Commitments and Contingencies |
6. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases We lease office and warehouse space through operating leases. Some of the leases have renewal clauses, which range from 3 to 6 years. The following schedule represents the annual future minimum payments under these commitments, as of December 31, 2013:
As a result of our divestiture of our non-branded entertainment media operations and our discontinuance of DRTV operations, in the fourth quarter of 2013 we closed our office in New York, NY and recognized an expense representing the cumulative remaining obligation under that lease agreement, net of expected recoveries from sublease agreements. The previous table reflects the future minimum payments we are obligated to make on this lease agreement. We incurred rent expense of $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to risks and uncertainties in the normal course of our business, including legal proceedings; governmental regulation, such as the interpretation of tax and labor laws; and consumer sensitivity to changes in general economic conditions. We have accrued for probable and estimatable costs that may be incurred with respect to identified risks and uncertainties based upon the facts and circumstances currently available to us. Due to uncertainties in the estimating process, actual costs could vary from those accruals. |
