Operating Leases and Purchase Commitments
The Company leases vehicles and equipment under operating leases. Rent expense under operating leases was $413,000 and $529,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. The Company enters into non-cancellable purchase commitments for certain inventory items in order to secure better pricing and ensure sufficient materials on hand to meet anticipated order volume and customer expectations, as well as for capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had entered into $14.4 million of purchase commitments related to fiscal 2012, including $1.7 million for operating lease commitments and $12.7 million for inventory purchase commitments.
Litigation
In February and March 2008, three class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, several of its officers, all members of its then existing board of directors, and certain underwriters relating to the Company’s December 2007 initial public offering (IPO). The plaintiffs claimed to represent those persons who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock from December 18, 2007 through February 6, 2008. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the defendants made misstatements and failed to disclose material information in the Company’s IPO registration statement and prospectus. The complaints alleged various claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The complaints sought, among other relief, class certification, unspecified damages, fees, and such other relief as the court may deem just and proper.
On August 1, 2008, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 15, 2008, the Company and the other director and officer defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint, and the underwriters filed a separate motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on January 16, 2009. After oral argument on August 19, 2009, the court granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss. The plaintiff filed a second consolidated amended complaint on September 4, 2009, and the defendants filed an answer to the complaint on October 9, 2009.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reached a preliminary agreement to settle the class action lawsuits and on January 3, 2011, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement. After a fairness hearing on April 14, 2011, the court approved the settlement in a final judgment and order. No shareholder appeared at the hearing to object. Accordingly, the case has concluded. Of the final settlement amount of $3.25 million, the Company contributed $0.49 million and the its insurer contributed $2.76 million. The Company recorded the settlement charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
