              Bag, LLC 
 |  |  
        | FIC purchased Mid-America
          Bag, a commodity plastics manufacturer, in July 1999 from its owner
          and founder. While recognizing a need to bring in fresh ideas and to
          strengthen management, FIC helped smooth the transition by continuing
          to employ several of the selling family members who wished to stay
          active in the business. FIC optimized the capital structure, improved
          operating efficiencies, instituted financial controls and focused sales
          efforts on its most profitable customers. In November 2002, FIC sold
          the company to a strategic buyer, CPI Plastics, a public company listed
          on the Toronto Stock Exchange. |
