Item 5 - Other Events
On April 13, 1994, the Registrant announced that the
State Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
vacated a 1992 Superior Court judgement which had awarded Augat
Inc. compensatory damages of $14,140,000 in lost profits as the
result of unfair trade practices. Although the court let stand
its earlier decision that the conduct of defendants Aegis, Inc.
and Jeremy Scherer was a knowing violation of the state unfair
trade practices statute, the court held that the profits of
Isotronics, Inc., Augat's former subsidiary was limited to six
months, not twenty-seven, following the departure of three
employees. The Supreme Court sent the case to the Superior Court
and included in its opinion instructions about how to recalculate
the damage award. The award was not recorded in the company's
previously reported earnings. Enclosed as Exhibit 1 is a copy of
the news release covering the above item.
