NOTE 1-THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business

 

Interlink Electronics, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and sells a range of force-sensing technologies that incorporate our proprietary materials technology, firmware and software into a portfolio of standard products and custom solutions. These include sensor components, subassemblies, modules and products that support effective, efficient cursor control and novel 3 dimensional user inputs. Our principal executive office is located at 31248 Oak Crest Drive, Suite 110, Westlake Village, California 91361 and our telephone number is (805) 484-8855. Our website address is www.interlinkelectronics.com.  

 

Fiscal Year

 

Our fiscal year is January 1 through December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2015 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required for annual periods. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 25, 2016.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. However, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and our consolidated results of operations and the consolidated cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interlink Electronics and our subsidiaries in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, China, and Singapore. All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Share and per share amounts and weighted-average grant date fair value reflect the two-for-one stock split effected on February 24, 2015 as well as the stock dividend paid on April 1, 2016 of one quarter of one share of common stock for every one share of common stock issued and outstanding on March 29, 2016. The number of authorized shares, common and preferred, and par values reflect the number of authorized shares and par values subsequent to increases to our common and preferred stock approved by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2015 and March 11, 2016, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognitions, allowances for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuations reserves, stock-based compensation, purchased intangible asset valuations and useful

6


 

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

(unaudited)

 

lives, asset retirement obligations, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results we experience may differ materially and adversely from our original estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

Our future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect our business or future results and cause actual results to vary materially from historical results include, but are not limited to, the rapid change in our industry; problems with the performance, reliability or quality of our products; loss of customers; impacts of doing business internationally, including foreign currency fluctuations; potential shortages of the supplies we use to manufacture our products; disruptions in our manufacturing facilities; changes in environmental directives impacting our manufacturing process or product lines; the development of new proprietary technology and the enforcement of intellectual property rights by or against us; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; and our ability to raise additional capital.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Updated, or ASU, No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments to this update supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard was originally set to become effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, thereby delaying the effective date of the standard to January 1, 2018, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”, effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of share-based payment awards whose performance target may be achieved after the requisite service period. An entity may apply the standards (1) prospectively to all share-based payment awards that are granted or modified on or after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. Earlier application is permitted. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-12 and there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40)”, which provides guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is

7


 

Table of Contents

INTERLINK ELECTRONICS, INC.

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

(unaudited)

 

substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the Financial Accounts Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810),” to change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The standard is effective for fiscal and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-12 and it had no impact on our consolidated financial statments.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which provides new guidance regarding the measurement of inventory. The new guidance requires most inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standard applies to companies other than those that measure inventory using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory method. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the ASU No. 2015-17 on January 1, 2016, and it had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 to its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3-STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On February 24, 2015, we completed a two (2) share for one (1) share forward stock split of our common stock, and on April 1, 2016, we completed a stock dividend of one quarter of one share of common stock for every one share of

(unaudited)

 

common stock outstanding. All share amounts, exercise prices, and weighted-average grant date fair value for our common stock, stock options and restricted stock reflect the stock splits.

 

In conjunction with the February 24, 2015 stock split, the board of directors authorized the adoption of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares. The number of authorized shares, common and preferred, and par values in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect the number of authorized shares and par values on a post-split basis.

 

NOTE 4-STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Under the terms of our 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), officers and key employees could be granted restricted stock units, as well as non-qualified or incentive stock options. The Plan was terminated in December 2015; however, all grants issued under the Plan prior to its termination will continue to vest, expire or terminate in accordance with the Plan document and the terms of each award.

 

Share amounts and weighted-average grant date fair values reflect the two-for-one stock split effected on February 24, 2015 and the one quarter of one share of common stock for every one share of common stock dividend effected on April 1, 2016.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

Our outstanding restricted stock unit grants vest over five years in installments of 50% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Unvested restricted shares are forfeited if the recipient’s employment terminates for any reason other than death, disability or special circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

Activity for our restricted stock units is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic values in the preceding table for the restricted stock units outstanding represent the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $7.12 and $5.71 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. No restricted stock units vested in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015, repectively.

 

Stock Options

 

The exercise price of our stock options is the closing price on the date the options are granted. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. The following table summarizes the activity for the remaining options outstanding under the Plan:

This intrinsic value represents the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of such options.  The aggregate intrinsic values in the preceding table for the options outstanding represent the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $7.12 and $5.71 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, respectively, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their in-the-money options as of those dates. 

 

The fair value of stock-based option awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model; however, the value calculated using an option pricing model may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction, or actually realized by the employee upon exercise. Expected volatility used to estimate the fair value of options granted is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury constant maturity rate for the expected life of the stock option. The expected life of a stock award is the period of time that the award is expected to be outstanding. We have not granted options since 2008.

NOTE 5-EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock-based awards using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 8-INCOME TAXES

 

Income tax expense (benefit) as a percentage of income from operations before incomes taxes was 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to (4.4)% for the comparable period in the prior year. Our income tax expense (benefit) is primarily impacted by domestic and foreign taxes as well as our ability to utilize our NOLs. 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015 we conducted an IRC Section 382 study to determine if we have experienced an ownership change. The results of the study concluded that the Company experienced an ownership change in February 2010. Of our federal NOL amount as of December 31, 2015, $49.1 million is subject to an annual Section 382

limitation due to the February 2010 ownership change. As of December 31, 2015, the available NOL carryforward is $1.6 million, $2.4 million and $176,000 for federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, respectively. The federal and state NOL carryforward is limited for use by IRC Section 382 at approximately $71,000 per year.   

 

NOTE 9-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

We lease facilities under non-cancellable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through fiscal 2020 and frequently include renewal provisions for varying periods of time, provisions which require us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, and provisions for minimum rent increases. Minimum leases payments, including scheduled rent increases are recognized as rent expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases that have remaining non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:

Litigation

 

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including actions against us which assert or may assert claims or seek to impose fines and penalties in substantial amounts. Related legal defense costs are expensed as incurred. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation or cash flow.

 

Warranties

 

We establish reserves for future product warranty costs that are expected to be incurred pursuant to specific warranty provisions with our customers. We generally warrant our products against defects for one year from date of shipment, with certain exceptions in which the warranty period can extend to more than one year based on contractual agreements. Our warranty reserves are established at the time of sale and updated throughout the warranty period based upon numerous factors including historical warranty return rates and expenses over various warranty periods. Historically, our warranty returns have not been material.

 

Intellectual Property Indemnities

 

We indemnify certain customers and our contract manufacturers against liability arising from third-party claims of intellectual property rights infringement related to our products. These indemnities appear in development and supply agreements with our customers as well as manufacturing service agreements with our contract manufacturers, are not limited in amount or duration and generally survive the expiration of the contract. Given that the amount of any potential liabilities related to such indemnities cannot be determined until an infringement claim has been made, we are unable to determine the maximum amount of losses that we could incur related to such indemnifications.

 

Director and Officer Indemnities and Contractual Guarantees

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, which require us to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Our indemnification obligations under such agreements are not limited in amount or duration. Certain costs incurred in connection with such indemnifications may be recovered under

13


 

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

(unaudited)

 

certain circumstances under various insurance policies. Given that the amount of any potential liabilities related to such indemnities cannot be determined until a lawsuit has been filed, we are unable to determine the maximum amount of losses that we could incur relating to such indemnities.

 

We have also entered into severance and change in control agreements with certain of our executives. These agreements provide for the payment of specific compensation benefits to such executives upon the termination of their employment with us.

 

Guarantees and Indemnities 

 

In the normal course of business, we are occasionally required to undertake indemnification for which we may be required to make future payments under specific circumstances. We review our exposure under such obligations no less than annually, or more frequently as required. The amount of any potential liabilities related to such obligations cannot be accurately determined until a formal claim is filed. Historically, any such amounts that become payable have not had a material negative effect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We maintain general and product liability insurance which may provide a source of recovery to us in the event of an indemnification claim.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

 

·

our future financial and operating results;

 

·

our business strategy;

 

·

our intentions, expectations and beliefs regarding anticipated growth, market penetration and trends in our business;

 

·

our dependence on growth in our customers’ businesses;

 

·

the effects of market conditions on our stock price and operating results;

 

·

our ability to maintain our competitive technological advantages against competitors in our industry;

 

·

our ability to timely and effectively adapt our existing technology and have our technology solutions gain market acceptance;

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q and are subject to uncertainties, assumptions and business and economic risks. As such, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth below in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Form 10-Q may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in our forward-looking statements.

 

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results,

15


 

Table of Contents

levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Critical Account Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. We regularly discuss with our audit committee the basis of our estimates. These estimates could change under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe that our critical account polices and estimates, as described in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, are our most critical accounting policies and are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. There have been no significant changes to these polices during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We sell our custom products into the following markets: automotive, industrial, medical and consumer. We sell our standard products in many different markets which are often unknown to us at the time of sale. Each market has different product design cycles. Products with longer design cycles often have much longer product life-cycles. Automotive, industrial, and medical products generally have longer design and life-cycles than consumer products. We currently have products with life-cycles that have exceeded twenty years and are ongoing.

 

The increase in net revenues was driven by increased sales of our custom products in the automotive, and industrial markets, partially offset by decreased sales of our custom products into the medical and consumer markets. We also had a significant increase in sales of our standard products. The growth in our custom product sales was driven by increased sales to our current customers for use in ongoing product lines. The decrease in custom medical and consumer market sales was driven primarily by the timing of orders from our current customers in these markets. Standard product sales increased due to an increase in orders from our current customers. The timing of orders from our customers is not always predictable and can be concentrated in varying periods during the year to coincide with their project and building plans.

Our cost of revenue is impacted by various factors including product mix, volume, material costs, manufacturing efficiencies, facilities costs, compensation costs and any provisions for excess and obsolete inventories. Cost of revenue was consistent with the same period in the prior year despite our increase in revenues. Cost of revenues decreased as a percentage of revenues primarily due to efficiencies gained, including improved utilization of fixed costs, as revenues increased.

Product development and research expenses, or R&D, consist primarily of compensation expenses for employees engaged in research, design and development activities. Our R&D team focuses both on internal design development, as well as design development aimed at addressing customer design challenges, in order to develop our HMI solutions. 

 

Our R&D costs decreased as compared to the prior year primarily due to a temporary decrease in R&D staffing. In future periods, we anticipate engineering, research and development costs to continue to surpass prior years as we normalize manufacturing staffing to meet our current production levels and then increase our engineering, research and development staffing to enhance our technology and product offerings. We intend to grow our global research and development center in Singapore substantially over the next five years, including by expanding our research and development team by approximately 20% per year, expanding the size of the facility, and investing in additional tools and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we entered into a five-year lease agreement in Singapore and began the modifications for our new 4,500 square foot R&D facility which we intend to occupy in July 2016.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, consist primarily of compensation expenses, legal and other professional fees, facilities expenses and communication expenses. The increase in SG&A expense is driven by increased compensation costs as we expand our SG&A team to support our growing business, as well as increased professional fees as a result of our successful efforts to regain active filing status with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our relisting on NASDAQ. We also had an increases in insurance costs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million of which $371,000 was held by our foreign subsidiaries, working capital of $7.1 million and no indebtedness. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds. We did not have any short-term or long-term investments as of March 31, 2016.

 

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to meet our business requirements for at least the next twelve months. If we require additional cash, we may attempt to raise additional capital through equity,

equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional financing by the incurrence of indebtedness, we will be subject to fixed payment obligations and could also be subject to restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional needed funds, we may also take measures to reduce expenses to offset any shortfall.

 

There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional needed capital on acceptable terms or at all, and the failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. In addition, if our future operating performance is below our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the $185,000 in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to net income of $606,000 and adjustments for non-cash charges of $53,000. The net change to operating assets of $474,000 was primarily due to the increase of $199,000 in accounts receivable and $168,000 in inventory, as well as an decrease of $141,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by a decrease of $14,000 in deferred revenue and an increase of $48,000 in all other assets including prepaids.

 

Accounts receivable decreased from $1.6 million at December 31, 2015 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2016 due to the timing of shipments and payments during the period. We had no past due accounts receivable at March 31, 2016. Inventories increased from $1.0 million at December 31, 2015 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2016. Inventory balances will fluctuate depending on the timing of materials purchases and product shipment. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased from $788,000 at December 31, 2015 to $647,000 at March 31, 2016 primarily due to the timing of payment for materials purchases. Deferred revenue decreased from $111,000 at December 31, 2015 to $97,000 at March 31, 2016 primarily due to the recognition of non-recurring engineering fees as deliverables were provided to the customer.

 

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities of $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to the purchase of capital equipment in the US and China. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property

infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

Operating Leases

 

We lease various office and manufacturing facilities, including our corporate headquarters in Westlake Village, California, under operating lease agreements that expire through 2020. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

 

Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2016, our principal commitments consisted of obligations under the operating leases for our offices. The following table summarizes our future minimum payments under these arrangements:

The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, or CEO, and chief financial officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
