NOTE K – CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and claims

On August 9, 2013, separate lawsuits styled as class actions were filed in Georgia and Delaware against the Company, its directors, Juniper Investment Company, LLC, and Juniper Acquisition Corporation. Both lawsuits allege that the Company’s Board of Directors breached its fiduciary responsibilities in connection with the merger agreement between the Company and Juniper Acquisition Corporation (see Note L), and that the acquisition price of $2.20 per share in cash is unfair to shareholders. The lawsuits seek to enjoin taking steps to proceed with the proposed merger, and seek other equitable relief and unspecified monetary damages. The Company believes these allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. However, at the present time we are unable to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Additionally, from time to time we may be a party to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, none of which, in our view, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
