The Company may be, from time to time, a party to various disputes and claims arising from normal business activities. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.


Currently, the Company is party to the legal proceedings described in Part II, Item I of this quarterly report, which are principally patent litigation matters. The Company has assessed such legal proceedings and does not believe that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of any potential liability can be reasonably estimated so no loss contingencies were recorded related to these litigation matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcome of the matters described in Part II, Item 1 of this quarterly report, the Company believes that, the resolution of all such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations in any one accounting period.
