all aspects of the manufacturing business and brings years of successful experience in manufacturing, sales, marketing, channel distribution
and supply chain. Ms. Bauer began her career as a licensed real estate broker, started her own real estate business and grew into a real
estate developer of residential sub-divisions and condominiums. It was her success in the real estate business that enabled her to purchase
the manufacturing concern. Ms. Bauer has been an independent director of Mid-America Bank (a startup bank in Southern Illinois) which
was successful merged. Ms. Bauer holds a B.S. in finance from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.

We
believe Ms. Bauer’s extensive experience as an industrialist, coupled with her significant private and public company board experience,
make her well-qualified to serve on the Board.
