Schedule of Subsequent Events [Text Block]


At the beginning of fiscal 2012, we had an investment in Eetrex of $2,720, for a 70% ownership in their stock. Eetrex is located in Boulder, Colorado and is a developer and manufacturer of chargers, inverters and battery systems for hybrid and plug-in hybrid electronic vehicles. In July 2011, we paid an additional $600 and acquired an additional 10% of their stock, for a total 80% ownership. We have an additional option to acquire an additional 10% of Eetrex between September 1, 2011 and October 31, 2011 for $480. In the event we exercise the option to purchase the additional 10%, each of the existing stockholders of Eetrex will have the right to exercise put options, requiring us to purchase their remaining shares after the end of fiscal 2014 or 2016, and we will have an option to purchase any remaining shares after the end of fiscal 2016. The purchase price will be based on a percentage of net sales recorded since March 2011 of between 2.0% and 3.5%.
