1/27/2005

TECUMSEH, Mich. - Tecumseh Products Co., which makes compressors for refrigerators and parts for lawnmowers and snowblowers, said yesterday it will delay its financial report for 2004 by a week.

The earnings statement was to be released tomorrow, but now will be made available Feb. 3. The firm said the delay "does not relate to any unusual developments in our business or financial reporting," but is attributed to added procedures to assure financial accuracy under the federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
