Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Bonus Plan
On September 25, 2006, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") approved an
amendment of the Chief Executive Officer Bonus Plan, effective for
fiscal years beginning on and after October 1, 2006.  The amendment
establishes a threshold amount of corporate income, to be determined
annually by the Committee, so that annual bonuses calculated under the
plan will be based on corporate income that exceeds the threshold
amount.  Previously, there was no threshold amount under the plan.

The effect of the amendment is that the CEO will not be eligible to
receive a bonus until a minimum corporate objective of profitability
has been achieved, resulting in the CEO bonus amount at any given level
of corporate profitability being lower than it would have been under
the original bonus plan.

Stock Option Awards
On September 25, 2006, pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Option
Plan, the Committee awarded options to purchase common stock of the
Company to the executive officers named below.  They are non-statutory
stock options that vest ratably over two years. The option exercise
price was established as the closing market price on the American Stock
Exchange on the date of grant, which was $1.63 per share.

Herbert F. Imhoff, Jr., Chairman, CEO & President     40,000 shares
Kent M. Yauch, Vice President, CFO & Treasurer        20,000 shares
Marilyn L. White, Vice President                      20,000 shares

The form of the stock option agreement for executive officers is filed
