The charge was recorded in "Other (Expense) Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has sought indemnification from its suppliers for royalty payments previously paid to them that it maintains they were responsible to remit to MPEG and has vigorously pursued its option under its indemnification agreements. The Company completed negotiations with one vendor for an amount of $1,110 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, which was recorded as an offset to the settlement expense as a recovery in "Other (Expense)Income" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), for a net charge of $8,365 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012. Additional recoveries of $5,689 were negotiated and recorded by the Company during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, no additional recoveries have been recorded related to this lawsuit and the Company is not aware of any additional vendors that it may recover funds from related to this matter.
