9. Commitments and Contingencies  Litigation  In the ordinary conduct of the Companys business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative proceedings from time to time. The Company vigorously defends these claims; however, no assurances can be given as to the outcome of any pending legal proceedings. The Company believes, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any existing or known threatened proceedings, even if determined adversely, should not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. On May 10, 2019, K12 Virtual Schools LLC filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), Case No. 01-19-001-4778, naming Georgia Cyber Academy, Inc. (GCA) and Georgia Cyber Academy Board as the respondents. The demand asserts claims for GCAs breach and anticipatory breach of the Educational Products and Services Agreement between GCA and K12 Virtual Schools LLC, as amended on January 4, 2019, based on GCAs engagement of other educational products and service providers for the school year 2019-2020. On May 29, 2019, GCA filed counterclaims against K12 Virtual Schools, LLC for breach of contract, fraud, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and negligent misrepresentation. On June 12, 2019, the AAA appointed an arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings are continuing. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of this arbitration, though it does not expect that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. K12 intends to pursue vigorously its claims against GCA, and defend vigorously against each and every counterclaim set forth by GCA. Employment Agreements  The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain executive officers that provide for severance payments and, in some cases other benefits, upon certain terminations of employment. Except for the agreement with the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with an amended extended term to September 30, 2022, all other agreements provide for employment on an at-will basis. If the employee resigns for good reason or is terminated without cause, the employee is entitled to salary continuation, and in some cases benefit continuation, for varying periods depending on the agreement.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  As of March 31, 2020, the Company provided guarantees of approximately $1.1 million related to lease commitments on the buildings for certain of the Companys schools.  In addition, the Company contractually guarantees that certain schools under the Companys management will not have annual operating deficits and the Companys management fees from these schools may be reduced accordingly to cover any school operating deficits.  Other than these lease and operating deficit guarantees, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  Risks and Uncertainties  Impacts of COVID-19 to K12s Business  The impacts of the global emergence of COVID-19 on the Companys business are currently not estimable or determinable. The Company is conducting business as usual with some modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of certain events, among other modifications. The Company has observed other companies taking precautionary and preemptive actions to address COVID-19 and companies may take further actions that alter their normal business operations. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter its business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that it determines is in the best interests of its employees, customers, partners, suppliers and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on the Companys business, including the effects on its customers and prospects, or on its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.  On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Act) was enacted and signed into law. The Company has evaluated the business provisions in the Act and adopted the deferral of the employer portion of the social security payroll tax (6.2%) outlined within. The deferral is effective from the enactment date through December 31, 2020. The deferred amount will be paid in two installments and the amount will be considered timely paid if 50% of the deferred amount is paid by December 31, 2021 and the remainder by December 31, 2022.
