Like most stocks during the last year, the share price has been pummeled to ridiculous levels. At Wednesday's closing price of $3.80, the market cap is just $12.85 million. Not bad for a company with $217 million in sales the last fiscal year. In the last four quarters the company has earned $0.95 per share, despite the "housing meltdown". In the quarter ending August, 2008, they recorded record sales of $61 million.
