10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are involved in various legal and environmental matters which arise in the normal course of business. Although the final outcome of these matters cannot be determined, based on the facts presently known, we believe that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or future results of operations.

 

Lease Guarantees

 

We were contingently liable under a licensee lease obligation guarantee in the amounts of $1,889 and $1,880 at February 25, 2023 and November 26, 2022, respectively. The remaining term under this lease guarantee extends for five years.

 

In the event of default by an independent dealer under the guaranteed lease, we believe that the risk of loss is mitigated through a combination of options that include, but are not limited to, arranging for a replacement dealer or liquidating the collateral (primarily inventory). The proceeds of the above options are expected to cover the estimated amount of our future payments under the guarantee obligation, net of recorded reserves. The fair value of this lease guarantee (an estimate of the cost to the Company to perform on the guarantee) at February 25, 2023 and November 26, 2022 was not material.
