13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Commitments. We lease office space and certain equipment under operating leases that expire at various times through 2020. Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2017, were as follows:


Year Ending December 31,	Operating Leases
2018		723
2019		338
2020		84

	$	1,145

Lease payments under operating leases were $952 thousand, $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Contingencies. We are sometimes a party to litigation incidental to our business. We believe that these routine legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We are not involved in any legal proceedings which would be material to our consolidated financial statements. We maintain insurance in amounts with coverages and deductibles that we believe are reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that such coverages will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover possible claims that may arise in the future, or that our insurers will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more claims against the Company that exceed available insurance coverages or changes in the Company’s insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of a large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, penalties or interest expense related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017 or 2016.
