UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share Data)

NOTE 1 -General

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles which are generally accepted in the United States of America (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2006, or any other period. The balance sheet at January 29, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As used herein, the “Company” refers to Anvil Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), including, in some instances, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anvil Knitwear, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Anvil”), and its other subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context. The Company is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing high quality activewear for men, women and children, including short and long sleeve T-shirts, sport shirts and niche products, all in a variety of styles and fabrications. These activewear products are supplemented with caps, towels, robes and bags. The Company markets and sells its products primarily to distributors, screen printers and private label brand owners, principally in the United States.

The Company reports its operations in one segment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

The Company’s operations are on a “52/53-week” fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, after elimination of significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Litigation: The Company is party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of the matters in which it is currently involved will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, liquidity, business or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 2 - Credit Agreement

Anvil’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended on May 20, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”), provides for a maximum revolving credit facility of $40,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Loan Agreement, as amended, expires January 11, 2007. The original Loan Agreement included a term loan in the initial principal amount of $11,725, which has been fully repaid. Amounts due under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all the inventory, receivables, intangible and tangible property, plant and equipment of Anvil. Holdings and Spectratex, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anvil (“Spectratex” [formerly named Cottontops]) guaranty amounts due under the Loan Agreement. Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is at prime plus one-quarter percent or LIBOR plus 2-1/4%, at the Company’s option. At April 30, 2005, there was $20,981 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at 6.00%

NOTE 3 - Inventories

Inventories at April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005 consisted of the following:

	April 30, 2005		January 29, 2005

Finished goods	$	39,942	$	38,807
Work-in-process	2,873		1,821
Raw materials and supplies	10,330		9,578
	$	53,145	$	50,206

NOTE 4 –Intangible Assets

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that goodwill and other intangible assets be tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs indicating that it is possible an impairment exists.

The Company’s intangible assets, which are being amortized, consist of trademarks having an aggregate value of $4,858, less accumulated amortization of $2,935 and $2,860 as of April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, respectively. Amortization expense for these trademarks will be $286 in each future fiscal year.

NOTE 5 – Redeemable Preferred Stock/Adoption of SFAS No. 150

Effective as of the beginning of the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable be classified as liabilities, if such financial instruments embody an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem them by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur. Adoption of SFAS No. 150 required the Company to begin classifying its 13% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) as a liability, and the related dividends and accretion as interest expense. Prior to

the effective date of SFAS No. 150, the Company classified the Preferred Stock on its balance sheet between liabilities and equity and the related dividends and accretion as a reduction in equity not included as an element of interest expense. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 does not affect the Company’s computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.

The Preferred Stock, as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is determined as follows:

	April 30, 2005			January 29, 2005
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding (Liquidation value, $83,512 and $80,884)	$	83,851		$	81,139
Less—Preferred Stock in treasury (Liquidation value, $25,846 and $25,033)	(25,950		)	(25,111		)
Preferred Stock—net (Liquidation value, $57,666 and $55,851)	$	57,901		$	56,028

In accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Designations relating to the Preferred Stock, the Company paid stock dividends aggregating 1,075,782 shares ($26,895 liquidation value). This amount includes all dividends declared and paid through the March 15, 2002 quarterly dividend payment date. Dividends subsequent to that date are required to be paid in cash. The Board of Directors of Holdings has not declared any quarterly dividends since the March 15, 2002 dividend, and such dividends have not been paid. To date, the accrued dividends amount to $18,380, excluding dividends on preferred shares held by the Company. Under the Certificate of Designations relating to the Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to make cash dividend payments for four consecutive quarters, the holders of the Preferred Stock, at a special meeting held for that purpose, voting together as a class, may elect two additional directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. On November 6, 2003, a special meeting of the holders of the Preferred Stock was held for the purpose of electing two additional directors. At that meeting, two directors, nominated by the holders of Preferred Stock, were elected to the Company’s Board of Directors.

NOTE 6 – Income (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per share as presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to each class of Common Stock by the average number of shares of such stock outstanding, excluding anti-dilutive options. The 12.5% liquidation preference relating to the Company’s Class A Common Stock is considered as per share earnings of that class only. Following is the computation of the per share amounts as presented in the consolidated statements of operations:

	Fiscal Quarter Ended
	April 30, 2005			May 1, 2004
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(5,582	)	$	(2,508	)

Net loss per common share	$	(1.43	)	$	(0.64	)
Preference per Class A common share	8.23			7.09
Net income per Class A common share	$	6.80		$	6.45

Net loss per Class B common share	$	(1.43	)	$	(0.64	)

Weighted average shares used in computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:
Class A Common	290,000			290,000
Class B Common	3,600,000			3,605,000

NOTE 7 - Summarized Financial Data of Certain Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

Holdings has no independent operations apart from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anvil, and its sole asset is the capital stock of Anvil. Anvil is Holdings’ only direct subsidiary. Holdings, Spectratex and the Non-U.S. subsidiaries of Anvil fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee the 10-7/8% Senior Notes of Anvil. In addition to Spectratex, Anvil has six other direct subsidiaries (the “Non-U.S. Subsidiaries”): A.K.H., S.A., Estrella Mfg. Ltda. and Star, S.A., organized in Honduras; Livna, Limitada, organized in El Salvador; Annic LLC, S.A., organized in Nicaragua; and CDC GmbH, organized in Germany. There are no other direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The following information presents certain condensed consolidating financial data for Holdings, Anvil, Spectratex and the Non-U.S. Subsidiaries. Complete financial statements and other disclosures concerning Anvil, Spectratex and the Non-U.S. Subsidiaries are not presented because Management has determined they are not material to investors.

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

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The application of accounting policies require judgement by Management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and are based upon historical experience, trends in the industry, and information available from outside sources. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires Management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant critical accounting policies include:

Revenue Recognition and Allowances—Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped and title has passed. Allowances for sales returns, discounts and for estimated uncollectible accounts are provided when sales are recorded, based upon historical experience and current trends, and periodically updated, as appropriate. While the actual amounts have been within the range of the Company’s projections, there can be no assurances that this will continue in the future.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. If required, based upon Management’s judgement, reserves for slow moving inventory and markdowns of inventory which has declined significantly in value are provided. The Company’s markdowns have increased in recent fiscal years as the result of industry-wide lower selling prices for basic goods. While such markdowns have been within the range of Management’s projections, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same level of markdowns, or that markdowns taken will be adequately representative of any future declines in selling prices.

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, there have been no adjustments to the carrying amount of long-lived assets resulting from the Company’s evaluation for any periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

The Company’s results of operations are affected by numerous factors, including competition, general economic conditions, raw material costs, mix of products sold and plant utilization. Certain activewear products of the type manufactured by the Company are generally available from multiple sources and the Company’s customers often purchase products from more than one source. The Company generally does not lead its competitors in pricing, but instead modifies its prices to the extent necessary to remain competitive with those set by its competitors.

The gross profit margins of the Company’s products vary significantly. Accordingly, the Company’s overall gross profit margin is affected by its product mix. In addition, plant utilization levels are important to profitability due to the substantial fixed costs of the Company’s textile operations. The largest component of the Company’s cost of goods sold is the cost of yarn. The Company obtains substantially all of its yarn from a number of domestic yarn suppliers, generally placing orders based upon Management’s expectations regarding future yarn prices and levels of supply. Yarn prices fluctuate from time to time principally as a result of competitive conditions in the yarn market and the cost of raw cotton. The Company adjusts the timing and size of its purchase orders for yarn in an effort to minimize fluctuations in its raw material costs resulting from changes in yarn prices. Management is continually reviewing and adjusting the Company’s purchase commitments to take advantage of price decreases and ameliorate the impact of price increases.

The following table sets forth, for each of the periods indicated, certain statement of operations data, expressed as a percentage of net sales.

	Fiscal Quarter Ended

Statement of Operations Data:
Net sales	100.0		%	100.0		%
Cost of goods sold	81.6			75.6
Gross profit	18.4			24.4

Other Data:

Percentage of net sales	7.7		%	14.7		%

(1)EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Management believes, however, that EBITDA represents a useful measure of assessing the performance of the Company’s ongoing operating activities as it reflects earnings trends of the Company. In addition, Management believes EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. The EBITDA measure presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Following is the computation of EBITDA for the periods indicated.

Quarter Ended April 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended May 1, 2004

Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 2005 amounted to $49,498,000, as compared to $53,021,000 for the comparable quarter of the preceding fiscal year, a decrease of $3,523,000, or 6.6%. Total units sold were approximately the same in each fiscal quarter. However, there was a significant decline in average selling prices, due chiefly to an unfavorable change in product mix.

Gross profit declined from $12,952,000 in the quarter ended May 1, 2004 to $9,095,000 in the current fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005. The reduction in gross profit of $3,857,000 (29.8%) is reflective of a decline in gross margin from 24.4% to 18.4%. This unfavorable change is the result of the following factors in the approximate amounts indicated: (i) an unfavorable change in product mix toward goods having lower gross profit —$1,600,000; (ii) higher yarn costs in the current fiscal quarter as compared to the same period of the prior year — $1,500,000; and (iii) higher manufacturing costs primarily relating to the Company’s garment dyeing operations — $700,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including distribution expense) was the same in the fiscal quarters ended May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2005. A decrease in advertising expenditures of approximately $250,000 was offset by an equal increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses. Distribution expense was approximately the same for an equal number of units shipped in both fiscal quarters.

Interest expense on borrowings was slightly higher in the current fiscal quarter than the same period of the prior year. Due to increases in the prime rate, interest rates on the Company’s revolving credit line were higher during the current fiscal quarter than the same period in the prior year. Also, borrowing levels in the current fiscal quarter were higher than the same period of the prior year. Dividends and accretion on the Company’s Redeemable Preferred Stock, classified as interest expense, increased $266,000 due to the compounding of unpaid dividends (see Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere herein).

Analysis of Cash Flow Data

Cash used by operating activities was approximately $8,500,000 in the current fiscal quarter, while in the same fiscal quarter of the prior year, the Company’s operating activities provided approximately $2,500,000 in cash. The variance of approximately $11,000,000 is primarily the result of (i) an decline in operating earnings of approximately $3,900,000; (ii) an increase in inventories of approximately $3,000,000 for the current fiscal quarter as compared to a decrease in inventories of approximately $3,000,000 during the prior fiscal quarter; (iii) a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4,900,000 in the current fiscal quarter as compared to a reduction of $3,300,000 during the same period in the prior year; and (iv) other changes in working capital due primarily to timing of receipts and disbursements.

Cash used in investing activities was approximately $400,000 more in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005 compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, representing an increase in the Company’s net investments in capital equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities was $10,701,000 in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005. This amount represents the Company’s net borrowings under its revolving credit line through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The comparable borrowings for the same period of the prior year amounted to $3,834,000. The Company completed repayment of its Term Loan in April 2004, and accordingly expended $586,000 less in Term Loan payments in the current fiscal quarter than the prior year’s fiscal quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically utilized funds generated from operations and borrowings under its credit agreements to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Company made capital expenditures of $3,708,000 and $4,333,000 in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 and January 29, 2005, respectively. Management estimates that capital expenditures in the next two fiscal years will be approximately $6,000,000 annually, exclusive of the planned textile facility in Honduras. Historically, the Company’s major capital expenditures have related to the acquisition of machinery and equipment and management information systems hardware and software.

The Company’s principal working capital requirements are financing accounts receivable and inventories. The Company also expended $13,201,000 through the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003 to acquire a portion of its Redeemable Preferred Stock.

At April 30, 2005 the Company had net working capital of $54,810,000 comprised of $5,562,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $28,815,000 of accounts receivable, $53,145,000 of inventories and $8,056,000 of other current assets, less revolving credit borrowings of $20,981,000 and accounts payable and other current liabilities of $19,787,000.

Anvil’s Loan and Security Agreement, as amended on May 20, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”), provides for a maximum revolving credit facility of $40,000,000 (the

“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Loan Agreement, as amended, expires January 11, 2007. The original Loan Agreement included a term loan in the initial principal amount of $11,725,000 which has been fully repaid. Amounts due under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all the inventory, receivables, intangible and tangible property, plant and equipment of Anvil. Holdings and Spectratex guaranty amounts due under the Loan Agreement. Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is at prime plus one-quarter percent or LIBOR plus 2-1/4%, at the Company’s option. At April 30, 2005, there was $20,981,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at 6.00%. While on the same date, the Company had cash on hand of $5,562,000, it should be noted that both the Company’s Revolving Credit borrowings and its cash position are subject to daily fluctuations based on numerous factors such as collections, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

The Senior Notes are in the principal amount of $130,000,000, bearing interest at 10-7/8%, and are due on March 15, 2007. The Senior Note Indenture restricts, among other things, Anvil’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make certain other “restricted” payments (except to the extent, among other things, the restricted payments are less than 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Anvil [as defined therein]), to incur additional indebtedness, to encumber or sell assets, to enter into transactions with affiliates, to enter into certain guarantees of indebtedness, to make certain investments, to merge or consolidate with any other entity and to transfer or lease all or substantially all of their assets.

Holdings has no independent operations with its sole asset being the capital stock of Anvil, which stock is pledged to secure the obligations under the Loan Agreement. As a holding company, Holdings’ ability to pay cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock or, if issued, principal and interest on the debentures into which the Senior Preferred Stock is convertible (the “Exchange Debentures”) is dependent upon the earnings of Anvil and its subsidiaries and their ability to declare dividends or make other intercompany transfers to Holdings. Under the terms of the Senior Note Indenture, Anvil may incur certain indebtedness pursuant to agreements that may restrict its ability to pay such dividends or other intercompany transfers necessary to service Holdings’ obligations, including its obligations under the terms of the Senior Preferred Stock and, if issued, the Exchange Debentures. Neither the Senior Note Indenture nor the Loan Agreement restricts Anvil’s subsidiaries from declaring dividends or making other intercompany transfers to Anvil.

The Company’s ability to satisfy its debt obligations, including, in the case of Anvil, to pay principal and interest on the Senior Notes and, in the case of Holdings, to pay principal and interest on the Exchange Debentures, if issued, to perform its obligations under its guarantees and to pay cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock, will depend upon the Company’s future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond its control, as well as the availability of revolving credit borrowings under the Loan Agreement. However, the Company may be required to refinance a portion of the principal of the Senior Notes and, if issued, the Exchange Debentures prior to their maturity and, if the Company is unable to service its indebtedness, it will be forced to take actions such as

reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing its indebtedness, or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that if any of these remedies are necessary, they could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

A summary of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as of April 30, 2005 is as follows:

	Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Total

Long-term debt			$	130,000,000			$	130,000,000
Operating leases	$	2,787,000	3,310,000		$	352,000	6,449,000
Redeemable
Preferred Stock					96,197,000		96,197,000
Total	$	2,787,000	$	133,310,000	$	96,549,000	$	232,646,000

The Company believes that, based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, funds generated from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity, including borrowings under the Loan Agreement, will be sufficient over the next twelve months for the Company to fund its normal working capital requirements and satisfy its debt service requirements.

Seasonality

The Company’s business is not significantly seasonal as it manufactures and sells a wide variety of activewear products that may be worn throughout the year.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor, equipment and raw materials. The Company does not believe that inflation has had any material effect on the Company’s business during the periods discussed herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges and requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The Company’s results of operations have been significantly affected by industry-wide fluctuations in selling prices, which have declined significantly over the last several years. Management continues its efforts to reduce costs and improve manufacturing efficiencies. A new leased cut and sew facility in Nicaragua became operational in April 2005, replacing a Honduran facility whose lease expired in December 2004. In addition, Anvil’s wholly-owned Honduran subsidiary, A.K.H., S.A., has entered into a lease agreement to construct a new textile facility. After some anticipated transitional inefficiencies, both of these facilities are expected to reduce future labor costs.

Although the Company believes that prices have stabilized, Management cannot predict the future effects of numerous economic factors such as GATT implementation and the impact of a possible influx of textile products from China. Accordingly, Management is continually seeking to diversify and expand the Company’s customer base and also to place increased emphasis on the sale of goods sourced as finished products. While no assurances can be given, Management believes that these initiatives will enable the Company to meet the challenges of future price fluctuations, if any.

Some of the factors the Company anticipates will occur during the next three fiscal quarters are as follows:

• Yarn costs, which were higher during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, are expected to be lower during the second and third fiscal quarters than the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year.

• The Company has recently announced a price increase on selected products.

• A more favorable product mix, with basic T-shirts comprising a smaller percentage of total sales, is anticipated for the balance of the current fiscal year.

• Production inefficiencies and restructuring costs experienced at Spectratex during the first fiscal quarter have abated and are expected to be minimal in the future.

• Irregulars and related markdowns of inventory, which were exceptionally high during the first fiscal quarter, are expected to return to their historical levels for the remainder of the fiscal year.

• Further reductions in advertising and other sales promotion expenditures are planned for the balance of the fiscal year ending January 28, 2006.

Taking into account the foregoing factors, Management estimates that for fiscal 2005, net sales will be approximately the same as the amount realized in fiscal 2004, and EBITDA will be approximately 20% less.

The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-Q to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts.

4. Inability to obtain new customers or retain existing ones.

5. Significant changes in competitive factors, including product pricing conditions, affecting the Company.

6. Governmental/regulatory actions and initiatives, including, those affecting financings.

7. Significant changes from expectations in actual capital expenditures and operating expenses.

8. Occurrences affecting the Company’s ability to obtain funds from operations, debt or equity to finance needed capital expenditures and other investments.

9. Significant changes in rates of interest, inflation or taxes.

10. Significant changes in the Company’s relationship with its employees and the potential adverse effects if labor disputes or grievances were to occur.

11. Changes in accounting principles and/or the application of such principles to the Company.

The foregoing factors could affect the Company’s actual results and could cause the Company’s actual results during fiscal 2005 and beyond to be materially different from any anticipated results expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or other circumstances after the date hereof.
