11. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases offices and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, subject to certain provisions for renewal options and escalation clauses.

Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for legal matters as appropriate. The Company records litigation accruals for legal matters which are both probable and estimable.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the net assets of HBN on October 7, 2013 (as described in Note 5, Acquisitions), several shareholders of HBN dissented from the transaction alleging the Company purchased the net assets of HBN below fair value and demanded payment for their shares in excess of consideration paid. Pursuant to the dissenters’ rights statute in the State of Colorado, on February 11, 2014, HBN petitioned the District Court of Denver County, Colorado to determine the fair value of HBN. Discovery is ongoing and a trial date is currently scheduled for April 2015. Based on both the plaintiff’s and the defendants’ expert valuation reports produced to date, the Company believes that the potential impact to its financial position and results of operations could range from a de minimis amount to approximately $2,656,000. The Company has determined that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount. Accordingly, the Company currently has not recorded an accrual in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. HBN intends to vigorously defend its position that the consideration paid for the net assets of HBN was the fair value.   

Except for the ongoing litigation concerning the acquisition of the net assets of HBN, management of the Company believes other such litigation matters involving a reasonably possible chance of loss will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
