The following documents, which have been filed by Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
1.
Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
2.
All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), since the end of the fiscal year covered by the audited financial statements described in (1) above.
3.
The description of the Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment, which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing such documents.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Certain matters with respect to the validity of the Registrant's Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan are being passed upon for the Registrant by Phillips Nizer LLP, New York, New York.  As of the date hereof, Harvey F. Milman, who is of counsel to Phillips Nizer LLP and served as the Registrant's assistant secretary for more than five years, and has been the Vice President-Chief Legal Officer since March 2005 and Secretary since May 2007, beneficially owns 24,400 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, including options to purchase 16,600 shares which are currently exercisable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a domestic corporation to indemnify any of its officers, directors, employees or agents against expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement which were actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action, suit or similar proceeding brought against them because of their status as officers, directors, employees or agents of the Registrant if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the subject conduct was unlawful.  If the claim was brought against any such person by or in the right of the Registrant, the Registrant may indemnify such person for such expenses if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, except no indemnity shall be paid if such person shall be adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct unless a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, nevertheless permits such indemnity (to all or part of such expenses) in view of all the circumstances.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant may indemnify its officers, directors, employees or agents to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  In addition, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit
.
The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its directors and executive officers (and the executive officers of its subsidiaries, Kinro, Inc. and Lippert Components, Inc.).  In doing so, the Registrant incorporated into contract its existing obligations for indemnification and advancement of indemnifiable expenses which currently are included in the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended By-laws, and as provided by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Management believes that it is in the best interests of the Registrant to make service to the Registrant more attractive to existing and prospective directors and executive officers by virtue of the security afforded by contract.
3
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
1.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(i)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(A)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(B)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
4
(C)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(A) and (1)(B) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed or furnished by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(ii)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(iii)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(iv)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
2.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
