7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation—In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation incidental to its business, certain of which includes speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when it believes that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews each of its legal proceedings to determine whether it is probable, reasonably possible or remote that a liability has been incurred and, if it is at least reasonably possible, whether a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of a loss. The Company’s management is not aware of any pending legal proceeding or other loss contingency, whether asserted or unasserted, affecting the Company for which it might become liable or the outcome of which management expects to have a material impact on the Company. However, the outcome of legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
