MCII received a follow on award for 30 and 60 kilowatt tactical quiet generators ("TQGs"). The TQGs are utilized by multiple branches of the U.S. military to supply a mobile source of electrical power to troops in the field during combat, training or peacekeeping operations. This award specifies a six- year term, and has an estimated value of $156,000,000. Additionally, the U.S. Navy has exercised options on existing contracts with NMP for power distribution equipment for two DDG-Class Destroyers. The value of this award is $5,300,000. With these contract awards, total backlog from existing contracts, orders and exercisable options currently stands at a total of $250,000,000. Registrant expects to recognize approximately $58,000,000 in revenues from the existing backlog of outstanding purchase orders in the next twelve months.

Although the Registrant believes such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that every objective will be reached.
