Item 5. Other Events.
The Company announced that it will restate its financial statements for year 2000 due to an error in accounting for the cost of an item of engine-related equipment sold during that year from its wholly-owned spare parts subsidiary, Willis Aeronautical Services, Inc. (“WASI”). WASI was sold in November 2000, and was accounted for as a discontinued operation in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The Company intends to file an amended Form 10-K for 2002, and an amended Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2003, as promptly as practicable.
