ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On May 25, 2006, the Registrant entered into an agreement to sell its Cessna 1994 Citation Jet to Hudson Company of Tennessee (“Buyer”) pursuant to an Aircraft Purchase Agreement for the sale price of $2,275,000.  The Registrant disclaims all warranties and is selling the aircraft on an “as is” condition.  Delivery of the aircraft in acceptable condition must take place on or before June 9, 2006.

ITEM 1.02  TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On May 11, 2006, the Registrant received notice from MMS Investment Group, Inc., purporting to terminate a Contract for Sale of Real Estate dated March 15, 2006, pursuant to which MMS agreed to buy the Registrant’s Robertson County, Tennessee plant.

MMS asserts that certain trailers included in the sale of the Tennessee plant were unacceptable, and therefore MMS was entitled to cancel under paragraph 15 of the Contract allowing termination if a defect is discovered that materially affects the value of the property.  The portion of the total $5.3 million purchase allocated to the trailers in the Contract is $75,000. The Registrant believes that the value of the trailers is not material to the value of the property and that MMS must forfeit $25,000 of its earnest money deposit, plus interest. The parties have reached an agreement as to the amount of the forfeiture.
