| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
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 December 31, 2014 and 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 December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.
In September 2014, we submitted a claim to the DVA seeking a final determination and resolution of this matter. We have recently been advised that the DOL will not take further action with respect to the retroactive payment cases and that it will not object to the DVA’s resolution of this matter with the Company. As a result, we will not have any obligation for the payment of these accrued salaries and benefits. Because no retroactive wage payments will be required, we will not have any contractual recovery of costs from the DVA. Accordingly, in order to resolve this contingency, 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 will remove the accruals of estimated revenue and expense which were recorded in the year ended September 30, 2008. Further, as shown in the table below, we anticipate reporting a net non-cash charge to our earnings of approximately $600,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 relating to the net expense resulting from the resolution of this matter. The net expense related to this issue is non-cash and not related to income from current operations. The pre-tax impact of these adjustments to our Consolidated Statement of Income is summarized as:
(in thousands)
Reduction of accounts receivable related to retroactive payment claim (9,306)
Reduction of accrued payroll related to retroactive wage and benefit payments 8,677
Net other (expense) (629)
The unaudited pro forma financial information attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K reflects the impact of this event to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014, the comparable period for balance sheets in the current fiscal year reporting periods.
