Commitments and Contingencies

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into leases of approximately $3.8 million and $7.6 million. These leases were primarily to fund the construction of our laboratory in Houston, Texas. These leases have 36 month terms, a $1.00 buyout option at the end of the term and interest rates ranging from 4.6% to 5.9%.  The Company accounted for these leases as capital leases.
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in ongoing litigation with Health Discovery Corporation (“HDC”) regarding the use of certain licensed technology under a Master License Agreement (“MLA”) dated January 6, 2012 between the Company and HDC.  As required under the MLA, the parties are required to submit such matters in dispute under the MLA to binding arbitration, which is expected to take place in December 2018.  The Company is vigorously defending its legal rights and remedies pertaining to this licensing dispute.  The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
