Has some legal problems:
The WPC Group is a party to various litigation matters
including
general liability claims covered by insurance. Claims that are
"pre-petition"
claims for Chapter 11 purposes will ultimately be handled in accordance with
the
terms of a confirmed Plan of Reorganization in Chapter 11 cases. In the
opinion
of management, litigation claims are not expected to have a material
adverse
effect on the WPC Group's results of operations or its ability to reorganize.
