On July 11, 2011, the Company announced the purchase of certain assets of Waypoint Technologies, maker of Lake Master®, the premier brand of high definition electronic lake charts among anglers in the Northern United States, for approximately $4,000.  The purchase included Pro Map Technologies, the Lake Master® proprietary inland water survey techniques and bathymetric data processing technology and was funded with existing cash and credit facilities.  The Company believes the purchase, combined with the Company's existing marine electronics products, will present new and innovative opportunities to enhance the fishing experience.  The Waypoint Technologies purchase will be included in the Company's Marine Electronics segment. Valuation of the net assets acquired and the purchase price allocation will be completed within the next 12 months.
