ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Since fiscal 1982, the Company has leased equipment from PRC Leasing,
Inc. ("PRC"), a corporation wholly-owned by Alfred J. Roach, Chairman of the
Board of Directors and a director of the Company. On July 18, 1991, as an
inducement to the Company's then bank lenders to restructure the Company's
long-term bank loan, among other things, the Company acquired certain equipment
from PRC and replaced its leases with PRC for other equipment with a new lease
with PRC. The equipment lease (as subsequently amended, the "Equipment Lease")
has a term expiring July 17, 1999 (subject to an automatic extension until July
17, 2001, unless terminated by either party upon at least ninety days written
notice prior to the scheduled renewal period) and provides for rentals at the
rate of $200,000 per year. The Company believes that the rentals charged by PRC
are comparable to the rentals which would have been charged by unrelated leasing
companies for similar equipment.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who
beneficially own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to timely file
initial statements of stock ownership and statements of changes of beneficial
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish copies of
those statements to the Company. Based solely on a review of the copies of the
statements furnished to the Company to date, or written representations that no
statements were required, the Company believes that all statements required to
be filed by such persons with respect to the Company's fiscal year ended June
26, 1998 were timely filed.
