Attachment to Form 12B-25
Part IV (3)
Continuing cost overruns in the performance of two contracts, as reported in the
Company's prior 10-Q report, have adversely impacted the Company's margins and
will likely result in a loss for this quarter and for the year as a whole. The
amount of the loss must be analyzed in terms of the remaining work and remaining
sums due on one of these contracts and thus cannot be quantified at present.
