The recently completed PATC facility, which was designed to develop and produce composite materials for the aircraft and space vehicle industries, contains approximately 52,000 square feet of manufacturing, laboratory and office space and cost approximately $15 million to construct and fully equip. The Company plans to expand its recently completed PATC facility in order to manufacture composite parts and assemblies for the aircraft and space vehicle industries. This expansion, which includes approximately 42,000 square feet of manufacturing, office and storage space, is expected to cost approximately $5 million and to be complete and operational by September of 2010. Upon completion of the PATC facility expansion, the Company's objective is for PATC to offer composite aircraft and space vehicle parts design and assembly services, in addition to "build-to-print" services.
