These arrangements totaled approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$14,276</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  Of this amount, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$1,691</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions.  The remaining </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$12,586</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company’s short term and long term revolving lines of credit and performance bonds that the Company has secured.

Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against us, which may adversely affect our financial results. In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes, which may or may not be settled prior to legal proceedings being instituted and which may result in losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, relating to such unresolved disputes. As of June 30, 2013, management believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation reduce operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings or disputes would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results of operations or cash flows in any one accounting period. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below. We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Notice of Tax Dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency- </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On June 13, 2011, we received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency, which we refer to as the "Agency", advising us that they disagree with the tax treatment we proposed with respect to certain asset transfers that were completed in August 2007 by our predecessor owners.  During fiscal 2013, we were informed by the Agency that their initial audit was concluded but they intended to make an assessment under Canada's General Anti Avoidance Rule. Under this rule, the Agency may assess a withholding tax on dividends deemed to have been made on loans made to our Canadian subsidiary during 2007. Such assessment could be </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$3.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> plus penalties and interest. At June 30, 2013, we have not recorded a tax liability reserve due for this matter with the Agency as we consider it more likely than not that our tax position will be fully sustained.  While we will vigorously contest this ruling, we expect that any liability, if any, will be covered under an indemnity agreement with the predecessor owners.</font></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
