Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
------------------------
We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 14, 2003 and
issued a corresponding news release on October 15, 2003, in which
we disclosed that we have entered into an amendment and waiver agreement
whereby our senior secured lenders have waived a violation of the maximum
leverage ratio covenant contained in our credit facility for the third
quarter of fiscal 2003. We issued a second news release on October 15,
2003, in which we provided comments in response to questions proffered by
investors in response to disclosure of the covenant shortfall.
The news release correctly reported that the engineered products
division's sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were $6.8 million,
but incorrectly stated that sales were down 10.7 million or 40% in compar-
ison to the third quarter of fiscal 2002. In fact, the $6.8 million in
sales is down $3.5 million or 34% from the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
The text of the corrected news release is filed as Exhibit 99 to this
report.
