ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In August 1992, Thermalloy Inc. ("Thermalloy"), one of the Company's
competitors, commenced an action against the Company alleging infringement of a
Thermalloy patent covering a method of manufacturing heat sinks by gang sawing a
set of horizontal grooves, then a set of vertical grooves, to form the pins of
the heat sink. Products that use methods of manufacturing alleged by Thermalloy
to infringe its patent are primarily sold for digital electronic applications,
including heat sinking of microprocessors and related chipsets, and constitute
substantially all of the Company's digital product line. In January 1993, the
Company filed an answer claiming that (i) its methods of manufacturing pin grid
array heat sinks did not infringe the patent and (ii) the patent is invalid and
unenforceable, among other things, because of the existence of prior art. The
Company has filed a counterclaim alleging that Thermalloy violated the United
States antitrust laws by attempting to enforce a patent which it knows to be
invalid. In April 1993, while the case was pending, Thermalloy petitioned the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "Patent Office") to reexamine the
claims of the patent in light of certain prior art disclosed to Thermalloy by
Aavid in the litigation. In the reexamination, Thermalloy sought and obtained
new and amended patent claims that attempted to distinguish the published prior
art identified by the Company and presented to the Patent Office by Thermalloy.
The Company believes that the reexamined claims are invalid because the patent
law prohibits the broadening of patent claims on reexamination, and in May 1995
the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on this issue. On March 15,
1996, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted
the Company's motion for summary judgment and found the patent invalid.
Thermalloy has until April 15, 1996 to appeal. While the Company believes, based
on the advice of its patent counsel, that it will prevail if an appeal is taken
by Thermalloy, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately
prevail in this matter. In the event that Thermalloy were to prevail in such
action, Aavid would be required to cease using the affected technology and/or
pay damages and license fees to Thermalloy, which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company. In the event that Thermalloy were to prevail and Aavid
was unable to obtain a license from Thermalloy or employ a non-infringing method
of manufacturing these products, the Company's ability to compete in the digital
electronics market would be materially adversely affected. Sales of heat sink
products where gang sawing was used to create fins or pins in 1994 and 1995 were
approximately $8.7 million and $18.2 million, respectively.

     A stockholder of Aavid Engineering prior to the Aavid Acquisition has
asserted his statutory right to dissent from the merger consummated as part of
the Aavid Acquisition. This former stockholder claims that his 105 shares of
common stock of the pre-acquisition Aavid Engineering, which represented 1.36%
of Aavid Engineering's stock, should have been valued in the merger at $6,000
per share, rather than $1.00 per share. The court has appointed an appraiser to
determine the value of this former stockholder's shares immediately prior to the
Aavid Acquisition. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this
matter.

     The Company is also involved in various legal proceedings that are
incidental to the conduct of its business, none of which the Company believes
could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

(1)  Effective September 25, 1993, the Company, a newly formed corporation,
     acquired Aavid Engineering, Inc. ("Aavid Engineering"), which became a
     wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Contemporaneously, all of Aavid
     Engineering's debt was restructured. The acquisition of Aavid Engineering
     and the debt restructuring is hereinafter referred to as the "Aavid
     Acquisition." Aavid Engineering does business under the name "Aavid Thermal
     Technologies." See Note A of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of
     the Company.

(2)  Represents the results of operations for Aavid Engineering for the period
     from January 1, 1993 to September 25, 1993.

(3)  Represents the results of operations for the Company for the period from
     September 26, 1993 to December 31, 1993. In connection with the Aavid
     Acquisition, the Company expensed $2.3 million related to the purchase of
     undeveloped technology (see footnote 5 below), incurred $1.2 million in
     transaction expenses and made a $263,000 purchase accounting adjustment to
     inventory. See Note A of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the
     Company.

(4)  Includes the results of operations of Fluent from August 24, 1995 (date of
     the acquisition of Fluent).

(5)  Gives effect to the Fluent Acquisition, as if such acquisition had occurred
     on January 1, 1994, and eliminates the expense for the buyout of
     compensation arrangements (see footnote 7 below), the charge related to the
     purchase of undeveloped technology (see footnote 6 below), the $1.7 million
     of stock option expense recognized by Fluent and the accretion to
     redemption value of warrant (see footnote 9 below).

(6)  Represents a non-cash charge equal to the amount of the purchase price
     allocated to technology acquired in the Aavid Acquisition and the Fluent
     Acquisition which was not fully commercially developed and had no
     alternative future use at the time of acquisition.

(7)  Represents the expense for the buyout of (i) a portion of the expected
     future payments required under the employment agreement with Mr. Beane, the
     Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) the bonus-based
     portion of the management fee due Sterling Ventures Limited, each of which
     was established at the time of the Aavid Acquisition. See "Item 13. Certain
     Relationships and Related Transactions."

(8)  Aavid Engineering adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     109 ("Accounting for Income Taxes") during 1993. Accordingly, as of January
     1, 1993, Aavid Engineering recorded a charge related to the cumulative
     effect of the change in the method of accounting for income taxes of $1.3
     million. See Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the
     Company.

(9)  Represents the carrying value (the "Put Price") of a warrant to purchase
     495,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share.
     Upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering on February 2,
     1996 (the "Initial Public Offering"), the Put Price was added to
     stockholders' equity. Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering
     the warrant was accreted to the estimated redemption price based on time
     remaining to October 1998. See Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial
     Statements of the Company.

(10) See Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for
     information regarding the calculation of weighted average number of shares
     used in computing net income (loss) per share.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aavid Thermal
Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994, and the period from September 26, 1993 to December 31, 1993; we have also
audited the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Predecessor for the nine months ended
September 25, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Aavid
Thermal Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows of the Company for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and the period from
September 26, 1993 to December 31, 1993; and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for the Predecessor for the nine months ended
September 25, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. 

   On August 24, 1995, the Company purchased all of the stock of Fluent Inc.
   ("Fluent"), a provider of computerized design and simulation software used to
   predict fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related
   phenomena. Fluent will continue its operations as a subsidiary of the
   Company. The Company acquired Fluent through the issuance of 308,214 shares
   of its common stock, a $3,590 non-interest bearing note payable in eight
   equal quarterly installments, due September, 1997, and a cash payment of
   $927. This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
   accounting.

   The undeveloped technology had not reached technological feasibility and had
   no alternative future use. The fair value was determined based on a risk
   adjusted cash flow model, under which cash flows were discounted taking into
   account risks related to existing and future markets and an assessment of the
   life expectancy of the technology.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   ------------------------------------------

   BUSINESS ACTIVITY

   The Company designs, manufactures, engineers and sells thermal management
   solutions that are used in commercial, consumer and industrial electronic
   equipment that are available as both standard and custom designed products.
   In addition the Company, with the acquisition of Fluent, designs, develops,
   and markets advanced technology, computerized design and simulation software
   used to predict air and other fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical
   reaction and related phenomena. The Company markets its products through a
   worldwide network of salespeople, manufacturer representatives and
   distributors.

   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

   On January 29, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO)
   and sold an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of common stock at $9.50 per share.
   All of the current outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into
   2,959,692 shares of common stock as discussed in Note H. In addition, the
   authorized number of preferred shares increased from 1,100,000 to 4,000,000
   upon the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock to common stock and
   the number of authorized shares of common stock increased from 15,000,000 to
   25,000,000.

   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

   The Board of Directors has approved a 5.5-for-1 stock split (in the form of a
   stock dividend) of its common stock to be effected immediately prior to the
   effective date of the Registration Statement file on Form S-1 filed by the
   Company under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Registration Statement") which
   occurred on January 29, 1996. Accordingly, all common share and per share
   amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock
   dividend as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period
   presented.

   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the
   Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
   transactions have been eliminated.

   The Company owns 50% in a joint venture, Aavid Air Systems, Inc. This entity
   is controlled by the Company under the terms of a shareholder agreement. The
   Company accounts for this entity using the equity method of accounting. The
   effect of this accounting method does not materially differ from that which
   would have resulted if it was consolidated.

   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

   Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
   concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts
   receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
   financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers.
   The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable
   based upon expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The Company's
   write-offs of accounts receivable have not been significant during the
   periods presented. The Company's sales have been denominated in U.S. dollars
   and risks of foreign exchange fluctuations is considered minimal.

   INCOME TAXES

   The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards
   Board (FASB) Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this
   method, the amount of deferred tax liabilities or assets is calculated by
   applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes
   payable or refundable currently or in future years. FASB 109 requires a
   valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based upon the available
   evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax
   assets will not be taxable.

   Deferred income taxes arise from differences in the timing of the recognition
   of certain expenses for financial statement and income tax reporting
   purposes. The principal sources of these differences is the excess of the
   financial statement basis of net assets acquired in the transactions
   described in Note A over their tax basis along with deferred software
   maintenance revenue, depreciation, inventory reserves, vacation reserves, and
   certain accruals.

   RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

   Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

   INVENTORIES

   Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on
   the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for stock inventory items and on the
   average cost method for job order work-in-process and finished goods. The
   cost of inventories of the foreign subsidiaries are valued on the first-in,
   first-out basis.

   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

   Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates
   property, plant and equipment over their estimated remaining useful lives
   (buildings - 31.5 to 40 years;

   machinery, equipment, dies, tooling-3 to 10 years; and vehicles-4 years;)
   using both the straight-line and accelerated methods.

   Repairs and maintenance are charged against income when incurred; renewals
   and betterments are capitalized. When property, plant, and equipment are
   retired or sold, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
   from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.

   INTANGIBLES

   Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company's debt
   obligations have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line
   method over the term of the respective debt obligations.

   Other intangibles, which consist of goodwill and patents are being amortized
   on a straight-line basis over 15 and 7 years, respectively. Goodwill
   associated with the acquisition of Fluent is being amortized on a
   straight-line basis over 7 years.

   The Company periodically reviews the propriety of carrying amounts of its
   intangible assets as well as the amortization periods to determine whether
   current events and circumstances warrant adjustment to the carrying value or
   estimated useful lives. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates
   whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of goodwill by
   assessing the carrying value of goodwill against anticipated future cash
   flows from related operating activities. Factors which management considers
   in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and
   prospects and, in addition, demand, competition and other economic factors.

   ADVERTISING

   Costs for catalogs and other media are expensed as incurred. For the years
   ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, for the nine months ended
   September 25, 1993, and for the period from September 26 to December 31,
   1993, costs were $872, $421, $281, and $186, respectively.

   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

   The Company sells its principal products to a large number of customers in
   many different industries and geographies. At December 31, 1995,
   approximately 7% of recorded trade receivables were concentrated with three
   Fortune 500 customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
   customers' financial condition but does not generally require collateral.

   REVENUE RECOGNITION

      THERMAL PRODUCTS

      Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.

      SOFTWARE

      The Company licenses single and multiple copies of its software products
      to customers. Revenues for these licenses are recognized when the license
      agreement has been executed and a copy of the software delivered to the
      customer. When license contracts contain acceptance criteria, the Company
      recognizes revenue when such criteria have been met. Revenues associated
      with maintenance obligations included in software licenses are recognized
      ratably over the period of the licenses.

      CONTRACTS

      Revenue from both short and long-term consulting contracts is recognized
      according to the percentage-of-completion method for both financial and
      tax reporting purposes.

      Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the period
      the services are performed.

      Contract revenue is based on the percentage of costs incurred to total
      costs estimated to completion. Contract costs include all direct material
      and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance
      such as indirect labor, supplies, and depreciation costs. Selling and
      general administration costs are charged to expense as incurred.
      Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the
      period in which such losses are determined. Changes in contract
      performance, conditions and estimated profitability, including those
      arising from contract penalty provisions and final contact settlements,
      may result in revision to costs and income and are recognized in the
      period in which the revisions are determined.

   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

   Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed for each period based
   upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive
   common stock equivalents. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding
   options are considered common stock equivalents (using the treasury stock
   method). Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
   Bulletin No. 83, common and common equivalent shares issued during the
   12-month period prior to the date of the initial filing of the Company's
   Registration Statement have been included in the calculation, using the
   treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding for all periods presented.

   purpose of this calculation was $9.50, the initial public offering price. The
   number of shares used in this calculation has been adjusted to reflect a
   5.5-for-one stock split.

   Fully diluted net income (loss) per common share is not presented as it is
   the same as primary net loss per common share.

   Net income per share for the nine months ended September 25, 1993 of the
   Predecessor have not been presented as such information is not considered
   meaningful.

   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). This
   statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
   stock-based employee compensation plans. While the Company is reviewing the
   adoption and impact of SFAS 123, it expects to adopt the disclosure only
   alternative and, accordingly, this standard will have no impact on the
   Company's results of operation or its financial position.

   USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make 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.

   TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

   The balance sheet accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
   translated into U.S. dollars at month-end exchange rates and revenue and
   expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains
   and losses are included in stockholder's equity. Transaction gains and losses
   are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

      On November 7, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
      5.5-for-one stock split (in the form of a stock dividend) of its Common
      Stock to be effected immediately prior to the effective date of an initial
      public offering which occurred on January 29, 1996. Accordingly all common
      share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock
      dividend as through it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period
      presented.

      PREFERRED STOCK

      The Preferred Stock has liquidation rights amounting to $12.09 and $10.27
      per share as to the Series A and the Series B, respectively and is
      convertible into common stock in accordance with a formula which would

      at the option of the stockholder with mandatory conversion called for on
      the closing of a public offering which occurred on January 29, 1996.

      REDEEMABLE WARRANT

      In connection with the issuance of a Senior Subordinated Note, the
      Company granted the issuer a warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of its
      Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $10.27
      expiring October 2003 (which upon the closing of the initial public       
      offering which occurred on January 29, 1996 represented the right to
      purchase 495,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.87 per
      share). The exercise price of the warrant represented the fair market
      value of the underlying Preferred Stock on the date of issuance. The
      warrant contains specific anti-dilutive provisions and provides the
      holder with the right to participate in capital distributions to
      shareholders and the ability, beginning in October 1998 or upon
      occurrence of certain events as defined, to require the Company to
      purchase the warrant for an amount based upon the fair market value of
      the Company's stock at the time of exercise. The right to require the
      Company to purchase the warrant expired upon the consummation of the
      initial public offering which occurred on January 29, 1996. The Company
      has the right to purchase the warrant beginning in October 1999 based
      upon the fair market value of the company's stock at the time of
      exercise. In addition, the warrantholder has been granted the right to
      exchange the warrant into any class of capital stock of the Company or
      any of its subsidiaries which is publicly traded at a rate of exchange
      defined in the agreement. The warrant contains affirmative and negative
      covenants similar to those contained in the debt agreement for the Senior
      Subordinated Note and includes a restriction against dividend payments by
      the Company. The warrant is accreted to the estimated redemption price
      based on time remaining to October 1998.

   During 1994, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and approved a stock
   option plan for officers and key employees ("1994 Stock Option Plan"). The
   1994 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant to officers and key employees
   of the Company of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock
   options under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as well
   as nonqualifying options. The Company has reserved 90,361 shares of its
   Series A Preferred Stock for issuance under this plan.

   The 1994 Stock Option Plan provides that the exercise price of all options
   shall be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company's shares, as
   of the date on which the grant is made. The term of options issued under the
   plan cannot exceed ten years. Options are generally exercisable in
   installments beginning one year after the date of grant. With respect to
   incentive stock options granted to a participant owning more than 10% of the
   Company's shares, the exercise price thereof is at least 110% of the fair
   market value of the Company's stock. No individual can exercise options, in
   any calendar year, for the purchase of shares having a fair market value in
   excess of $100.

   During 1994, the Company's Board of Directors granted to a member of the
   Board a nonqualified stock option for a total of 13,750 shares of Common
   Stock. During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors granted to a member of
   the Board a nonqualified stock option for a total of 28,655 shares of Common
   Stock.

   During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and approved a stock
   option plan for nonemployee directors ("Directors' Plan"). The Directors'
   Plan provides for the automatic grant to nonemployee directors of options to
   purchase shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Directors'
   Plan. Options granted under the Directors' Plan do not qualify as incentive
   stock options under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
   The options have an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of the
   Common Stock on the date of grant and have a ten-year term. Initial options
   become exercisable in their entirety from and after the date six months after
   the date of grant. All other options granted under the Directors' Plan become
   fully exercisable from and after the first anniversary of the grant date.
   During 1995, no options have been granted under the Directors' Plan.

   During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and approved an
   employee stock purchase plan ("Purchase Plan"). Under the Purchase Plan, the
   Company will grant rights to purchase shares of Common Stock to eligible
   employees on a date or series of dates designated by the Board of Directors.


   The price per share with respect to each grant of rights under the Purchase
   Plan is the lesser of:

      (i) 85% of the fair market value on the offering date on which such rights
          was granted, or

     (ii) 85% of the fair market value on the date such right is exercised.

      Lease expense was approximately $485, $156, $10, and $58 for the years
      ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the period from September 26, 1993 to
      December 31, 1993, and for the nine months ended September 25, 1993,
      respectively.

      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      The Company has entered into an employment agreement with an officer which
      expires in October, 1996 calling for the payment of a fixed amount,
      depending upon the Company's earnings, as defined. In addition, this
      officer has been granted specific employment and severance benefits.

      LITIGATION

      A claim has been asserted against the Company by one of its competitors
      for infringement of its rights under one of the competitor's patents. The
      Company does not believe the claim has any merit and is aggressively
      defending its position. In addition the Company does not believe that the
      resolution of this claim will have a material impact on its results of
      operations. In March 1996, the court granted a motion for summary judgment
      in favor of the Company and declared the claim invalid.

      The Company is involved in various routine litigation incident to its
      business. In management's opinion, none of these proceedings will have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
      financial position irrespective of any potential insurance recovery.

      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The Company licenses certain technologies and purchases specific products
      from another company controlled by an officer. The licensing agreement
      calls for minimum royalties and variable amounts dependent on the sales of
      licensed products as defined. In addition, the company also contracts
      certain research and development projects with a related party. For the
      years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the period from September 26, 1993
      to December 31, 1993, and the nine months ended September 25, 1993,
      payments of $438, $162, $107, and $163 were made to this entity.

      The Company entered into a management agreement in the last quarter of
      1993 with an entity controlled by certain directors under which it is
      obligated to pay $200 per year plus an amount dependent on the Company's
      earnings, as defined, in exchange for specific consulting services to be
      provided by this entity. The Company expensed $507, $225, and $50 under
      this agreement for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
      period from September 26, 1993 to December 31, 1993, respectively. In
      consideration of the elimination of the portion of the fee based on the
      Company's earnings effective January 1, 1996, the Company has agreed to
      increase the annual management fee to $250 effective January 1, 1996 and
      to pay this entity $275 (see Note J).

      PURCHASE COMMITMENT

      The company has an obligation to purchase from one of its key suppliers a
      minimum quantity of aluminum coil stock. The Company believes that
      purchasing aluminum coil stock from this supplier is necessary to achieve
      consistently low tolerances, design and delivery flexibility, and price
      stability. Under the terms of this two-year agreement, which expires on
      August 31, 1996, the Company has agreed to purchase certain minimum
      quantities on a quarterly basis which approximates $284.


M. JOINT VENTURE:
   -------------

   The Company is funding the development of certain technologies by Aavid Air
   Systems, Inc. Under this joint venture agreement, the company has the right
   to license certain technologies of the entity, has the ability to control the
   entity under the terms of shareholder agreements and may be required to
   either buy its joint venture partner's share of or sell its share in the
   entity on the occurrence of certain events as defined in the agreements.

   International interarea sales represent shipment of inventory to
   international subsidiaries. These interarea sales are generally priced to
   recover cost plus an appropriate mark-up for profit and are eliminated from
   the consolidated net sales. Operating profit is comprised of revenue less
   related cost of sales, selling expenses and general and administrative
   expenses.
