9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2022, we have made commitments to purchase approximately $953 of production machinery and equipment.

Product Warranties

We estimate future warranty costs to be incurred for product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of our warranty obligations. Estimated future costs are based on actual past experience and are generally estimated as a percentage of sales over the warranty period. Changes in our product warranty liability during the first three months of 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Three-month period ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Accrued warranty obligations – beginning	$	133		$	149
Accruals for warranties issued		18			45
Settlements made		(31	)		(23	)
Accrued warranty obligations – ending	$	120		$	171

Contingencies and Legal Matters

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. We believe that the final disposition of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, recognizing that legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, there exists the possibility that ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are not aware of any such situations at this time.
