COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We are involved in disputes and legal actions arising in the normal course of our business. While we currently believe that the amount of any ultimate loss would not be material to our financial position, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or reported results of operations. An unfavorable decision in intellectual property litigation also could require material changes in production processes and products or result in our inability to ship products or components found to have violated third party intellectual property rights. We accrue loss contingencies in connection with our commitments and contingencies, including litigation, when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. We are not currently a party to any legal action that we believe would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We maintain defined benefit pension plans for certain of our non-U.S. employees, including the United Kingdom. In light of the United Kingdom’s High Court ruling in the case of Virgin Media Ltd v. NTL Pension Trustees II Ltd & Ors, which was recently upheld on appeal, we are reviewing past amendments made to our United Kingdom pension plans to evaluate whether any changes were implemented in conflict with section 37 of the United Kingdom Pension Schemes Act 1993. Should there be a challenge to any previous amendments to our pension plan in the United Kingdom, we could face potential litigation and compliance risks. We continue to account for our United Kingdom pension arrangements in accordance with the plan agreements and amendments, as we believe they represent a mutual understanding and agreement among all parties.
