NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 25, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks then ended, respectively, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.
     The condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 26, 2007 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2007 annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2.   INVENTORIES
     Inventories consist primarily of raw material, work-in-progress (WIP) and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market value:
                 
    May 25,     August 26,  
    2008     2007  
Raw material
  $ 949,469     $ 537,033  
WIP
    1,029,467       963,702  
Finished goods
    486,022       398,564  
 
           
 
  $ 2,464,958     $ 1,899,299  
 
           
The Company did not dispose of any significant obsolete inventory during the quarter ended May 25, 2008 and therefore there was no material effect on gross margin from any dispositions.
3.   GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
     Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of costs resulting from business acquisitions which total $2,368,452 (net of accumulated amortization of $344,812). The Company assesses the valuation or potential impairment of its goodwill by utilizing a present value technique to measure fair value by estimating future cash flows. The Company constructs a discounted cash flow analysis based on various sales and cost assumptions to estimate the fair value of the Company (which is the only reporting unit). The result of the analysis performed in the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter did not show an impairment of goodwill. The Company will analyze goodwill more frequently should changes in events or circumstances, including reductions in anticipated cash flows generated by our operations, occur.
     The Company recorded $33,063 of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with mortgages entered into in order to purchase the Company’s facility in Monticello, Minnesota. The costs

are being amortized over five years on a straight-line basis with the Company incurring $1,653 of amortization expense for the quarters ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization on the deferred financing costs amounted to $27,001 and $20,388 at May 25, 2008 and August 26, 2007, respectively.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
and
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
     We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions. The estimates and judgments utilized are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis and by the audit committee of our board of directors at the end of each quarter prior to the public release of our financial results.
     The critical accounting policies and estimates followed in the preparation of the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 26, 2007. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for detailed information on accounting policies.
Results of Operations:
     Net sales were $6,703,000 for the quarter ending May 25, 2008 compared to $5,238,000 in the same period of the prior year, an increase of 28%. Year-to-date sales for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 were $19,099,000 compared to $13,807,000 in the prior year, an increase of 38%. The Company’s fiscal third quarter sales increased due to an increase in the Company’s energy business and the Company’s ATV business offset by decreases in sales to the Company’s motorcycle market. The overall increase in 2008 year-to-date sales as compared to 2007 were due to factors similar to those of the fiscal 2008 third quarter.
     Sales from the Company’s recreational vehicle market amounted to $3,444,000 and $4,078,000 for the quarters ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. Year-to-date sales for the Company’s recreational vehicle market were $10,703,000 and $10,948,000 for the three quarters ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. Sales for the quarter and year-to-date ended May 25, 2008 for the Company’s ATV market continue to be strong and are up 55% year-to-date over the prior year. Sales to the Company’s motorcycle market were lower due to both a previously announced volume reduction, but also due to a model year changeover occurring in the Company’s fiscal third quarter which normally occurs primarily in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter.
     Sales from the Company’s energy business amounted to $2,471,000 and $6,131,000 for the quarter and year-to-date ended May 25, 2008, respectively. In the prior year, the Company had $410,000 and $434,000 in sales for the quarter and year-to-date ended May 27, 2007, with the increases in fiscal 2008 due to the ramping up of production and new programs. In March 2008, the Company announced that it had secured a new customer in the energy industry and it expects that it will recognize its initial sales to this customer in the Company’s fiscal 2008 fourth quarter.

     Sales from the Company’s aerospace and defense markets amounted to $592,000 and $511,000 for the quarter ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. Year-to-date sales for the Company’s aerospace and defense markets were $1,662,000 and $1,582,000 for the three quarters ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. The Company believes these increases are a result from increases in business with certain of its existing customers as well as new sales from recently secured customers in these markets.
     Sales from the Company’s biosciences market totaled $162,000 and $207,000 for the quarter ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. Year-to-date sales for the biosciences market were $455,000 and $797,000 for the three quarters ended May 25, 2008 and May 27, 2007, respectively. The decreases in sales are due to the Company scaling back its involvement in this market and concentrating on higher margin components.
     Sales from the Company’s other revenue markets are at or under 1% of total sales in the current year and are immaterial to the Company’s revenues as a whole.
     Gross margin decreased to 18.0% for the quarter ending May 25, 2008 versus 18.9% in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to a sales mix that included parts with higher material content and therefore generally lower gross margins. Year-to-date gross margins increased to 19.3% from 17.9% with the increase primarily related to higher sales volume.
     Selling and administrative expense was $597,000 for the quarter ending May 25, 2008 versus $583,000 in the prior year quarter. Year-to-date selling and administrative expense of $1,823,000 was $268,000 higher than the comparable prior year period due to increases in compensation costs.
     Interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $75,000 as compared to $51,000 in the prior year quarter. Year-to-date interest expense for fiscal 2008 was $219,000 versus $140,000 in the prior year. Interest expense is up due to new capitalized leases entered into during fiscal 2008.
     The Company recorded income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 35% for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended May 25, 2008 and 38% for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended May 27, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     On May 25, 2008, working capital was $4,156,000 compared to $3,373,000 at August 26, 2007. The increase in working capital is attributable primarily to increases in the level of accounts receivable and inventories coming from an increased level of business. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at May 25, 2008 was 2.09 to 1.0 compared to 1.96 to 1.0 at August 26, 2007.
     The Company renewed its $1,000,000 revolving credit facility with its bank during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2008. Interest on the new agreement is at the bank’s prime rate. At May 25, 2008, the Company did not have a balance owing under this revolving line of credit agreement nor had it borrowed any funds during fiscal 2008.
     The Company paid quarterly dividends of $.0375 per share of its common stock in each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 and 2007. The dividend payments for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 totaled $309,000 and $303,000, respectively.
     It is the Company’s belief that its internally generated funds, as well as its line of credit, will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements during the next 12 months.

     The following risks and uncertainties, as well as others not now anticipated, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company’s actual results and could cause the Company’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the Company’s ability to obtain additional manufacturing programs and retain current programs; (ii) the Company’s ability to timely and cost effectively ramp up new programs; (iii) the loss of significant business from any one of its current customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company; (iv) the Company was dependent upon one customer for 75% of its revenues in fiscal year 2007 and expects that a significant portion of its future revenue will be derived from this customer; (v) a significant downturn in the industries in which the Company participates could have an adverse effect on the demand for Company services; (vi) our sales are concentrated in a limited number of highly competitive industries, each with a limited number of customers; (vii) the prices of our products are subject to a downward pressure from customers and market pressure from competitors; (viii) the Company’s ability to curtail its costs and expenses for new manufacturing programs, commensurate with expected revenues; (ix) the Company’s ability to comply with covenants of its credit facility; (x) fluctuations in operating results due to, among other things, changes in customer demand for our product in our manufacturing costs and efficiencies of our operations; and (xi) a trend among our customers toward outsourcing manufacturing to foreign operations.
     The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
