7.  LITIGATION

 

Indiana Civil Litigation – During the quarter ended December 31,  2013, the Company entered into an agreement to settle the Indiana Civil Litigation for $6.3 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company received $0.3 million for recovery of litigation settlement costs from insurers. This amount is recorded as “litigation settlement reimbursements (costs)” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $0.2 million of legal expenses incurred pursuing insurance coverage which was offset by reimbursements of $0.2 million from insurers.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred legal defense costs of $0.2 million which was offset by reimbursements of $0.4 million from insurers.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $0.4 million of legal expenses which was offset by reimbursements of $0.2 million from insurers. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred legal defense costs of $2.0 million which was offset by reimbursements of $2.1 million from insurers.  These expenses and reimbursements are included in “selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

The Company will continue to pursue the recovery of additional defense and settlement costs from insurance carriers. Based on policy language and jurisdiction, insurance coverage is in question.  The Iowa District Court dismissed litigation filed by the Company’s insurance carriers in Iowa after the Iowa Court of Appeals found that Indiana law applied to the insurance policies in question and the Iowa Supreme Court denied further review.  However, that dismissal has been appealed by the insurance carriers to the Iowa Supreme Court. Concurrently, coverage litigation is proceeding against the insurance carriers in Indiana.

The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
