SECTION 1--REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

The text set forth below under Item 2.03 is incorporated into this Item by this
reference.

SECTION 2--FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

On January 3, 2005, we, along with our subsidiaries Apex Machine Tool Company,
Inc. and Gros-Ite Industries Inc., entered into a Credit Agreement with
Banknorth, N.A., pursuant to which we refinanced all of our loan facilities with
our former primary lender with financing from Banknorth. The Credit Agreement
provides for a new credit facility which includes a revolving line of credit in
an amount up to $5,000,000, a term loan of $5,000,000 and an equipment line of
credit in the amount of up to $1,500,000. The revolving line of credit is
limited to an amount determined by a formula based on percentages of our
receivables and inventory and bears interest at the rate of the lender's prime
lending rate plus 1% adjusted daily. The term loan is payable in 60 monthly
payments of $97,560 including interest at 6.3%. The equipment line of credit
will provide advances to purchase eligible equipment and bears interest at the
rate of the lender's prime lending rate plus 1% adjusted daily. The equipment
line of credit will convert to a term note on July 31, 2005, with monthly
payments of principal and interest in an amount to amortize the then existing
principal balance in 60 equal monthly payments including interest at the then
FHLBB 5 year Regular Amortizing Advance Rate plus 2.5%.

On January 3, 2005, we borrowed the full amount of the $5 million term note and
$776,000 on the revolving line of credit to pay the former primary lender in
full and closing fees.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, we also entered into a Security
Agreement with Banknorth, pursuant to which we and our subsidiaries, Apex
Machine Tool and Gros-Ite Industries, have granted to Banknorth a first priority
security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets.
We also entered into Open-End Mortgage Deeds pursuant to which we granted
security to Banknorth in the form of real property, and we entered into a
Borrower's Environmental Indemnification.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial
covenants including financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage
and debt service coverage ratios and prohibits the payment of distributions with
respect to equity interests.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiaries,
Apex Machine Tool and Gros-Ite Industries.

The new loan facility contains customary events of default including certain
change of control and management change events. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, the outstanding



obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated and become due and
payable immediately.
