LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 9 – LEGAL CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company may have pending claims and legal proceedings. The Company maintains accrued expense balances for the estimated amounts of legal costs expected to be billed related to any significant matter. In the opinion of management, based on information available at this time, there are no current claims and proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. However, the outcomes of such legal claims and proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. In March 2025, APC’s subsidiary in the U.K., Atlantic Projects Company (UK) Limited (“APC UK”) sued EP NI Energy Limited and EP UK Investment Limited (together referred to as “EP”) in the High Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts of England and Wales for EP’s breach of contract and failure to remedy various events which negatively impacted the schedule and costs of an overseas project, resulting in EP receiving the benefits of the construction efforts of APC UK and the corresponding progress on the project without making payments for the value received. As previously disclosed, APC UK provided notice to terminate as a result of project owner breaches of the contract. Those breaches were not resolved, as a result of which the contract terminated on May 3, 2024. Subsequently, the project owner made a draw for the full amount of a $9.2 million irrevocable letter of credit, or on-demand performance bond, issued by the Company’s bank. APC UK and the Company believe the project owner initiated the draw without cause and, therefore, the amount should be refunded. This amount is included in accounts receivable as of April 30, 2025. APC UK has significant billable receivables, unresolved contract variations and claims for extensions of time, among other issues, related to the overseas project. The project owner has asserted counterclaims that APC UK disputes. APC UK will vigorously assert its rights and claims in order to recover its lost value and collect any remaining monies owed.
