ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On February 7, 2008, the Arkansas Supreme Court rejected our appeal in the Advanced Control
Solutions (ACS) case, and affirmed the judgment of the circuit court, where a jury in March 2006
found us liable for interfering with a non-compete agreement, causing ACS to lose future business
opportunities and for missing equipment. The Arkansas Supreme Court also denied ACSs appeal of
the $45,562 plus attorneys fees awarded to us in March 2006 on our counterclaim against ACS for
breach of contract. We do not intend to appeal the case further.
Our
liability for the original judgment in the amount of $655,769 was recorded in 2005. The judgment
will be paid from funds we set aside in a restricted certificate of deposit in 2006.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly
