A Geothermal system is an
ALTERNATIVE
FORM OF RENEWABLE ENERGY.
The Earth absorbs approximately 50% of all solar
energy and remains at nearly a constant
temperature  (50°-70°F) year round.
A ClimateMaster geothermal system uses an
underground sealed loop filled with water and a
geothermal heat pump to exchange energy
between the house or building and the earth.
In winter, water in the loop absorbs energy from
the earth and carries it to the geothermal heat
pump where it is converted (compressed) to a
higher temperature and sent as warm air into the
house or building.
In summer the system reverses, transferring heat
from the house or building into the earth.
Geothermal systems work year round in both
individual residences and large commercial
buildings, providing both conditioned air and
potable hot water.

. The FASB  issued FSP No. AUG AIR-1 which                          
mandates that, effective January 1, 2007, we adopt a
change in our method of accounting for Major  Maintenance projects from the accrue in   
advance method, which we have consistently used in our Chemical Business, to a preferred method.  The adoption of the provisions of the     
FSP is to be considered a change in accounting principle with retrospective application.  The retrospective application of the FSB resulted in 
increasing the operating income, net income and EBITDA $ 422,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
