NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which prescribes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current period and other comprehensive income (income, expenses, gains and losses that currently bypass the income statement and are reported directly in a separate component of equity). SFAS 130 is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997, and accordingly has been adopted by the Company as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations herein. Also in June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which requires publicly-held companies to report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments in financial statements issued to shareholders for interim and annual periods. The statement also requires additional disclosures with respect to products and services, geographical areas of operations and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and for the interim periods beginning in the second year of application, and requires restatement of earlier periods presented. The Company is reviewing the effects of the disclosure requirements of this new standard. In addition, AcSEC issued SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, to address diversity in practice regarding whether and under what conditions the costs of internal-use software should be capitalized. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company is reviewing the effects of the disclosure requirements of this new standard.

The statement will be effective beginning January 1, 2003. In August of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 is effective beginning January 1, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 143 and 144. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The standards collectively provide new guidance for the recognition, amortization and continuing valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination, and SFAS No. 141 prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method of accounting for a business combination. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have an impact on our historical financial statements. We have not yet determined the full impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which must be applied beginning January 1, 2002. Industry segment financial data is included in Note 14 to the Company's September 30, 2001 consolidated financial statements. Overview.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS 137 amends FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," by deferring the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We will adopt SFAS 133 beginning January 1, 2001. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition Table of Contents threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is not aware of any issues that would cause a significant increase to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, Canada and various state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is generally three years for the United States and between eighteen months and four years for states. The Company is subject to the following material taxing jurisdictions: United States, Arizona, California, Maine, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The tax years that remain open to examination by the United States, Maine, North Carolina and Virginia jurisdictions are years ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2006; the Arizona and California filings that remain open to examination are years ended June 30, 2003, December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2006; the Pennsylvania filings that remain open to examination are years ended December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2006. FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”) in September 2006, to define fair value and require that the measurement thereof be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. Additionally, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) mark...

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In May 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB came to a consensus regarding EITF 02-14 "Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock". The consensus of the task force is that the equity method of accounting is to be used for investments in common stock or in-substance common stock, effective for reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2004. The Company currently has no equity investments other than its consolidated subsidiaries. As such, this standard has no application to the Company. In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, "Inventory Costs". SFAS No. 151 requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current period charges and that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes that the application of SFAS No. 151 will have no significant impact on the financial statements.
