Note 12: Commitments and contingencies


From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business. At June 30, 2013, we did not have a reserve for any contingencies. We are not party to any litigation that we believe could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.


We are aware of certain levels of contamination on our property in Connecticut which are below reportable levels. In addition, we are aware of certain contamination on an adjacent property that we formerly owned. The future effect of environmental matters, including potential liabilities, is often difficult to estimate. We are unable to determine or reasonably estimate the amount of costs, if any, that we might incur or for which we may ultimately become responsible. We will record a reserve if it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of any liability can be reasonably estimated, whether or not a claim has been asserted.


We lease certain manufacturing equipment and facilities under operating leases, some of which include cost escalation clauses, expiring on various dates through fiscal 2018. Total lease expense, net, charged to operations was $1,404, $1,236 and $1,330 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2013, the minimum future lease commitments under noncancellable leases payable over the remaining lives of the leases are as follows:
