UNITED INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of United Industrial Corporation (“United Industrial”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. These unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company conducts a significant amount of business with the U.S. Government. No single customer other than the U.S. Government accounted for ten percent or more of consolidated net sales in any year.

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 as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and those differences could be material.

Note B - Segment Information - Continuing Operations

The Company has two reportable segments: Defense and Energy. The operations of the Defense and Energy segments are conducted principally through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, AAI Corporation and its subsidiaries (“AAI”) and Detroit Stoker Company (“Detroit Stoker”), respectively. The Company measures its segment performance based on income (loss) before income taxes. Costs related to the continuing operations that are not identified with the two business segments primarily relate to financing costs and are grouped under the heading Other. The Company has a transportation operation that is accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Note C - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share for all periods presented was computed by dividing net earnings for the respective period by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s par value $1.00 per share common stock (“Common Stock”) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing (i) net earnings during the period, adjusted in 2005 to add back the after-tax interest charges incurred on the Company’s $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2024, by (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to add the weighted-average number of potential dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for Common Stock.

Options to purchase 189,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and options to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was in excess of the average market price of the Common Stock during the period and therefore would be anti-dilutive. The 189,000 options, which were granted during 2005 and expire five years from the grant date, were outstanding at June 30, 2005. The 30,000 options, which were granted during 2004 and expire five years from the grant date, were outstanding at June 30, 2004.

Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts were computed as follows:

Note D - Stock-Based Compensation

For each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and its related implementation guidance, whereby compensation cost for stock options is recognized in earnings based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Had compensation cost been determined consistent with the fair value method set forth under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), for all awards under the plans, income and earnings per share from continuing operations would have decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2005			2004			2005			2004
Income from continuing operations:

Pro forma:
Basic	$	0.67		$	0.79		$	1.68		$	1.14
Diluted	0.58			0.77			1.41			1.11

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which replaced SFAS No. 123 and superseded SFAS No. 148 and APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R requires entities to recognize in their financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Company as of the interim period that begins January 1, 2006. The Company continues to evaluate which transition method it will select.

Note E – Marketable Equity Securities

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis. Marketable equity securities at June 30, 2005, represent common stock of one entity. An unrealized gain of $151,000 was recorded in other comprehensive income at June 30, 2005.

Note G – Secured Borrowing

On December 29, 2004, the Company purchased $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of U.S. treasury bills for $124,619,000, which matured on February 24, 2005. The Company classified this investment as available-for-sale, which required it to be reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in Shareholders’ Equity until realized. Concurrently with the purchase of the U.S. treasury bills on December 29, 2004, the Company entered into a securities lending transaction with its broker-dealer, which matured on February 23, 2005 and was accounted for as a secured borrowing. In exchange for lending the U.S. treasury bills to its broker-dealer, the Company received cash collateral from its broker-dealer in an amount equal to 100% of the fair value of the securities loaned, net of a $25,000,000 refundable deposit that remained at its broker-dealer in a segregated, interest-bearing account. At maturity on February 23, 2005, the Company repaid the cash collateral received, together with approximately $444,000 of related interest charges. Also at maturity, the Company collected its $25,000,000 refundable deposit, together with approximately $86,000 of related interest income earned. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company realized a $7,500 loss on this investment, excluding approximately $373,000 of interest income received.

Note K – Acquisitions

On April 4, 2005, the Company acquired ESL Defence Limited (“ESL”), an electronic warfare systems company based in the
United Kingdom. The purchase price was $10,515,000 in cash. The operating results of ESL have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since April 4, 2005. The purchase price of this business has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess recorded as Goodwill. The estimates related to the acquisition are still preliminary at June 30, 2005. The Company is awaiting the completion of the identification and valuation of intangible assets acquired. On April 4, 2005, the Goodwill and intangible assets were recorded at $5,684,124 and $2,486,370, estimated respectively of the purchase price. The Company expects these analyses to be completed by December 2005.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed at April 4, 2005.

Total assets acquired	12,087

Current liabilities	1,724
Total liabilities assumed	1,724
Net assets acquired	$	10,363

The acquired intangible assets, all of which are being amortized and relate primarily to contract related intangibles have an estimated weighted average useful life of approximately seven years. The goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for U.S. tax purposes. Aggregate amortization expense for amortizing intangible assets was $87,329 at June 30, 2005. Estimated amortization expense for the next five years is $258,691 in 2005, $342,724 in 2006, $342,724 in 2007, $342,724, in 2008, and $342,724 in 2009. This acquisition is not considered to be material, therefore, pro-forma information is not presented.

ASBESTOS

History

United Industrial and Detroit Stoker Company (“Detroit Stoker”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Industrial, have been named as defendants in asbestos-related personal injury litigation. Neither United Industrial nor Detroit Stoker fabricated, milled, mined, manufactured or marketed asbestos, and neither United Industrial nor Detroit Stoker made or sold insulation products or other construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of asbestos-related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Rather, United Industrial and Detroit Stoker made several products, some of the parts and components of which used asbestos-containing material fabricated and provided by third parties. The use of asbestos-containing materials ceased in approximately 1981.

Cases involving United Industrial and Detroit Stoker typically name 80 to 120 defendants, although some cases have as few as 6 and as many as 250 defendants. As of this date, United Industrial and Detroit Stoker have not gone to trial with respect to any asbestos-related personal injury claims, although there is no assurance that trials may not occur in the future. Accordingly, as of this date, neither United Industrial nor Detroit Stoker have been required to pay any punitive damage awards, although there can be no assurance this might not occur in the future. In addition, as of this date, some previously pending claims have been settled or dismissed (with or without prejudice). There is no assurance, however, that dismissals and settlements will occur at the same rate, if at all, or that claims that have been dismissed without prejudice will not be re-filed.

Defenses

Management continues to believe that a majority of the claimants in pending cases will not be able to demonstrate that they have been exposed to United Industrial’s or Detroit Stoker’s asbestos-containing products or suffered any compensable loss as a result of any such exposure. This belief is based in large part on two factors: the limited number of asbestos-containing products and betterments sold by United Industrial and Detroit Stoker and United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s access to sales, service, and other historical business records going back over 100 years, which allow United Industrial and Detroit Stoker to determine to whom products were sold, the date of sale, the installation site and, in some instances, the date products were removed from service. In addition, because of the limited and restricted placement of the asbestos-containing products, even at sites where a claimant can verify his or her presence during the same period those products were installed, liability cannot be presumed because, even if an individual contracted an asbestos-related disease, not everyone who was employed at a site was exposed to United Industrial’s or Detroit Stoker’s asbestos-containing products.

These factors have allowed United Industrial and Detroit Stoker to effectively manage their asbestos-related claims.

Settlements

To date, settlements of claims against United Industrial and/or Detroit Stoker have been made without any admission of liability by United Industrial and/or Detroit Stoker. Settlement amounts may vary depending upon a number of factors, including the jurisdiction where the action was brought, the nature and extent of the disease alleged and the associated medical evidence, the age and occupation of the claimant, the existence or absence of other possible causes of the claimant’s alleged illness, and the availability of legal defenses, as well as whether the action is brought alone or as part of a group of claimants. Before paying any settlement amount, United Industrial and/or Detroit Stoker require proof of exposure to their asbestos-containing products and proof of injury to the plaintiff. In addition, the claimant is required to execute a full and unconditional release of United Industrial, Detroit Stoker and associated parties, from any liability for asbestos-related injuries or claims.

Insurance Coverage

The insurance coverage potentially available to United Industrial and Detroit Stoker is substantial. Following the institution of asbestos litigation, an effort was made to identify all of United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s primary and excess insurance carriers from 1940 through 1990. There were approximately 40 such carriers, all of which were put on notice of the litigation. In November of 1999, a Participation Agreement was entered into among United Industrial, Detroit Stoker and their primary insurance carriers. The Participation Agreement is an advance understanding that supplements all of the contracts of insurance, without altering the coverage of those contracts, that creates an administrative framework within which the insurers and United Industrial and Detroit Stoker can more efficiently and effectively manage the large quantity of on-going litigation.

Any party may terminate the Participation Agreement, without cause, by giving the other parties 60 days prior written notice. Termination of the Participation Agreement does not affect any rights or obligations of the parties that have accrued under the Participation Agreement on or before the effective date of the termination, nor does it affect any rights outside of the Participation Agreement.

Although the carriers can opt out of the Participation Agreement on 60 days notice, management does not believe that this will occur in the immediate or near term. For example, unless a carrier professes to have met the limits of its liability, it would have to consider the potentially greater costs of permitting United Industrial and Detroit Stoker to handle their own cases. Further, opting out of the Participation Agreement does not exculpate liability on the part of the carrier.

United Industrial’s counsel retained a consulting firm with expertise in the field of evaluating insurance coverage and the likelihood of recovery for claims, such as costs incurred in connection with asbestos-related injury claims. In 2002, that firm worked with United Industrial to project the insurance coverage of United Industrial and Detroit Stoker for asbestos-related claims. The insurance consultant’s conclusions were based primarily on a review of United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s coverage history, application of reasonable assumptions on the allocation of coverage consistent with industry standards, an assessment of the creditworthiness of the insurance carriers, and the experience of and a review of the report of the asbestos liability consultant described below. The insurance consultant also considered the Participation Agreement.

Based on the assumptions employed by and the report prepared by the insurance consultant, other variables, and the report prepared by the asbestos liability consultant, which is discussed below, the Company recorded an estimated insurance recovery as of December 31, 2002, of $20,343,000 reflecting the estimate determined to be probable of being available to mitigate United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s potential asbestos liability through 2012. The Company continuously evaluates this insurance receivable and believes it is appropriately valued at June 30, 2005.

Quantitative Claims Information

As of June 30, 2005, United Industrial and/or Detroit Stoker were named in asbestos litigation pending in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and North Dakota. As of June 30, 2005, there were approximately 13,750 pending claims, compared to approximately 21,123 pending claims as of December 31, 2004 and approximately 20,485 pending claims as of June 30, 2004. During 2004, Detroit Stoker was named as a defendant in two cases in Arkansas alleging personal injuries to one and approximately 199 plaintiffs, respectively, as a result of silica and/or refractory ceramic fiber exposure in addition to asbestos exposure. The pleadings in these two cases name approximately 32 and 68 defendants, respectively, and include no allegations specific to Detroit Stoker. Because claims are often filed and disposed of by dismissal or settlement in large numbers, the amount and timing of settlements and the number of open claims during a particular period can fluctuate from period to period. In addition, most of these lawsuits do not include specific dollar claims for damages, and many include a number of plaintiffs and multiple defendants. Therefore, the Company cannot provide any meaningful disclosure about the total amount of the damages sought. In addition, the direct asbestos-related expenses of United Industrial and Detroit Stoker for defense and indemnity for the past five years were not material.

A significant increase in the volume of asbestos-related bodily injury cases arose in Mississippi beginning in 2002 and extended through mid-year 2003. Management believes this peak in the volume of claims in Mississippi was due to the passage of tort reform legislation (applicable to asbestos-related injuries), which became effective at the end of 2002 and which resulted in a large number of claims being filed in Mississippi by plaintiffs seeking to ensure their claims would be governed by the law in effect prior to the passage of tort reform.

In 2002, United Industrial’s counsel engaged a consulting firm with expertise in the field of evaluating asbestos bodily-injury claims to assist United Industrial in projecting the future asbestos-related liabilities and defense costs of United Industrial and Detroit Stoker. The methodology used by this asbestos liability consultant to project future asbestos-related costs is based primarily on estimates of the labor force exposed to asbestos in United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s products, epidemiological modeling of asbestos-related disease manifestation, and estimates of claim filings and settlement and defense costs that may occur in the future. Using this information, the asbestos liability consultant estimated the number of future claims that would be filed, as well as the related costs that would be incurred in resolving those claims. United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s claims history prior to 2002 was not a significant variable in developing the estimates because such history was not significant as compared to the number of claims filed in 2002.

Projecting future asbestos costs is subject to numerous variables that are extremely difficult to predict. In addition to the significant uncertainties surrounding the number of claims that might be received, other variables include the type and severity of the disease alleged by each claimant, the long latency period associated with asbestos exposure, dismissal rates, costs of medical treatment, the impact of bankruptcies of other companies that are co-defendants in claims, uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, and the impact of potential changes in legislative or judicial standards. Furthermore, any predictions with respect to these variables are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. In light of these inherent uncertainties, United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s limited claims history prior to 2002 and consultation with the asbestos and insurance consultants, the Company believes that ten years is the most reasonable period for recognizing a reserve for future costs, and that costs that might be incurred after that period were not reasonably estimable. As a result, the Company also believes that its ultimate net asbestos-related contingent liability (i.e. its indemnity or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees less insurance recoveries) cannot be estimated with certainty.

Based on the assumptions employed by and the report prepared by the asbestos liability consultant and other variables, the Company recorded an undiscounted liability for its best estimate of bodily injury liabilities for asbestos-related matters in the amount of $31,852,000 as of December 31, 2002, including damages and defense costs.

Given the inherent uncertainty in making future projections and that United Industrial and Detroit Stoker periodically receive potentially material new information from claimants and their counsel that relates to the factual basis of their asserted and unasserted claims, United Industrial and Detroit Stoker plans on a periodic basis, to have either (1) the key assumptions used in projecting the future asbestos-related liabilities and defense costs of United Industrial and Detroit Stoker validated or (2) the projections of current and future asbestos claims re-examined, and United Industrial and Detroit Stoker will update them if needed based on the experience of United Industrial and Detroit Stoker and other relevant factors, such as changes in the tort system and the resolution of bankruptcies of various asbestos defendants.

In connection with the preparation of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, United Industrial provided the asbestos consulting firm with updated information regarding asbestos cases filed against United Industrial and/or Detroit Stoker, and asked the consulting firm to perform a validation of its 2002 report. In particular, the consulting firm was asked if it would use the same methodology to calculate future asbestos liability and if the assumptions used in 2002 are still valid. The consulting firm reported that nothing had come to their attention in the intervening period that would call into question the central assumptions underlying the report, or the report’s ten-year estimate of United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s future potential liability.

The Company’s asbestos liability was $31,852,000 and $31,437,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and its insurance receivables for asbestos-related liabilities were $20,343,000 and $20,256,000 at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These figures reflect the Company’s policy to maintain a ten-year estimate of future liability, the period in which such costs are deemed to be reasonably estimable.

In light of the asbestos liability consultant’s reports and based upon the facts as now known, including the reasonable possibility that claims will be received and paid over the next 50 year period, the Company believes that although asbestos claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular reporting period, asbestos claims should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s long term financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. No assurances can be given, however, as to the actual amount of United Industrial’s and Detroit Stoker’s liability for such present and future claims or the amount of insurance recoveries (including any recoveries from liquidating excess insurance carriers), and the differences from estimated amounts could be material.

Reform Legislation

The outlook for federal legislation to provide national asbestos litigation reform continues to be uncertain. Also uncertain is whether, and to what extent, United Industrial and Detroit Stoker would be required to make contributions to a prospective national asbestos trust pursuant to such legislation. No assurances can be given that a proposed trust or any other asbestos legislation will ultimately become law, or when such action might occur.

STATE OF ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY V. UIC, ET AL.

On May 19, 1993, United Industrial was named as one of three defendants in a civil action brought pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. ADEQ sought remediation of a manufacturing site in the State of Arizona operated by U.S. Semiconductor Products, Inc. (“U.S. Semiconductor”), a manufacturer of semiconductors formerly owned by United Industrial. ADEQ alleged that from 1959 until United Industrial sold U.S. Semiconductor in 1961, U.S. Semiconductor disposed of tricholoroethylene, a “hazardous substance,” and other hazardous substances under CERCLA, onto the ground and into various pits and drains located on the site.

In 1996, United Industrial entered into a consent decree with ADEQ. Pursuant to the consent decree, United Industrial is required to complete a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”), pay $125,000 for past response costs, pay quarterly Arizona oversight costs (averaging less than $10,000 annually) and pay $125,000 for future response costs plus a graduated percentage of the cleanup costs for the site if those costs are in excess of $10,000,000 but less than $40,000,000. United Industrial’s liability for future response costs under the consent decree is capped at $1,780,000 in addition to the $125,000 that United Industrial has already paid. In connection with the RI/FS, United Industrial has retained a consultant at an average annual cost of approximately $200,000. The Remedial Investigation was submitted to ADEQ for approval on March 31, 2004 and was approved by ADEQ on August 9, 2004. In March 2005, ADEQ issued its Proposed Remedial Objectives Report for public comment. ADEQ received no substantive comments regarding the report, and in May 2005,

ADEQ issued is final Remedial Objectives Report. United Industrial is required to submit to ADEQ a Feasibility Study and Proposed Remedies to meet ADEQ’s May 2005 Remedial Objectives. United Industrial expects to submit the Feasibility Study sometime in September of 2005. Management believes that it will reach closure with ADEQ on all RI/FS issues on an acceptable basis to United Industrial following approval of the Feasibility Study. No assurances can be given, however, as to the actual extent to which United Industrial may be determined to have further liability, if at all.

MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Detroit Stoker was notified in March 1992 by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (“MDNR”) that it is a potentially responsible party in connection with the cleanup of a former industrial landfill located in Port of Monroe, Michigan. MDNR is treating the Port of Monroe landfill site as a contaminated facility within the meaning of the Michigan Environmental Response Act (“MERA”). Under MERA, if a release or potential release of a discarded hazardous substance is or may be injurious to the environment or to the public health, safety or welfare, MDNR is empowered to undertake or compel investigation and response activities in order to alleviate any contamination threat. Management believes Detroit Stoker would be considered a de minimis potentially responsible party and does not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a materially adverse effect on United Industrial’s or Detroit Stoker’s financial condition or results of operations. Detroit Stoker intends to aggressively defend these claims. No assurances can be given, however, as to the actual extent to which Detroit Stoker may be determined to be liable, if at all.

OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government have the authority at many levels to investigate transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory or treble damages. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the General Accounting Office, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, and Congressional Committees. U.S. Government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts or the loss of export privileges for a company or an operating division or subdivision.

The Company has in place international and domestic compliance policies and procedures, including training of employees. From time to time, the Company receives allegations of improper conduct relating to its operations, including operations subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other U.S. domestic and international laws. When the Company receives any such allegations, it conducts internal (and if necessary, external) investigations to determine whether there is support for any such allegations. An investigation is ongoing in response to allegations provided to Company management of improper payments to foreign government officials and improper invoicing. External counsel has been retained by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to determine if there is support for any such allegations, and to review the Company’s compliance policies and procedures, and the Company is cooperating fully with counsel. In addition, appropriate government agencies have been advised of this investigation. The Company is cooperating with their requests for information. The investigation by external counsel, which is continuing, has thus far not revealed any prior involvement or knowledge regarding the allegations by any officer or director of United Industrial. At the current stage of this investigation, any ultimate liability is not presently determinable.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

In connection with certain contracts, United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries have committed to certain performance guarantees existing at June 30, 2005. The ability to perform under these guarantees may, in part, be dependent on the performance of other parties, including partners and subcontractors. If United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries are unable to meet these performance obligations, the performance guarantees could have a material adverse effect on profit margins and the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position. United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries monitor the progress of their partners and subcontractors, and United Industrial and its operating subsidiaries do not believe that the performance of these partners and subcontractors will adversely affect these contracts. No assurances can be given, however, as to the liability of United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries if partners or subcontractors are unable to perform their obligations.

DISCONTINUED TRANSPORTATION OPERATION

MUNI Contract

In connection with the discontinued Transportation operations, AAI owns 35% of Electric Transit, Inc. (“ETI”). Skoda a.s. (“Skoda”), a Czech company, owns the remaining 65% of ETI. ETI’s one remaining production contract with the San Francisco Municipal Railway (“MUNI”) involves the design and manufacture of 273 electric trolley buses (“ETBs”). In executing its contract with MUNI, ETI entered into subcontracts with AAI, certain Skoda operating affiliates and others. Both AAI and the Skoda operating affiliates have completed delivery of the ETB’s and the Skoda operating affiliates are now subject to warranty requirements. Skoda’s operating affiliates have continued to deliver products and services under their subcontracts with ETI through June 2005.

Following Skoda’s bankruptcy declaration in 2001 in the Czech Republic, effective as of 2002, AAI began recording 100%, instead of 35%, of ETI’s losses and income in accordance with the equity method accounting applicable to minority shareholders. Although AAI has completed performance on its subcontract with ETI on the MUNI contract, AAI has continued to provide ETI with personnel and other financial support in order to enable ETI to satisfy certain of its remaining commitments to MUNI.

As of April 22, 2004, ETI and MUNI finalized an agreement to modify the original MUNI contract (“Modification No. 6”) under which ETI assigned its remaining subcontractor obligations and MUNI relieved ETI of its warranty, performance and certain related bonding obligations, as well as other obligations under its ETB contract with MUNI, except for the performance of a defined scope of work related to modifications of ETB hardware.

In conjunction with Modification No. 6, AAI executed a guaranty agreement with MUNI as of April 22, 2004 (the “Guaranty Agreement”) that assures performance of certain of ETI’s obligations under Modification No. 6. In conjunction with the Guaranty Agreement, AAI assigned its remaining subcontractor obligations to MUNI and obtained a release from its subcontractor warranty and all further obligations under its subcontract with ETI in exchange for a cash payment to MUNI of $500,000 and other consideration. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement in its existing loss reserves. No assurances can be given, however, as to the actual amount of AAI’s liability to exit the discontinued Transportation operations.

As required by MUNI, ETI obtained a surety bond to guarantee payment to all those providing labor, materials, provisions or other supplies to ETI in furtherance of its performance under the MUNI contract. AAI agreed to indemnify the surety, if necessary, for up to $14,800,000, representing 35% of the original face value of the labor and materials bond (in proportion to AAI’s equity interest in ETI). On November 18, 2003, AAI provided the surety with notice of its claim on the labor and materials bond for unpaid receivables in connection with AAI’s MUNI subcontract from ETI, totaling in excess of $47,000,000, the maximum penal sum of the labor and materials bond. AAI’s payment rights under the labor and materials bond (among other claims) are currently at issue in a case before the Federal court in the Northern District of California. Prior to final adjudication of this case, there can be no assurances as to the amount or timing of a recovery by AAI, if any, on its claim on the labor and materials bond. To date no amount of recovery has been recorded by AAI.

Note N - Dividends

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share on its common stock on March 10, 2005 and again on May 6, 2005. Dividends of $1,234,479 and $1,230,089 were paid on March 31, 2005 and May 30, 2005, respectively. Dividends of $1,313,236 and $1,292,646 were paid on March 31, 2004 and May 28, 2004, respectively.

Note O – Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In November 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the purchase of up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s Common Stock. On March 10, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the plan for one additional year through March 15, 2005, and authorized the purchase of up to an additional $10,000,000 of Common Stock. From inception of this plan in November 2003 to its expiration on March 15, 2005, the Company had purchased a total of 917,700 shares for $16,522,000, or an average of $18.00 per share. The remaining $3,478,000 was not used and expired on March 15, 2005.

On March 10, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock purchase plan for up to $25,000,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, a total of 735,345 shares have been repurchased under the plan for an aggregate amount of $25,000,000, or an average price of $33.97 per share, utilizing all funds available under the March 10, 2005 stock purchase plan.

Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements which include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, earnings, segment performance, cash flows and contract awards. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results or performance of United Industrial Corporation (“United Industrial”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the Company’s successful execution of internal performance plans;

• performance issues with key suppliers, subcontractors and business partners;

• the ability to negotiate financing arrangements with lenders;

• the outcome of current and future litigation, proceedings and investigations;

• the accuracy of the Company’s analysis of its potential asbestos-related exposure and insurance coverage;

• product demand and market acceptance risks;

• the effect of economic conditions;

• the impact of competitive products and pricing;

• product development, commercialization and technological difficulties;

• capacity and supply constraints or difficulties;

• legislative or regulatory actions impacting the Company’s Defense segment, Energy segment and discontinued transportation operation;

• changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. Government’s defense budget;

The Company’s net sales increased 9.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004, including $10,053,000 and $315,000 higher net sales for the Defense and Energy segments, respectively. Net sales for the Defense segment in the second quarter of 2005 increased 9.9% to $111,614,000 from $101,561,000 for the second quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily due to greater logistical support related to an increasing number of fielded Shadow 200 TUAV Systems in 2005, growth in the volume of ABE Systems, the addition of the Biological Detection Systems program awarded in the third quarter of 2004 and the acquisition of ESL in the second quarter of 2005.

The gross margin percentage for continuing operations decreased to 25.3% in the second quarter of 2005 from 25.6% during the second quarter of 2004. The Defense segment’s gross margin percentage was 24.3% in the second quarter 2005 compared to 24.6% in the second quarter of 2004. This decrease is mainly due to a product mix that included a higher volume of support/services type contracts in the 2005 second quarter, which generally contribute a lower gross margin than production type contracts.

Selling and administrative expense increased to $17,315,000, or 14.4 % of sales, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $11,970,000, or 10.9% of sales, in the second quarter of 2004. Selling and administrative expense in the Defense segment increased to $15,215,000, or 13.6 % of sales, in the second quarter of 2005 from $9,846,000, or 9.7% of sales, in the second quarter of 2004. The $5,369,000 increase was primarily due to $1,570,000 higher research and development expense and bid and proposal costs, $1,559,000 for restructuring charges for facility closure costs and severance related to the reorganization of the Defense segment’s fluid test systems product area, $900,000 of increased legal expenses, $696,000 of general and administrative fees incurred by the recently acquired ESL, and other net expenses of $600,000 associated with the general volume increase in the Defense segment’s business.

Operating income decreased to $12,616,000 or 10.5% of sales in the second quarter of 2005 from $15,990,000, or 14.6% of sales, in second quarter of 2004. During the second quarter 2004, the Company’s UAV Systems realized the favorable resolution of technical risks and production efficiencies, which positively impacted 2004 operating income by approximately $4,400,000. Excluding this favorable impact, operating income in the second quarter 2004 would have been $11,590,000, or 10.6% of sales. Pursuant to U.S. Government procurement standards, costs accumulated under long-term development and production contracts include costs of product and service revenue, and general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, the Company believes operating income provides a meaningful measure of performance.

Net interest expense increased $745,000 to $692,000 during the second quarter of 2005 from net interest income of $53,000 in the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of the Company’s issuance of $120,000,000 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes in September 2004.

Income from continuing operations net of income taxes, in the second quarter of 2005 decreased to $8,301,000, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $10,323,000, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2004.

Net income in the second quarter of 2005 decreased to $8,446,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $10,133,000, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2004.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Net sales from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 19.0% to $227,476,000 compared to $191,208,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net sales for the Defense segment for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 20.1% to $211,771,000 from $176,367,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher production and logistics support in UAV Systems, increased demand for ABE System, and the Biological Detection System Program that was awarded in the third quarter to 2004.

The gross margin percentage for continuing operations increased to 24.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 23.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The gross margin percentage for the Defense segment increased to 24.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 22.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to increased efficiencies from the UAV, and Test and Training Systems product lines as well as the ESL acquisition during the first half of 2005.

Selling and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $30,950,000, or 13.6% of sales from $22,198,000, or 11.6 % of sales when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Selling and administrative expenses in the Defense segment in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $26,561,000, or 12.5% of sales, from $17,834,000, or 10.1% of sales when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $8,727,000 increase was primarily due to $3,197,000 for higher research and development expenses and bid and proposal costs to support the Defense segment’s growth, $1,889,000 of restructuring charges to reorganize the Defense segment’s fluid test systems product area, $900,000 of increased legal expenses, $696,000 of general and administrative expenses incurred by the recently acquired ESL, and other expenses associated with the general volume increase in the Defense segment’s business.

Operating income increased to $24,854,000, or 10.9% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $23,153,000, or 12.1% of sales, for the first six months of 2004. During the second quarter 2004, the Company’s UAV Systems realized the favorable resolution of technical risks and production efficiencies which positively impacted 2004 operating profit by approximately $4,400,000. Excluding this favorable impact, operating income in the first six months in 2004 would have been $18,753,000, or 9.8% of sales.

Net interest expense increased $1,599,000 to $1,469,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $130,000 net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the Company’s issuance of $120,000,000 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes in September 2004. Included in the interest expense is approximately $2,743,000 related to the $120,000,000 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes issued in September 2004.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 34.3% to $31,426,000 from $23,405,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase included a $7,152,000 gain from the sale of undeveloped property recorded during the first quarter of 2005.

Income from continuing operations, net of taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $5,880,000 to $20,925,000, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to $15,045,000, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Net income in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $21,118,000, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $14,380,000, or $1.08 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Discontinued Transportation Operations

Income from the Company’s discontinued transportation operations for the second quarter of 2005 was $145,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a loss of ($190,000), or ($0.01) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004. Income from the Company’s discontinued transportation operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $193,000, or $0.01 per diluted share as compared to a loss of ($665,000) or ($0.05) per diluted share for the same period in the prior year.

Electric Transit, Inc. (“ETI”), an entity owned 35% by AAI and 65% by Skoda a.s. (“Skoda”), a Czech company, sold its remaining inventory of spare parts and continued to favorably resolve certain operational challenges associated with its last remaining program during the six months ended June 30, 2005, which accounts for the favorable results from the discontinued transportation operations in 2005.

For additional information regarding the discontinued transportation operations, see Note L to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Further, we received additional funding for the Biological Detection Systems program.

The increase in the Energy segment’s funded backlog was primarily due to an increase in orders received during the second quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company’s principal source of liquidity is cash on hand and cash generated from operations. On June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $73,912,000. Effective December 23, 2004, the Company terminated its Loan and Security Agreement dated June 28, 2001, as amended, with Bank of America Business Capital (formerly Fleet Capital Corporation). On July 18, 2005, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AAI, entered into a $100,000,000 four-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of six banks, consisting of SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent and issuing bank, Citibank, F.S.B., Key Bank, PNC Bank, Commerce Bank and Provident Bank, (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a $100,000,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility with a $100,000,000 Letter of Credit sub-facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has guaranteed AAI’s obligations. The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be used to fund future acquisitions, finance capital expenditures, provide working capital, fund letters of credit, and for other general corporate purposes. Based on cash on hand, future cash expected to be generated from operations, and the new Credit Facility, the Company expects to have sufficient cash to meet its requirements during the next twelve months.

On December 29, 2004, the Company invested $124,619,000 in U.S. treasury bills maturing on February 24, 2005. The U.S. treasury bills were concurrently loaned to the Company’s broker-dealer in a securities lending transaction in exchange for cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the fair value of the securities lent. The securities lending transaction terminated on February 23, 2005, at which time the Company redeemed the U.S. treasury bills and received approximately $373,000 of interest thereon, repaid the cash collateral to its broker-dealer together with $444,000 of related interest charges, and collected the $25,000,000 deposit plus $86,000 of accrued interest thereon.

As discussed under the subheading “Gain on Sale of Property” in the “Management Overview” section above, in January 2005, the Company sold approximately 26 acres of undeveloped property adjacent to its Hunt Valley, Maryland facility for $8,105,000, which yielded proceeds of $7,555,000, net of selling expenses and closing costs. The Company reinvested approximately $5,085,000 of the net proceeds from this sale in a new facility in South Carolina for AAI Services to support the growth in their operations. The remaining net proceeds were disbursed from an account through July 11, 2005, owned by a qualified intermediary and were used primarily for improvements to the facility. As a result, the Company expects that it will be able to defer paying substantially all of the income tax obligation incurred in connection with the gain on the sale of the property in Hunt Valley, in accordance with Section 1031 (b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

In accordance with its strategic initiatives to enhance shareholder value, the Company is continuing to focus its efforts on the profitability and growth of its core Defense product areas, seeking to maximize operating efficiencies, and exploring the sale of non-core assets.

The Company intends to complement its growth strategy for its Defense segment through select acquisitions that broaden its product and service offerings, deepen its capabilities, and allow entry into new markets. Acquisition candidates may include public and private companies and divisions, subsidiaries and product lines of such companies. On April 4, 2005, the Company acquired ESL Defence Limited, an Electronic Warfare systems company based in the United Kingdom, as more fully discussed in the “Management Overview” section above.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, as part of the Company’s strategy to explore the sale of non-core assets, the Company engaged Imperial Capital, LLC, an investment-banking firm, to act as exclusive financial advisor to assist in exploring strategic alternatives for Detroit Stoker, including a possible sale (the “Transaction”). The Company and Imperial Capital are continuing to explore potential Transactions involving Detroit Stoker. From time to time, the Company and potential buyers may (i) have discussions regarding a potential Transaction, (ii) negotiate the preliminary terms of a potential Transaction, and (iii) enter into customary non-binding agreements in order to facilitate any such discussions and negotiations. No assurances can be given regarding whether a Transaction involving Detroit Stoker will occur or the timing or proceeds from any such Transaction.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following is a discussion of the Company’s major operating, investing, and financing activities for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The financial information presented in the table below is summarized from the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004
Operating activities:
Net cash provided by continuing operations	$	21,252		$	15,608

Net cash used in financing activities	(122,446		)	(10,233		)
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6,767	)	$	674

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $5,644,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to higher income from continuing operations before non-cash depreciation and other charges. Favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities in the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $1,810,000 included a decrease in inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $12,362,000 and $2,846,000 respectively, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $12,670,000, due to the timing of milestone invoicing and payments, and other net unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4,348,000. Inventory was lower and accounts receivable higher at June 30, 2005 than at June 30, 2004 primarily due to the achievement of certain billing milestones that had been delayed in the Defense segment.

Net cash used by the discontinued transportation operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily related to unreimbursed services rendered to, and other financial support to ETI in connection with the MUNI contract guaranty agreement as discussed in Note M.

In connection with this securities lending transaction, which is discussed more fully in the “Liquidity Overview” section above, the Company also received the $25,000,000 refundable deposit from its broker-dealer. This deposit, together with a decrease of $4,046,000 in collateral the Company was required to post in connection with outstanding letters of credit and a cash management security arrangement with Bank of America Business Capital, is presented as a $29,046,000 decrease in restricted cash in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period ending June 30, 2005. Financing activities in 2005 also included $24,978,000 for the purchase of the Company’s common stock, $2,465,000 of cash used for the payment of dividends, $1,208,000 of cash receipts from the exercise of stock options, and $638,000 used for the repayment of long-term debt, primarily related to the financing of the ERP System.

Debt and Related Covenants

The Credit Facility entered into on July 18, 2005 by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary AAI, contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for facilities of this type, including, among other things, maintenance of certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as minimum consolidated tangible net worth ratios, limits on the incurrence of debt and preferred equity, limits on the incurrence of liens, a limit on the making of dividends or distributions, limits on sales of assets and a limit on capital expenditures.

There are no covenant violations as of June 30, 2005.

Cash Requirements

Capital Expenditures

The Company expects that capital expenditures in 2005 will be significantly higher than in 2004 primarily due to (i) the purchase of the $5,085,000 new facility in South Carolina, and approximately $3,500,000 of improvements to be made to that facility, (ii) approximately $3,200,000 of enhancements to the Company’s UAV production facilities, including the purchase of new manufacturing equipment to increase production output and efficiency and, (iii) $4,800,000 related to the continuing implementation of the Company’s ERP System.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no significant commitments for capital expenditures except for the continuing implementation of its new ERP System and improvements to be made to the recently acquired facility in South Carolina. In addition to the capital assets to be acquired, the Company expects to incur approximately $2,000,000 related to the implementation of its ERP System, which exclude ongoing annual maintenance fees of approximately $400,000 per year. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had capitalized a total of approximately $5,401,000 related to the implementation of the ERP System, $1,600,000 for improvements to the new facility in South Carolina and $1,300,000 for enhancements to the Company’s UAV production facilities.

Other Cash Requirements

On March 10, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock purchase plan for up to $25,000,000. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had purchased a total of 735,345 shares for an aggregate amount of $25,000,000, or an average price of $33.97 per share, utilizing all funds available under the March 10, 2005 stock purchase plan.

On April 4, 2005, the Company purchased ESL Defence Limited, an electronic warfare systems company, for $10,515,000 in cash.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.10 per share on March 31, 2005 and on May 30, 2005, for an aggregate amount of $2,465,000. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s corporate strategy, future earnings, operations, capital requirements, and the Company’s financial condition and general business conditions. Should the Company distribute a cash dividend in any quarterly period in excess of $0.10 per share, the conversion rate provided for in the Indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes would be adjusted. In addition, the Company’s lenders may impose restrictions on the payment of dividends.

As discussed more fully under “Management Overview” above, during the remainder of 2005 the Company’s management will continue to implement its restructuring plans to reduce costs and streamline operations in the Defense segment’s fluid test systems product area and at Detroit Stoker. The Company expects that it will continue to incur and pay costs during the remainder of 2005 as these plans are fully implemented, which will primarily be charged to earnings as the related obligations are incurred. For the reorganization activities in the Defense segment’s fluid test systems product line, the Company estimates that it will incur total cash charges of approximately $2,700,000, of which approximately $600,000 was expensed and $200,000 was paid in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, an additional $1,889,000 was expensed and $2,043,000 was paid or otherwise settled. The remaining expenses of approximately $200,000 are expected to be charged to the Defense segment’s operations, and paid during the remainder of 2005 as the obligations are incurred. The Energy segment recognized expense of $168,000 for restructuring activities during 2005. The Company estimates Detroit Stoker will recognize additional expense of approximately $123,000 for the restructuring activities for the remainder of 2005.

The cash required to completely exit the discontinued transportation operation subsequent to June 30, 2005, is expected to be approximately $3,400,000 through 2006, of which $2,500,000 is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2005. These amounts exclude legal fees expected to be incurred related to claims made by AAI in pursuit of payment under a

surety bond (see Note M to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of AAI’s claims).

For additional information regarding the Company’s contingencies, please see the discussion under the heading “Contingent Matters” below.

The Company does not anticipate having to contribute cash to the UIC Retirement Pension Plan, but does expect to contribute $244,000 to the union pension plan in the Energy segment during 2005 of which $88,000 was funded in the second quarter of 2005. Further, the Company expects to pay other postretirement benefits of approximately $3,348,000 in 2005 of which $1,844,000 was funded during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Contingent Matters

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In connection with certain contracts, United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries have committed to certain performance guarantees. The ability to perform under these guarantees may, in part, be dependent on the performance of other parties, including partners and subcontractors. If United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries are unable to meet these performance obligations, the performance guarantees could have a material adverse effect on product margins and the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position. United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries monitor the progress of their partners and subcontractors, and United Industrial does not believe that the performance of these partners and subcontractors will adversely affect these contracts as of June 30, 2005. No assurances can be given, however, as to the liability of United Industrial’s operating subsidiaries if partners or subcontractors are unable to perform their obligations.

Other Contingent Matters

The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims, including asbestos-related litigation and environmental matters. Except as set forth in Note M to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes in any legal proceedings since the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and to Note M to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no revisions to the Critical Accounting Policies as filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle and is effective in the first quarter of 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows.

For further information, refer to the New Accounting Pronouncements as filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
