ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
As previously disclosed, on September 29, 2004, INTERMET Corporation and 17 of
its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "debtors") filed voluntary
petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the
"Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. On October 20, 2005 the debtors filed their monthly operating
reports for the period September 1 through September 30, 2005 with the
Bankruptcy Court. The September monthly operating reports are collectively
furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. Copies of each
debtor's bank statements have been omitted from Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report due to the volume of the statements. Copies of these statements can be
obtained from the debtors' monthly operating reports filed with the Bankruptcy
Court, case number 04-67597.
The monthly operating reports contain unaudited financial information which has
not been reviewed by independent accountants, is limited to the debtors and is
in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws. The financial information
related to the debtors included in the monthly operating reports has been
prepared to conform with specific instructions from the U.S. Trustee and is not
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
or SEC regulations applicable to financial statements contained in periodic
reports filed with the SEC. Preparation of the debtors' financial statements in
accordance with GAAP could result in material reconciliations and adjustments to
certain financial information presented in the monthly operating reports.
The monthly operating reports also contain information for periods that are
different from those contained in the reports INTERMET Corporation files
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Such information also may not be indicative of the financial condition or
operating results of INTERMET and its subsidiaries for the periods reflected in
INTERMET's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act,
or of future results. As a result, the financial information in the monthly
operating reports is not presented on a consolidated basis and does not present
the consolidated results of INTERMET, except with respect to total shareholders'
equity, as described below. Accordingly, the financial statements in the monthly
operating reports cannot be compared with the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations that INTERMET reports in its Exchange Act filings.
The financial information contained in the operating statement and balance sheet
in the monthly operating statement for INTERMET Corporation represents the
consolidation of all of its domestic subsidiaries that are debtors, other than
Intermet Holding Company. Intermet Holding Company is a holding company of
certain foreign subsidiaries and does not itself have any domestic operations.
As a result, Intermet Holding Company's results are incorporated in the results
of INTERMET Corporation's foreign subsidiaries. The financial information for
INTERMET Corporation includes the net results of its foreign subsidiaries as if
they were accounted for on an equity accounting basis. Accordingly, the
individual line items in the operating statement and balance sheet are not fully
consolidated. Shareholders' equity, however, is equal to the amount that would
be reflected in fully consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
While every effort has been made to assure the accuracy and completeness of the
monthly operating reports, errors or omissions may have inadvertently occurred
and INTERMET reserves the right to amend the monthly operating reports as
necessary.
