Brazil ICMS Tax Matter Prior to our acquisition of Autocam on August 29, 2014, Autocam’s Brazilian subsidiary received notification from the tax authorities regarding ICMS (State Value Added Tax or VAT) tax credits claimed on intermediary materials (tooling and perishable items) used in the manufacturing process. The state tax authority notification disallowed state ICMS credits claimed on intermediary materials based on the argument that these items are not intrinsically related to the manufacturing processes. Autocam Brazil filed an administrative defense with the São Paulo state tax authority arguing, among other matters, that it should qualify for ICMS tax credit, contending that the intermediary materials are directly related to the manufacturing process. We believe we have substantial legal and factual defenses and plan to defend our interests vigorously. While we believe a loss is not probable we estimate the range of possible loss related to this assessment is from $0 to $6.0 million. No amount has been accrued at December 31, 2015 for this matter. We are entitled to indemnification from the former shareholders of Autocam, subject to the limitations and procedures set forth in the agreement and plan of merger. Management believes the indemnification would include amounts owed for the tax, interest and penalties related to the Brazil ICMS matter. All other legal matters All other legal proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature and are incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In making that determination, we analyze the facts and circumstances of each case at least quarterly in consultation with our attorneys and determine a range of reasonably possible outcomes. The procedures performed include reviewing attorney and plaintiff correspondence, reviewing any filings made and discussing the facts of the case with local management and legal counsel. We have not recognized any loss contingencies as December 31, 2015 and 2014.
