Note 7 -Litigation
On December 2, 2012, the Company was served with a class action complaint filed in
federal court filed in Covington, Kentucky. The complaint, captioned Bradford Haynes
vs. The Company, was filed by a shareholder of the Company on behalf of himself and
other shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock during the period of
March 31, 2011, through December 31, 2011. The plaintiff alleges that the Company
violated federal securities laws by making untrue statements of material facts and
omitting material facts concerning the Company’s construction and start-up of its new
manufacturing facility in Plano, Texas. Also named as defendants in the complaint are
certain officers and directors of the Company. The Plaintiff is seeking an unspecified
amount of monetary damages. While this action is in its preliminary stages,
management believes that the allegations are without merit and the Company intends to
defend the lawsuit vigorously.
