Release Details

MIDDLETOWN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2003--KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) announced today that on November 3, 2003, KVH and Agility Robotics, Inc., and Ross-Hime Designs, Inc., (collectively, "Agility") agreed to settle pending litigation. Because this agreement was reached prior to the filing of KVH's third quarter Form 10-Q, the company is required to record the settlement costs in the company's financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003. This is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, notably Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." To reflect this agreement and associated costs, the company has recorded a $305,000 operating expense accrual in its third quarter financial statements as filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 14, 2003.

"We are pleased to have successfully resolved this issue," said Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH's president and chief executive officer, "and that the terms of this settlement should not affect our future operating results."

Under the general terms of the settlement, all claims pending against the company will be released, the lawsuit will be dismissed, and Agility's rights under certain of its patents will be licensed to KVH.
