ITEM 8.01     OTHER EVENTS
On February 7, 2008, the Arkansas Supreme Court rejected our appeal in the Advanced Control Solutions (ACS) case, and affirmed the judgment of the circuit court, where a jury in March 2006 found us liable for interfering with a non-compete agreement, causing ACS to lose future business opportunities and for missing equipment. The Arkansas Supreme Court also denied ACS’s appeal of the $45,562 plus attorney’s fees awarded to us in March 2006 on our counterclaim against ACS for breach of contract. We do not intend to appeal the case further.
Our liability for the original judgment in the amount of $655,769 was recorded in 2005. The judgment will be paid from funds we set aside in a restricted certificate of deposit in 2006.
