     Employment Agreements. The Company is party to an employment agreement with O. Victor Edelbrock that expires on June 30, 2009, pursuant to which he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and President of Edelbrock Foundry Corp. The employment agreement provides for a base salary of $445,702 per year, with annual raises to be determined by the Compensation Committee, and an annual bonus to be determined each year in good faith by the Compensation Committee utilizing such factors as Mr. Edelbrock’s performance and the Company’s and Edelbrock Foundry Corp.’s financial performance. Upon termination of Mr. Edelbrock’s employment during this term of the employment agreement for any reason other than “cause,” death or voluntary termination, the Company will be obligated to make a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to Mr. Edelbrock’s then current annual base compensation plus an amount equal to the bonus paid for the year prior to such termination.

Pursuant to their employment agreements, Messrs. Thompson and Feles are entitled to annual base salaries of $313,310 and $170,310, respectively. Messrs. Thompson and Feles are also entitled to annual bonuses to be determined each year in the good faith discretion of the Compensation Committee or Board, utilizing such factors as such employee’s performance and the financial performance of the Company. The employment agreement of each of these executives also provides that, upon termination of employment during this term of the employment agreement for any reason other than “cause,” death or voluntary termination, Edelbrock is obligated to make a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to the executive’s then current annual salary, plus an amount equal to the bonus paid for the year prior to such termination.

     Director Compensation. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at, and activities relating to, meetings of the Board or any Board Committee plus $500 per diem. Employee directors are not compensated.

In connection with Mr. Edelbrock’s proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of the Company not already beneficially owned, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below, the Board of Directors formed a Special Committee to consider the offer, and determined that each member of the Special Committee should be compensated for his time and efforts with respect to the duties of serving on the Special Committee. The members of the Special Committee, Messrs. Hellmold, Pings and Herbst, will receive the following compensation for their service on the Special Committee regardless of whether any transaction is consummated: Mr. Hellmold, chairman of the Special Committee, will receive $40,000, and Dr. Pings and Mr. Herbst, members of the Special Committee,

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On April 12, 2004, the Company announced that O. Victor Edelbrock, the Company’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, had presented a proposal to the Company’s Board of Directors to acquire the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not already beneficially owned or controlled by Mr. Edelbrock. As mentioned above, following receipt of the proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee consisting of disinterested members of the Board to consider and negotiate the offer. The Special Committee retained its own legal and financial advisors with respect to such negotiations. On June 25, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with two corporations controlled by Mr. Edelbrock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the transaction is consummated, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Edelbrock not already owned by Mr. Edelbrock or certain family trusts for which he serves as trustee, will be converted into the right to receive $16.75 per share in cash without interest, with an aggregate cash transaction value of approximately $57.2 million. Additional information regarding the proposed transaction is set forth in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, when available, the Company’s definitive proxy statement.
