Note 10 — Contingencies

We are 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. Further, as disclosed in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures”, we are currently conducting an internal investigation into import/export and sales documentation activities at our China and Singapore offices. The investigation is being conducted under the oversight of our Audit Committee, with the assistance of outside counsel, and is focused on compliance with provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other applicable laws, and certain of our policies, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We have voluntarily notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) of these matters, and are fully cooperating with these agencies. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded $1.3 million of expenses relating to the investigation, including expenses of outside legal counsel and forensic accountants. We are currently unable to predict what actions the SEC, the DOJ, or other governmental agencies (including foreign governmental agencies) 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 SEC, DOJ, and other governmental authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal sanctions, and the imposition of sanctions, fines or remedial measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, reputation, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.
