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 through 2015. For the fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, purchases under this commitment were $1,047,000, $898,000, and $816,000, 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 with parties we believe to be financially capable, none of these actions, if determined adversely, should have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.
