The Company is subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, U.S. Government contract costs are subject to periodic audit and adjustment. In 2016, the Company's Audit Committee commenced an internal investigation into conduct at the Company's China and Singapore offices and voluntarily notified the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") of the internal investigation. On May 1, 2017 the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for documents relating to the internal investigation. Following the conclusion of the Audit Committee's internal investigation, the Company voluntarily reported the relevant findings of the investigation to the China and Singapore authorities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million of expenses relating to the internal investigation, including expenses of outside legal counsel and forensic accountants, compared to $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

In early April 2019, the SEC notified the Company that based on current information, it did not intend to recommend an enforcement action against the Company; shortly, thereafter, the DOJ advised that it did not intend to separately proceed; the Company is cooperating with the China and Singapore authorities. The Company is currently not able to predict what actions these authorities might take, or what the likely outcome of any such actions might be, or estimate the range of reasonably possible fines or penalties, which may be material. The China and Singapore authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal sanctions, and the imposition of fines or penalties could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
