Item 5. Other Event
As previously announced, on April 24, 1996, The Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit had rendered an opinion in the patent
infringement lawsuit brought by Sensonics, Inc. The court
decision awarded Sensonics additional monetary damages for the
patent infringement as well as prejudgement interest and court
costs. The court also remanded the case to United District
Court for the Middle District of Florida (Tampa) for a
determination of whether attorney fees should be assessed
against Aerosonic.
As a result, for the year ended January 31, 1996, the Company has
recorded an additional $960,000 which increases the total
provision for settlement of patent litigation to $1,775,000.
This additional provision increases previously reported net loss
from $1,192,000, or $.31 per share, to $1,886,000, or $.50 per share.
