We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against us, which may adversely affect our financial results. In addition, from time to time, we are involved in various disputes, which may or may not be settled prior to legal proceedings being instituted and which may result in losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, relating to such unresolved disputes. As of March 31, 2016, management believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable and reasonably estimable losses. Expenses related to litigation reduce operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings or disputes would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results of operations or cash flows in any one accounting period. 
During fiscal 2015, we agreed to release the Predecessor owners from any further indemnity obligations. See Note 10, "Related Party Transactions." In exchange for this release, we received $1,700 for indemnity items that we have already paid and an estimate of potential contingencies associated with specific indemnity items. After offsetting certain indemnity items already included in our financial statements, we recorded miscellaneous income of $931. The identified contingencies relate to disputes with government agencies in India where we have estimated the outcome and included the expected settlement as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet.
The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business that would materially impact our results of operations or our financial position. We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.
