Littlefield Corporation announced that it has settled the Collins litigation. Littlefield will pay to Collins a total of $2,175,000 with an initial payment of $1,025,000 together with 46 monthly payments of $25,000.
This settlement will require an addition to the Company's reserves for legal expenses of approximately $185,000. This expense will be recognized during Q3-2006.

The Company is no longer engaged in video poker in South Carolina and no member of the Company's then senior management or any employee who was in a decision-making capacity is currently employed by the Company. No member of the current senior management was employed by the Company at that time.

The settlement of this matter is a very, very significant development and one that we have been working to resolve for a long, long time. It really harkens the end of the Company's unresolved legal travails and marks the beginning of a new day in the Company's history."
