Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.   The Company typically does not provide contractual warranties on its products. However, on limited occasions, the Company incurs costs in connection with specific product performance claims. The Company has accrued for specific product performance matters that are probable and estimable based on estimates of ultimate cash expenditures that are expected to be incurred for such items.   The following table summarizes the Company’s product performance liability that is recorded in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:   <table style="text-align:left;WIDTH: 80%;

The Company stopped selling this product in 2006 and is currently attempting to resolve this matter.   During 2010, the Company performed a Phase II environmental site assessment at its 10 Water Street, Enfield, Connecticut location. During its investigation, the site was found to contain a presence of volatile organic compounds. The Company has been in contact with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and has engaged a licensed contractor to remediate this circumstance. Based on ASC 450—Contingencies, the Company accrued the estimated cost to remediate.

Galica (collectively “JPS”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to (i) payment by JPS of $7,131 to the Company, (ii) dismissals of pending actions in state and federal courts and all associated appeals and proceedings, (iii) the satisfaction of outstanding judgments in the state court action, (iv) the disbursement to the Company of $70, deposited with and held in escrow by the court, (v) the discharge of attachments of certain assets of JPS, (vi) the modification of the injunction issued in the state court action: (a) reducing the term of a production injunction from five years to four years, (b) permitting JPS to permanently bond encapsulant to fiberglass mesh and laminate non—low shrink encapsulant to paper, (c) the deletion of JPS’s obligations with respect to the review and deletion of certain documents, (vii) the delivery to the Company by JPS of certain components of an equipment line purchased by it, (viii) the deletion by JPS of certain data, (ix) the general release of claims by the parties related to the state and federal court actions, subject to the retention by the Company of certain rights, (x) the covenant by JPS not to sue the Company (and its affiliates) with respect to matters related to the federal court action, (xi) the agreement by JPS and Galica to cooperate with the Company in connection with investigations related to the potential dissemination of the Company’s trade secrets, and (xii) certain other customary terms and conditions.   The Company received the $7,201 payment during the first quarter of 2012, which is recorded in Other Income on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012.   EVASA   In 2010, Specialized Technologies Recourses España S.A. (“STRE”) learned that a competitor, Encapsulantes De Valor Anandida, S.A. (“EVASA”), was making encapsulant products that were substantially similar to STR’s products. Upon investigation it was learned that Juan Diego Lavandera (“Lavandera”), a former employee of STRE, was employed by EVASA.  It is believed that Lavandera, a former Production Supervisor with STRE, breached his contractual duties, by disclosing STR’s trade secrets to EVASA. On December 15, 2011, STRE and STR filed a confidential preliminary injunction petition with the Commercial Court No. 1 in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain (the “Court”) requesting an investigation of EVASA by the Court, including a search of EVASA’s premises. The investigation was to assess the facts related to the Company’s claims against Lavandera and EVASA for (i) trade secret infringement, (ii) the breach by Lavandera of his contractual obligations to STRE; and (iii) taking unfair advantage of STRE’s “effort”.   On June 27, 2012, an investigation was commenced by a Court appointed expert. On September 14, 2012, the expert issued a report confirming that EVASA was using the Company’s manufacturing process and product formulations. On October 10, 2012, STRE and the Company filed a preliminary injunction petition (the “PI Petition”) requesting interim measures, including prohibiting EVASA from manufacturing and selling encapsulant products using STR’s trade secrets. In connection with the PI Petition, STR and STRE offered to post a bond in the amount of EUR 50 (or such higher amount as the Court deems necessary), such bond to be formalized in the event the Court approves the PI Petition. The bond is to cover potential damages to EVASA if the Company’s claim on the merits is dismissed. On December 21, 2012, the Court held a hearing on the PI Petition and on April 2, 2013 the Court denied the PI Petition. The Company has appealed the Court’s decision and intends to pursue its claim on the merits. In the event that the appeal of the PI Petition is denied, the Company may be responsible for EVASA’s legal fees. However, the payment of such fees is not probable or determinable at this time. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name FASB Interpretation (FIN) -Number 14 -Paragraph 3 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
