(1) Capital purchase obligations represent commitments for the construction or purchase of property, plant and equipment. They were not recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, as we had not yet received the related goods or taken title to the property.

Contingencies
In accordance with ASC Topic 450, when applicable, the Company records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Currently, we have no lawsuits, claims, proceedings and investigations pending involving us.
