DECEMBER 31, 2007
1. Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2007.
2. Short-term Investments
Investments are comprised of marketable securities in the form of mutual funds. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at their fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss). During fiscal 2007 all short-term investments were sold. Short-term investments are as follows:

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. Subsequent to the balance sheet date this
agreement was extended through February 2010. The agreement is secured
by the Company's
accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and general intangibles. The credit agreement contains 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 violated the pre-tax interest
coverage ratio covenant at September 30, 2007 and obtained a waiver
from
its financial lender. The Company is in compliance with both loan
covenants
at December 31, 2007. The Company had no outstanding borrowings
under
this loan facility at December 31, 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 73,400 Class A shares were outstanding at December 31, 2007 (93,150 shares at September 30, 2007 and 103,550 shares at December 31, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.125 to $10.50 per share. Options for 14,450 at a prices ranging from $3.125 to $10.50 per share were exercised during the three month period ended December 31, 2007. In addition, options for 5,300 at a price of $10.50 per share expired during the three month period ended December 31, 2007. Options for 13,900 at a price of $10.75 per share expired during the three month period ended December 31, 2006. No other options were granted, exercised or canceled during the three month periods presented under the Employee Plans. All options granted under the Employee Plans are exercisable at December 31, 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 December 31, 2007 (51,000 shares at September 30, 2007 and 48,000 shares at December 31, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.55 to $12.25 per share. All outstanding options under the Directors Plans become fully exercisable on February 22, 2010.
