C. C. Vanderstar, Chairman and CEO of IAL commented: "We are pleased with the progress made in increasing our customer base and our improved operating performance, particularly in light of the unsettled economic conditions which currently prevail. Over the last several months, with the assistance of our financial advisor, The Seidler Companies, we have been exploring potential avenues to maximize shareholder value, including the possible sale of the Company. These efforts have not generated an offer or expression of interest that, in the opinion of IAL's Board of Directors, fairly values the Company. While we will continue our efforts to enhance shareholder value and remain open to reasonable offers, the Company's focus will be on continued improvement in our operating performance and increasing market share.
