Guarantees [Abstract] |
Guarantees | NOTE 11: Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into guarantee contracts with certain customers, generally in the Company’s Surface Inspection Systems Division (SISD) business. These guarantees are collateralized by standby letters of credit (LOC) which can be grouped into three categories: (1) bank guarantees which may require the Company to return a customer’s initial payment if the Company cannot deliver the order; (2) warranty bonds which may require the Company to resolve warranty issues within a specified time period; and (3) performance bonds which include a combination of the above two options. The type of LOC is generally determined based upon customer request and the guarantee amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments. All of the Company’s LOCs are with the same counterparty and they do not contain any recourse provisions or collateral obligations. The following table details the letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
Type |  | Guarantee Amount |  |  | Guarantee due date
Performance Bonds |  | $ | 399 |  |  | Various from January 2014 to July 2016
Bank Guarantees |  |  | 420 |  |  | Various from January 2014 to May 2014
Warranty Bonds |  |  | 1,127 |  |  | Various from January 2014 to June 2016
|  | $ | 1,946 |  |  |
The Company evaluates losses for guarantees under accounting for contingencies. The Company considers such factors as the degree of probability that the Company would be required to satisfy the liability and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the loss. To date, the Company has not incurred any losses as a result of these obligations, and therefore, has not recorded any liability related to such obligation in its financial statements. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding guarantees is immaterial for all periods presented.
