P.   BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On November 1, 2011, the Company purchased the assets of ALS Technologies, Inc., a small Arkansas manufacturer of less than lethal ammunition. Products include smoke and tear gas grenades, specialty impact munitions, diversionary devices and stun munitions, support accessories like launchers and gas masks, as well as training for the use of its products.  Sales for 2011, including the portion of the year prior to the purchase, were $8,046,000.  The products are sold primarily to law enforcement, corrections, and military.  The acquisition was immaterial to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.  The purchase price allocation included in the Company’s financial statements was finalized during 2012 upon the completion of a business valuation. During the second half of 2012, the Company began the process of relocating this operation to Perry, Florida, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2013.  The cost of the relocation is expected to be immaterial to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
