NOTE 3.  WARRANTY

Most of our manufactured products are sold with warranties. Warranty periods, which vary by product components, generally range from 1 to 10 years; however, the warranty period for a limited number of specifically identified components in certain applications is a lifetime. The majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The amount charged to expense for warranties is based on management’s assessment of the cost per service call and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on the current net sales.

During the three months ended July 4, 2020, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of approximately 1.8% of sales, which was on par with the rate in the three months ended June 29, 2019 of 1.6% of sales. During the six months ended July 4, 2020, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of approximately 1.8% of sales, which was also on par with the rate in the six months ended June 29, 2019 of 1.6% of sales.


The following table summarizes current period charges, adjustments to previous estimates, if necessary, as well as settlements, which represent actual costs incurred during the period for the three and six months ended July 4, 2020, and June 29, 2019. The reserve is determined through specific identification and assessing Company history. Expected future obligations are discounted to a current value using a risk-free rate for obligations with similar maturities.
