(Attach extra sheets if needed.) The Report on Form 10-Q of Raytech Corporation (the "registrant") for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005 cannot be filed timely and the reason for the untimely filing cannot be eliminated without incurring unreasonable effort and expense. The registrant is finalizing the purchase accounting for its acquisition on March 21, 2005 of a minority interest in Allomatic Products Company, a consolidated subsidiary of the registrant. These tasks will not be completed by the registrant until after the due date for the Report. The registrant expects to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005 within five calendar days after the prescribed due date of such Form 10-Q. PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification John B. Devlin 203 925-8021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? |X| Yes |_| No If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. It is currently anticipated that the registrant will report a net loss of $675 thousand, subject to the completion of the purchase accounting, for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2005, compared to net income of $1,352 thousand for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2004. The decrease in earnings is due to a decline in the performance of the Domestic OEM segment, primarily due to the increased price of steel, a key raw material, and the recognition of a $1.3 million product liability claim in the International segment. In addition, net results were unfavorably impacted by restructuring expense and increased SG&A expense resulting from preparation for the transfer of certain production from the facilities to be closed this year as part of the restructuring program. RAYTECH CORPORATION (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
