AAVID THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND SHARE DATA)
(1) BACKGROUND
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Aavid") is a leading
global provider of thermal management solutions for electronic products and the
leading developer and marketer of computational fluid dynamics ("CFD") software.
Each of these businesses has an established 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 unwanted heat, which can degrade system performance and
reliability, from microprocessors and industrial electronics products. Aavid's
products, which include heat sinks, interface materials and attachment
accessories, fans, heat spreaders and liquid cooling and phase change devices
that it configures to meet customer-specific needs, serve the critical function
of conducting, convecting and radiating away unwanted heat. 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,
material processing, electronics and HVAC industries.
Overall, the Company services a highly diversified base of more than 3,000
national and international customers including OEMs, distributors, and contract
manufacturers through a highly integrated network of software, development,
manufacturing, sales and distribution locations throughout North America,
Europe, and the Far East.
The Company has been privately held since February 2, 2000, when it was
acquired by Heat Holdings Corp., a corporation formed by Willis Stein & Partners
II, L.P and other investors. Heat Holdings II Corp., an affiliate of Heat
Holdings, owns 89% 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.
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 three month period ended March 31, 2005 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2005.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

========= =========
(6) SEGMENT REPORTING
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, 2004.
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 ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

(7) 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.

OVERVIEW
We are a leading global provider of thermal management solutions for
electronic products and the leading developer and marketer of CFD software.
Prior to February 2, 2000 we were a publicly traded company, listed on the
NASDAQ National Market under the trading symbol "AATT". Since February 2, 2000,
we have been a privately held company, owned by Heat Holdings Corp., a
corporation formed by Willis Stein and other investors. Our acquisition by
Willis Stein was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and was
financed through a combination of 12 3/4% senior subordinated notes and senior
bank debt.
We are organized as two operating units known as Aavid Thermalloy and
Fluent. Aavid Thermalloy designs, manufactures and distributes thermal
management products that dissipate unwanted heat from microprocessors and
industrial electronics products. Fluent develops and markets CFD software that
is used in complex computer-generated modeling of fluid flows, heat and mass
transfer and chemical reactions. These two business units, while complementary,
are quite different from each other and as a result, Aavid Thermalloy and Fluent
will be discussed separately when analyzing performance and industry trends.
Aavid Thermalloy is a global manufacturing business. Revenues are
generated through the sale of fabricated and purchased thermal management
products and components. Our thermal management products are used in a wide
variety of computer, networking and industrial electronics applications,
including computer systems (desktops, laptops, disk drives, printers and
peripheral cards), network devices (servers, routers, set top boxes and local
area networks), telecommunications equipment (wireless base stations, satellite
stations and PBXs), instrumentation (semiconductor test equipment, medical
equipment and power supplies), transportation and motor drives (braking and
traction systems) and consumer electronics (stereo systems and video games). We
have manufacturing operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Italy and
China. Additionally, we have several other sales offices throughout the world,
as well as engineering and design service centers in New Hampshire, California
and India.
Fluent's CFD software is used for a wide variety of computer-based
analyses, including the design of electronic components and systems, automotive
design, combustion systems modeling and process plant troubleshooting. Fluent's
software is used in a variety of industries including, among others, the
automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, power generation, material
processing, electronics and HVAC industries. Fluent develops and markets its CFD
software products worldwide and currently maintains sales, support and design
centers in North America, Europe and Asia.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For The Quarter Ended March 31, 2005 Compared With The Quarter Ended March
31, 2004:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
---------------------------------
MARCH 31, MARCH 31,
SALES (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 2005 2004 CHANGE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- ------
Computer, networking and industrial electronics.................... $ 30.4 $ 30.2 0.7%
Consulting and design services (Applied) .......................... 0.4 0.2 100.0%
------- ------- -----
Total Aavid Thermalloy............................................. 30.8 30.4 1.4%
Total Fluent....................................................... 29.8 25.2 18.0%
------- ------- -----
Total Company...................................................... $ 60.6 $ 55.6 8.9%
======= ======= =====
Aavid's sales in the first quarter of 2005 were $60.6 million, an increase
of $5.0 million, or 8.9%, from the comparable period of 2004. The overall
increase in sales is a combination of an improvement in Aavid Thermalloy, driven
by moderate improvement experienced by the electronics industry, combined with
an increase in revenues experienced by Fluent.
Fluent software sales of $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2005 were
$4.5 million, or 18.0%, higher than the first quarter of 2004. The increase was
spread among all product offerings due to overall growth in the market for
computational fluid dynamics design software, as well as the continued success
of application specific products, such as "Icepak" and "Airpak".
Aavid Thermalloy's sales were $30.8 million in the first quarter of 2005,
an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.4%, over the first quarter of 2004. As
discussed above, this was the result of both an increase in market share and a
moderate improvement in the overall industry in which Aavid Thermalloy's
customers operate. Based on the current booking activity, management expects to
see moderately less revenues in the second quarter of 2005 when compared with
the first quarter of 2005.
The Company's international sales (which include U.S. exports) decreased
to 55.5% of sales for the first quarter of 2005 compared with 56.9% in the first
quarter of 2004.
No customer generated greater than 10% of the Company's revenues in the
first quarter of 2005 or 2004.
The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of 2005 was $31.4 million
compared with $27.8 million in the comparable period from 2004. Gross margin as
a percentage of sales increased from 50.0% in the first quarter of 2004 to 51.8%
in the first quarter of 2005. Aavid Thermalloy's gross margin decreased
approximately 0.6% percentage points from the first quarter of 2004 to the first
quarter of 2005. Aavid Thermalloy's gross margin was negatively impacted by
inventory provisions of $0.5 million for end of life inventory. Gross margin at
Fluent decreased from 83.2% in the first quarter of 2004 to 82.7% in the first
quarter of 2005. While the gross margins of Aavid Thermalloy and Fluent both
decreased slightly, as Fluent's higher margin revenues made up a greater
percentage of consolidated revenues in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the
first quarter of 2004, consolidated gross margin improved as noted above.
In the first quarter of 2005, the Company's operating income of $8.5
million compares with operating income of $6.7 million in the first quarter of
2004. Aavid Thermalloy saw a decrease of $0.7 million in operating income from
the first quarter 2004 to the first quarter of 2005. Fluent's operating income
improved $2.3 million in the first quarter 2005 as compared to the comparable
period in the prior year, with higher gross profit partially offset by higher
operating expenses. Corporate headquarters experienced no change in operating
income from the first quarter of 2004 to the comparable period of 2005.
Net interest charges, including cash interest expense and income, deferred
financing fee amortization and bond discount amortization, for the Company were
$4.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 which compares with $4.5 million for
the comparable period of 2004. The slight increase in interest expense for the
first quarter of 2005 is due to higher interest rates on the Company's senior
bank debt in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004.
14
The Company incurred a tax provision for the first quarter of 2005 despite
having operating losses in the United States because of state tax provisions on
applicable state components of U.S. income and foreign tax provisions on foreign
earnings. The Company incurred losses in the United States and the Company only
benefits from U.S. losses to the extent of foreign earnings, which are expected
to be repatriated in the United States. Because the Company is in a net
operating loss position for U.S. tax purposes, the Company will not receive any
tax benefit from foreign tax credits. Accordingly, there is no net benefit
recorded for the United States losses, resulting in an overall tax provision for
foreign taxes. The Company's effective tax rate increased from 33.5% in the
first quarter of 2004 to 50.3% in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to
improved profitability of the Company's foreign subsidiaries located in higher
tax rate jurisdictions.
The Company's net income of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2005 is
comparable to net income of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2004. The
higher gross profit in the first quarter of 2005 was offset by higher operating
expenses, combined with a higher effective tax rate in 2005 as compared to 2004.
The Company's EBITDA, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement with
the Company's senior lenders, was $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2005,
compared with $12.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. A reconciliation
of net income to EBITDA is as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company had used internally generated funds and proceeds
from financing activities to meet its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. The Company has significant cash requirements for debt service
relating to its senior subordinated notes and its bank debt. The Company
currently uses amounts available under its Loan and Security Agreement, debt and
equity financings and internally generated funds to finance its working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company generated $0.9 million of
cash from operations, versus $3.5 million of cash provided by operations in the
first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company used $0.9
million of cash in connection with investing activities versus using $1.0
million in the comparable period of 2004. The Company used $0.9 million for
capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2005 versus $1.0 million in the
comparable period of 2004. The Company was provided with $0.4 million of cash
from financing activities in the first quarter of 2005, compared to using $0.9
million of cash in financing activities for the comparable period in 2004.
- ------------
(1) Change in deferred revenue as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement
represents the net change in deferred revenue found on the Company's balance
sheet from the beginning of the applicable reporting period to the end of the
applicable reporting period. An increase in deferred revenue during the period
will increase EBITDA. A decrease in deferred revenue during the period will
decrease EBITDA, as defined.
15
The Company's current bank credit facility (the "Loan and Security
Agreement") is a $27.5 million 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 $0.4 million, which
commenced 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
accounts receivable 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. 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 11:00 a.m. 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 between .25% and .50%. At March 31, 2005, the interest rates on the Loan and
Security Agreement ranged from 5.35% to 6.25%. Availability under the revolving
line of credit was $17.1 million at March 31, 2005, of which $6.9 million had
been drawn.
Debt classified as long term in the accompanying balance sheet as of March
31, 2005, consists of the long term portion of the term loan component of the
Loan and Security Agreement, the long term portion of capital leases, the long
term portion of foreign debt obligations and all of the 12 3/4% senior
subordinated notes.
The Company has obligations to purchase minimum quantities of raw
materials from two of its key suppliers. The Company believes that purchasing
these raw materials from a few key suppliers is necessary to achieve
consistently low tolerances, design, delivery flexibility, and price stability.
Under the terms of these agreements the Company has agreed to purchase certain
minimum quantities which approximate $0.7 million at March 31, 2005.
The Company has entered into various long-term debt, capital lease and
operating lease arrangements. The future payments required by these arrangements
at March 31, 2005, are as follows:

During the first quarter of 2005, inventory turns were 7.8, which compares
to 10.5 during the first quarter of 2004. Much of the change in inventory turns
is related to the initiation of production builds on major new business
programs.
At March 31, 2005, accounts receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO") were
64 days, which compares to DSO of 69 days at December 31, 2004.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
Thermal Products
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. We offer certain
distributors limited rights of return and stock rotation rights. Due to these
return rights, we continuously monitor and track product returns and we record a
provision for the estimated future amount of such future returns, based on
historical experience and any notification we receive of pending returns. While
such returns have historically been within our expectations and provisions
established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same
return rates that we have in the past. Any significant decrease in product
demand experienced by our distributor customers and the resulting credit returns
could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period or
periods in which such returns materialize.
16
Software
The Company recognizes revenue on its software license and maintenance
arrangements in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9, and related pronouncements. The
pronouncements provide specific industry guidance and stipulate that revenue
recognized from software arrangements is to be allocated to each element of the
arrangement based on relative fair values of the elements, such as software
products, upgrades, enhancements, post-contract customer support ("PCS"),
installation and training.
The Company licenses its software products under both perpetual and annual
license arrangements.
For perpetual license arrangements, the Company uses the residual method
to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, the fair value vendor specific
objective evidence ("VSOE") of the undelivered elements (typically PCS) is
deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the
delivered elements (software) and is recognized as revenue, assuming all other
conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied. The Company recognizes
revenue from the undelivered PCS element ratably over the period of the PCS
arrangement.
For annual license arrangements, with unbundled PCS, since VSOE of value
for the PCS does not exist, the Company recognizes revenue for both the software
license and the PCS ratably over the 12-month term of the license.
Training and consulting revenues are recognized upon completion of
services or, in certain instances, on the proportional performance method.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit
limits based on payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as
determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously
monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for
estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues we have identified. While such credit losses have
historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we
cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates
we have in the past. In the event that economic or other conditions cause a
change in liquidity or financial condition in multiple customers, there could be
a material adverse effect on our collection of receivables and future results of
operations.
INVENTORIES
We value our inventory, which consists of materials, labor and overhead,
at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or
the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review
inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete
inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and
production demand for the next twelve months. As experienced in prior years,
demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. A significant increase in
demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of
inventory purchases and production costs while a significant decrease in demand
could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on
hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent new product development and rapid product obsolescence that could
result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand.
Additionally, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate,
in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for
excess or obsolete inventory. In the future, if our inventory is determined to
be overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in our cost of goods
sold at the time of determination. Likewise, if our inventory is determined to
be undervalued, we may have over-reported our cost of sales in previous periods
and would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time
of sale. Therefore, although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our
forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in
demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the
value of our inventory and reported operating results.
17
VALUATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We review goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually and
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an
asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that a two-step impairment test be
performed on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each
reporting unit to its carrying value. Our reporting units are consistent with
the reportable segments identified in Note (6) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a
combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income
approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present
value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the
fair value based on market multiples of revenues or earnings for comparable
companies. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of
the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not
required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets
assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit,
then we must perform the second step in order to determine the implied fair
value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of
the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's
goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we must record an impairment loss
equal to the difference. SFAS No. 142 also requires that the fair value of the
purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives be estimated and compared to
the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of these intangible assets using
the income approach. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair
value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.
The income approach, which we use to estimate the fair value of our
reporting units and purchased intangible assets, is dependent on a number of
factors including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted
revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized, appropriate
discount rates and other variables. We base our fair value estimates on
assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and
inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In
addition, we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies
used in the market approach in valuing our reporting units, as well as certain
assumptions to allocate shared assets and liabilities to calculate the carrying
values for each of our reporting units.
REGULATORY REPORTING
Although the Company has not been subject to the filing requirements of a
reporting company to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the past 90
days, it has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act (the "Act") of 1934 during the preceding twelve months.
Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Act, the Company's duty to file reports is
automatically suspended as a result of having fewer than 300 holders of record
of each class of its debt securities outstanding, as of January 1, 2003, but the
Company agreed, under the terms of certain long-term debt covenants, to continue
these filings.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of March 31, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision

disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's
management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2005, in ensuring that
material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and CFO by
others within the Company during the period in which the report was being

controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
