CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. From time to time, our public filings, press releases and other communications (such as
conference calls and presentations) will contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include
words such as may, will, should, outlook, project, intend, seek, plan, believe,
anticipate, expect, estimate, potential, continue, or opportunity, the negatives of
these words, or similar words or expressions. Similarly, statements that describe our future
plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. This is true of our description of
our acquisition strategy for example. It is also true of our statements concerning run rates,
which are estimates based upon a mixture of historical and projected results and forecasts provided
by third parties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and
unknown risks and uncertainties. Since our business, operations and strategies are subject to a
number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, actual results may differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements. Thus, for example, our future financial performance will depend significantly on our ability
to execute our acquisition strategy, which will be subject to many risks and uncertainties
including (but not limited to) the following:  
    we may be unable to identify, complete or integrate future acquisitions successfully;
    we compete for acquisition candidates with other purchasers, some of which have greater
financial resources and may be able to offer more favorable terms;
    revenue and other synergies from acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take
longer to realize than expected;
    we may not be able to improve internalization rates by directing waste volumes from
acquired businesses to our landfills for regulatory, business or other reasons;
    businesses that we acquire may have unknown liabilities and require unforeseen capital
expenditures;
    changes or disruptions associated with making acquisitions may make it more difficult
to maintain relationships with customers of the acquired businesses;
    in connection with financing acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness, or may
issue additional shares of our common stock which would dilute the ownership percentage of
existing stockholders; and
    rapid growth may strain our management, operational, financial and other resources. Our business is also subject to a number of operational risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual results of operations or our financial condition to differ from any
forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, the following:  
    we may not be able to obtain or maintain the permits necessary for operation and
expansion of our existing landfills or landfills that we might acquire or develop;
    our costs may increase for, or we may be unable to provide, necessary financial
assurances to governmental agencies under applicable environmental regulations relating to
our landfills;
    governmental regulations may require increased capital expenditures or otherwise affect
our business; 1


    our business is capital intensive, requiring ongoing cash outlays that may strain or
consume our available capital and we may not always have access to the additional capital
that we require to execute our growth strategy;
    possible changes in our estimates of site remediation requirements, final capping,
closure and post-closure obligations, compliance, regulatory developments and insurance
costs;
    the effect of limitations or bans on disposal or transportation of out-of-state waste
or certain categories of waste;
    increases in the costs of disposal, labor and fuel could reduce operating margins;
    increases in costs of insurance or failure to maintain full coverage could reduce
operating income;
    we are subject to environmental and safety laws, which restrict our operations and
increase our costs, and may impose significant unforeseen liabilities;
    we compete with large companies and municipalities with greater financial and
operational resources, and we also compete with alternatives to landfill disposal;
    covenants in our credit facilities and the instruments governing our other indebtedness
may limit our ability to grow our business and make capital expenditures;
    changes in interest rates may affect our results of operations;
    a downturn in U.S. economic conditions or the economic conditions in our markets may
have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations;
    failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and
stock price; and
    our success depends on key members of our senior management, the loss of any of whom
could disrupt our customer and business relationships and our operations. In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (sometimes referred to
in this report, including the notes to our financial statements, as the 10-K), we described these
and other risks in greater detail in the section entitled BusinessRisk Factors. We refer you to
that filing for additional information on these risks. The forward-looking statements included in this report are only made as of the date of this
report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements to reflect
subsequent events or circumstances. 2

WCA WASTE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(All tables in thousands, except per share data) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION WCA Waste Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, WCA or the Company) is a vertically
integrated, non-hazardous solid waste collection and disposal company. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for quarterly reports on Form
10-Q. Certain information relating to the Companys organization and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company
believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information
presented herein not misleading when read in conjunction with its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
March 24, 2005 which contains the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 reflect, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the
financial position and results of operations for such periods. Certain reclassifications have been
made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Please note,
however, operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
full years. For the description of the Companys significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in such Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany balances and
transactions. Prior to the Companys internal reorganization in the second quarter of 2004, the
Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Corporation of America, and the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for those periods have been prepared on a
carve-out basis to represent the net assets and related historical results of the Company as if it
were a stand-alone entity. General, administrative and overhead expenses have been allocated
between the Company and Waste Corporation of America to reflect each entitys portion of these
expenses. 2. ACQUISITIONS The Company completed the acquisition of Gecko Investments, LLC, located near suburban St. Louis,
Missouri, on January 11, 2005. Gecko includes a collection operation and a municipal solid waste
(MSW) landfill. Total consideration for this acquisition was approximately $12.2 million
consisting of $5.5 million in cash, $1.5 million in 8% convertible debt and 510,515 shares of
common stock valued at $5.2 million. Contemporaneously with the acquisition, certain sellers in
the Gecko transaction and related entities purchased $2.5 million in 8% convertible debt for a net
cash expenditure of $3.0 million. The purchase price for this transaction has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the time
of acquisition, with any residual amounts allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocations
are considered preliminary until the Company is no longer waiting for information that it has
arranged to obtain and that is known to be available or obtainable. The time required to obtain
the necessary information will vary with specific acquisitions, however, the final purchase price
allocation will not exceed one year from the consummation of the acquisition. The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the
acquired business from its acquisition date. The acquisition was not significant (within the
meaning of Regulation S-X) to the Company as a whole. 6

##### Table of Contents



Based on the preliminary assessments of values for this acquisition, the Company reflected landfill
cost of $10.5 million, identifiable intangibles of $0.7 million and goodwill of $0.3 million.
Identifiable intangibles include customer lists which are amortized over their expected lives of an
average of 20 years. In addition to the above acquisition, during the three months ended March, 31, 2005, the Company
remitted approximately $1.0 million in connection with an acquisition made in 2004 related to an
earn-out arrangement. The expenditure has been treated as additional purchase price and has been
allocated to goodwill. Additionally, during January 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire two
construction and demolition debris (C&D) landfills, two transfer stations and two materials
recovery facilities (MRFs) in North Carolina. This acquisition was completed on April 1, 2005 for
total consideration of approximately $38.5 million. An initial deposit payment in the amount of
$1.7 million was made during the three months ended March 31, 2005 with the balance due at the time
of closing. 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method prescribed
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Under this method, the Company recorded no compensation expense for stock
options granted to employees when the exercise price of the options is equal to or greater than the
fair market value of common stock on the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)) will result in recognition of compensation expense
beginning in the first quarter of 2006, and thus may impact the Companys future results of
operations. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and
has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair
value method described above. The fair value calculations at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model were calculated with the following weighted average assumptions: 2005

 Had compensation expense for the options granted to employees been determined based on the fair
value at the grant date, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income
and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been adjusted

 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. There were options and
warrants to purchase 678,603 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2005 and none
outstanding as of 7

are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, are excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations. The
computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: Three MonthsEnded March 31,2005

 As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $55.2 million outstanding under the revolving line of credit,
$22.2 million in direct pay letter of credit and $4.4 million in other letters of credit issued,
leaving $78.2 million in availability under its credit facility. The direct pay letter of credit
is used to secure the debt associated with the Companys tax-exempt Environmental Facilities
Revenue Bonds. The remainder of the credit facility will be used for acquisitions, equipment
purchases, landfill construction and development, standby letters of credit that the Company must
provide in the normal course of business and general corporate purposes. In connection with the January 2005 acquisition of Gecko Investments, LLC, the Company issued
convertible notes totaling $4.0 million. These notes and any accrued but unpaid interest are
convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $10.37 per
share. The Company can force conversion if the 8

closing price of the Companys common stock exceeds $15.00 per share one year after their
respective issuance date. New Credit Agreements On April 28, 2005 (the Closing Date), WCA Waste Systems, Inc. (WSI), the primary operating
subsidiary of the Company, replaced its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
December 21, 2004 (the Fourth Restated Credit Agreement), by entering into a First Lien Credit
Agreement (the First Lien Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells
Fargo), as administrative agent, Comerica Bank, as syndication agent, and the lenders party
thereto. On the Closing Date, WSI also entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the Second
Lien Credit Agreement and together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreements)
with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and Ares Capital Corporation, as the primary lender. The
following is a summary description of certain material terms of the Credit Agreements and, as such,
is not complete. Please also refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesCredit Facility for more information on
the Credit Agreements. The aggregate revolving credit commitments available under the First Lien Credit Agreement total
$175 million, consisting of a $75 million revolving line of credit and a $100 million Term B loan
(the Term B Loan). The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for a second lien term loan in the
amount of $25 million (the Second Lien Term Loan). Accordingly, the total credit available
immediately under the Credit Agreements is $200 million. The proceeds of the Credit Agreements
will be used for acquisitions, equipment purchases, landfill construction and development, standby
letters of credit and general corporate purposes. Subcategories under the revolving line of credit
include a subfacility for standby letters of credit in the aggregate principal amount of up to $30
million and a swing line feature for up to $10 million for same day advances. The revolving credit
loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement will mature on April 28, 2010 and the Term B Loan will
mature on April 28, 2011 unless the commitments thereunder are terminated or prepaid in full at an
earlier date. The Second Lien Credit Agreement will mature on October 28, 2011. The credit
facilities bear interest at a base rate plus a variable margin rate depending on the overall
leverage ration of the Company at the time of renewal. As of April 29, 2005, WSI had fully drawn down the Term B Loan and the Second Lien Term Loan and
had utilized approximately $26.9 million of the revolving facility for letters of credit, leaving
it with $48.1 million in availability under the First Lien Credit Agreement revolving credit loan.
This resulted in the Company having approximately $30.0 million in cash on hand. In connection
with the closing of the new credit facilities, the Company will incur a charge to its earnings
related to the write-off of a portion of its deferred financing costs during the second quarter of
2005. 6. LANDFILL ACCOUNTING Capitalized Landfill Costs At March 31, 2005, the Company owned seven MSW landfills and eight C&D landfills. One MSW landfill
and one C&D landfill are fully permitted but not constructed and have not yet commenced operations
as of March 31, 2005. Capitalized landfill costs include expenditures for the acquisition of land and related airspace,
engineering and permitting costs, cell construction costs and direct site improvement costs. At
March 31, 2005, no capitalized interest had been included in capitalized landfill costs, however,
in the future interest could be capitalized on landfill construction projects but only during the
period the assets are undergoing activities to ready them for their intended use. Capitalized
landfill costs are amortized ratably using the units-of-production method over the estimated useful
life of the site as airspace of the landfill is consumed. Landfill amortization rates are
determined periodically (not less than annually) based on ground surveys and other density measures
and estimates made by the Companys engineers, outside engineers, management and financial
personnel. Total available airspace includes the total of estimated permitted airspace plus an estimate of
probable expansion airspace that the Company believes is likely to be permitted. Where the Company
believes permit expansions are probable, the expansion airspace, and the projected costs related to
developing the 9

##### Table of Contents



expansion airspace are included in the airspace amortization rate calculation. The
criteria the Company uses to determine if permit expansion is probable include but are not limited
to whether: (i) the Company believes the project has fatal flaws; (ii) the land is owned or
controlled by the Company, or under option agreement; (iii) the Company has committed to the
expansion; (iv) financial analysis has been completed and the results indicate that the expansion
has the prospect of a positive financial and operational impact; (v) personnel are actively working
to obtain land use, local and state approvals for an expansion; (vi) the Company believes that the
permit is likely to be received; and (vii) the Company believes that the timeframe to complete the
permitting is reasonable. The Company may be unsuccessful in obtaining expansion permits for airspace that has been
considered permitted. If unsuccessful in obtaining these permits, the previously capitalized costs
will be charged to expense. Closure and Post-Closure Obligations The Company has material financial commitments for the costs associated with its future obligations
for final closure, which is the closure of the landfill and the capping of the final uncapped areas
of a landfill and post-closure maintenance of those facilities, which is generally expected to be
for a period of up to 30 years for MSW facilities and up to five years for C&D facilities after
final site closure. The impact of changes determined to be changes in estimates, based on an annual update, is
accounted for on a prospective basis. The Companys ultimate liability for such costs may increase
in the future as a result of changes in estimates, legislation, or regulations. The following table rolls forward the net landfill and closure and post-closure liabilities from
December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. Landfill

 The Companys total anticipated cost for closure and post-closure activities is $92.2 million, as
measured in current dollars. The Company believes the amount and timing of these activities are
reasonably estimable. Where the Company believes that both the amount of a particular closure and
post-closure liability and the timing of the payments are reliably determinable, the cost, in
current dollars, is inflated 2.5% until expected time of payment and then discounted to present
value at 8.5%. Accretion expense is applied to the closure and post-closure liability based on the
effective interest method and is included in cost of services. Had the Company not discounted any
portion of its liability, the amount recorded would have been $11.1 million and $9.9 million at
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. 7. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and
their 10

respective tax bases based on enacted tax rates. The Company provides a valuation allowance
when, based on managements estimates, it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will
not be realized in future periods. Income taxes have been provided for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 based upon the Companys anticipated 2005 annual effective income tax rate of
39.44%. Such rate differs from the statutory rate of 34% due to state income taxes and estimates
of non-deductible expenses. 8. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY On January 11, 2005, the Company issued 510,515 new shares at an aggregate price of $10.26 per
share to Gecko Investments as partial consideration for the acquisition. During March 2005, the
Company issued 123,821 restricted shares which vest over three years from the issue date. The
following table reflects the changes in stockholders equity from December 31, 2004 to March 31,

 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings In July 2004, the Company filed Waste Corporation of Missouri, Inc. v. Lafarge Corporation and
Lafarge North America, Inc., Case No. 04-4140-CV-C-SOW, in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri. The lawsuit involves a mining lease covering a portion of the
expansion area of the Companys Central Missouri Landfill. If the parties do not settle the
lawsuit, and the Company is unsuccessful in the lawsuit, its expansion at the Central Missouri
Landfill could be adversely affected by its inability to utilize all or part of the land and
associated airspace affected by this lease. Even if the Company is successful, it may incur
substantially higher capital costs than previously expected to utilize this airspace, as it will be
required to conduct its own excavation on these lands. The Company is a party to various general legal proceedings which have risen in the ordinary course
of business. While the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company
believes that losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have
a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows. However, unfavorable resolution could affect the consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows for the quarterly period in which they are resolved. Additionally, in the normal course of business and as a result of the extensive governmental
regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company may periodically become subject to various
judicial and administrative proceedings involving federal, state or local agencies. In these
proceedings, an agency may seek to impose fines on the Company or to revoke or deny renewal of an
operating permit it holds. From time to time, the Company may also be subject to actions brought
by citizens groups or adjacent landowners or residents in connection with the permitting and
licensing of landfills and transfer stations the Company owns or operates or alleging environmental
damage or violations of the permits and licenses pursuant to which the Company operates. No
assurance can be given with respect to the outcome of any such proceedings or the effect such
outcomes may have on the Company, or that the Companys insurance coverage would be adequate.
Although the Company is unable to estimate any possible losses, a significant judgment against the
Company, the loss of significant permits or licenses or the imposition of a significant fine could
have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and
prospects. Moreover, the Company may become party to various claims and suits pending for alleged damages to
persons and property, alleged violations of certain laws and alleged liabilities arising out of
matters occurring during the normal operation of a waste management business. Except for routine
litigation incidental to our business, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the
Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject. Although the Company is unable to
estimate any possible losses, management believes that the outcome of the proceedings to which the
Company is currently a party will not have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition,

affect the consolidated results of operations or cash flows for the quarterly period in which they

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In
addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto and related Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in our annual report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2004 as
filed with the SEC on March 24, 2005. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding some of these risks and
uncertainties please read Risk Factors and Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this quarterly report onForm 10-Qto WCA
Waste, we, us or our refer to WCA Waste Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis. Overview We are a vertically integrated, non-hazardous solid waste management company providing
non-hazardous construction/demolition, industrial and municipal solid waste collection, transfer,
processing, and disposal services in the south and central regions of the United States. As of
March 31, 2005, we served approximately 150,000 commercial, industrial and residential customers in
Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. We serve our customers
through 20 collection operations, 13 transfer stations, seven municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills
and eight construction and demolition (C&D) landfills. One of our transfer stations, one MSW
landfill and one C&D landfill, are fully permitted but have not yet commenced operations.
Additionally, we currently operate but do not own two of the transfer stations, and we hold certain
prepaid disposal rights at landfills in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas owned and operated by one of
our competitors. Acquisition Strategy Our future financial performance will significantly depend on successful implementation of our
strategy of acquisitions in our existing markets and selected additional markets. In markets where
we already own a landfill, we intend to focus on expanding our presence by acquiring smaller
companies that also operate in that market or in adjacent markets (tuck in acquisitions).
Tuck-in acquisitions will allow growth in revenue and increase market share and enable integration
and consolidation of duplicative facilities and functions to maximize cost efficiencies and
economies-of-scale. We will typically seek to enter a new market by acquiring a permitted landfill
operation in that market. Upon acquiring a landfill in a new market, we then intend to expand our
operations by acquiring collection operations and internalizing waste into the landfill. We intend to pursue our acquisition strategy with the borrowing capacity under our $200
million combined credit facility entered into in April 2005. We expect that our acquisition
strategy will result in an annual revenue run rate of approximately $200 million and will triple
our annual EBITDA run rate to approximately $60 million over the next three to four years. Run
rate determinations are not audited or based on GAAP and are made based on estimations from
information provided to us. Management determines the period over which to calculate a run rate
based on factors they deem to be reasonable. Actual revenues may or may not equal the estimated
run rate. Please read Risk Factors and Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements.
We intend to pay for our acquisitions primarily with cash, including borrowings under our credit
facilities. We may also issue shares of common stock in connection with acquisitions. From our initial public offering in June 2004 through the three month ended March 31, 2005, we
completed eight acquisitions. The purchase price for these acquisitions consisted of $34.3 million
of cash, $7.0 million of convertible debt and 773,673 restricted shares of our common stock. The

    Collection & Landfill
 After giving effect to these acquisitions, at March 31, 2005, we operated a total of 15
landfills, 20 collection operations and 13 transfer stations, had approximately 240 routes and
handled approximately 6,200 landfill tons per day at our landfills. On April 1, 2005, we acquired certain assets of MRR Southern, LLC for approximately $38.5
million (subject to certain working capital adjustments). We may also be required to pay up to an
additional $3.0 million upon the achievement of certain earn-out provisions. This acquisition
consisted of two C&D landfills in High Point, North Carolina and Wake County, North Carolina, two
transfer stations (one combined with a materials recovery facility (MRF)) in Wake County, North
Carolina, and one MRF in High Point, North Carolina. This acquisition expanded our presence into
the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina and Winston-Salem/Greensboro, North Carolina market areas. Additionally, we have entered into definitive agreements with four separate companies that
will collectively have estimated annualized run rate revenue of approximately $4.6 million that are
expected to be consummated by May 31, 2005. We are also currently negotiating the terms of an
extension to an existing letter of intent with a company that, if acquired, would add an additional
$9 million in run rate revenue. We also have several ongoing negotiations with other waste
companies concerning potential acquisitions. The integration expenses associated with our acquisitions include expenses related to (i)
incorporating new truck fleets into our preventative maintenance program, (ii) the testing of new
employees to comply with Department of Transportation regulations, (iii) implementing our safety
program, and (iv) re-routing trucks and equipment. We expect that our acquisition program will
significantly increase revenue and profit over the long-term. In the short-term, as expected, the
cost of acquiring and integrating companies will continue to put pressure on operating results.
Some synergies from tuck-in acquisitions can take as long as 12 months to be realized. General Our operations consist of the collection, transfer and disposal of non-hazardous construction
and demolition debris and industrial and municipal solid waste. Our revenues are generated
primarily from our collection operations to residential, commercial and roll-off customers and
landfill disposal services. Roll-off service is the hauling and disposal of large waste containers
(typically between 10 and 50 cubic yards) that are loaded on to and off of the collection vehicle.
Including first quarter acquisitions, our revenue segmentation (before elimination of intercompany
revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 54.2% collection operations, 32.9% disposal,
12.9% transfer and other as compared to 51.5% collection operations, 36.9% disposal and 11.6%
transfer and other for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The following table reflects our
total revenue by source for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands): Three MonthsEnded March 31,2005

Please read Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for certain geographic
information related to our operations. We are currently evaluating the disposal prices that we charge at our 17 landfills (including
landfills acquired from MRR) because we believe that improving landfill pricing could be an
important factor in the long-term value of our landfills and in improving our operating results. Costs of services include, but are not limited to, labor, fuel and other operating expenses,
equipment maintenance, disposal fees paid to third-party disposal facilities, insurance premiums
and claims expense, selling expenses, wages and salaries of field personnel located at operating
facilities, third-party transportation expense and state and local waste taxes. We are self
insured for a portion of our general liability, workers compensation and automobile liability.
The frequency and amount of claims or incidents could vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter
and/or year-to-year, resulting in increased volatility of our costs of services. General and administrative expense includes the salaries and benefits of our corporate
employees, certain centralized reporting and cash management costs and other overhead costs
associated with our corporate office. Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets and amortization
of intangible assets over their useful lives using the straight-line method. We capitalize third-party expenditures related to pending acquisitions, such as legal,
engineering, and accounting expenses, and certain direct expenditures such as travel costs. We
expense indirect acquisition costs, such as salaries and other corporate services, as we incur
them. We routinely evaluate all capitalized costs, and expense those related to projects that we
believe are not likely to succeed. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of
the acquired entities. In allocating the purchase price of an acquired company among its assets,
we first assign value to the tangible assets, followed by intangible assets such as customer
relationships and covenants not to compete and any remaining amounts are then allocated to
goodwill. Non-GAAP measures. Our management evaluates our performance and potential acquisition
candidates based on non-GAAP measures, of which the primary performance measure is EBITDA. EBITDA
consists of earnings (net income) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization. We also compute EBITDA before the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle and before considering the effect of discontinued operations as the effect of these items
are not relevant to our ongoing operations. We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because:  
    it is widely used by investors in our industry to measure a companys operating
performance without regard to items such as interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon
accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the
method by which assets were acquired;
    it helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations
from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest
charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization
of our landfills and vehicles) from our operating results; and
    it helps investors identify items that are within operational control. Depreciation
charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset
purchase in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not
a directly controllable period operating charge. 15

Our management uses EBITDA:  
    as a measure of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our
performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of our capital structure and
asset base from our operating results;
    as one method we use to estimate a purchase price (often expressed as a multiple of
EBITDA) for solid waste companies we intend to acquire. The appropriate EBITDA multiple
will vary from acquisition to acquisition depending on factors such as the size of the
operation, the type of operation, the anticipated growth in the market, the strategic
location of the operation in its market as well as other considerations;
    in presentations to our board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent
measurement basis of operating performance used by management;
    as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating
actual results against such expectations;
    in evaluations of field operations since it represents operational performance and
takes into account financial measures within the control of the field operating units;
    as a basis for incentive cash bonuses paid to our executive officers and other employees;
    to assess compliance with financial ratios and covenants included in our credit facility; and
    in communications with investors, lenders, and others, concerning our financial performance. In March 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission, adopted rules regulating
the use of non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, in filings with the Commission, disclosures
and press releases. These rules require non-GAAP financial measures to be presented with and
reconciled to the most nearly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP. The following presents a reconciliation of the total EBITDA to net income (in

 In considering EBITDA results, our management also takes various adjustments (especially
for non-operational expenses) into account in evaluating performance in order to provide it with
what it believes to be a better view of ongoing operational performance. Thus, for example, in our
evaluations we exclude the stock-based compensation charge of $30,000 ($20,000 net of tax benefit)
in the prior year period as these are non-cash charges related to our former parent companys
outstanding stock option plan. We make similar adjustments in evaluating acquisition candidates
for non-recurring items. The following presents a reconciliation of EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA (in
thousands): Three months endedMarch 31,2005

 Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we define them, may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance
with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for 16

 Revenue.Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $7.0 million, or
44.0%, to $22.9 million from $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Acquisitions
contributed $5.4 million of the increase while internal volume growth contributed $0.9 million,
operational price increases contributed $0.4 million, and pricing from fuel surcharges added $0.3
million. Cost of services.Total cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased
$5.2 million, or 49.1%, to $15.7 million from $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2004. Acquisitions and integration costs accounted for a majority of the increased cost of
services. Additional cost increases were experienced with the increased cost of fuel. Moreover,
fuel costs as a percentage of revenue increased from 4.2% in the first quarter of 2004 to 5.9% in
the first quarter of 2005. Through our fuel surcharge, we have been able to recapture
approximately 64% of these increased fuel costs. Depreciation and amortization.Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 increased $0.9 million, or 46.8%, to $2.8 million from $1.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2004. These increases can be attributed to acquisitions and increased
amortization corresponding with increased landfill volumes. Other general and administrative.Total other general and administrative expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $0.5 million, or 39.5%, to $1.7 million from $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to
increased administrative costs associated with being a public company, including legal, accounting,
printing, travel, insurance and other costs, and our ongoing acquisition program. Interest expense, net.Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2005
increased $0.1 million, or 6.7%, to $1.4 million from $1.3 million for the same period in 2004.
The increase relates to the higher average debt balance due to additional borrowings under our
credit facility as well as seller notes issued in connection with acquisitions. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our business and industry is capital intensive requiring capital for equipment purchases,
landfill construction and development, and landfill closure activities in the future. Our planned
acquisition strategy 17

will also require significant capital. We plan to meet our future capital needs primarily through
cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facility. We plan
to meet the capital requirements of our acquisition strategy from a variety of sources including
cash on hand, borrowing capacity under our credit facility, seller notes, equity financings and
debt financings. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we completed one acquisition. Total
consideration for this acquisition was approximately $12.2 million consisting of $5.5 million in
cash, $1.5 million in 8% convertible debt and the issuance of 510,515 shares of common stock valued
at $5.2 million. Contemporaneously with the acquisition, certain sellers and related entities
purchased $2.5 million in 8% convertible debt. An additional payment of $1.0 million related to an
earn-out provision for a 2004 acquisition was also made during the quarter. In addition, during
the three months ended March 31, 2005, we made a deposit of $1.7 million on an acquisition which
was completed on April 1, 2005. These funds came primarily from the use of our revolving credit
facility as well as cash flow from operations. As of March 31, 2005, we had total outstanding debt of approximately $85.2 million, consisting
primarily of approximately $22.2 million of tax-exempt environmental facilities revenue bonds,
approximately $55.2 million outstanding under our credit facility and approximately $7.4 million of
various seller notes associated with acquisitions. This represented an increase of $11.9 million
over our total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The increase in outstanding debt since
December 31, 2004 was due primarily to amounts paid in connection with acquisitions. As of March 31, 2005, we had a working capital surplus of $1.8 million which had improved $3.3
million from a working capital deficit of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2004. The improvement is
primarily due to timing differences in collection of receivables and payments of current
liabilities. Our credit facility includes a swing-line feature, which monitors cash requirements
or excesses on a daily basis. After meeting current working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, our cash strategy is to use the swing-line feature of our credit facility to maintain
a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance and use excess cash to reduce our indebtedness under
the credit facility. Credit Facility On April 28, 2005 (the Closing Date), WCA Waste Systems, Inc. (WSI), our primary operating
subsidiary, replaced its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21,
2004 (the Fourth Restated Credit Agreement), by entering into a First Lien Credit Agreement (the
First Lien Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo), as
administrative agent, Comerica Bank, as syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto. On the
Closing Date, WSI also entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the Second Lien Credit
Agreement and together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreements) with Wells
Fargo, as administrative agent, and Ares Capital Corporation, as the primary lender. In connection
with the closing of the Credit Agreements, we will incur a charge to earnings related to the
write-off of a portion of our deferred financing costs during the second quarter of 2005. The following is a summary description of the material terms of the Credit Agreements and, as
such, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.12 and 10.13 to
this quarterly report. The aggregate credit commitments available under the Credit Agreements total $200 million and
include:  
    a $75 million revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement,
including subfacilities for:  o
    standby letters of credit in the aggregate principal amount of
up to $30.0 million; ando
    a swing line feature for up to $10.0 million for same day advances;  
    a $100 million Term B loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement (the Term B Loan); and
    a $25 million second lien term loan under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the Second
Lien Term Loan). 18

##### Table of Contents



WSI has the right to increase either the revolving or the Term B Loan under the First Lien
Credit Agreement by an additional $25 million subject to certain conditions. As of April 29, 2005, WSI had fully drawn down the Term B Loan and the Second Lien Term Loan
and had utilized approximately $26.9 million of the revolving facility for letters of credit,
leaving it with approximately $30.0 million in cash on hand and $48.1 million in availability under
the First Lien Credit Agreement revolving credit loan. WSI must make mandatory prepayments of outstanding indebtedness under the First Lien Credit
Agreement in the amount of: (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of certain assets that are not
replaced; (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of any subordinated debt to the extent
that such proceeds exceed $30 million (the terms of which must be satisfactory to Wells Fargo and a
majority of the lenders); (iii) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of any common stock of WCA Waste to the
extent that such proceeds exceeds $65 million; and (iv) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of any preferred stock or other non-common
stock equity offering of WCA Waste. These payments are applied, first, to amounts owing on the Term B loan in the inverse order of
maturity. WSI must make comparable paydowns on the Second Lien Credit Agreement after payment in
full of the First Lien Credit Agreement. The revolving credit loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement will mature on April 28, 2010
and the Term B Loan will mature on April 28, 2011 unless the commitments thereunder are terminated
or prepaid in full at an earlier date. The Second Lien Credit Agreement will mature on October 28,
2011. WSIs obligations under the Credit Agreements are secured by the capital stock of our
subsidiaries and all tangible (including real estate) and intangible assets belonging to us and our
subsidiaries. The obligations are also guaranteed by certain material subsidiaries of WCA Waste.
Obligations under the Credit Agreements are recourse obligations and are subject to cancellation
and/or acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among other things, a change
of control (as defined in the Credit Agreements), nonpayment, breaches of representations,
warranties and covenants (subject to cure periods in certain instances), bankruptcy or insolvency,
defaults under other debt arrangements, failure to pay certain judgments and the occurrence of
events creating material adverse effects. Indebtedness under any base rate loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) carries
interest at the higher of (i) the effective federal funds rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit
Agreement) plus 1/2 of 1% or (ii) the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by
Wells Fargo, in San Francisco, California as its prime rate, plus the applicable margin for base
rate loans (ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the leverage ratio). Indebtedness under any
LIBOR loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) carries interest at a rate per year (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100
of 1%) determined by the administrative agent to be equal to the quotient of (a) LIBOR (as defined
in the First Lien Credit Agreement) divided by (b) one minus the reserve requirement (as defined in
the First Lien Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans (ranging from 1.75% to
3.00% depending on the leverage ratio). The commitment fee payable by WSI to the administrative
agent for the benefit of the lenders on the daily average unused amount of the aggregate revolving
credit commitment under the First Lien Credit Agreement ranges from 0.250% to 0.500% depending on WSIs leverage ratio. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains numerous covenants with which WSI and the
subsidiaries consolidated must comply, including several financial covenants and ratios. These
include a leverage test, a senior leverage test, a net worth requirement and an adjusted EBIT test.
The maximum leverage ratio (the ratio of funded debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA) under the First
Lien Credit Agreement must be not more than 5.00 to 1.00 until March 31, 2007, and 4.75 to 1.00 or
less thereafter. The maximum senior funded debt leverage ratio under the First Lien Credit
Agreement (the ratio of funded senior debt (all funded debt other than subordinated debt) to pro
forma adjusted EBITDA) must be 4.25 to 1.00 or less from 19

the Closing Date through the quarter ending March 31, 2007, decreasing in stages to a maximum
of 3.25 to 1.0 or less for the quarter ending September 30, 2008 and for all quarters thereafter.
The minimum net worth (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) under the First Lien Credit
Agreement is 85% of net worth on June 30, 2004, plus 50% of positive net income, plus 100% of the
increase to net worth from the net cash proceeds from equity offerings, in each case, since June
30, 2004. The adjusted EBIT debt service ratio is the ratio of (i) adjusted EBIT (as defined in the
First Lien Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date to (ii) (w) cash
interest expense, plus (x) the current portion of capitalized leases for the following four fiscal
quarters, plus (y) the current portion of principal payments of debt (as defined in the First Lien
Credit Agreement) (excluding payments under the revolving credit notes under the First Lien Credit
Agreement), required to be paid for the following four fiscal quarters plus (z) dividends paid by
WSI to or for the benefit of WCA Waste to be used to pay the debt of WCA Waste. The required
minimum adjusted EBIT debt service ratio under the First Lien Credit Agreement starts at a minimum
of 1.25 to 1.00 from the Closing Date until the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007 and must
be at least 1.50 to 1.00 at all times thereafter. The leverage ratio is measured at the level of
WCA Waste and all of its subsidiaries, while the senior debt leverage ratio, Adjusted EBIT debt
service ratio and all other financial ratios and tests are measured only from the level of WSI and
its subsidiaries and exclude WCA Waste and other entities above WSI. Under the First Lien Credit Agreement, there is no limit for acquisition or expansion capital
expenditures provided that the leverage ratio remains below 3.75 to 1.00 and $10 million is
available under the revolving credit facility after the applicable expenditure. However, if the
leverage ratio exceeds 3.75 to 1.00, the amount of an acquisition expenditure shall be limited to
20% of WCA Wastes net worth unless expenditures above that amount are approved by a majority of
the lenders. The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains obligations, covenants and restrictions similar to
the First Lien Credit Agreement, and the same are designed to work together, provided, the
financial ratios and tests in the Second Lien Credit Agreement are slightly more favorable to WSI,
meaning that any violation of these tests or ratios would, in all probability, result in a default
under the First Lien Credit Agreement before a default occurs under the Second Lien Credit
Agreement. Other covenants in the Credit Agreements limit our ability and certain of our subsidiaries to,
among other things: (i) create, incur, assume or permit to exist certain liens; (ii) make certain
investments, loans and advances; (iii) enter into any sale-leaseback transactions; (iv) materially
change the nature of our business; (v) create, incur, assume or permit to exist certain leases;
(vi) merge into or with or consolidate with any other person; (vii) sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of our property or assets; (viii) discount or sell any of our
notes or accounts receivable; (ix) transact business with affiliates unless in the ordinary course
of business and on arms length basis; (x) make certain negative pledges; and (xi) amend,
supplement or otherwise modify the terms of any debt or prepay, redeem or repurchase any
subordinated debt. Included in such covenants is a prohibition against the payment of cash
dividends by WSI to WCA Waste (or any intermediary) except for the limited purposes of debt
repayment, meaning WCA Waste has very limited sources of cash. WCA Wastes only source of cash to
pay dividends is distributions from its subsidiaries and, therefore, its ability to declare or pay
future cash dividends on its common stock would be subject to, among other factors, a relaxation of
this prohibition. Contractual Obligations There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of our business during the three
months ended March 31, 2005 to the other items listed in the Contractual Obligations table included
in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2005. However, as noted above, subsequent to March 31, 2005, in connection with the execution of the
Credit Agreements and our North Carolina acquisition, our total debt increased to $155.0 million as
of April 30, 2005, as compared to $85.2 million as of March 31, 2005. Cash Flows The changes in cash flows from operating activities are primarily due to changes in the
components of working capital from period to period. The changes in working capital components
were impacted by the continued expansion of our business. Other items impacting operating cash
flows include depreciation and 20

amortization as well as a portion of the stock-based compensation expense, each of which were
non-cash expenses. Cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
was $2.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures and
the acquisition of businesses. Cash used for capital expenditures, including acquisitions, was
$9.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Investing cash flows in the three months ended March 31, 2005 also include a $1.7 million deposit
on an acquisition completed on April 1, 2005, in addition to other costs associated with possible
acquisitions. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
include borrowings under our credit facilities, repayments of debt in all periods, distributions to
our former parent and financing costs associated with amendments to our credit facility in all
periods. Proceeds from financing include the net proceeds from the use of the credit facility and
seller notes. Landfill Accounting Policy Capitalized Landfill Costs At March 31, 2005, the Company owned seven MSW landfills and eight C&D landfills. One MSW
landfill and one C&D landfill are fully permitted but not constructed and have not yet commenced
operations as of March 31, 2005. Capitalized landfill costs include expenditures for the acquisition of land and airspace,
engineering and permitting costs, cell construction costs and direct site improvement costs. As of
March 31, 2005, no capitalized interest had been included in capitalized landfill costs. However,
in the future interest could be capitalized on landfill construction projects but only during the
period the assets are undergoing activities to ready them for their intended use. Capitalized
landfill costs are amortized ratably using the units-of- production method over the estimated
useful life of the site as airspace of the landfill is consumed. Landfill amortization rates are
determined periodically (not less than annually) based on aerial and ground surveys and other
density measures and estimates made by our internal and third-party engineers. Total available airspace includes the total of estimated permitted airspace plus an estimate
of probable expansion airspace that we believe is likely to be permitted. Where we believe permit
expansions are probable, the expansion airspace, and the projected costs related to developing the
expansion airspace are included in the airspace amortization rate calculation. The criteria we use
to determine if permit expansion is probable include but, are not limited to, whether:  
    we believe that the project has fatal flaws;
    the land is owned or controlled by us, or under option agreement;
    we have committed to the expansion;
    financial analysis has been completed, and the results indicate that the expansion
has the prospect of a positive financial and operational impact;
    personnel are actively working to obtain land use, local and state approvals for an
expansion of an existing landfill;
    we believe the permit is likely to be received; and
    we believe that the timeframe to complete the permitting is reasonable. We may be unsuccessful in obtaining expansion permits for airspace that has been considered
probable. If unsuccessful in obtaining these permits, the previously capitalized costs will be
charged to expense. As of March 31, 2005, we have included 56 million cubic yards of expansion
airspace with estimated development costs of approximately $53.4 million in our calculation of the
rates used for the amortization of landfill costs. 21

Closure and Post-Closure Obligations We have material financial commitments for the costs associated with our future obligations
for final closure, which is the closure of the landfill, the capping of the final uncapped areas of
a landfill and post-closure maintenance of those facilities, which is generally expected to be for
a period of up to 30 years for MSW facilities and up to five years for C&D facilities. On January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
(SFAS No. 143), which provides standards for accounting for obligations associated with the
retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Generally, the
requirements for recording closure and post-closure obligations under SFAS No. 143 are as follows:  
    Landfill closure and post-closure liabilities are calculated by estimating the total
obligation in current dollars. Cost estimates equate the costs of third parties
performing the work. Any portion of the estimates which are based on activities being
performed internally are increased to reflect a profit margin a third party would receive
to perform the same activity. This profit margin will be taken to income once the work is
performed internally.
    The total obligation is carried at the net present value of future cash flows, which is
calculated by inflating the obligation based upon the expected date of the expenditure
using an inflation rate and discounting the inflated total to its present value using a
discount rate. The discount rate represents our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The
resulting closure and post-closure obligation is recorded as an increase in this liability
as airspace is consumed.
    Accretion expense is calculated based on the discount rate and is charged to cost of
services and increases the related closure and post-closure obligation. This expense will
generally be less during the early portion of a landfills operating life and increase
thereafter. The following table sets forth the rates we used for the amortization of landfill costs and
the accrual of closure and post-closure costs for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the
year ended December 31, 2004: Three Months

future as a result of changes in estimates, legislation, or regulations. 22

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We do not currently have any arrangements in place to reduce market exposure with respect to
interest rates under our outstanding debt that bears interest at variable or floating rates.
Therefore, we bear exposure to increases in interest rates and our major market risk exposure is
changing interest rates and fluctuations in LIBOR. We have entered into interest rate swap
agreements in the past, but not for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2005, we had debt
outstanding that bears interest at variable or floating rates of approximately $77.4 million as
compared to approximately $69.4 million as of December 31, 2004. Based on our outstanding variable
or floating rate debt at March 31, 2005, if interest rates were to change by 100 basis points, or
1%, this would result in a corresponding change of $0.8 million in annual interest charges. As of March 31, 2005, we were exposed to cash flow risk due to changes in interest rates with
respect to $55.2 million in outstanding floating rate based loans under our credit facility and
$22.2 million of tax-exempt bonds. Please read Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Credit Facility included elsewhere in the quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for a discussion of our credit facility. 
 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective as of March 31, 2005 in ensuring that the information required to be
disclosed by us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) in the reports that we file or submit
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and
forms. Based on an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended March
31, 2005, identified in connection with that evaluation, that has materially affected, or that is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 23
