Note 14 - Fire At Manufacturing Facility
Fire at Manufacturing Facility	13. FIRE AT MANUFACTURING FACILITY In June 2011, we experienced a fire that damaged certain inventory and machinery and equipment at our facility in China. The total amount of the loss pertaining to assets and the related expenses was approximately $1,589. We have pursued a claim against our insurance policy, with the majority of our insurance claim related to the recovery of damaged inventory. We have received payments in June 2012 and April 2013 totaling approximately $1,286 as a partial payment on our insurance claim, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized. As of September 27, 2015, we reflect a receivable from the insurance company relating to this claim of $177, which is net of our deductible of approximately $130, and represents additional proceeds expected to be received.
