13. Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or be otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management does not anticipate that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company also is currently subject to various pending and potential legal matters and investigations relating to compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including import/export and environmental matters. For certain of these matters it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss for such matters due primarily to being in the preliminary stages of the related proceedings and investigations. The Company currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to its results of operations in any one reporting period. 

As of July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, the Company has aggregate estimated liabilities of $20.2 million and $17.2 million, respectively, classified within accrued expenses and other for such compliance-related matters that were reasonably estimable as of such dates. Of these amounts, $8.5 million relates to the Company’s estimated liability to settle a compliance investigation by Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) for potential unpaid import duties associated with the acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company held settlement discussions with CBP and submitted an $8.5 million offer-in-compromise (“OIC”) to CBP in order to resolve this long-standing compliance investigation.

During fiscal 2014, the Company received award payments of $22.1 million related to the settlement of a class action proceeding against certain manufacturers of LCD flat panel displays, which is classified within “gain on legal settlement” in the consolidated statements of operations.
