Item 8.01.	Other Events

As a result of our normal operations, Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries are involved in ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our operations, primarily involving claims for personal injury, property damage, work-related injuries and cargo losses incurred in the transportation of freight. This risk is discussed annually in the Company’s Form 10-K filing under Item 1A. Risk Factors, Future insurance and claims expense could reduce our earnings.

On August 9, 2011, we received notice of an award related to binding arbitration for a vehicular accident that happened in 2005. The award of $3.5 million was significantly higher than the Company expected and significantly higher than the $1 million reserved for this claim, which could result in a material impact to the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The Company has ample liquidity to issue the payment which must take place by September 8, 2011.
