NOTE 5. CONTINGENCY
On October 1, 2020, the Trust engaged Citrin Cooperman & Company LLP, an accounting firm specializing in auditing royalty income (“
Citrin
”), to conduct a special audit of the books and records of EMI administered by Sony/ATV to determine the areas and extent of underpayment, if any, of quarterly Contingent Portion payments payable to the Trust for the periods beginning January 1, 2016 and ended December 31, 2020 (the “
Audit Period
”). Citrin’s final report (the “
Citrin Report
”) was delivered to the Trustees on April 4, 2022. The Citrin Report identified multiple asserted royalty omissions and expense over-deductions from the Contingent Portion during the Audit Period. The Trust distributed the Citrin Report to EMI on April 13, 2022.
