to core competence. Our operations continue to improve as evidenced by our

quarter. As a result, we have increased interest by the big box retailers

for our products based on a renewed focus of quality and service into these

accounts.

“Our main focus at this point is to correct our price points in our

markets. We have implemented significant price increases in both our

commercial and industrial division and with our retail customers. These

price increases will be underway during the third quarter of 2008 and we

have high optimism with the level of success of our price increases

attained. We also continue to work on our infrastructure and our new IT

platform installation will be in progress soon. This will aid operations

in getting relevant data quickly to make us quicker and smarter. We also

are continuing to focus on automation and leveraging our purchase volume on

raw material purchases to get us a distinct advantage over our smaller

competitors in the air filtration industry.”
