were not included in the computation of diluted income per common share because the options’ exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares. The options which expire in years 2018 to 2020 were still
outstanding at the end of 2014.
15. Commitments and contingencies:
(a) The Company has several non-cancelable lease and purchase obligations primarily for general office

minimum payments under these agreements are as follows:
Contractual Obligations for the year ending December 31,

2018 642,000 — 642,000

Rental expense under operating lease agreements was $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the years
ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(b) In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal claims and
lawsuits. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. While the final outcome with respect to any actions
outstanding or pending as of December 31, 2014 cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that
their resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.
