(1) On March 26, 2001, the Registrant announced that it was closing its
domestic production facility in Edinburg, Texas. The restructuring charge

facilities and equipment write-downs, and related legal charges.

(3) The Company closed its domestic cutting facility in Weslaco, Texas and
recorded a restructuring charge of $1.0 million, primarily related to
severance payments to associates. In addition, the Company revised its
