Inc.s, common equity is publicly traded.



**The Brickman Group, Ltd. is
not currently required by law to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because at the beginning of its current fiscal year its 11.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 were held of
record by less than 300 persons. The Brickman Group, Ltd. is therefore not currently an issuer for purposes of Section 2(a)(7) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Brickman Group, Ltd. voluntarily files quarterly and annual
reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the indenture governing its senior subordinated notes.

1. Business:



The Brickman Group, Ltd. (the Company) performs landscape maintenance, landscape
construction and enhancement, and snow removal services for commercial customers in major metropolitan areas in 25 states throughout the United States. Landscape maintenance services are generally provided under cancelable contracts ranging from 1
to 8 years in length. The Company provides these services to a diverse set of customers with one or more sites, including regional and national commercial, retail, and industrial property owners, corporations, residential communities, schools and
universities, hotels, hospitals, and municipal facilities. Services include grass mowing, planting and maintaining flower beds, tree and shrub pruning, bed edging, controlling weed and pests, fertilizing, installing and maintaining irrigation
systems, planting of grass, groundcovers, shrubs and trees, grading, and removing snow and ice.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:



Basis of Presentation:



The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial statements and on the same basis of presentation as the Companys annual financial
statements. Accordingly, they do not include all information required by GAAP.



These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management, are unaudited, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys audited financial statements for the
period from January 1, 2002 to December 19, 2002, the period from December 20, 2002 to December 31, 2002, and the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Due to the seasonality of the Companys business, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the year. Business seasonality results in higher revenues during the second and third quarters as compared with the first and fourth quarters of the year, while the methods of accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation and amortization, are
not significantly impacted by business seasonality.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, valuation of operating supplies, self-insurance reserves, purchase
accounting estimates, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, realizability of deferred tax assets, and litigation based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual
results may differ from estimates.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements:



In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R), Shared-Based Payment Compensation (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) revised FASB Statement No. 123, Shared-Based Compensation (FAS 123) and requires companies to expense the fair value of
employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. The Company must adopt FAS 123(R) as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will use the modified
prospective method in which compensation expense for all unvested stock awards, measured by the grant-date fair value of the awards, will be charged to earnings prospectively over the remaining vesting period, based on the estimated number of awards
that are expected to vest. The Company believes that the impact of adoption will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:



In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement
No. 3 (SFAS No. 154). Previously, APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements required the inclusion of the cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize changes in accounting principle, including changes required by a new accounting pronouncement when the
pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior periods financial statements. The Company has made no changes in the accounting principles for which transition provisions were not prescribed, and
therefore does not anticipate that this pronouncement will affect the Companys financial statements.



3. Accounts Receivable:

As of September 30, 2005, there
was $3,000 outstanding on the revolving portion of the Companys senior credit facility that bears interest at 7.5%. The term loan portion of the senior credit facility was fixed on a 5.66% LIBOR contract maturing in December of 2005.



6. Stock-based Compensation:



The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for grants because the exercise price
of the options granted equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock on the dates of grants. Had the Company applied the fair market value based recognition and measurement provisions of FASB statement No. 123 to stock-based
compensation, net income would have decreased as follows:

Options granted in 2003 through 2005
have exercise prices of $1,000 to $1,650 per share, vest over 5 years, are exercisable through the periods ending between March 30, 2013 and June 15, 2015 and have weighted average remaining lives of between 7.49 years and 9.71 years.
Shares available for future grants under the Brickman Group Holdings, Inc. Option Plan amounted to 5,371 shares at December 31, 2003 and 3,270 shares at December 31, 2004. The Black-Scholes valuation model was used to establish the fair
value of the options. Risk free rates of 3.8%, 3.7% and 3.9% at the date of grant were assumed in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. No volatility factor was used in the valuation since Brickman Group Holdings, Inc. stock is not traded publicly. The
expected option term was assumed to be the vesting period of 5 years.

7. Related Party Transactions:



In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company made distributions to its parent company, Brickman Group Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), totaling
$7,555. These distributions consisted of a distribution used by Holdings to fund debt service totaling $5,863, distributions to fund redemptions of Holdings stock from terminated employees totaling $1,654 and reimbursement of $38 for Holdings
expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company made distributions to Holdings totaling $7,611. The distributions to Holdings consisted of a distribution of $5,000 in connection with a financing transaction in which Holdings
Common L Stock was redeemed and a dividend paid to Holdings Common A stockholders, a distribution used by Holdings to fund debt service totaling $1,779, and distributions to fund redemptions of Holdings stock from terminated employees
totaling $832.



In April 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of a Michigan landscaping company in a merger transaction for cash and shares of Holdings stock valued at $11,600 in the aggregate (see Acquisitions footnote 9). The principal selling shareholder of the Michigan landscaping company is a member
of the Brickman family, which holds a controlling interest in the Company.



The
Company loaned an executive $500 in connection with the executives relocation to the Companys corporate headquarters. The note is a non-interest bearing loan to be forgiven on an annual pro rata basis over the next ten years contingent
upon the executives continued employment with the Company. The loan is secured by the executives primary residence.



8. Commitments and Contingencies:



Risk Management: The Company carries general liability, vehicle liability, workers compensation, professional liability, directors and officers liability,
and employee health care insurance policies as well as umbrella liability insurance to cover claims over the liability limits contained in the primary policies.



The Companys insurance programs for workers compensation, vehicle liability, general liability and employee health care contain self-insured retention amounts.
Claims in excess of the self-insured retention amounts are insured at levels considered prudent by management. The Companys accrual for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims under these programs were $8,014 and $8,557 at
December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. While the ultimate outcome of these claims is dependent on future developments, in managements opinion, recorded accruals are adequate to cover these claims.



Other: There are no other significant commitments or contingencies as of September 30, 2005 that have not already been
disclosed.



9. Acquisitions:



In April 2005, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of a Michigan based
landscaping company in a merger transaction for cash and shares of the Companys parent, which were contributed by the parent for the transaction. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141 Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair market value of tangible assets acquired, contracts with an estimated duration of 1 to 14 years, and the remaining value was assigned to goodwill.
The allocation of goodwill was increased $1,283 as a result of purchase price adjustments in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The weighted average amortization period for the contracts acquired was 4.7 years and amortization
expense is anticipated to be $468 in 2005, $542 in 2006, $446 in 2007, $367 in 2008, $302 in 2009 and $1,175 thereafter.



The contracts were classified as intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Results of operations of the acquired business were included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004



Revenue.Revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 increased $11.6 million, or 11.3%, to $114.1 million from $102.5 million for the same period in 2004. Landscape maintenance revenue was the largest component accounting for 93.3% of total revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in landscape maintenance services revenue of $12.4 million or 13.2%, offset in part by a $0.8 million decrease in design build services revenue. The increase in maintenance
revenues was the result of new contract sales and acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, third quarter 2005 revenues increased $6.8 million or 6.6% from the third quarter 2004.



Gross profit.Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $2.2 million, or 6.0%, to
$38.7 million from $36.5 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from the increase in landscape maintenance activities described above. Gross margin (gross profit as a percent of revenue) of 33.9% for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 was down from 35.6% for the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of increases in fuel-related costs.



General and administrative expenses.General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $3.4 million,
or 20.4%, to $19.8 million from $16.4 million for the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in supervisory and administrative staff to support anticipated higher revenues. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue increased to 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 16.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2004, primarily as a result of general and administrative expenses increasing at a faster rate than revenue in the
three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.



Amortization expense. Amortization expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2005 by $0.6 million to $4.6 million from $5.2 million for the same period in 2004. Amortization expense
relates to the customer contracts and relationships intangible asset. Customer contracts and relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis over their useful lives of 1 to 14 years.



Income from operations.Income from operations decreased for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 by $0.5 million to $14.3 million from $14.8 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in fuel-related costs and general and administrative, described above, was principally responsible for the decrease.



Interest expense.Interest expense was unchanged at
$5.0 million for both periods. Average debt outstanding increased to $191.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $191.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. The weighted average rate of interest on borrowings increased to 10.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 from 10.4% for the same period in 2004.



Income taxes. An income tax provision was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2005 at an effective rate of 42%, as compared to an effective rate of 40% for the same period in 2004. This rate
differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state taxes.



Net income. Net income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2005 by $0.4 million to $5.4 million from $5.8 million for the same period in 2004.



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2005



Revenue. Revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $50.5 million, or 17.2%, to $343.2 million from $292.7 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was driven by a $36.6 million increase in landscape maintenance revenue, and a $15.5
million increase in snow removal revenue, offset in part by a $1.6 million decrease in design/build revenue. Landscape maintenance revenue was the largest component of revenues accounting for 81.3% of total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. The increase in maintenance revenues was the result of strong new maintenance sales and acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the second quarter of 2005. Excluding acquisitions, revenues for the first nine months of
2005 increased $39.5 million or 13.5% compared to the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in design/build revenue reflected lower revenue in this service offering which can fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of projects. The
increase in snow removal revenues was primarily the result of greater snowfall amounts in many of our markets in 2005 compared to 2004.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $11.5
million, or 12.3%, to $105.3 million from $93.7 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in gross profit was the result of the additional landscape maintenance and snow removal volume described above. Gross margin (gross profit as a percent
of revenue) decreased from 32.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 30.7% for the same period in 2005. The decrease was the result of an increase in fuel-related costs and a service mix with a greater percentage of revenue from
lower margin snow removal services in 2005 (12.9% of total revenue) as compared to 2004 (9.8% of total revenue).



General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $6.9 million
or 13.6% to $57.5 million from $50.6 million for the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in supervisory and administrative staff to support anticipated higher revenues. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue decreased to 16.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 17.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily as a result of revenue increasing at a faster rate than general and administrative expenses in the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. In 2004, general and administrative expenses included a one time charge to write-off $1.2 million in capitalized software licenses and development costs and system
specific hardware associated with the implementation of a new computer system that was discontinued in June 2004. Without the write-off general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have been 16.9%.



Amortization expense. Amortization expense decreased for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 by $1.9 million to $13.7 million from $15.6 million for the same period in 2004. Amortization expense relates to the customer contracts and relationships intangible asset. Customer contracts and relationships
have estimated useful lives of 1 to 14 years.



Income from
operations. Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $6.6 million to $34.1 million from $27.5 million for the same period in 2004. Additional gross profit from increased landscape maintenance and snow
removal revenue volume described above was principally responsible for the increase.



Interest expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $0.1 million to $15.0 million from $14.9 million for the same period in 2004. Average debt outstanding decreased to
$184.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $191.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of scheduled payments of bank debt during the period. The weighted average rate of interest on
borrowings increased to 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 10.3% for the same period in 2004.



Income taxes. An income tax provision was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 at an effective rate of 41.5%, which
approximates the expected effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2005. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state taxes.



Net income. Net income of $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 represented an increase of
$3.7 million from net income of $7.5 million in the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily a result of increased revenues.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



We have historically used internal cash flow from operations and borrowings under our existing credit facility to fund our operations, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, cash provided by operating activities was $25.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The increase is primarily attributed to higher
net income.



Our capital expenditure requirements are primarily
comprised of landscape equipment, trucks and trailers. Our capital expenditures were $21.9 million and $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is attributable to
new equipment necessary to support strong new sales, the expansion of a program started in 2003 to reduce the replacement cycle for lawn mowing equipment from five years to two years and the acquisition of an airplane for executive
travel.



In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net
cash used in financing activities was $9.0 million, consisting of draws on our revolver of $3.0 million offset by debt repayments of $4.4 million, and distributions to our parent company, Brickman Group Holdings, Inc., totaling $7.6 million. The
distributions to our parent company consisted of a distribution used by our parent company to fund debt service totaling $5.9 million, and distributions to

fund parent company stock redemptions from terminated employees totaling $1.7 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in
financing activities was $15.2 million, primarily consisting of debt repayments of $7.6 million, including a voluntary prepayment of $5.0 million, and distributions to our parent company totaling $7.6 million.



As of September 30, 2005, we had $3.0 million outstanding on the $30.0
million revolving portion of our senior credit facility and the term loan portion of our senior credit facility was fixed on a 5.66% LIBOR contract expiring in December of 2005. As of September 30, 2005, availability on the revolving credit
facility, after deducting outstanding letters of credit, was $20.4 million.



In April 2004, our parent company borrowed $45.0 million from a group of lenders. The loan initially had an interest rate of 5.5% over LIBOR, which was reduced based on our consolidated leverage ratio to 5.25% over
LIBOR in April 2005. The loan amortizes through November 2009. Our parent company is a holding company and as such will rely on our cash flow to service this obligation. Principal is due on the note as follows: $4.5 million in 2005, $5.5 million in
2006, $6.5 million in 2007, $7.5 million in 2008, and $19.0 million in 2009.



We believe that our internal cash flows and borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current and future financial
obligations for the next twelve months, including funding our operations, debt service and capital expenditures and making distributions to our parent company to enable it to meet its obligations under its loan described above. Our future operating
performance will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to pay our
obligations as they may mature, or to fund our liquidity needs, including making distributions to our parent company, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity
capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including our senior subordinated notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory
terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior subordinated notes and our senior credit facility, may limit our ability to pursue any of these alternatives.



Seasonality



Our landscape business is seasonal. Losses generally occur in the first quarter since, in many of our markets, although
there is very little landscape revenue to be recognized, fixed costs (e.g., management and supervisory salaries and benefits, rent, amortization, depreciation) continue.



Effect of Inflation



Inflation has generally not been a material factor affecting our business. Our general operating expenses, such as wages and salaries, employee benefits
and materials and facilities costs, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. During the three month period ended September 30, 2005, fuel price increases adversely affected our profitability. Fuel prices have fluctuated widely and have
generally increased in recent years, including sharper increases in the three month period ended September 30, 2005. These price increases affect the cost of operating trucks, mowers and other power equipment. The fuel price increases also have
an affect on cost of producing and shipping chemicals and materials used in our business. Typically, there is a delay in recovering increases in fuel prices through contract rate increases because most of our contracts renew annually or contain rate
adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index that are only made annually.



Critical Accounting Policies



Certain
of our accounting policies, as discussed below, require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate estimates and assumptions for calculating amounts to record in our financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported results of operations and our financial position. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our 2004 Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies,
however, are considered to be critical in that they are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations and their application requires managements most subjective judgment in making estimates about the
effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

##### Table of Contents

Goodwill: Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable
assets acquired in business combinations, is stated at cost. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized but tested for impairment no less frequently than annually. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value to fair
value using quoted market prices, a discounted cash flow model, or a combination of both.



Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets: In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment and certain identifiable intangible
assets with defined lives, may be impaired, we perform a recoverability evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable from the undiscounted cash flows related to the asset, an impairment loss is
recorded for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.



Net Service Revenues:We perform landscape maintenance, landscape construction and enhancement, and snow removal services. Revenue is recognized based upon the service provided and the contract terms.



Landscape maintenance:



We generally provide landscape maintenance services under
annual contracts. We recognize revenue for these services as follows: each month, we divide the actual labor, material, and subcontractor costs estimated incurred on each contract by the total labor, material, and subcontractor costs estimated to be
incurred to complete the contract. The resulting ratio is multiplied by the contract price and the difference between this product and the revenue previously recognized on the contract is recognized as revenue in the month. In the event estimated
total contract costs exceed total contract price, the estimated loss on the contract is accrued in the period in which the loss is identified.



Landscape construction and enhancement:



We generally provide landscape construction and enhancement services under contracts of less than one year. We recognize revenue for these
services as follows: each month, we divide the actual labor, material, and subcontractor costs incurred on each contract by the total labor, material, and subcontractor costs estimated to be incurred to complete the contract. The resulting ratio is
multiplied by the total contract price and the difference between this product and the revenue previously recognized on the contract is recognized as revenue in the month. In the event estimated total contract costs exceed total contract price, the
estimated loss on the contract is accrued in the period in which the loss is identified.



Snow Removal:



We generally provide snow removal services under time and material contracts. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which the services are performed.



The current asset, unbilled revenue, and the current liability, deferred revenue, result from differences between the timing
of billings and the recognition of service revenues on uncompleted contracts.



Risk Management: We carry general liability, vehicle liability, workers compensation, professional liability, directors and officers liability, and employee health care insurance policies as well as
umbrella liability insurance to cover claims over the liability limits contained in the primary policies.



Our insurance programs for general liability, vehicle liability, workers compensation and employee health care contain self-insured retention amounts.
Claims in excess of the self-insurance retention amounts are insured at levels considered reasonable by management. Our accrual for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims under these programs at December 31, 2004 and September 30,
2005 was $8.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. While the ultimate amount of these claims is dependent on future developments, in managements opinion recorded accruals are adequate to cover these claims.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements:



In December, 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123(R), Shared-Based Payment Compensation (FAS 123(R)). FAS 123(R) revised FASB Statement No. 123, Shared-Based Compensation (FAS 123) and requires companies to expense the fair value of employee
stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation. We must adopt FAS 123(R) as of the beginning of the first interim or annual

reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We will use the modified prospective method in which compensation expense for all unvested stock
awards, measured by the grant-date fair value of the awards, will be charged to earnings prospectively over the remaining vesting period, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. We believe that the impact of adoption will
be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.



In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS No. 154). Previously, APB No. 20,
Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements required the inclusion of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in net income of the period
of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize changes in accounting principle, including changes required by a new accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to
prior periods financial statements. We have made no changes in the accounting principles for which transition provisions were not prescribed, and therefore we do not anticipate that this pronouncement will affect our financial statements.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



As of September 30, 2005, there were no changes with regard to market risk that would require further quantitative or qualitative disclosure. For our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk,
refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 30, 2005.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



As
of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that,
as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when
required. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
