Conrad Announce Contract Modification

April 18, 2006

Conrad Industries, Inc. has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Army Engineer District, Philadelphia for the issuance of a modification for $4.3m to increase the contract price of the contract entered into in September 2002 to design, construct, test and deliver four towboats. In addition, the agreement provides for time extensions to complete certain aspects of the contract. This agreement was reached to fully resolve and settle the claim filed by Conrad’s subsidiary, Orange Shipbuilding, in July 2005. The Corps has agreed to pay the settlement amount at the earliest possible date as funds become available. Conrad expects to receive the funds within the second quarter of 2006, although no assurances can be given.
