Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 17, 2006, the District Court of Appeal of the State of Florida confirmed the judgment previously rendered by a jury in the Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida in August 2005. As disclosed in August 2005, a verdict was rendered against Inter-Tel Incorporated (the Company) in the net amount of approximately $7.4 million in that certain case styled Inter-Tel Incorporated v. Executone of Florida, Inc., et al. Pending the results of the appeal, the Company accrued the entire amount of the settlement in the third quarter of 2005 and has accrued interest on the settlement monthly through the current date. As a result, the current decision by the District Court of Appeal of the State of Florida has no effect on the results of operations for 2006. The Company has yet to determine if it will appeal the appellate court decision.
