NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


LEGAL MATTERS


From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities.


The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods. Other than the Barsell matter discussed earlier, we are not presently a party to any pending or threatened material legal proceedings.


LEASES


In October 2009, we entered into two new leases for office and laboratory space. The terms of the new leases are three years and two years, respectively, and the initial base lease payments are $6,045 per month and $1,667 per month, respectively.


On October 4, 2011 we entered into an amendment to extend our lease for our laboratory by an additional three years. The amendment also included additional tenant improvements in the approximate amount of $30,000.
