Proposed Korean VC Investment

On December 18, 2009, the Company received an investment of 200 million Yen, or approximately $2.2 million at current exchange rates, from the Inter Asset Japan LBO No. 1 Fund. The Company has tentatively allocated $2.0 million of the investment to establish a venture capital fund in South Korea, and it expects to use the remaining $0.2 million for working capital purposes. The Company's $2.0 million will be part of a larger, Korean government-backed venture fund that is expected to raise approximately $30 million in its first round of financing by early 2010. TOZAI Holdings Inc. ("TOZAI"), a company traded on the Korean Kosdaq stock market under the symbol "037700" with successful experience in investing in high-technology ventures in Korea, is facilitating the Korean government licensing and funding.

The venture fund is expected to facilitate high-tech manufacturing of solar, LCD, and touch panels in Korea. This is the Company's first step toward strengthening its position in global technical, financial, energy, and commodity markets. TOZAI and the Company intend to partner to build a solid foundation that utilizes the low-cost, highly skilled technology base in Korea to capture emerging business opportunities worldwide.
