ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

On February 3, 2006, we entered into a Letter Contract with the United States Army.  We agreed to provide the Army with nineteen Buffalo mine clearance vehicles, training on use of the vehicles, and field support.   The contract also includes an option to purchase an additional 27 Buffalo mine clearance vehicles that may be procured during 2006.

 

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the contract is qualified in its entirety by, and made subject to, the more complete information set forth in the Letter Contract and its exhibits filed as exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein.

 

This report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  We  generally  use  words  such  as  “believe,”  “may,” “could,” “will,”  “intend,”  “expect,”  “anticipate,”  “plan,” and similar expressions to identify  forward-looking  statements.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report.  Although we believe  the  expectations  reflected  in  the  forward-looking  statements  are reasonable,  they  relate  only to events as of the date on which the statements are  made,  and  our  future  results,  levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations.  We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
