                          The Derby Cycle Corporation

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentations

The consolidated financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June
28, 1998 and June 27, 1999 together with the balance sheet as of June 27, 1999
included herein have not been audited by independent public accountants, but in
the opinion of The Derby Cycle Corporation (the "Company"), all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position at June 27, 1999 and the results of operations and the
cash flows for the periods presented herein have been made. The results of
operations for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The combined financial statements have been prepared to reflect the financial
position and results of operations of the bicycle and bicycle component
businesses of Derby International Corporation S.A. ("DICSA"), a Luxembourg
holding company through May 14, 1998. Up to that date DICSA owned shares, either
directly or indirectly, in a number of bicycle and bicycle component companies
worldwide that predominantly operate as stand-alone entities. Each of the
companies manufactures, assembles and/or distributes bicycles and bicycle
components. These bicycle and bicycle component companies, collectively referred
to as the "The Derby Bicycle Group", have significant operations in The
Netherlands ("Gazelle"), the United Kingdom ("Raleigh UK" and "Sturmey
Archer"), Canada ("Raleigh Canada"), Germany ("Derby Germany"), South Africa
("Probike") and the United States (the "Derby USA" division of the Company). The
Derby Bicycle Group owns or licenses many of the most recognized brands in the
bicycle industry, including leading global brands such as Raleigh, Diamond Back,
Nishiki (for USA only) and Univega, and leading national brands such as Gazelle
in The Netherlands and Kalkhoff, Musing, Winora and Staiger in Germany.

Effective May 14, 1998, DICSA reorganized its businesses in connection with a
recapitalization agreement  (the "Recapitalization") so that each of its bicycle
and bicycle component companies are owned directly or indirectly by The Derby
Cycle Corporation, a Delaware corporation with operations in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared to reflect
the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries from May 14, 1998 through June 27, 1999. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are
presented in United States dollars.

References to the "Company" throughout this document mean The Derby Bicycle
Group through May 14, 1998 and The Derby Cycle Corporation and its subsidiaries
from May 14, 1998 through June 27, 1999.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, herein referred to as the
consolidated financial statements, have been prepared as if the Company had been
in existence for all periods presented. DICSA's historical basis in the assets
and liabilities of the Company has been carried over. All material inter-company
transactions and balances between entities included in these combined financial
statements have been eliminated. Certain expenses were originally recorded by
DICSA on behalf of the Company, such as headquarters' management costs and other
corporate expenses. These amounts have

                                       7
<PAGE>

been allocated in their entirety in the Company's financial statements, as such
costs were incurred on behalf of the Company except for an immaterial amount
that related to DICSA. Management believes this allocation is reasonable and
represents the expenses as if the Company had been a stand-alone operation.

For the purposes of calculating the net income (loss) applicable to common
shareholders, the common shares outstanding used assumes that the conversion of
pre-existing stock at the time of the Recapitalization is applicable to earlier
years.

2.   Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost
determined on a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. A provision is made for
obsolete, slow moving and defective items where appropriate.

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

The market for bicycles, parts and accessories is subject to the risk of
changing consumer trends. In the event that a particular bicycle model or
accessory does not achieve widespread consumer acceptance, and the Company holds
excess inventory of that bicycle model, part or accessory, the Company may be
required to take significant price markdowns, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition.

3.   Derivative Financial Instruments

Adoption of SFAS 133
The Company elected to adopt SFAS 133 as of October 1, 1998.

For the six months ended June 28, 1998 income and expense related to the
marking-to-market of the Company's derivative instruments are included in the
statement of income: a profit of $558,000 on the marking-to-market of the
forward foreign exchange contracts is shown within cost of sales; a loss of
$1,051,000 on the marking-to-market of the swaps is shown as other (expense).
For the six months ended June 27, 1999 income and expense related to the
marking-to-market of derivative instruments subsequent to the adoption of SFAS
133 are included in accumulated other comprehensive income: a net gain of
$223,000 on the marking-to-market of the forward foreign exchange contracts, the
expiration of one of the currency options and a gain of $84,000 on the marking-
to-market of the remaining currency options and interest rate cap. The net gain
of $1,376,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 27, 1999 will be
released to income in the years 1999 to 2001 as the related sales, purchases or
interest expense occurs.

4.   Short-Term Borrowings

The Company has indebtedness available under a seven year revolving credit
agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") of DM214.0 million ($113.8
million).

                                       8
<PAGE>

The Company was not in compliance with certain of its financial covenants as of
June 27, 1999 under the Revolving Credit Agreement. These covenants include a
minimum level of adjusted EBITDA, a minimum interest coverage and a maximum
amount of loans out. The impact of the restructuring charge and the underlying
results of the UK businesses reduced adjusted EBITDA, while the issue of secured
promissory notes to partially finance the issue of shares to executives of the
Company increased loans out. The lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement
granted the Company a waiver on July 27, 1999 effective to August 27, 1999 with
respect to the Company's non compliance of these covenants. The Company is
currently in discussion with the members of the syndicated revolving credit
facility in order to reset the levels of the financial covenants in the
Revolving Credit Agreement on a going forward basis.

5.   Long term debt

On February 4, 1999 the Company issued $20 million principal amount in a
subordinated note (the "Subordinated Note") to Vencap Holding (1992) PTE Ltd.
which matures in 2010 and bears interest at 19% compounded daily. As of December
31, 1998, and June 27, 1999, long-term debt consists of the following (in
thousands):

6.   Contingencies

International Operations; Dependence on Foreign Suppliers and Sales

A significant portion of the Company's operations are conducted in foreign
countries and are subject to the risks that are inherent in operating abroad,
including, without limitation, the risks associated with foreign governmental
regulation, foreign taxes, import duties and trade restrictions. The Company's
business is highly dependent upon products manufactured by foreign suppliers
located primarily in Taiwan, Japan and the People's Republic of China. A
substantial majority of the Company's multi-speed bicycles contain components
supplied on a purchase order basis by one Japanese manufacturer. The Company's
business is also subject to the risks generally associated with doing business
abroad, such as delays in shipment and foreign governmental regulations which
could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company. In addition, several of the Company's manufacturing
operations are unionized.

Product Liability

Because of the nature of the Company's business, the Company at any particular
time is a defendant in a number of product liability lawsuits and expects that
this will continue to be the case in the future. These lawsuits generally seek
damages, sometimes in substantial amounts, for personal injuries allegedly
sustained as a result of defects in the Company's products. Although the Company
maintains product liability insurance, due to the uncertainty as to the nature
and extent of manufacturers' and distributors' liability for personal injuries,
there is no assurance that the product liability insurance maintained by the
Company is or will be adequate to cover product liability claims or that the
applicable insurer will be solvent at the time of any covered loss. In addition,
due to deductibles, self-retention levels and aggregate coverage amounts
applicable under the Company's insurance policies, the Company may bear

                                       9
<PAGE>

responsibility for a significant portion of the defense costs (which include
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in the defense of any claim), and the
related payments to satisfy any judgments associated with any claim asserted
against the Company in excess of any applicable coverage. The successful
assertion or settlement of an uninsured claim, the settlement of a significant
number of insured claims, or a claim exceeding the Company's insurance coverage
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that
insurance will remain available or, if available, will not be prohibitively
expensive.

Common stock and Preferred stock

On October 20, 1998, the Company entered into an employment contract with Gary
Matthews as Chief Executive Officer with effect from mid January 1999.  The
contract is for a four year term with a three year extension.

Pursuant to a Management Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 20, 1998, Gary
Matthews purchased 1,500 shares of the Company's common stock for $1,000 per
share. Gary Matthews paid for such shares with a secured promissory note, shown
within other assets in the balance sheet, that is non-recourse except for 20
percent of the principal amount and all of the accrued interest. Upon the
termination of Gary Matthews' employment with the Company, the Company has the
right or is required to repurchase, depending on the reason for such
termination, such common stock.

On February 4, 1999 the Company issued 18,950 shares of Class C common stock to
DC Cycle L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Thayer Equity Investors III, L.P.
("Thayer") and 3,800 shares of Class C common stock to Perseus Cycle L.L.C., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Perseus Capital, L.L.C. ("Perseus") for the
acquisition of Diamond Back

On April 1, 1999 and June 1, 1999 the Company issued Class A and Class C common
shares to executives of the Company for $1,000 per share as follows :

The issue of shares to executives of the Company was partly financed by the

7.   Acquisitions

On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired the assets (and assumed certain
liabilities) of the Diamond Back Group for $43,445,000 in cash. The Diamond Back
Group consists of Diamond Back International Company Limited, a private British
Virgin Islands company ("Diamond Back"), Western States Import Company Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Western States") and Bejka Trading A.B., a private
Swedish company ("Bejka"), each of which is engaged in the bicycle, bicycle
parts and accessories and fitness equipment distribution business. Western
States and Bejka had worldwide revenues of approximately $62.9 million and $3.1
million, respectively, in 1998. Diamond Back was essentially a holding company
for the company's intellectual property and did not generate material revenues.
The Company financed the acquisition of the Diamond Back Group by issuing a
$20,000,000  Subordinated Note and $22,750,000 in  Class C common stock.

8.    Stock option plan

The Company has established one stock option plan: The Derby Cycle Corporation
1998 Stock Option Plan.

On October 21, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted The Derby
Cycle Corporation 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Plan"), which authorizes
grants of stock options (including options intended to qualify as "incentive
stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code).
The Stock Plan authorizes the Company's Board of Directors to grant options at
any time in such quantity, at such price, on such terms and subject to such
conditions as established by the board. The Company issued stock options to
purchase 1,625 shares of the Company's Class A common stock for $1,000 per share
which vest over three years, and performance-based stock options to purchase
3,250 shares of Class A common stock for $1,000 per share to Gary Matthews.

<PAGE>

On April 1, 1999 and June 1, 1999 the Company issued stock options to purchase a
total of 4,240 shares of Class A common stock and 1,060 shares of Class B common
stock to executives of the Company. 3,800 of these options vest over four years
while the remaining 1,500 options are performance based.

In October 1995, SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued.
The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 in 1999, but opted
to remain under the expense recognition provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in
accounting for options granted under the Stock Option Plans. Had compensation
expense for share options granted under these schemes been determined based on
fair value at the grant dates in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per share for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 1999
would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts shown below:

</TABLE>

The weighted average fair value of options granted in the quarter ended June 27,
1999 and the quarter ended March 28, 1999 was estimated at $198.01 and $118.39
as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. The
following weighted average assumptions were used: dividend yield of 0% per
annum, annual standard deviation (volatility) of 0% per annum, risk free
interest rate of 5.52% and expected term of 4.0 and 3.0 years respectively.

The exercise price for options outstanding at June 27, 1999 is $1,000 and a
remaining contractual life of 9.59 years.

9.   Segmental Information: Reportable business segments

The Company manages its business in seven reportable segments as shown in the
following tables. Consolidation adjustments, certain small operating companies,
non operating companies and the headquarters are included in "Other companies".
The reportable segments are managed separately because each business has
differing customer requirements, either as a result of the regional environment
of the country or differences in products and services offered. A summary of
revenues, operating income, and identifiable assets categorized by the business
segment is as follows (in thousands):

10.  Recent developments

Raleigh UK intends to cease manufacturing steel bicycle frames altogether by the
end of 1999 due to increased consumer demand for aluminum frames. Steel frames
manufactured by Raleigh UK currently account for approximately 50% of all frames
sold by Raleigh UK, with the balance being fabricated from aluminum and imported
from Asia.

The Company is currently negotiating the sale of that part of the factory site
that will be released. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of
the site either to pay expenses associated with the restructuring or to pay down
the Company's revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof.

Other components of the restructuring include the streamlining of Raleigh UK's
product development and marketing functions.

The consolidation of Raleigh UK's bicycle operations together with the other
restructuring activities will produce greater efficiencies and help re-build the
profitability. The nature of these changes requires them to be phased over the
balance of 1999, and the precise number and timing of associated lay-offs will
not be defined until more detailed work has been completed.

In July 1999 the Company restructured its corporate management and established
its headquarters in Stamford, CT to organize the finance and marketing functions
of the Company. This is the first step to running the Company on a global basis
which will enable the Company to obtain the scale benefits of being the largest
player in the international bicycle business.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company is a world-leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of bicycles.
The Company holds the leading market share in the United Kingdom, The
Netherlands, Canada and Ireland, holds the leading market share in the adult
bicycle market in Germany and is also the second largest supplier to independent
bicycle dealers ("IBDs") in the United States. Competing primarily in the
medium-to premium-priced market, the Company owns or licenses many of the most
recognized brand names in the bicycle industry, including leading global brands
such as Raleigh, Diamond Back, Nishiki and Univega, and leading regional brands
such as Gazelle in The Netherlands and Kalkhoff, Musing, Winora and Staiger in
Germany. The Company designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of bicycles
in all major product categories: (i) all-terrain or mountain bicycles ("MTBs"),
(ii) city bicycles, also called touring or upright bicycles, (iii) hybrid
bicycles, also called comfort or cross bicycles, (iv) juvenile bicycles,
including bicycle motocross ("BMX") bicycles, and (v) race/road bicycles. The
Company distributes branded bicycles through extensive local market networks of
IBDs as well as through national retailers, and distributes private label
bicycles through mass merchandisers and specialty stores.

Through a series of acquisitions and plant expansions, the Company has created a
global bicycle business distinguished by its leading market positions, low cost
production, extensive distribution network and reputation for high quality.
Organized in 1986 for the purpose of acquiring the Raleigh, Gazelle and Sturmey
Archer businesses from TI Group plc, the Company expanded into the United States
and Germany in 1988. Since then, the Company has acquired additional well-known
brands and leveraged its existing manufacturing plants and component sourcing
operations to lower unit costs for its acquired businesses.

On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired the assets (and assumed certain
liabilities) of the Diamond Back Group for approximately $43.4 million in cash.
The Diamond Back Group consisted of Diamond Back International Company Limited,
a private British Virgin Islands company ("Diamond Back"), Western States Import
Company Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Western States") and Bejka Trading A.B.,
a private Swedish company ("Bejka"), each of which is engaged in the bicycle,
bicycle parts and accessories and fitness equipment distribution business.
Western States and Bejka had worldwide revenues of approximately $62.9 million
and $3.1 million, respectively, in 1998. Diamond Back was essentially a holding
company for the company's intellectual property and did not generate material
revenues. The Company financed the acquisition of the Diamond Back Group by
issuing $20 million principal amount in a Subordinated Note to Vencap Holding
(1992) PTE Ltd. and $22.75 million in Class C common stock to DC Cycle, L.L.C.
and Perseus Cycle L.L.C. The Subordinated Note matures in 2010 and bears
interest at an annual rate of 19% compounded daily.

Since 1990, the Company has invested in labor-saving flexible production
machinery and restructured the workforces at its manufacturing locations. From
1992 to 1993, taking advantage of substantial incentives from the German
government, the Company built a factory in Rostock, in the former German
Democratic Republic.

The Company's operations are concentrated in the United Kingdom, The
Netherlands, Germany, the United States and Canada, with manufacturing
operations in these countries, each led by experienced local management.

The Company  maintains  marketing or purchasing  operations  in five  additional
countries. Each local operation manages national distribution channels, dealer
service and working capital and benefits from shared product design and
manufacturing technologies as well as from economies of scale generated by the
Company's aggregate purchasing power. Consequently, each local operation has the
flexibility to respond to shifts in local market demand and product preference.

                                       18

In 1998, 55% of the Company's net revenues were denominated in currencies within
the European Monetary System, 18% were denominated in pounds sterling, 15% were
denominated in US dollars and 12% were denominated in other currencies. The
Company reduces its currency exposure by maintaining operations in the major
markets in which it sells its products. The Company further mitigates foreign
exchange risk by purchasing currency options and entering into forward purchase
contracts. The acquisition of the Diamond Back Group increases the proportion of
the Company's net revenues denominated in US dollars to approximately 25%.

Units sold. Units sold increased by 19 thousand units and 83 thousand units for
the quarter and six months ended June 1999. Diamond Back sales were 81 thousand
units and 126 thousand units in the quarter and six months ended June 1999.
Raleigh Canada's private label sales fell by 63 thousand units and 54 thousand
units in the quarter and six months ended June 1999 as mass merchants started
the year over-stocked and have experienced weak bicycle retail sales.
Particularly strong growth was seen at Gazelle and Derby Germany in the IBD
sector following successful product range launches in the fall leading to an
increase in sales volumes of approximately 7%. Sales at Raleigh UK fell by
approximately 5% and action has been taken to improve the competitiveness of the
product line for 1999 and to further incentivize retailers to sell Raleigh,
which has arrested the decline.

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased by $14.3 million and $31.2 million to
$165.1 million and $303.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 1999
in line with the increase in units sold and a 4-5% increase in average price
achieved through growth in the high value Dutch and German markets accompanied
by a reduction in the low value Canadian market. $20.4 million of the increase
in bicycle

sales, a $6.5 million increase in the sales of parts and accessories and $1.8
million sales of fitness equipment in the six months ended June 1999 were
generated by Diamond Back. Sturmey Archer's revenues for the six months ended
June 1999 dropped by $1.2 million in the engineering components business
following the loss of one major customer during the first quarter of 1998 and
other business since. New business is being negotiated to come on stream in the
fourth quarter. Sturmey Archer's sales of bicycle hubs dropped by $0.7 million
in the six months ended June 1999 as competition increased in the European hub
market and the re-designed seven-speed hub was not introduced in time for the
introduction of 1999 bicycle models at the autumn 1998 trade shows.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the quarter and six months ended June 1999
increased by $2.3 million, and $4.1 million but on increased revenue dollars,
this represented a margin decrease of 0.9 and 1.3 percentage points to 24.9% and
24.4% for those periods. Gross margins at Raleigh UK dropped in the first
quarter from 17.9% to 9.8%, and in the second quarter from 29.0% to 18.4%
compared with a year ago, accounting for a 1.1 percentage point decrease in
gross margin of the Company for the six months ended June 1999. The thin margins
at Raleigh UK arose due to a combination of weak product mix, weak distribution
channel mix, and lower cost recovery on the low production volumes, together
with aggressive discounting on the sale of obsolete models in the first quarter.

Following the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company reports changes in the mark-to-
market value of its foreign currency forward cover contracts and currency
options in other comprehensive income in 1999. This differs from 1998 when $0.3
million adverse and $0.6 million favorable changes in the mark-to-market value
of foreign currency forward cover contracts for the quarter and six months ended
June 1998 were included in cost of sales, which impacted year ago margins by 0.2
percentage points adversely in the quarter, and 0.2 percentage points favorably
in the six months ended June 1998.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $3.9 million and $7.4 million to $29.0
million and $55.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 1999.
Expenses at Diamond Back of $4.5 million and $7.0 million for the quarter and
six months ended June 1999 accounted for nearly all of the increase.

Restructuring Charge. In order to reduce product costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses and maximize the synergy benefits from the Diamond Back
acquisition, the Company has started restructuring its businesses in UK and the
Raleigh distribution operations in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and
Ireland, as well as reviewing the logistics of Raleigh and Diamond Back
distribution in USA and establishing its new headquarters, estimated to cost $10
million in aggregate.

Raleigh UK intends to cease manufacturing steel bicycle frames altogether by the
end of 1999 due to increased consumer demand for aluminum frames. Steel frames
manufactured by the company currently account for approximately 50% of all
frames sold by the company, with the balance being fabricated from aluminum and
imported from Asia. The company has granted an option to a property developer
for the sale of the factory site that will be released. The company intends to
use the proceeds from the sale of the site either to pay expenses associated
with the restructuring or to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility,
or a combination thereof. Other components of the restructuring at Raleigh UK
include streamlining the company's product development and marketing functions.

Management of the Raleigh distribution operations in Germany, The Netherlands
and Belgium, previously run on a stand-alone basis, has been combined with the
Gazelle and Derby Germany operations, although the results are still included in
Other Companies in this discussion for ease of comparison. The Raleigh Ireland
warehouse has been closed, leaving only a sales force in Ireland.

In July 1999 the Company restructured its corporate management and established
its headquarters in Stamford, CT to organize the finance and marketing
functions of the Company on a global basis.

These restructuring steps are projected to reduce on-going product costs and
selling expenses by $2 million in the current year and by $5 million in 2000.
Further restructuring costs of some $1.5 million are planned for the second half
of 1999, but had not been committed as at June 27, 1999 and consequently have
not been provided for in these financial statements.

Operating Income. Underlying operating income of $12.6 million and $18.8 million
for the first quarter and six months ended June 1999 decreased by $1.1 million
and $3.3 million due to the lower gross margin and higher selling, general and
administrative expenses. Diamond Back made a loss of $0.2 million in the
quarter, which diluted the operating margin.

Provision for Income Taxes. Most of the reduction in income arose in
jurisdictions where the Company is in a tax loss position, principally the UK,
and so reduced the liability to deferred taxes. Only a portion of the reduction
in income arose in The Netherlands, where most of the Company's tax liability
arises, which created savings in the provision for current taxes of $0.8 million
and $0.7 million in the quarter and six months ended June 1999.

Net Income. Net income decreased by $2.2 million and $8.0 million to give losses
of $1.4 million and S2.6 million in the quarter and six months ended June 1999.
The decrease was primarily the result of the increase in interest expense, and
the restructuring charge as discussed above, offset by the recapitalization
costs of $5.7 million in 1998.

Liquidity and capital resources

Demand for bicycles in the Company's principal markets is seasonal,
characterized in most cases by a majority of consumer sales in the spring and
summer months. The exceptions to this are in the United Kingdom, South Africa
and Ireland, where consumer sales are typically higher in the last four months
of the calendar year due to increased sales of juvenile bicycles in the months
preceding Christmas: accordingly, dealers' peak purchasing months in those
countries are October and November when they build inventory in anticipation of
Christmas sales of juvenile bicycles. Excluding this holiday seasonality,

                                       22
<PAGE>

the Company's working capital requirements are greatest during February, March
and April (the Company's "Peak Season") as receivable levels increase. The
Company offers extended credit terms on sales during the months prior to the
Peak Season, although the Company encourages early payments through trade
discounts.

Finished goods inventory remains relatively constant throughout the fiscal year
and the level of raw materials increases and decreases normally only to
accommodate production needs. Work in process represents, on average, eight
days' production. Inventory levels reach a minimum at the end of the Peak
Season.

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased $21.6 million to a $8.7
million inflow for the first half of 1999 from $12.9 million used in 1998. This
improvement was principally due to a $22.8 million reduction in inventories and
$13.7 million higher increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
offset by $12.0 million higher interest and tax payments. The payment period for
accounts payable has extended by 11 days compared with year ago leading to an
increase in accounts payable of $1.0 million in the first half compared with a
decrease of $8.5 million in the first half of 1998. Following a change in the
fiscal year end in The Netherlands in 1997, payment of tax due for 1997 and 1998
of $3.8 million was deferred until 1999. This, together with estimated tax
payments relating to 1999 of $1.5 million, was paid in the first half of 1999,
resulting in an increase in taxes paid to $6.3 million in the first half of this
year compared with $0.9 million year ago. Interest of $10.5 million was paid in
the first half of 1999 compared with $3.9 million year ago due to the increased
principal amount of Senior Notes and higher coupon. The net cash flow provided
by operating activities of $8.7 million in the first half of 1999 was used to
repay drawings under the revolving credit facility which decreased by $17.8
million as a result of this and the application of cash balances of $8.0
million.

On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired the assets (and assumed certain
liabilities) of the Diamond Back Group for $43.4 million. The Company financed
the acquisition of the Diamond Back Group by issuing a $20.0 million
Subordinated Note and $22.75 million in Class C common stock.

The actuarial valuation of the UK pension schemes carried out as at April 1998
showed that the schemes were in surplus based on UK funding criteria and
employer's contributions ceased from mid-year 1998. The Dutch pension scheme has
been in surplus and no employer's contributions have been made for a number of
years. As a result, the Company's contributions to its defined benefit pension
plans were less than $0.1 million in the six months ended June 1999, compared
with $1.2 million in the six months ended June 1998. The Company adopted SFAS
87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" on January 1, 1993. The impact of
adopting SFAS 87 was the recognition of a transition asset of $37.8 million. The
transition asset is being amortized into income over 15 years. Net periodic
pension income was $2.5 million and $2.6 million in the first half of 1998 and
1999 respectively. Net periodic pension income includes amortization of the
transition asset into income of $1.3 million and $1.2 million in the first half
of both 1998 and 1999.

The Company's capital expenditures were $3.5 million and $2.3 million in the
first half of 1998 and 1999, being (i) on-going cost reduction projects, (ii)
replacements and (iii) items required to satisfy statutory environmental and
health and safety legislation.

The Company is primarily financed by equity purchased by Thayer, Perseus DFS and
management as part of the Recapitalization and subsequently, plus the Retained
Equity of, in aggregate, $134.2 million and debt in the form of Senior Notes and
the revolving credit facility. The Company incurred significant indebtedness in
connection with the Recapitalization. As of June 27, 1999, the Company had
$221.5 million of combined indebtedness, comprising $158.5 of Senior Notes, a
$20.0 million Subordinated Note, $42.7 million of borrowings under the revolving
credit facility and $0.3 million of borrowings under the South African credit
facility. The Senior Notes are issued under Indentures which contain certain
covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem
capital stock, redeem subordinated obligations, make investments, undertake
sales of assets and subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates,

                                       23
<PAGE>

issue capital stock, permit liens to exist, operate in other lines of business,
engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and engage in mergers,
consolidations or sales of all or substantially all the assets of the Company.
Accordingly, certain activities or transactions that the Company may want to
pursue or enter into may be restricted or prohibited, and such restrictions and
prohibitions could, from time to time, impact available cash on hand and the
liquidity of the Company.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments including currency swaps,
interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, forward foreign exchange contracts, and
currency options. The Company enters into currency and interest rate swaps such
that the notional principal amount is equal to the principal amount of the
underlying debt. The swaps achieve the effect of synthetically converting the
original United States dollar denominated debt into several other foreign
currencies and converting the interest rate on the debt from United States
dollar rates to those applicable for that currency. The Company enters into
forward foreign exchange contracts and options to minimize the impact of
currency movements, principally on purchases of inventory and sales of goods
denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currencies.
Interest rate caps have been purchased to limit the blended interest rate paid
on the revolving credit facility to under 8% over the next 2 years. Currency
basket options have been purchased to substantially maintain the value of
foreign operating profits upon conversion into US dollars, in order to protect
the ability to service the US senior notes from the effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates.

A Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a seven-year DM214 million secured
senior revolving credit facility to be made available to the Company's operating
companies. Borrowings under this revolving credit facility are available subject
to a borrowing base determined as a percentage of eligible assets. The Company's
borrowings peak in February/March/April each year. The Company believes that it
has adequate headroom on its funding requirements for the next year.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates. In order to manage the risk arising from these
exposures, the Company enters into a variety of foreign currency and interest
rate contracts and options.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying and selling in
currencies other than the functional currencies in which it operates. The
Company's net trading position is long in the Euro, Canadian Dollar and South
African Rand, arising from its revenues in those currencies, and short of the
New Taiwan Dollar, Japanese Yen and US Dollar as a result of components
purchased in those currencies. The Company has a natural currency hedge against
Pounds Sterling arising from its position as both an importer and exporter in
UK. Sturmey Archer also has a competitive exposure to the currencies of Japan
and Germany in which its two main competitors manufacture.

The Company generally introduces its new bicycle model ranges annually in the
fall of each year, at a similar time to most of its competitors. Product
specifications, component costs and selling prices are kept as stable as
possible during the model year to satisfy the requirements of mass-merchandisers
and facilitate orderly marketing of branded products amongst IBDs. The Company
takes out foreign currency forward exchange contracts or options in the fall to
hedge most of its foreign currency trading transaction exposure for the upcoming
season. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts and options have been
designated as hedges as defined in SFAS 133 and the mark-to-market value of $1.1
million at December 31, 1998 was therefore included in accumulated other
comprehensive income. The potential loss in fair value for such financial
instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency
exchange rates would be approximately $4.1 million for 1998. Each year the
Company changes the specification of its products to endeavor to optimize its
competitive position and margins. Most of the Company's competitors purchase
comparable components from similar sources to the Company and are believed not
to hedge beyond the current season. To stay competitive the Company does not
generally hedge its transaction exposure beyond the end of the season.
Management believes the likelihood of obtaining a competitive advantage would
not justify the cost of hedging beyond the end of the season.

                                       24
<PAGE>

Sales and purchases in currencies other than the functional currencies in which
the Company operates were $31.6 million and $106.9 million respectively in 1998,
treating the currencies within the European Exchange Rate Mechanism as one.

The foreign currency element of the Company's debt under the Senior Notes and
the revolving credit facility has, since September 1998, generally been arranged
to align with the denomination of the book value of net assets. By doing this,
the Company reduces the translation exposure of net worth to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. The three principal exceptions are: (1) $38 million of
net assets denominated in Pounds Sterling arising from the Company's relatively
large presence in UK, (2) $38 million of foreign pension assets in UK and The
Netherlands, and, (3) $5 million denominated in South African Rand due to limits
placed by the South African Reserve Bank on the maximum indebtedness allowed by
foreign owned corporations, based on the balance sheet as at December 31, 1998.
The Company generates most of its trading income in foreign currencies. In order
to ensure that such trading income can be converted to yield sufficient US
Dollars to service 67% of the interest on the $100 million 10% Senior Notes
through May 2001, currency options were purchased in 1998. These currency
options are for $6.7 million per year, selling Df6 million, GBP2 million
and C$1.2 million. At December 31, 1998 the mark-to-market value of these
currency options was $0.1 million. As the purchaser of options has no
obligations to exercise them, any weakening of the value of the US Dollar can do
no more than reduce the fair value of these currency options to zero.

Up to May 14, 1998, interest and currency swaps were held which achieved the
effect of synthetically converting the original US Dollar denominated Series A
and Series C Senior Notes into foreign currency debt of those countries where
the Company had operations. This converted the interest on the debt from US
Dollars to those foreign currencies in which trading income was generated. Derby
USA generated sufficient trading income to service the 7.66% Series B Senior
Note, withstanding certain one time items.

Interest Rate Risk
The weighted average interest rate on the Senior Notes was 6.9% in 1998 through
May 13, 1998 and 10.3% effective May 14, 1998, after taking into account the
effect of any swaps and including amortization of deferred financing costs. The
other major element of the Company's interest expense was on the revolving
credit facilities. These were at floating rates of 1% above the London Interbank
Offered Rate through May 13, 1998 and 2% thereafter. This produced weighted
average interest rates on the revolving credit facilities of 6.6% in 1998, after
taking into account the effect of any swaps and including amortization of
deferred financing costs. A hypothetical one percentage point shift in floating
interest rates would have a $0.7 million approximate impact on annual interest
expense. As interest rates on the revolving credit facility have been capped at
7.9% effective August 1998 through July 2001, increases in floating interest
rates above that level would only have limited impact on expense.

Commodity Price Risk
The business of the Company does not carry a significant direct exposure to the
prices of commodities.

Unsecured status of Senior Notes and asset encumbrance
The Indentures permit the Company to incur certain secured indebtedness,
including indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is secured
and guaranteed by the obligors thereunder through a first priority fully
protected security interest in all the assets, properties and undertakings of
the Company and each other obligor thereunder where available and cost effective
to do so, and to the extent permissible by local laws. The Company has
indebtedness available under the Revolving Credit Agreement of DM214.0 million
($113.8 million). As of June 27, 1999, the Company had indebtedness outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Agreement of approximately $42.7 million. Borrowings
under the South African Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in
certain of the assets of the Company's South African subsidiaries. The Notes are
unsecured and therefore do not have the benefit of any such collateral.
Accordingly, if an event of default were to occur under the Revolving Credit
Agreement or the South African Credit Facility, the lenders thereunder would
have the right to foreclose upon the collateral securing such indebtedness to
the exclusion of the holders of the Notes, notwithstanding the existence of an
event of default with respect to the Notes. In such event, the assets

                                       25
<PAGE>

constituting such collateral would first be used to repay in full all amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement or the South African Credit
Facility, as applicable, resulting in all or a portion of the assets of the
Issuers being unavailable to satisfy the claims of holders of the Notes and
other unsecured indebtedness of the Issuers. The Company may also incur other
types of secured indebtedness under the Indentures, including up to $20 million
in indebtedness of any type, indebtedness of an acquired company where the
Company would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional indebtedness under its
Consolidated Coverage Ratio, indebtedness in respect of performance bonds,
bankers' acceptances, letters of credit, and the like, purchase money
indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations in an aggregate amount not
exceeding $10 million, indebtedness incurred by foreign subsidiaries not
exceeding $5 million, and indebtedness incurred by a securitization entity.

Restrictive Loan Covenants
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of
shares in any subsidiary, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness,
engage in mergers and acquisitions, exercise certain options, make investments,
incur guaranty obligations, make loans, make capital distributions, enter into
joint ventures, repay the Notes, make loans or pay any dividend or distribution
to the Issuers for any reason other than (among other things) to pay interest
(but not principal or Additional Amounts) owing in respect of the Notes, incur
liens and encumbrances and permit the amount of receivables and inventory to
exceed specified thresholds.

The Company was not in compliance with certain of its financial covenants as of
June 27, 1999 under the Revolving Credit Agreement. These covenants include a
minimum level of adjusted EBITDA, a minimum interest coverage and a maximum
amount of loans out. The impact of the restructuring charge and the underlying
results of the UK businesses reduced adjusted EBITDA, while the issue of secured
promissory notes to partially finance the issue of shares to executives of the
Company increased loans out. The lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement
granted the Company a waiver on July 27, 1999 effective to August 27, 1999 with
respect to the Company's non compliance of these covenants. The Company is
currently in discussion with the members of the Company's syndicated revolving
credit facility in order to reset the levels of the financial covenants in the
Revolving Credit Agreement on a going forward basis.

The ability of the Company to comply with the covenants and other provisions of
the Revolving Credit Agreement may be affected by changes in general economic
and competitive conditions and by financial, business and other factors that are
beyond the Company's control. The failure to comply with the provisions of the
Revolving Credit Agreement could result in an event of default thereunder, and,
depending upon the actions of the lenders thereunder, all amounts borrowed under
the Revolving Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest, could be
declared due and payable. If the Company were not able to repay all amounts
borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest,
the lenders thereunder would have the right to proceed against the collateral
granted to them to secure such indebtedness. If the indebtedness outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Agreement were to be accelerated, there can be no
assurance that the assets of the Company would be sufficient to repay in full
such indebtedness, and there can be no assurance that there would be sufficient
assets remaining after such repayments to pay amounts due in respect of any or
all of the Notes.

In addition, the Indentures contain certain covenants that, among other things,
restrict the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends on and redeem capital stock, redeem
certain subordinated obligations, make investments, undertake sales of assets
and subsidiary stock, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, sell or
issue capital stock, permit liens to exist, operate in other lines of business,
engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and engage in mergers,
consolidations or sales of all or substantially all the assets of the Company. A
failure to comply with the restrictions contained in either of the Indentures
could result in an event of default under such Indenture.

Information Technology--Year 2000
The Company is in the process of implementing a plan designed to ensure that all
application software used in connection with the Company's management
information systems, including internally

                                       26
<PAGE>

developed systems, software purchased from outside vendors and embedded chips at
the Company's manufacturing facilities, will manage and manipulate data
involving the transition of dates from 1999 to 2000 without functional or data
abnormality and without inaccurate results related to such dates. Due to the
fact that existing software often defines each year with two digits rather than
four digits, the Company's computers that have date-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as occurring in the year 1900 rather than the year
2000, which would result in such abnormalities and inaccuracies and lead to
disruptions of the Company's operations, including a temporary inability to
process customer orders, send invoices or engage in other normal business
activities. Many of the Company's existing computer systems will need to be
retired, replaced or remediated prior to the year 2000. Retirement, replacement
and remediation may require that, over the next few years, a substantial portion
of the Company's management information systems spending be allocated to such
activities. The Company is currently in the process of replacing and upgrading
the computer systems of its United States and Canadian operations. The Company
spent a total of approximately $2.3 million in 1998 and expects to spend $1.1
million in 1999 to achieve "Year 2000 compliance" for all of its operations. At
June, 1999 all the compliance plans of the Company's operations were more than
75% completed. The Company plans to complete all Year 2000 compliance efforts by
the third quarter of 1999. The costs and timing of such efforts, however, are
based upon management's best estimates, which are derived using assumptions
relating to, among other things, the availability of certain resources, the
timing of actions taken by third parties and other factors. Additional
expenditures beyond the Company's projections may be necessary. In the event
that the Company materially underestimates the amount of funds or the time
necessary to resolve identified problems or that any information systems relied
upon by the Company for critical functions are not substantially Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner, there could be a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's plan for the Year 2000 calls for communication with significant
suppliers and customers to determine the readiness of third parties' remediation
of their own Year 2000 issues. As part of its assessment, the Company is
evaluating the level of validation it will require of third parties to ensure
their Year 2000 readiness. The Company believes that the purchasing patterns of
customers and potential customers may be affected by Year 2000 issues as
companies expend significant resources to correct or patch their current
software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in
reduced funds available to purchase the Company's products, which could result
in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. There can be no assurance that any Year 2000 compliance
problems of the Company's customers or suppliers will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

To date, the Company has not encountered any material Year 2000 issues
concerning its computer systems. Accordingly, the Company has not at this time
developed a contingency plan if it fails to achieve Year 2000 compliance and
does not plan to develop such a plan until it learns of material impediments in
timely implementation of its plans for the Year 2000.

Risk of Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations; Introduction of The Euro
The Company's business is conducted by operating subsidiaries in many countries,
and, accordingly, the Company's results of operations are subject to currency
translation risk and currency transaction risk. With respect to currency
translation risk, the results of operations of each of these operating
subsidiaries are reported in the relevant local currency and then translated
into US dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate for inclusion in the
Company's financial statements. The appreciation of the US dollar against the
local currencies of the operating subsidiaries will have a negative impact on
the Company's sales and operating margin. Conversely, the depreciation of the US
dollar against such currencies will have a positive impact. Fluctuations in the
exchange rate between the US dollar and the other currencies in which the
Company conducts its operations may also affect the book value of the Company's
assets and the amount of the Company's shareholders' equity. In addition, to the
extent indebtedness of the Company is denominated in different currencies,
changes in the values of such currencies relative to other currencies in which
the Company conducts its operations may have a negative impact on the Company's
ability to meet principal and interest obligations in respect of such
indebtedness.

                                       27
<PAGE>

In addition to currency translation risk, the Company incurs currency
transaction risk to the extent that the Company's operations involve
transactions in differing currencies. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates
will impact the Company's results of operations to the extent that the costs
incurred by the operating subsidiaries are denominated in currencies that differ
from the currencies in which the related sale proceeds are denominated. To
mitigate such risk, the Company enters into forward purchase contracts primarily
relating to the Pound Sterling, the US Dollar, the Dutch Guilder, the Deutsche
Mark, the New Taiwan Dollar and the Yen. The Company does not enter into forward
purchase agreements for speculative purposes. Given the volatility of currency
exchange rates, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
effectively to manage its currency transaction risks or that any volatility in
currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

Under the treaty on the European Economic and Monetary Union (the "Treaty"), to
which the Federal Republic of Germany and The Netherlands are signatories, on
January 1, 1999, a European single currency (the "Euro") replaced some of the
currencies of the member states of the European Union (the "EU"), including the
Deutsche Mark and Dutch Guilder.

Following introduction of the Euro, the existing sovereign currencies (the
"legacy currencies") of the eleven participating member countries of the EU (the
"participating countries") who adopted the Euro as their common legal currency
are scheduled to remain legal tender in the participating countries as
denominations of the Euro until January 1, 2002 (the "transition period"). The
Euro conversion may impact the Company's competitive position as the Company may
incur increased costs to conduct business in an additional currency during the
transition period. Additionally, the participating countries' pursuit of a
single monetary policy through the European Central Bank may affect the
economies of significant markets of the Company. The Company will also need to
maintain and in certain circumstances develop information systems software to
(1) convert legacy currency amounts to Euro; (2) convert one legacy currency to
another; (3) perform prescribed rounding calculations to effect currency
conversions; and (4) permit transactions to take place in both legacy currencies
and the Euro during the transition period. Since the Company conducts extensive
business operations in, and exports its products to, several of the
participating countries, there can be no assurance that the conversion to the
Euro will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, in the event that the
Company materially underestimates the costs, timeliness and adequacy of
modifications to its information systems software, there could be a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Substantial Leverage and Debt Service Obligations
The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the
Recapitalization and acquisition of Diamond Back and has a highly leveraged
capital structure. As of June 27, 1999, the Company had combined total
indebtedness of $221.5 million (including all indebtedness and guarantees of
indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement and indebtedness under the
South African Credit Facility, but excluding, in each case, unused commitments
thereunder), preferred stock of $46.5 million, stock rights of $23.3 million and
the shareholders' deficit was $49.4 million. The Company's ability to make
scheduled interest payments and repayment of principal is dependent upon its
future operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to general economic and
competitive conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Company's control. Although the Company believes that,
based on current operations, it will have sufficient cash flow from operations
to service its obligations with respect to its indebtedness, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to meet such obligations. In the event
that the Company is unable to generate cash flow from operations that is
sufficient to service its obligations in respect of its indebtedness, the
Company may be required to take certain actions, including delaying or reducing
capital expenditures, attempting to restructure or refinance its indebtedness,
selling material assets or operations or seeking additional equity. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to generate cash flow from operations
that is sufficient to service its obligations in respect of its indebtedness or
that any of such actions could be effected or would be effective to allow the
Company to service such obligations.

Forward looking statements
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to time make oral
forward-looking statements. As discussed in the Company's prospectus on Form S-
4A filed with the SEC on December 4, 1998, actual results are uncertain and may
be impacted by the various factors. In particular, certain risks and
uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward-looking statements
with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results include, without
limitation, cycles of customer orders, general economic and competitive
conditions and changing consumer trends, foreign exchange rates, technological
advances and the number and timing of new product introductions, shipments of
products and components from foreign suppliers, the timing of operating and
advertising expenditures and changes in the mix of products ordered by
independent bicycle dealers and mass merchants. As a result, the actual results
may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company's operating
results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of
future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.

                                    -------

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Product Liability

Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company is a defendant in a
number of product liability lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits generally
seek damages, in amounts that may be material, for personal injuries allegedly
sustained as a result of alleged defects in the Company's products. Although the
Company maintains product liability insurance, due to the uncertainty as to the
nature and extent of manufacturers' and distributors' liability for personal
injuries, there can be no assurance that the product liability insurance
maintained by the Company is or will be adequate to cover product liability
claims or that the applicable insurer will be solvent at the time of any covered
loss. In addition, due to deductibles, self-retention levels and aggregate
coverage amounts applicable under the Company's insurance policies, the Company
will bear responsibility for a significant portion, if not all, of the defense
costs (which include attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in the defense of any
claim) and the related payments to satisfy any judgments associated with any
claim asserted against the Company in excess of any applicable coverage. The
settlement of a significant number of insured claims, the settlement of a claim
exceeding the Company's insurance coverage or the successful assertion or
settlement of an uninsured claim could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. There can be
no assurance that insurance will remain available, or, if available, will not be
prohibitively expensive. The deductible under the Company's insurance policies
is currently $250,000 per claim; however, prior to 1993, the deductible was $1.0
million per claim. Not all claims arising during the period in which the
Company's deductible was $1.0 million have been resolved and it is possible that
additional claims may be filed. The aggregate amount of liability under existing
and potential claims could exceed the reserves established by the Company for
product liability claims.


Product Recalls

Although the Company has not recently experienced a significant product recall,
the Company has, in the past, recalled certain bicycle models. If the Company
were required to make a significant product recall, such a recall could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. In common with the rest of the bicycle industry,
components fitted to its bicycles may be subject to a recall program of the
component supplier.


Liability For Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to a wide variety of governmental requirements related to
environmental protection including, among other things, the management of
hazardous substances and wastes. Although the Company has made and will continue
to make significant expenditures related to its environmental compliance
obligations, there can be no assurance that the Company will at all times be in
compliance with all such requirements. Moreover, the Company's existing and
historical operations, including the operations of its predecessors, expose the
Company to the risk of clean-up liabilities or environmental or personal injury
claims related to releases and emissions of hazardous substances and wastes.
Such liabilities and claims could require the Company to incur material costs
related to such releases or to the investigation or remediation of contaminated
property. Also, changes in existing environmental requirements or the imposition
of additional environmental liabilities related to existing or historical
operations could result in substantial cost to the Company.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On April 1, 1999 and June 1, 1999 the Company issued a total of 1,520 shares of
Class A and 380 shares of Class C common stock to executives of the Company for
a total of $1,900,000. 300 shares of Class A common stock issued to Gary
Matthews were, effective from the date of issue, converted to Class C common
stock.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENT, that each person whose signature appears below
