Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.  These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief.  With respect to such lawsuits, the Company accrues reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  The Company does not believe any other proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

A pending legal matter was settled for $5.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2018.  Settlement amounts were recorded in "Other gain from continuing operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, "Prepaid expenses and other" (current portion of the notes receivable) and "Other non-current assets" (non-current portion of the notes receivable) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2018, the current portion of the note receivable was $0.8 million and the non-current portion was $4.0 million.  Legal fees related to this matter were expensed as incurred during the respective reporting period.
