Attachment A

Answer to Part III

The Report on Form 10-Q of Raytech Corporation (the "Company") for the fiscal
quarter ended October 2, 2005 cannot be filed timely and the reason for the
untimely filing cannot be eliminated without incurring unreasonable effort and
expense. The filing is being delayed because the Company has determined that the
Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended July 3, 2005 needs to be restated. The
restatement is not yet complete and will impact the Form 10-Q for the third
quarter ended October 2, 2005.

Raytech established a fresh start income tax reserve of $1.6 million in 2001
when it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This reserve was no longer necessary
as a result of a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service during the quarter
ended July 3, 2005. The financial statements of Raytech included in its Form
10-Q for the quarter ended July 3, 2005 reflected the elimination of this tax
reserve as a reduction in the provision for income taxes. Upon further
consideration by Raytech, the elimination of this tax reserve should have been
treated as a reduction of goodwill. As a result, the net loss for the 13 weeks
and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2005 will be $5.0 million or $0.12 per share and $3.3
million or $0.08 per share, respectively.

These tasks will not be completed by the Company until after the due date for
the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 2, 2005. The Company expects to file
its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2005 within five calendar
days after the prescribed due date of such Form 10-Q.

The Company believes a potential material weakness exists in the financial
reporting process because there was a misinterpretation of generally accepted
accounting principles related to the accounting for the tax reserves discussed
above.

Answer to Part IV (3)

The Company estimates a net loss for the thirteen-week period ended October 2,
2005 of approximately $5.0-$6.0 million or $0.12-$0.14 loss per basic and fully
diluted share compared to a net loss of $3.3 million or $0.08 per basic and
fully diluted share for the same period in the prior year. For the
thirty-nine-week period ended October 2, 2005 the Company estimates a net loss
of $8.3-$9.2 million or $0.20-$0.22 loss per basic and fully diluted share
compared to a net loss of $1.8 million or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted
share for the same period in the prior year.

Net sales for the thirteen-week period ended October 2, 2005 of $54.9 million
compares to $54.0 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of
$0.9 million or 1.8%. Net sales for the thirty-nine-week period ended October 2,
2005 of $178.9 million compares to $169.0 million for the same period in the
prior year, an increase of $9.9 million or 5.9%.

The decrease in earnings is primarily due to the continued poor performance of
the Domestic OEM segment, restructuring expenses recorded in 2005 and a $1.8
million impairment charge to write-down the carrying value of the related assets
to net realizable value for the exit of its steel stamping business.
