Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure | 9 . Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company’s principal commitments consist of obligations under operating lease agreements for offices, research and development, and sales and marketing facilities, capital leases to finance data centers and other computer and networking equipment purchases and agreements with third parties to provide co-location hosting and telecommunication usage services. These commitments as of December 31, 2014 are disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and did not change materially during the six months ended June 30, 2015 except for the acquisition of certain additional data center and network equipment and software under multiple capital leases. As of June 30, 2015 , total minimum future payment commitments under these capital leases were approximately $3.2 million , of which $0.6 million is due in 2015, with the remainder due over approximately 2.6 years thereafter. Universal Services Fund Liability During the third quarter of 2012, the Company determined that based on its business activities, it is classified as a telecommunications service provider for regulatory purposes and it should make direct contributions to the federal USF and related funds based on revenues it receives from the resale of interstate and international telecommunications services. Previously, the Company had believed that the telecommunications services were an integral part of an information service that the Company provides via its software and had instead made indirect USF contributions via payments to its wholesale telecommunications service providers. In order to comply with the obligation to make direct contributions, the Company made a voluntary self-disclosure to the FCC Enforcement Bureau and has registered with the USAC, which is charged by the FCC with administering the USF. The Company has filed exemption certificates with its wholesale telecommunications service providers in order to eliminate its obligation to reimburse such wholesale telecommunications service providers for their USF contributions calculated on services sold to the Company. The Company’s registration with USAC subjects it to assessments for unpaid USF contributions, as well as interest thereon and civil penalties, due to its late registration and past failure to recognize its obligation as a USF contributor and as an international carrier. The Company will be required to pay assessments for periods prior to the Company’s registration. As of December 31, 2012, the total past due USF contribution being imposed by USAC and accrued by the Company for the period from 2003 through 2012 was $8.1 million , of which $4.7 million was undisputed and $3.4 million , including $0.8 million that pertains to 2003 through 2007, was disputed. While the Company is in administrative proceedings before the FCC to limit such back assessments to the period 2008 through 2012, it is possible that it will be required to pay back assessments for the period from 2003 through 2007. In 2013, the Company began remitting required contributions on a prospective basis directly to USAC. In July 2013, the Company and USAC agreed to a financing arrangement for $4.1 million of the undisputed $4.7 million of the unpaid USF contributions whereby the Company issued to USAC a promissory note payable in the principal amount of the $4.1 million and paid off the remaining undisputed $0.6 million . The repayment terms of the promissory note payable are disclosed in Note 5 . As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the principal balance of the promissory note payable was $2.1 million and $2.6 million , respectively, and is included in the notes payable amounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the promissory note payable, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an accrued liability for the disputed portion of the unpaid USF contributions and estimated interest and penalties of $4.4 million and $4.2 million , respectively, included in accrued federal fees on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recorded interest and penalty expenses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively, as a charge to general and administrative expense, which were related to its disputed unpaid USF obligations. In June 2015, in connection with the Company's late registration with the USAC and past failure to recognize its obligation as a USF contributor and as an international carrier from 2003 to 2012, the Company entered into a consent decree with the FCC Enforcement Bureau. In the consent decree, the Company agreed to pay a civil penalty of $2.0 million to the U.S. Treasury in twelve equal quarterly installments starting in July 2015 without interest (Note 5 ). In the third quarter of 2014, the Company had accrued a $2.0 million liability for the then tentative civil penalty. The consent decree also requires the Company to adopt certain internal regulatory compliance monitoring and training requirements, and to report on the status of those compliance efforts to the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau during a period of three years. State and Local Taxes and Surcharges In April 2012, the Company commenced collecting and remitting sales taxes on sales of subscription services in all the U.S. states in which it determined it was obligated to do so. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company conducted an updated sales tax review of the taxability of sales of its subscription services. As a result, the Company determined that it may be obligated to collect and remit sales taxes on such sales in four additional states. Based on its best estimate of the probable sales tax liability in those four states relating to its sales of subscription services during the period 2011 through 2014, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a general and administrative expense of $0.6 million as an immaterial out of period adjustment to accrue for such taxes. During 2013, the Company analyzed its activities and determined it may be obligated to collect and remit various state and local taxes and surcharges on its usage-based fees. The Company had not remitted state and local taxes on usage-based fees in any of the periods prior to 2014 and therefore accrued a sales tax liability for this contingency. In January 2014, the Company commenced paying such taxes and surcharges to certain state authorities. In June 2014, the Company commenced collecting state and local taxes or surcharges on usage-based fees from its clients on a current basis and remitting such taxes to the applicable U.S. state taxing authorities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company has remitted $0.9 million for its contingent sales taxes on both usage-based fees and sales of subscription services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.0 million , respectively, as general and administrative expense related to its estimated sales tax liability on both usage-based fees and sales of subscription services in the U.S. and Canada, which was not being collected from its clients. During 2015, the Company expects to commence collecting such sales taxes from its clients on a current basis and remitting such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had total accrued liabilities of $2.7 million for such contingent sales taxes and surcharges that were not being collected from its clients but may be imposed by various taxing authorities, of which $0.6 million and $2.1 million was included in current and non-current "Sales tax liability" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had total accrued liabilities of $2.6 million for such contingent sales taxes and surcharges, which was included in non-current "Sales tax liability" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s estimate of the probable loss incurred under this contingency is based on its analysis of the source location of its usage-based fees and the regulations and rules in each tax jurisdiction. Legal Matters The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory matters arising in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or its financial position. However, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. The Company is currently involved in the following lawsuits as a defendant. NobelBiz Litigation In April 2012, NobelBiz, Inc., a telecommunication solutions company, brought a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company seeking a permanent injunction, damages and attorneys' fees. The Company responded to the complaint and preliminary injunction request by asserting non-infringement and invalidity of the patent. In March 2013, the court granted the Company's motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California subsequent to which the complainant amended its claim to include another related patent. The Company has responded to this amended claim by continuing to assert non-infringement and invalidity of the patents. During December 2013, the court in California held a status conference and subsequently held a claim construction hearing regarding the patents on August 22, 2014. On January 16, 2015, the court issued an order regarding claim construction of the two patents-in-suit, and on April 6, 2015, the court held a case management conference setting further dates in the case. The court set a trial date of June 20, 2016, and set February 16, 2016 as the deadline to file motions for summary judgment. The Company has investigated the claims alleged in the complaint and believes that it has good defenses to the claims. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued a loss related to this matter as the Company does not believe that it is probable that a loss will be incurred. UHC Claim On January 29, 2015, Soneet Kapila, the Chapter 11 Trustee for the estate of Universal Health Care Group, Inc., which entity serves as the sole member of American Managed Care, LLC (“AMC”), filed an adversary complaint against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. The adversary proceeding, Soneet Kapila v. Five9, Inc., Case No. 13-05952 (KRM), Adv. No. 15-00092 (KRM), sought to avoid and recover as preferential payments, actual fraudulent transfers and/or constructive fraudulent transfers certain payments that the Company allegedly received from AMC in return for services provided by the Company between May 3, 2011 and May 3, 2014. The matter has been settled, with Bankruptcy Court approval, for a cash payment by the Company of $99,000 , which was recorded by the Company as a charge to general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recognizes general and administrative expense for legal fees in the period the services are provided. Indemnification Agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company indemnifies various clients, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain employees that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements and thus there are no claims that the Company is aware of that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. |
