LEGAL CONTINGENCIES |
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 8 – LEGAL CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company may have pending claims and legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based on information available at this time, there are no current claims and proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2021. During September 2021, GPS settled major litigation as described below. In January 2019, GPS filed a lawsuit against Exelon West Medway II, LLC and Exelon Generation Company, LLC (together referred to as “Exelon”) in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for Exelon’s breach of contract and failure to remedy various conditions which negatively impacted the schedule and the costs associated with the construction by GPS of a gas-fired power plant for Exelon in Massachusetts. In March 2019, Exelon provided GPS with a notice intending to terminate the EPC contract under which GPS had been providing services to Exelon. At that time, the construction project was nearly complete and both of the power generation units included in the plant had successfully reached first fire. Nevertheless, and among other actions, Exelon provided contractual notice requiring GPS to vacate the construction site. Exelon asserted that GPS failed to fulfill certain obligations under the contract and was in default, withholding payments from GPS on invoices rendered to Exelon in accordance with the terms of the contract between the parties. In September 2021, Argan’s wholly owned subsidiary, GPS, reached a final settlement of all outstanding claims between the parties resulting in Exelon making a payment to GPS in the amount of $27.5 million which was in excess of the previously reported amount of receivables and contract assets. The excess amount was included in revenues. ​
