business on March&nbsp;29, 2002. The cash dividend was paid on the number of
shares outstanding prior to the 4-for-3 stock split. Stockholders entitled
to fractional shares resulting from the stock split received cash in lieu
of such fractional shares based on the closing price of the Company&#146;s stock
on March&nbsp;29, 2002. Accordingly, all weighted average share and per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split.</FONT></TD>

long-term credit agreement. The Company&#146;s primary bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;) acted
as sole administrative agent arranger and syndication agent. The Bank
syndicated the new credit facility with another bank. The $45,000,000
credit facility consists of a senior secured revolving line of credit of
$35,000,000 and a $10,000,000 senior secured term loan. The borrowings
under the credit agreement bear interest at the prime rate (&#147;Referenced
Loans&#148;), or at the Company&#146;s option, at a fixed rate of interest offered
by the Bank (&#147;Fixed Loans&#148;) for terms of one, two, three, six, nine or
twelve months. Interest on the Referenced Loans are payable quarterly, in
arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, and
on the maturity date of such loan in the amount of interest then accrued
but unpaid. Interest on the Fixed Loans are payable on the last day of
the interest period, provided that, with an interest period longer than
three months, interest is payable on the last day of each three-month
period after the commencement of such interest period. The senior secured
revolving line of credit matures on May&nbsp;31, 2005. The term loan matures
on May&nbsp;31, 2007. The principal payments of the term loan are payable in
equal quarterly installments of $625,000 each, on or before the last
business day of each February, May, August and November, commencing May
31, 2003 and in one final installment in the amount necessary to repay the
remaining outstanding principal balance of the term loan in full on the
maturity date.</FONT></TD>

pending American Stock Exchange (&#147;AMEX&#148;) rule changes, and

to implement and interpret the new law by creating an array of new
regulations, there is uncertainty as to certain implications for the
Company and other public companies. The Company intends to fully
comply with the Act. The Company has engaged an expert from
McDermott, Will &#38; Emery to review the Act with the Company's

Directors held a special meeting in October 2002 for the sole purpose
of reviewing the Act. Additionally, Eric&nbsp;G. Wintemute, President

consists of a senior secured revolving line of credit of $35,000,000 and a
$10,000,000 senior secured term loan. The borrowings under the credit
agreement bear interest at the prime rate (&#147;Referenced Loans&#148;), or at the
Company&#146;s option, a fixed rate of interest offered by the Bank (&#147;Fixed Loans&#148;)
for terms of one, two, three, six, nine or twelve months. Interest on the
Referenced Loans are payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last day of each
March, June, September, and December, and on the maturity date of such loan in
the amount of interest then accrued but unpaid. Interest on the Fixed Loans
are payable on the last day of the interest period, provided that, with an
interest period longer than three months, interest is payable on the last day
of each three-month period after the commencement of such interest period. The
senior secured revolving line of credit matures on May&nbsp;31, 2005. The term loan
matures on May&nbsp;31, 2007. The principal payments of the term loan are payable
in equal quarterly installments of $625,000 each, on or before the last
business day of each February, May, August and November, commencing May&nbsp;31,
2003 and in one final installment in the amount necessary to repay the
remaining outstanding principal balance of the term loan in full on the
maturity date.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB
Statements No.&nbsp;141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No.&nbsp;142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method
of accounting for business combinations initiated after

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"> June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS
141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart
from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS
141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001 and for
purchase business combinations completed on or after July&nbsp;1, 2001.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. SFAS 142 is
required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001 to all
goodwill and other intangible assets recognized at that date. SFAS 142
requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six
months from the date of adoption.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s previous business combinations were accounted for using the
purchase method. The net carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible
assets was $10,049,500 and $11,126,500 as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and September
30, 2002, respectively. SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 were adopted on the effective
dates, and did not result in any material effects on the Company&#146;s financial
statements.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June 2001
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002. SFAS 143
requires that any legal obligation related to the retirement of long-lived
assets be quantified and recorded as a liability with the associated asset
retirement cost capitalized on the balance sheet in the period it is incurred
when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made.
SFAS 143 will be adopted on the effective date, and adoption is not expected to
result in any material effects on the Company&#146;s financial statements.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-lived Assets, was
issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS 144 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model
for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations.
SFAS 144 was adopted on the effective date, and did not result in any material
effects on the Company&#146;s financial statements.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No.&nbsp;145, Rescission of FASB
Statements 4, 44,and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13, and Technical
Corrections (SFAS 145). This statement eliminates the current requirement
that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as
extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses
will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual
and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary
classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease
accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in
reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with
sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other
nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting

related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after May&nbsp;15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be
effective for transactions occurring after May&nbsp;15, 2002. Adoption of this
standard will not have any immediate effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial statements.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No.&nbsp;146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which addresses
accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS 146 supersedes previous
accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)&nbsp;Issue No.
94-3. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 for restructuring
activities initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires that the
liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No.&nbsp;94-3, a liability for an exit
cost was recognized at the date of a company&#146;s commitment to an exit plan.
SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and
recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 146 may affect the timing of
recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.
