The results of the Company's Packaging Division have continued to improve from those reported in fiscal 2006 and, despite a slight drop in sales volumes, gross margins almost doubled from a year earlier. This improvement is due to lower material and operating costs as the Company made good progress in improving its operating efficiency and containing its selling, general and administrative costs. With these improvements, earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes (EBITDA) increased to $1.2 million from $0.2 million a year earlier.

In its discontinued operations, the Company's Canadian pool subsidiary, which had been operating under creditor protection, received approval for its proposal to trade creditors and the compromise of the related liability resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $4.5 million. The Company also completed the sale of its interests in PXL and reported an after-tax gain of approximately $0.5 million on this sale. On March 9, 2007, the Company also completed the previously announced sale of its 76% interest in PSC, a polystyrene molder. During the first quarter, the Company wrote down the value of the PSC related assets to reflect the value that would be realized upon their disposal.

Given the sale of the Pool Division, PXL and PSC, the Company's $60 million operating facility, which was renewed in October 2005 with a two-bank syndicate for a term of three years, now exceeds the Company's financing requirements. The Company's lenders have agreed to the Company's request to reduce the operating facility to $18.5 million. The Company is in discussions with its lenders on revising other terms of this facility, including the revision of the maturity date of the facility and the composition of the lending syndicate.
