FOR THE RECORD

1. On April 5,1978, District Judge William P. Gray held that Capitol Industries - EMI, Inc. had not violated the securities laws of the United States and that the Minority Stockholders on whose behalf the suit was brought would take nothing.

2. On June 16 , 1980, the judgment that the Minority Stockholders repre- sented by Rocco Catena would take nothing was affirmed in a unanimous decision by three Judges of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The scurrilous charges made against Capitol by the plaintiff under the protection of court pleadings and repeated in this and other trade publications have proved to be false and without foundation. All four Judges who considered the charges found them lacking in merit. Capitol's uncompromising integrity has been proved. Capitol's dedication to the highest ethical standards was vindicated.
