Soft market conditions, among other factors, led the Company to decide to cease operations at its Ningbo facility in China. However, the Company’s development plans call for the building of a plant in southern China to produce enameled wire.

The Company adjourned the second phase of its meeting until a future date, tentatively set at August 9, 2006 including the shareholder voting on matters listed in its proxy statement for the meeting. The Company determined to adjourn the second phase of its meeting in order to eliminate certain concerns expressed by several shareholders regarding the sufficiency of the notice of the meeting. A further notice will be provided to shareholders in the near future.
