Commitments and Contingencies Operating Lease Commitments The Company leases various office and warehouse facilities in North America and Asia under operating leases expiring through 2022. The Company also has short term contracts of one year or less covering its third party warehouses that provide for contingent payments based on the level of sales that are processed through the third party warehouse. The remaining future minimum rental payments under the above operating leases are as follows:

During fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s continuing operations incurred total operating lease expenses of $3,030,000, $2,928,000 and $2,567,000, respectively. Commitments to Provide Marketing Allowances under Long-Term Customer Contracts The Company has or is renegotiating long-term agreements with many of its major customers. Under these agreements, which typically have initial terms of at least four years, the Company is designated as the exclusive or primary supplier for specified categories of remanufactured alternators and starters. In consideration for the Company’s designation as a customer’s exclusive or primary supplier, the Company typically provides the customer with a package of marketing incentives. These incentives differ from contract to contract and can include (i) the issuance of a specified amount of credits against receivables in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract, (ii) support for a particular customer’s research or marketing efforts provided on a scheduled basis, (iii) discounts granted in connection with each individual shipment of product, and (iv) other marketing, research, store expansion or product development support. These contracts typically require that the Company meet ongoing standards related to fulfillment, price, and quality. The Company’s contracts with major customers expire at various dates through March 2019. The Company typically grants its customers marketing allowances in connection with these customers’ purchase of goods. The Company records the cost of all marketing allowances provided to its customers. Such allowances include sales incentives and concessions and typically consist of: (i) allowances which may only be applied against future purchases and are recorded as a reduction to revenues in accordance with a schedule set forth in the long-term contract, (ii) allowances related to a single exchange of product that are recorded as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when such incentives are offered, and (iii) allowances that are made in connection with the purchase of inventory from a customer. The following table presents the breakout of allowances for our continuing operations discussed above, recorded as a reduction to revenues:

Workers Compensation Insurance Effective January 1, 2007 through the current fiscal year, the Company’s workers compensation insurance policy has been written on a guaranteed cost basis (first dollar payment of claims with no deductibles). For each of the five years prior to January 1, 2007, the Company purchased workers compensation insurance on a large deductible plan and for claims during this period the Company continues to be liable for the first $250,000 of each claim until all claims are settled (essentially self-insured). The Company records an estimate of its liability for the self-insured portion of its workers’ compensation policy by including an estimate of the total claims incurred and reported as well as an estimate of incurred, but not reported, claims by applying the Company’s historical claims development factor to its estimate of incurred and reported claims.
