(1)     Represents the amounts recorded in respect of the loan payable due to Presidential Financial Corporation in accordance with the loan agreement.

Retroactive Billing Adjustments
 
The Company continues to support the Government’s review of the detailed supporting calculations for the retroactive billings described in Note 5 and to negotiate an incremental final amount related to indirect costs and fees applied to these retroactive billings. The additional indirect costs and fees are estimated to be between $0.4 million and $0.6 million. The Company has developed these estimates under the same contractual provisions applied to the sites that were settled in 2008. However, because these amounts remain subject to government review, no assurances can be given that any amounts the Company may receive will be within the range specified above. Refer to Note 5, Accounts Receivable for further information.

Workers Compensation

We accrue workers compensation expense based on claims submitted, applying actuarial loss development factors to estimate the costs incurred but not yet recorded. Our accrued liability for claims development for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $767,000 and $563,000, respectively.

Legal Proceedings
 
As the Company has previously reported, it was advised of a claim by the U.S. Attorney based on an alleged omission to pay certain classes of employees the prevailing wages as required by the Service Contract Act during the years 2003-2010. On
December 12, 2013, the Company was further advised by the U.S. Attorney that, after a review of the merits of the complaint, the U.S. Department of Justice declined to intervene and the claim has been dismissed in its entirety.
