This facility will collect production process water and filter it into clean water which will help the ecology of the stream adjacent to our site. With this, we expect to be able to reduce our utility cost associated with disposing of process water in the conventional manner. We are committed to sustainability within our company and our community today, and in the future. This project should be completed in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company is pleased with our annual results and is enthusiastically working and positioning our company to satisfy the expectations of our consumers, customers, employees and shareholders.
