Flight Safety Technologies, Inc (AMEX: FLT) announced that it reached a settlement in the litigation pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts entitled Analogic Corporation v. Flight Safety Technologies Inc, et al, No. 06- 11288 (JLT). Under the terms of the settlement, Analogic (NASDAQ: ALOG) assigned its license rights in the SICM MANPADS Countermeasure technology against certain shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles to FLT, but retained certain related manufacturing rights or, alternatively, certain royalty rights which range from 10% to 5% of gross revenue from the sale of related products depending on the gross margin realized by FLT. FLT will issue 100,000 shares of common stock and pay $100,000 in cash to Sanders Design International (SDI) and SDI's legal fees associated with the lawsuit. Upon completion of a successful live fire test, FLT will issue SDI another 250,000 shares of common stock and hire three SDI employees for one year terms in exchange for ownership of all intellectual property associated with the SICM and TIICM� MANPADS countermeasure technologies. SDI also would receive a royalty of 1% of gross revenue from sales of products based on these technologies. There can be no assurance that any party to the settlement eventually will realize revenue from any such products. FLT CEO William Cotton says "We are pleased that we were able to come to such a constructive resolution with all parties. I believe this agreement positions us to move forward with the development of this important technology. The resolution of this dispute allows us to resume our leadership role in the development process, while maintaining a strong relationship with SDI and Analogic. We have been encouraged by test results of the technology and look forward to completing a live fire test of the system with the Air Force early this year." About Flight Safety Technologies, Inc.
