Item 8.01Other Events

Elimination of Lease Obligations

On October 30, 2007, APA Enterprises closed on the purchase of the property in Blaine, Minnesota that it leased from Jain-Olson Properties. This location had previously served as the Company’s headquarters.  Immediately following the transaction, the Company sold the property to a third party.

These transactions have eliminated the lease obligations of the Company related to this location.  As a result, approximately $300,000 of accrued obligations related to this lease in conjunction with the discontinuation of the Optronics segment during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 will be taken into income during the three months ending December 31, 2007.
 
Earlier in the month, the Company successfully entered into a lease agreement for its Aberdeen, South Dakota facility which allows the tenant first opportunity to purchase the building over the upcoming three year period.
