Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Pullman Industries, Inc., Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Entity
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pullman Industries, Inc., Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Entity (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Linde + Pullman AG and subsidiaries (LPAG), an unconsolidated subsidiary. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the investment in LPAG, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audit and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pullman Industries, Inc., Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Entity at December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Pullman Industries, Inc., Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Entity
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Pullman Industries, Inc. (“Pullman”), Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Entity (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged primarily in the manufacturing of roll-formed components for the automotive industry. Pullman has manufacturing facilities located in South Haven and Grand Haven, Michigan and in Butler, Indiana. Pullman also has two production facilities in Mexico through a joint venture arrangement, Linde Pullman de Mexico (LPM), the operations of which are accounted for on the equity method.
As further described in Note 14, effective February 9, 2005, Pullman’s former parent, 801 Acquisition Company, was merged into Pullman, which was the surviving corporation.
Organization and Business - The Company conducts substantially all business with three U.S. automotive manufacturers. Accordingly, substantially all sales in 2005 and trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 are from these customers.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of Pullman and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, as well as a variable interest entity (VIE) described below for which Pullman is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and earnings have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Pullman Industries IC-DISC, Inc. (“IC-DISC”) was organized in 2005 for the purpose of transacting certain sales activity on behalf of Pullman. Pullman is the primary beneficiary of IC-DISC, which qualifies as a VIE under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.At December 31, 2005, the assets, liabilities, and equity of IC-DISC were not significant to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Commission expense totaling $2,412,479 in 2005 was charged by IC-DISC to Pullman and has been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Revenues and Cost Recognition - Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

December 31, 2005
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Trade Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a specific assessment of all invoices that remain unpaid following normal customer payment periods. In addition, a general valuation allowance is established for other accounts receivable based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that determination is made. At December 31, 2005, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $750,000.
According to the terms of various programs, certain customers provide steel to the Company and charge the Company. At the time the Company invoices these same customers for sales, the customers have the right to offset amounts due to them with the amounts due to the Company. Accordingly, accounts receivable have been reduced by payables due to those customers of approximately $10,491,000 at December 31, 2005.
Inventory - Substantially all inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Unbilled Customer Tooling Costs - Unbilled customer tooling costs represent tooling costs for which the Company expects reimbursement from the customer. Customer tooling costs incurred and capitalized during 2005 represent tooling costs for which customer reimbursement is contractually committed. Costs incurred in excess of the customer reimbursement are expensed as incurred and gains on tooling programs are recorded when realized.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company depreciates property and equipment over their useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease.
Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and approximated $3,428,000 in 2005.
Foreign Currency Translation - The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at period end, and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The effects of the foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Other Comprehensive Income - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. However, certain adjustments, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and components of comprehensive income on the consolidated statement of equity.
Recoverability of Equity Method Investments and Advances to Affiliates - - The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its equity method investments and advances to affiliates. If an identified event or change in circumstances requires an impairment evaluation, management assesses fair value based various valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds, and external appraisals, as appropriate. If an investment or advance is considered to be impaired and the decline in value is other than temporary, an appropriate write-down is recorded (see Note 9).
Income Taxes - A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between book and tax accounting and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As discussed further in Note 7, effective January 1, 2006, Pullman elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for income tax purposes.
Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs are recorded as costs of sales as they are incurred.
Use of Estimates - 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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Labor - Employees at Pullman’s two South Haven, Michigan manufacturing facilities are covered under separate collective bargaining agreements that expire on October 6, 2009 and September 10, 2010. At December 31, 2005, approximately 52 percent of Pullman’s total labor force is covered by these agreements.

Note 5 - Notes Payable (Continued)
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the bank term note are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and are subject to various financial and nonfinancial covenants that require, among other things, certain periodic reporting and the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth levels, leverage, and fixed charge coverage ratios.
Minimal principal payments on notes payable subsequent to December 31, 2005 are as follows:
2006 | $ | 5,746,595 | |
2007 | 6,566,114 | ||

Interest expense on affiliate notes payable approximated $203,000 in 2005.
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement maturing October 15, 2010, in order to convert $15,000,000 of the variable rate bank term note payable described above to a fixed rate of 4.38 percent. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of the swap was not significant at December 31, 2005. There were no gains or losses recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness in 2005.
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company’s credit agreement with its bank group was amended in connection with an affiliate’s acquisition of Linde + Wiemann’s interest in the Linde + Pullman AG joint venture, as further discussed in Note 9.
Note 6 - Lease Commitments
The Company leases three manufacturing facilities, two of which are located in South Haven, Michigan and one located in Butler, Indiana under “triple net” operating leases. The lease terms vary and extend through 2015. In addition to base lease payments, the Company is obligated to pay all building operating costs including utilities, maintenance, insurance, and other costs on the property. Annual payments under two of the leases increase for cost of living over the term of the leases. For financial reporting purposes, annual lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the annual expense for financial reporting purposes and the annual payments is reflected as a deferred lease obligation and included as a liability. Base rent expense for the three facilities totaled $2,262,000 in 2005.

Future minimum rental payments required under these operating leases with noncancelable items are as follows:
Years Ending December 31 | Amount | ||

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
Note 7 - Income Taxes (Continued)
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed by applying the statutory United States federal tax rate to income before taxes is as follows:
Income tax expense - Computed at 35 percent of pretax income | $ | 4,977,000 | ||
Effect of nondeductible expenses | 51,000 | |||
Effect of foreign income exclusion | (18,000 | ) | ||
Effect of nontaxable income | (122,000 | ) | ||
Research tax credits | (350,000 | ) | ||
Effect of nontaxable commission income | (844,000 | ) | ||
Adjustment of prior year estimates and other | (348,000 | ) | ||
Total income tax expense | $ | 3,346,000 | ||
The details of the net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2005 are as follows:
Total deferred tax liabilities | $ | (5,775,000 | ) | |
Total deferred tax recovery | 1,567,000 | |||
Net deferred tax liability | $ | (4,208,000 | ) | |
Deferred tax recoveries result from temporary differences in the recognition of expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Such differences are principally due to recognition of allowance for bad debts, general liability reserves, and workers’ compensation and self-funded health insurance reserves. Deferred tax liabilities result primarily from accelerated tax depreciation methods.
No valuation allowance has been recognized for the deferred tax recovery.
Subsequent to year end, Pullman elected to be taxed as an S Corporation for income tax purposes effective January 1, 2006. Under this election, Pullman’s stockholders will report future taxable income or loss and pay any income tax or receive any tax benefit personally. Deferred tax recoveries and liabilities previously described will be eliminated in the Company’s 2006 consolidated financial statements. In the event Pullman realizes a taxable gain from the sale of any assets prior to January 1, 2016, Pullman will be required to pay federal income taxes thereon to the extent such a gain cannot be attributed to the period since the effective date of the election.
Note 8 - Retirement Plan and Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company sponsors two defined contribution plans in accordance with the provisions of Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

December 31, 2005
Note 8 - Retirement Plan and Deferred Compensation Plans (Continued)
The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan under two collective bargaining agreements and contributes a specified amount per hour for all straight-time hours worked by eligible collectively bargained employees.
The Company also sponsors a defined contribution plan covering substantially all eligible noncollectively bargained employees. The Company makes discretionary contributions equal to 50 percent of participant contributions, up to the first 7 percent of each participant’s eligible compensation.
The Company’s matching and discretionary contribution expense related to the defined contribution plans described above approximated $835,000 in 2005.
The Company sponsors a discretionary deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees are awarded units that are assigned a value based on changes in the Company’s equity. The value of the plan shares is calculated each December 31 and payment of the accrued benefits is scheduled to occur on March 15, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011. Participants must be employees of the Company on December 31 preceding the payment date to be eligible for any payment. Participants are not required to purchase units in the plan in order to benefit. Payments totaling $455,000 were made to plan participants on March 15, 2005. Charges against operating results to record the Company’s obligation under the plan approximated $251,000 in 2005.
Note 9 - Acquisitions, Joint Venture, and Investments
The Company is a partner in Linde + Pullman AG (LPAG), an equally owned joint venture with Linde + Wiemann, a German company. LPAG was established primarily to develop, produce, and market system solutions based on roll-forming/profile technology. LPAG’s operations are primarily in Mexico, and it currently owns a 98 percent interest in Linde Pullman de Mexico (LPM), a Mexican manufacturing entity. LPM, through two wholly owned subsidiaries in Mexico, produces parts for the North American automotive industry. At December 31, 2005, the Company guaranteed the lesser of 50 percent of LPM’s total outstanding bank debt or $7.0 million. LPM’s outstanding borrowings totaled approximately $13.4 million at December 31, 2005 and are payable through May 2009. The Company does not hold specific recourse or collateral rights in connection with the guarantee. An accrued liability totaling $210,000 has been recorded by the Company as an estimate of the fair value of the guarantee.

Note 9 - Acquisitions, Joint Venture, and Investments (Continued)
The Company has historically accounted for its investment in LPAG under the equity method. As of December 31, 2005, cumulative capital contributions and cash advances made to LPAG since inception approximated $10.5 million. During 2005, an impairment charge totaling $1.3 million was recorded against remaining advances and receivables from LPAG and LPM due to the uncertainty of collection in the forseeable future. Accordingly, at December 31, 2005, the Company has fully reserved its cumulative investment in, and advances to, LPAG and has discontinued accounting for LPAG under the equity method. LPAG’s assets and liabilities totaled $47.8 million and $56.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005. Financial information related to LPAG’s primary underlying investee, LPM, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 is summarized as follows:
Total assets | $ | 47,665,000 | ||

On March 30, 2006, the Company and TMW Enterprises, Inc. (TMW), an affiliated entity related through common ownership, entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “Memorandum”) with Linde + Wiemann whereby TMW would acquire Linde + Wiemann’s entire interest in LPAG for $750,000. Consumation of the Memorandum was subject to LPM obtaining adequate financing to fund its 2006 working capital needs, as well as the approval of the Company’s bank group. The Memorandum also required LPM to capitalize certain debt obligations outstanding to Linde + Wiemann. As of June 28, 2006, the key provisions of the Memorandum have been consumated. The Company’s credit agreement, as described in Note 5, has also been amended to allow it to advance an additional $2.95 million to LPM as part of a 2006 funding plan and its guarantee of LPM’s total outstanding bank debt can be increased to $12 million. Additional bank loans totaling $5.1 million have been made directly to LPM by its primary lender as part of the restructuring.

Note 9 - Acquisitions, Joint Venture, and Investments (Continued)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,in January 2003 and subsequently revised the Interpretation in December 2003. FIN 46 requires consolidation of variable interest entities with certain characteristics. Variable interest entities can include entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as well as entities to which loans have been made and for which guarantees of indebtedness have also been made. As a result of the presence of these characteristics, and in light of the aforementioned joint venture restructuring changes that transpired subsequent to year end, Company management is currently assessing the potential applicability and impact of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for future reporting periods.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
Pullman Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pullman Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a wholly owned subsidiary of 801 Acquisition Company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Linde + Pullman AG and subsidiaries (LPAG), an unconsolidated subsidiary, representing equity method losses of $2,900,000 and $157,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the investment in LPAG, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pullman Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Pullman Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a wholly owned subsidiary of 801 Acquisition Company) (the “Company”) is engaged primarily in the manufacturing of roll-formed components for the automotive industry. The Company has manufacturing facilities located in South Haven and Grand Haven, Michigan as well as Butler, Indiana. The Company also has two production facilities in Mexico through a joint venture arrangement, Linde Pullman de Mexico (LPM), the operations of which are accounted for on the equity method.
Organization and Business - The Company conducts substantially all business with three U.S. automotive manufacturers. Accordingly, substantially all sales in 2004 and 2003 and substantially all trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are from these customers.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and earnings have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2004, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Concept Engineering, was merged into the Company. There were no significant changes to the Company’s debt structure or business operation as a result of the merger.
Revenues and Cost Recognition - Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Trade Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a specific assessment of all invoices that remain unpaid following normal customer payment periods. In addition, a general valuation allowance is established for other accounts receivable based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that the determination is made. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $250,000 and $426,000, respectively.
According to terms of various programs, certain customers provide steel to the Company and charge the Company. At the time the Company invoices these same customers for sales, the customers have the right to offset amounts due to them with the amounts due to the Company. Accordingly, accounts receivable have been reduced by payables due to those customers of approximately $17,425,000 and $7,661,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Inventory - Substantially all inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Unbilled Customer Tooling Costs - Unbilled customer tooling costs represent tooling costs for which the Company expects reimbursement from the customer. Customer tooling costs incurred and capitalized during 2004 and 2003 represent tooling costs for which customer reimbursement is contractually committed. Costs incurred in excess of the customer reimbursement are expensed as incurred and gains on tooling programs are recorded when realized.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company depreciates property and equipment over their useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease.
Intangible Assets - - Intangible assets subject to amortization at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:
2004 | 2003 | |||||||||||
Gross Carrying Value | Accumulated Amortization | Gross Carrying Value | Accumulated Amortization | |||||||||
Tooling | $ | 922,000 | $ | 691,000 | $ | 922,000 | $ | 538,000 | ||||

Total | $ | 1,331,000 | $ | 916,000 | $ | 1,321,000 | $ | 697,000 | ||||
Amortization expense for intangible assets approximated $219,000 in 2004 and $205,000 in 2003.
Amortization expense for intangible assets estimated for each of the next three years is as follows:
2005 | $ | 215,000 | |
2006 | 135,000 | ||
2007 | 65,000 |
Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and approximated $3,399,000 in 2004 and $3,386,000 in 2003.

December 31, 2004 and 2003
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation - Prior to 2003, the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Balance sheet accounts were translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at period end, and revenue and expenses were translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company’s foreign subsidiary changed its functional currency from the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, the translated amounts for the nonmonetary assets, primarily property and equipment, became the accounting basis for those assets subsequent to that date. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are considered in arriving at comprehensive income included as a component of stockholder’s equity.
Other Comprehensive Income - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. However, foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and components of comprehensive income on the consolidated statement of operations.
Recoverability of Equity Method Investments and Advances to Affiliates - The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its equity method investments and advances to affiliates. If an identified event or change in circumstances requires an impairment evaluation, management assesses fair value based various valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds and external appraisals, as appropriate. If an investment or advance is considered to be impaired and the decline in value is other than temporary, an appropriate write-down is recorded (see Note 8).
Income Taxes - A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary timing differences between book and tax accounting and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Use of Estimates - 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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Labor - Employees at the Company’s two South Haven, Michigan manufacturing facilities are covered under separate collective bargaining agreements that expire in November 2005 and January 2006. At December 31, 2004, approximately 59 percent of the Company’s total labor force is covered by these agreements.

The new agreement with the bank group provides for a $15 million working capital revolving line of credit and $32 million term loan, each maturing February 18, 2010. The new revolving line of credit has substantially the same terms and conditions as the facilities which were refinanced and provides for interest rate incentives if certain covenants are achieved. The new term loan obligation requires quarterly payments of principal plus interest at varying interest rate schedules based on the Company’s financial results.
Borrowings under the line of credit and the bank term note are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and have various financial and nonfinancial covenants that require, among other things, certain periodic reporting, maintenance of debt service coverage levels, and maximum debt levels.

Valuation allowance recognized for deferred tax recovery | — | — | ||||||
Net deferred tax liability | $ | (2,851,000 | ) | $ | (2,859,500 | ) | ||
Deferred tax recoveries result from temporary differences in the recognition of expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Such differences are principally due to recognition of price reduction reserves, allowance for bad debts, general liability reserves, workers’ compensation and self-funded health insurance reserves, and various tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities result primarily from accelerated tax depreciation methods.
Note 7 - Retirement Plan and Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company sponsors several defined contribution plans in accordance with the provisions of Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan under various collective bargaining agreements and contributes a specified amount per hour for all straight-time hours worked by eligible collectively bargained employees.

Note 7 - Retirement Plan and Deferred Compensation Plans (Continued)
The Company also sponsors a defined contribution plan covering substantially all eligible non-collectively bargained employees. The Company makes discretionary contributions equal to 50 percent of participant contributions, up to the first 7 percent of each participant’s eligible gross wages.
The Company’s matching and discretionary contribution expense related to the defined contribution plans described above approximated $814,000 in 2004 and $774,000 in 2003.
The Company sponsors a discretionary deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees are awarded units that are assigned a value based on changes in the parent’s stockholder’s equity. The value of the plan shares is calculated each December 31 and payment of the accrued benefits is scheduled to occur on March 15 of 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011. Participants must be employees of the Company on December 31 preceding the payment date to be eligible for any payment. Participants are not required to purchase units in the plan in order to benefit. Charges against operating results to record the Company’s obligation under the plan approximated $175,000 in 2003. There were no charges against operating results in 2004.
Note 8 - Acquisitions, Joint Venture, and Investments
The Company is a partner in Linde + Pullman AG (LPAG), an equally owned joint venture with Linde + Wiemann, a German company. LPAG was established primarily to develop, produce, and market system solutions based on roll-forming/profile technology. LPAG’s operations are primarily in Mexico, and it currently owns a 98 percent interest in Linde Pullman de Mexico (LPM), a Mexican manufacturing entity. LPM, through two wholly owned subsidiaries in Mexico, produces parts for the North American automotive industry. The Company guarantees the lesser of 50 percent of LPM’s total outstanding bank debt or $7.0 million. LPM’s outstanding borrowings totaled $14.37 million and $9.45 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are payable through May 2009. The Company does not hold specific recourse or collateral rights in connection with the guarantee. At December 31, 2004, an accrued liability totaling $280,000 has been recorded by the Company as an estimate of the fair value of the guarantee. In connection with LPM’s new 2004 credit agreement, the Company agreed to convert its $1.0 million advance to LPM to equity. The conversion has been treated as a noncash investing activity in the 2004 financial statements.

Note 14 - Recent Accounting Pronouncement (Continued)
Variable interest entities can include entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as well as entities to which loans have been made and for which guarantees of indebtedness have also been made. The Company currently has investments accounted for under the equity method and has guaranteed affiliate debt obligations, as described in Note 8. As of December 31, 2004, consolidated assets and liabilities of the entities were approximately $42.8 million and $49.3 million, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss resulting from its involvement with the entities as of December 31, 2004 was approximately $7.5 million. The Company will adopt FIN 46 effective January 1, 2005. Management is currently assessing the potential applicability and impact of this new accounting pronouncement to the Company’s financial statements for future reporting periods.
