Attn: Independent Committee

Dear Sir/Madam:

As you may know, Strategic Turnaround Equity Partners, LP (Cayman) and its affiliates (collectively “Strategic”) have been shareholders since 2006 and very supportive of the Company’s management team while it has been growing the business.

We were very surprised to read the recent news release that the Company has established an Independent Committee to explore the possibility of ceasing its reporting obligations with the Securities & Exchange Commission which would result in the delisting of the Company’s common shares from trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

We believe that the costs of remaining a public company are minimal in relation to the significant potential upside in the Company’s share price.

I have had numerous meetings and telephone conversations with Paul DePond over the past few years and none of my suggestions have ever been pursued to attempt to improve the liquidity of the shares. The best interests of shareholders will not be achieved by allowing the Company’s shares to “go dark.”  While we do agree that the trading market for the stock is lackluster, we also know that the Company has done very little in the way of a executing a meaningful investor relations program to increase the awareness and visibility of the Company.

The Company should first engage in a meaningful investor relationship program with a recognizable firm.  I have given Mr. DePond names of these firms in the past. I will supply you with a list under separate cover. The Company should explore the possibility of a merger with another company to create value for the shareholders and consolidate public company expenses, announce a $1,000,000 share buyback program as well as consider dividending all or a significant portion of the cash to shareholders.

The bottom line is that the Board has an obligation to explore and exhaust all options to create shareholder value prior to such a drastic consideration of “going dark.”

I look forward to discussing this letter and other ideas with you at your earliest convenience.

Very truly yours,


Bruce Galloway
