4. Short-term Financing

The Company has a credit agreement with its financial lender that provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $2,500,000 with interest generally equal to two and one half percent per annum plus one month LIBOR. The agreement is set to expire in February 2008. The agreement is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and general intangibles. The credit agreementcontains affirmative covenant requirements, tested on an annual basis, that require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of $8,000,000 and a pre-tax interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, a borrowing base addendum generally allows for borrowing based on an amount equal to eighty five percent of eligible receivables, plus an amount equal to the lesser of either forty percent of eligible inventory or $1,000,000. The revolving credit facility is subject to a review by the Company's lender in 2008. The Company had $1,098,000 of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at June 30, 2007.

5. Capital Stock, Treasury Stock, Contributed Capital and Stock Options

Under the Company's Key Employees Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Employee Plans"), incentive stock options, in general, are exercisable for up to ten years, at an exercise price of not less than the market price on the date the option is granted. Non-qualified stock options may be granted at such exercise price and such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine.  No options may be granted at a price less than $2.925. Options for 97,550 Class A shares were outstanding at June 30, 2007 (117,450 shares at September 30, 2006 and 117,450 shares at June 30, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.125 to $17.25 per share. Options for 13,900 shares were canceled during the three month period ended December 31, 2006, at a price of $10.75 per share. Options for 6,000 shares were exercised during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, at a price of $3.55 per share. No other options were granted, exercised or canceled during the three or nine month periods presented under the Employee Plans. All options granted under the Employee Plans are exercisable at June 30, 2007.


The Company's Outside Directors Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Directors Plans"), provide for the automatic grant of options to purchase up to 51,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company, at the fair market value on the date of grant. Options for 51,000 Class A shares were outstanding at June 30, 2007 (48,000 shares at September 30, 2006 and 48,000 shares at June 30, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.55 to $12.25 per share. Options for 6,000 shares were granted under the Directors Plans during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, at a price of $10.50 and $5.25 per share respectively. Options for 3,000 shares expired during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, at $8.50 and $18.00 per share respectively. All outstanding options under the Directors Plans become fully exercisable on February 22, 2010.
