NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company believes it has adequate legal defenses with respect to each of the suits and intends to vigorously defend against these actions. However, it is reasonably possible that these cases could result in outcomes unfavorable to the Company. While the Company currently believes that the amounts of the ultimate potential loss would not be material to the Company’s financial position, the outcome of litigation is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material effect on the financial position or reported results of operations in a particular quarter.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The Company’s employer and health care operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws related to employment, taxes and benefit plan matters. Generally, these rules affect all companies in the United States. However, the rules that govern professional employer organizations (“PEO”) constitute an evolving area due to uncertainties resulting from the non-traditional employment relationship among the PEO, the client and the client employees. Many federal and state laws relating to tax and employment matters were enacted before the widespread existence of PEO’s and do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of these PEO relationships. If the Internal Revenue Service concludes that PEO’s are not “employers” of certain client employees for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its cafeteria plan may lose its favorable tax status, the Company may no longer be able to assume the client’s federal employment tax withholding obligations, and certain defined employee benefit plans maintained by the Company may be denied the ability to deliver benefits on a tax-favored basis as intended.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Certain states and vendors require the Company to post letters of credit to ensure payment of taxes or payments to the Company’s vendors under workers’ compensation contracts and to guarantee performance under the Company’s contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that the Company has failed to perform specified actions. If this were to occur, the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, the Company may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. The Company does not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $2.4 million in restricted cash primarily to secure obligations under its workers’ compensation contracts.
