Note 7- Commitments and Contingencies

 

As part of the Bios Acquisition, the Bios Agreement includes a provision for contingent consideration based on revenue growth over a three year earn-out period.  The contingent consideration arrangement requires us to pay Bios if the cumulative revenues from the acquisition for the three years subsequent to the acquisition exceed $22,127,000.  The potential undiscounted future payment that we could be required to make ranges from $0 to $6,710,000.  The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement included in the purchase price was estimated based on the historic revenue growth of Bios.  We recorded a contingent consideration liability of $2,140,000 on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.  Any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid would result in additional income or expense on the condensed statements of income.  There has been no material change to the contingent consideration liability as of September 30, 2013.  The contingent consideration is payable in the first quarter of our year ending March 31, 2016.

 

A company is required to collect and remit state sales tax from certain of its customers if that company is determined to have “nexus” in a particular state.  The determination of nexus varies state by state and often requires knowledge of each jurisdiction’s tax case law.  During the year ended March 31, 2013, we determined that there are states in which we most likely had established nexus during prior periods without properly collecting and remitting sales tax.  We recorded an estimate of $100,000 associated with one specific state but we were unable to estimate our remaining exposure at that time.  The ultimate amount due in remaining states will depend upon a number of factors, including the amount of sales that were made to customers who are either exempt or have already paid the tax, the number of years of exposure, and any penalties or interest that might be due.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 we completed our analysis associated with the remaining states and we recorded an estimate of $1,106,000, which is included in other accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheets and in general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed statements of income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.  This estimate was based upon facts and circumstances known at such time and our ultimate liability may change as further analysis is completed and state sales tax returns are filed.
