The Company has made a series of advances under a loan to a start-up connector company, Applied Optical Systems, Inc. (the “Borrower”). On September 19, 2007, the Company made an advance to the Borrower which, when aggregated with the other advances made to the Borrower, increases the net amount owed to the Company by the Borrower to approximately 10% of the Company’s total assets.

As of September 19, 2007, the Company had advanced a total of $3,438,379, net (including some accrued interest and accounts receivable from certain product sales) to the Borrower. The note receivable associated with the advances matures July 31, 2008, if not further amended. The note receivable is collateralized by all of the Borrower’s tangible and intangible property and bears interest at six percent (6%) per annum. Two of the founders of the Borrower have also personally guaranteed amounts up to two-thirds of the principal balance outstanding on the note receivables plus two-thirds of any accrued interest related to the note receivables. In connection with the loan, the Company was issued a warrant by the Borrower which, as amended, gives the Company the right to purchase a fifty-six percent (56%) equity interest in the Borrower on a fully diluted, as converted basis, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. In addition, the Company was granted the right to purchase all other outstanding equity of the Borrower at various times from 2009 through 2012, at a fixed multiple of trailing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), conditioned upon the Company’s exercise of the warrant or the Borrower’s failure to repay the loans when due. The note receivable is callable by the Company at any time. The Company’s rights under the warrant terminate if the warrant is not exercised prior to the expiration date.

The loan is part of a strategy designed to provide the Company with the ability to expand its product line offering in certain market niches in which the Company currently sells its fiber optic cable products and to preserve channels to market for the Company’s existing product line offering in those market niches over the longer term.
