12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments

 

The Company incurred rent expense under non-cancellable operating leases of $815 and $933 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Asset retirement obligations relate to legal obligations associated with the removal of all leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term. The Company records all asset retirement obligations, which primarily relate to “make-good” clauses in operating leases, for its leased property containing leasehold improvements. The liability is accreted through charges to operating expenses. If the asset retirement obligation is settled for an amount other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on settlement. Accretion expense was $8 for three month period ended March 31, 2016 and $2 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s asset retirement obligations included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $614 and $613, respectively.

 

Contingencies 

   

In October 2015, Gemalto S.A. filed a suit alleging that the Company infringes on a Gemalto patent by incorporating microchips into the Company’s products.  Gemalto’s patent will expire in 2017. Discovery and motion practice is ongoing. The Company believes Gemalto’s claims are without merit and it has strong legal and equitable defenses, plus meritorious counterclaims and indemnity rights. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. Due to the current stage of the matter, the Company has concluded the risk of loss is not reasonably possible or estimable and no accrual has been recognized as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

   

In addition to the matter described above, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
