21.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are committed to minimum purchases of $700,000 of Selan® skin care products per calendar year for each calendar year from 2012 through 2015.  For the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, purchases under this commitment were $816,000, $832,000, and $745,000, respectively.

From time to time we are defendants in legal actions involving claims arising in the normal course of business.  We believe that, as a result of legal defenses and insurance arrangements, none of these actions should have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.
