Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the Company, which may be referred to as we, us or our) prepared the consolidated financial statements following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 has been presented for a better understanding of the impact of seasonal fluctuations on our financial condition.

In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. The results for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending September 24, 2005 (“2005”).

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the close of business on the last Saturday in September of each year. Excluding the fourth quarter, each of the Company’s quarters ends on the last day of the respective third calendar month.

We completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) on September 22, 2004 and received the net IPO proceeds on September 28, 2004. In connection with the associated early retirement of debt paid with the proceeds, we recorded a $0.9 million loss in the first quarter of 2005.

You should also read the financial statements and notes included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in that Annual Report.

2. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We calculate basic income (loss) per share by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effects of stock awards.

The following table reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,		Six Months Ended March 31,
	2005	2004	2005	2004
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for basic net income (loss) per share	26,384,001	17,838,459	26,371,317	17,805,460
Dilutive effect of employee stock options	960,122	—	952,211	—
Weighted-average shares assuming dilution	27,344,123	17,838,459	27,323,528	17,805,460

3. Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our employee stock options under the intrinsic value method described by Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). Accordingly, we do not record compensation expense for options issued with an exercise price equal to the stock’s market price on the grant date. If we had accounted for our employee stock options using the fair value method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been (pro forma) as follows:

Unaudited	Three Months Ended March 31,								Six Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2005				2004				2005				2004
Net income (loss), as reported	$	2,418			$		(10,003	)	$	11,161			$	(6,857		)
Add: stock-based compensation, net of tax	103				158				207				158
Less: stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value method, net of tax	(294			)	(264			)	(664			)	(365			)
Pro forma net income (loss)	$	2,227			$	(10,109		)	$		10,704		$		(7,064	)
Basic earnings (loss) per share:
As reported	$		0.09		$	(0.56		)	$		0.42		$		(0.39	)
Pro forma	$		0.08		$	(0.57		)	$		0.41		$		(0.40	)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share:
As reported	$		0.09		$	(0.56		)	$		0.41		$		(0.39	)
Pro forma	$		0.08		$	(0.57		)	$		0.39		$		(0.40	)

4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income (loss). In our case, these consist of foreign currency translation gains or losses as follows:

Unaudited	Three Months Ended March 31,							Six Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004				2005		2004
Net income (loss)	$	2,418		$		(10,003	)	$	11,161	$	(6,857	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(139		)	(220			)	1,128		578
Comprehensive income (loss)	$	2,279		$	(10,223		)	$	12,289	$	(6,279	)

5. Acquisition

On December 15, 2004, we purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of JGA Corp. (“JGA”), a distributor of roofing and other building products with eight branches in Georgia and Florida. This purchase was funded through our revolving line of credit. JGA had net sales of $74 million (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2003. We have included the results of operations for JGA from the date of acquisition and applied preliminary purchase accounting as of the date of acquisition, which resulted in recorded goodwill of $9.6 million as follows (in 000’s):

Net assets	$	9,335
Noncompete	170
Customer relationships	1,500
Trademarks	9,750
Goodwill	9,579
Purchase Price	$	30,334

6. Stock Options

During the first six months of 2005, we granted options to purchase 409,000 shares of Common Stock under our 2004 Stock Plan at closing prices ranging from $17.34 to $21.27 per share on the dates of the grants. As of March 31, 2005, there were remaining options to purchase 1,771,000 shares of Common Stock available for grant under the 2004 Stock Plan.

7. Debt

Effective September 28, 2004, the Company amended its senior secured credit facilities (revolving lines of credit and term loans). The amendment extends the maturity date of the facilities to September 30, 2009, including extending the installment schedule of the term loans so that the final payment is due on September 30, 2009, increases the revolving lines of credit from $113.0 million to $118.5 million, includes an option of increasing the revolving lines of credit by an additional $40.0 million, and expands the criteria for acquisitions which do not require lender consent. The amendment also changes the cash receipts lockbox arrangement to give the Company sole control over the funds in the Company’s lockbox accounts, unless excess availability is less than $10 million or an event of default occurs, in which case the senior secured lenders have the right to take control over such funds and to apply such funds to repayment of the senior debt. Prior to the effectiveness of the amendment, the senior lenders had sole control over the funds in the Company’s lockbox accounts. The new lockbox arrangement has not yet been established. Once the lockbox arrangement is operational, the revolver borrowings will be classified as long-term debt for amounts expected to be outstanding for greater than one year.

Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and are subject to certain operating and financial covenants, which, among other things, restrict the payment of dividends. The senior secured credit facilities have numerous restrictive covenants, including required fixed charge coverage ratios.

Junior Subordinated Notes Payable

The Company had 18% junior subordinated notes payable to certain mezzanine financing providers prior to September 28, 2004, at which time the Company repaid the notes in full in conjunction with the settlement of its IPO. These notes were subordinate to the senior notes payable and borrowings under the revolving lines of credit; however the senior lenders permitted the early repayment of the subordinated debt.

Subordinated Notes Payable to Related Parties

Subordinated notes payable to related parties consisted of 12% subordinated notes payable to stockholders and former owner and 8% subordinated promissory notes payable to former owners. These notes were subordinate to the senior notes payable and revolver borrowings; however the senior lenders permitted the early repayment of these notes upon receipt of the IPO proceeds.

8. Warrant Derivative Liabilities

Prior to redemption on September 28, 2004, the Company had warrants outstanding that included a “put” feature, which allowed the holder to require a fair market value cash settlement at a fixed date. The Company accounted for the warrant derivatives in accordance with EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. The warrant derivatives were included as a liability and valued at fair market value until the warrants were redeemed. We incurred charges of $8.1 and $11.0 million for changes in the value of warrant derivatives in the second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2004, respectively.

9. Foreign Sales

Foreign (Canadian) sales totaled $11.7 and $35.0 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively, and $9.0 and $26.5 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, respectively.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, supersedes APB No. 25 and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values (i.e., pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition). The provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) must be applied at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its financial statements.

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

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “2005” and “YTD 2005” refer to the three months (second quarter) and six months (year-to-date) ended March 31, 2005, respectively, and all references to “2004” and “YTD 2004” refer to the three months (second quarter) and six months (year-to-date) ended March 31, 2004, respectively.

Overview

We are one of the largest distributors of residential and non-residential roofing materials in the United States and Canada. We are also a distributor of other complementary building products, including siding, windows, specialty lumber products and waterproofing systems for residential and non-residential building exteriors. We purchase products from a large number of manufacturers and then distribute these goods to a customer base consisting of contractors and, to a lesser extent, general contractors, retailers and building material suppliers.

We distribute up to 7,500 SKUs through 79 branches in the United States and Canada, including two branches acquired in late April 2005. As of March 31, 2005, we had 1,316 employees, including our sales and marketing team of 362 employees. In fiscal year 2004, approximately 90% of our net sales were in the United States. We stock one of the most extensive assortments of high-quality branded products in the industry, enabling us to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis.

Execution of the operating plan at each of our branches drives our financial results. Revenues are impacted by the relative strength of the residential and non-residential roofing markets we serve. We allow each of our branches to develop its own marketing plan and mix of products based upon its local market. We differentiate ourselves from the competition by providing customer services, including job site delivery, tapered insulation layouts and design and metal fabrication, and by providing credit. We consider customer relations and our employees’ knowledge of roofing and exterior building materials to be very important to our ability to increase customer loyalty and maintain customer satisfaction. We invest significant resources in training our employees in sales techniques, management skills and product knowledge. While we consider these attributes important drivers of our business, we continually pay close attention to controlling operating costs.

Our acquisition strategy is to target market leaders in geographic areas that we presently do not service. Our December 2004 acquisition of JGA Corp. (“JGA”) reflects this approach. JGA is a leading Southeast distributor of roofing and other building materials with eight branches in Georgia and Florida, a growing area targeted by us for expansion.

In managing our business, we consider all growth, including branch expansion, to be internal growth unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to growth in existing markets in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, we include growth from existing and newly-opened branches but exclude growth from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least one full fiscal year. At March 31, 2005, 69 branches were included in our existing market calculations and 8 branches were excluded because they were acquired during the current fiscal year.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $48.0 million, or 38.7%, to $172.1 million in 2005 from $124.1 million in 2004. Existing markets saw internal growth of $21.1 million or 17.0%, while JGA contributed the remaining increase of $26.9 million. We opened two branches in 2005 and one branch during 2004. JGA had product group sales of $15.0, $5.0, $6.9 million in residential roofing products, non-residential roofing products, and complementary building products, respectively, while the product group sales for our existing markets were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,		March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2005		2004			Growth
Residential roofing products	$	56.0	$		52.2	$	3.8		7.3	%

Complementary building products	37.1		34.6			2.5			7.2
	$	145.2	$	124.1		$		21.1	17.0	%

Our existing market growth increased due primarily to the following factors:

•continued strong residential roofing demand , although growth over last year’s historically high levels has slowed,

•continued penetration into complementary building products markets,

•a robust non-residential market, including the impact of large price increases,

•continued home re-modeling demand, and

•overall price increases of approximately 5% to 8%.

11

Existing markets’ gross profit growth of 13.4% contributed $4.4 million to the total gross profit increase while JGA also accounted for $4.4 million of the increase.  Existing markets’ gross margin was 25.4% in 2005 compared to 26.2% in 2004. This decline was due mainly to the large increase in non-residential roofing products as a percentage of our total net sales, which in general have lower gross margins than our other product groups. Due to its product mix, JGA has lower gross margins than our existing markets and this has also  lowered our overall gross margin. We expect our future quarterly gross margins to fluctuate from 24% to 26% depending primarily on our product mix.

Operating Expenses

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,			March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2005			2004			Change
Operating expenses	$	35.9		$	29.3		$	6.6		22.5	%
Operating expenses as a % of sales	20.9		%	23.6		%			-2.7%

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $7.1 million or 24.7% to $35.7 million in 2005 from $28.6 million in 2004. JGA contributed $3.5 million of this increase, while existing markets saw SG&A expenses increase $3.6 million or 12.3%. The existing markets’ SG&A expense increase was due primarily to increased payroll and related costs of $2.4 million or 13.9%. Much of the increase in payroll costs was driven by our increased sales volume. We have also hired additional personnel for public-company reporting and trainee hiring for future expansion. Existing markets’ transportation costs increased $0.2 million or 12.3%, including higher fuel costs that accounted for approximately one-third of the increase while the remaining increase was due to the increased sales volume. We expect high fuel costs to continue for the foreseeable future. This increase may adversely affect our future results of operations, although historically we have passed most of these increases on to our customers. We also experienced an increase of $0.8 million in professional fees as we incurred additional public-company costs and embarked on our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance project. Existing markets’ warehouse expenses, excluding depreciation, increased by $0.6 million or 17.4%, which reflects the opening of three new branches since 2004.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.7% in 2005 from 23.1% in 2004, primarily due to leveraging our fixed costs over our increased net sales and JGA’s lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.  We expect to incur additional administrative costs as a public company over the remainder of 2005, including additional costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We incurred $0.2 million in stock-based compensation in 2005 as compared to $0.6 million in 2004. This compensation relates to the issuance of options and stock to certain employees below fair market value prior to our IPO.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $2.2 million to $1.2 million in 2005 from $3.4 million in 2004. Although we acquired JGA through borrowings under our revolving line of credit and interest rates have increased slightly, our debt level remains substantially lower than in 2004, resulting in a significant reduction in interest expense.

Change in Value of Warrant Derivatives

This prior-year charge of $8.1 million was associated with warrant derivatives that existed prior to their settlement in connection with our IPO and was due to the effect of the increase in the fair market value of our common stock during 2004.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

In March 2004, we refinanced our credit facilities and used a portion of the proceeds to pay off a portion of our junior subordinated notes. In connection with the associated early retirement of debt, we recorded a $3.3 million loss in 2004.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.9 million in 2005 compared to a $1.5 million benefit in 2004. Our 2005 effective income tax rate was 43.6%. Our 2004 effective income tax rate was 43.9% prior to the impact of the non-deductible warrant derivatives charge of $8.1 million.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $78.6 million or 26.9% to $371.3 million in YTD 2005 from $292.7 million in YTD 2004. Existing markets saw internal growth of $47.7 million or 16.3%, while JGA contributed the remaining increase. We opened two new branches in YTD 2005 and YTD 2004. JGA had product group sales of $17.1, $5.9, $7.9 million in residential roofing products, non-residential roofing products, and complementary building products, respectively, while the product group sales for our existing markets were as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended

	$	340.4	$	292.7	$	47.7	16.3	%

Our existing market growth increased due primarily to the following factors:

•continued strong residential roofing demand , although growth over last year’s historically high levels has slowed,

•continued penetration into complementary building products markets,

•a robust non-residential market, including the impact from large price increases,

•continued home re-modeling demand, and

•overall price increases of approximately 4% to 7%.

Existing markets’ gross profit growth of 15.1% contributed $11.3 million to the total gross profit increase while JGA accounted for $5.0 million of the increase. Existing markets’ gross margin was 25.5% in YTD 2005 compared to 25.8% in YTD 2004, due mainly to the large increase in non-residential roofing products, which in general have lower gross margins than our other product groups. Due to its product mix, JGA has lower gross margins than our existing markets and has also lowered our overall gross margin.

Operating Expenses

	For the Six Months Ended
	March 31,			March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2005			2004			Change
Operating expenses	$	68.9		$	57.7		$	11.2		19.4	%
Operating expenses as a % of sales	18.6		%	19.8		%			-1.2 %

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $11.5 million or 20.2% to $68.6 million in YTD 2005 from $57.1 million in YTD 2004. JGA contributed $4.1 million of this increase while existing markets’ SG&A expenses increased $7.4 million or 13.0%. The existing markets’ SG&A expense increase was due primarily to increased payroll and related costs of $5.2 million or 15.1%. Much of the increase in payroll costs was driven by our increased sales volume. We have also hired additional personnel for public-company reporting and trainee hiring for future expansion. Existing markets’ transportation costs increased $0.7 million or 18.1%, including higher fuel costs that account for approximately one-third of the increase while the remaining increase was due to the increased sales volume. We expect high fuel costs to continue for the foreseeable future. This increase may adversely affect our future results of operations, although historically we have passed most of these increases on to our customers. We also experienced an increase of $1.1 million in professional fees in YTD 2005 as we incurred additional public-company costs and embarked on our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance project, and a decrease of $0.5 million in bad debt expense due to better economic conditions. Existing markets’ warehouse expenses, excluding depreciation, increased by $0.9 million or 13.9%, which reflects the addition of JGA’s expenses and the opening of the new branches.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.5% in YTD 2005 from 19.6% in YTD 2004, primarily due to leveraging our fixed costs over our increased net sales and JGA’s lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.  We expect to incur additional administrative costs as a public company over the remainder of 2005, including additional costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We incurred $0.3 million in stock-based compensation in YTD 2005 as compared to $0.6 million in YTD 2004 related to the issuance of options and stock to certain employees below fair market value prior to the IPO.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $4.9 million to $2.1 million in YTD 2005 from $7.0 million in YTD 2004. Although we acquired JGA through borrowings under our line of credit and interest rates have increased slightly, our lower debt level remains substantially below 2004, resulting in a significant reduction in interest expense.

Change in Value of Warrant Derivatives

This prior-year charge of $11.0 million was associated with warrant derivatives that existed prior to their settlement in connection with our IPO and was due to the effect of the increase in the fair market value of our common stock during YTD 2004.

Losses on Early Retirement of Debt

On September 28, 2004, we used a portion of the proceeds from our IPO to pay off the remaining junior subordinated notes. In connection with the associated early retirement of debt, we recorded a $0.9 million loss in the first quarter of 2005.  In March 2004, we refinanced our credit facilities and used a portion of the proceeds to pay off a portion of our junior subordinated notes. In connection with the associated early retirement of that debt, we recorded a $3.3 million loss in the second quarter of 2004.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased to $8.7 million in YTD 2005 from $3.3 million in YTD 2004. Our YTD 2005 effective income tax rate was 43.7%. Our YTD 2004 effective income tax rate was 44.1% prior to the impact of the non-deductible warrant derivatives charge.

Seasonality and quarterly fluctuations

In general, sales and net income are highest during our first, third and fourth fiscal quarters, which represent the peak months of construction, especially in our branches in the northeastern U.S. and in Canada. Our sales are substantially lower during the second quarter, when we usually incur net losses. These quarterly fluctuations have diminished as we have diversified into the southern regions of the United States.

14

We generally experience an increase of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable during the first, third and fourth quarters of the year as a result of the seasonality of our business. Our peak borrowing level generally occurs during the third quarter, primarily because dated accounts payable offered by our suppliers typically are payable in April, May and June, while our peak accounts receivable collections typically occur from June through November.

We generally experience a slowing of collections of our accounts receivable during our second quarter, mainly due to the inability of our customers to conduct their businesses effectively in inclement weather. We continue to attempt to collect those receivables, which require payment under our standard terms. We do not provide any concessions to our customers during this quarter of the year, although we may take advantage of seasonal concessions and incentives from our vendors. Also during the second quarter, we generally experience our lowest availability under our senior secured credit facilities, which are asset-based lending facilities.

Certain quarterly financial data

The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly data for the fiscal years 2005 and 2004 which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of this data. Results of any one or more quarters are not necessarily indicative of results for an entire fiscal year or of continuing trends.

  Liquidity and capital resources

        We had cash of $8.5 million at March 31, 2005, compared to cash of $1.6 million at March 31, 2004 and a cash overdraft of $3.7 million at September 25, 2004. Our working capital was $37.8 million at March 31, 2005 compared to working capital of $10.9 million at March 31, 2004 and a working capital deficit of ($3.7) million at September 25, 2004.

2005 compared to 2004

        Our net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million for YTD 2005 compared to $12.3 million for YTD 2004. Our sales growth drove our income from operations to $22.8 million in YTD 2005 from $17.7 million in YTD 2004. Inventory levels increased by $20.4 million as we anticipated some price increases and temporary shortages by increasing our purchases. This growth in inventory was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable did not decline as much as seasonally normal or as much as in 2004 due to the strong increase in sales.  The increase in inventory is concentrated in rigid insulation used in non-residential roofing, single ply non-residential roofing and residential shingles. These products generally have our highest inventory turns, yet we felt it necessary to maintain higher levels of inventory to meet current demand.  We expect to see a decrease in inventory levels as we enter our busiest period, especially in the Northeast U.S. and Canada.

        Net cash used in investing activities in YTD 2005 was $35.1 million compared to $1.2 million in YTD 2004 due to the acquisition of JGA for a net purchase price of $30.3 million. Net capital expenditures increased to $4.8 million from $1.2 million as we opened additional branches and purchased transportation and warehouse equipment earlier in our fiscal year than in YTD 2004 due to expanding lead times for this equipment.

        Net cash provided by financing activities was $41.9 million in YTD 2005 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $9.6 million in YTD 2004. The net cash provided by financing activities in YTD 2005 reflects borrowings under our revolving lines of credit for the JGA acquisition and the proceeds from our IPO less the associated warrant redemption and debt payments. The net cash used in financing activities in YTD 2004 primarily reflects the refinancing of our credit facilities and the repayments of debt.

Capital Resources

        Our principal source of liquidity at March 31, 2005, was our available borrowings of $50.6 million under revolving lines of credit. Our borrowing base availability is determined primarily by trade accounts receivable and product inventory levels. Borrowings outstanding under the revolving lines of credit at March 31, 2005, have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets in accordance with EITF Issue 95-22, Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit

15

Arrangements that include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement.

        Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the current need for cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating activities, taking into consideration the seasonal nature of our business. Significant factors which could affect liquidity include the following:

•              the adequacy of available bank lines of credit;

•              the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

•              cash flows generated from operating activities;

•              acquisitions; and

•              capital expenditures.

        Our primary capital needs are for working capital obligations and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of working capital are cash from operations supplemented by bank borrowings. In the past, we have financed acquisitions initially through increased bank borrowings, the issuance of common stock and other borrowings, then repaying any such borrowings with cash flows from operations. We have funded our capital expenditures through increased bank borrowings or through capital leases and then have reduced these obligations with cash flows from operations.

        We believe we have adequate availability of capital to fund our present operations, meet our commitments on our existing debt, and fund anticipated growth, including expansion in existing and targeted market areas. We continually seek potential acquisitions and from time to time hold discussions with acquisition candidates. If suitable acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that would require additional financing, we believe that our financial position and earnings history provide a strong base for obtaining additional financing resources at competitive rates and terms. Additionally, we may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock to raise funds.

Indebtedness

        We currently have the following credit facilities:

•              a senior secured credit facility in the U.S.;

•              a Canadian senior secured credit facility; and

•              a capital lease facility.

Senior secured credit facilities

        The credit facilities mature on September 30, 2009 and consist of a $118.5 million United States revolving line of credit including a CDN $15 million Canadian revolving line of credit, commonly referred to as revolvers, and term loans totaling $26.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2005. The facilities include an option of increasing the revolving lines of credit by an additional $40 million. An amendment changed the cash receipts lockbox arrangement to give us sole control over the funds in our lockbox accounts, unless excess availability is less than $10 million or an event of default occurs, in which case the senior secured lenders have the right to take control over such funds and to apply such funds to repayment of the senior debt. Once the lockbox arrangement is operational, the revolver borrowings will be classified as long-term debt for amounts expected to be outstanding for greater than one year.

        As of March 31, 2005, there was $67.9 million outstanding and $50.6 million available for borrowing under the revolvers, subject to changes in our borrowing base availability determined primarily by trade accounts receivable and product inventories levels.

        Interest on borrowings under the U.S. facilities is payable at our election at either of the following rates:

•an index rate (that is the higher of (a) the base rate for corporate loans quoted in The Wall Street Journal or (b) the Federal Reserve overnight rate plus 1/2 of 1%) plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.75%, or

•              the current LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%.

        Interest under the Canadian facility is payable at our election at either of the following rates:

16

•an index rate (that is the higher of (1) the Canadian prime rate as quoted in the Globe and Mail and (2) the 30-day BA Rate plus 1.25%, plus 0.75%, or

•              the BA rate as described in the Canadian facility plus 2.00%.

        Substantially all of our assets, including the capital stock and assets of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, secure our obligations under these senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities have numerous restrictive covenants, including required fixed charge coverage and an indebtedness to EBITDA ratio determined at the end of each quarter. As of March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants and financial ratio requirements.

Capital lease facilities

        Our capital lease facilities allow us to finance a portion of our transportation and warehouse equipment. The facilities provide us with $11 million of availability, of which $1.1 million was outstanding at March 31, 2005, with fixed interest rates averaging 5.7%.
