    portion of the facility.

| | At the Companys option, for both the secured term loan and
    the secured revolving credit facility, interest will be at
    either a bank base rate plus applicable margin, or an adjusted
    LIBOR plus a LIBOR applicable margin. At inception, the bank
    rate plus applicable margin was 6.75% and the adjusted LIBOR
    plus a LIBOR applicable margin was 5.35%. At December 31,
    2004 those rates were 7.75% and 6.78%, respectively, and at
    December 31, 2005, those rates were 9.25% and 7.97%,
    respectively.

| | The Company entered into a swap agreement effective
    June 30, 2004 related to $10,750,000 (the original notional
    amount) of its term debt. The swap agreement is for the purpose
    of limiting the effects of interest rate increases on
    approximately one-half of the Companys variable rate term
    debt. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of
    3.72% on the notional amount, which is payable quarterly. In
    accordance with the term loan agreement, the Company also pays
    an interest margin which adjusts in steps based on achieved
    operating and leverage metrics (4.00% during the first three
    months of 2005, and then reducing to 3.50%). The notional amount
    as of December 31, 2005 was $8,875,000. The swap agreement
    expires March 31, 2008

    with cash interest of 12% and
    payment-in-kind
    interest of 2% or 4% with no principal amortization, and the
    balances due March 26, 2009. This debt is subordinated to
    the secured term loan and the revolving credit facility with
    respect to both payment and lien priority. The balance as of
    December 31, 2005 is $12,771,000 (reported as $11,988,000,
    reflecting a discount of $783,000).

| | Related to the senior secured subordinated note, on
    March 26, 2004, the Company issued 545,467 warrants to
    purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock for
    $0.02 per share; these warrants expire March 26, 2014.
    The warrant holder may exercise the warrants at any time. The
    warrants may be put to the Company, at their then fair market
    value, at the earlier of: a) five years from the date of
    issue; b) a change of control; c) a default on the
    senior secured subordinated loan; or d) a prepayment of 75%
    or more of the original principal balance of the senior secured
    subordinated loan.

| | (i) The Companys operating lease obligation amounts
    are shown in the significant cash commitments table below. The
    Company enters into operating leases for larger units of
    manufacturing equipment related to many of its operations,
    including the laser cutting of sheet metal and the forming of
    sheet metal. Most parts fabricated by the Company are either
    laser cut, or formed, or both. The Company has operating leases
    that are scheduled to expire in 2006-2011; as these leases
    expire, it is likely that the Company will either extend those
    operating leases for the same units of manufacturing equipment
    or enter into new operating lease arrangements for replacement
    manufacturing units.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|
| | (ii) The Company has provided bank letters of credit
    totaling approximately $2,086,000 to two creditors. One letter
    of credit is in support of operating lease payments; this letter
    of credit is for $388,000 and will be in effect through the
    entire term of certain leases that expire in December 2011,
    unless released earlier; the other letters of credit, in the
    total amount of $1,698,000 support future potential payments by
    the Company related to workers compensation claims. These
    letters of credit will renew on an annual basis until the need
    for the letters of credit expires. Based on workers
    compensation claims experience, the amount of these letters of
    credit are subject to adjustment on December 31, 2006. The
    outstanding letters of credit decrease, on a dollar-for-dollar
    basis, the amount of revolving line of credit available under
    the secured revolving credit facility.
|
| | (iii) The Company entered into a swap agreement effective
    June 30, 2004 as described above in this Item 7 and
    also below in Item 7A. The swap agreement is for the

| | 1) A four-year secured term loan in the original principal
    amount of $21,000,000 with variable rate interest; principal
    payments were due in quarterly installments of $500,000 which
    began June 30, 2004 and continued through March 31,
    2005, and due in quarterly installments of $750,000 beginning
    June 30, 2005 through December 31, 2007 with the
    balance of $6,427,000 due on March 31, 2008. Mandatory
    principal payments of $633,000 related to the 2003 sale of the
    assets of Mid-Central Plastics, Inc. have been made. The term
    loan requires excess cash flow repayments of $1,734,000 and
    $1,958,000 to be paid on March 31, 2006 and May 31,
    2006, respectively. The excess cash flow payments are equal to
    75% of the amount by which earnings before interest, income
    taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) exceed
    interest expense paid in cash, income taxes paid in cash,
    principal payments on all indebtedness and capital expenditures.
    No estimate has been made for any excess cash flow payment that
    could become due on March 31, 2007.

| | 2) A secured revolving credit facility with a limit of
    $18,000,000, with variable rate interest. At December 31,
    2005, the Company has a revolving credit balance of $9,700,000
    and availability of $7,042,000 under this facility. The balance
    is due March 31, 2008. The amount available under the
    revolving credit facility is limited to 85% of eligible accounts
    receivable and 60% of eligible inventories. The facility
    requires a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused
    portion of the facility.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|
| | At the Companys option, for both the secured term loan and
    the secured revolving credit facility, interest will be at
    either a bank base rate plus applicable margin, or an adjusted
    LIBOR plus a LIBOR applicable margin. At inception, the bank
    rate plus applicable margin was 6.75% and the adjusted LIBOR
    plus a LIBOR applicable margin was 5.35%. At December 31,
    2004 those rates were 7.75% and 6.78%, respectively, and at
    December 31, 2005, those rates were 9.25% and 7.97%,
    respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|
| | The Company entered into a swap agreement effective
    June 30, 2004 related to $10,750,000 (the original notional
    amount) of its term debt. The swap agreement is for the purpose
    of limiting the effects of interest rate increases on
    approximately one-half of the Companys variable rate term
    debt. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of
    3.72% on the notional amount, which is payable quarterly. In
    accordance with the term loan agreement, the Company also pays
    an interest margin which adjusts in steps based on achieved
    operating and leverage metrics (4.00% during the first three
    months of 2005, and then reducing to 3.50%). The notional amount
    as of December 31, 2005 was $8,875,000. The swap agreement
    expires March 31, 2008.

    with cash interest of 12% and
    payment-in-kind
    interest of 2% or 4% with no principal amortization, and the
    balances due March 26, 2009. This debt is subordinated to
    the secured term loan and the revolving credit facility with
    respect to both payment and lien priority. The balance as of
    December 31, 2005 is $12,771,000 (reported as $11,988,000,
    reflecting a discount of $783,000).

|(1) | For the purposes of the computation of percentages of our common
    stock presented in this table and under the rules of the SEC, a
    person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a
    security if that person has or shares voting power,
    which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such
    security, or investment power, which includes the
    power to dispose of or direct the disposition of such security.
    A holder is also deemed to beneficially own all shares that the
    holder may acquire upon the exercise of options or other rights
    exercisable within 60 days. Such shares that the holder may
    acquire (but no shares that any other holder may acquire upon
    the exercise of options held by such other holder) are deemed to
    be outstanding. Under these rules, more than one person may be
    deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person
    may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which
    such person has no economic interest.

    voting power with respect to, 1,253,990 shares of issued

    Class A shares described in note 3 that are subject to
    the Mealy shareholders agreement or the 1998 voting agreement,

|(3) | As discussed in this note, Mr. Morton has beneficial but
    not record ownership of 1,921,584 shares or 38.6% of the
    issued and outstanding shares of common stock (with 36.6% of the
    voting power on most issues) by virtue of certain proxies
    granted to him. He has shared voting power with respect to
    1,021,678 of those issued and outstanding shares (pursuant to
    the Mealy shareholders agreement) and sole voting power with
    respect to the remaining 899,906 shares pursuant to the
    1998 voting agreement. In connection with the merger,
    Mr. Morton does not have the power to vote the group of
    1,021,678 shares subject to the Mealy shareholders
