. According to the Asset Preservation Order, Oclaro Shenzhen was ordered to maintain RMB 15,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015) or assets equivalent to the said amount during the litigation process, and the Customs office was ordered to restrict Oclaro Shenzhen's equipment from being exported before the Asset Preservation Order is lifted. On November 11, 2013, Oclaro Shenzhen entered into a settlement agreement. Under the terms of this settlement agreement, Oclaro Shenzhen agreed to pay $500,000 in payment of invoices for certain materials to Raysung and to work with Raysung to requalify it as a vendor for certain Oclaro Shenzhen manufacturing requirements, in consideration of which Raysung agreed to submit the settlement agreement to the Xi’an Court so it could issue a civil mediation agreement, apply for a discharge of the Asset Preservation Order and waive the right to bring any legal actions against Oclaro Shenzhen relating to these matters. Oclaro Shenzhen performed its obligations under the settlement agreement, however, on January 15, 2014, Raysung applied to the Xi’an Court to terminate the settlement agreement and add Oclaro, Inc. as a co-defendant in the original civil suit.
On March 26, 2014, the Xi’an Court froze RMB 15.0 million (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015) of cash held in Oclaro Shenzhen’s bank account in China. On April 30, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen submitted a challenge to the jurisdiction of the Xi'an Court. On May 26, 2014, the Xi'an Court overruled the jurisdictional challenge. On June 4, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal with the Shaanxi High Court to revoke the civil order of the Xi'an Court overruling Oclaro Shenzhen's jurisdictional challenge. The Shaanxi High Court held hearings on July 15, 2014 and July 30, 2014, and on August 20, 2014 sustained the Xi'an Court's civil order on jurisdiction and transferred the case back to the Xi'an Court for substantive proceedings. On September 22, 2014, Raysung amended its complaint in the Xi'an Court proceeding by increasing its claims to RMB 36.2 million (equivalent to approximately $5.9 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015). On October 22, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of Raysung's claims. At the same hearing, Oclaro Shenzhen filed counterclaims against Raysung for RMB 7.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.2 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015) of losses resulting from supply of products with unqualified materials. On December 17, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of each party's claims against the other party.
On April 2, 2015, the Xi'an Court released RMB 5.0 million of cash (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015) previously frozen in Oclaro Shenzhen's bank account in exchange for a new lien on physical assets located at Oclaro Shenzhen's facility with an equivalent appraised value. The Asset Preservation Order is currently in effect until March 2016. On April 10, 2015, the Xi'an Court issued a decision, ruling that Oclaro Shenzhen should pay Raysung RMB 11.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.9 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015). The Xi'an Court also dismissed Raysung's other claims and each of Oclaro Shenzhen's counterclaims. On April 24, 2015, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal of the Xi'an Court decision with the Shaanxi High Court, on the basis of both factual and legal error in the underlying decision. As of May 7, 2015, no judge has been assigned to the appellate case and no hearing dates have been established. Oclaro, Inc. and Oclaro Shenzhen continue to believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims made by Raysung and intend to defend this litigation vigorously.
