North Atlantic Holding Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in
thousands, except where designated and per share data)

(unaudited)

1. Organization

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes thereto included in North Atlantic Holding Company, Inc.s (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companys customary accounting practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
fairly present the results of operations for the reported interim periods have been recorded and were of a normal and recurring nature. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition:The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs upon transfer of title and risk of loss to the customer.

Shipping Costs:The Company records shipping costs incurred as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping costs incurred were $1.1
million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Financial Instruments:The Company enters into
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on inventory purchase commitments. The Company accounts for its forward contracts under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company may hedge up to eighty percent of its anticipated purchases of inventory under the Bolloré, S.A. master
contract, denominated in Euros, over a forward period not to exceed twelve months. The Company may also, from time to time, hedge up to ninety percent of its non-inventory purchases in the denominated invoice currency. Forward contracts that qualify
as hedges are adjusted to their fair value through other comprehensive income as determined by market prices on the measurement date. As of March 31, 2006, the adjustment to record the increase in fair value relating to the forward contracts
amounted to approximately $294 and is recorded as an asset and other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on these contracts are transferred from other comprehensive income into net income as the related inventories are received. Changes in fair
value of any contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges are recognized in income currently.

Master Settlement
Agreement Escrow Account:Pursuant to the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA) entered into in November 1998 by most states (represented by their



6



---

attorneys general acting through the National Association of Attorneys General) and subsequent states statutes, a
cigarette manufacturer (which is defined to include a manufacturer of make-your-own cigarette tobacco) has the option of either becoming a signatory to the MSA or opening, funding, and maintaining an escrow account to have funds
available for certain potential tobacco-related liabilities, with sub-accounts on behalf of each settling state. The Company has chosen to open and fund an escrow account as its method of compliance. It is the Companys policy to record amounts
on deposit in the escrow account for prior years, as well as cash-on-hand to fund its projected deposit based on its monthly sales for the current year, as an Other non-current asset. Each years obligation is required to be deposited in the
escrow account by April 15 of the following year. During April 2006, approximately $3.3 million relating to 2005 sales was deposited. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded approximately $18.5 million and
$17.6 million, respectively, in Other assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, approximately $0.6 million relating to 2006 sales was recorded in Other assets.

Revision:During 2006, the Company revised the 2005 cash flow statement for the classification of stock compensation expense from financing activities to operating activities. This revision did not have a
material effect on the statement.

3. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 97% of the inventories. Leaf tobacco is presented in current assets in accordance with standard
industry practice, notwithstanding the fact that such tobaccos are carried longer than one year for the purpose of curing.

For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, inventory quantities for one segment were reduced from December 31, 2005. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at higher costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of
2006 purchases, the effect of which increased cost of goods sold and decreased net income by approximately $0.4 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

On February 9, 2004, North Atlantic Trading Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (NATC), consummated its general corporate reorganization in which the Company was

created and became the parent company of NATC. On February 17, 2004, NATC consummated the refinancing of its
existing debt and preferred stock and the Company issued senior discount notes in conjunction with the refinancing. The refinancing consisted principally of (1) the offering and sale of $200.0 million principal amount of 91/4% senior notes due 2012 by NATC (the New Senior Notes), (2) the entering into an amended and
restated loan agreement (the 2004 Credit Agreement) that provided a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility to NATC and (3) the concurrent offering and sale of $97.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of
121/4% senior discount notes due 2014 of the Company (the Senior Discount Notes). Both the New
Senior Notes and the Senior Discount Notes were offered pursuant to Rule l44A and Regulation S and subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Senior Discount Notes and New Senior Notes are as follows:



|                      |  |         |         |          |   |

|                      |  |         |         |          |   |        

During the fourth quarter of 2005, NATC purchased Senior Discount Notes of the Company with an accreted book value
of approximately $41.0 million (face value at maturity of approximately $54.1 million) for approximately $12.7 million in cash. The Company or NATC may, from time to time, continue to acquire and/or retire all or a portion of the Senior Discount
Notes and/or New Senior Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The Company is dependent on NATCs cash flows to service its debt. The amount of cash interest to be paid by the Company during the next five years is as follows: $0 in each of 2006, 2007 and March 1, 2008;
approximately $2,628 payable on September 1, 2008 and approximately $2,628 payable on each of March 1 and September 1 thereafter until maturity.

On June 16, 2005, NATC refinanced the 2004 Credit Agreement by entering into a Financing Agreement (the
Financing Agreement) with various financial institutions (Lenders) and Fortress Credit Corp., as agent for the Lenders (Agent). The Financing Agreement consists of a $30.0 million term loan facility and a $55.0
million revolving credit facility, and includes a letter of credit sublimit of $10.0 million (collectively, the Credit Facility). As of March 31, 2006, NATC had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility of $4.6
million. The Credit Facility, including the term loan, will mature on June 30, 2010, and does not provide for any amortization of the term loan prior to maturity. NATC will use the revolving credit facility for working capital requirements and
other general corporate purposes. Indebtedness under the Financing Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and each of NATCs current and future subsidiaries, and is secured by a first perfected lien on substantially all of the Companys
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries current and future assets and property. The collateral includes a pledge by the Company of its equity interest in NATC and a first priority lien on all equity interests and intercompany notes held by
NATC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Loans and advances under the Financing Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on either the prime rate or
LIBOR, at the Companys option, plus a specified margin ranging from 1.00% to 3.75% in case of prime rate indebtedness, and from 3.50% to 6.25% in the case of LIBOR indebtedness, based on the sum of NATCs secured indebtedness in relation
to its EBITDAR, as defined in the Financing Agreement. As of March 31, 2006, the interest rate on the term loan was 8.2%.

NATC paid the Lenders a
closing fee of $1.275 million and is required to pay the Agent a quarterly servicing fee in the amount of $25. Under the revolving credit facility, NATC is required to pay the Lenders an annual commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the
difference between $40.0 million and the average usage of the revolving credit facility, payable on a monthly basis. NATC is also required to pay the Lenders letter of credit fees equal to 4.00% per annum multiplied by the face amount of the
letters of credit issued under the Financing Agreement, payable on the date any such letter of credit is issued. In addition, NATC is required to pay the Agent the standard charges customarily charged by the institution issuing letters of credit
under the Financing Agreement in connection with the issuance, administration, amendment, payment or cancellation of any such letters of credit.

The
Financing Agreement requires NATC to meet a maximum leverage ratio and a test of minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, certain cash and non-cash charges, other income and expenses and restructuring charges
(EBITDAR). The Financing Agreement also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, distribution of dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers,
prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, capital expenditures, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In addition, the Financing Agreement requires that the Chief Executive Officer of NATC be reasonably
acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders during the term of the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2006, NATC was in compliance with all provisions of the Financing Agreement.

The Financing Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-acceleration, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness,
bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the Financing Agreement, and judgment defaults. Further, it is an event of default under the Financing Agreement if an event or development occurs that results in a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Financing Agreement), as determined by the Agent in its reasonable business judgment. If any events of default occur and are not cured within applicable grace periods or waived, the outstanding loans may be
accelerated and the Lenders commitments may be terminated. The occurrence of the bankruptcy and insolvency event of default will result in the automatic termination of commitments and acceleration of outstanding loans under the Financing
Agreement.

NATCs Credit Facility will require a $30.0 million payment on the term loan on June 30, 2010.

6. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company has determined that at
March 31, 2006, its ability to realize future benefits of certain net deferred tax assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes; therefore, a valuation
allowance continues to be recorded. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided relating to inventories and tax-deductible goodwill that is not amortized for financial reporting.

NATC has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its hourly employees. Benefits for the
hourly employees plan are based on a stated benefit per year of service, reduced by amounts earned in a previous plan.

NATC froze the defined
benefit retirement plan for the respective hourly employees of its three collective bargaining units and terminated its postretirement benefit plan for its salaried employees in 2004. NATC expects to contribute approximately $300 to its
postretirement plan in 2006 for the payment of benefits. Plan contributions and benefits have amounted to $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Based upon the above decision, management believes that any future contributions will not
be material.

8. Share Incentive Plans

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), using the modified prospective transition method. Under the method, stock-based
compensation expense will continue to be recognized using the fair-value based method for all awards granted. Compensation expense for unvested stock options and awards that were outstanding on December 31, 2005 will continue to be recognized
over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards as previously calculated under SFAS No. 123. The Company determined the fair value of these awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company has three share incentive plans covering certain key employees of NATC which provide for the granting of options to purchase common stock of
the Company and other stock related benefits. The North Atlantic Trading Company Inc. 1997 Share Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan), now relating to the Companys common stock, made available 61,856 shares (all of which have been
granted) to key employees of NATC based on the discretion of a committee appointed by the Board of Directors (the Administration Committee). The 1997 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of



10



---

benefits: (1) stock options, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options; (2) stock
appreciation rights; (3) stock awards, including restricted stock; (4) performance awards; and (5) stock units. The Administration Committee shall determine the treatment to be afforded to a participant in the event of termination of
employment for any reason including death, disability, or retirement. The 1997 Plan contains provisions for equitable adjustment of benefits in the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company.

In November 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the North Atlantic Trading Company, Inc. 2002 Share Incentive Plan (the 2002 Plan), now
relating to the Companys common stock. The 2002 Plan has terms that are substantially identical to the terms of the 1997 Plan. The Company has reserved 50,000 shares of common stock for benefits under the 2002 Plan. The 1997 Plan and the 2002
Plan contain a four year vesting period and expire ten years from the respective date of the plans. The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the 1997 Plan and 2002 Plan at any time, subject to the
rights of participants with respect to any outstanding benefits.

On February 8, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the North
Atlantic Holding Company, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) and approved a form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the Form Award Agreement) pursuant to which awards under the 2006 Plan may be granted to
employees. The Form Award Agreement requires, as a condition of the award, that any and all stock options (vested or otherwise) previously granted to these individuals will be immediately cancelled as of the date of the award. On March 15,
2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement pursuant to which awards under the 2006 Plan may be granted to non-employee directors (the Director Form Award Agreement). The 2006 Plan
provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, 175,503 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance as awards to employees, consultants and directors as compensation
for past or future services or the attainment of certain performance goals. The Board of Directors of the Company may provide that awards under the 2006 Plan shall become vested in installments over a period of time or may specify that the
attainment of certain performance measures will determine the degree of vesting, or a combination of both, as set forth in the applicable award agreements. In the occurrence of a change in control, the grantee shall be entitled to such consideration
in respect of the outstanding shares subject to the 2006 Plan on the same terms and conditions as that provided to all other stockholders of the Company. The 2006 Plan is scheduled to terminate on February 17, 2016, the day before the tenth
anniversary of its adoption by the Board. As of March 31, 2006, no awards had yet been granted under the 2006 Plan.

As of March 31, 2006, no benefits other than the stock options described below had been granted. The total number of
shares available for granting under the 1997 Plan, 2002 Plan and 2006 Plan is 61,856, 50,000 and 175,503, respectively. Stock option activity is summarized below:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised and vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
March 31, 2005 was $0 and $0, respectively.

At March 31, 2006, under the 1997 and 2002 plans, the outstanding stock options exercise price
for 61,856 options is $9.99 per share, all of which are exercisable. The outstanding stock options exercise price for 32,437 options is $62.00, 21,915 of which are exercisable with the remaining 10,522 becoming exercisable from 2006 through
2014. The weighted average of the remaining lives of the outstanding stock options is approximately 6.3 years for the options with the $9.99 exercise price and 6.0 years for the options with the $62.00 exercise price. The Company estimates that the
expected life of all stock options is five years from the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of the options was determined as the difference between the fair value of the common stock on the grant date and the present value of the
exercise price over the expected life of five years at a risk free interest rate of 6%, with no assumed dividend yield.

Of the stock options described
above, 47,986 include a provision under which the Company will reimburse the employee for the difference between their ordinary income tax liability and the liability computed using the capital gains rate in effect upon exercise of the options. The
effect of this provision is accounted for as a variable portion of the option plan.

The Company has recorded compensation expense related to the options
based on the provisions of SFAS No. 123R under which the fixed portion of such expense is determined as the fair value of the options on the date of grant and amortized over the vesting period. The variable portion of the compensation expense
is measured on each reporting date with the expense amount adjusted for changes in the fair value of the Companys stock on that date. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately ($15) and $30 in the Statements of Operations for
the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included within the 2006 compensation expense is $45 relating to forfeitures. The total compensation expense related to non-vested awards is expected to be approximately $100 which will
be recognized over the next two years.

10. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal that was previously stated in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.
In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement shall be effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, to eliminate the exception
for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the
entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The guidance is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections  A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements for changes in accounting principle,
unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective



13



---

application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a
change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will comply with the provisions of this statement for any accounting changes or error corrections that occur after December 31, 2005.

11. Contingencies

Litigation with Republic Tobacco

On July 15, 1998, North Atlantic Operating Company, Inc. (NAOC) and National Tobacco Company, L.P. (NTC), which are
subsidiaries of the Company, filed a complaint (the Kentucky Complaint) against Republic Tobacco, Inc. and its affiliates (Republic Tobacco) in Federal District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Republic Tobacco
imports and sells Roll-Your-Own (RYO) premium cigarette papers under the brand names JOB and TOP as well as other brand names. The Kentucky Complaint alleges, inter alia, that Republic Tobaccos use of exclusivity agreements,
rebates, incentive programs, buy-backs and other activities related to the sale of premium cigarette papers in the southeastern United States violate federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and that Republic Tobacco defaced and
directed others to deface NAOCs point of purchase vendor displays for premium cigarette papers by covering up the ZIG-ZAG brand name and advertising material with advertisements for Republic Tobaccos RYO cigarette paper
brands. The Kentucky Complaint alleges that these activities constitute unfair competition under federal and state laws.

On June 30, 1998, Republic
Tobacco filed a complaint against NATC, NAOC and NTC in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois (the Illinois Complaint) and served it on the Company after the institution of the Kentucky action. In the Illinois
Complaint, Republic Tobacco seeks declaratory relief with respect to NATCs claims. In addition, the Illinois Complaint alleges that certain actions taken by NATC to inform its customers of its claims against Republic Tobacco constitute
tortious interference with customer relationships, false advertising, violations of Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Fraud Acts, defamation and unfair competition. In addition, although not included in its original complaint but in its
amended complaint, Republic Tobacco alleged that NATC has unlawfully monopolized and attempted to monopolize the market on a national and regional basis for premium cigarette papers. Republic sought unspecified compensatory damages, injunctive
relief and attorneys fees and costs.

On October 20, 2000, Republic Tobacco filed a motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer the Kentucky Complaint to the
Illinois Court. On December 19, 2000, the Court denied Republic Tobaccos motion, holding that it was premature. The Court noted also that it had communicated with the Court in Illinois and that it had concluded that Republic Tobacco may
not be entitled to any preference on forum selection, which would ordinarily be given because it was first to file. The Kentucky complaint is still on file.

Prior to the completion of discovery, the Court dismissed Republic Tobaccos antitrust claims against NATC. After discovery was completed in 2001, both parties moved for summary judgment on the others claims. In April 2002, the
District Court for the Northern



14



---

District of Illinois decided the summary judgment motions by dismissing all claims of both NATC and Republic Tobacco and
its affiliates, except for Republic Tobaccos claim of defamation per se against NATC, on which it granted summary judgment on liability in favor of Republic Tobacco, and a Lanham Act false advertising claim, based on the same facts as the
defamation claim, for equitable relief. In February 2003, the District Court granted Republics motion for summary judgment on NATCs counterclaim that Republic tortiously interfered with NATCs business relationships and economic
advantage. The only claim that remained to be tried was Republics Lanham Act claim and damages on the defamation claim on which the Court previously ruled that Republic could only obtain equitable relief if successful.

On July 8, 2003, following a four-day trial, an Illinois jury returned a verdict in favor of Republic on the defamation claims of $8.4 million in general damages
and $10.2 million in punitive damages, for a total damage award of $18.6 million. NATC recorded an $18.8 million charge during the second quarter 2003 relating to this transaction. NATC filed post-trial motions for a new trial and, in the
alternative, for a reduction of the awards. On August 1, 2003, NATC posted a judgment bond in the amount of $18.8 million with the U.S. District Court. This was accomplished by obtaining a $19.0 million senior secured term loan pursuant to a
July 31, 2003 amendment to NATCs existing credit facility. On November 20, 2003, the court ruled that the awards were excessive and reduced the awards by approximately 60%, with the award of compensatory damages being reduced to
$3.36 million and the award of punitive damages being reduced to $4.08 million, for a total of $7.44 million. On December 18, 2003, Republic accepted these reduced awards. NATC reversed $11.16 million during the fourth quarter of 2003 due to
this court ruling.

On January 8, 2004, NATC appealed the final judgment, including the finding of liability in this case as well as the amount of the
award. On January 22, 2004, Republic filed a general notice of cross appeal and argued in its appellate briefs that the judgment should be affirmed and also asserted, in its cross-appeal, that the original judgment should be reinstated despite
its acceptance of the District Courts order reducing the judgment amount.

On September 1, 2004, the Court of Appeals issued its ruling
affirming the finding of liability against NATC for defamation, but reducing the amount of the damage award to $3.0 million. The Court of Appeals also affirmed the dismissal of NATCs antitrust claim against Republic and the dismissal of
Republics motion to re-instate the original jury award of $18.8 million. As a result of these rulings, in October 2004, NATC received approximately $4.5 million relating to the cash bond it had posted with the Court in 2003. This amount was
included in Other income during the third quarter of 2004.

NATC also applied to the Court of Appeals for an order awarding NATC approximately $1.0 million
for the difference in the expense of the original bond of $18.8 million and the subsequent reduced bond of $7.0 million and the lesser expense NATC would have incurred to bond the final $3.0 million judgment. On November 30, 2004, the Court of
Appeals ruled that the application for costs should be directed to the District Court. On December 17, 2004, NATC filed this motion with the District Court.

On August 3, 2005, the District Court issued its ruling and awarded NATC approximately $1.1 million. This amount is not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. On August 11, 2005, Republic Tobacco filed a
notice of appeal. No briefing schedule has been established. NATC and Republic are currently involved in mediation discussions.

On February 21, 2006, Top Tobacco, LP, an affiliate of Republic Tobacco, filed a complaint against North Atlantic
Operating Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, in Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging that the Companys use of the phrase Fresh-Top Canister on the side of its ZIG-ZAG CLASSIC AMERICAN
BLEND cigarette tobacco infringes, damages and violates Top Tobaccos TOP trademark for tobacco. Top Tobacco requests injunctive relief, and unquantified royalties and damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claim and believes
that it has strong defenses to the claims. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will prevail, and if the Company were to lose, there could be a material adverse event.

Litigation Related to Counterfeiting

Texas Infringing Products Litigation. In Bolloré, S.A. v.
Import Warehouse, Inc., Civ. No. 3-99-CV-1196-R (N.D. Texas), Bolloré, the Companys Licensor ofZIG-ZAG brand premium cigarette papers, obtained a sealed order allowing it to conduct a seizure of infringing
and counterfeit ZIG-ZAG products in the United States. On June 7, 1999, seizures of products occurred in Michigan and Texas. Subsequently, all named defendants have been enjoined from buying and selling such infringing or
counterfeit goods. Bolloré and the Company negotiated settlements with all defendants. These defendants included Import Warehouse, Ravi Bhatia, Tarek Makki and Adham Makki. Those settlements included a consent injunction against distribution
of infringing or counterfeit goods.

On May 18, 2001, NATC, in conjunction with Bolloré and law enforcement authorities conducted raids on the
businesses and homes of certain defendants previously enjoined (including Tarek Makki and Adham Makki) from selling infringing or counterfeit ZIG-ZAG brand products in the Bolloré S.A. v. Import Warehouse litigation.
Evidence was uncovered that showed that these defendants and certain other individuals were key participants in importing and distributing counterfeit ZIG-ZAGpremium cigarette papers. After a two day hearing in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Texas, on May 30, 2001, the Court held the previously enjoined defendants in contempt of court, and enjoined the additional new defendants, including Ali Makki, from selling infringing or counterfeit ZIG-ZAGpremium cigarette papers.

NATC entered into a settlement with the defendants, the principal terms of which included a cash payment, an agreed
permanent injunction, the withdrawal of the defendants appeal of the civil contempt order, an agreed judgment of $11.0 million from the civil contempt order and an agreement to forbear from enforcing that $11.0 million money judgment until
such time in the future that the defendants violate the terms of the permanent injunction. Two of the defendants, Tarek Makki and Adham Makki, also agreed to provide complete information concerning the counterfeiting conspiracy as well as
information on other parties engaged in the purchase and distribution of infringing ZIG-ZAGpremium cigarette papers.

On February 17, 2004,
NATC and Bolloré filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which had issued the original injunctions against the infringing defendants, seeking, with respect to respondents Adham Makki, Tarek Makki and Ali
Makki, to have the $11.0 million judgment released from the forbearance agreement and to have the named respondents held in contempt of court. The motion alleged that the three respondents had trafficked in counterfeit ZIG-ZAG
cigarette papers after the execution of the settlement, citing evidence that all three had been charged in the United States District



16



---

Court for the Eastern District of Michigan with criminal violations of the United States counterfeiting laws by
trafficking in counterfeit ZIG-ZAG cigarette papers, which trafficking occurred after the settlement agreement.

On April 13, 2004, the
Court entered an order (the Contempt 2 Order), finding Ali Makki, Tarek Makki, Adham Makki and their companies Best Price Wholesale (the Makki Defendants) and Harmony Brands LLC in civil contempt, freezing all of their
assets, releasing the July 12, 2002 Final Judgment of $11.0 million from the forbearance agreement as to the Makki Defendants, and again referring the matter to the United States Attorney for Criminal Prosecution. Subsequent to the entry of the
Contempt 2 Order, the Company settled with defendant Harmony Brands and its members for the amount of $750,000 and the entry of a permanent injunction. The Company is seeking to execute on the outstanding $11.0 million judgment against the remaining
Makki Defendants and those efforts are currently underway.

Pursuant to the U.S. Distribution Agreement and a related agreement between Bolloré and
NATC, any collections on the judgments issued in the Bolloré v. Import Warehouse case are to be divided evenly between Bolloré and the Company after the payment of all expenses.

On February 7, 2002, Bolloré, NAOC and NATC filed a motion with the District Court in the Texas action seeking to hold Ravi Bhatia and Import Warehouse Inc.
in contempt of court for violating the terms of the consent order and injunction entered against those defendants. NATC alleges that Mr. Bhatia and Import Warehouse sold counterfeit goods to at least three different companies over an extended
period of time. On June 27, 2003, the Court found Import Warehouse and Mr. Bhatia in contempt of court for violating an existing injunction barring those parties from distributing infringing ZIG-ZAGcigarette paper products. The
Court requested that NATC and Bolloré (the Companys co-plaintiff in the case) file a submission detailing the damages incurred. NATC and Bolloré filed their submission on July 25, 2003 which reported and requested damages of
$2.4 million.

On July 1, 2004, the Court issued an Order awarding approximately $2.5 million in damages to NATC for the damages incurred by the
Company as a result of the Import Warehouse Defendants civil contempt. On July 15, 2004, the Court entered a Final Judgment in that amount for which defendants Import Warehouse, Inc. and Ravi Bhatia are jointly and severally liable. After
NATC and Bolloré commenced collection proceedings, Import Warehouse paid the Company and Bolloré an amount equal to the entire judgment plus the expenses incurred in collection. Accordingly, approximately $1.2 million has been recorded
in Other income during the third quarter of 2004. The Import Warehouse Defendants filed a notice of appeal on July 24, 2004. No briefing schedule has been established.

On September 23, 2005, in Bolloré S.A. v. Beydoun, CV05-1679 S, NATC and Bolloré filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against certain
individuals and companies alleging that they had engaged in a conspiracy to manufacture and distribute counterfeit Zig-Zag cigarette papers in the United States. The complaint sought, among other things, an injunction and damages. The civil case
follows the conviction on federal criminal counterfeiting charges of one of the alleged participants in the conspiracy. Discovery has commenced.

Litigation Related to Alleged Personal Injury

West Virginia Complaints. Trial of the West Virginia complaints against the smokeless tobacco defendants has been postponed indefinitely, as described below. On October 6, 1998, NTC was served with a
summons and complaint on behalf of 65 individual plaintiffs in an action in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, entitled Kelly Allen, et al. v. Philip Morris Incorporated, et al. (Civil Action Nos. 98-C-240l). On
November 13, 1998, NTC was served with a second summons and complaint on behalf of 18 plaintiffs in an action in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, entitled Billie J. Akers, et al. v. Philip Morris Incorporated et al.
(Civil Action Nos. 98-C-2696 to 98-C-2713). The complaints are identical in most material respects. In the Allen case, the plaintiffs have specified the defendant companies for each of the 65 cases. NTC is named in only one action. One
Akers plaintiff alleged use of an NTC product, alleging lung cancer.

On September 14, 2000, NTC was served with a summons and complaint on
behalf of 539 separate plaintiffs filed in Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia, entitled Linda Adams, et al. v. Philip Morris Inc., et al. (Civil Action Nos. 00-C-373 to 00-C-911). Only one of these plaintiffs alleged use of a product
currently manufactured by NTC. The time period during which this plaintiff allegedly used the product has not yet been specified. Thus, it is not yet known whether NTC is a proper defendant in this case.

On September 19, 2000, NTC was served with a second summons and complaint on behalf of 561 separate plaintiffs filed in Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia,
entitled Ronald Accord, et al. v. Philip Morris Inc., et al. (Civil Action Nos. 00-C-923 to 00-C-1483). A total of five of these plaintiffs alleged use of a product currently manufactured by NTC. One of these plaintiffs does not specify the
time period during which the product was allegedly used. Another alleges use that covers, in part, a period when NTC did not manufacture the product. On motion by cigarette company defendants, this claim was dismissed on February 11, 2004, for
failure to follow the case management order. Of the remaining three, one alleges consumption of a competitors chewing tobacco from 1966 to 2000 and NTCs Beech-Nutchewing tobacco from 1998 to 2000; another alleges a twenty-four
year smoking history ending in 1995 and consumption of Beech-Nutchewing tobacco from 1990 to 1995; and the last alleges a thirty-five year smoking history ending in 2000, and consumption of NTCs Durango Icechewing tobacco from
1990 to 2000 (although Durango Icedid not come onto the market until 1999).

In November 2001, NTC was served with an additional four separate
summonses and complaints in actions filed in the Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia. The actions are entitled Donald Nice v. Philip Morris Incorporated, et al. (Civil Action No. 01-C-479), Korene S. Lantz v. Philip Morris
Incorporated, et al. (Civil Action No. 01-C-480), Ralph A. Prochaska, et al. v. Philip Morris, Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 01-C-481), and Franklin Scott, et al. v. Philip Morris, Inc., et al., (Civil Action
No. 01-C-482). On August 19, 2004, the Korene Lantz lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff against all defendants including NTC. The Donald Nice lawsuit was dismissed on July 18, 2005 against all defendants including NTC
for failure of the plaintiff to follow the case management order.

All of the West Virginia smokeless tobacco actions have been consolidated before the
West Virginia Mass Litigation Panel for discovery and trial of certain issues. Trial of these matters was planned in two phases. In the initial phase, a trial was to be held to determine whether tobacco products, including all forms of smokeless
tobacco, cigarettes, cigars and pipe and roll-your-own tobacco, can cause certain specified diseases or conditions. In the second



18



---

phase, individual plaintiffs would attempt to prove that they were in fact injured by tobacco products. Fact and expert
discovery in these cases has closed, however; in the cigarette cases the Court has allowed additional discovery.

The claims against NTC in the various
consolidated West Virginia actions include negligence, strict liability, fraud in differing forms, conspiracy, breach of warranty and violations of the West Virginia consumer protection and antitrust acts. The complaints in the West Virginia cases
request unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

The manufacturers of smokeless tobacco products (as well as the manufacturers of cigarettes) moved
to sever the claims against the smokeless tobacco manufacturer defendants from the claims against the cigarette manufacturer defendants. That motion was granted and the trial date on the smokeless tobacco claims has now been postponed indefinitely.

By opinion dated December 2, 2005, the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia completed its review of a certified question arising from the trial
courts initial trial plan that had been established to resolve claims against the cigarette manufacturer defendants. The Supreme Court of West Virginia determined that the United States Supreme Courts decision in State Farm Mutual
Automobile Insurance Company v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408 (2003), did not preclude a trial plan in which phase I of the plan would decide certain elements of liability and a punitive damages multiplier and Phase II would decide each plaintiffs
entitlement to compensatory damages and punitive damages based upon the multiplier determined in Phase I. The action has been remanded to the circuit court to fashion a new trial plan for the consolidated cases. On April 28, 2006, the trial
court entered an order reinstating the original trial plan, and set a trial date of March 19, 2007 for the trial of issues against the cigarette defendants only. The claims against the smokeless tobacco manufacturer defendants remain severed
and indefinitely stayed. While the Company intends to defend these cases vigorously should they ever go to trial, and believes it has strong defenses, no assurance can be given the Company would prevail. If the Company were not to prevail, the
result could be a material adverse event.

In addition to the above described legal proceedings, the Company is subject to other litigation in the ordinary
course of its business. The Company does not believe that any of these other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Other Employment Matters

The Company may, from time to time, have
claims from and make settlements with former officers or employees.

David I. Brunson, the former President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the
Company, resigned from the Company effective January 19, 2005, at which time his employment agreement with the Company (the Brunson Employment Agreement) was effectively terminated. Pursuant to the Brunson Employment Agreement, the
Company is required to make certain severance payments to Mr. Brunson, including $425, which was paid within ten business days after January 19, 2005, and an additional $425, which was paid in bi-weekly installments from January 20,
2005 through January 19, 2006. In addition, Mr. Brunson may become entitled to a bonus payment of up to $725 relating to synergies



19



---

achieved in the integration of the business of Stoker, Inc., which was acquired by the Company in 2003. Pursuant to the
Brunson Employment Agreement, after the last severance payment is made, Mr. Brunson will have an option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of his shares of Parent at their fair market value. The Company will not be obligated
to repurchase these shares if, upon or after the payment, it would be in default under any instrument, agreement or law by which it is bound; in this case, the repurchase may be deferred until it can be completed without such default. Similarly, the
Company has an option to repurchase Mr. Brunsons shares at their fair market value. In the event the Company and Mr. Brunson are unable to agree upon the fair market value of these shares, an independent investment banking firm will
be selected to determine such fair market value, in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Brunson Employment Agreement. If neither Mr. Brunson nor the Company exercise their respective options by the earliest of the fifth
anniversary of the termination of Mr. Brunsons employment or the date on which the Company refinances, or uses proceeds derived from refinancing, certain of its obligations, the Company will be required to repurchase
Mr. Brunsons shares on such date unless Mr. Brunson waives his right to require the Company to purchase his shares. Any liability is deemed, at this time, not to be material to the Companys Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. No amounts have been accrued related to potential amounts payable to Mr. Brunson associated with the Stoker restructuring bonus or the requirement to repurchase his stock. On January 23, 2006, Mr. Brunson filed a verified
complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Westchester, alleging breach of his employment agreement and related claims arising out of his resignation from employment with the Company. Mr. Brunson claims that he is
entitled to $1.5 million in unpaid severance pay and at least $1.2 million in unpaid incentive bonus compensation under his employment agreement. Alternatively, Mr. Brunson seeks payment of the alleged unpaid incentive bonus compensation under
differing, but related theories of recovery. Mr. Brunson also seeks payment of his attorneys fees. The Company vigorously disputes Mr. Brunsons allegations and responded to Mr. Brunsons complaint on March 31,
2006 by filing a motion to dismiss four of seven claims contained in Mr. Brunsons complaint on the grounds that they were duplicative or otherwise improper. The Court has not yet decided the Companys motion. Mr. Brunson and the
Company are currently engaged in discovery.

During the first quarter of 2005 and twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded
approximately $1.1 million relating to the resignation of Mr. Brunson. Any options or shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Brunson vested in full as of the date of such resignation.

On November 27, 2005, in Owens v. National Tobacco Company (Cal Super. Ct. Case No. BC343611), two former employees filed claims alleging racial and gender
discrimination against the Company following the Companys dismissal of those employees for poor performance. The Company believes it will prevail. If the Company were not to prevail, the result could be a material adverse event. Discovery has
commenced in this case.

Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is entitled to a fee based on improvement in the Companys financial
performance as measured against the Companys 2005 Business Plan, to be paid upon the termination of the engagement. One portion of the fee will be a specified percentage of the sustainable annualized EBITDAR improvement, as defined, and the
other portion of the fee will be an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in their reasonable judgment for significant and sustainable improvement in working capital investment and management, in each case as measured
against the Companys 2005 Business Plan. As of March 31, 2006, no related liability or expense has been recorded relating to financial performance improvements.

12. Segment Information

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related information, the Company has three reportable segments. The smokeless tobacco segment manufactures smokeless tobacco products which
are distributed primarily through wholesale and food distributors in the United States. The make-your-own segment imports and distributes premium cigarette papers, tobaccos and related products primarily through wholesale distributors in the United
States. The premium cigarette segment distributes contract manufactured cigarettes through wholesale distributors in the United States.

The accounting
policies of these segments are the same as those of the Company. Segment data includes a charge allocating corporate costs to the Smokeless Tobacco and Make-Your-Own segments based on their respective Net sales. Prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Other includes the assets of the Company not assigned to segments and Elimination includes the elimination of intercompany accounts between segments. The Company evaluates the performance of
its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating income.

The table below presents financial information about reported segments for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (in thousands):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company competes in three distinct markets: (1) the smokeless tobacco market; (2) the Make-Your-Own (MYO) cigarette market; and
(3) the premium manufactured cigarette market. The smokeless tobacco market includes the loose leaf chewing tobacco sector. The MYO cigarette market is comprised of the MYO premium cigarette papers sector and the MYO cigarette tobaccos and
related products sector. The Companys subsidiaries manufacture and market loose leaf chewing tobacco, import and distribute MYO premium cigarette papers, contract manufacture and market MYO cigarette tobaccos and related products, and contract
manufacture and market premium manufactured cigarettes. To date, the Companys premium manufactured cigarette segment continues in its development phase and net sales of this segment have not been significant.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 were $28.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 3.9% from the corresponding period of the prior year.

Net sales of the smokeless
tobacco segment for the current period increased $1.7 million or 17.2% from the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase is due principally to an increase in case sales coupled with price increases instituted during the second and third
quarters of 2005. The volume of the Companys brands increased 4.0%, driven by the expansion of certain chewing tobaccos within the smokeless segment, in net cases during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior year.

Net sales of the Companys MYO segment decreased $0.4 million or 2.6% in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year. Within
the MYO segment, premium cigarette paper sales decreased $0.6 million or 5.9%, due primarily to lower Canadian shipments in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year. The MYO cigarette tobaccos and related product sales increased $0.2
million or 3.0% in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year due primarily to price increases during January 2006. The aggregate case volume of the MYO segment in net cases decreased 9.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2006
as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to the Companys decision to withdraw its discount MYO tobaccos from the state of Michigan, lower Canadian paper shipments and greater competitive pricing activity in key MYO
opportunity geographies.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $15.4 million, an increase of $1.2
million or 8.2% from the corresponding period of the prior year.

Gross profit of the smokeless tobacco segment increased $1.8 million or 40.7% from the
corresponding period of the prior year. Gross margin for this segment increased to 55.3% of net sales for the current period from 46.1% in the corresponding period of the prior year due to an increase in case sales of higher margin products.

Gross profit of the MYO segment for the current period decreased $0.5 million or 6.1% in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year. The
gross margin of the MYO segment decreased to 53.1% of net sales for the current period in comparison to 55.1% for the corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease in gross margin was due principally to product mix resulting from decreased
sales of its premium cigarette papers within the Canadian market.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $10.1 million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 17.8% in comparison to the corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to $0.6 million relating to
restructuring cost, $0.9 million relating to expenses associated with manufactured premium cigarettes, reduction in legal / litigation expenses of $0.2 million, reduced professional and consulting fees of $0.1 million, $0.2

---

million relating to the reduction in freight charges, $0.2 million relating to the reduction in promotional items and all
other of $0.2 million partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses of $0.2 million. A portion of the $2.2 million decrease is due to timing differences between the comparison periods.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Financing Costs. Interest expense and amortization of financing costs decreased $0.7 million or 9.4% to $6.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease was due principally to lower average outstanding indebtedness due to the repurchase of the Senior Discount Notes.

Other Income (Expense). Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to an expense of $0.8 million during the
corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease in expense relates principally to recoveries relating to counterfeiting activity and lower litigation and related expenses also associated with the prosecution of counterfeiting activity.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense). The Company has determined that at March 31, 2006, its ability to realize future benefits of net deferred tax
assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Therefore, only deferred tax expense related to inventories and tax-deductible goodwill is being recorded in 2006,
similar to 2005. Tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, a valuation allowance continues to be recorded.

Net Income (Loss). Due to the factors described above, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.8 million compared to $6.7 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2006, working capital was $19.1 million compared to $19.5 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease was the result of decreased other current
assets of $1.4 million, decreased accounts receivable of $0.6 million, decreased inventory of $0.3 million, decreased accrued interest expense of $4.6 million, decreased accounts payable of $0.6 million, decreased accrued liabilities of $0.6 million
and decreased deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million offset by an increase in the revolving credit facility of $4.6 million and an increase in the cash balance of $0.6 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $3.7 million compared with $8.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The change was due primarily to the
reduction in net loss and the reduction in accounts payable partially offset by a decrease in other current assets, deferred financing costs and an increase in accrued liabilities. A major factor in negative operating cash flow is the semi-annual
interest payment of $9.25 million, relating to the New Senior Notes, made in March of 2006 and 2005.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, net
cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million compared with $0.7 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The change was due to the reduction in capital expenditures. The Company believes that its



23



---

capital expenditure requirements for 2006 will be approximately $2.53.0 million due to the purchasing of certain
manufacturing equipment and the continuing investment in data and related systems.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, net cash provided by
financing activities was $4.6 million compared with $7.4 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The change was due primarily to the reduction in borrowings relating to the revolving credit facilities as a result of improved operating
cash flow.

The Company expects to be able to fund its seasonal working capital expenditure requirements in 2006 through its operating cash flows and, if
needed, bank borrowings under the Financing Agreement. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had additional availability of $50.4 million under the revolving credit portion of its Financing Agreement.

Contractual Obligations

Certain contractual obligations are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 under the heading Contractual Obligations in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. As of March 31, 2006, there had been no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in such contractual obligations from December 31, 2005.

Forward-looking Statements

The Company cautions the reader that
certain statements in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section as well as elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including the risks discussed below and in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Companys actual future results, performance or achievement of results may differ materially from any such results, performance or achievement implied
by these statements. Among the factors that could affect the Companys actual results and could cause results to differ from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is the Companys ability to comply with
certain Financing Agreement financial covenants, its ability to implement its business strategy successfully, which may be dependent on business, financial, and other factors beyond the Companys control, including, among others, federal, state
and/or local regulations and taxes, competitive pressures, prevailing changes in consumer preferences, consumer acceptance of new product introductions and other marketing initiatives, market acceptance of the Companys current distribution
programs, access to sufficient quantities of raw material or inventory to meet any sudden increase in demand, disruption to historical wholesale ordering patterns, product liability litigation and any disruption in access to capital necessary to
achieve the Companys business strategy.

The Company cautions the reader not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition,
the Company does not have any intention or obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this document. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

There have not been any significant changes with respect to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from what was previously disclosed in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2006, and has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2006 because of the material weakness in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting discussed below under Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The Company has determined that, as of March 31, 2006, it has a deficiency
in internal controls over the valuation of deferred income tax assets. Specifically, the Company did not have adequate controls over the accounting for and the review and approval of income tax related financial statement accounts requiring a
significant degree of technical knowledge related to deferred tax assets and liabilities. As a result of the ineffective review, an error in the deferred tax valuation allowance was not detected prior to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated
financial statements. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Companys 2004 annual and first quarter 2005 consolidated financial statements. In addition this control deficiency could result in a misstatement to deferred tax
valuation allowance that could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Managements Remediation Plan

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company took remedial steps to eliminate this material weakness, including engaging the services of an independent public accounting firm, other than the
Companys auditors, with appropriate levels of income tax accounting knowledge and expertise to assist in the review of complex tax matters. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, the
Companys income tax provision and valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities was reviewed by the above mentioned firm. As of March 31, 2006, these remediation efforts, and the Companys evaluation of its internal
controls over the valuation of deferred income tax assets, are continuing.

Changes in Internal Control

There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that
occurred during the Companys fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
