Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase an 86,000 square foot facility (the “Facility”) near our current administrative and manufacturing facilities in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The purchase price of the Facility is $5.1 million, which we will pay in cash. We intend to occupy approximately 30,000 square feet over the next four months as existing tenant leases expire. We expect the remainder of the Facility to become available over the next two years. We anticipate using the Facility for manufacturing and new product development activities as well as administrative offices. We expect to close on the purchase within the next 60 days.

The press release announcing the contract to purchase the Facility is appended hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
