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 2012, 2011 and 2010, purchases under this commitment were $898,000, $816,000, and $832,000, 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.
