11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On May 22, 2008, a jury returned verdicts totaling $7.5 million against the Company in the consolidated actions of Roth Cash Register v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al. and Shenango Systems Solutions v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al. On December 30, 2010, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania issued an opinion reversing and remanding $4.5 million of the award and affirming $3.0 million of the award. Both the Company and the plaintiffs filed motions seeking reconsideration of certain aspects of the appellate court decision, and, on April 1, 2011, the Superior Court denied all of the motions for reconsideration. Subsequently, on April 13, 2011, the Company and one of the plaintiffs filed petitions with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seeking the ability to appeal certain issues in the litigation. On April 10, 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied all of the petitions for appeal. The matter will accordingly be remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the appellate court decision. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company reserved an additional $3.0 million for any potential liability relating to these matters, which is included in its selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company is recognizing interest expense related to the outstanding portions of the judgment at the statutory rate of 6% per annum.

     The Company is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, and, subject to the outcome of the matter referenced above, the Company is of the opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
