9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is the plaintiff in a suit pursuing patent infringement against a competitor in the emissions market. On March 29, 2011 The United States District Court Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division published a Case Management Schedule that calls for a number of steps to be implemented between that date and September 15, 2011 culminating in a scheduled Settlement Conference September 20, 2011. It is not possible , at this time, to estimate the timing of subsequent actions in the matter and management believes that it is not currently possible to estimate the impact, if any, that the ultimate resolution of the patent infringement matter will have on the company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
