7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES<br />

1) The Company has credit lines for guarantee of customs duties in 2009 and 2008. As<br />

of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of customs duties guaranteed by the<br />

bank was $3,200 and $3,400, respectively.<br />

2) The Company leased certain land (from 2008 to 2026), factories and offices (up to<br />

December 2026 and March 2011) under operating leases. Annual rental payments<br />

are approximately $84,175.<br />

3) Mio International Limited, the Company’s subsidiary, entered into a software<br />

technology transfer agreement with Nav N Go Kft (NNG). Because the two parties<br />

were involved in a dispute about contract termination, NNG filed a separate lawsuit<br />

against the Company’s three subsidiaries, Mio International Limited, Mio<br />

Technology Benelux NV and Mio Technology USA Limited, alleging their violation<br />

of contract and infringement of its copyright. The concerned parties had reached an<br />

agreement and NNG received the settlement money prescribed by the agreement. As<br />

a result, the case was subsequently closed and there is no possibility that the<br />

Company will incur any loss caused by the case.<br />
