Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 20, 2002, the Company filed a complaint against Signal Technology Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, which it dismissed on February 27, 2003. On February 14, 2003, Signal Technology filed a declaratory judgment suit against the Company in Superior Court, Boston, Massachusetts. On March 4, 2003, the Company filed a complaint against Signal Technology Corporation in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. On February 13, 2004, the Company dismissed its complaint in Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois. From November 6, 2000 through December 6, 2001, Signal Technology issued six purchase orders to purchase low-frequency amplifiers and other electronic components from the Company and subsequently refused to take delivery of the components. The Company initially claimed damages of approximately $2.0 million resulting from the dispute concerning Signal Technology’s obligation to take delivery. Signal’s declaratory judgment suit in Massachusetts sought a ruling that it had no liability to the Company, but Signal had not asserted any claim against the Company. The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Signal effective November 16, 2005. Pursuant to the settlement, Richardson Electronics will receive a cash payment of $325,000 and will retain the remaining inventory, the pending litigation will be dismissed and the parties will provide mutual releases without any admission of liability.
