8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company received municipal tax abatements in certain locations. In prior years, the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements and that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to the Company’s tax abatement. The Company disputed the adjustment and such dispute has been settled with the municipality. However, the amount of additional property taxes to be assessed against the Company and the timing of the related payments has not been finalized. As of June 30, 2015, the Company believes it has adequately accrued for the expected assessment.

In April 2010, a sales employee of eCOST (the former name of Retail Connect) was charged with violating various federal criminal statutes in connection with the sales of eCOST products to certain customers, and approximately $620,000 held in an eCOST deposit account was seized and turned over to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in connection with such activity. In August 2012, the employee pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Neither the Company nor eCOST have been charged with any criminal activity, and the Company is seeking the recovery of the funds that are currently classified as other receivables on the June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 balance sheets. Based on the information available to date, the Company is unable to determine the amount of the loss, if any, relating to the seizure of such funds. No assurance can be given, however, that the seizure of such funds, or the inability of the Company to recover such funds or any significant portion thereof, or any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In connection with a client project, the Company has provided a $1.3 million performance bond which may be drawn upon in the event of a default by the Company of its obligations under the project, or, in the absence of a default, upon successful completion of the project, the bond will be returned.

The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. PFS is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims asserted against such clients alleging infringement by PFS of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.
