Johnsen, Chairman and CEO said, &#x201c;The sale will allow us to place an increased focus on our primary product lines.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the sale to pay down approximately $15.0 million of bank debt.  We expect the sale to be approximately earnings breakeven after elimination of expenses associated with the Camillus and Cuda product lines and interest savings resulting from reduction of bank debt.&#x201d;</font></p>
