4.  PRECISION INVENTORY IMPAIRMENT IN 2009

During 2009 the Company determined that the value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Precision on September 10, 2007, was overstated by $13.8 million because the inventory was obsolete, expired, old and/or slow moving.  The $13.8 million charge to reduce the value of this inventory is included in cost of sales for 2009.
