Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 3, 2007, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a decision upholding the government’s default termination of the A-12 contract. This is the latest decision relating to litigation begun in 1991 resulting from the A-12 contract termination.

The Company disagrees with this most recent ruling and continues to believe that the government’s default termination was not justified. The Company also believes that the ruling raises serious issues for appeal, and has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court.

Final resolution of the A-12 litigation will depend on the outcome of further proceedings or possible negotiations with the government.
