| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 14. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitments The Company had $170.9 million of purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for inventory items as of June 30, 2013. Guarantees In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these types of agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments under these types of agreements have not had a material adverse effect on business, results of operations or financial condition. Income Taxes The Company is subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various other tax authorities. The Company has reserved for potential adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities, and the Company believes that the final outcome of these examinations or agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of tax benefits in the period the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. Product Warranties The Company generally offers a one-year limited warranty for its Flash memory products. Changes in the Company’s liability for product warranty were as follows:
Legal Matters The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arose in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
