Litigation

On April 23, 2012, a complaint was filed against the Company in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging, among other things, that the Company had failed to pay overtime compensation to certain employees as required by federal law. On May 24, 2012, a related complaint was filed against the Company in the same court alleging, among other things, that the Company failed to pay overtime compensation to certain independent contractor examiners who, the complaint alleges, should be treated as employees for purposes of federal law. The complaints seek award of an unspecified amount of allegedly unpaid overtime wages to certain examiners. The Company believes the allegations in the cases are without merit, has filed answers in both cases denying the substantive allegations therein, and intends to defend the cases vigorously.

The Company is a party to a number of other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company has substantial legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to all of its pending legal actions. Accordingly, none of these actions is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, its consolidated results of operations or its consolidated financial position.
