| |   | used to transmit digital, video and audio signals or low voltage
    current in a variety of wire products used in motor controls,
    local area networks, security systems, television or telephone
    connections and water sprinkler systems. Single end wire is
    generally the least expensive form of wire to produce due to its
    simple configuration.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|
| |  | Stranded Wire. Stranded wire is comprised of a number of
    single end wires twisted together in a specific geometric
    pattern that preserves each individual wires relative
    position for the length of the wire. Stranded wire, like single
    end wire, transmits digital, video and audio signals or low
    voltage current. However, stranded wire is more flexible and
    capable of connecting multiple terminals allowing greater
    application. Stranded wire is generally used in products that
    connect peripherals to the personal computer (PC),
    connect the internal components of the PC, and control HVAC,
    security and other functions inside buildings. In addition,
    stranded wire is used in antilock braking systems, airbag
    systems, utility power distribution and circuit breakers.
|
| |  | Bunched Wire. Bunched wire is formed by twisting a number
    of single end wires in a random pattern. Bunched wire allows
    increased flexibility while maintaining conductivity. This type
    of wire is the primary wire used in appliance wire harnesses. In
    addition, bunched wire is commonly used for transmission of
    electrical current in lighting fixture cords, extension cords
    and power cords for portable, power hand tools.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|
| |  | Cabled Wire and Braided Wire. Cabled wire and braided
    wire are combinations of single, bunched or stranded wire
    twisted together in various patterns and thickness. These wires
    transmit electrical current and are typically used in mining,
    mass transportation, automotive, utility power distribution, and
    other industrial applications.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | Shielding Wire. Shielding wire is comprised of varying
    numbers of single end wires that are wound together in parallel
    construction around a bobbin. Shielding wire does not transmit
    signals or voltage but rather shields the signal traveling
    through the core conductor from outside interference. This type
    of wire is primarily used in data communication applications,
    telecommunications equipment, cable television equipment and
    security systems.

| |  | Wire Drawing Process. Wire drawing is a multi-step
    process in which raw copper material,
    primarily5/16-inch
    copper rod, is drawn through a series of dies of decreasing
    diameter.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | Plating Process. After being drawn, our wire products may
    be plated through an electroplating process. We have the
    capability to plate copper wire with tin. Approximately 28% of
    our bare wire products are plated with tin. The plating process
    prevents the bare copper from oxidizing and also allows the wire
    to be soldered, which is an important quality in many electrical
    applications.                                                                                   
|
| |  | Bunching and Stranding Process. Bunching and stranding is
    the process of twisting together single strand wires to form a
    construction ranging from seven to over 200 strands. If the
    wire is bunched, the individual strands of wire are twisted
    together in a random pattern. Stranded wire is composed of a
    number of single end wires twisted together in a specific
    geometric pattern where each strands relative position is
    maintained throughout the length of the wire.
|
| |  | Cabling Process. Cabling is the process of twisting
    bunched wire to form a construction ranging from 49 to
    47,000 strands.

|(1) | The leases on our Camden, New York and Jordan, New York
    facilities have remaining terms of approximately 6 years.
    During 1997, we purchased the notes that were collateralized by
    the Camden and Jordan properties from an unrelated creditor. We
    negotiated a payment schedule with the lessor which allows the
    lessor to retain title to the property until the termination of
    the lease, at which time we will have the option to purchase the
    properties for a nominal purchase price.
|   
|(2) | The lease expires April 30, 2007.

|(3) | As of December 31, 2005, this facility was no longer being
    used in our operations but instead was being leased to
    Copperfield, LLC. On February 21, 2006, ownership of this
    property was transferred to Copperfield, LLC pursuant to the
    Asset Purchase Agreement.

|(1) | Debt obligations are exclusive of interest.

|(2) | Interest was estimated using the debt balance outstanding at
    December 31, 2005 and the interest rates in effect on
    December 31, 2005.
