Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 5, 2011 the Court in the case of The Arena Group, L.P. v. TRC Environmental Corporation and TRC Companies, Inc. issued an Order granting the Company's motion to disregard $7.4 million of the $15.7 million verdict returned against the Company in June, 2011. As previously disclosed, the case involved a former landlord seeking damages for alleged breach of a lease for certain office space in Houston, Texas. The Company is assessing the impact of the ruling on its previously established litigation reserve.
On October 7, 2011, the Company received notice from the IRS informing it that the Joint Committee on Taxation approved a settlement that had been reached with the Internal Revenue Service.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the approved settlement and expects that it will have a significant favorable impact on the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
