SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company believes that certain statements contained in this report and in the future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Company’s written and oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.
The words and phrases “looking ahead,” “is confident,” “should be,” “will,” “predicted,” “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimates,” “likely,” “expect” and “anticipate” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance, but are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment which may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements and cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. As a result, in some future quarter the Company’s operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such an event, the trading price of the Company’s common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. Many of the factors that will determine results of operations are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.
Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks set forth above, in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and elsewhere in this report.
Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include:
• | | The effect of continuing unfavorable economic conditions on market growth trends, in particular higher energy costs, in general and the impact on the Company’s customers, the demand for the Company’s products and services, and the Company’s ordinary sources of supply in particular; |
• | | Risks inherent in international operations, including possible economic, political or monetary instability and its impact on the level and profitability of foreign sales; |
• | | Uncertainties relating to the Company’s ability to consummate its business strategy, including the Company’s inability to successfully realize synergies and cost savings from the integration of previously acquired businesses; |
• | | Changes in the costs and availability of raw materials and the Company’s ability to adjust selling prices to reflect those changes; |
3
• | | The Company’s reliance on existing senior management and the impact of the loss of any of those persons or its inability to continue to identify, hire and retain qualified management personnel; |
• | | Uncertainties relating to the Company’s ability to develop and distribute new proprietary products to respond to market needs in a timely manner and the Company’s ability to continue to protect its proprietary product information and technology; |
• | | The Company’s ability to continue to successfully identify and implement productivity improvements and cost reduction initiatives; |
• | | The Company’s reliance on a small number of significant customers; |
• | | Uncertainties relating to the Company’s ability to continue to compete effectively with other producers of specialty transferable coatings and producers of alternative products with greater financial and management resources; |
• | | Control of the Company by a principal stockholder; and |
• | | The effects of acts of terrorism and armed conflicts on the Company’s operations, demands for products and sources of supply. |
The risks included here are not exhaustive. The Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impacts of all such risk factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated events.
Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the Company’s responsibility.

Note 5. Contingencies and Commitments
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. On June 22, 2006, the Pennsylvania Event Driven Fund, a holder of 500 Shares, filed a punitive class action complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (Case No. 06 CH 1264), against us and each of our directors. The complaint disclaims any request for damages and seeks only declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, the complaint seeks a declaration that non-solicitation, expense reimbursement and termination fee provisions in the merger agreement between the Company and Illinois Tool Works Inc. (see Note 9) ostensibly were entered into in breach of the board’s fiduciary duty. The complaint also seeks a multi-faceted injunction requiring the defendants to comply with certain conditions (including a condition that the merger be approved by a majority of the minority of our stockholders) before the merger, or “any acquisition,” can be consummated. The Company has reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiff in connection with the settlement of this litigation. Although the settlement is subject to additional documentation, confirmatory discovery, and court approval, the basic terms of the settlement are expected to include certain additional disclosures that have been reflected in the Information Statement, which has been filed with the SEC and mailed to the Company’s stockholders and which describes the merger, the grant of mutual releases of all claims (excluding appraisal rights), dismissal of the lawsuit, and the payment to plaintiff’s counsel by the Company of attorneys’ fees and expenses. In the event that this settlement is not ultimately concluded, the Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have any material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6. Derivative Instruments
On April 4, 2003, the Company executed two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on the Company’s U.S. term loans. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the risk of adverse changes in variable interest rates. The notional amounts were $4,606,324 (with a fixed rate of 4.43%), and $2,303,840 (with a fixed rate of 4.82%) on April 4, 2003. The swap agreements terminate on January 31, 2008. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and, accordingly, the Company has recorded these derivative instruments and the associated assets or liabilities at their fair values with the related gains or losses recorded as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Note 7. Supplemental Pro Forma Information and Disclosures of Stock Based Compensation
The Company has a non-qualified stock option plan for its employees and directors (the “Stock Option Plan”) and a director’s stock option plan for its non-employee directors (the “Director’s Stock Option Plan”).
Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan consists of two arrangements – the “1995 Plan” and the “2000 Plan.” A total of 400,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under these plans, subject to anti-dilution and adjustment provisions. No options may be granted after August 15, 2005 (1995 Plan), or after November 6, 2009 (2000 Plan). If an option expires or is terminated or cancelled unexercised, the shares related to such options are returned to total shares reserved for issuance. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan have a term of ten years and generally vest over a four year period.
10
Director Stock Option Plan. The Company’s Director Stock Option Plan consists of two arrangements – the “1995 Plan” and the “2000 Plan”. A total of 100,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under these plans, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions. Options granted under these plans have a term of ten years subject to earlier termination if the optionee’s service as a director terminates and vest over a four year period.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). This Statement requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock options and similar equity instruments issued to employees over the requisite service period. SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic method of accounting provided for in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the grant of stock options to employees if certain conditions were met.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, prior period amounts presented herein have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company included all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options in operating cash flows in its consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 123R, for the period beginning with first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company includes the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options in financing cash flows in its consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company determines fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no grants during the first and second quarters of 2006.
The expected term of the awards was determined using the “simplified method” as stated in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 that utilizes the following formula: ((vesting term + original contract term)/2). Expected stock volatility was determined based on historical volatility for the 6.25 year-period preceding the measurement date. The risk-free rate was based on the yield curve in effect at the time options were granted, using U.S. Treasury constant maturities over the expected life of the option. Expected forfeitures were determined based on the Company’s expectations and past experiences. Expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s dividend policy at the time the options were granted.
Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense was $37,427 ($24,140 net of income taxes) and the related tax benefit for non-qualified stock options was $13,287 for the first half of 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R.

There were no options granted and there were 31,000 options exercised in the first half of 2006. As of June 30, 2006, there was $124,444 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans. The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the period was $37,427.

Note 8. Net Operating Loss Tax Asset
The Company’s German business has generated cumulative tax net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs) totaling 5.6 million Euros at June 30, 2006. These NOLs are being carried forward to offset future taxable income in Germany. The Company has recorded cumulative deferred tax assets of $2.4 million as of June 30, 2006 relating to the benefit of these NOLs. At present time the unused NOLs have no expiration date. Although realization of the deferred tax asset is not assured, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax asset will be realized, and accordingly no valuation allowance has been provided. If the Company concludes that as a result of actions planned or taken, the German business cannot maintain profitability, or if there are changes to the German tax law, the Company may need to adjust the value of the Company’s deferred tax assets resulting in a reduction to income in the period in which such determination is made.
Note 9. Pending Acquisition of the Company By Illinois Tool Works Inc.
On June 19, 2006 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) for $16.75 in cash per share. The price represents a premium of approximately 48% over the closing price of $11.30 per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 19, 2006.
Under the terms of the agreement, which was recommended by a special committee comprised entirely of independent directors of the Company and unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, ITW, through a subsidiary, will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for $16.75 per share. The Company’s Board of Directors has received an opinion from Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. that $16.75 per share is fair, from a financial point of view, to the public stockholders of the Company. The transaction is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2006.
For further information, please see the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2006, and mailed to its stockholders on or about that date.
Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurable attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the Interpretation on its financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company formulates, manufactures and sells chemically-complex, transferable, multi-layer coatings for use in many diversified markets, such as holographic packaging and authentication seals, furniture and building products, pharmaceutical products and transaction cards (including credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards and access cards), and intaglio printing.
The Company’s cost of goods sold reflects all direct product costs and direct labor, quality control, shipping and receiving, maintenance, process engineering and plant management, but excludes depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily composed of sales representatives’ salaries and related expenses, commissions to sales representatives, advertising costs, management compensation, and corporate audit and legal expense. Research and development expenses include salaries of technical personnel and experimental materials.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain items from the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a percentage of net sales for the periods presented:

Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2005
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 decreased 16.8 percent to $18.5 million, from $22.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Holographic products sales decreased 34.9 percent to $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, from $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales for the Visa credit card holographic magnetic stripe attributable to Visa International’s March 2006 directive to its member financial institutions and authorized credit card manufacturers to cease producing and issuing Visa credit cards incorporating the holographic magnetic stripe that we had been providing to credit card manufacturers, due to reported electro-static discharge anomalies with the magnetic stripe. Printed products sales in the second quarter of 2006 decreased 7.9 percent to $6.7 million, down from $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to softness in the consumer furniture market. Pharmaceutical product sales decreased 2.9 percent to $3.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, from $3.5 million in the same period in 2005, primarily due to general market conditions. Security products (magnetic stripes, signature panels and tipping products for credit cards, intaglio-printed products and gift cards) sales decreased 25.9 percent to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2006, down from $2.0 million during the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily a result of an earlier startup of gift card production in 2005, as compared to the same period in 2006. Sales of simulated metal and other pigmented products decreased 9.4 percent to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, down from $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to soft European sales.
Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, decreased 7.4 percent to $13.5 million, down from $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower sales as discussed above of $3.7 million, plus higher material costs of $500,000. Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percentage of net sales to 72.9 percent, from 65.4 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to lower sales and higher material scrap and production costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased 6.7 percent to $4.1 million, up from $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a net increase in employee headcount. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percentage of net sales to 22.2 percent, up from 17.2 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to lower sales as described above and higher selling expenses.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, decreased 3.6 percent to $683,000 from $709,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percentage of net sales to 3.7 percent, from 3.2 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 due primarily to lower sales.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased 4.2 percent to $1,218,000, from $1,170,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 6.6 percent, from 5.3 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 due to lower sales.
15
Transaction expenses incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 in connection with the proposed sale of the Company were $708,000, a $274,000 increase from $434,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Operating (loss) income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, decreased to a loss of ($1.7) million, from $1.5 million in income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in operating income is primarily a result of the reasons noted above.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased 1.5 percent to $273,000, from $269,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was due to rising interest rates.
Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased to $63,000, from $4,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily related to interest received on overnight investments.
Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, decreased to $4,000, from $35,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in rental income associated with the tenant in the adjacent Chicago Heights facility vacating the property under the terms of the lease agreement.
Interest rate swap valuation (benefit) provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, decreased to a provision of $1,500, from a (benefit) of $35,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This represents the change in the fair value of the swap agreement.
There was a foreign currency exchange gain of $160,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $488,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This was a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.
Income taxes (benefits) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was ($622,000), compared to a provision of $276,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The effective tax rate remained unchanged at 35.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Net (loss) income was ($1,129,000) in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to income of $498,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This decrease in net income is primarily due to the reasons described above.
16
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 9.5 percent to $40.9 million, from $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Holographic product sales decreased 7.6 percent to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to softness in holographic product sales. Printed product sales for these periods decreased 9.3 percent to $14.6 million, from $16.0 million primarily due to softness in the furniture market. Pharmaceutical product sales for these periods increased 4.6 percent to $7.8 million, up from $7.5 million. This increase is primarily the result of continued penetration on a global basis. Security products (magnetic stripe, signature panels and tipping products for credit cards, intaglio-printed products and gift cards) sales decreased 33.0 percent to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $4.7 million in the first half of 2005. This decrease was primarily due to earlier start up of the gift card business in 2005, and a spillover of the tail end gift card business in late 2004 into early 2005. Sales of simulated metal and other pigmented products decreased 12.9 percent to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to soft European sales of $1.0 million, offset by stronger domestic sales of $200,000. In addition, the Euro depreciated in value by an average of 4.3 percent compared to the U.S. dollar, and as a result sales decreased approximately $456,000 in the first half of 2006.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 2.9 percent to $28.1 million, from $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales levels and higher material costs of $700,000. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percent of net sales to 68.8 percent, from 64.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in percentage was primarily due to higher scrap costs and decreased leverage of fixed manufacturing overhead costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 1.1 percent to $7.7 million, from $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to lower incentive compensation earned. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percent of net sales to 18.8 percent, from 17.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in percentage was primarily due to lower sales.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 3.7 percent to $1,360,000, from $1,413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to the decrease of incentive compensation earned based on the decrease in sales as described above. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percentage of net sales to 3.3 percent, from 3.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower sales.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased 2.9 percent to $2.4 million, from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased as a percentage of net sales, to 5.9 percent, from 5.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to lower sales.
Transaction expenses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2006 in connection with the possible sale of the Company were $1.2 million, compared to $434,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
17
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 96.2 percent to $163,000, down from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to the reasons noted above. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 0.4 percent, down from 9.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the reasons noted above.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 0.6 percent to $544,000, down from $548,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was attributable to less interest paid due to scheduled principal payments.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased to $102,000, from $9,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily related to interest received on overnight investments.
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased to $9,000, from $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is attributable to the decrease in rental income associated with the tenant in the adjacent Chicago Heights facility vacating the property under the terms of the lease agreement.
Interest rate swap valuation provision (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased to a (benefit) of $7,000, from a (benefit) of $32,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease represents the current period change in the value of the swap agreement.
There was a foreign currency exchange gain of ($298,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and a loss of $766,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This change was a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in 2006.
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased 98.9 percent to $13,000, from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in income taxes was primarily caused by the decrease in pretax income as the effective tax rate remained constant.
Net income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2006, to $22,000, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease in net income is primarily due to the reasons noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Despite a decrease in net income of $1.9 million, the Company’s cash flow provided from operations increased by $146,000 to $2,038,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,892,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to improved working capital management.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had available $10.0 million under the revolving credit agreement maintained with the Company’s primary bank. This agreement, which matures on April 1, 2007, is collateralized by the Company’s trade accounts receivables and inventories. The Company believes that the net cash provided by operating activities and amounts available under the revolving credit agreement are sufficient to finance the Company’s growth and future capital requirements. The Company had no material commitments to purchase capital assets as of June 30, 2006.

Euro Conversion
Member countries of the European Union have established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies (“legacy currencies”) and one common currency, the Euro. Since January 1, 2002, the new Euro-denominated notes and coins are in circulation and legacy currencies have been withdrawn from circulation. The Company has a manufacturing facility located in a member country (Germany), and the conversion to the Euro has eliminated currency exchange rate risk for transactions between parties located in the member countries, which for the Company primarily consists of payments to suppliers. In addition, because the Company uses foreign-denominated debt to meet its foreign financial requirements and to reduce its foreign currency risks, certain of these financial instruments are denominated in Euro to finance European activities. The Company addressed all issues involved with converting to the new currency, and the conversion did not have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At June 30, 2006, the Company had total assets of $25.9 million and net assets of $9.0 million invested in Europe.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments held by the Company for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable approximated its carrying value at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 based upon analysis of their collectability and net realizable value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its carrying value at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, based upon market prices for the same or similar type of financial instrument. The Company attempts to minimize its exposure to the impact of fluctuation in foreign exchange rates in situations for certain sales for products sold in Europe but manufactured in the U.S. through the movement of production of those products to Europe. There are no other activities of the Company for which management believes exchange rates have a material impact with respect to the underlying transactions. In January 2003, the Company renewed its main loan agreements. The two main domestic loans, Term Loan A and Term Loan B were renewed at a floating prime rate of interest with a one-time option to lock the interest rate at LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Company executed two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on Term Loan A at 4.82% on the principal balance of $2,303,840, and Term Loan B at 4.43% on the principal balance of $4,606,324 on April 4, 2003. The swap agreements terminate on January 31, 2008. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, the Company will record these derivative instruments and the associated assets or liabilities at their fair values with the related gains or losses recorded as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to address currency or commodity pricing risks.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the overall effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006.
The evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures by the CEO and the CFO included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any, because there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. As a result, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2005. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. At December 31, 2005, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy and presentation and disclosure of stock-based compensation expense. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure that stock compensation expense was recorded upon modification of director stock options to extend the term of the awards. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company remediated the material weakness by implementing the remediation plan described in the 2005 Form 10-K. As a result, stock compensation expense was properly recorded in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably like to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 22, 2006, the Pennsylvania Avenue Funds filed a punitive class action complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (Case No. 06 CH 1264), against CFC and its directors, as well as former director William G. Brown.
The complaint disclaims any request for damages and seeks only declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, the complaint seeks a declaration that any non-solicitation, expense reimbursement and termination fee provisions in the merger agreement were entered into in breach of the director defendant’s fiduciary duties. The complaint also seeks a multi-faceted injunction requiring the defendants to comply with certain conditions (including the condition that the merger be approved by the majority of the minority of our stockholders) before the ITW merger, or “any acquisition,” could be consummated. CFC has reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiff in connection with the settlement of this litigation. Although the settlement is subject to additional documentation, confirmatory discovery, and court approval, the basic terms of the settlement are expected to include certain additional disclosures that have been reflected in this Information Statement, the grant of mutual releases of all claims (excluding appraisal rights), dismissal of the lawsuit, and the payment to plaintiff’s counsel by CFC of attorney’s fees and expenses. In the event that this settlement is not ultimately concluded, we intend to defend the suit vigorously.

There were no material changes in the second quarter of 2006 from the previously reported 2005 Form 10-K risk factors.
