At December 31, 2019, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees and performance bonds securing certain performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled approximately $17,277. Of this amount, $2,634 is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions and an additional $4,162 represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company's short-term and long-term revolving lines of credit. Our Indian subsidiary also has $5,093 in customs bonds outstanding to secure the Company's customs and duties obligations in India.
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. Expenses related to litigation and other such proceedings or disputes reduce operating income. As of December 31, 2019, management believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable and reasonably estimable losses. 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.
In addition to the legal proceedings described above, in January 2020, the Company received service of process in a class action application in the Province of Quebec, Canada related to certain heating elements previously manufactured by THS and incorporated into portable construction heaters sold by certain manufacturers. The Company believes this claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claim. The Company continues to evaluate the facts and circumstances of this claim; however, due to the current uncertainty of the basis for the claim, the Company is unable to establish an amount of an accrual for this claim at this time.
