One of
our strengths is our management team. We have been together as a team for twenty years and
our CFO has been with us for eight years. We know our business. We have an excellent
reputation with our customer base and the railroads know Portec Rail products. We have the
ability to go in and get approval and test new products or modify products where sometimes
it is hard for newcomers to break-in and get things tested on the railroads. Our position
in the industry with our customers is a real strength. For a company our size, we have
operations now in Vancouver, Montreal and two places in the U.K. We have international
opportunities that a lot of companies our size would not have. We have a good record of
accomplishment. In the years when things were rough here, many companies in our industry
lost money. We came through that and were profitable through those couple of years. - John
