support future growth.</FONT></TD></TR>

public company. One of the things I was very committed to and the team was very committed to once the Company came through some harsher times about 3 years ago was making sure that we returned some of that value to the shareholders. At that point
you could have seen and you might see with other companies where the value goes way down and the company is taken private. It was important for me and for the team to not only turn the Company around but return some of that value to shareholders and
we really think we&#146;ve done that.</FONT></TD></TR>

questions ago about returning more to the shareholders or creating more shareholder value. Historically with your somewhat minimal cap ex needs at reasonable levels of profitability, you&#146;ve had decent cash flows on top of what you&#146;ve had
to spend on cap ex. At what point might you consider a dividend?</FONT></TD></TR>

about $3.3 million, and that would be something we could do. I guess my thought is that with dividends you create an expectation of something that&#146;s going to continue into the future. To pay a significant dividend would involve maybe borrowing
some money and to the extent that we&#146;re giving money back to the shareholders if we ever decide to do that in a very direct way rather than through a return in appreciation of the shares, I think that it&#146;s legitimate to look at stock
repurchases in lieu of dividends. Obviously we consider and the Board considers all those options on a regular basis as it makes sense.</FONT></TD></TR>

numbers right. Your operating profitability was $1.8 million, add back, I don&#146;t know the exact deprecation numbers. Let&#146;s assume it&#146;s $1 million. That takes you to $3. You&#146;ve got taxes on your ordinary income. Excluding changes
in working capital, you&#146;ll consume an incremental probably $1.5 million in &#145;06. Am I looking at that correctly?</FONT></TD></TR>

this year, $3.2 million the year before. We&#146;ve budgeted, as I said, $3.5 million. You&#146;ll notice that even in 2005 we had a bump up in inventory and some other things that have caused our cash flow to vary year-to-year.</FONT></TD></TR>

year our cap ex, although we had budgeted $3 million, ended up being around $2.3 and it wasn&#146;t because of cash constraints, rather it was based on the timing of the improvements. So even though we budget that $3.5 million with the ERP and other
plant improvements that we&#146;d like to make, this is sort of the last building year until we start to see that ramp down and that number is based on our rough list of the things we would like to do but we also on a project by project basis go
back and evaluate those projects and some of them may be done and some of them may not be done. But at this point we haven&#146;t had a problem from a cash flow constraint.</FONT></TD></TR>

expenses not only on a general operating basis but also in investments we&#146;re making so that longer term we&#146;ll be able to provide higher shareholder returns. And because I really believe and we&#146;ve seen this as our sales have been
growing by a small amount which is really not the level that I&#146;d like our sales to be in a longer term. I think they need to be much higher and we&#146;re taking steps we believe that will help us achieve that in the moderate to longer term if
more dollars end up dropping down to the bottom line. But the only way that happens is by making those investments. So we&#146;ve really been in a building phase at this point so we can ensure those returns over the longer period.</FONT></TD></TR>

the management team. Is that a requirement on behalf of the management team to purchase a certain amount of shares on the open market or is it solely a requirement that they retain the shares that they&#146;re getting within the company
plan?</FONT></TD></TR>

guideline as to a multiple of base salary that&#146;s required to be held during their career as well as a retention requirement for shares that are granted under any stock incentive plan.</FONT></TD></TR>
