** The Brickman Group, Ltd. is not currently required by law to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because at the beginning of its current fiscal year its 11.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 were held of record by less than 300 persons. The Brickman Group, Ltd. is therefore not currently an “issuer” for purposes of Section 2(a)(7) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Brickman Group, Ltd. voluntarily files quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the indenture governing its senior subordinated notes.
