SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13D

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

a.)
This statement is being filed jointly by Carl W. Dinger III, Jeff Dinger and Carl Dinger Jr. individually and Carl Dinger and Jeff Dinger as trustees for the four trusts.

d.)
No reporting person in the group has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

e.)
None of the reporting persons in this group has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

f.)

ITEM 3.  SOURCE OF FUNDS

The source of funds of each of the filer are personal funds in several accounts, and borrowings from investment brokerage accounts supported by several equity holdings. The four irrevocable trusts and the partnership have no such borrowings.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
 
The reporting group has purchased the shares for investment purposes and may buy or sell shares at anytime. The group believes that the recent merger of Transpro and Modine’s aftermarket business will result in significant cost savings and that such savings combined with a more conservative capital structure will drive a higher stock valuation. The Dinger group believes management has successfully implemented much of the cost savings that will drive future profit growth despite higher commodity input costs. The group reserves the right to take extraordinary action should execution become an issue in the future.
