CONTINGENCIES

7. CONTINGENCIES:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is at times subject to various legal proceedings and claims.  BHCMC, LLC and BHC Development LC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court on June 21, 2012 against Bally Gaming Inc. doing business as Bally Technologies for negligent misrepresentation, among other claims related to the performance of computer software systems. On March 7, 2014 a jury verdict in favor of BHCMC, LLC and BHC Development against Bally was entered for $1,424.  The jury rejected the Bally alleged counter claim of $441 and awarded no damages to Bally.  Bally has filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Butler National Corporation does not believe any such matters that are currently pending will have a material effect on its results of operation or financial position.
