Due from Insurance Company
 
In
June
2011,
we experienced a fire that damaged certain inventory and machinery and equipment at our facility in China. The fire occurred after business hours and was fully extinguished quickly with no injuries, and the plant was back in full operation shortly thereafter with no significant disruption in supply or service to customers. We maintain adequate insurance coverage for this operation.
 
The total amount of the loss pertaining to assets and the related expenses was approximately
$1,589,
including damaged inventory, business interruption and lost profits. We have pursued a claim against our insurance policy, with the majority of our insurance claim related to the recovery of damaged inventory. We had 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. Since the filing of the claim and through
June
26,
2016,
we reflected a receivable from the insurance company of
$177,
net of our deductible of approximately
$126,
representing additional proceeds expected to be received. On
September
6,
2016,
our claim was finalized with the insurance company resulting in a
$55
loss included in our
2016
results.
