In the Industrial segment, sales of $64.8 million for the second quarter of 2009 were down 24.5% in actual dollars
(15.6% in constant currency) over last year due primarily to wind energy and automotive sub-markets. Industrial sales excluding
wind energy and automotive were down slightly for the quarter compared to second quarter 2008.
