8. Provisions and contingencies (continued):  (e) Claim by U.S. contractor: 9. Long-term liability:  During 2008, a prime contractor on a U.S. Federal Government project (“Project”) filed a  complaint against the Company and many other persons in a U.S. court. Initially, the complaint  also named a director and officer, an officer and a senior manager , all of whom are no longer  with the Company and some of whom were involved in, and pleaded guilty to, the conspiracy  to defraud the United States as describe in note 8 (a). During the first quarter of 2009, the Court stayed all proceedings in this matter  pending the  conclusion of the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice investigation into  the same matter. On November 18, 2014, the stay was lifted. On February 11, 2015, the U.S. contractorfiled its third amended complaint again st the  Company. The complaint alleges that employees of the Company conspired with an employee  of the prime contractor relating to, among other things, the awarding of  contracts during the  years 2002 through 2004. Of the 22 counts in the complaint, only 6  name the Company as a  defendant. The complaint seeks not less than approximately $1.1  million U.S. plus the value of  additional gratuities from the Company Counsel for the Company have brought a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint for  failure toplead enough facts to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face. Success of  this motion is not determinable at this time. If successful, the complaint will be dismissed as  against the Company. If the Company is not successful on the motion,  management intends to  defend against this claim vigorously. Management considers that it is not probable that a  liability will result and no amount has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements in  respect of the complaint. The long-term liability consists of a tenure agreement between the Company and Mr. Bennett .
