AAVID THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND SHARE DATA)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND MERGER
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Aavid") is the leading
global provider of thermal management solutions for electronic products and the
leading developer and marketer of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software.
On February 2, 2000, the Company was acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation newly formed by Willis Stein & Partners II, L.P. (the "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger, Aavid stockholders received $25.50 in cash for each
outstanding share of common stock. In addition, all outstanding stock options
and warrants were cashed out. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase
method.
The Merger and related transaction costs were funded by a cash contribution
from Heat Holdings and an affiliate of $152,000, proceeds of $148,312, net of
original issue discount, from the sale by the Company of 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes and warrants due 2007, $54,700 pursuant to a new credit
facility entered into by the Company, and approximately $4,653 of cash on hand.
Additionally, the Company used $7,085 of cash on hand to pay financing fees
associated with the senior credit facility and 12 3/4% senior subordinated
notes. Net assets on the date of acquisition were $156,560. Based upon fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill of $183,676 was
established. Approximately $113,705 of this goodwill is attributable to Aavid
Thermalloy, the hardware business, and was being amortized over 20 years through
December 31, 2001. The remainder, $69,971, is attributable to Fluent, the CFD
software business, and was being amortized over 4 years through December 31,
2001. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company wrote off the goodwill
attributable to Aavid Thermalloy after performing a review for impairment under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."
The impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 related to the
goodwill attributable to Aavid Thermalloy was $94,233. The Company adopted SFAS
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under the
provisions of SFAS 142, the remaining goodwill attributable to Fluent is no
longer amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually.
Of the $152,000 cash contribution, $4,811 was invested by Heat Holdings II
Corp., an affiliate of Heat Holdings, to acquire 95% of the common equity of
Aavid Thermalloy, LLC, the thermal management hardware business. The Company
controls Aavid Thermalloy, LLC through a preferred equity interest and holds a
5% common equity interest and thus consolidates Aavid Thermalloy LLC in its
results within the accompanying financial statements. The investment by Heat
Holdings II Corp. has been recorded as minority interests within the
accompanying financial statements.
On February 2, 2000, as part of the transactions relating to the Merger,
the Company issued 150,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of $150,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes")
and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 60 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 60 shares of
the Company's Class H Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Notes are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the
Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") (see note 12 for
selected consolidating financial statements of parent, guarantors and
non-guarantors). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the
"Indenture") among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee. $4,560 of the proceeds from the sale of the Units was
allocated to the fair value of the Warrants and $143,752 was allocated to the
Notes, net of original issue discount of $1,688. The total discount of $6,248 is
being accreted over the term of the notes, using the effective interest rate
method. This accretion is recorded as interest expense within the accompanying
statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002 and
June 30, 2001.
In connection with the Merger, the Company repaid all of the outstanding
term loan and revolving line of credit under its then existing credit facility,
which aggregated approximately $88,200 at December 31, 1999, and entered into an
amended and restated credit facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit
Facility"). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provided for a $22,000
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") (of which $1,700 was drawn
at the closing of the Merger) and a $53,000 term loan facility (the "Term
Facility") (which was fully drawn at the closing of the Merger). Subject to
compliance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility,
borrowings under the Revolving Facility were available for working capital
purposes, capital expenditures and future acquisitions. The Revolving Facility
was to terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder were to be payable, on
March 31, 2005. Principal on the Term Facility was required to be repaid in
quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2000 and ending March 31, 2005 as
follows: five installments of $2,000; four installments of $2,500; four
installments of $2,750; two installments of $3,200; two installments of $3,900;
and a final installment of $7,800.
6
In addition, commencing with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2001, the
Company was required to apply 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, to
permanently reduce the Term Facility. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility
bore interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1) in the
case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x) the interest rate in the London
interbank market for loans in an amount substantially equal to the amount of
borrowing and for the period of borrowing selected by Aavid and (y) a margin of
between 1.50% and 2.25% (depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio
(as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility)) or (2) the sum of the
higher of (x) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's prime or base rate or (y)
one-half percent plus the latest overnight federal funds rate plus (z) a margin
of between .25% and 1.00% (depending on the Company's consolidated leverage
ratio). At June 29, 2002, the interest rates on the Term Facility and the
Revolving Facility were 6.50%.
On May 4, 2001, in response to the Company not being in compliance with a
leverage ratio covenant at December 31, 2000, certain of the Company's
stockholders and their affiliates made an equity contribution of $8,000 in cash
and $26,191 in principal amount of 12-3/4% senior subordinated notes. In
addition, the Company and the lenders amended the facility to provide that the
last three required quarterly principal payments in 2001 under the facility were
prepaid with $6,000 of the proceeds of the equity contribution, and the four
required principal payments in 2002 were reduced by $500 each, reflecting
application of the remaining cash equity contribution. Further, certain covenant
ratios and ratio definitions were amended and the available line of credit was
reduced to $17,000 from $22,000.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time in
whole or in part without penalty, and must be prepaid to the extent of certain
equity or asset sales. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility limits the
Company's ability to incur additional debt, to sell or dispose of assets, to
create or incur liens, to make additional acquisitions, to pay dividends, to
purchase or redeem its stock and to merge or consolidate with any other party.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the Company
meet certain financial ratios, and provides the lenders with the right to
require the payment of all amounts outstanding under the facility, and to
terminate all commitments thereunder, if there is a change in control of Aavid.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of Heat Holdings
Corp. and Heat Holdings II Corp., and all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries
and secured by the Company's assets (including the assets and stock of its
domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries).
The Company incurred approximately $7,085 in underwriting, legal and other
professional fees in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
establishment of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. These costs, in
addition to the $1,624 of unamortized costs associated with the original Credit
Facility, have been capitalized as deferred financing fees and are being
amortized over the respective terms of the related debt. This amortization is
recorded in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations for the
quarters and six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001.
As of December 31, 2001 and continuing through June 29, 2002, the Company
was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility. The Company notified its lenders concerning the
noncompliance. The resulting event of default was not waived by the Company's
lenders at December 31, 2001; accordingly, the lenders could have demanded full
payment of all amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility. As a result of the event of default, the Company classified $17,000
outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $38,192 outstanding under the
term facility and $119,653 of 12-3/4 % Senior Subordinated Notes as current
within the December 31, 2001 balance sheet. On January 29, 2002 the Company and
its Senior lenders entered into a forbearance agreement with an expiration date
of May 31, 2002. The forbearance agreement, among other things, required the
Company's owners to contribute $12,000 of additional equity and allowed the
Company to pay its semi-annual interest payment due February 1, 2002 on its
12-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. The forbearance agreement also required the
Company to accelerate a principal payment of $1,985 on the term loan that was
originally due on March 31, 2002. This payment of $1,985 was made at the time of
the signing of the forbearance agreement.
On August 1, 2002, the Company refinanced its Amended and Restated Credit
Facility with two of the four banks that were party to the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility. The new credit facility (the "Loan and Security Agreement") is
a $27,500 asset based facility. The facility consists of a term loan component
secured by certain United States real estate and machinery and equipment and
requires quarterly principal payments of $359 commencing November 1, 2002. The
Loan and Security Agreement also consists of a revolving line of credit
component secured by inventory in the United States and receivables in the
United States and the United Kingdom. Availability under the line of credit
component is determined by a borrowing base of 85% of eligible accounts
receivable and 50% of eligible inventory, as defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement. At August 1, 2002, the available borrowing base was $23,880, of which
$22,620 was drawn at closing. Debt outstanding under the Loan and Security
Agreement bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1)
in the case of LIBOR rate loans, the sum of the offered rate for deposits in
United states dollars for a period equal to such interest period as it appears
on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00am London time and a margin of between 2.5% and
2.85% or (2) the sum of LaSalle Business Credit's prime rate plus a margin of
..50%.
7
Debt classified as long term in the accompanying balance sheet as of June
29, 2002 consists of the long term portion of the term loan component of the new
Loan and Security Agreement and all of the 12 3/4% senior subordinated notes.
These amounts have been classified as long term due to the refinancing of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which occurred on July 31, 2002.
On January 30, 2002, as part of the equity contribution required under the
forbearance agreement discussed above, Heat Holdings contributed to Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc. an aggregate of $12,000 in cash in exchange for: (a)
a warrant to purchase 174,389 Series B Preferred Units of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC
held beneficially and of record by Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. and (b)
67.71 shares of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock, par
value $.0001 per share and 67.71 shares of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc.
Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share. The portion of the equity
contribution related to the warrant has been recorded in additional paid in
capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 29, 2002.
Dividends on the Company's Series A and Series B Preferred Stock (Preferred
Stock) shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, of the
Liquidation Value of such shares (plus any accrued and unpaid dividends as of
the end of the previous anniversary of the date of issuance of such shares) from
and including the date of issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock to and
including the first to occur of: (i) the date on which the Liquidation Value
(plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) of such shares of Preferred
Stock is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the
Corporation or the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock by the Company
or; (ii) the date on which such shares are otherwise acquired by the Company.
Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether
or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally
available for the payment of dividends, and such dividends shall be cumulative
such that all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid or declared with
funds irrevocably set apart for payment thereof and shall be paid before any
dividends, distributions, redemptions or other payments may be made with respect
to any Junior Securities, other than Participating Dividends.
On all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, each holder of
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have the number of votes such holder
would have had if such holder had converted such holder's Preferred Stock into
Common Stock on the record date of such vote (or, if no record date is
established, immediately prior to such vote).
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each holder
of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or
payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the
greater of (i) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares of Preferred Stock
held by such holder (plus any accrued and unpaid dividends) or (ii) the amount
such holder of Preferred Stock would receive if the holder converted all of such
holder's shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior
to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
At any time after April 13, 2022, the Company may redeem the Preferred
Stock by delivering a written notice of such redemption at least thirty days
prior to the redemption date. For each share of Preferred Stock which is to be
redeemed, the Company shall be obligated on the redemption date to pay the
holder of such share an amount equal to the Liquidation Value of such share
(plus any accrued and unpaid dividends).
At any time and from time to time, any holder of Preferred Stock may
convert all or any portion of the Preferred Stock (including a fraction of a
share) held by such holder into a number of shares of Common Stock computed by
multiplying the number of shares to be converted by $10.00 and dividing the
result by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect ($3.55 is the Initial
Conversion Price). The Initial Conversion Price may be adjusted from time to
time for certain dilutive events.
The Liquidation Value of any share of Preferred Stock as of any particular
date shall be $75,738.83 per share, as such amount is adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends and similar transactions. The total liquidation value of the
Preferred Stock is $10,768 at June 29, 2002.
(2) RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company's software subsidiary, Fluent, has historically recognized
software revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition" and SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2 Software Revenue
Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions." These statements provide
specific industry guidance and stipulate that revenue recognized from software
arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the
relative fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades,
enhancements, post-contract customer support ("PCS"), installation or training.
Under the terms of Fluent's arrangements, the software is delivered upon signing
and the bundled PCS is available to the customer over the term of the

contract. SOP 97-2 requires a seller of software with bundled PCS to establish
vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the value of the undelivered
element of the contract (in Fluent's case the PCS) in order to account
separately for the PCS revenue.
In order to establish VSOE, there needs to be specific instances in which a
customer purchases the PCS separately from the software such that a true market
value could be determined. Prior to 2001, Fluent's product offerings consisted
of both perpetual licenses and annual licenses that included bundled PCS.
Purchasers of perpetual licenses would renew their PCS each year for a specific
price therefore establishing VSOE for the PCS. Fluent used this VSOE of the
value of PCS for both perpetual and annual licenses.
SOP 98-9 modified SOP 97-2 to require the use of the "residual method" in
situations where VSOE of value exists for all undelivered elements, but does not
exist for one or more of the delivered elements. Under the residual method, the
undiscounted VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements (PCS) is deferred
and the difference (residual) between the total fee and the amount deferred for
the undelivered elements is recognized immediately as revenue. In sum, revenue
related to the software element is recognized upon signing of the contract and
delivery of the product. Revenue related to PCS is recognized ratably over the
life of the contract. Using the residual method methodology, Fluent, with the
concurrence of Arthur Andersen LLP, its auditors at the time, determined that
36% of the annual license fee was attributable to PCS, using the price charged
for PCS on a perpetual license as VSOE of value of PCS for an annual license.
Therefore, upon delivery of software under an annual software license, 64% of
the license fee was recognized immediately and the remaining 36% was deferred
and amortized to revenue over the 12 month life of the license.
On December 29, 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) issued Technical Practice Aid (TPA) 5100.68. TPA 5100.68
dealt with the issue of whether a perpetual license with separately priced PCS
established VSOE of value for shorter term software licenses with bundled PCS.
The AICPA specifically stated in TPA 5100.68 that PCS services for a perpetual
license and PCS services for a shorter term license are two different elements.
Therefore, the renewal rate charged for PCS on a perpetual license does not
provide VSOE of value for PCS on the shorter term license. Due to the issuance
of this TPA, the Company and its auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, concluded that
under Fluent's bundled contract business practice the Company could no longer
establish VSOE of the value of PCS related to their annual licenses based on
the PCS used for perpetual licenses.
In order to maintain a consistent revenue recognition methodology and to
more definitely confirm VSOE of value on the individual elements of the
contract, the Company elected to change its annual license agreements and
proposals in 2001 to offer PCS as a separately priced item from the software
(the "unbundled method"), that could be purchased at the customer's election. In
other words, customers could license Fluent's software, which no longer included
PCS, and either separately contract for PCS or elect not to take PCS. The
Company, along with Arthur Andersen LLP, determined at that time that the
unbundled method would establish VSOE of value on the PCS such that the Company
could continue to recognize the software revenue upon contract signing and
shipment of the software, and defer only the PCS portion of the revenue ratably
over the term of the contract. This change had minimal impact on revenue
recognition when compared to prior periods, but did clearly identify separate
prices for the software and service elements of the contract.
On July 10, 2002, the Company announced it had changed auditors from Arthur
Andersen LLP to Ernst & Young LLP. Arthur Andersen LLP's fate has been widely
publicized and the firm is no longer available to the Company. Based on
discussions with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company has determined that the VSOE of
value that it was relying upon to support the portion of the license fee
attributed to the PCS during 2001, even in the unbundled state, may not have
been sufficient to support such treatment. As a result, Ernst & Young LLP
advised the Company that it should recognize revenue for the entire software
license, and not just the PCS portion of the agreement, ratably over the 12
month term of the license. Ernst & Young LLP further advised the Company to
restate its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2001 to reflect
this change.
Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements as of
December 31, 2001,and for the year then ended, and for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001, included herein, to reflect this change in revenue
recognition. The Company has also restated its financial statements for the
first quarter of 2002 and has conformed its second quarter 2002 financial
statements to this revenue recognition methodology. While this change has a
significant impact on recorded revenues within the statements of operations, and
consequently net loss and EBITDA, this change does not affect the Company's
statements of cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2001, and the three month period ended March 30, 2002, other than re-allocating
certain changes in balance sheet accounts within the cash flow from operations
section of the statement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the
amount of revenue originally recognized but now deferred is $4,579 and $12,885,
respectively. For the three month period ended June 29, 2002, the amount of
revenue originally recognized but now deferred was $4,627. Regardless Fluent
continues to be paid by its customers upon commencement of the execution of the
non-cancellable license agreement.

An additional restatement matter arises from the Company's sale of its
German subsidiary, Aavid Thermalloy Holdings, GmbH ("Curamik") (see Note 3) on
July 17, 2002. Due to the sale, the Company must treat Curamik as a discontinued
operation, which requires all prior periods presented to be restated to remove
the results of Curamik from earnings from continuing operations and instead,
reflect Curamik's results as earnings from discontinued operations.
All amounts in this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the change in
revenue recognition and discontinued operation as discussed above. As a result
of the unavailability of Arthur Andersen LLP to reissue their report on the
restated fiscal year 2001 results, the Company's financial statements for fiscal
year 2001 will have to be reaudited. Accordingly, all periods presented in this
Form 10-Q have been marked as "unaudited". It is also possible that periods
prior to 2001 may also need to be reaudited due to the discontinued operation
restatement related to Curamik. Although the Company is not presently aware of
any other matters that could give rise to changes in prior period financial
statements, it is possible that the reaudit of the Company's financial
statements may result in additional changes to the consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2001, and for the year then ended, and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, included herein.
Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent accountants, have not
performed a review of the consolidated financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 71, "Interim Financial Information," and as required by Rule 10-01(d) of
Regulation S-X, because the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 will have to be reaudited as discussed
above. Upon completion of the fiscal year 2001 reaudit by Ernst & Young LLP and
completion of the SAS 71 review, amended Form 10-Q's and an amended Form 10-K
will be filed for all applicable periods.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATION
On July 17, 2002, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Aavid
Thermalloy Holdings, GmbH, which in turn owns approximately 89.5% of the
outstanding shares of curamik electronics GmbH, pursuant to a Share Sale and
Purchase Agreement between the Company and Electrovac Fabrikation
Electrotechnischer Spezialartikel GesmbH dated July 10, 2002 (the "Sale
Agreement"). Under the Sale Agreement, the Company received consideration of
31,290 euros, subject to possible adjustment based upon consolidated net
assets of Curamik and certain indemnification obligations of the Company. The
Company will record a pre-tax gain on the sale of $6,102 in the third quarter of
2002. $27,683 of the sale proceeds was used to pay down senior debt. The sale of
Curamik and its related operating results have been excluded from losses from
continuing operations and is classifed as a discontinued operation for all
periods presented, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets". See Note 2 above.
The following is a summary of the results of discontinued operations for
the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001:

(4) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Aavid Thermal
Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at June 29, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarters
and six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
As previously discussed in Note 2 above, the financial statements as of
December 31, 2001 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001,
included herein, have been restated to reflect a change in revenue recognition
at the Company's software subsidiary, Fluent. While this change has a
significant impact on recorded revenues within the statements of operations, and
consequently net loss and EBITDA, this change does not affect the Company's
statements of cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001
and the three month period ended March 30, 2002 other than re-allocating certain
changes in balance sheet accounts within the cash flow from operations section
of the statement.
Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent accountants, have not
performed a review of the consolidated financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 71, "Interim Financial Information," and as required by Rule 10-01(d) of
Regulation S-X, because the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 will have to be reaudited as discussed
above. Upon completion of the fiscal year 2001 reaudit by Ernst & Young LLP and
completion of the SAS 71 review, as discussed in Note 2 above, amended Form
10-Q's and an amended Form 10-K will be filed for all applicable periods.

(9) NON-RECURRING CHARGES AND RESTRUCTURING RESERVES
Approximately $2,130 of restructuring charges have been recorded in
connection with the Company's October 1999 acquisition of Thermalloy, the
thermal management business of Bowthorpe plc. The restructuring plan includes
initiatives to integrate the operations of the Company and Thermalloy and reduce
overhead. The primary components of these plans relate to (a) the closure of
duplicative Thermalloy operations in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, (b) the
elimination of duplicative selling, general and administration functions of
Thermalloy on a global basis and (c) the termination of certain contractual
obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2000, 136 individuals were
terminated. The following amounts have been charged against the Thermalloy
restructuring reserves during the quarter ended June 29, 2002:

(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. It also specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are
required to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS 142
requires that goodwill and certain intangibles, including assembled workforce,
no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. The
Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company completed its initial
review during the first quarter of 2002 and determined its intangible assets
were not impaired. Because goodwill and some intangible assets are no longer
being amortized, the reported amounts of goodwill and intangible assets (as well
as total assets) will not decrease at the same time and in the same manner as
under previous standards. There may be more volatility in future earnings of the
Company than under previous standards because impairment losses are likely to
occur irregularly and in varying amounts. Additionally, the Company was required
to reclassify the net balance of its assembled workforce intangible asset of
$3,714 to goodwill upon adoption of the statement. In the second quarter of
2001, the Company recorded $6,420 of amortization related to goodwill that was
not recorded in the second quarter 2002 under the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and the accounting and reporting provisions
of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of
a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The Company adopted SFAS No.
144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

(11) SEGMENT REPORTING
Aavid provides thermal management solutions for microprocessors and
integrated circuits ("ICs") for computer and network and industrial
applications. The Company consists of two distinct reportable segments: (1)
thermal management products and (2) computational fluid dynamics ("CFD")
software. Aavid's thermal management products consist of products and services
that solve problems associated with the dissipation of unwanted heat in
electronic and electrical components and systems. The Company develops and
offers CFD software for computer modeling and fluid flow analysis of products
and processes that reduce time and expense associated with physical models and
the facilities to test them.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, with the exception of software
revenue recognition which is further discussed in footnote (2) to these
financial statements.
The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales
or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.
Aavid's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services. They are managed separately because each
segment requires different marketing and sales strategies.
The following summarizes the operations of each reportable segment for the
quarters and six months ending June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001:

(12) SELECTED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT, GUARANTORS AND
NON-GUARANTORS (UNAUDITED)
The Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries have jointly and severally
guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, the principal amount of the
Company's 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2007. The guarantors include
the combined domestic operations of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC and Fluent, Inc. and
the Company's subsidiary Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. The non-guarantors
include the combined foreign operations of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC and Fluent,
Inc. The consolidating condensed financial statements of the Company depict
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc., (the "Parent"), carrying its investment in
subsidiaries under the equity method and the guarantor and non-guarantor
subsidiaries are presented on a combined basis. Management believes that there
are no significant restrictions on the Parent's and guarantors' ability to
obtain funds from their subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The principal
elimination entries eliminate investment in subsidiaries and intercompany
balances and transactions.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other
events occur in the future.
OVERVIEW
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Aavid") is a leading
global provider of thermal management solutions for electronics products and the
leading developer and marketer of computational fluid dynamics ("CFD") software.
Each of these businesses has a leading reputation for high product quality,
service excellence and engineering innovation in its market. Aavid designs,
manufactures and distributes on a worldwide basis thermal management products
that dissipate heat from microprocessors and industrial electronics products.
Aavid's products include heat sinks, interface and attachment accessories, fans,
heat spreaders and liquid cooling and phase change devices that can be
configured to meet customer-specific needs. CFD software is used in complex
computer-generated modeling of fluid flows, heat and mass transfer and chemical
reactions. Aavid's CFD software is used in a variety of industries, including
the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, electronics
and bio-medical industries.
On February 2, 2000, the Company was acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation newly formed by Willis Stein & Partners II, L.P. Pursuant to the
merger, Aavid stockholders received $25.50 in cash for each outstanding share of
common stock. In addition, all outstanding stock options and warrants were
cashed out. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method.
The Merger and related transaction costs were funded by a cash contribution
from the Purchaser of $152.0 million, proceeds of $148.3 million, net of
original issue discount, from the sale by the Company of 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes and warrants due 2007, $54.7 million pursuant to a new credit
facility entered into by the Company, and approximately $4.7 million of cash on
hand. Net stockholders' equity on the date of acquisition was $156.6 million.
Based upon fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill of
$183.7 million was established. Approximately $113.7 million of this goodwill is
attributable to Aavid Thermalloy, the hardware business, and was being amortized
over 20 years through December 31, 2001. The remainder, $70.0 million, is
attributable to Fluent, the CFD software business, and was being amortized over
4 years through December 31, 2001. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the
Company wrote off the goodwill attributable to Aavid Thermalloy after performing
a review for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of." The impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2001 related to the goodwill attributable to Aavid Thermalloy was $94.2
million. The Company adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
on January 1, 2002. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, the remaining goodwill
attributable to Fluent is no longer amortized, but instead will be tested for
impairment at least annually. The Company completed its initial review for
impairment during the first quarter of 2002 and determined its intangible assets
were not impaired. Because goodwill and some intangible assets are no longer
being amortized, the reported amounts of goodwill and intangible assets (as well
as total assets) will not decrease at the same time and in the same manner as
under previous standards. There may be more volatility in future earnings of the
Company than under previous standards because impairment losses are likely to
occur irregularly and in varying amounts. Additionally, the Company was required
to reclassify the net balance of its assembled workforce intangible asset of
$3.7 million to goodwill upon adoption of the statement. In the second quarter
of 2001, the Company recorded $6.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of
amortization related to goodwill that was not recorded in the second quarter and
first half of 2002 under the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
21
Of the $152.0 million cash contribution, $4.8 million was invested by Heat
Holdings II Corp., an affiliate of Heat Holdings, to acquire 95% of the common
equity of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC, the thermal management hardware business. The
Company controls Aavid Thermalloy, LLC through a preferred equity interest and
holds a 5% common equity interest and thus consolidates Aavid Thermalloy LLC in
its results within the accompanying financial statements. The investment by Heat
Holdings II Corp. has been recorded as minority interest within the accompanying
financial statements.
On February 2, 2000, as part of the transactions relating to the Merger,
the Company issued 150,000 units (the "Units"), consisting of $150,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007
(the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 60
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and
60 shares of the Company's Class H Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis
by each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors").
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") among the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee.
Approximately $4.6 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Units was
allocated to the fair value of the Warrants and approximately $143.8 million was
allocated to the Notes, net of original issue discount of approximately $1.7
million. The total discount of $6.2 million is being accreted over the term of
the notes, using the effective interest rate method. This accretion is recorded
as interest expense within the accompanying statement of operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001.
The Indenture limits the Company's ability to incur additional debt, to pay
dividends or make other distributions, to purchase or redeem our stock or make
other investments, to sell or dispose of assets, to create or incur liens, and
to merge or consolidate with any other person. The Indenture also contained
provisions requiring additional equity investments by Willis Stein & Partners in
the event the Company does not achieve certain leverage to EBITDA ratios, as
defined, in years 2000 and 2001. As described below, Willis Stein made the
maximum required equity investment in 2001 in respect of year 2000 and is not
required to make an additional equity investment even if the Company does not
achieve the required ratios in 2002. The Indenture provides that upon a change
in control of Aavid, the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of
the face value thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes are
subordinated in right of payment to amounts outstanding under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility and certain other permitted indebtedness.
In connection with the Merger, the Company repaid all of the outstanding
term loan and revolving line of credit under its then existing credit facility
and entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the "Amended and
Restated Credit Facility"). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provided
for a $22.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") (of
which $1.7 million was drawn at the closing of the Merger) and a $53.0 million
term loan facility (the "Term Facility") (which was fully drawn at the closing
of the Merger). Subject to compliance with the terms of the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility, borrowings under the Revolving Facility were available for
working capital purposes, capital expenditures and future acquisitions. The
Revolving Facility was to terminate, and all amounts outstanding thereunder were
to be payable, on March 31, 2005. Principal on the Term Facility was required to
be repaid in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2000 and ending
March 31, 2005 as follows: five installments of $2.0 million; four installments
of $2.5 million; four installments of $2.75 million; two installments of $3.2
million; two installments of $3.9 million; and a final installment of $7.8
million. In addition, commencing with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2001,
the Company is required to apply 50% of our excess cash flow, as defined in the
credit agreement, to permanently reduce the Term Facility. The Amended and
Restated Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's
option, either (1) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the sum of (x) the interest
rate in the London interbank market for loans in an amount substantially equal
to the amount of borrowing and for the period of borrowing selected by Aavid and
(y) a margin of between 1.50% and 2.25% (depending on the Company's consolidated
leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility)) or (2)
the sum of the higher of (x) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's prime or base
rate or (y) one-half percent plus the latest overnight federal funds rate plus
(z) a margin of between .25% and 1.00% (depending on the Company's consolidated
leverage ratio). At June 29, 2002 the interest rates on the Term Facility and
the Revolving Facility were 6.5%.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time in
whole or in part without penalty, and must be prepaid to the extent of certain
equity or asset sales. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility limits the
Company's ability to incur additional debt, to sell or dispose of assets, to
create or incur liens, to make additional acquisitions, to pay dividends, to
purchase or redeem its stock and to merge or consolidate with any other person.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the Company
meet certain financial ratios, and provides the lenders with the right to
require the payment of all amounts outstanding under the facility, and to
terminate all commitments thereunder, if there is a change in control of Aavid.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of Holdings
Corp. and Heat Holdings II Corp., and all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries
and secured by the Company's assets (including the assets and stock of its
domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries).
The Company incurred approximately $7.1 million in underwriting, legal and
other professional fees in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
obtainment of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. These costs, in addition
to the $1.6 million of unamortized costs associated with the original Credit
Facility, have been capitalized as deferred financing fees and are being
amortized over the respective terms of the related debt. This amortization is
recorded in interest expense in the statement of operations.
At December 31, 2000 the Company was not in compliance with the leverage
ratio covenant required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. As a
result, the Company's stockholders were required to make an equity contribution
sufficient to allow the Company to pay down enough debt to achieve a 4.5 to 1
leverage ratio based on total leverage at December 31, 2000. On May 4, 2001
certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates made an equity
contribution of $8.0 million in cash and $26.2 million in principal amount of
Senior Subordinated Notes in full satisfaction of this obligation. In addition,
the Company and the lenders a
