The company is in the employee learning and development
business. Acquisitions allowing the company to expand into new markets have
been made. The balance sheet remains strong, the Company has a small amount
of shares outstanding and no long-term debt. Management holds a good size
of company shares. Here's the caveat: With unemployment rising and the economy
heading into recession this could be a challenging investment for the time
being, as the company has experienced negative impact from the general slowdown
of the economy and the current difficulties in unemployment . This remains
a solid little company. Following an old stock market adage, "Buy when
everyone else is selling and sell when everyone else is buying may pertain
to this company.

This is a 53-year-old company that's an infrastructure play
on roads, bridges and buildings. Infrastructure is high on the list of programs
President/Elect Obama wants to implement to kick start America's economy.
That spells well for this profitable micro cap company. There are under 5
million shares outstanding and the Company carries no long-term debt. This
looks to be a good investment not only for the new upcoming era but the longer
term as well. Shares currently sit at fire sale prices due to the overall
market melt down. The country has a crumbling infrastructure with 156,000
structurally deficient bridges and countless buildings. This Company looks
to profit from that.

of $6.8 million, up from last year's second-quarter revenues of $4.5 million..
Net earnings were $414 thousand or $0.13 per share vs last year's
second-quarter earnings of $123 thousand or $0.04 per share.
Firm order backlog sits at a record $25 million vs $13 million
a year ago.
The Company President. stated, "We are self funding a multi-year
expansion plan that will more than double the Company's manufacturing space
by the end of 2013."
Strong quarter and solid forward guidance.
This one's a buy.
