to hold Mr.&nbsp;McGowen accountable for the Company&rsquo;s poor governance structure and lack of transparency. Our &ldquo;WITHHOLD&rdquo;

oversight of ineffective internal controls, failure to integrate Stadco after three years of ownership by the Company and consistently
late SEC filings. Furthermore, whether it was Mr.&nbsp;McGowen&rsquo;s lack of leadership of the Board or Mr.&nbsp;Crisafulli&rsquo;s
lack of leadership of the Audit Committee that was responsible for the failed Votaw transaction, we are troubled that the Company engaged
in a potential transaction valued at $110 million, declared no way of funding it and even paid related M&amp;A fees with revolver borrowings,

in the Company&rsquo;s Proxy Statement, at the 2024 Annual Meeting, Stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment (the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;)
to the Incentive Plan. According to the Company&rsquo;s Proxy Statement, if the Amendment is approved, it will increase the number of
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Incentive Plan from 1,250,000 shares (adjusted to reflect the 4-for-1 reverse

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">As discussed in further detail
in the Company&rsquo;s Proxy Statement, the Company is asking Stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the
Company&rsquo;s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company&rsquo;s Proxy Statement, including the section titled &ldquo;Executive
Compensation,&rdquo; and any related material as required pursuant to Section&nbsp;14A of Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Board is asking

Company&rsquo;s compensation program for its named executive officers is properly aligned with the Company&rsquo;s performance. As discussed
elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the Company&rsquo;s share price has consistently lagged behind the Russell Micro Index due to, in
our opinion, poor operating performance and ill-advised M&amp;A decisions made, in part, by the Company&rsquo;s executive officers and
other members of management. We believe that stockholders have the opportunity to have their discontent be heard by voting &ldquo;<B>AGAINST</B>&rdquo;
this proposal and showing management that the ongoing deterioration of the Company&rsquo;s share price will not be tolerated.</P>

there is any significant vote against the compensation of the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company&rsquo;s

to address those concerns.</P>

shares on behalf of a stockholder who do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner by a specified date before the 2024
Annual Meeting (a &ldquo;broker non-vote&rdquo;) will have discretionary voting authority with respect to Proposal 3. However, as described
in this Proxy Statement, both the Company and the Soliciting Group are soliciting proxies in connection with the proposals to be voted
on at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Under applicable rules, if your broker receives proxy materials from both us and the Company, it will not
have discretionary authority to vote your shares of Common Stock on any of the proposals at the 2024 Annual Meeting. If you are the beneficial
owner of shares of Common Stock that are held of record by a broker and do not provide such holder with voting instructions on matters
with respect to which it does not have discretionary authority, there will be a broker non-vote with respect to your shares on each such
matter. Therefore, it is critical that you indicate your vote on all proposals if you want your vote to be counted.</P>
