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.

Government Contracting

Payments to the Company on cost-plus-fee and time-and-materials contracts are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and other government agencies that do not utilize DCAA’s services. The DCAA is currently nearing completion of its audit of the Company’s incurred cost submissions for the year ended June 30, 2010, and an intelligence agency is nearing completion of its audit of direct costs on selected contracts through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.  DCAA audits of our incurred cost submissions for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 have commenced, and an intelligence agency has commenced audits of direct costs on selected contracts through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.  In the opinion of management, adjustments that may result from these audits and the audits not yet 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. 

On March 26, 2012, the Company received a subpoena from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service seeking documents related to one of the Company’s contracts for the period of January 1, 2007 through March 26, 2012.  The Company has provided documents responsive to the subpoena and is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation.  The Company has accrued its current best estimate of the potential outcome within its estimated range of zero to $3.9 million.

On April 9, 2012, the Company received a letter from the Department of Justice (DoJ) informing the Company that the DoJ is investigating whether the Company violated the civil False Claims Act by submitting false claims to receive federal funds pursuant to a GSA contract.  Specifically, the DoJ is investigating whether the Company failed to comply with contract requirements and applicable regulations by improperly billing for certain contracting personnel under the contract.  The Company has not accrued any liability as based on its present knowledge of the facts, it does not believe an unfavorable outcome is probable.

We pursued an appeal at the ASBCA of a determination made by the Army Contracting Command in response to an audit performed on behalf of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) of two task orders under which we performed work in Afghanistan.  We appealed the Army’s determination that our methods for computing employee danger pay were incorrect, and needed to be changed.  In a decision dated July 18, 2016, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals ruled in favor of the Company.

We are also pursuing appeals at the ASBCA of determinations and demands made by the DCMA associated with questioned direct costs from DCAA audits of our incurred cost submissions for our fiscal years ending June 30 2006, 2007, and 2008.  The Company has not accrued any liabilities for these determinations and demands and does not believe unfavorable outcomes are probable.

German Value-Added Taxes

The Company is under audit by the German tax authorities for issues related to value-added tax returns.  At this time, the Company has not been assessed any deficiency and, based on sound factual and legal precedent, believes it is in compliance with the applicable value-added tax regulations.  The Company has not accrued any liability for this matter because an unfavorable outcome is not considered probable.  The Company estimates the range of reasonably possible losses to be from zero to $3.9 million.

Virginia Sales and Use Tax Audit

The Company is under audit for sales and use tax related issues by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company has accrued its current best estimate of the probable outcome within its estimated range of $3.0 million to $5.3 million.
