               Century Maintenance Supply, Inc. and Subsidiaries
             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation

         Century Maintenance Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") distribute general maintenance supplies and air conditioning and
heating equipment and parts to apartment complexes throughout the United States.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Century Maintenance Supply, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

         The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information or footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The
Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2000 and the
condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future
operations.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

2.   Recapitalization

         Effective July 8, 1998, the Company completed a recapitalization of the
company pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger ("Recapitalization"). The
transaction occurred as follows:

     .   FS Equity Partners IV, L.P. ("FSEP IV"), formed Century Acquisition
         Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Acquisition Co.") on April 21,
         1998.

     .   FSEP IV made an equity contribution of $67,451,190 to Acquisition Co.
         and two other investors contributed a total of $875,000 to Acquisition
         Co. (the "Equity Investment"). All of the outstanding capital stock of
         Acquisition Co. was held by FSEP IV and such other investors.

     .   The Company issued $40,000,000 of Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred
         Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), $12,000,000 of which was purchased by
         affiliated parties.

     .   The Company obtained new secured term loan facilities with an aggregate
         principal amount of $100,000,000 (see Note 6).

                                       7
<PAGE>

     .   Acquisition Co. was merged into the Company (with the Company as the
         surviving corporation) and Acquisition Co.'s outstanding capital stock
         was converted into 2,969,820 newly issued shares of the Company.

     .   Pursuant to the merger, the Company applied the proceeds of the Equity
         Investment of $68,326,190, proceeds of the secured term loan facilities
         of $100,000,000 and the proceeds of the Preferred Stock of $40,000,000
         to convert 7,561,355 shares of the Company held by the primary
         shareholder (Dennis C. Bearden) and the Management Owners (certain
         management employees of the Company) (collectively, the "Continuing
         Shareholders") and 236,950 options into cash of approximately
         $178,300,000, and paid certain costs and expenses associated with the
         Recapitalization which totaled approximately $14,280,000. Of the
         approximately $14,280,000 of costs and expenses, approximately
         $8,702,000 was expensed through September 30, 1998 and the remainder,
         which related to the Preferred Stock and the credit facility, was
         offset against proceeds or capitalized as deferred financing costs (see
         below). The purchase of the options to purchase shares of common stock
         from employees resulted in a compensation charge of approximately
         $4,092,000.

3.   Income Taxes

         The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial statement basis and income
tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

         The Company's interim provisions for income taxes were computed using
its estimated effective tax rate for the year.

4.   Stockholders' Equity

         Effective January 14, 2000, the Company repurchased 97,727 shares of
common stock from a stockholder for $586,362. These shares have been placed in
treasury.

         On July 1, 1997, the Company granted 620,033 non-qualified, fully
vested stock options to purchase common stock, with an exercise price of $1.74
per common share and with an expiration date of three years after the date of
grant. On July 11, 1997, the Company granted 322,095 non-qualified, fully vested
stock options to purchase common stock, with an exercise price of $3.04 per
common share and with an expiration date of three years after the date of grant.

         Effective July 1, 2000, the options issued by the Company on July 1,
1997 were exercised.  Certain optionees received loans from the Company to pay
the exercise price for the options.

         In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company adopted the 1998
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which options may be granted to
eligible employees of the Company for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,642,500
shares of common stock of the Company. The 1998 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
is administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). On July 9, 1998, the
Company granted 692,000 non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock
with an exercise price of $10.00 per common share with an expiration date of
seven years after the date of grant. The stock options granted become
exercisable over a four-year period based on the Company meeting certain
financial goals each year or on a cumulative basis over the four-year period as
set forth in the stock option agreement. The grant is being recorded using
variable plan accounting and as of September 30, 2000, no compensation expense
has been recorded.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         On June 15, 2000, the Company granted non-qualified options to purchase
90,450 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $10.00 per
share with an expiration date of seven years after the date of grant. The stock
options granted vest over a three year period, with the first vesting date
occurring on July 9, 2000 and all options vesting in full on July 9, 2002. The
grant is being recorded using variable plan accounting and as of September 30,
2000, no compensation expense has been recorded.

         In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company granted to a new
director of the Company 50,000 non-qualified stock options to purchase common
stock of the Company. The stock options have an exercise price of $10.00 per
common share with an expiration of seven years after the grant date and are
fully vested and exercisable.

         In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company granted a primary
shareholder 180,000 non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock of the
Company with an exercise price of $10.00 per common share with an expiration of
seven years after the grant date. The stock options become exercisable over a
three-year period based on the Company meeting certain financial goals each year
or on a cumulative basis over the three-year period as set forth in the stock
option agreement. The grant is being recorded using variable plan accounting and
as of September 30, 2000, no compensation expense has been recorded.

5.   Preferred Stock

         As part of the Recapitalization the Company sold $40.0 million of 13
1/4% Senior Exchangeable PIK (Payment-in-kind) Preferred Stock of which $12.0
million was sold to affiliates of the Company. The preferred stock is due in
2010 with an aggregate liquidation preference of $40.0 million or $100 per
share. Dividends are payable semi-annually in cash, except that on each dividend
payment date on or prior to July 1, 2003, dividends may be paid, at the
Company's option, by issuance of additional shares of preferred stock. The
Company's credit facility currently prohibits the payment of cash dividends on
the preferred stock. The preferred stock is subject to mandatory redemption at
its liquidation preference, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, on July 1,
2010. The Company may redeem the preferred stock in accordance with certain
redemption provisions at a date earlier than July 1, 2010. If the Company elects
to redeem the preferred stock on or before July 1, 2003 the redemption price
will be 113.25% of the liquidation preference price of $100 per share. Holders
of preferred stock have no voting rights. In 1999, the Company issued 53,656
shares of additional preferred stock as payment-in-kind for dividends on the
Company's existing preferred stock. On January 1, 2000 and July 1, 2000, the
Company issued 30,052 shares, and 32,043 shares, respectively, of additional
preferred stock as payment-in-kind for dividends on the Company's existing
preferred stock.

         At any time, the Company may, at its option, exchange all of the shares
of preferred stock then outstanding for exchange debentures in a principal
amount equal to the liquidation preference of the shares being exchanged. The
exchange debentures would have interest of 13 1/4% and would be due in 2010. The
Company's credit facility currently prohibits the Company from exchanging the
preferred stock. The Company incurred $2,803,000 of costs as part of the sale of
the preferred stock which has been offset against the proceeds. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 the Company has accreted $175,160 to retained
earnings as part of dividends accrued.

         In September 2000, the Company repurchased 51,573 shares of its
redeemable exchangeable preferred stock for $3,906,655.

6.   Credit Facility

         On July 8, 1998, as part of the Recapitalization, the Company entered
into a credit facility, providing for $100.0 million of secured term loan
facilities and a $25.0 million revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility"). The term loan facility consists of a $40.0 million Tranche A Term
Facility and a $60.0 million Tranche B Term Facility (collectively called the
"Term Loan Facility"). The Term Loan Facility will amortize over a five-year
period for the Tranche A Term Facility and a seven-year period for the Tranche B
Term Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on July 8, 2003.
The interest rate under the Credit Facility is variable and based, at the option
of the Company, upon either a Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% (for the Revolving
Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Facility) and 2.75% (for the Tranche B
Term Facility) per annum or a base rate plus 1.5% (for the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Facility) and 1.75% (for the
Tranche B Term Facility) per annum. If the Company achieves certain performance
goals, rates under the Tranche A Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility
will be reduced. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum will be charged on the
unused portion of the new Revolving Credit Facility.

         The credit facility contains certain non-financial and financial
covenants. The Company incurred $4,552,000 of costs as part of obtaining the
credit facility which have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The
Company amortizes the costs over the average life of the credit facility. For
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 the Company recognized
amortization expense of $571,589.

         Effective September 30, 1998, the Company entered into two three-year
interest rate swap agreements to reduce a portion of its interest rate exposure
on its credit facility. Under the terms of the first agreement, the Company pays
8.81% on notional principal of $29,925,000 and receives LIBOR plus 2.75% on the
notional balance. Under the terms of the second agreement, the Company pays
8.54% on a notional balance of $20,000,000, which declines to $13,000,000 in
2001, and receives LIBOR plus 2.5% on the notional balance.

         On July 14, 2000, the credit facility was amended allowing the Company
more flexibility in meeting certain financial covenants.

7.   Champion Acquisition

         In April 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
Champion Blind and Drapery, Inc. (the "Champion Acquisition") in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was $1,550,000,
which was paid in cash, and resulted in goodwill of approximately $1,100,000
being recorded. The historical operations of Champion Blind and Drapery, Inc.
for periods prior to the acquisition are not material to the operations of the
Company.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion of Century Maintenance Supply, Inc. and its
subsidiaries' (collectively, the "Company" or "Century") condensed consolidated
historical results of operations and financial condition should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward Looking Statements

         This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other
than statements of historical fact included in this Report, including without
limitation, certain statements under this Item 2 and the Company's condensed
financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report
regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, prospects and
other related matters may constitute such forward-looking statements. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Actual results could differ materially from the Company's
expectations as a result of a number of factors, including without limitation
those set forth below and those located elsewhere in this Report and in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, effective January 21,
1999 (File Number 333-62635).

General

         Century has grown through a combination of increasing sales at its
existing distribution centers, by opening new distribution centers and through
the acquisitions of Nationwide Apartment Supply, Inc. in July 1997 (the
"Nationwide Acquisition") and Champion Blind and Drapery, Inc. in April 1999
(the "Champion Acquisition"). As part of its strategy of expanding into new
geographic markets, the Company opened 22 new distribution centers from 1994
through the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Historically, a typical center
breaks even within three years of opening, and operating margins continue to
improve as the center's revenue grows. The Nationwide Acquisition added 11
distribution centers principally in the Midwestern United States, three of which
were consolidated into existing Century centers.

The Recapitalization

         On July 8, 1998, the Company completed a recapitalization (the
"Recapitalization") pursuant to which affiliates of Freeman Spogli & Co. LLC
("FS&Co.") invested $67.5 million, a director of the Company invested $750,000,
and a third party, The Parthenon Group, invested $125,000, in cash for common
stock of the Company (the "Common Stock Investment") and certain existing
stockholders of the Company (the "Continuing Stockholders") retained common
stock with a value of $54.2 million (based on the valuation of the Company used
in the Recapitalization). As part of the Recapitalization, shares of Series A 13
1/4% Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred Stock due 2010 of the Company (the
"Initial Preferred Stock") with an aggregate liquidation preference of $28.0
million were sold in a private placement to institutional investors. In
addition, shares of Series B 13 1/4% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock of the
Company with an aggregate liquidation preference of $12.0 million were sold to
FS&Co. and Dennis C. Bearden, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in a
private placement that was consummated simultaneously with the sale of the
Initial Preferred Stock (the "Private Placement" and, together with the sale of
the Initial Preferred Stock, the "Sales of Preferred"). Immediately following
consummation of the Recapitalization, FS&Co. and the Continuing Stockholders
beneficially owned approximately 55.1% and 44.2% of the outstanding common stock
of the Company, respectively, and FS&Co. and Mr. Bearden beneficially owned
10.0% and 20.0% respectively of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company.

         On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the
"Credit Facility") providing for a $100.0 million secured term loan facility
(the "Term Loan Facility"), which was funded in connection with the consummation
of the Recapitalization, and a $25.0 million revolving loan facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility").

                                       11

The Revolving Credit Facility will be available to the Company and its
subsidiaries (i) for future working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii)
to finance certain permitted acquisitions, and (iii) for issuing commercial and
standby letters of credit.

         The sale of the Initial Preferred Stock and the Private Placement and
the application of the net proceeds from each, the payments to the Continuing
Stockholders and to option holders under the Recapitalization Agreement, the
Common Stock Investment and the related borrowings under the Credit Facility are
collectively referred to herein as the "Recapitalization."

         On February 19, 1999, the Initial Preferred Stock was exchanged for
Century's Series C 13 1/4% Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred Stock (the
"Exchange Preferred Stock"), which was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Century's Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, effective
January 21, 1999 (File Number 333-62635).

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

         Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $75.0
million, an increase of $5.3 million or 7.5% over the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase in net sales was primarily due to comparable
center growth of 6.3%, the opening of new distribution centers in Milwaukee and
Philadelphia. The growth however was affected by the mild weather in the midwest
states and one less business day over the quarter ending September 30, 1999.

         The Company's gross profit for the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $20.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 12.2% over the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 primarily due to the increase in net sales discussed
above. As a percentage of net sales, the Company's gross profit increased to
27.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from 26.6% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expense, consisting primarily of
payroll, occupancy and vehicle expenses, totaled $10.7 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $0.9 million or 9.5% over the quarter
ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expense increased to 14.3% for the three months ended September
30, 2000 from 14.0% in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily attributable to the opening of new distribution centers and the
expansion of the blind business.

         Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $2.5
million, an increase of $0.1 million or 4.3% from the quarter ended September
30, 1999, primarily due to an increase in market interest rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999

         Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $200.3
million, an increase of $22.7 million or 12.8% over the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase in net sales was primarily due to comparable
center growth of 10.8%, the opening of new distribution centers in Milwaukee and
Philadelphia and the Champion Acquisition.

         The Company's gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was $55.6 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 14.4% over the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 primarily due to the increase in net sales

                                       13

discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, the Company's gross profit
increased to 27.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 27.4% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expense, consisting primarily of
payroll, occupancy and vehicle expenses, totaled $30.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $3.4 million or 12.3% over the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expense decreased to 15.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from 15.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the leveraging of costs due to the
increase in sales.

         Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $7.3
million, an increase of $0.3 million or 4.2% from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily due to an increase in market interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary capital requirements have been the funding of its
continued distribution center expansion program, inventory requirements and the
development and implementation of customized information systems. From 1996 to
the quarter ended September 30, 2000 the Company opened 13 new distribution
centers. The Company has financed its growth through a combination of internally
generated funds and borrowings.

         In April 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
Champion Blind and Drapery, Inc. (the "Champion Acquisition") in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was $1,550,000,
which was paid in cash, and resulted in goodwill of approximately $1,100,000
being recorded. The historical operations of Champion Blind and Drapery, Inc.
for periods prior to the acquisition are not material to the operations of the
Company.

         In the first nine months of 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $2.0 million, increasing from $0.5 million of net cash used in
the first nine months of 1999. Net cash used by investing activities in the
first nine months of 2000 was $1.3 million, decreasing from $3.6 million of net
cash used in the first nine months of 1999 and was due to a decrease in capital
expenditures and the acquisition of Champion in the second quarter of 1999. Net
cash used by financing activities in the first nine months of 2000 was $4.0
million, decreasing from net cash provided of $1.3 million in the first nine
months of 1999 primarily due to the repurchase of preferred stock.

         The Company currently anticipates that its capital expenditures,
excluding potential acquisitions, for 2000 and 2001 will be approximately $2.0
million in each year. Inventories were $35.7 million as of September 30, 2000
and $33.5 million at December 31, 1999. In order to meet the needs of its
customers, the Company must maintain inventories sufficient to permit same day
or next day filling of most orders. The Company anticipates that its inventory
levels will continue to increase primarily to support higher sales volumes and
new center openings. Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances were $36.1
million at September 30, 2000 and $26.1 million at December 31, 1999. The
Company generally offers 30-day credit terms to its customers. The Company's
working capital requirements are typically higher in the second and third
quarters to meet seasonal demand. This is due primarily to the fact that more
people move during the summer months when school is out, causing apartment
managers to purchase more supplies to make apartments ready for new occupants.
Also, hot summer months translate into a higher volume of HVAC sales due to the
need for air conditioning parts.

         The Company has outstanding indebtedness consisting of borrowings of
$89.9 million under the Term Loan Facility. The Company has access to a total of
$25.0 million through the Revolving Credit Facility. As of November 13, 2000,
the Company had $2.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility, which the Company anticipates repaying during 2000. The Tranche
A Term Facility will mature on July 8, 2003 and the Tranche B Term Facility will
mature on July 8, 2005. Annual required principal payments on the Term Loan
Facility are $7.6 million, $12.6 million, $14.6 million, $23.0 million and $34.0
million over the next five years. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on
July 8, 2003. The interest rate under the Credit Facility is variable and based,
at the option of the Company, upon either a Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% (for the
Revolving Credit

                                       14
<PAGE>

Facility and the Tranche A Term Facility) and 2.75% (for the Tranche B Term
Facility) per annum or a base rate plus 1.5% (for the Revolving Credit Facility
and the Tranche A Term Facility) and 1.75% (for the Tranche B Term Facility) per
annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, because the Company
achieved certain performance goals, rates under the Tranche A Term Facility and
the Revolving Credit Facility have been reduced in increments as agreed. The
Company also covenanted to enter into specified interest rate protection
arrangements, including interest rate swaps, to reduce the Company's exposure to
fluctuations in the rates of interest payable under the Credit Facility. In mid-
July 1998, the Company entered into such interest rate swap transactions with
respect to $50.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, which
became effective September 30, 1998. At November 13, 2000 the interest rate for
the Revolving Credit Facility was 10.75%, the Tranche A Facility was 8.9375% and
the Tranche B Facility was 9.4375%. The interest rate for the portion of the
Term Loan Facility under the interest rate swap is 8.54% for $15.6 million under
the Tranche A Facility and 8.81% for $29.9 million under the Tranche B Facility.
A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum will be charged on the unused portion of the
Credit Facility. The loans under the Credit Facility are secured by a first
priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets
of the Company and its subsidiaries (including the capital stock of the
subsidiaries).

         Borrowings under the Credit Facility are required to be prepaid with
(a) 75% (or 50% upon satisfaction of a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio) of the
Company's Excess Cash Flow, (b) 100% of the net proceeds of issuances of debt
obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (c) 100% of the net cash
proceeds from asset dispositions of the Company and its subsidiaries, (d) 50% of
the net proceeds of issuances of equity of the Company and its subsidiaries,
except that if an equity issuance occurs other than as part of a Public Equity
Offering (as defined) of the Company's common stock, then 100% of the net
proceeds of such offering are required to be applied to prepay the Credit
Facility, and (e) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recoveries over $1.0
million and condemnations, after application of such insurance recoveries or
condemnation proceeds to repair the property involved. "Excess Cash Flow," for
any period, means EBITDA (as defined) for such period, less the sum of (a)(i)
permitted capital expenditures, (ii) taxes, (iii) consolidated interest expense,
(iv) increases in Adjusted Working Capital (as defined) for such period, (v)
scheduled and mandatory payments of debts, (vi) voluntary prepayments of the
Term Loan Facility, (vii) payments in connection with purchases of the Company's
Capital Stock, (viii) cash consideration paid for certain permitted acquisitions
(but excluding cash consideration funded by a borrowing under the Revolving
Credit Facility), and (ix) cash dividends paid on the Exchange Preferred Stock
to the extent permitted by the Credit Facility, plus the sum of: (b)(i)
decreases in adjusted working capital for such period, (ii) refunds of taxes
paid in prior periods, and (iii) proceeds of certain indebtedness.

         The Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the ability of the
Company and the Company's subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur
additional debt, (ii) declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock,
(iii) prepay, redeem or purchase debt, (iv) incur liens, (v) make loans and
investments, (vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) engage in mergers,
acquisitions and asset sales and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates.
The Company is also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to
(a) limits on annual aggregate capital expenditures, (b) a fixed charge coverage
ratio, (c) a maximum leverage ratio, (d) a minimum EBITDA and (e) an interest
coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance, as of November 13, 2000, with the
provisions of the Credit Facility.

         In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company issued 280,000
shares of its Initial Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference
of $28.0 million, and 120,000 shares of preferred stock pursuant to the Private
Placement, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $12.0 million. On
February 19, 1999, the Initial Preferred Stock was exchanged for the Company's
Series C 13 1/4% Senior Exchangeable PIK Preferred Stock due 2010 which has been
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-4, as amended, effective January 21, 1999 (File Number
333-62635). At the election of the Company, dividends on the Exchange Preferred
Stock may be paid in kind until July 1, 2003 and thereafter must be paid in
cash. In 1999, the Company issued 53,656 shares of additional preferred stock as
payment-in-kind for dividends on the Exchange Preferred Stock. On January 1,
2000 and July 1, 2000 the Company issued 30,052 shares and 32,043 shares,
respectively, of additional preferred stock as payment-in-kind for dividends on
the Exchange Preferred Stock. The Credit Facility currently prohibits the

         The Company is a holding company and relies on dividends and other
distributions from its subsidiaries as its primary source of liquidity. The
Company does not have and in the future may not have any assets other than the
capital stock of its subsidiaries. The ability of subsidiaries of the Company to
make payments to the Company when required may be restricted by law and
restricted or prohibited under the terms of the Credit Facility and future
indebtedness of the Company. No assurance can be made that subsidiaries of the
Company will be able to pay cash dividends or make other distributions to the
Company.

         The Company believes that, based on current levels of operations and
anticipated growth, its cash from operations, together with other available
sources of liquidity, including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to fund its debt service obligations and implement its growth
strategy over the next 12 months.

New Accounting Standards

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." A derivative is a financial instrument that takes or "derives" its
value from the value of another financial instrument or instruments. Statement
No. 133 requires that a Company recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities on its balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Statement No. 133, as amended, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning June 15, 2000. Management currently believes that this
new accounting standard should not have any material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
SAB 101, as amended, is effective beginning the fourth quarter of 2000.
Management currently believes that this new accounting pronouncement should not
have any material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         In September 2000, the FASB Emerging Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF
No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." EITF No. 00-10
addresses the classification and disclosure of shipping and handling costs in
financial statements and is effective beginning the fourth quarter of 2000.
