1.    Overview

Description of business

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., is a leading global manufacturer of body sealing, fluid handling, and noise, vibration and harshness control ("NVH") components, systems, subsystems and modules, primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks for global original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.

Change in ownership

The Company acquired the Automotive segment of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company ("Cooper Tire") on December 23, 2004 for a cash purchase price of $1,165 million, subject to adjustment based on the amount of cash and cash equivalents less debt obligations and the difference between targeted working capital and working capital at the closing date (hereafter, the "Acquisition"). Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $24 million of direct acquisition costs, principally for investment banking, legal and other professional services, for a total purchase price of $1,250 million. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 includes a deferred purchase price payment of $53 million related to the estimated settlement of a post-closing working capital adjustment. Final settlement of the working capital adjustment resulted in a payment of $54 million in April 2005.

At closing, the Company funded the Acquisition through $318 million of equity contributions, $200 million of senior notes (the "Senior Notes"), $350 million of senior subordinated notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") and revolving credit and term loan facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") of $350 million. The Company incurred approximately $28 million of issuance costs associated with these borrowings, which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company amortizes such costs over the terms of the related borrowings.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited combined and consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 as of December 31, 2004, as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. As a result of the Acquisition on December 23, 2004, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the Acquisition under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141").

The following provides a description of the basis of presentation during all periods presented:

Predecessor:    Represents the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Automotive segment of Cooper Tire for all periods prior to the Acquisition on December 23, 2004. This presentation reflects the historical basis of accounting without any application of purchase accounting for the Acquisition.

Successor:    Represents our consolidated financial position and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for periods following the Acquisition. The financial position as of June 30,

NOTES TO COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

2005, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and cash flows for the six months then ended reflect the preliminary application of purchase accounting relating to the Acquisition and the adjustments required to reflect the assets and liabilities not acquired in the Acquisition and the adjustments for domestic pension liabilities previously held by Cooper Tire.

The combined statements of operations include expenses recorded by the Predecessor or directly charged to the Predecessor by Cooper Tire for periods prior to the Acquisition. In addition, the combined statements of operations include an allocation of certain general and administrative corporate expenses from Cooper Tire. These services primarily consisted of compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, legal services, purchasing, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, treasury services and general corporate management. These allocations totaled $3,719 and $7,438 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The allocations were determined based on specific services being provided or were allocated based on net sales, headcount, assets or a combination of these factors and are reported in cost of products sold and selling, administration and engineering expenses in the combined statements of income. In addition, Cooper Tire charged the Predecessor market rate interest expense on net intercompany advances of $654 and $1,907 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

The domestic operations of the Predecessor were included in the United States consolidated tax returns of Cooper Tire with current taxes refundable and payable reported in advances from Cooper Tire through the date of the Acquisition. The Predecessor's provisions for income taxes were computed on a basis consistent with separate returns.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock option plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The following table illustrates the effect on net income as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," had been applied. Amounts related to the Predecessor period represent stock options granted by Cooper Tire to employees of the Predecessor. Amounts related to the Successor period relate to stock options granted by the Company.

The fair value for options awarded was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

				Predecessor				Successor				Predecessor				Successor
				Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
				2004				2005				2004				2005
Risk-free interest rate					2.2	%			3.7	%			2.2	%			3.7	%
Dividend yield					2.1	%			0.0	%			2.1	%			0.0	%
Expected volatility					34.0	%			0.0	%			34.0	%			0.0	%
Expected life (in years)					4.7				6.0				4.7				6.0

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. As a result of changing to a net presentation of cash held in our global cash management vehicle, which we use to pool cash funds from foreign subsidiaries, cash and debt payable within one year both decreased by $79,230 at December 31, 2004 as compared to the previous classification. Additionally, we reclassified our presentation of the statement of cash flows related to non-cash restructuring charges and proceeds from the sale of certain assets. This reclassification increased net cash provided by operating activities by $2,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the previous classification with a corresponding decrease to net cash used in investing activities.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 109-2 "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004", which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the foreign earnings repatriation provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Act provides a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. FSP 109-2 provides for a period of time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment for a company to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of one-time repatriation opportunities provided by the Act. At the time of filing these statements, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the income tax effects of such repatriation under the Act.

2.    Goodwill and Intangibles

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $402,598 at December 31, 2004. The Company increased goodwill by $1,368 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of the settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment and other purchase price allocation adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities. Due to the close proximity of the Acquisition to the reporting period and the pending completion of the purchase price allocation, goodwill has not been allocated to the applicable reporting units as of June 30, 2005. Such allocation will occur upon completion of the purchase price allocation in 2005.

7.    Income Taxes

Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, the Company is required to compute its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, were 29% and 29%, respectively, as compared to 13% and 12%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 varies from the United States statutory income tax rate due primarily to lower than United States statutory effective income tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions, the effect of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which valuation allowances are recorded, and the benefit of tax credits, primarily in the U.S.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") presents information related to the consolidated results of operations of the Company, including the impact of restructuring costs on the Company's results, a discussion of the past results and future outlook of each of the Company's segments, and information concerning both the liquidity and capital resources of the Company. An important qualification regarding the "forward-looking statements" made in this discussion is then presented.

Basis of Presentation

The Company acquired the Automotive segment of Cooper Tire on December 23, 2004. The Predecessor (see below) did not historically operate as a stand-alone business, but as a reportable business segment of Cooper Tire. The audited and unaudited financial information of the Predecessor represents our business as it historically operated and includes certain assets and liabilities, principally related to closed plants or those in the process of being closed, which were not acquired or assumed as part of the Transactions, and also includes U.S. pension program balances previously held at the parent company. Also, due to the change in ownership in the Acquisition, and the resultant application of purchase accounting, the historical financial statements of the Predecessor and the Successor have been prepared on different bases for the periods presented and are not comparable.

The following provides a description of the basis of presentation during all periods presented:

Predecessor:    Represents the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Automotive segment of Cooper Tire for all periods prior to the Acquisition on December 23, 2004. This presentation reflects the historical basis of accounting without any application of purchase accounting for the Acquisition.

Successor:    Represents our consolidated financial position and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for periods following the Acquisition. The financial position as of June 30, 2005, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and cash flows for the six months then ended reflect the preliminary application of purchase accounting, described below, relating to the Acquisition and the adjustments required to reflect the assets and liabilities not acquired in the Acquisition and the adjustments for domestic pension liabilities previously held by Cooper Tire.

As a result of the foregoing, the historical financial information for periods prior to December 24, 2004 may not reflect what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone company for such periods.

Business Environment and Outlook

Our business is greatly affected by the automotive build rates in North America and Europe. New vehicle demand is driven by macro-economic and other factors such as interest rates, manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, and employment and income growth trends. According to the J.D. Power-LMC Quarter Two Automotive Production Report, light vehicle production in North America is expected to be 15.7 million units in 2005, which is flat with 2004. European production levels in 2005 are expected to be 20.1 million units as compared to 20.2 million units in 2004. Light vehicle production in South America is expected to increase to nearly 2.7 million vehicles in 2005 from 2.5 million vehicles produced in 2004.

In the second quarter of 2005, our business was negatively impacted by reduced OEM production volumes, primarily in North America, including shutdowns at certain of our customers' plants. According to J.D. Power-LMC, actual North America and Europe light vehicle production volumes were 4.1 million and 5.4 million units, respectively, as compared to 4.2 million and 5.4 million units, respectively, for the second quarter of 2004. Additionally, we continued to experience significant pricing pressure from our customers as well as significant increases in certain raw material prices, especially steel-based components, synthetic rubber and other compounding materials. Our contracts typically do not allow us to pass these price increases on to our customers. These negative impacts were partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation.

19

---

According to J.D. Power-LMC, North America and Europe light vehicle production in the third quarter is estimated at 3.7 million and 4.6 million units, respectively, compared to 3.6 million and 4.5 million units, respectively, in 2004. Our performance in 2005 will be impacted by changes in light vehicle production volumes, customer pricing pressures and the cost of raw materials.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

Sales:    Consolidated sales increased $4.2 million, or 0.9%, in 2005. This increase resulted primarily from favorable foreign exchange rates ($18.4 million) offset by lower unit sales volumes coupled with customer price concessions.

Gross Profit:    Gross profit decreased $13.7 million to 16.2% of sales in 2005 as compared to 19.2% of sales in 2004. The decrease resulted primarily from the aforementioned volume and pricing factors combined with increased raw materials costs, especially increased steel, synthetic rubber and resin prices. Such negative items were offset by the favorable impact of various cost savings initiatives.

Selling, Administration and Engineering:    Selling, administration and engineering expenses were lower in 2005 by $0.4 million, or 1.0%, due to lower costs experienced thus far associated with operating as a stand-alone company offset partially by inflationary increases in wages and benefits.

Amortization of Intangibles:    Amortization increased in 2005 due to the amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of the Acquisition.

Interest Expense, net:    The increase in interest expense of $16.2 million in 2005 resulted primarily from increased indebtedness used to finance the Acquisition.

Other Income (Expense):    Other expense increased $2.6 million in 2005 due primarily to foreign exchange losses, including a loss of $1.5 million related to Term Loan B, a U.S. dollar-denominated obligation of our Canadian subsidiary, and $0.3 million related to other indebtedness used to finance the Acquisition.

Provision for Income Tax Expense (Benefit):    Our effective tax rate decreased from 29.1% in 2004 to 12.5% in 2005 due primarily to changes in the distribution of income between U.S. and foreign sources and the relative impact of permanent differences to income before income taxes. We currently anticipate an overall 12.3% effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2005.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Sales:    Consolidated sales decreased $22.7 million, or 2.3%, in 2005. This decrease resulted primarily from lower unit sales volumes coupled with customer price concessions. Such decreases were offset by favorable foreign exchange rates ($31.4 million).

Gross Profit:    Gross profit decreased $34.6 million to 15.4% of sales in 2005 as compared to 18.6% of sales in 2004. This decrease includes a $9.8 million increase to cost of products sold in 2005 due to liquidation of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in 2004 as a result of the Acquisition. The decrease in gross profit also resulted from the aforementioned volume and pricing factors and higher raw materials costs, especially increased steel, synthetic rubber and resin prices. Such negative items were offset by the favorable impact of various cost savings initiatives.

Selling, Administration and Engineering:    Selling, administration and engineering expenses were lower in 2005 by $2.2 million, or 2.4%, due to lower costs experienced thus far associated with operating as a stand-alone company offset by inflationary increases in wages and benefits.

Amortization of Intangibles:    Amortization increased in 2005 due to the amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of the Acquisition.

Interest Expense, net: The increase in interest expense of $31.2 million in 2005 resulted primarily from increased indebtedness used to finance the Acquisition.

Other Income (Expense):    Other expense increased $4.8 million in 2005 due primarily to foreign exchange losses, including a loss of $2.5 million related to Term Loan B, a U.S. dollar-denominated obligation of our Canadian subsidiary, and $1.6 million related to other indebtedness used to finance the Acquisition.

Provision for Income Tax Expense (Benefit):    Our effective tax rate decreased from 29.1% in 2004 to 12.2% in 2005 due primarily to changes in the distribution of income between U.S. and foreign sources and the relative impact of permanent differences to income before income taxes. We currently anticipate an overall 12.3% effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2005.

Such items were offset by the favorable impact of various cost savings initiatives.

Restructuring

We continually evaluate alternatives to align our business with the changing needs of our customers and to lower the operating cost of our Company. This may include the realignment of our existing manufacturing capacity, facility closures or similar actions. See the Notes to the combined and consolidated financial statements for discussion of restructuring activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities:    Cash flow provided by operations in 2005 was $60.5 million as compared to $89.3 million in 2004. The change between the two periods resulted primarily from lower net income

---

in 2005 offset by an increase in non-cash adjustments to net income. We anticipate that cash flows from operations for the next twelve months will be positive and -should be sufficient to meet our capital expenditures and working capital needs even if business levels are lower than presently forecast.

Investing Activities:    Cash used in investing activities was $81.8 million in 2005 as compared to $19.9 million in 2004. This change resulted primarily from payment of transaction advisory fees to one of the Company's primary stockholders ($8.0 million) as well as payment of the working capital adjustment related to the Acquisition ($54.3 million). We anticipate that we will spend no more than $75 million on capital expenditures in the year ending December 31, 2005. A portion of these capital expenditures in 2004 and 2005 are or will be attributable to new facilities being built in China.

Financing Activities:    Cash used in financing activities prior to the Acquisition related primarily to intercompany activity and are not reflective of our current stand-alone financial structure. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.2 million in 2005 as compared to $92.5 million in 2004, of which $91.8 million related to intercompany advances with Cooper Tire.

Since the consummation of the Acquisition, we have been significantly leveraged. As of June 30, 2005, we have $904.8 million outstanding in aggregate indebtedness, with an additional $112.4 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $12.6 million of outstanding letters of credit). In April 2005, we made the final purchase price payment to Cooper Tire related to settlement of a post-closing working capital adjustment. Such payment totaled $54 million but did not necessitate drawing against our revolving credit facility. Our future liquidity requirements will likely be significant, primarily due to debt service requirements.

Our compliance with many of the covenants contained in the indentures governing the notes and in our senior credit agreement is determined based on financial ratios that are derived using our reported EBITDA, as adjusted for unusual items and certain other contingencies described in those agreements. The breach of such covenants in our senior credit agreement could result in a default under that agreement and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under our indentures. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also partially tied to similar financial ratios. We refer to EBITDA as adjusted under the indentures as Indentures EBITDA and EBITDA as adjusted under the credit agreement as Consolidated EBITDA.

We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Indentures EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financing covenants. However, EBITDA and Indentures EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance. Additionally, EBITDA and Indentures EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA and Indentures EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

While the adjustments to EBITDA in determining covenant compliance under the credit agreement are generally similar to those made under the indentures, the credit agreement provides that the Consolidated EBITDA amounts used in the covenant calculations are $69.4 million, $73.0 million, $39.0 million and approximately $46.3 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Additionally, included in the Predecessor's results of operations are costs of $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, related to corporate expenses of Cooper Tire allocated to the Company in excess of our estimate of costs to operate on a stand-alone basis.

(1)	Non-recurring costs from the movement of Cleveland facility OEM production to other facilities.

(2)	Unrealized foreign exchange losses on Acquisition-related indebtedness.

(3)	Amortized pension losses eliminated in 2005 as the result of purchase accounting.

(4)	A one-time write-up of inventory to fair value at the date of acquisition.

(5)	Purchase accounting adjustment related to tooling projects at the date of acquisition.

(6)	The Company's share of earnings in one of its joint ventures less cash dividends received from the joint venture.

Our covenant levels and ratios for the four quarters ended June 30, 2005 are as follows:

				Covenant Level at June 30, 2005				Covenant Thresholds
Senior Credit Facilities
Minimum Consolidated EBITDA to cash interest ratio				3.1 to 1.0				≥ 2.5 to 1.0
Maximum net debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio				4.5 to 1.0				≤ 4.9 to 1.0
Indentures
Consolidated Coverage Ratio				3.2 to 1.0				≥ 2.0 to 1.0

Purchase Accounting

The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations," pursuant to which the total purchase price of the Acquisition, including related fees and expenses, was allocated to our net assets based upon our estimates of fair value.

24

---

A preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition has been made. However, this allocation may change materially in the future as additional information becomes available, such as final third party valuations of certain assets and liabilities. The increase in the basis of these assets will result in non-cash charges for future periods, principally related to the step-up in the value of inventory and property, plant and equipment and an increase in the amount of intangible asset amortization.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities were stated at historical carrying values given their short-term nature. Existing debt obligations were stated at historical carrying values given either the short-term nature of these liabilities or the close proximity of the stated interest rates to market rates for similar obligations. Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and assets have been recorded at the projected benefit obligation less estimated plan assets at fair market value, based on computations made by independent actuaries engaged by the Company. Final determination of allocated plan assets and liabilities for certain plans will be determined upon approval by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and is expected to occur in 2005. Deferred income taxes have been recorded based on estimates of tax versus book basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted to estimated fair values. Valuation allowances have been established against those assets for which we anticipate that realization is not likely. Property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and inventory have been recorded at fair value based on valuations prepared by independent appraisers.

Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology and customer contracts and relationships. Developed technology was valued at $18 million and was based on the royalty savings method which allocates value based on what we would be willing to pay as a royalty to a third-party owner of the technology or trademark in order to exploit the economic benefits. The technologies that have been valued under this approach are innovative and technological advancements within our businesses. Customer contracts and relationships were valued at a combined total of $294 million using the income approach after considering a fair return on fixed assets, working capital, technology and assembled workforce.

Management believes that the carrying values of all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximate their fair values.

The resulting goodwill after all identifiable intangible assets have been valued was $404 million, none of which is tax deductible. Factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in recognition of goodwill included our leading market positions, comprehensive product lines and geographically diverse global manufacturing and sales bases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the combined and consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes what the Company believes are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends and other information that is not historical information. When used in this report, the words "estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts," or future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could" or "may," and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends and data are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, we cannot assure you that these expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved.

Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: our substantial leverage; limitations on flexibility in operating our business contained in our debt agreements; our dependence on the automotive industry; availability and cost of raw materials; our dependence on certain major customers; competition in our industry; our conducting operations outside the United States; the uncertainty of our ability to achieve expected cost reduction savings; our exposure to product liability and warranty claims; labor conditions; our vulnerability to rising interest rates; our ability to meet our customers' needs for new and improved products in a timely manner; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the possibility that our owners' interests will conflict with yours; our recent status as a stand-alone company; our legal rights to our intellectual property portfolio; our underfunded pension plans; environmental and other regulation; and the possibility that our acquisition strategy will not be successful. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We actively monitor our exposures to, and changes in, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are periodically used to reduce the impact of these risks.

As of June 30, 2005, we had $346.2 million of variable rate debt. A 1% increase in the average interest rate would increase future interest expense by approximately $3.5 million per year, assuming no principal repayments or use of financial derivatives.

At June 30, 2005, we had no derivative financial instruments in place.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2005, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably with respect to the Company. A reserve estimate is established for each matter and updated as additional information becomes available. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.    Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold an aggregate of 42,600 shares of common stock to senior management and a director of the Company for $100 per share (aggregate purchase price of $4.26 million). The transactions were exempt from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients received adequate information about us or had access, through director or employment relationships, to such information.
