Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (603) 224-1117

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant (1) has filed all reports required
to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during

required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing

         Aggregate market value of the Registrant's common stock held by
non-affiliates: N/A. The number of outstanding shares of the registrant's Common
Stock as of August 8, 2003 was 1,018.87 shares of class A, 1,078.87 shares of
Class B and 40 shares of Class H, all of which are owned by Heat Holdings Corp.
On February 2, 2000, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heat Holdings Corp. was merged
with and into the Registrant with the Registrant becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Heat Holdings Corp. and each share of Registrant's then
outstanding common stock was converted into $25.50 in cash. The Registrant's
Common Stock is no longer publicly traded; however, the Registrant's Senior
Subordinated Notes are publicly traded.

-----------------------
(1) Although the Company has not been subject to such filing requirements for
the past 90 days, it has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act (the "Act") of 1934 during the preceding twelve
months. Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Act, the Company's duty to file reports
is automatically suspended as a result of having fewer than 300 holders of
record of each class of its debt securities outstanding, as of January 1, 2003,
but the Company agreed under the terms of certain long-term debt covenants to
continue these filings.

                        AAVID THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                   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 a
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. (the "Merger").
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 was being amortized over 20 years through
December 31, 2001. The remainder, $69,971, is attributable to Fluent, the CFD
software business, and was being amortized over 4 years through December 31,
2001. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company wrote off the goodwill
attributable to Aavid Thermalloy after performing a review for impairment under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."
The impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 related to the
goodwill attributable to Aavid Thermalloy was $95,651. The Company adopted SFAS
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under the
provisions of SFAS 142, the remaining goodwill attributable to Fluent is no
longer amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually.

         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 10 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 quarter and six months ended June 28, 2003 and
the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002.

         In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into an amended and
restated credit facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility"). The
Amended and Restated Credit Facility provided 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).

         On May 4, 2001, in response to the Company not being in compliance with
a leverage ratio covenant at December 31, 2000, 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 12-3/4% senior subordinated notes.

                                        6

         On August 1, 2002, the Company refinanced its Amended and Restated
Credit Facility with two of the four banks that were party to the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility. The new credit facility (the "Loan and Security
Agreement") is a $27,500 asset based facility. The facility consists of a term
loan component which requires quarterly principal payments of $359 commencing
November 1, 2002. The Loan and Security Agreement also consists of a revolving
line of credit component. All borrowings under the new credit facility are
secured by substantially all assets of the Company. Availability under the line
of credit component is determined by a borrowing base of 85% of eligible
accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory, as defined in the Loan and
Security Agreement. At August 1, 2002, the total available credit under the Loan
and Security Agreement was $23,880, of which $22,620 was drawn at closing. Debt
outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement bears interest at a rate equal
to, at the Company's option, either (1) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, the sum
of the offered rate for deposits in United States dollars for a period equal to
such interest period as it appears on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00am London
time and a margin of between 2.5% and 2.85%, or (2) the sum of LaSalle Business
Credit's prime rate plus a margin of between .25% and .50%. At June 28, 2003,
the interest rates on the Loan and Security Agreement ranged from 3.52% to
4.50%. Availability under the revolving line of credit was $15,598 at June 28,
2003, of which $6,000 had been drawn.

         The Company incurred costs related to underwriting, legal and other
professional fees in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
establishment of its senior credit facilities. These costs 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 for the quarter and six months ended June
28, 2003 and the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002.

         Debt classified as long term in the accompanying balance sheet as of
June 28, 2003 consists of the long term portion of the term loan component of
the new Loan and Security Agreement, long term portion of capital leases, long
term portion of foreign debt obligations and all of the 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes.

         On January 29, 2002, as part of an equity contribution required under a
forbearance agreement with the Company's previous senior credit holders, Heat
Holdings contributed to Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. an aggregate of $12,000
in cash in exchange for: (a) a warrant to purchase 174,389 Series B Preferred
Units of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC held beneficially and of record by Aavid Thermal
Technologies, Inc. and (b) 67.71 shares of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc.
Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share and 67.71 shares of Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc. Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share.
The portion of the equity contribution related to the warrant has been recorded
in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying balance sheets as of June 28,
2003 and December 31, 2002.

         Dividends on the Company's Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
(Preferred Stock) shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded
annually, of the Liquidation Value of such shares (plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends as of the end of the previous anniversary of the date of issuance of
such shares) from and including the date of issuance of such shares of Preferred
Stock to and including the first to occur of: (i) the date on which the
liquidation value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) of such shares
of Preferred Stock is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the
liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such shares of Preferred
Stock by the Company or; (ii) the date on which such shares are otherwise
acquired by the Company. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have
been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of
the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, and such dividends
shall be cumulative such that all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully
paid or declared with funds irrevocably set apart for payment thereof and shall
be paid before any dividends, distributions, redemptions or other payments may
be made with respect to any Junior Securities, other than Participating
Dividends.

         The Liquidation Value of any share of Preferred Stock as of any
particular date shall be $75,738.83 per share; as such amount is adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. The total liquidation
value of the Preferred Stock is $12,062 at June 28, 2003. Total cumulative
unpaid dividends at June 28, 2003 were $1,805.

         (2) RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

         Due to the Company restating the intangible asset impairment charge
that was recorded in 2001 (see Note C to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002), the
Company restated amortization recorded in 2002 related to the impacted
intangible assets.

         The statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended June
29, 2002 and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2002
included in this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the intangible asset
amortization as discussed above. Accumulated deficit at June 29, 2002
(unaudited) has been restated in connection with changes made to the
consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and six months ended June
29, 2002 as follows:

         (3) DISCONTINUED OPERATION

         On July 17, 2002, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of

         Approximately $2,130 of restructuring charges were recorded in
connection with the Company's October 1999 acquisition of Thermalloy, the
thermal management business of Bowthorpe plc. The restructuring plan included

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 under the restructuring plan. The following amounts have been charged
against the Thermalloy restructuring reserves during the quarter ended June 28,
2003:

         (9) SEGMENT REPORTING

         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

                                       10

<PAGE>

disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

         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 and six months ending June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002:

         (10) 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.

</TABLE>

         Aavid's sales in the second quarter of 2003 were $47.6 million, an
increase of $7.2 million, or 17.8%, from the comparable period of 2002. Aavid's
sales for the first six months of 2003 were $91.4 million, an increase of $12.5
million, or 15.8%, from the first six months of 2002. The overall increase in
sales is a combination of an improvement in Aavid Thermalloy, driven by market
share wins and a slight improvement experienced by the semi-conductor and
electronics industries as excess inventories throughout the industry have been
reduced, combined with an increase in revenues experienced by Fluent.

         Fluent software sales of $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2003
were $2.8 million, or 15.3%, higher than the second quarter of 2002. Fluent
sales for the first six months of 2003 were $40.4 million, an increase of $5.9
million, or 17.1%, from the comparable period of 2002. 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 continued success
of application specific products, such as "Icepak" and "Airpak".

                                       17

         Aavid Thermalloy's sales were $26.5 million in the second quarter of
2003, an increase of $4.4 million, or 19.9%, over the second quarter of 2002.
Aavid Thermalloy sales for the first six months of 2003 were $51.0 million, an
increase of $6.6 million, or 14.9%, from the comparable period of 2002. As
discussed above, this was the result of both market share wins and a slight
improvement in the overall industry in which Aavid Thermalloy's customers
operate in, primarily due to the industry's ability to significantly reduce
levels of excess inventories existing in 2002. Based on the current booking
activity, management expects to see an environment of flat revenues on a
sequential basis in the third quarter of 2003 when compared with the second
quarter of 2003.

         The Company's international sales (which include U.S. exports)
increased to 54.0% of sales for the second quarter of 2003 compared with 49.2%
in the second quarter of 2002.

         No customer generated greater than 10% of the Company's revenues in the
second quarter of 2003 or 2002.

         The Company's gross profit for the second quarter of 2003 was $22.1
million compared with $18.3 million in the comparable period from 2002. Gross
profit for the first six months of 2003 was $43.5 million, an increase of $9.3
million, or 27.3%, from the first six months of 2002. Gross margin as a
percentage of sales was 46.5% and 47.6%, respectively, for the second quarter
and first six months of 2003, compared with 45.2% and 43.4% for the comparable
periods of 2002. Gross margin at Aavid Thermalloy has improved through
significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency and utilization as a result
of the consolidation of manufacturing facilities (including the shut-down of the
Loudwater, U.K. facility, the Malacca, Malaysia facility and the Dallas and
Terrell, Texas facilities) that occurred during 2001 and 2002. Aavid
Thermalloy's gross margin increased approximately 2.4% percentage points from
the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2003. Gross margin at Fluent
improved from 78.4% in the second quarter of 2002 to 79.3% in the second quarter
of 2003.

         In the second quarter of 2003, the Company's operating income of $2.7
million compares with an operating loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of
2002. Operating income for the first six months of 2003 was $4.2 million,
compared with an operating loss of $1.7 million from the comparable period in
the prior year. Aavid Thermalloy saw improvements of $2.2 million and $4.3
million, respectively, in operating income from the second quarter and first six
months of 2002 to the second quarter and first six months of 2003. This is
primarily due to the improvement in manufacturing utilization and cost savings
achievements discussed above. Fluent's operating income improved $0.4 million
and $0.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter and first six months of
2003 as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, with higher gross
profit partially offset by higher operating expenses. Corporate headquarters
experienced an improvement in operating loss of $0.4 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, from the second quarter and first six months of 2002 to the
comparable periods of 2003 due to decreased legal and administrative costs.

         Net interest charges, including cash interest expense and income,
deferred financing fee amortization and bond discount amortization, for the
Company were $4.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, in the second quarter
and first six months of 2003 which compares with $5.1 million and $10.4 million
for the comparable periods of 2002. The decrease in interest expense for the
second quarter and first six months of 2003 is due to lower debt levels in the
first half of 2003 compared to the first half of 2002, combined with lower
interest rates on bank debt in 2003 compared to 2002.

         The Company incurred a tax provision for the second quarter and first
six months of 2003 despite having operating losses in the United States because
of state tax provisions on applicable state components of U.S. income and
foreign tax provisions 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 was $1.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively,
for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2003 compared with a net loss of
$6.4 million and $14.3 million for the comparable periods of 2002. The primary
reasons for the improvement in net loss from 2002 to 2003 have been discussed
above, but include Aavid Thermalloy's revenue growth and significant
improvements in manufacturing efficiency through plant shut-downs and other cost
savings initiatives.

         The Company's EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement
with the Company's senior lenders, was $9.7 million and $18.8 million,
respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2003, compared with
$7.1 million and $13.0 million for the comparable periods in 2002. A
reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is as follows:

         Aavid Thermalloy operates a manufacturing plant in Guangdong Province,
China and sales offices in Taipei, Taiwan and Singapore. Each of these locations
had been identified by the World Health Organization as an affected area for
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in early 2003. While the SARS epidemic
appears to have been contained and travel and other restrictions have been
lifted as of the date of this filing, the performance of our Asian operations
could be materially adversely affected should the disease manifest itself again
in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, the Company had 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 had significantly increased its cash requirements for debt
service relating to the Notes and its Bank debt described in footnote (1) in the
accompanying financial statements. The Company currently uses amounts available
under its new Loan and Security Agreement, debt and equity financings and
internally generated funds to finance its working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and potential acquisitions.

         During the first six months of 2003, the Company generated $9.7 million
of cash for operations, versus using $1.5 million of cash for operations in the
first half of 2002. During the first half of 2003, the Company used $2.1 million
of cash in connection with investing activities versus using $1.6 million in the
comparable period of 2002. The Company used $2.2 million for capital
expenditures in the first half of 2003 versus $3.0 million in the comparable
period of 2002. The Company used $2.1 million of cash in connection with
financing activities for the first half of 2003, compared to being provided with
$7.2 million of cash from financing activities for the comparable period in
2002.

(1) Change in deferred revenue as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement
represents the net change in deferred revenue found on the Company's balance
sheet from the beginning of the applicable reporting period to the end of the
applicable reporting period. An increase in deferred revenue during the period
will create an addition to EBITDA. A decrease in deferred revenue during the
period creates a subtraction from EBITDA, as defined.

         On August 1, 2002, the Company refinanced its Amended and Restated
Credit Facility with two of the four banks that were party to the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility. The new credit facility (the "Loan and Security
Agreement") is a $27.5 million asset based facility. The facility consists of a
term loan component secured by certain United States real estate and machinery
and equipment and requires quarterly principal payments of $0.4 million
commencing November 1, 2002. The Loan and Security Agreement also consists of a
revolving line of credit component secured by inventory in the United States and
accounts receivable in the United States and the United Kingdom. Availability
under the line of credit component is determined by a borrowing base of 85% of
eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory, as defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement. At August 1, 2002, the available borrowing base was
$23.9 million, of which $22.6 million was drawn at closing. Debt outstanding
under the Loan and Security Agreement bears interest at a rate equal to, at the
Company's option, either (1) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, the sum of the
offered rate for deposits in United states dollars for a period equal to such
interest period as it appears on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00am London time
and a margin of between 2.5% and 2.85% or (2) the sum of LaSalle Business
Credit's prime rate plus a margin of between .25% and .50%. At June 28, 2003,
the interest rates on the Loan and Security Agreement ranged from 3.52% to
4.50%. Availability under the revolving line of credit was $15.6 million at June
28, 2003, of which $6.0 million had been drawn.

         Debt classified as long term in the accompanying balance sheet as of
June 28, 2003 consists of the long term portion of the term loan component of
the new Loan and Security Agreement, long term portion of capital leases, long
term portion of foreign debt obligations and all of the 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes.

         The Company has obligations to purchase minimum quantities of raw
materials from three of its key suppliers. The Company believes that purchasing
these raw materials from a few key suppliers is necessary to achieve
consistently low tolerances, design, delivery flexibility, and price stability.
Under the terms of these agreements the Company has agreed to purchase certain
minimum quantities which approximates $1.6 million at June 28, 2003.

         The Company has entered into various long-term debt, capital lease and
operating lease arrangements. The future payments required by these arrangements
at June 28, 2003 are as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         We prepare the consolidated financial statements of Aavid Thermal
Technologies, Inc. in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based on the
information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The
significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in
fully understanding and evaluating our financial reporting results include the
following:

                                       20
<PAGE>

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES

THERMAL PRODUCTS

         Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. We offer certain
distributors limited rights of return and stock rotation rights. Due to these
return rights, we continuously monitor and track product returns and we record a
provision for the estimated future amount of such future returns, based on
historical experience and any notification we receive of pending returns. While
such returns have historically been within our expectations and provisions
established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same
return rates that we have in the past. Any significant decrease in product
demand experienced by our distributor customers and the resulting credit returns
could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or
periods in which such returns materialize.

SOFTWARE

         The Company's software subsidiary, Fluent, recognizes software revenue
in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue
Recognition" and SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2 Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions." These statements provide
specific industry guidance and stipulate that revenue recognized from software
arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the
relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades,
enhancements, post-contract customer support ("PCS"), installation or training.
Under the terms of Fluent's arrangements, the software is delivered upon signing
and the bundled PCS is available to the customer over the term of the contract.
SOP 97-2 requires a seller of software with bundled PCS to establish vendor
specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the value of the undelivered element of
the contract (in Fluent's case the PCS) in order to account separately for the
PCS revenue.

         In order to establish VSOE, there needs to be specific instances in
which a customer purchases the PCS separately from the software such that a true
market value can be determined. Fluent's product offerings consist of both
perpetual licenses and annual licenses that include bundled PCS. Purchasers of
perpetual licenses renew their PCS each year for a specific price. Due to this
practice, there is VSOE for the value of the PCS, which allows Fluent to
separate the software element from the PCS element and recognize the software
element immediately upon signing of the contract and delivery of the product.
PCS revenue is then recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

         For annual license arrangements, the Company believes it does not have
sufficient VSOE to support the separation of the contract into separate elements
(which would allow the Company to recognize revenue associated with the software
element immediately upon signing of the contract). Therefore, the Company
recognizes revenue associated with the entire annual license arrangement
ratably, over the term of the agreement.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits
based on payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as
determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously
monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for
estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues we have identified. While such credit losses have
historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we
cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates
we have in the past. In the event that economic or other conditions cause a
change in liquidity or financial condition in multiple customers, there could be
a material adverse effect on our collection of receivables and future results of
operations.

INVENTORIES

         We value our inventory, which consists of materials, labor and
overhead, at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the
inventory or the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly
review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and
obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand
and production demand for the next twelve months. As demonstrated in 2002 and
2001, demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. A significant
increase in demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the
cost of inventory purchases and production costs while a significant decrease in
demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities
on hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological
change, frequent new product development and rapid product

                                       21

<PAGE>

obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete
inventory quantities on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product
demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or
overstated the provision required for excess or obsolete inventory. In the
future, if our inventory is determined to be overvalued, we would be required to
recognize such costs in our cost of goods sold at the time of determination.
Likewise, if our inventory is determined to be undervalued, we may have
over-reported our cost of sales in previous periods and would be required to
recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale. Therefore,
although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future
product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological
developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and
reported operating results.

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

         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" and the accounting and reporting provisions
of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of
a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The Company adopted SFAS No.
144 on January 1, 2002. The application of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

         During 2001 and prior periods, we assessed the impairment of
identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable as required under SFAS 121. Factors we considered important which
could trigger an impairment review included the following:

            -  significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
               projected future operating results;

            -  significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired
               assets or the strategy for our overall business;

            -  significant negative industry or economic trends.

         Under SFAS 121, when we determine that the carrying value of
intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill may not be recoverable based
on the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we
measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cashflow method using a
discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk
inherent in our business model. During 2001, global macroeconomic conditions
weakened and the demand for industrial and consumer electronics contracted
significantly and as a result we determined that our ability to achieve our long
term financial forecast had been negatively impacted. We determined that a
triggering event, as defined by SFAS 121, had occurred related to the intangible
assets initially acquired in connection with the Merger. Based on cash flow
projections related to the acquired assets, we concluded that all of the
acquired intangible assets related to Aavid Thermalloy and certain intangible
assets related to Fluent had been impaired. During the fourth quarter of 2001,
upon completion of our analysis of the impairment, we wrote down the assets,
along with any allocated goodwill, to fair value based on the related discounted
cash flow. In order to measure the impairment loss related to goodwill, the
difference between the carrying value and the fair value of goodwill was
calculated using a business enterprise methodology. This method of goodwill
measurement entails calculating the total enterprise value of each of Aavid's
business units. Goodwill and intangible assets were then estimated by
subtracting the allocated tangible assets (normal levels of working capital and
fixed assets) from the total enterprise value.

REGULATORY REPORTING

         Although the Company has not been subject to the filing requirements of
a reporting company to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the past 90
days, it has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act (the "Act") of 1934 during the preceding twelve months.
Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Act, the Company's duty to file reports is
automatically suspended as a result of having fewer than 300 holders of record
of each class of its debt securities outstanding, as of January 1, 2003, but the
Company agreed under the terms of certain long-term debt covenants to continue
these filings.
