ITEM 1.01             ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT .

On March 20, 2007, our subsidiary, TP&T, entered into a new short-term credit facility ("Credit Facility") with Rabobank which replaced TP&T's existing Euro 650,000 short-term credit facility (dated April 2, 2004).  Under the terms of the Credit Facility, TP&T's line of credit increased from Euro 650,000 ($858,000) to Euro 1,100,000 ($1,451,780).  The Credit Facility, which has a variable interest rate of Bank prime plus 2.8% (currently 7.05%), will mature on December 31, 2009 and is secured by TP&T's accounts receivable and inventory.  At December 31, 2006, TP&T had utilized Euro 614,000 ($811,000) of its short-term credit facility at an interest rate of Bank prime plus 2% (7% at December 31, 2006).  The increase in TP&T's Credit Facility will be utilized for working capital.
