Land Lease

On April 26, 1993, one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries entered into a 99 year lease, expiring in 2092, for approximately four acres of land in the Dominican Republic at an annual cost of $288,000, on which the Company's principal production facility is located.

Litigation

Employment Agreements

As of June 30, 2013, the Company was obligated under two employment agreements and one severance agreement.  The employment agreements are with the Company’s CEO and Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing (“the SVP”).

The employment agreement with the SVP expires in October 2014 and provides for an annual salary of $274,400 and, if terminated by the Company without cause, severance of nine months’ salary and continued company-sponsored health insurance for six months from the date of termination. The severance agreement provides for payments equal to nine months of salary and six months of health insurance in the event of a non-voluntary termination of employment without cause.
