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.

The Company incurred a majority of its embezzlement-related expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with its identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity. Embezzlement-related expenses incurred in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 were not material.

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 (which were created by the methods employed by a former employee of Fullscope to conceal the discovered fraudulent activity). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had made payments totaling $1.2 million associated with the sales and use tax liabilities. As of September 30, 2013, the remaining accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure was $273 thousand. The Company expects to continue to make payments associated with these liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

The Company has incurred significant expenses related to the investigation and related to the filing of sales and use tax returns. The Company anticipates that it may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue. We intend to aggressively pursue recovery of these expenses through a claim against existing escrow accounts established in connection with the acquisition of Fullscope, Inc. (“Fullscope Acquisition”) which consists of total of approximately $4.6 million as of September 30, 2013, which is sufficient to cover our claims. The Company fully expects to be reimbursed for payments made in relation to embezzlement-related professional services, as well as the payments associated with the filing of 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.
