                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND SHARE DATA)

     (1) ORGANIZATION AND MERGER

     Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Aavid") is the leading
global provider of thermal management solutions for electronic products and the
leading developer and marketer of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software.

     On February 2, 2000, the Company was acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation newly formed by Willis Stein & Partners II, L.P. Pursuant to the
merger, Aavid stockholders received $25.50 in cash for each outstanding share of
common stock. In addition, all outstanding stock options and warrants were
cashed out. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method.

     The Merger and related transaction costs were funded by a cash contribution
from Heat Holdings and an affiliate of $152,000, proceeds of $148,312, net of
original issue discount, from the sale by the Company of 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes and warrants due 2007, $54,700 pursuant to a new credit
facility entered into by the Company, and approximately $4,653 of cash on hand.
Additionally, the Company used $7,085 of cash on hand to pay financing fees
associated with the senior credit facility and 12 3/4% senior subordinated
notes. Net assets on the date of acquisition were $156,560. Based upon fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill of $183,676 was
established. Approximately $113,705 of this goodwill is attributable to Aavid
Thermalloy, the hardware business, and will be amortized over 20 years. The
remainder, $69,971, is attributable to Fluent, the CFD software business, and
will be amortized over 4 years.

     Of the $152,000 cash contribution, $4,811 was invested by Heat Holdings II
Corp., an affiliate of Heat Holdings, to acquire 95% of the common equity of
Aavid Thermalloy, LLC, the thermal management hardware business. The Company
controls Aavid Thermalloy, LLC through a preferred equity interest and holds a
5% common equity interest and thus consolidates Aavid Thermalloy LLC in its
results within the accompanying financial statements. The investment by Heat
Holdings II Corp. has been recorded as minority interests within the
accompanying financial statements.

     On February 2, 2000, as part of the transactions relating to the Merger,
the Company issued 150,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of $150,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes")
and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 60 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 60 shares of
the Company's Class H Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Notes are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the
Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") (see note (11) for
selected consolidating financial statements of parent, guarantors and
non-guarantors). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the
"Indenture") among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee. $4,560 of the proceeds from the sale of the Units was
allocated to the fair value of the Warrants and $143,752 was allocated to the
Notes, net of original issue discount of $1,688. The total discount of $6,248 is
being accreted over the term of the notes, using the effective interest rate
method. This accretion is recorded as interest expense within the accompanying
statement of operations for the period February 2, 2000 to September 30, 2000
and for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2001.

     In connection with the Merger, the Company repaid all of the outstanding
term loan and revolving line of credit under its existing credit facility, which
aggregated approximately $88,200 at December 31, 1999, and entered into an
amended and restated credit facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit
Facility"). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for a $22,000
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") (of which $1,700 was drawn
at the closing of the Merger) and a $53,000 term loan facility (the "Term
Facility") (which was fully drawn at the closing of the Merger). Subject to
compliance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility,
borrowings under the Revolving Facility are available for working capital
purposes, capital expenditures and future acquisitions. The Revolving Facility
will terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be payable, on March
31, 2005. Principal on the Term Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly
installments commencing December 31, 2000 and ending March 31, 2005 as follows:
five installments of $2,000; four installments of $2,500; four installments of
$2,750; two installments of $3,200; two installments of $3,900; and a final
installment of $7,800. In addition, commencing with our fiscal year ending
December 31, 2001, the Company is required to apply 50% of excess cash flow, as
defined, to permanently reduce the Term Facility. The Amended and Restated
Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option,
either (1) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x) the interest rate in
the London interbank market for loans in an amount substantially equal to the
amount of borrowing and for the period of borrowing selected by Aavid and (y) a
margin of between 1.50% and 2.25% (depending on the Company's consolidated
leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility)) or (2)
the sum of the higher of (x) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's prime or base
rate or (y) one-half percent plus the latest overnight federal funds rate plus
(z) a margin of between .25% and 1.00% (depending on the Company's consolidated
leverage ratio). At September 29, 2001, the weighted average interest rate on
the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility was 5.67%.


                                       6
<PAGE>

    The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time in whole
or in part without penalty, and must be prepaid to the extent of certain equity
or asset sales. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility limits the Company's
ability to incur additional debt, to sell or dispose of assets, to create or
incur liens, to make additional acquisitions, to pay dividends, to purchase or
redeem its stock and to merge or consolidate with any other party. In addition,
the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the Company meet certain
financial ratios, and provides the lenders with the right to require the payment
of all amounts outstanding under the facility, and to terminate all commitments
thereunder, if there is a change in control of Aavid. The Amended and Restated
Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of Heat Holdings Corp. and Heat Holdings
II Corp., and all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and secured by the
Company's assets (including the assets and stock of its domestic subsidiaries
and a portion of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries).

     The Company incurred approximately $7,085 in underwriting, legal and other
professional fees in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
establishment of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. These costs, in
addition to the $1,624 of unamortized costs associated with the original Credit
Facility, have been capitalized as deferred financing fees and are being
amortized over the respective terms of the related debt. This amortization is
recorded in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations from
February 2, 2000 to September 30, 2000 and for the quarter and nine months ended
September 29, 2001.

     At December 31, 2000 the Company was not in compliance with the leverage
ratio covenant required by the amended and restated credit facility and the
Indenture under which the Notes were issued. As a result, the Company's
stockholders were required to make an equity contribution, up to $25,000, to
allow the Company to reduce debt to achieve a 4.5 to 1 leverage ratio based on
total leverage at December 31, 2000. On May 4, 2001 certain of the Company's
stockholders and their affiliates made an equity contribution of $8,000 in cash
and $26,191 in principal amount of senior subordinated notes in full
satisfaction of this obligation. In addition, the Company and the lenders
amended the facility to provide that the last three required quarterly principal
payments in 2001 under the facility will be prepaid with $6,000 of the proceeds
of the equity contribution, and the four required principal payments in 2002
will be reduced by $500 each, reflecting application of the remaining cash
equity contribution. Further, certain covenant ratios and ratio definitions were
amended and the available line of credit was reduced to $17,000 from $22,000.
Based on the equity contribution, the Company's event of non-compliance with the
leverage ratio at December 31, 2000 was cured.

     As part of the equity contribution discussed above, Heat Holdings
contributed to Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. an aggregate of $8,000 in cash
and $26,191 in principal amount of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc.'s 12 -3/4%
senior subordinated notes due 2007 in exchange for: (a) a warrant to purchase
2,224,472.5 Series B Preferred Units of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC held beneficially
and of record by Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. and (b) 78.871 shares of Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc. Class A Common Stock and 78.871 shares of Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc. Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. The
portion of the equity contribution related to the warrants has been recorded in
additional paid in capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 29,
2001. The Company recognized a gain on the retirement of senior subordinated
notes of $4,979, which is recorded as an extraordinary gain on extinguishment of
debt in the accompanying statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 29, 2001.

     As of September 29, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial covenants under the amended and restated credit facility. The Company
has notified its lenders concerning the noncompliance. The resulting event of
default has not been waived by the Company's lenders, accordingly, the lenders
could demand full payment of all amounts outstanding under the amended and
restated credit facility. As a result of the event of default, the Company
classified $17,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $41,000
outstanding under the term facility as current within the accompanying balance
sheet. The Company and its lenders are currently in negotiations to address this
issue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing
an amended or alternative financing arrangement. The Company has sufficient
cash to meet its scheduled obligations through the end of this year. The Company
may require additional funds to meet its scheduled interest payment due in the
first quarter of 2002 under the 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture.
The Company is exploring various alternatives to provide the liquidity to make
the payment.

     (6) IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     In connection with the Merger, the Company allocated $15,000 of the
purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This allocation
represented the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related
to the incomplete software research and development projects of Fluent, Inc. At
the date of the merger, the development of these projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility and the research and development in progress had no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the merger
date.

     The Company allocated values to the in-process research and development
based on an in-depth assessment of the R&D projects. The value assigned to these
assets was limited to significant research projects for which technological
feasibility had not been established, including development, engineering and
testing activities associated with the introduction of the acquired in-process
technologies.

     The value assigned to purchased in-process technology was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the acquired technology into commercially viable
products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects, and
discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue projection
used to value the in-process research and development was based on historical
results, estimates of relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends
in technology, and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions
by the Company and its competitors. The resulting net cash flows from such
projects are based on management's estimates of cost of sales, operating
expenses, and income taxes from such projects.

     (7) NON-RECURRING CHARGES AND RESTRUCTURING RESERVES

     Approximately $2,130 of restructuring charges have been recorded in
connection with the Company's October 1999 acquisition of Thermalloy, the
thermal management business of Bowthorpe plc. The restructuring plan includes
initiatives to integrate the operations of the Company and Thermalloy and reduce
overhead. The primary components of these plans relate to (a) the closure of
duplicative Thermalloy operations in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, (b) the
elimination of duplicative selling, general and administration functions of
Thermalloy on a global basis and (c) the termination of certain contractual
obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2000, 136 individuals were
terminated. The following amounts have been charged against the Thermalloy
restructuring reserves during the quarter ended September 29, 2001:

     (8)  ASSET IMPAIRMENT

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
established accounting standards related to the impairment of long-lived assets,
such as property, plant, equipment and intangibles. This statement requires that
long-lived assets, including intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or circumstances, such as a change in market value, indicate that the
asset carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability, if future undiscounted cashflows (without interest charges) from
the use and ultimate dispositions of assets are less than its carrying value, an
impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are measured based on the fair
value of the asset.

     Due to the current economic situation within the electronics and
semi-conductor market place, Aavid's hardware business has experienced a
reduction in revenues and profitability. These poor economic conditions indicate
that the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable.
The Company is currently in the process of developing its business plan for 2002
and beyond. As part of the planning process, the Company will review its
long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for the
existence of any potential impairment. The Company expects to have its business
plan, including the review of long-lived assets, completed prior to the end of
the fourth quarter of 2001.

     (9)  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June, 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement
requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or
liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in
the value of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of
the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS 133, as
amended by SFAS 137 and 138, was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of
2001. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the
Company.

     In June, 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

     SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business
combinations and supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" and SFAS
38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises". All
business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for
using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this Statement apply to
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This Statement also
applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for
which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later.

     SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill
and other intangible assets and supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible
Assets". It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or
with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination)
should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This
Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be
accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial
statements. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over
its estimated useful life. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an
annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. Similarly,
goodwill associated with the equity-method investments is no longer amortized.
Equity-method goodwill is not, however, subject to new impairment rules; the
impairment guidance in existing rules for equity-method investments continues to
apply. Intangible assets should be separately recognized if the benefit of the
intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if
the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged,
regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. The Company believes the adoption
of this statement will have a material effect to the Company's reported results.
Goodwill and the assembled workforce will no longer be amortized. However, the
Company has not yet determined the impact of any impairment of goodwill under
the statement, which could be significant. Because goodwill and some intangible
assets will no longer be amortized starting January 1, 2002, the reported
amounts of goodwill and intangible assets (as well as total assets) will not
decrease at the same time and in the same manner as under previous standards.
There may be more volatility in future earnings of the Company than under
previous standards because impairment losses are likely to occur irregularly and
in varying amounts.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of
this Statement to have a significant impact on the Company.

     (10) SEGMENT REPORTING

     Aavid provides thermal management solutions for microprocessors and
integrated circuits ("ICs") for computer and network and industrial
applications. The Company consists of two distinct reportable segments: (1)
thermal management products and (2) computational fluid dynamics ("CFD")
software. Aavid's thermal management products consist of products and services
that solve problems associated with the dissipation of unwanted heat in
electronic and electrical components and systems. The Company develops and
offers CFD software for computer modeling and fluid flow analysis of products
and processes that reduce time and expense associated with physical models and
the facilities to test them.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

     The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales
or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

     Aavid's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services. They are managed separately because each
segment requires different marketing and sales strategies.

     The following summarizes the operations of each reportable segment for the
quarters ending September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the periods from
January 1, 2000 to February 1, 2000 and February 2, 2000 to September 30, 2000:

     (11) SELECTED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT, GUARANTORS AND
NON-GUARANTORS (UNAUDITED)

     The Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries have jointly and severally
guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, the principal amount of the
Company's 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2007. The guarantors include
the combined domestic operations of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC and Fluent, Inc. and
the Company's subsidiary Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. The non-guarantors
include the combined foreign operations of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC and Fluent,
Inc. The consolidating condensed financial statements of the Company depict
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc., the Parent, carrying its investment in
subsidiaries under the equity method and the guarantor and non-guarantor
subsidiaries are presented on a combined basis. Management believes that there
are no significant restrictions on the Parent's and guarantors' ability to
obtain funds from their subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The principal
elimination entries eliminate investment in subsidiaries and intercompany
balances and transactions.

OVERVIEW

     Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Aavid") is a leading
global provider of thermal management solutions for electronics products and the
leading developer and marketer of computational fluid dynamics ("CFD") software.
Each of these businesses has a leading reputation for high product quality,
service excellence and engineering innovation in its market. Aavid designs,
manufactures and distributes on a worldwide basis thermal management products
that dissipate heat from microprocessors and industrial electronics products.
Aavid's products include heat sinks, interface and attachment accessories, fans,
heat spreaders and liquid cooling and phase change devices that can be
configured to meet customer-specific needs. CFD software is used in complex
computer-generated modeling of fluid flows, heat and mass transfer and chemical
reactions. Aavid's CFD software is used in a variety of industries, including
the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, electronics
and bio-medical industries.

     On February 2, 2000, the Company was acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation newly formed by Willis Stein & Partners II, L.P. Pursuant to the
merger, Aavid stockholders received $25.50 in cash for each outstanding share of
common stock. In addition, all outstanding stock options and warrants were
cashed out. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method.

     The Merger and related transaction costs were funded by a cash contribution
from the Purchaser of $152.0 million, proceeds of $148.3 million, net of
original issue discount, from the sale by the Company of 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes and warrants due 2007, $54.7 million pursuant to a new credit
facility entered into by the Company, and approximately $4.7 million of cash on
hand. Net stockholders' equity on the date of acquisition was $156.6 million.
Based upon fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill of
$183.7 million was established. Approximately $113.7 million of this goodwill is
attributable to Aavid Thermalloy, the hardware business, and will be amortized
over 20 years. The remainder, $70.0 million, is attributable to Fluent, the CFD
software business, and will be amortized over 4 years.

     Of the $152.0 million cash contribution, $4.8 million was invested by Heat
Holdings II Corp., an affiliate of Heat Holdings, to acquire 95% of the common
equity of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC, the thermal management hardware business. The
Company controls Aavid Thermalloy, LLC through a preferred equity interest and
holds a 5% common equity interest and thus consolidates Aavid Thermalloy LLC in
its results within the accompanying financial statements. The investment by Heat
Holdings II Corp. has been recorded as minority interest within the accompanying
financial statements.

     On February 2, 2000, as part of the transactions relating to the Merger,
the Company issued 150,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of $150,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007
(the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 60
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and
60 shares of the Company's Class H Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis
by each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors").
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") among the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee.
Approximately $4.6 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Units was
allocated to the fair value of the Warrants and approximately $143.8 million was
allocated to the Notes, net of original issue discount of approximately $1.7
million. The total discount of $6.2 million is being accreted over the term of
the notes, using the effective interest rate method. This accretion is recorded
as interest expense within the accompanying statement of operations for the
quarter ended and nine months ended September 29, 2001 and the period February
2, 2000 to September 30, 2000.

     The Indenture limits the Company's ability to incur additional debt, to pay
dividends or make other distributions, to purchase or redeem our stock or make
other investments, to sell or dispose of assets, to create or incur liens, and
to merge or consolidate with any other person. The Indenture also contains
provisions requiring additional equity investments by Willis Stein & Partners in
the event


                                       18
<PAGE>

the Company does not achieve certain leverage to EBITDA ratios, as defined, in
years 2000 and 2001. As described below, Willis Stein has made the maximum
required equity investment and is not required to make an additional equity
investment even if the Company does not achieve the required ratios in 2001. The
Indenture provides that upon a change in control of Aavid, the Company must
offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the face value thereof, together with
accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment to
amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and certain
other permitted indebtedness.

     In connection with the Merger, the Company repaid all of the outstanding
term loan and revolving line of credit under its existing credit facility and
entered into an amended and restated credit facility ("the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility"). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for a
$22,000,000 revolving credit facility ("the Revolving Facility") (of which
$1,700,000 was drawn at the closing of the Merger) and a $53,000,000 term loan
facility ("the Term Facility") (which was fully drawn at the closing of the
Merger). Subject to compliance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility, borrowings under the Revolving Facility are available for working
capital purposes, capital expenditures and future acquisitions. The Revolving
Facility will terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be payable,
on March 31, 2005. Principal on the Term Facility is required to be repaid in
quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2000 and ending March 31, 2005 as
follows: five installments of $2,000,000; four installments of $2,500,000; four
installments of $2,750,000; two installments of $3,200,000; two installments of
$3,900,000; and a final installment of $7,800,000. In addition, commencing with
our fiscal year ending December 31, 2001, the Company is required to apply 50%
of our excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, to permanently
reduce the Term Facility. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility bears
interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1) in the case of
Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x) the interest rate in the London interbank
market for loans in an amount substantially equal to the amount of borrowing and
for the period of borrowing selected by Aavid and (y) a margin of between 1.50%
and 2.25% (depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in
the Amended and Restated Credit Facility)) or (2) the sum of the higher of (x)
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's prime or base rate or (y) one-half percent
plus the latest overnight federal funds rate plus (z) a margin of between .25%
and 1.00% (depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio). At September
29, 2001 the interest rates on the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility were
5.67%.

     The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time in
whole or in part without penalty, and must be prepaid to the extent of certain
equity or asset sales. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility limits the
Company's ability to incur additional debt, to sell or dispose of assets, to
create or incur liens, to make additional acquisitions, to pay dividends, to
purchase or redeem its stock and to merge or consolidate with any other person.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the Company
meet certain financial ratios, and provides the lenders with the right to
require the payment of all amounts outstanding under the facility, and to
terminate all commitments thereunder, if there is a change in control of Aavid.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of Holdings Corp.
and Heat Holdings II Corp., and all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and
secured by the Company's assets (including the assets and stock of its domestic
subsidiaries and a portion of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries).

     The Company incurred approximately $7,085,000 in underwriting, legal and
other professional fees in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
obtainment of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. These costs, in addition
to the $1,624,000 of unamortized costs associated with the original Credit
Facility, have been capitalized as deferred financing fees and are being
amortized over the respective terms of the related debt. This amortization is
recorded in interest expense in the statement of operations.

     At December 31, 2000 the Company was not in compliance with the leverage
ratio covenant required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the
Indenture under which the Notes were issued. As a result, the Company's
stockholders were required to make an equity contribution sufficient to allow
the Company to pay down enough debt to achieve a 4.5 to 1 leverage ratio based
on total leverage at December 31, 2000. On May 4, 2001 certain of the Company's
stockholders and their affiliates made an equity contribution of $8.0 million in
cash and $26.2 million in principal amount of senior notes in full satisfaction
of this obligation. In addition, the Company and the lenders amended the Amended
and Restated Credit Facility (Amendment No. 1) to provide that the last three
required quarterly principal payments in 2001 under the facility will be prepaid
with $6.0 million of the proceeds of the equity contribution, and the four
required principal payments in 2002 will be reduced by $0.5 million each,
reflecting application of the remaining cash equity contribution. Further,
certain covenant ratios and ratio definitions were amended and the available
line of credit was reduced to $17.0 million from $22.0 million. Based on the
equity contribution, the Company's events of non-compliance with its debt
covenants at December 31, 2000 was cured.

     As part of the equity contribution discussed above, Heat Holdings
contributed to Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. an aggregate of $8,000,000 in
cash and $26,191,000 in principal amount of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc.'s
123/4% senior subordinated notes due 2007 which the Company retired in exchange
for: (a) a warrant to purchase 2,224,472.5 Series B Preferred Units of Aavid
Thermalloy, LLC held beneficially and of record by Aavid thermal Technologies,
Inc. and (b) 78.871 shares of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. Class A Common
Stock and 78.871 shares of Aavid thermal Technologies, Inc. Class B Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share. The portion of the equity contribution related
to the warrants has been recorded in additional paid in capital in the
accompanying balance sheet as of September 29, 2001. The Company recognized a
gain on the retirement of senior subordinated


                                       19
<PAGE>
notes of $4,979,000, which is recorded as an extraordinary gain on early
extinguishment of debt in the accompanying statement of operations for the
quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2001.

     As of September 29, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial covenants under the amended and restated credit facility. The Company
has notified its lenders concerning the noncompliance. The resulting event of
default has not been waived by the Company's lenders, accordingly, the lenders
could demand full payment of all amounts outstanding under the amended and
restated credit facility. As a result of the event of default, the Company
classified $17,000,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility and
$41,000,000 outstanding under the term facility as current within the
accompanying balance sheet. The Company and its lenders are currently in
negotiations to address this issue. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in securing an amended or alternative financing arrangement.
The Company has sufficient cash to meet its scheduled obligations through the
end of this year. The Company may require additional funds to meet its scheduled
interest payment due in the first quarter of 2002 under the 12 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes Indenture. The Company is exploring various alternatives to
provide the liquidity to make the payment.

     As further discussed in Footnote (6) under "In-Process Research and
Development", in connection with the Merger, the Company allocated $15,000,000
of the purchase price to in-process research and development projects. This
allocation represented the estimated fair value based on risk-adjusted cash
flows related to the incomplete software research and development projects of
Fluent, Inc. At the date of the merger, the development of these projects had
not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in
progress had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed
as of the date of the merger.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For The Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2001 Compared With The
Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000

     The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are
the result of the combination of the results for the period from January 1, 2000
through February 1, 2000 (the Predecessor) and the period from February 2, 2000
through September 30, 2000. As a result of purchase accounting adjustments for
the Merger, which was consummated February 2, 2000, the Company had a
significant increase in goodwill and interest expense, and incurred one-time
restructuring charges and a charge for acquired in-process research and
development. Accordingly, a comparison of the results for the nine months ended
September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 may not necessarily be meaningful.

     Sales in the third quarter of 2001 were $46.5 million, a decrease of $22.4
million, or 32.5% from the comparable period of 2000. Sales for the first nine
months of 2001 were $161.4, a decrease of $63.9 million, or 28.4% from the first
nine months of 2000. This decrease stems from Aavid Thermalloy and is a direct
result of the decline experienced by the Technology sector, specifically in the
computer, networking and telecommunications industries during the first nine
months of 2001. The company has taken and will continue to take cost reduction
actions within Aavid Thermalloy such as personnel reductions and further
consolidation of manufacturing operations which will be completed prior to
December 31, 2001.

     Fluent software sales of $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2001 were
$1.4 million, or 10.8%, higher than the third quarter of 2000. Fluent software
sales of $48.5 million in the first nine months of 2001 were $6.1 million or
14.4% higher than the comparable period in the prior year. The increase was
spread among all product offerings due to overall growth in the market for
computational fluid dynamics design software, as well as the success of
application specific products, such as "Icepak" and "Airpak".

     Aavid Thermalloy's sales were $32.1 million in the third quarter of 2001, a
decrease of $23.8 million, or 42.6%, over the comparable period of 2000. Aavid
Thermalloy's sales were $112.9 million in the first nine months of 2001, a
decrease of $70.0 million or 38.3% from the comparable period of 2000. The
Company has taken steps to stop the erosion of sales seen in the Computer and
Networking industry (and to a lesser extent the Industrial Electronics industry)
by reinforcing its manufacturing, engineering and sales and marketing efforts,
particularly in North America and Asia. The Company has also deferred the
expansion of its fan business and does not anticipate significant revenues from
the sale of fans in 2001.

     International sales (which include North American exports) increased to 58%
of sales for the third quarter of 2001 compared with 43% in the third quarter of
2000.

     No customer generated greater than 10% of the Company's revenues in the
quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2001 or September 30, 2000.

     The Company's gross profit for the third quarter of 2001 was $13.8 million
compared with $25.8 million in the comparable period from 2000. Gross margin as
a percentage of sales decreased from 37.4% in the third quarter of 2000 to 29.7%
for the comparable period of 2001. Gross profit for the first nine months of
2001 was $55.4 million, compared with $75.9 million in the first nine months of
2000. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 34.4% for the first nine months
of 2001. For the first nine months of 2000, excluding $4.0 million of additional
cost of sales associated with the write-up of inventory to fair value on the
date of the Merger and $0.5 million of additional cost of sales associated with
the write-up of Thermalloy inventory to fair value in the fourth quarter of
1999, gross margin was 35.7%. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2001 was
negatively impacted by approximately $2.4 million of inventory provisions
recorded during the quarter. These provisions were necessary to cover excess and
obsolete inventory arising from customer order cancellations and reduced demand.
For the first nine months of 2001, the Company has recorded nearly $3.5 million
of additional inventory reserves. In addition to inventory provisions, gross
margin for the first nine months of 2001 has been further impacted by excess
factory capacity caused by the erosion of sales volume in the primary industry
segments served by the Hardware business. This reduction in margin in the
Hardware business was partially offset by Fluent, and it's higher gross margin
business becoming a larger percentage of the Company's consolidated gross
margin.

     In the third quarter of 2001 the Company's operating loss of $15.2 million
compares with an operating loss of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2000. In
the first nine months of 2001, the Company's operating loss of $41.9 million
compares with an operating loss of $19.7 million for the first nine months of
2000. The magnitude of the operating loss in the first nine months of 2001 was
primarily impacted by a restructuring charge of $14.5 million that was recorded
in connection with the planned cessation of manufacturing activities at the
Dallas, Texas, Terrell, Texas and Loudwater, United Kingdom facilities and the
reduction of the New Hampshire workforce. Additionally, the results for 2001
contain three full quarters of amortization of intangibles that were established
as part of the merger. The large operating loss that occurred in the first nine
months of 2000 was primarily the result $4.5 million of additional cost of sales
associated with the write-up of inventory to fair value on the date of the
merger, and a $15 million one-time charge related to the write-off of acquired
in-process research and development related to Fluent.

     The Company recognized a gain on the retirement of senior subordinated
notes of $4,979, which is recorded as an extraordinary gain on early
extinguishment of debt in the accompanying statement of operations for the nine
months ended September 29, 2001.

     Net interest charges for the Company were $5.2 million in the third quarter
of 2001 which compares with $6.5 million for the comparable period of 2000. Net
interest charges for the first nine months of 2001 were $18.3 million, compared
with $17.6 million in the first nine of 2000.

     The Company incurred a tax provision in the third quarter of 2001 despite
having significant operating losses in the United States because of significant
foreign tax provisions on foreign earnings. The Company's tax provision in 2001
represents the foreign tax provision on foreign earnings. The Company incurred
significant losses in the United States and the Company only benefits the U.S.
losses to the extent of foreign earnings which are expected to be repatriated in
the United States. Because the Company is in a net operating loss position for
U.S. tax purposes, the Company will not receive any tax benefit from foreign tax
credits. Accordingly, there is no net benefit recorded for the United States
losses, resulting in an overall tax provision for foreign taxes.

     The Company's net loss for the third quarter of 2001 was $21.3 million,
versus a net loss for the comparable period of 2000 of $9.6 million. The
Company's net loss for the first nine months of 2001 was $55.7 million, versus
$43.0 million in the first nine months of 2000. As discussed above, the first
nine months of 2001 include a $14.5 million restructuring charge related to
facility closings and workforce reductions. The net loss in the first nine
months of 2000 includes a $15.0 million write-off of acquired in-process
research and development and $4.5 million of additional cost of sales which
represents the impact of the write-up of inventory to fair value that occurred
in conjunction with the merger.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     Historically, the Company has used internally generated funds and proceeds
from financing activities to meet its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. As a result of the Thermalloy acquisition and the Merger, the
Company has significantly increased its cash requirements for debt service
relating to the Notes and Amended and Restated Credit Facility described in
footnote (1) in the accompanying financial statements. The Company intends to
use amounts available under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, future
debt and equity financings and internally generated funds to finance its working
capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. See
"Overview" for a discussion of the Notes and Amended and Restated Credit
Facility.

     During the first nine months of 2001, the Company used $7.8 million of cash
for operations, versus providing $13.1 million of cash from operations in the
first nine months of 2000. During the period, the Company provided $6.6 million
of cash in connection with financing activities. The Company used $6.7 million
for capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2001, versus $8.7 million
in the first nine months of 2000.

     Total indebtedness at September 29, 2001 was $178.2 million, which compares
with $204.0 million at December 31, 2000. Total indebtedness as a percent of
stockholders' equity at September 29, 2001 was 249.2%, compared with 203.7% at
December 31, 2000. Long-term debt at September 29, 2001 was $119.8, which
compares with $193.2 million at December 31, 2000.

     As of September 29, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial covenants under the amended and restated credit facility. The Company
has notified its lenders concerning the noncompliance. The resulting event of
default has not been waived by the Company's lenders, accordingly, the lenders
could demand full payment of all amounts outstanding under the amended and
restated credit facility. As a result of the event of default, the Company
classified $17,000,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility and
$41,000,000 outstanding under the term facility as current within the
accompanying balance sheet. The Company and its lenders are currently in
negotiations to address this issue. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in securing an amended or alternative financing arrangement.
The Company has sufficient cash to meet its scheduled obligation through the end
of this year. The Company may require additional funds to meet its scheduled
interest payment due in the first quarter of 2002 under the 12 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes Indenture. The Company is exploring various alternatives to
provide the liquidity to make the payment.

     As further discussed in Note (6) in the accompanying financial statements
development costs to complete ongoing development projects at Fluent are
estimated to be $0.9 million.

     The Company has an obligation to purchase from one of its key suppliers a
minimum quantity of aluminum coil stock. The Company believes that purchasing
aluminum coil stock from this supplier is necessary to achieve consistently low
tolerances, design delivery flexibility and price stability. Under the terms of
this agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase certain minimum quantities
which approximates $1.4 million at September 29, 2001.

     Due to the current economic situation within the electronics and
semi-conductor market place, Aavid's hardware business has experienced a
reduction in revenues and profitability. These poor economic conditions indicate
that the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable.
The Company is currently in the process of developing its business plan for 2002
and beyond. As part of the planning process, the Company will review its
long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for the
existence of any potential impairment. The Company expects to have its business
plan, including the review of long-lived assets, completed prior to the end of
the fourth quarter of 2001.
