Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. At December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued a liability of $161,137 for a referral fee payable to a former owner of Sonix Medical Technologies, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company agreed to settle the liability for $55,614 and reversed an accrued expense of $105,523, which reduced general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Leases The Company leases certain office space and other facilities under operating leases expiring through 2021.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with related parties as of June 30, 2014 are as follows (leases with non-related parties are all cancellable):
Total rental expense, included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, including amounts for related party leases described in Note 9, amounted to $233,734 and $206,523 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $128,584 and $103,440 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
