Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | ( 1 1 ) Commitments and Contingencies Insurance recoveries. We maintain general liability, business interruption and replacement cost property insurance coverage on our facilities. In August 2018, a transformer outage and electrical fire occurred at our Dayton, Texas manufacturing facility, which resulted in the temporary curtailment of operations. Alternative power arrangements for the facility were subsequently made, allowing for operations to continue until permanent repairs could be completed. We are in the process of preparing the supporting analysis for the insurance claim related to the business interruption and property damage resulting from the fire. During 2018, we received $183,000 of insurance proceeds related to the claim and recorded a $462,000 receivable for the anticipated insurance proceeds associated with the expenses incurred as of the end of the year. The insurance proceeds attributable to the additional expenses incurred were recorded in cost of sales ( $645,000 ) on the consolidated statements of operations. In August 2017, operations at our manufacturing facility located in Dayton, Texas were adversely affected by hurricane Harvey. We are in the process of finalizing the supporting analysis for insurance claims relating to the business interruption and property damage resulting from the storm. During 2018, we received $439,000 of insurance proceeds related to the claim and recorded a $52,000 receivable for the anticipated insurance proceeds associated with the expenses that were incurred and capital outlays required to replace property and equipment damaged in the storm. The insurance proceeds attributable to the additional expenses incurred were recorded in cost of sales ( $439,000 ), SG&A expense ( $26,000 ) and other income ( $26,000 ) on the consolidated statements of operations. We believe the coverage provided for under our insurance policies is sufficient to cover the losses incurred from these claims. Leases and p urchase c ommitments . We lease a portion of our equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2023. Additionally, we leased our facility in Houston, Texas through September 30, 2017 and subsequently exercised the $4.9 million purchase option under the lease in October 2017. Under most lease agreements, we pay insurance, taxes and maintenance. Rental expense for operating leases was $1.5 million in 2018 and $1.8 million in 2017 and 2016. As of September 29, 2018, minimum rental commitments under all non-cancelable leases with an initial term in excess of one year are payable as follows: 2019, $1.0 million; 2020 $543,000; 2021, $185,000; 2022, $22,000 and 2023 and beyond, $16,000. As of September 29, 2018, we had $75.1 million in non-cancelable purchase commitments for raw material extending as long as approximately 100 days and $9.6 million of contractual commitments for the purchase of certain equipment that had not been fulfilled and are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Legal proceedings . We are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, environmental and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect the ultimate outcome or cost to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Seve rance and change of control a greements. We have entered into severance agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that provide them with certain termination benefits in the event their employment with us is terminated without cause. The initial term of each agreement is two years and they automatically renew for successive one year terms unless we or the executive provide notice of termination as specified in the agreement. In the event of termination of the executive’s employment without cause, these agreements provide that they would receive termination benefits equal to one and one -half times their annual base salary in effect on the termination date and the continuation of health and welfare benefits for eighteen months. In addition, all of the executive’s stock options and restricted stock would vest immediately, and outplacement services would be provided. We have also entered into change in control agreements with key members of management, including our executive officers, which specify the terms of separation in the event that termination of their employment followed a change in control. The initial term of each agreement is two years and they automatically renew for successive one year terms unless we or the executive provide notice of termination as specified in the agreement. The agreements do not provide assurances of continued employment or specify the terms of an executive’s termination should one occur in the absence of a change in control. The compensation payable under the terms of these agreements differs between the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and the other covered executives. In the event of termination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer within two years of a change of control, they would receive severance benefits equal to two times base compensation, two times the average bonus for the prior three years and the continuation of health and welfare benefits for two years. In the event of such a termination of the other key members of management, including our other two executive officers, within two years of a change of control, they would receive severance benefits equal to one times base compensation, one times the average bonus for the prior three years and the continuation of health and welfare benefits for one year. In addition, for any covered executive that is terminated within two years of a change of control, all of their stock options and restricted stock would vest immediately, and outplacement services would be provided.
