Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases which expire at various dates through fiscal 2022 and require us to pay a portion of the related operating expenses such as maintenance, property taxes, and insurance. Certain facilities and equipment leases contain renewal options for periods up to ten years. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Certain facilities leases have free or escalating rent payment provisions. Rent expense under such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases, excluding the related operating expenses, which have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of a year as of March 31, 2013:
(In thousands) | Amount
Fiscal year ending March 31, |
2014 | $ | 3,547 |
2015 | 2,923 |
2016 | 2,696 |
2017 | 1,265 |
2018 | 958 |
Thereafter | 1,704 |
Total minimum lease payments | $ | 13,093 |
Total minimum future rental payments have been reduced by $0.1 million of sublease rentals estimated to be received in the future under non-cancelable subleases. Rental expense for all non-cancelable operating leases amounted to $3.3 million, $4.1 million, and $5.3 million for fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation liability represents the estimated costs to bring certain office buildings that we lease back to their original condition after the termination of the lease. In instances where our lease agreements either contain make-whole provisions or subject us to remediation costs, we establish an asset retirement obligation liability with a corresponding leasehold improvement asset. The asset retirement obligation is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2013, the current and long-term portion of the asset retirement obligation liability was $30,000 and $0.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the current and long-term portion of the asset retirement obligation was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Legal Contingencies Agilysys is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products, software, components and/or systems sold by us infringe three patents owned by Ameranth purporting to cover generation and synchronization of menus, including restaurant menus, event tickets, and other products across fixed, wireless and/or internet platforms as well as synchronization of hospitality information and hospitality software applications across fixed, wireless and internet platforms. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys fees. The parties to the lawsuit are currently engaged in discovery. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter. On February 28, 2013 we participated in a mediation that resulted in a tentative agreement to resolve the wage and hour putative class action lawsuit filed against the company on July 9, 2012, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. A motion for preliminary approval of a proposed settlement in the amount of $1.5 million was filed with the court on June 6, 2013.
