8.    Commitments and Contingencies

The Company completed a $6,700 E&I construction contract during the early part of 2010 on which a total loss of $1,243 was recorded. A loss of $325 was recorded in 2010, and an additional $891 loss was recorded in prior years. This loss was largely attributable to cost incurred by the Company as a result of the failure of a subcontractor to complete its work.

The Company filed a claim against the general contractor for approximately $1,100 for the above referenced contract. As a result of this dispute, the general contractor filed a claim against the Company for $800 claiming the Company caused overall project delays. In addition, the general contractor withheld $565 of the Company's contract balance resulting from this dispute.

On October 25, 2011, the Company received notification of the arbitrator's final binding decision in which the Company was awarded approximately $434 which approximates the net receivable due the Company at September 30, 2011 and related legal fees incurred in the fourth quarter 2011. As such, no adjustments were made to the Company's financial results for the third quarter 2011.
