Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 1, 2007, the registrant executed a First Amendment to its Master Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Home Federal Savings Bank of Rochester, Minnesota.  The purpose of this amendment was to increase the funds available to the registrant for risk management purposes.  This amendment increased the registrant’s line of credit from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.  The amendment reduced the registrant’s restricted cash account balance requirement with Home Federal Savings Bank from $4,000,000 to $2,000,000.  Further, after we pay the retainage to Fagen, Inc. required by our expansion design-build agreement, we can maintain a $0 balance in the restricted cash account so long as we maintain a tangible net worth of at least 60% of our total assets.  Should we fall below this 60% threshold, we will be required to deposit, on a quarterly basis, 25% of our net income into the restricted cash account until we reach the 60% threshold.  The amendment requires the registrant to pay an annual lender fee of $25,000.  The incremental decrease in the available funds under the original line of credit has been eliminated in the amended line of credit.  The line of credit terminates on August 1, 2017.

Along with the First Amendment to the Master Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the registrant executed an amended mortgage and security agreement as well as an amended promissory note.
