8.Patent Agreement and Other

On May 8, 2015, we entered into a patent purchase agreement for the sale of certain Company-owned patents relating to our LED lighting products.  As a result of this agreement, on June 22, 2015, the Company received cash consideration of $12.5 million from the purchaser.  Under the agreement, the Company undertook to no longer be engaged in LED lighting and received a license under the sold patents for all other fields of use.  The proceeds were recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 as a recovery of costs previously incurred and are reflected as a separate line item on the consolidated condensed statements of income in operating expenses under the caption “Patent agreement and other.”
