Ref (a): As previously reported, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, DLH Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) accrued salaries and benefits of $10.1 million related to the estimated resolution of retroactive payment cases asserted by the Department of Labor (“DOL”). During the same period, the Company recognized revenues of $10.8 million related to expected recovery of these costs, plus estimated indirect costs, under contractual arrangements with the Department of Veterans Affairs (“DVA”). At September 30, 2014, the amount of the remaining accounts receivable with the DVA approximated $9.3 million and accrued liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits totaled $8.7 million. The $9.3 million in accounts receivable was unbilled to the DVA at September 30, 2014. In September 2014, we submitted a claim to the DVA seeking a final determination and resolution of this matter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we were advised that the DOL would not take further action with respect to the retroactive payment cases and that it would not object to the DVA’s resolution of this matter with the Company. As a result, we had no obligation for the payment of these accrued salaries and benefits. Because no retroactive wage payments were required, we have no contractual recovery of costs from the DVA. Accordingly, in order to resolve this matter, on March 30, 2015, we entered into a mutual release of claims with the DVA, pursuant to which both parties agreed to fully release each other from any and all claims arising pursuant to this matter. As a result of the closure of this issue, as a part of our reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we removed the accruals of estimated revenue and expense which were recorded in the year ended September 30, 2008. Further, we reported a reduction of $9.3 million in accounts receivable, a reduction of $8.7 million in accrued liabilities for salaries to employees and related benefits, and a net charge to our earnings of approximately $629 thousand for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 relating to the resolution of this matter. The net expense related to this issue was non-cash and not related to income from current operations. Ref (b): Accounts receivable are unsecured and carried at fair value, which is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate our receivables on a quarterly basis and determine whether an allowance is appropriate based on specific collection issues. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was zero at both September 30, 2015 and 2014.
