12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of January 1, 2020, the Company instituted a self-insured health benefits plan with a stop-loss policy, which provides medical benefits to employees electing coverage under the plan. The Company estimates and records costs for incurred but not reported medical claims and claim development. This reserve is based on historical experience and other assumptions, some of which are subjective. The Company will adjust its self-insured medical benefits reserve based on actual experience, estimated costs and changes to assumptions. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company accrued a $323 and $110, respectively, liability for incurred but not reported claims.

The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The Company’s obligation under these repurchase agreements ceases upon the purchase of the home by the retail customer. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable under such agreements totaled $5,292 and $2,967 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. The Company considers its obligations on current contracts to be insignificant and accordingly have not recorded any reserve for repurchase commitment as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Leases. The Company leases facilities under operating leases that typically have 10-year terms. These leases usually offer the Company a right of first refusal that affords the Company the option to purchase the leased premises under certain terms in the event the landlord attempts to sell the leased premises to a third party. Rent expense was $140 and $135 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $436 and $423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company also subleases properties to third parties, ranging from 3-year to 11-year terms with various renewal options. Rental income from the subleased property was approximately $82 and $90 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $263 and $264 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Future minimum lease commitments under all non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five years at September 30, 2021, are as follows:


2021		$	124
2022			490
2023			481
2024			371
2025			335
Thereafter			665
Total		$	2,466

Legal Matters

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. Certain of the claims pending against the Company in these proceedings allege, among other things, breach of contract and warranty, product liability and personal injury. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience and the information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances currently unknown to management will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
