12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases offices and equipment under non-cancelable 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 and for related legal costs as incurred.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the net assets of HBN on October 7, 2013, 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 (the “Court”) to determine the fair value of HBN. Based on both the plaintiff’s and the defendants’ expert valuation reports, the Company believes that the potential impact to its financial position and results of operations could range from $26,000 to approximately $2,656,000. HBN vigorously defended its position that the consideration paid for the net assets of HBN approximated fair value.  Discovery continued during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and a trial to hear the case before the Court occurred between April 14, 2015 and April 17, 2015.  At the conclusion thereof, a decision had not been rendered and post-trial briefs have been mandated by the Court.  As a result, the Company has determined that no amount within the range of potential impact is a better estimate than any other amount and therefore, no changes to the previously recorded accrual of $26,000 occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015.   

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.
