Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 2014, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees and performance bonds securing performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled approximately $13,370. Of this amount, $1,429 is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions. The remaining $11,941 represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company’s short term and long term revolving lines of credit and performance bonds that the Company has secured. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 was approximately $1,429 and $1,307, respectively, of cash deposits pledged as collateral on performance bonds and letters of credit. Our Indian subsidiary also has $3,961 in customs bonds outstanding to secure the Company's customs and duties obligations in India.
The Company is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against us, which may adversely affect our financial results. In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes, which may or may not be settled prior to legal proceedings being instituted and which may result in losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, relating to such unresolved disputes. As of June 30, 2014, management believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation reduce operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings or disputes would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results of operations or cash flows in any one accounting period.
The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below. We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.
Notice of Tax Dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency. On June 13, 2011, we received notice from the Canada Revenue Agency, which we refer to as the "Agency," advising us that they disagree with the tax treatment we proposed with respect to certain asset transfers that were completed in August 2007 by our Predecessor owners. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we were informed by the Agency that they had concluded their review in the Company's favor and would not make an assessment under Canada's General Anti Avoidance Rule.
Russia Tax Audit. Our income tax returns for the three years ended December 31, 2012 are subject to ongoing audits with the Russian tax authority. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we were issued an assessment by the Russian tax authority for which we have filed an objection. As of June 30, 2014, we have accrued $167 in our consolidated financial statements for the amount we believe to be payable to the Russian tax authority. See Note 12, “Income Taxes.”
