COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Indemnification liabilities –
In connection with the CWAE Divestiture, the Company indemnified respective parties against
certain liabilities that may arise related to certain contracts with certain investees of Accolade,
a certain facility in the U.K. and a certain income tax matter. As a result, the Company recorded
liabilities with a fair value of $26.1 million at January 31, 2011. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2012, the Company was released from one of its guarantees related to a contract with a
certain investee of Accolade. In connection with this release, the Company recognized a gain of
$0.7 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended August 31, 2011. As of August 31,
2011, and February 28, 2011, the carrying amount of these indemnification liabilities was $25.4
million and $26.1 million, respectively. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability,
pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse the
indemnified party. As of August 31, 2011, the Company estimates that these indemnifications could
require the Company to make potential future payments of up to $330.9 million under these
indemnifications with $282.1 million of this amount subject to recovery by the Company from third
parties under recourse provisions. The Company does not expect to be required to make material
payments under the indemnifications and the Company believes that the likelihood is remote that the
indemnifications could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
