Contingencies | 6. Contingencies The Company announced previously that Delta Airlines (“Delta”) purported to terminate its contract with the Company to develop, manufacture and install new cockpit displays and certain navigation capabilities on its fleet of approximately 182 MD88 and MD90 aircraft. The Company initiated and engaged in a non-binding mediation with Delta on February 25, 2015. The mediation session did not resolve the dispute. On February 25, 2015, the Company filed a complaint against Delta in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for breach of contract. The Company has alleged that Delta’s purported termination of the contract was wrongful and in breach of the terms of the contract. On March 20, 2015, Delta answered the Company’s complaint and filed counterclaims against the Company for breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. The parties are entering into discovery and the outcome of the litigation is not determinable at this time. The Company had $3.6 million of unbilled receivables and $0.2 million of inventory on the balance sheet relating to the Delta program at March 31, 2015, both of which are fully reserved. On January 17, 2007 the Company filed suit in the Court of Common Pleas for Delaware County, Pennsylvania against Strathman Associates, a former software consultant for IS&S, alleging that Strathman had improperly used IS&S trade secrets and proprietary information in assisting J2 and Kollsman in developing the J2/Kollsman Air Data Computer. The case has not been resolved as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
