ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On July 20, 2006, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the equity of Delaware Fastener Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DFAC”), pursuant to an exchange agreement with the stockholders of DFAC. The stockholders of DFAC included our chairman, Alex Kreger, his son Richard Kreger and daughter, Aimee Brooks (the “Related Parties”). Contemporaneously, DFAC acquired the assets, subject to certain liabilities, of Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“Freundlich Supply”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated May 24, 2006 among DFAC, Freundlich Supply, and Michael Freundlich. The purchase of the assets was financed by the proceeds from the sale by the Company of its securities pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The overall transaction involved an investment of $5,750,000 (five million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars) and the Related Parties obtained an eventual approximate 16% interest in the Company (assuming full conversion of the convertible preferred series A and B shares and the convertible note and no adjustment to the conversion prices). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, DFAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, the Company changed its name to Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. and DFAC changed its name to Freundlich Supply Company, Inc.
In connection with the transactions described above, Midtown Partners, with whom Mr. Richard Kreger is a vice president, an investor in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the son of the Company’s Chairman, Alex Kreger, obtained 250,000 of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred shares. These shares were received from the shares paid by the Company to DFAC.

Prior to consummation of the above transactions, Mr. Alex Kreger was neither a director of, nor did he hold any position with, the Company, nor did he have a familial relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company.
Independence of Directors
The Board consists of 5 members of whom 4 are non-management directors. Determination as to the qualifications of an independent directors are determined under the definition of Independent director as set forth in Rule 4200 of the NASDAQ Manual. The independence guidelines and the Company’s categorical standards include a series of objective tests, such as the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings involving the Company, which would prevent a director from being independent.
Only Mr. Prince, the Company’s President and CEO, is a management director and non-independent. Mr. Phillips serves as the Company’s secretary, he is not employed by the Company; since he is an officer of the Company he would not be considered independent, although in all other respects he is.
Board Meetings

All Board members other than Chris Phillips attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of Board meetings and applicable committee meetings held while such individuals were serving on the Board of Directors, or such committees. Each director is expected to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure the diligent performance of his or her duties, including attending meetings of the shareholders of the Company, the Board of Directors and committees of which he or she is a member.
Code of Ethics and Committee Charters
Drafts of a Code of Ethics and committee charters for the Audit and Compensation committees have been prepared and are under review by the Board of Directors but have not been formally adopted.
Audit Committee

Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
