5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leased space for certain of its offices and airport facilities under leases expiring from one month to two years after September 30, 2013. In 2012, the Company abandoned the leased properties but remain still liable for unpaid rent which has been accrued.

 

The Company has, from time to time, been involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation that have occurred in the normal course of business. The Company routinely assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest available information and, when necessary, seeks input from its third-party advisors when making these assessments. Described below are material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business), material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, other proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws and regulations (including governmental proceedings involving potential fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions in excess of $10,000) and such other pending matters that we may determine to be appropriate.
