(1)	Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among SL Industries, Inc., a New Jersey Corporation ("SL Industries"), Lakers Acquisition Corp. (the "Offeror"), a Minnesota corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SL Industries, and Ault Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), the Offeror has commenced an offer to purchase all of the shares of common stock, no par value ("Shares"), of the Company that are issued and outstanding for $2.90 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest. In connection with the Merger Agreement and for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated thereby, SL Industries entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2005 (the "Shareholders Agreement"), with certain of the Company's shareholders party thereto (collectively, the "Tendering Shareholders").

The Committed Shares represent approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company as of December 16, 2005. SL Industries hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Committed Shares, and this Form 3 shall not be construed as an admission that SL Industries, for any purpose, is beneficial owner of the Committed Shares.
