Fellow Shareholder:

I am pleased to report that Harvard has successfully obtained new financing in
one of the toughest credit markets in recent memory. Although other larger tier
one and tier 2 suppliers to the automakers have been unable to secure financing
in this environment, Harvard's management team succeeded. Management has worked
extremely hard to complete the financial and operational restructuring required
by recent trends in the economy and the auto industry in particular.

With our financing in place we are moving forward with our previously stated
business strategy of increasing sales to non-automotive industrial customers in
order to achieve a ratio of sales that is 60% automotive sales and 40%
industrial sales.

We look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We deeply
appreciate the confidence you have shown in us and be assured that we are
working hard to deliver value to our customers, employees and shareholders.



                                            Sincerely




                                            Roger G. Pollazzi
