The Company's primary facilities, which are leased except where otherwise indicated, are as follows:
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In March 1998 the Company filed suit against a bankrupt supplier and its lenders seeking monetary damages of $2.8 million plus interest for
breach of contract and warranty. In September 1998 the defendants denied the Company's allegations and counterclaimed alleging outstanding
amounts owed and damages totaling $12.2 million plus interest. In December 1999, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit and dismiss their
respective claims. After the payment of a cash settlement, the Company's fourth quarter results of operations were positively impacted ($3.0
million net of taxes) by the reversal of amounts previously reserved for in connection with this lawsuit.
The Company is a party to various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business, none of which, in management's opinion, is
anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, there were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders.
