Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Reference is made to the MPI matter in Note 13 “Contingencies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2005.

 

As was previously disclosed, a dispute between MPI Technologies, Inc. (MPI) and Registrant and Xerox Canada Ltd. (XCL) arising under a license agreement made as of March 15, 1994, between MPI and XCL has been in arbitration in Ontario, Canada. On September 9, 2005, the arbitration tribunal rendered its decision, awarding MPI approximately $89 million, plus interest thereon. Registrant expects to accrue a pre-tax charge of approximately $89 million, plus interest thereon, in the third quarter 2005. However, Registrant is reviewing the decision and expects to seek judicial review and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

 

The matter discussed above is not reflected in Registrant’s previously issued earnings guidance. Apart from the matter addressed in this Form 8-K filing, Registrant is not updating or reaffirming its previously issued earnings guidance.

These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. Information concerning certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially is included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended June 30, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
