NOTE 18. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

General Legal Matters

 

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss associated with such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and liquidity.

 

Iraq Investigations

 

On April 26, 2004, the Company received information indicating that one of its employees was identified in a report authored by U.S. Army Major General Antonio M. Taguba as being connected to allegations of abuse of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison facility. To date, despite the Taguba Report and the subsequently-issued Fay Report addressing alleged inappropriate conduct at Abu Ghraib, no present or former employee of the Company has been officially charged with any offense in connection with the Abu Ghraib allegations. 

 

The Company does not believe the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.

 

Government Contracting

 

Payments to the Company on cost-plus-fee and time-and-materials contracts are subject to adjustment upon audit by the DCAA. The DCAA is currently in the process of auditing the Company's incurred cost submissions for the year ended June 30, 2006. In the opinion of management, audit adjustments that may result from audits not yet completed or started are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as the Company has accrued its best estimate of potential disallowances. Additionally, the DCAA continually reviews the cost accounting and other practices of government contractors, including the Company. In the course of those reviews, cost accounting and other issues are identified, discussed and settled.

 

In December 2010, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) issued a letter to the Company with its determination that the Company improperly allocated certain legal costs incurred in connection with the Iraq investigations described above. The Company does not agree with the DCMA's findings and, on March 9, 2011, filed a Notice of Appeal in the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. The Company's appeal is pending. The Company has accrued its current best estimate of the potential outcome within its estimated range of zero to $2.9 million.
