NOTE D -- POTENTIAL LITIGATION
The United States Government has advised the Company that the Government is 
considering making a claim against the Company under the False Claims Act and 
the Lanham Act for conduct in connection with a $3.1 million contract to supply 
the Government with certain tubes which was completed in 1989.  The False 
Claims Act permits the Government to seek a civil penalty for each violation of 
not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000, plus three times its damages.  The 
Company believes it has not violated these statutes and is in the early stages 
of discussing the possibility of resolving the matter with the Government.  If 
such discussions are not satisfactorily concluded, the Company plans to 
vigorously defend itself against any litigation the Government may initiate.

The status of the Penache litigation remains as described in Note I of the 
Company's Annual Report.
