The Reporting Persons have acquired the Shares of the Company because, in their opinion, such Shares are undervalued by the market at the present time. According to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1996 (the "June 10Q"), there are certain "fundamental issues that the company faces in improving financial performance: costs that are too high and insufficiently variable; and an inability to maximize profit margins throughout the business cycle. As a result, it must reengineer its business to reduce costs and make them as variable as possible. The company has begun that process, and it will involve every aspect of the company. Simultaneously, the company is addressing the complexity of marine industry market pricing and its impact on its margins. Going forward, all of the short- and long-term business plans will be keyed on maximizing profitability throughout the business cycle." In a press release dated July 31, 1996, the Company announced it would begin shipping the first engines equipped with its proprietary FICHT Fuel Injection technology and, Hank Bowman, the Company's chairman, president and chief executive officer, stated: "The FICHT engines are a key thrust in our strategy of building on our core competency in two-stroke engine technology to create value for shareholders, both in and outside our traditional marine market. We have high expectations for this new engine line." The Reporting Persons intend to closely monitor developments at the Company as it addresses these fundamental issues, reengineers its business, and brings to market engines with FICHT Fuel Injection technology. The Reporting Persons may discuss the Company from time to time with members of the management of the Company and their advisers, and may Page 13 communicate with other shareholders and interested parties concerning the Company. Depending on future developments, the plans of the Reporting Persons may change. The Reporting Persons may from time-to-time (i) acquire additional Shares (subject to availability at prices deemed favorable) in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or (ii) dispose of Shares at prices deemed favorable in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
