2004, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 37 acres
of land and several buildings consisting of approximately 468,000 sq. ft. of
manufacturing and office space. The purchase price is $6.2 million, payable $0.5
million upon signing the agreement and $2.6 million upon the current tenant
vacating the property. Both payments will be paid into escrow until the final
payment of $3.1 million is made on January 2, 2006 when title will pass to the
Company. Until the closing, which is subject to the completion of environmental
due diligence and other conditions, the Company will lease such property from
the owner as the current tenant vacates the property. The property is owned by a
primary owner of a significant customer of the Company.  </FONT></TD>
