From the Letter regarding the settlement found on ptsc.com -

<<<This settlement occurred during Patriot's current financial quarter, which ends February 28, 2008, and for which financial reports will be due for filing with the SEC by the second week of April, 2008. Information applicable to this settlement will be included in those reports to the extent required of the company, yet consistent with the confidentiality restrictions imposed by the settlement pursuant to guidance from Patriot's professional legal and accounting advisors. >>>

The above is consistent with the Q.

The statement "they told us they were going to tell us about the settlement" was not made in any Patriot PR. That thought is a misinterpretation of the above PR statement.
