ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

On February 24, 2006, we entered into a contract with the United States Army, whereby we agree to provide the Army with authorized stockage list supplies to service its Buffalo route clearance vehicle for the sum of up to $5 million.  The contract was issued by the Army’s Tank-automotive and Armaments Command in Warren, Michigan.

 

This report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  We  generally  use  words  such  as  “believe,”  “may,” “could,” “will,”  “intend,”  “expect,”  “anticipate,”  “plan,” and similar expressions to identify  forward-looking  statements.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report.  Although we believe  the  expectations  reflected  in  the  forward-looking  statements  are reasonable,  they  relate  only to events as of the date on which the statements are  made,  and  our  future  results,  levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations.  We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
