Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Obligations – As of September 30, 2011, we had unrecorded purchase obligations in the amount of $47.2 million. These purchase obligations consist of outstanding purchase orders for goods and services. While the amount represents purchase agreements, the actual amounts to be paid may be less in the event that any agreements are renegotiated, canceled or terminated. Legal Proceedings – The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants from time to time in actions for matters arising out of their business operations. The Company does not believe that any matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. License agreement – The Company entered into amendments with one of our technology partners to both the PSG license and the PECVD license to expand the licenses to include one future model of the PSG dry etch systems and three future models of the PECVD system. These amendments to the licenses require the Company to pay additional license fees upon successful achievement of the agreed upon specifications of each of the four new models. The four payments range from three hundred million South Korean Won (KRW), approximately $230,000, to one billion KRW, approximately $780,000, for maximum total payments of approximately $1,420,000. Such payments, if any, will be recorded as additional intangibles, the cost of which will be amortized over the life of the license. Due to the extended amount of time to reach the agreed upon specifications it is uncertain whether these commitments will materialize. Operating Leases – The Company leases buildings, vehicles and equipment under operating leases. Rental expense under such operating leases was $1.2 million, $1.0 million, $0.9 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more totaled $3.7 million, of which $1.3 million, $0.7 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million is payable in fiscal 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and $0.5 million, thereafter.
