last year for &#36;4.4 million would increase annual net sales by &#36;4.6 million.
Have</font> <font size=2 face="serif">these sales materialized? Now he is attempting
to justify the acquisition of Neat Solutions as</font> <font size=2 face="serif">the
foundation for the Company&#146;s venture into the pet products market. <u>Unfortunately,

the Company&#146;s poor financial performance and deteriorating stockholder value,</font> <font size=2 face="serif">while
allowing management and the Board to maintain the <i>status

<FONT size=2 face="serif">The issues we have raised are not new. We brought these issues before stockholders in 2007 and again in 2008. For many years, we have tried to work with management and the Board to create stockholder value, but
unfortunately the management and its Board members have continued to rebuff our efforts. The management and Board are so comfortable in their entrenched positions &#151; with the overly generous compensation they receive &#151; that they refuse to
address the fundamental issue of developing a strategy to increase value for stockholders. </FONT></P>
