| Commitments Disclosure [Text Block] | Commitments At September 30, 2013, the minimum payments under our operating leases for each of the five succeeding fiscal years were as follows (in thousands):
In October 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 100,000 square feet of office space. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the landlord constructed a single, three-story building of rentable space in Mountain View, California which we now lease and which serves as our headquarters. The term of the lease agreement, which commenced in November 2012, is for a period of 10 years, with a base lease commitment of approximately $40.0 million. We have two options to extend the term of the lease agreement at market rates. Each extension is for an additional 60 month term. In March 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 46,000 square feet of manufacturing, distribution and office space located in Milpitas, California which commenced in October, 2012. The term of the lease agreement is for a period of 60 months, with a base lease commitment of approximately $1.8 million and a single 60 month extension option. In connection with the acquisition of MTS, we assumed responsibility for 132,500 square feet of manufacturing, warehousing and office space in St. Petersburg, Florida. The remaining term of the original lease agreement was for a period of 12 years, which expires in September 2016 and at the time of the MTS acquisition, with a base lease commitment of approximately $3.9 million. We have two options to extend the term of the lease agreement at market rates. Each extension is for an additional 60 month term. In Leeds, United Kingdom, we lease an office and distribution center of approximately 16,500 square feet. The remaining term of the original ten year lease agreement is through June 8, 2021, with no extension options. The base lease commitment at the time of the MTS acquisition, converted from British Pounds at the conversion rate then in effect, was approximately $1.2 million. We also have smaller rented offices in Strongsville, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee, Waukegan, Illinois, the United Arab Emirates, the People's Republic of China and the Federal Republic of Germany. We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, we issue purchase orders with estimates of our requirements several months ahead of the delivery dates. Our near-term commitments to our contract manufacturers and suppliers totaled $7.5 million as of September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, we have recorded $4.7 million for uncertain tax positions under long term liabilities in accordance with GAAP, summarized under Note 1, “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” As these liabilities do not reflect actual tax assessments, the timing and amount of payments we might be required to make will depend upon a number of factors. Accordingly, as the timing and amount of payment cannot be estimated, we do not present this in a commitments table. |
