M. Kalla, for a purchase price of $15.2 million in cash plus (i) $216,672
(subject to final adjustment) related to tax reimbursements discussed below and
(ii) $677,074 (subject to final adjustment) based on ABCC's closing date balance
sheet, equal to the balances of cash plus accounts receivable (net of a bad debt
reserve of 5%) less all liabilities as of the closing date. In addition, the

The Registrant and ABCC made an election to treat the purchase and sale
of the capital stock of ABCC as a purchase and sale of assets. The Registrant
reimbursed the stockholders of ABCC $216,672 (subject to final adjustment), the
difference between the taxes incurred by such stockholders as a result of such
election and the taxes which would have been incurred by such stockholders had
no such election been made.
Mr. Barber and Mr. Kalla each entered into a two-year employment
contract with the Registrant and received an incentive stock option to purchase
37,500 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.00.
The funds used by the Registrant to purchase ABCC were obtained from
the sale of 4,600,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock offered to the
public through an initial public offering (the "IPO") on Form S-1 (File Number
333-53395)(the "Registration Statement") which closed simultaneously with the
