Comments from Management

Jack Ruff, Chief Executive Officer and President of Sunair Services stated, "Once again I am pleased with the changes we are making at Middleton and the positive impact those changes are having on our financial condition. As a result of our expectations to continue to produce positive operating cash flow higher than the previous year, we plan to reduce the company's leverage in the months ahead. Like many companies today, economic conditions are causing downward pressure on revenue; however we are able to produce higher earnings from a more efficient operation."
