Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Leases:
Operating leases for certain office, showroom, manufacturing facilities, land, and equipment, which expire from fiscal year 2013 to 2056, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions, $3.5, $2.5, $1.7, $0.9, and $0.4 for the five years ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and aggregate $0.5 million from fiscal year 2018 to the expiration of the leases in fiscal year 2056. The Company is obligated under certain real estate leases to maintain the properties and pay real estate taxes. Certain leases include renewal options and escalation clauses. Total rental expenses amounted to, in millions, $4.8, $6.2, and $5.4 in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based on warehouse space utilized, which amounted to expense of, in millions, $0.4, $0.5, and $0.4 in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no capital leases.
Guarantees:
As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no guarantees issued which were contingent on the future performance of another entity. Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors, and insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of the Company's failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. The Company had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $4.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and $5.2 million as of June 30, 2011. The Company is not aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 with respect to the standby letters of credit. The Company also enters into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.
Product Warranties:
The Company estimates product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability in cases where specific warranty issues become known.
Changes in the product warranty accrual during fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010 were as follows:
