Note 12 – Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business and/or which are covered by insurance.  The Company believes that it has accrued adequate reserves individually and in the aggregate for such legal proceedings.  Should actual litigation results differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to increase or decrease the accrued reserves may be required.  Our former outside legal counsel had brought a claim against us for $593,000 plus interest, which we have settled subsequent to the end of the year for $600,000.  The liability is included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Of the settlement, $275,000 was paid in April 2014, with the remainder due in monthly installments over the next 2 years.
