Fullscope Embezzlement
11. 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.

Embezzlement-related expenses incurred in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 were not material. However, future expenses may be incurred in connection with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company increased the previously recorded accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure by $550 thousand.

We incurred a majority of our embezzlement expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity. 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 probable.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure was $643 thousand. The potential sales and use tax-related liability was created by the methods employed by a former employee of Fullscope to conceal the discovered fraudulent activity. While the Company has accounted for this liability as a period expense, we believe that any amounts actually paid to resolve this issue will be recoverable from an existing, fully funded escrow account which was established in connection with our acquisition of Fullscope. Future amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded by the Company in the period in which the amounts are determined to be probable of recovery from escrow. 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 $2.6 million in settlement of the contingent consideration obligation. As of June 30, 2013, the combined value of the two escrow accounts was approximately $4.6 million. The escrow accounts, as per the merger agreement, 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company began to file tax returns and pay sales and use tax liabilities related to the Fullscope Embezzlement. The Company, as of June 30, 2013 has made payments totaling $858 thousand associated with the sales and use tax liabilities. We expect to continue to make payments associated with these liabilities during the third quarter of 2013. The Company fully expects to be reimbursed for payments made in relation to amended sales and use tax returns; however, reimbursement from escrow is not expected until resolution is reached on all outstanding embezzlement-related sales and use tax amounts. Amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded during the period in which settlement is determined to be probable of recovery from escrow.
