AVALON HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2006

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Avalon Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively Avalon) and related notes included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted consistent with such rules
and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Avalons 2005 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Avalon as of June 30, 2006, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2. Basic Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each period, which was 3,803,331. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding and therefore diluted per share amounts
are equal to basic per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Note 3. Investment
Securities

Avalon held available-for-sale securities of $4,512,000 and $4,433,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively and are
included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption Short-term investments. As a result of the classification of these securities as available-for-sale, Avalon recognized unrealized gains, net of applicable income
taxes, of $5,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 and unrealized gains of $8,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2006, as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Avalon recognized unrealized gains, net of
applicable income taxes of $4,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2005 and unrealized losses of $5,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2005, as a component of comprehensive income (loss).

comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Avalon. Comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax effects, is as follows (in thousands):

Note 5. Discontinued Operations

Recognizing that the continuing losses incurred by the environmental remediation business would adversely impact Avalons future financial performance, in the fourth
quarter of 2003, management determined that it was in Avalons best interest to sell or discontinue the operation of the environmental remediation business. In January 2004, Avalon sold all of the fixed assets of the remediation business. As
part of the transaction, the purchaser assumed all of the remediation business obligations relating to ongoing projects. The remediation business retained all of its other liabilities and assets, including cash and accounts receivable. The
results of operations of the remediation business have been included in discontinued operations.

##### Table of Contents

In the fourth quarter of 2001, the remediation business recorded a pretax charge of $2.2 million to the provision for
losses on accounts receivable as a result of IT Group, Inc., and most of its subsidiaries, including IT Corporation (IT), having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 16, 2002. The
remediation business had performed services as a subcontractor to IT for which it had not received payment. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the remediation business purchased from IT, for a nominal amount, the receivable relating to the contract
under which it had performed services. The remediation business subsequently filed for binding arbitration under the provisions of the contract for payment of such receivable. On October 25, 2004, as a result of such arbitration, the
remediation business was awarded, after offsets for counterclaims, the net amount of $1.4 million, plus interest of $.1 million for its claim. Such amount was recorded as income in discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2004. The monies
were received in February 2005 and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under the caption Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities from discontinued operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, Avalon determined that the remediation business was no longer obligated to pay the remaining accounts payable associated with this project. Therefore, Avalon wrote off approximately $.4 million of
accounts payable and such amount is included in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

On July 15, 2004, Avalon completed the sale of DartAmericA, Inc. for a selling price of approximately $4.2 million. At the closing, BMC International, Inc. (BMC) delivered to Avalon $3 million in cash
and a secured promissory note of $1 million payable in 6 monthly installments of interest only and 54 equal monthly installments of $21,583 commencing February 15, 2005. The balance of the selling price, $.2 million, was based upon changes in
certain of DartAmericA, Inc.s balance sheet items from March 31, 2004 to June 30, 2004 and was paid in September 2004. On June 30, 2005, BMC paid Avalon the remaining balance of the promissory note which amounted to
approximately $.9 million and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under the caption Payments received on note for sale of facility for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

In January 2004, Avalon discontinued the operations of the engineering and consulting business because the business began to experience losses and Avalon believed that
the losses were likely to continue in the future. The results of these operations are included in discontinued operations.

Concurrent with the decision to
discontinue the technical environmental engineering and consulting business, Avalon decided to sell the building associated with the technical environmental services operations. As a result, the building was classified as held-for-sale and the
expenses related to the maintenance and operations of the building were included in discontinued operations. In October 2005, Avalon reached an agreement in principal with a third party to sell the building for $2.0 million. In December 2005, Avalon
and the third party signed an agreement for the sale of the building. Avalon completed the sale of the building in May, 2006 and received $1.8 million which represented the selling price less the costs to sell the building and is included in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under the caption Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Avalon incurred a loss of approximately $20,000 on the
sale of the building which is included in discontinued operations.

Note 6. Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, Avalon becomes involved in lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including those related to environmental matters. Some

of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against Avalon which, from time to time, may have an impact on its business
and financial condition. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, Avalon does not believe that any uninsured ultimate liabilities, fines or penalties resulting from such pending proceedings,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 7. Business Segment Information

In applying Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information, Avalon considered its operating and management structure and the types of information subject to regular review by its chief operating decision maker. On this basis, Avalons
reportable segments include waste management services and golf and related operations. Avalon accounts for intersegment net operating revenues as if the transactions were with third parties. The segment disclosures are presented on this basis for
all periods presented.

Avalons primary business segment, the waste management services segment, provides hazardous and nonhazardous waste disposal

Note 8. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This statement revises FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) focuses primarily on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards
(with limited exceptions). The provisions for this statement are effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, Avalon has not entered
into any share-based transactions for employee services and, as such, the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R had no impact on Avalons financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of AFB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 requires
retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is deemed impracticable. APB No. 20 Accounting Changes, previously required that voluntary changes in
accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. The statement is effective as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did
not have a material impact on Avalons consolidated financial statements.

Note 9. Subsequent Event

In July 2006, Avalon reached a verbal agreement with the Sharon Country Club located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, which is approximately 25 miles from the corporate
headquarters of Avalon, to acquire its assets for approximately $.9 million. The primary assets of the Sharon Country Club include the golf course and clubhouse. Subject to due diligence and Board approval, the purchase is expected to be completed
in the next two months.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following
discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the operations and financial condition of Avalon Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries. As used in this report, the term
Avalon means Avalon Holdings Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, taken as a whole, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Statements included in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward looking
statements. Avalon cautions readers that forward looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to Avalons future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs, and income, are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward looking statements, due to risks and factors identified herein and from time to time in Avalons reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the first six months of 2006, Avalon utilized cash provided from operations to fund capital expenditures and meet operating needs.

Avalons aggregate capital expenditures in 2006 are estimated to be in the range of $.5 million to $1.0 million. Such expenditures will principally relate to
building improvements, the purchase of golf equipment and the development of software for Avalons golf and restaurant operations. This estimate does not include any expenditures that might be made with respect to the Sharon Country Club
acquisition discussed below. During the first six months of 2006, capital expenditures for Avalon totaled approximately $.3 million which was principally related to building improvements and the development of software for Avalons golf and
restaurant operations.

Avalon entered into a long-term agreement with Squaw Creek Country Club to lease and operate its golf course and related
facilities. The lease, which commenced November 1, 2003, has an initial term of ten (10) years with four (4) consecutive ten (10) year renewal term options unilaterally exercisable by Avalon. Under the lease, Avalon is obligated
to pay $15,000 in annual rent and make leasehold improvements of $150,000 per year. Amounts expended by Avalon for leasehold improvements during a given year in excess of $150,000 will be carried forward and applied to future leasehold improvement
obligations. Avalon has made $6.3 million of leasehold improvements as of June 30, 2006. Based upon the amount of leasehold improvements already made and leasehold improvements anticipated to be made in the future, Avalon expects to exercise
all of its renewal options.

In July 2006, Avalon reached a verbal agreement with the Sharon Country Club located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, which is
approximately 25 miles from the corporate headquarters of Avalon, to acquire its assets for approximately $.9 million. The primary assets of the Sharon Country Club include the golf course and clubhouse. Subject to due diligence and Board approval
the purchase is expected to be completed within the next two months.

In May 2006, Avalon completed the sale of the building located in Export, Pennsylvania and received $1.8 million which
represented the selling price less the costs to sell the building. The building had been used by the technical environmental services operations which have been discontinued.

Working capital was $14.3 million at June 30, 2006 compared with $11.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to increased cash and cash equivalents as a result of receiving
approximately $1.8 million for the sale of the building in Export, Pennsylvania and increased accounts receivable of the waste management services and golf and related operations segments as a result of increased net operating revenues.

The increase in accounts payable of $.2 million at June 30, 2006 compared with December 31, 2005 is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of the
waste brokerage and management services operations as a result of the timing of payments to disposal facilities and transporters in the ordinary course of business.

The increase in other current liabilities and accrued expenses at June 30, 2006 compared with December 31, 2005 is primarily due to an increase in deferred revenues relating to membership dues of the golf
and related operations segment. Such deferred revenues increased from $1.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $1.3 million at June 30, 2006.

Management believes that anticipated cash provided from future operations, existing working capital, as well as Avalons ability to incur indebtedness, will be, for the foreseeable future, sufficient to meet operating requirements and
fund capital expenditure programs. Avalon does not currently have a credit facility.

Several private country clubs in the northeast Ohio area are
experiencing economic difficulties. Avalon believes some of these clubs may represent an attractive investment opportunity and is giving consideration to the possibility of acquiring one or more additional golf courses. Avalon will continue to
consider acquisitions that make economic sense. Such potential acquisitions could be financed by existing working capital, secured or unsecured debt, issuance of common stock, or issuance of a security with characteristics of both debt and equity,
any of which could impact liquidity in the future.

Results of Operations

Overall performance

Net operating revenues in the second quarter of 2006 increased to $9.2 million compared with
$8.7 million in the prior years second quarter. The increase is primarily the result of higher net operating revenues of the waste management services segment and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the net operating revenues of the golf and
related operations segment. Costs of operations increased to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $7.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in costs of operations is primarily due to higher net operating revenues of
the waste management services segment in which costs have a direct relationship to revenue. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of 2005. Avalon
recorded income from continuing operations of $.1 million or $.03 per share for the second quarter of 2006 compared with a loss from continuing operations of $.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 or a loss of $.02 per share.

##### Table of Contents

For the first six months of 2006, net operating revenues increased to $18.2 million compared with $16.2 million for the
first six months of 2005. The increase is primarily the result of higher net operating revenues of the waste management services segment and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the net operating revenues of the golf and related operations segment.
Costs of operations were $15.3 million for the first six months of 2006 compared with $13.6 million for the first six months of 2005. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in the costs of operations directly associated with higher net
operating revenues of the waste management services segment and the golf and related operations segment. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.1 million for the first six months of 2006 compared with $2.8 million
for the first six months of 2005. Avalon recorded income from continuing operations of $.1 million or $.03 per share for the first six months of 2006 compared with a loss from continuing operations of $33,000 or a loss of $.01 per share for the
prior year period.

Performance in the Second Quarter of 2006 compared with the Second Quarter of 2005

Segment performance

Segment performance should be read in conjunction
with Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net operating revenues of the waste management services segment increased to $7.6 million
in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $7.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase in net operating revenues is primarily the result of an increase in the level of waste brokerage and management services provided. Net
operating revenues of the captive landfill management operations increased slightly in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of the prior year. Income from continuing operations before taxes for the waste management services
segment was $.7 million in both the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, although average gross margins of the waste brokerage and management services operations were slightly lower in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of 2005.
Income from continuing operations of the captive landfill operations increased slightly in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of the prior year.

Net operating revenues of the golf and related operations were $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $1.6 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase in net operating revenues is
primarily due to an increase in the average number of members during the second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of 2005 and increased merchandise, food and beverage sales. The golf and related operations segment incurred a loss from
continuing operations before taxes of $71,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared with a loss from continuing operations before taxes of $116,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. The improvement is primarily due to increased net operating
revenues as described above and increased rental income, partially offset by increased depreciation expense and increased employee and operating costs associated with operating the Squaw Creek facilities in which the dining and banquet facilities
are located.

##### Table of Contents

Interest income

Interest income was $141,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $78,000 in the second quarter of 2005. The increase is primarily the result of higher average cash and cash equivalents invested during the second quarter of 2006
compared with the second quarter of the prior year and higher average investment rates.

General corporate expenses

General corporate expenses were $.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease is primarily the result of
a decrease in legal fees.

Net income

Avalon recorded
net income of $.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with a net loss of $.1 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Avalons overall effective tax rate, including the effect of state income tax provisions, was 0% in the
second quarter of 2006 and 2005. The income tax provision for the second quarter of 2006 and the deferred tax benefit for the second quarter of 2005 were offset by a change in the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is provided when it is
more likely than not that deferred tax assets relating to certain federal and state loss carryforwards will not be realized. The overall effective tax rate is different than statutory rates primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance.

Performance in the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of 2005

Segment performance

Segment performance should be read in conjunction
with Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net operating revenues of the waste management services segment increased to $15.6 million
in the first six months of 2006 compared with $13.9 million in the first six months of the prior year. The increase in net operating revenues is primarily the result of an increase in the level of waste brokerage and management services provided.
Net operating revenues of the captive landfill management operations increased slightly in the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of 2005. Income before taxes for the waste management services segment decreased to $1.4
million in the first six months of 2006 compared with $1.5 million in the first six months of the prior year. The first six months of 2005 included a decrease in the provision for losses on accounts receivable as a result of recoveries of
approximately $142,000 of accounts receivable from two customers which had previously filed bankruptcy. Excluding the decrease in the provision for losses on accounts receivable in the first six months of 2005, income from continuing operations
before taxes increased slightly in the first six months of 2006. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in the level of business of the waste brokerage and management operations, although average gross margins were slightly lower and
employee costs were higher during the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of the prior year. Income from continuing operations before taxes of the captive landfill operations increased slightly in the first six months of 2006
compared with the first six months of 2005 primarily as a result of increased net operating revenues.

##### Table of Contents

Net operating revenues of the golf and related operations segment were $2.6 million in the first six months of 2006
compared with $2.3 million in the first six months of the prior year. The golf courses, which are located in Warren, Ohio and Vienna, Ohio, were unavailable for play during the first three months of 2006 and 2005 due to adverse weather conditions.
The increase in net operating revenues is primarily due to an increase in the average number of members during the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of 2005 and increased merchandise, food and beverage sales. The golf and
related operations segment incurred a loss from continuing operations before taxes of $295,000 in the first six months of 2006 compared with a loss from continuing operations before taxes of $321,000 in the first six months of the prior year. The
decreased loss from continuing operations before taxes is primarily due to the increased net operating revenues as described above and increased rental income, partially offset by increased depreciation expense and increased employee and operating
costs associated with operating the Squaw Creek facilities in which the dining and banquet facilities are located.

Interest income

Interest income was $264,000 in the first six months of 2006 compared with $142,000 in the first six months of 2005. The increase is primarily the result of higher
average cash and cash equivalents invested during the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of the prior year and higher average investment rates.

General corporate expenses

General corporate expenses were $1.2 million in the first six months of 2006 compared
with $1.3 million in the first six months of 2005. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in legal fees in the first six months of 2006 compared with the first six months of 2005.

Net income

Avalon recorded net income of $.5 million in the first
six months of 2006 compared with net income of $37,000 in the first six months of the prior year. Avalons overall effective tax rate, including the effect of state income tax provisions, was 0% in both the first six months of 2006 and 2005.
The income tax provision for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 were offset by a change in the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets relating to certain federal and state
loss carryforwards will not be realized. The overall effective tax rate differs from statutory rates primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance.

Trends and Uncertainties

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, Avalon becomes involved in lawsuits, administrative proceedings
and governmental investigations, including those relating to environmental matters. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against Avalon which, from time to time, may have an impact on its business and
financial condition. Although the outcome of such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management assesses the probability of loss and accrues a liability as appropriate. Avalon does not believe that any uninsured
ultimate liabilities, fines or penalties resulting from such pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

The Board of Directors of Avalon has explored the possibility of delisting Avalons common stock by reducing the
number of shareholders of record below 300, thereby eliminating the requirements for compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the Act). Avalon believes compliance with the requirements of the Act could be very costly. However, as a result
of the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) decision to extend the compliance deadline under Section 404 of the Act (SOX 404) for small public companies and the ongoing review by the SEC of how to minimize the
costly impact of SOX 404 on small companies, the Board of Directors has decided not to pursue delisting at this time, but intends to review the situation again as future developments warrant.

The federal government and numerous state and local governmental bodies are continuing to consider legislation or regulations to either restrict or impede the disposal
and/or transportation of waste. A portion of Avalons waste brokerage and management services revenues is derived from the disposal and/or transportation of out-of-state waste. Any law or regulation restricting or impeding the transportation of
waste or the acceptance of out-of-state waste for disposal could have a negative effect on Avalon.

Avalons waste disposal brokerage and management
operations obtain and retain customers by providing services and identifying cost-efficient disposal options unique to a customers needs. Consolidation within the solid waste industry has resulted in reducing the number of disposal options
available to waste generators and may cause disposal pricing to increase. In addition, consolidation has had the effect of reducing the number of competitors offering disposal alternatives which may adversely impact the future financial performance
of Avalons waste disposal brokerage and management operations.

A significant portion of Avalons business is generated from waste brokerage and
management services provided to customers and is not subject to long-term contracts. In light of current economic, regulatory and competitive conditions, there can be no assurance that Avalons current customers will continue to transact
business with Avalon at historical levels. Failure by Avalon to retain its current customers or to replace lost business could adversely impact the future financial performance of Avalon.

Avalons captive landfill management business is dependent upon a single customer as its sole source of revenue. If the captive landfill management business is
unable to retain this customer, Avalons future financial performance could be adversely impacted.

Economic challenges throughout the industries
served by Avalon have resulted in payment defaults by customers. While Avalon continuously endeavors to limit customers credit risks, customer-specific financial downturns are not controllable by management. Significant customer payment defaults
would have a material adverse impact upon Avalons future financial performance.

The Avalon Golf and Country Club has two championship golf courses
and a clubhouse at both the Avalon Lakes and Squaw Creek facilities. In addition, the Squaw Creek facility has a swimming pool, tennis courts, a fitness center and dining and banquet facilities. The Avalon Golf and Country Club competes with many
public courses and country clubs in the area. Although the golf courses continue to be available to the general public, the primary source of revenues is derived from the members of the Avalon Golf and Country Club. Avalon believes that the
combination of the Squaw Creek and Avalon Lakes facilities will result in a significant increase in the number of members of the Avalon Golf and Country Club. Although Avalon has



17

##### Table of Contents

had an increase in the number of members of the Avalon Golf and Country Club, as of June 30, 2006, Avalon has not attained its membership goals. There
can be no assurance as to when such increased membership will be attained. Failure by Avalon to attain increased membership could adversely affect the future financial performance of Avalon.

Squaw Creek and Avalon Lakes currently hold liquor licenses for their respective facilities. If, for some reason, either of these facilities were to lose their liquor
license, the financial performance of the golf and related operations would be adversely affected.

Avalons operations are somewhat seasonal in
nature since a significant portion of those operations are primarily conducted in selected northeastern and midwestern states. Additionally, Avalons golf courses are located in Warren, Ohio and Vienna, Ohio and are significantly dependent upon
weather conditions during the golf season. As a result, Avalons financial performance is adversely affected by adverse weather conditions.

Management is currently evaluating Avalons strategic direction for the future. While there are no specific transactions under negotiation or pending at this time, other than the Sharon Country Club transaction discussed elsewhere in
this report, Avalon does not necessarily intend to limit itself in the future to lines of business which it has historically conducted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Avalon does not have significant exposure to changing
interest rates. A 10% change in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on Avalons income before taxes for the next fiscal year. Avalon currently has no debt outstanding and invests primarily in U.S. Treasury notes, short-term money
market funds and other short-term obligations. Avalon does not undertake any specific actions to cover its exposure to interest rate risk and Avalon is not a party to any interest rate risk management transactions.

Avalon does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Avalons management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors
that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.
