FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Enhanced Ability to Attract and Retain Directors</I>. We have a relatively small market capitalization compared to many other publicly traded companies. This will, in our Board&#146;s view, result in the Company
facing significant competition for qualified and experienced independent directors for the foreseeable future. The current corporate governance environment and particularly the consequences of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 place a premium on
publicly traded corporations having experienced, independent directors. Accordingly, there is an increased demand for highly qualified independent directors. At the same time, the current environment has increased the scrutiny on director actions
and at least the perception of increased liability of independent directors. Our Board of Directors believes that fewer qualified persons are willing to serve as independent directors, particularly on boards of smaller public companies, and
qualified directors are choosing to serve on fewer boards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As competition for qualified independent directors increases, directors will
choose to join or remain with boards of directors of corporations with the most favorable corporate environment. Our Board of Directors believes that reincorporation in Delaware will enhance our ability to attract and retain directors. The vast
majority of public corporations are domiciled in Delaware. Not only is Delaware law most familiar to directors, as noted below, Delaware law provides greater flexibility and responsiveness to corporate needs. As a result, our Board of Directors
believes that the more favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable us to compete more effectively with other public companies, many of whom are already incorporated in Delaware, to retain our current directors and attract and
retain new directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Greater Flexibility and Responsiveness to Corporate Needs</I>. Delaware has adopted comprehensive corporate laws

substantial body of case law construing Delaware&#146;s corporate statutes. As a result of these factors, it is anticipated that Delaware law will provide greater flexibility in our legal affairs than is presently available under Minnesota law.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Minnesota</I>. Minnesota law provides that a director must discharge the director&#146;s duties in good faith, in a manner the director reasonably
believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. A director who complies with such standards may not be held liable by reason of
being a director or having been a director of the corporation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Delaware</I>. Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors
have developed through written opinions of the Delaware courts. Generally, directors of Delaware corporations are subject to a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. The duty of loyalty has been said to require directors to refrain from self-dealing
and the duty of care requires directors managing the corporate affairs to use that amount of care which ordinarily careful and prudent persons would use in similar circumstances. In general, gross negligence has been established as the test for
breach of the standard for the duty of care in the process of decision-making by directors of Delaware corporations. When directors act consistently with their duties of loyalty and care, their decisions generally are presumed to be valid under the
business judgment rule. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Indemnification of Directors and Officers </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Minnesota law and Delaware law both contain provisions setting forth conditions under which a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers and employees. While indemnification is permitted only if statutory
standards of conduct are met, Minnesota law and Delaware law are substantially similar in providing for indemnification if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The statutes differ, however, with respect to whether indemnification is permissive or mandatory, where there is a
distinction between third-party actions and actions by or in the right of the corporation, and whether, and to what extent, reimbursement of judgments, fines, settlements, and expenses is allowed. The major difference between Minnesota law and
Delaware law is that while indemnification of officers, directors and employees is mandatory under Minnesota law, indemnification is permissive under Delaware law, except that a Delaware corporation must indemnify a person who is successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of certain specified actions, suits or proceedings for expenses and attorney&#146;s fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Minnesota law requires a corporation to indemnify any director, officer or employee who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by
reason of the former or present official capacity of the director, officer or employee, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses. Minnesota law permits a corporation to prohibit indemnification by so providing in its
articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company has not limited the statutory indemnification in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The Company Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Minnesota law. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Minnesota control share acquisition statute establishes various disclosure and shareholder approval
requirements that must be satisfied by individuals or companies. Delaware has no comparable provision. The Minnesota statute requires disinterested shareholder approval for any &#147;control share acquisition&#148; of stock of an &#147;issuing
public corporation.&#148; A &#147;control share acquisition&#148; includes any share acquisition that exceeds specified levels of voting power (20%, 33<FONT SIZE="1"><SUP>&nbsp;1</SUP></FONT><FONT SIZE="2">/</FONT><FONT SIZE="1">3</FONT><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">%, and 50%) of the stock of the target. An &#147;issuing public corporation&#148; is a publicly held corporation which is incorporated under or governed by the MBCA and has at least fifty shareholders.
The Company is subject to the statute; the Delaware Company, because it is a Delaware corporation, will not be subject to the statute. Accordingly, shareholders who acquire shares without shareholder approval and in excess of a designated percentage
of outstanding shares lose their voting rights and are subject to certain redemption privileges of the corporation. Such shares regain their voting rights only if the acquiring person discloses certain information to the corporation and such voting
rights are granted by the shareholders at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders. There are a number of important exclusions intended primarily to distinguish hostile acquisitions from transactions negotiated and approved by the management
and shareholders, including exclusions for shares acquired (i)&nbsp;pursuant to a merger, plan of exchange or sale of assets, (ii)&nbsp;directly from the target issuer, (iii)&nbsp;in a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares if the offer has
been approved in advance by the board of directors of the target, and (iv)&nbsp;by employee benefit plans. The Minnesota control share acquisition statute applies unless the &#147;issuing public corporation&#148; opts out of the statute in its
articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company has not opted out of such provisions. </FONT></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While there is no Delaware statute
comparable to the Minnesota control share acquisition statute, both Minnesota and Delaware have business combination statutes that are intended primarily to deter takeover bids which propose to use the target&#146;s assets as collateral for the
offeror&#146;s debt financing and to liquidate the target, in whole or in part, to satisfy financing obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Delaware</I>.
Delaware law restricts certain business combination transactions between a shareholder acquiring 15% or more (designated as an &#147;interested&#148; shareholder) of the voting stock and any Delaware corporation with securities traded on a national
exchange, quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market or owned of record by at least 2,000 shareholders. Unless an exception is available, the statute provides that for three years after the 15% threshold is exceeded, the corporation cannot have a merger,
sale of substantial assets, loan, substantial issuance of stock, plan of liquidation, or reincorporation involving the interested shareholder or its affiliates. Shareholders may opt out at any time by majority vote, but the decision is not effective
for one year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are a number of important exceptions to the basic prohibition on business combination transactions. First, the
Delaware statute does not prohibit a business combination if, prior to becoming an interested shareholder, the board of directors has approved the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the shareholder passing the 15% threshold.
Second, a business combination is permissible if the interested shareholder acquires 85% of the target&#146;s outstanding voting stock (excluding shares held by management or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a
confidential right to vote) in the transaction in which the 15% threshold is exceeded. Third, a business combination is permissible if approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, and not by written consent,
by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares held by disinterested shareholders. Finally, if the target corporation, with the support of the majority of its continuing directors, proposes at any time another merger or sale or does
not oppose another tender offer for at least 50% of its shares, the interested shareholder is released from the three year prohibition and free to compete with the target-supported transaction. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Minnesota</I>. Minnesota law is quite similar to that of Delaware. However, there are some differences, including (i)&nbsp;the interested shareholder
threshold is 10% rather than 15%, (ii)&nbsp;the prohibition period for business combinations is four years from the time the shareholder passes the threshold instead of three years, and (iii)&nbsp;there are no equivalents to the Delaware exceptions
for acquisition of 85% of voting stock, for two-thirds shareholder approval at a shareholder meeting or for management approval of a competing transaction or tender offer. </FONT></P> <P

provisions address a corporation&#146;s use of golden parachutes, greenmail and the standard of conduct of the Board of Directors in connection with the consideration of takeover proposals. The MBCA contains a provision which prohibits a publicly
held corporation from entering into or amending agreements (commonly referred to as golden parachutes) that increase current or future compensation of any officer or director during any tender offer or request or invitation for tenders. The MBCA
provides that a publicly held corporation is prohibited from purchasing or agreeing to purchase any shares from a person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the voting power of the corporation if the shares had been beneficially owned by that
person for less than two years, and if the purchase price would exceed the market value of those shares. However, such a purchase will not violate the statute if the purchase is approved at a meeting of the shareholders by a majority of the voting
power of all shares entitled to vote or if the corporation&#146;s offer is of at least equal value per share and made to all holders of shares of the class or series and to all holders of any class or series into which the securities may be
converted. In considering the best interests of the corporation with respect to a proposed acquisition of an interest in the corporation, the MBCA authorizes the board of directors to consider the interest of the corporation&#146;s employees,
customers, suppliers and creditors, the economy of the state and nation, community and social considerations and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders, including the possibility that these interests

30 days after the notice is delivered by the Company, but the dissenting shareholder retains all other rights of a shareholder until the proposed action takes effect. Under Minnesota law, notice by mail is made by the Company when deposited in the
United States mail. A shareholder who fails to make demand for payment and fails to deposit certificates will lose the right to receive the fair value of the shares notwithstanding the timely filing of such shareholder&#146;s notice of intent to

shareholders have fully complied with the provisions of Section&nbsp;302A.473 of the MBCA and will determine the fair value of the shares, taking into account any and all factors the court finds relevant (including the recommendation of any
appraisers appointed by the court), computed by any method that the court, in its discretion, sees fit to use, whether or not such method was used by the Company or a shareholder. The expenses of the court proceeding will be assessed against the
Company, except that the court may assess part or all of those costs and expenses against a shareholder whose action in demanding payment is found to be arbitrary, vexatious, or not in good faith. The fair value of the Company&#146;s shares means
the fair value of the shares immediately before the Effective Time. Under Section&nbsp;302A.471 of the MBCA, a shareholder of the Company has no right at law or equity to set aside the consummation of the Merger, except if such consummation is
fraudulent with respect to such shareholder or the Company. Any shareholder making a demand for payment of fair value for his or her shares may withdraw the demand at any time before the determination of the fair value of the shares by filing with
the Company written notice of such withdrawal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Abandonment of Merger </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the alternative minimum tax) upon exercise of an incentive stock option. If the shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option are held for the longer of two years from the date the option was granted and one year from the date it was
exercised, any gain or loss arising from a subsequent disposition of such shares will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If, however, such shares are disposed of within the
above-described period, then in the year of such disposition the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the excess of the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the amount realized upon such disposition and (ii)&nbsp;the fair market

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On August&nbsp;4, 2006, we entered into indemnification agreements with Heng Chuk, Bruce Comer, Paul Galleberg and Jeff Lawton, who were our directors as of such date (each an &#147;Indemnitee&#148;), in substantially
the form attached as Appendix G to this information statement (the &#147;Indemnification Agreements&#148;). The Indemnification Agreements generally require us to indemnify and hold an Indemnitee harmless to the greatest extent permitted by law for
liabilities arising out of the Indemnitee&#146;s service to the Company as an officer or director, except to the extent that such liabilities are attributable to dishonest or fraudulent conduct, to personal gains to which Indemnitee is not entitled,
or for which payments by the Company are not permissible under applicable law. The Indemnification Agreements also provide for the advancement of defense expenses by the Company. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the law in this regard is not certain, shareholders who vote in favor of ratifying the Indemnification Agreements may be prevented from
challenging the validity of the indemnity contracts in a subsequent court proceeding. The Board of Directors believes that the overall effect of entering into the Indemnification Agreements is to provide a corporate legal environment that enhances
the Company&#146;s ability to attract and retain high quality directors and thus benefit the interests of the Company and its shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Stockholder
