ITEM 9: REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On December 5, 2000, certain members of Registrant's management will
meet with institutional investors and will make a slide presentation. The slides
to be shown during the presentation are attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K.
The furnishing of this Exhibit is not intended to constitute a
representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the
information it contains includes material investor information that is not
otherwise publicly available. Statements in Exhibit 99 that are not strictly
historical are "forward looking" statements within the meaning of the safe
harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Investors are cautioned that
such statements are only predictions, and speak only as of December 5, 2000, the
date of the presentation. The Registrant does not assume any obligation to
update such information in the future. The Registrant's actual results in the
future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Registrant's
operations and business environment including, but not limited to: the impact of
increasing competition or deterioration of economic conditions in the
Registrant's markets; cutbacks in defense spending by the U.S. Government; the
outcome of litigation the Registrant is party to; unexpected increases in the
cost of raw materials, labor and other resources necessary to operate the
Registrant's business; the availability, amount, type and cost of financing for
the Registrant and any changes to that financing.
