COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	13. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company accrued a $326 and $373, 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 $14,749 and $4,908 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 $163 and $151 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 $91 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 5 – Leases, for a schedule of the Company’s future minimum lease commitments. 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. The Company has determined that it is probable that it has some liability related to the claims. The Company has included legal reserves of $2,707 and $2,764 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. 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.
