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

      (1) BACKGROUND

      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.
Each of these businesses has an established 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 unwanted heat, which can degrade system performance and
reliability, from microprocessors and industrial electronics products. Aavid's
products, which include heat sinks, interface materials and attachment
accessories, fans, heat spreaders and liquid cooling and phase change devices
that it configures to meet customer-specific needs, serve the critical function
of conducting, convecting and radiating away unwanted heat. 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,
material processing, electronics and HVAC industries.

      Overall, the Company services a highly diversified base of more than 3,000
national and international customers including OEMs, distributors, and contract
manufacturers through a highly integrated network of software, development,
manufacturing, sales and distribution locations throughout North America,
Europe, and the Far East.

      The Company has been privately held since February 2, 2000, when it was
acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a corporation formed by Willis Stein & Partners
II, L.P and other investors. Heat Holdings II Corp., an affiliate of Heat
Holdings, owns 89% 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.

      (2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ending
September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.

      The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.

      For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      (6) INCOME TAXES

      The Company incurred a tax provision for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005 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 from 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 effective
tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 is higher than the
U.S. federal statutory rate, due primarily to improved profitability of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries located in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

      The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act"), enacted on
October 24, 2004, provides for a temporary 85% dividends received deduction on
certain foreign earnings repatriated by the end of 2005. To qualify for the
deduction, the earnings must be reinvested in the United States pursuant to a
domestic reinvestment plan established by the chief executive officer and
approved by the board of directors. Certain other criteria must be satisfied as
well.

      The Company has evaluated the provisions of the Jobs Act and has
determined that it will not repatriate foreign earnings under the provisions of
this Act.

      (7) 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 disclosed in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      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
quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004:

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, changes in the Company's markets, particularly the potentially volatile
semiconductor market, changes in and delays in product development plans and

OVERVIEW

      We are a leading global provider of thermal management solutions for
electronic products and the leading developer and marketer of CFD software.
Prior to February 2, 2000 we were a publicly traded company, listed on the
NASDAQ National Market under the trading symbol "AATT". Since February 2, 2000,
we have been a privately held company, owned by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation formed by Willis Stein and other investors. Our acquisition by
Willis Stein was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and was
financed through a combination of 12 3/4% senior subordinated notes and senior
bank debt.

      We are organized as two operating units known as Aavid Thermalloy and
Fluent. Aavid Thermalloy designs, manufactures and distributes thermal
management products that dissipate unwanted heat from microprocessors and
industrial electronics products. Fluent develops and markets CFD software that
is used in complex computer-generated modeling of fluid flows, heat and mass
transfer and chemical reactions. These two business units, while complementary,
are quite different from each other and as a result, Aavid Thermalloy and Fluent
will be discussed separately when analyzing performance and industry trends.

      Aavid Thermalloy is a global manufacturing business. Revenues are
generated through the sale of fabricated and purchased thermal management
products and components. Our thermal management products are used in a wide
variety of computer, networking and industrial electronics applications,
including computer systems (desktops, laptops, workstations and server products,
disk drives, printers and peripheral cards), network devices (servers, routers,
set top boxes and local area networks), telecommunications equipment (wireless
base stations, satellite stations and PBXs), instrumentation (semiconductor test
equipment, medical equipment and power supplies), transportation and motor
drives (braking and traction systems) and consumer electronics (stereo systems
and video games). We have manufacturing operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico,
U.K., Italy and China. Additionally, we have several sales offices throughout
the world, as well as engineering and design service centers in New Hampshire,
California and India.

      Fluent's CFD software is used for a wide variety of computer-based
analyses, including the design of electronic components and systems, automotive
design, combustion systems modeling and process plant troubleshooting. Fluent's
software is used in a variety of industries including, among others, the
automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, material
processing, electronics and HVAC industries. Fluent develops and markets


                                       15

its CFD software products worldwide and currently maintains sales, support and
design centers in North America, Europe and Asia.

</TABLE>

      Aavid's sales in the third quarter of 2005 were $63.6 million, an increase
of $7.9 million, or 14.1%, from the comparable period of 2004. Aavid's sales in
the first nine months of 2005 were $188.4 million, an increase of $20.5 million,
or 12.2%, from the comparable period of 2004. The overall increase in sales is a
combination of an improvement in Aavid Thermalloy, driven by moderate
improvement experienced by the electronics industry, combined with an increase
in revenues experienced by Fluent, driven by new software sales.

      Fluent software sales of $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 were
$4.1 million, or 16.4%, higher than the third quarter of 2004. Fluent's sales in
the first nine months of 2005 were $89.7 million, an increase of $13.7 million,
or 18.0%, from the comparable period of 2004. The increase in sales can be
attributed to stronger revenues experienced by Fluent's European and Asian
operations.

      Aavid Thermalloy's sales were $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2005,
an increase of $3.8 million, or 12.3%, over the third quarter of 2004. Aavid
Thermalloy's sales in the first nine months of 2005 were $98.7 million, an
increase of $6.8 million, or 7.4%, from the comparable period of 2004. As
discussed above, this was the result of moderate improvement in the overall
industry in which Aavid Thermalloy's customers operate.

      The Company's international sales (which include U.S. exports) increased
to 57.8% of sales for the third quarter of 2005 compared with 56.1% in the third
quarter of 2004.

      The Company's gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 was $31.2 million
compared with $28.2 million in the comparable period from 2004. Gross margin as
a percentage of sales was 49.1% and 50.4%, respectively, for the third quarter
and first nine months of 2005. This compares with 50.6% and 50.0%, respectively,
for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004. Aavid Thermalloy's gross
margin was 23.1% and 22.5%, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005, compared to 23.6% and 22.9% for the comparable periods of 2004.
Gross margin at Fluent was 79.8% and 81.1%, respectively, for the third quarter
and first nine months of 2005. This compares with 83.8% and 83.0%, respectively,
for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004. The decrease in gross
margin at Fluent is due largely to an increase in consulting revenues, which
have a lower margin than Fluent's software revenues.

      In the third quarter of 2005, the Company's operating income of $9.2
million compares with operating income of $7.2 million in the third quarter of
2004. Operating income for the first nine months of 2005 was $26.5 million,
compared with operating income of $21.6 million from the comparable period of
2004. Aavid Thermalloy saw an improvement of $0.8 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, in operating income from the third quarter and first nine months
of 2004 to the third quarter and first nine months of 2005. Fluent's operating
income improved $1.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2005 as compared to the comparable periods in
the prior year, with higher gross profit partially offset by higher operating
expenses. Corporate headquarters experienced no change in operating income for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to the third quarter of 2004, and
an improvement of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
compared to the first nine months of 2004.

      Foreign exchange gains, which are included in other income, were $0.2
million in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004. Net foreign exchange losses were
$0.4 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to net foreign exchange
gains of $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in net
foreign exchange losses in the first nine months of 2005 is due primarily to
foreign exchange losses on long-term intercompany notes due to certain U.S.
locations from certain foreign locations. These net foreign exchange losses
result primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the British
Pound and Euro during the first nine months of 2005.

      Net interest charges, including cash interest expense and income, deferred
financing fee amortization and bond discount amortization, for the Company were
$4.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first
nine months of 2005 which compares with $4.6 million and $13.6 million for the
comparable periods of 2004. The slight increase in interest expense for the
first nine months of 2005 is due to higher interest rates on the Company's
senior bank debt as compared to the same period in 2004.

      The Company incurred a tax provision for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005 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 from 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 effective
tax rates of 43.2% and 60.4%, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2005, compares to effective tax rates of 53.0% and 42.5% for the
comparable periods of 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first
nine months of 2005 is due primarily to improved profitability of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries located in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

      The Company's net income was $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively,
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to net income
of $1.4 million and $4.8 million for the comparable periods of 2004. The modest
increase in net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004 reflects
improvements in operating income being impacted by higher effective tax rates in
2005 as compared to 2004.

      The Company's EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement with
the Company's senior lenders, was $5.3 million and $31.4 million, respectively,
for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, compared with $5.8 million
and $29.2 million for the comparable periods in 2004. EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure that the Company believes is relevant to potential readers of
our financial statements as it is the primary measure of performance and
compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenant utilized by
our lenders. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is as follows:

      Under the terms of our Loan and Security Agreement, we cannot permit the
ratio of EBITDA to Fixed Charges to be less than 1.0 to 1.0, as measured at the
end of each fiscal month. If this ratio falls below 1.0 to 1.0, this would
constitute an Event of Default. If such a default occurs, the lenders under the
Loan and Security Agreement will be entitled to accelerate the amounts due under
the Loan and Security Agreement and may require all such amounts to be
immediately paid in full. The lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement may
also take all remedies permitted to be taken by a secured creditor under the
security documents entered into to secure the Loan and Security Agreement and
the Uniform Commercial Code. The Company was in compliance with all financial
covenants under its Loan and Security Agreement for the quarters and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Historically, the Company used internally generated funds and proceeds
from financing activities to meet its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. The Company has significant cash requirements for debt service
relating to its senior subordinated notes and its bank debt. The Company
currently uses amounts available under its 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 nine months of 2005, the Company generated $14.3 million
of cash from operations, versus $17.2 million of cash from operations generated
in the first nine months of 2004. During the first nine months of 2005, the
Company used $3.0 million of cash in connection with investing activities versus
using $7.1 million in the comparable period of 2004. The Company used $3.0
million for capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2005 versus $4.1
million in the comparable period of 2004. During the first nine months of 2004,
the Company also used $3.0 million related to the acquisition of a small
manufacturing company located in Taiwan. The Company used $4.1 million of cash
in connection with financing activities for the first nine months of 2005,
compared with using $0.5 million of cash in financing activities for the
comparable period in 2004. Approximately $4.1 million of the cash used in
financing activities during the first nine months of 2005 pertains to an advance
payment on a portion of the Company's term loans under its current bank credit
facility.

----------
(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.

      The Company's current bank 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 originally required quarterly principal payments of $0.4
million, which commenced November 1, 2002. In the third quarter of 2005, the
Company prepaid approximately $4.1 million of the term loan component of the
Loan and Security Agreement, reducing required quarterly principal payments to
$0.2 million, commencing November 1, 2005. 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. 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 11:00 a.m. 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 September 30,
2005, the interest rates on the Loan and Security Agreement ranged from 6.36% to
7.25%. Availability under the revolving line of credit was $16.4 million at
September 30, 2005, of which $7.8 million had been drawn.

      Debt classified as long term in the accompanying balance sheet as of
September 30, 2005, includes the long term portion of capital leases, the long
term portion of foreign debt obligations and all of the 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes. All debt outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement
has been reclassified as a current liability on the balance sheet as of
September 30, 2005, as this agreement expires on July 31, 2006. The Loan and
Security Agreement renews itself from year to year after July 31, 2006, if, and
only if, the Company and its lenders agree in writing to renew the agreement.
The Company is currently evaluating its renewal option under the agreement.

      The Company has obligations to purchase minimum quantities of raw
materials from two 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 approximate $0.4 million at September 30, 2005.

      The Company has entered into various long-term debt, capital lease and
operating lease arrangements. The future payments required by these arrangements
at September 30, 2005, are as follows:

      During the third quarter of 2005, inventory turns were 7.9, which compares
to 10.7 during the third quarter of 2004. The Company manufactures and ships
product from Asia via sea to a number of customers who maintain hubs throughout
the world. The Company is required to maintain a minimum of two weeks of
inventory in these hubs. Increased cycle time to convert finished goods to
accounts receivable is a natural extension of this business cycle. Over the last
18 months, the Company has seen significant growth in this facet of its
business, causing a build up of inventory and corresponding decrease in
inventory turns.

      At September 30, 2005, accounts receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO")
were 70 days, which compares with 69 days at December 31, 2004.

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


                                       19
<PAGE>
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 recognizes revenue on its software license and maintenance
arrangements in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9, and related pronouncements. The
pronouncements provide specific industry guidance and stipulate that revenue
recognized from software arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the
arrangement based on relative fair values of the elements, such as software
products, upgrades, enhancements, post-contract customer support ("PCS"),
installation and training.

      The Company licenses its software products under both perpetual and annual
license arrangements.

      For perpetual license arrangements, the Company uses the residual method
to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, the fair value vendor specific
objective evidence ("VSOE") of the undelivered elements (typically PCS) is
deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the
delivered elements (software) and is recognized as revenue, assuming all other
conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied. The Company recognizes
revenue from the undelivered PCS element ratably over the period of the PCS
arrangement.

      For annual license arrangements, with unbundled PCS, since VSOE of value
for the PCS does not exist, the Company recognizes revenue for both the software
license and the PCS ratably over the 12-month term of the license.

      Training and consulting revenues are recognized upon completion of
services or, in certain instances, on the proportional performance method.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined.

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 experienced in prior years,
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 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


                                       20
<PAGE>
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 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

      We review goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an
asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that a two-step impairment test be
performed on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each
reporting unit to its carrying value. Our reporting units are consistent with
the reportable segments identified in Note (7) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a
combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income
approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present
value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the
fair value based on market multiples of revenues or earnings for comparable
companies. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of
the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not
required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets
assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit,
then we must perform the second step in order to determine the implied fair
value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of
the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's
goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we must record an impairment loss
equal to the difference. SFAS No. 142 also requires that the fair value of the
purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives be estimated and compared to
the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of these intangible assets using
the income approach. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair
value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.

      The income approach, which we use to estimate the fair value of our
reporting units and purchased intangible assets, is dependent on a number of
factors including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted
revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized, appropriate
discount rates and other variables. We base our fair value estimates on
assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and
inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In
addition, we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies
used in the market approach in valuing our reporting units, as well as certain
assumptions to allocate shared assets and liabilities to calculate the carrying
values for each of our reporting units.

REGULATORY REPORTING

      Although the Company has not been subject to the filing requirements of a
reporting company to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") 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. The Company is a non-accelerated filer for purposes of compliance
with SEC rules under the Act that were adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until its fiscal year
ending December 31, 2007.
