| 5. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments The Company has entered into various operating leases for buildings and for office and computer equipment. Rental expense under these leases was $1,533, $1,230 and $1,126 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2015 future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for the next five years and in the aggregate are as follows:
2016 |  | $ | 504 |
2017 |  |  | 329 |
2018 |  |  | 169 |
2019 |  |  | 85 |
2020 |  |  | 84 |
Thereafter |  |  | 382 |
|  | $ | 1,553 |
The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of a default by the independent distributor customer, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the independent distributor customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. The maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $38,334 and $31,458 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No repurchases of products were required during 2015 or 2014. The Company is in the process of consolidating and expanding its Pennsylvania manufacturing operations to increase capacity and improve operating efficiencies. The plan includes consolidating primary manufacturing operations at one location while plans for the remaining plant location continue to be evaluated. The current estimated costs of this project are approximately $22,700, including machinery and equipment, buildings and improvements and land. Approximately $9,011 of these costs were incurred as of December 31, 2015 and are included in property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The remainder of these costs is expected to be incurred during 2016. The timing and costs of the project are subject to change. We do not anticipate any employee severance costs or any material relocation expense associated with the consolidation since the two existing facilities are very close to each other. The Company also recently began several capital projects involving machinery and equipment and building improvements at its Ooltewah, Tennessee and Greeneville, Tennessee facilities that it estimates will cost in total approximately $15,000 through the end of 2016. Approximately $100 of these costs were incurred as of December 31, 2015. Contingencies The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
