(Full Name of Registrant)

______________________________________

                                     PART II
                             RULES 12B-25(B) AND (C)

     If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.) [X]

     (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
          could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[X]  (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
          Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion
          hereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day
          following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or
          transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form
          10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth
          calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

     (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)
          has been attached if applicable.

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-
K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could
not be filed within the prescribed time period.

          The registrant requires additional time to close its books as a result
     of migration to its new global enterprise resource planning computer
     system.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

          James S. Nicholson (517)       423-8427
          (Name)             (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
identify report(s). [X] Yes [ ] No

     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.

          The registrant expects its consolidated net losses from continuing
     operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 to be
     significantly smaller than its losses in the corresponding periods in 2005,
     mostly due to lower



     impairments and restructuring charges in 2006. In addition, net results
     will be income compared to a loss in the prior periods due to recognition
     of a gain on the sale of Little Giant Pump Company in April 2006. Because
     the registrant has not completed closing its books, it cannot provide a
     reasonable quantitative estimate of its results at this time.
