unanimously
      elected David A. Battat, 37, as President and Chief Operating Officer of the

      that position with Halkey-Roberts in addition to his new positions with the
      Company. Concurrent with his election, Mr. Battat's salary was increased by
      $21,500 for the 2007 calendar year, which brings his total base salary for
      2007
      to $186,500.  Mr. Battat will continue to participate in the Halkey-Roberts
      Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan, which provides Mr. Battat the
      opportunity to receive incentive compensation based on Halkey-Robert's
      attainment of certain financial goals during each calendar year.
Mr.
      Battat will also be entitled to such other employee benefits as are accorded
      to
      employees and officers of the Company.
Mr.
      Battat has been employed by Halkey-Roberts since February 2005 serving as
Vice
      President Business Development and General Counsel
until
      his election as President in January 2006. From 2002 through 2004, Mr. Battat
was
      engaged in the private practice of law. Mr. Battat, who is the son of Emile
      A.
      Battat, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, holds a Bachelor
      of
