Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

 

The Company follows ASC guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

 

Obligations under operating leases

 

The Company leases certain assets, such as office equipment and office facilities, under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2020. Future minimum annual lease payments are $247 in the remainder of 2014, $429 in 2015, $389 in 2016 and $328 in 2017, totaling $1,393.
