The Company previously announced 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 Delta’s 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 in the case, captioned Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. v. Delta Airlines, Inc. E.D. Pa. Civ. No. 15-959, that Delta’s purported termination of the contract was wrongful and in breach of the terms of the contract, and is seeking monetary damages. 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, also seeking monetary damages. The parties have completed discovery and have each filed motions for summary judgment. On January 23, 2017, the Court denied both the Company’s and Delta’s motions for summary judgment. Pre-trial settlement conferences were held on December 16, 2016 and January 12, 2017 and the parties continue to discuss settlement. The outcome of the Delta matter is not determinable at this time. The Company had $3.6 million of unbilled receivables and $0.2 million of inventory on its balance sheet relating to the Delta program at September 30, 2016 both of which are fully reserved.
