In January 2013, the Company settled a legal claim for $1.5 million, which had been reserved originally for approximately $0.8 million.  Because this claim existed as of December 31, 2012, the Company accrued and recognized the additional $0.7 million to claims and insurance expense for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On February 27, 2013, the Company sold its 19.9% equity interest in W&B Service Company, L.P. for $3.2 million.  FFE's book value of the investment at the date of sale was $1.6 million resulting in a gain of $1.6 million which will be recognized in the first quarter of 2013.
