     On June 5, 2006, C&D announced in its quarterly conference call that at its
most recent board meeting management and the board determined it was appropriate
that C&D would not  continue  with a dividend  payment  at this time,  given its
focus to  preserve  cash for  investment  in the  business  in order to fund its
turnaround plans and debt repayment.
