FULLSCOPE EMBEZZLEMENT
12. FULLSCOPE EMBEZZLEMENT:

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company discovered embezzlement activities at Fullscope, one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which was acquired by the Company in December 2009 (the “Fullscope Embezzlement Issue”). Based upon the results of forensic accounting procedures, we identified that the embezzlement activities occurred for an extended period prior to our acquisition of Fullscope and also during the first and second quarter of 2010. Additionally, based upon the procedures performed, we concluded that the embezzlement activities that occurred during the first and second quarters of 2010 did not have a material impact upon our previously issued financial statements.

We have completed our investigation as it relates to the embezzlement activities that occurred during 2010. In total, we identified approximately $116 thousand of embezzlement during 2010.

The Company incurred approximately $3 thousand and $63 thousand in non-routine operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We incurred a majority of our embezzlement expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity. While embezzlement-related expenses decreased in 2011 and 2012, we anticipate that we may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we intend to aggressively pursue recovery through a claim against the escrow account established in connection with the acquisition of Fullscope, Inc. (“Fullscope Acquisition”). We anticipate that we will be able to recover some, if not all, of the receivable amounts embezzled during 2010, the professional service expenses we have incurred to-date, or will incur in the future, addressing this situation, and any amounts paid to settle any of the identified sales and use tax liability amounts. Amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded during the period in which settlement is determined to be certain.

In connection with the Fullscope Acquisition, an escrow account was established with $1.3 million, or 10% of the initial upfront purchase price consideration. Subsequent to that time, the Company transferred an additional $700 thousand to the escrow account in connection with the release of a pre-acquisition Fullscope escrow account that was established in June 2009 in connection with Fullscope’s sale of Dynamics AX add-on software modules to Microsoft. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company funded the escrow account with $2.7 million in settlement of the contingent consideration obligation. The escrow accounts, as per the merger agreements, were established to ensure the satisfactory resolution of all potential claims during the earnout period. These amounts will remain unsettled until our claim of recovery for the above matters is resolved.
