ACCELLENT CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2005

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Accellent Corp. (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-118675) for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Company changed its name from Medical Device Manufacturing, Inc. to Accellent Corp. on May 4, 2005.  The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Accellent Inc. (“Parent”).  Parent is a holding company with no operations and whose only asset is the stock of the Company.  Proceeds from the issuance of debt and sale of stock of Parent are used by the Company for its acquisitions of its subsidiaries. Additionally, the proceeds of the Company’s issuance of $175.0 million of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 15, 2012 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) were used to retire all of the senior notes of Parent. Accordingly, in compliance with provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin 54 (Topic 5-J, Question 3), the accompanying financial statements reflect the push down of Parent’s debt, related interest expense, debt issuance costs, the Class B-1 and B-2 Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Class C 8% Redeemable Preferred Stock and related dividends. The Parent debt pushed down to the Company is included in its consolidated balance sheets as long-term debt. The Parent Class B-1 and B-2 Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Class C 8% Redeemable Preferred Stock pushed down to the Company is included in its consolidated balance sheets as redeemable and convertible preferred stock of parent company.   The Class B-1 Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed in September 2004.  The Class B-2 Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed in June 2005.  Parent has also raised capital from the sale of common stock, Class A-1 through A-8 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, Class AA Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable for Class AB Convertible Preferred Stock. The proceeds from the common stock, Class A-1 through A-8 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, Class AA Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable for Class AB Convertible Preferred Stock have been advanced to the Company and reflected in its consolidated balance sheets as additional paid-in capital since the Company is under no obligation to repay these amounts. Any costs incurred by Parent for the benefit of the Company have been fully allocated to the Company.   Parent does not incur any common expenses for the benefit of both Parent and the Company, therefore, no common expenses are allocated from Parent to the Company.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, Parent pushed down to the Company interest expense, including debt issuance costs, and debt prepayment penalties of $6.7 million.  Parent did not incur any interest expense or debt prepayment penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

The Company’s operating results have been included in Parent’s consolidated United States and state income tax returns and in tax returns of certain foreign subsidiaries.  The provision for income taxes in the Company’s financial statements has been determined on a separate return basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.  No formal tax sharing agreement exists between the Company and Parent.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock options issued by Parent to employees of the Company using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense for the granting of Parent options under Parent stock option plans based on the fair values at the grant dates consistent with the methodology prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” pro forma net income (loss) would have been reported as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Net income (loss):
As reported	$	2,869		$	(4,391	)	$	11,933		$	(6,440	)

Pro forma net income (loss)	$	2,405		$	(4,774	)	$	10,712		$	(7,440	)

Stock compensation expense, net of tax, included in net income as reported for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 includes a charge of $2,001,000 and $2,747,000, respectively, to increase the Company’s liability for phantom stock plans due to the increase in value of Parent’s common stock.

2.  Acquisitions:

On June 30, 2004, the Company acquired MedSource Technologies, Inc. (“MedSource”).  The MedSource acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly the results of operations include MedSource’s results beginning June 30, 2004. MedSource is an engineering and manufacturing services provider to the medical device industry. The purchase price was $219.7 million, consisting of $208.8 million in cash for the purchase of common stock and the cash out of options and warrants, and $10.9 million of transaction fees. The purchase was financed by a combination of new debt and equity as discussed in notes 6 and 8. In addition, the then existing indebtedness of MedSource equal to $36.1 million plus related accrued interest was repaid in conjunction with the acquisition. The Company estimates that it will incur $17.4 million for integration and other liabilities.

The purchase price for the MedSource acquisition was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Inventories	$	27,707
Accounts receivable	24,782
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	702
Property and equipment	44,144
Goodwill	160,297
Intangible and other assets	19,938
Current liabilities	(30,304		)
Debt assumed	(36,131		)
Other long-term liabilities	(5,736		)
Cash paid, net of cash acquired of $14,304	$	205,399

The decrease in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily related to the reduction in accrued integration and restructuring costs for MedSource as discussed in Note 3, and the expected utilization of tax benefits acquired from MedSource as discussed in Note 7.

On September 12, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Campbell Engineering, Inc. (“Campbell”) and certain real property owned by the shareholders of Campbell and used by Campbell in the conduct of its business.   The Campbell acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly the results of operations include Campbell’s results beginning September 12, 2005.   Campbell is an engineering and manufacturing firm providing design, analysis, precision fabrication, assembly and testing of primarily orthopaedic implants and instruments.  The purchase price at closing was $18.2 million, all of which was paid in cash.    An additional $12.0 million of consideration will be paid, if at all, pursuant to an earn out arrangement contingent upon the 2005 and 2006 full year financial performance of the acquired business.    Any additional amounts paid under earn out provisions will be recorded as in increase to the purchase price allocated to goodwill at the time the payment is earned.

7

The Company has preliminarily identified the tangible and intangible assets as well as the liabilities assumed in the Campbell acquisition.  The final purchase price allocation could vary from the preliminary allocation.  The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Campbell acquisition was as follows (in thousands):

Inventories	$	1,401
Accounts receivable	1,111
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	21
Property and equipment	5,241
Goodwill	4,662
Intangible and other assets	6,440
Current liabilities	(645		)
Debt assumed	(43		)
Total purchase price	$	18,188

The Company determines the value and potential purchase price of target acquisition companies based on multiples of future cash flow. These cash flow projections may include an estimate of improved cash flow performance as compared to historical performance of the target acquisition company based on projected synergies. The value of the acquired company based on our cash flow analysis may differ significantly from the carrying value of the acquired net assets, resulting in an allocation of a significant portion of the purchase price to goodwill.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the purchase of MedSource and Campbell assuming the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of each period. This unaudited pro forma information has been provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that actually would have been achieved if the acquisitions had been on the dates indicated, or that may be reported in the future (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30, 2005		Nine months ended September 30, 2004
Net sales	$	348,542	$	314,080
Net income (loss)	12,530		115

The pro forma net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes $2.3 million of restructuring charges recognized by MedSource.

3.  Restructuring and Other Charges:

In connection with the MedSource acquisition, the Company identified $17.2 million of costs associated with eliminating duplicate positions and plant consolidations, which is comprised of $9.7 million in severance payments and $7.5 million in lease termination and other contract termination costs.   Severance payments relate to approximately 520 employees in manufacturing, selling and administration and are expected to be paid by the end of fiscal year 2007. All other costs are expected to be paid by 2018.  The costs of these plant consolidations were reflected in the purchase price of MedSource in accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)  No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.  These costs include estimates to close facilities and consolidate manufacturing capacity, and are subject to change based on the actual costs incurred to close these facilities.  Changes to these estimates could increase or decrease the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill in the near term.  During the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, the Company decreased the estimated liability for the MedSource facilities consolidation by $4.3 million, resulting in a decrease to the purchase price allocation to goodwill in the same amount.

The Company recognized an additional $3.8 million of restructuring charges and acquisition integration costs during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, including $1.2 million of severance costs and $2.1 million of other exit costs including costs to move production processes from five facilities that are closing to other production facilities of the Company.  In addition to the

The Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility dated June 30, 2004 and as amended on March 25, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”) includes $194.0 million of term loans and up to $40.0 million available under the revolving credit facility.  Additionally, the Company may borrow up to $50.0 million in additional term loans, with the approval of participating lenders.  The interest rate applicable to the term loans is as follows:  on base rate loans from base rate (generally the applicable prime lending rate of Credit Suisse First Boston, as announced from time to time) plus 2.00% to base rate plus 1.25%, on euro dollar rate loans from LIBOR plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.25%.  Principal payments are due in the amounts of $1.9 million per year plus, beginning in 2006, 75% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined by the Credit Agreement. The balance is due June 30, 2010.  As of September 30, 2005, $5.8 million of the revolving credit facility was supporting the Company’s letters of credit and $8.0 million was borrowed, leaving $26.2 million available.

In connection with the acquisition of Campbell on September 12, 2005, the Company used $8.0 million of its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”) under the Credit Agreement to fund part of the acquisition. The Revolving Loan is a euro dollar rate loan accruing interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.00%.  The Revolving Loan matures on June 30, 2010.

The Company incurred $0.8 million in fees in connection with the amendment of the Credit Agreement during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Also in connection with the amendment, the Company wrote off deferred financing costs resulting in a charge to interest expense of $0.2 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2005.

On June 30, 2004, the Company issued $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes.  Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on January 15^th and July 15^th of each year.

The Company’s debt agreements contain various covenants, including minimum cash flow (as defined therein), debt service coverage ratios and maximum capital spending limits. In addition, the debt agreements restrict the Company from paying dividends and making certain investments.  The covenants and restrictions of the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes apply only to the Company and not Parent.  All covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement apply to the Company, and the covenants and restrictions other than financial covenants apply to Parent.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company and Parent were in compliance with their respective covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Notes.

7.  Income taxes:

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $10.0 million on pre-tax income of $22.0 million, or 45.7% of pre-tax income.  The effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to $6.5 million in charges for non-cash deferred income taxes, including $5.2 million for tax benefits acquired from MedSource which have been credited to goodwill and not benefited in the statement of operations and $1.3 million of charges for the different book and tax treatment for goodwill. The remaining $3.5 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes $3.3 million for certain state and foreign income taxes and $0.2 million for domestic federal income taxes.  The Company expects to offset most of its 2005 domestic federal income taxes with net operating loss carryforwards.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded a tax provision of $2.3 million on a pre-tax net loss of $4.1 million, primarily due to provisions for certain state and foreign income taxes.

8.  Capital Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock:

The Company has 1,000 shares of common stock authorized and 100 shares issued and outstanding, $.01 per value per share.  All shares are owned by Parent.

10

The Company has received proceeds from the sale of permanent equity by Parent. The proceeds received by the Company from inception to September 30, 2005 amounted to $205.8 million and are included in additional paid-in capital. The Company is under no obligation to repay these amounts to Parent. For a further discussion of the equity instruments of Parent, see Notes 10 and 11 of the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The following table summarizes the amounts recorded as additional paid-in capital and redeemable convertible preferred stock of Parent for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (in thousands):

	Additional paid-in capital		Redeemable and convertible preferred stock of Parent
Beginning balance, January 1, 2005	$	201,348	$	30
Amortization of stock-based compensation	729		—
Compensation charge associated with phantom stock plans of Parent	29		—
Capital contribution from Parent	3,644		—
Redemption of redeemable and convertible preferred stock of Parent	—		(30		)
Ending balance, September 30, 2005	$	205,750	$	—

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the outstanding shares of Class B-2 Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock of Parent were redeemed for the carrying value of $30,000.  In addition, Parent issued 244,832 shares of its Class A-7 5% Convertible Preferred Stock to the former owners of Venusa in connection with Venusa achieving certain earn-out targets for fiscal year 2004. The Company recorded a contribution to capital of $3.6 million to reflect the issuance of these shares to the former owners of Venusa.  There are no additional earn-out provisions relating to the Venusa acquisition.

In July 2005, the Board of Directors of Parent approved the grant of 609,237 shares of its restricted common stock to certain members of the Company’s management.  The shares vest 100% on the four year anniversary from the date of grant.  The Company is recording compensation expense of $10.0 million over the vesting period of the restricted shares, or 48 months, resulting in a quarterly compensation charge to Selling, General and Administrative expense, or SG&A, of $624,000 starting in July 2005.  Also in July 2005, the Board of Directors of Parent approved the grant of 281,152 stock options to certain members of the Company’s management at option prices that are below the fair market value of the underlying common stock.  The Company is recording compensation expense of $2.3 million over the vesting period of the stock options, or 60 months, resulting in a quarterly compensation charge to SG&A of $115,000 starting in July 2005.

9.  Pension Plans:

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This standard requires the disclosure of the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods.  Components on net periodic pension cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Service cost	$	23		$	19		$	70		$	57
Interest cost	34			32			104			97
Expected return of plan assets	(14		)	(14		)	(44		)	(42		)
Recognized net actuarial loss	11			6			35			17
	$	54		$	43		$	165		$	129

11

Assuming that the actual return on plan assets is consistent with the expected annualized rate of 7.0% for the remainder of fiscal year 2005, and that interest rates remain constant, the Company would be required to make total contributions to its pension plans of $74,000 for fiscal year 2005.

10.  Subsequent Events:

On October 6, 2005, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding membership interests in Machining Technology Group, LLC (“MTG”), an Arlington, Tennessee based privately held manufacturing and engineering company specializing in rapid prototyping and manufacturing of specialized orthopaedic implants and instruments for the orthopaedic industry.  The purchase price was $50.2 million which was paid in cash of $34.0 million and shares of Parent’s Class A-9 5% Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $16.2 million.  An additional $6.0 million of consideration will be paid, if at all, pursuant to an earn out arrangement payable contingent upon the 2006 full year financial performance of MTG.  If the earn out arrangement is earned, the payment would be expected to be made in the second quarter of 2007.  The closing cash payment was funded with a combination of approximately $21.5 million of proceeds received from a draw on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and approximately $12.5 million of proceeds received from the utilization of the term loan facility provided for under the Credit Agreement.  Following the acquisition, the total amount available to be drawn on the revolving credit facility was approximately $4.7 million, net of approximately $5.8 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced the amounts available under the revolving credit facility.

On October 7, 2005, Parent signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (the “KKR Affiliate”).  In addition, the KKR Affiliate, Parent and certain stockholders of Parent executed a voting agreement in which the stockholders agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger.  The Company anticipates that it will refinance existing debt, including its Credit Facility and its existing Senior Subordinated Notes, in connection with the closing of the merger.

On October 21, 2005, the Company commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Offer”).  The consents of the holders of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes are being solicited to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive and reporting covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions in the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes.

The pending merger with the KKR Affiliate (the “Merger”), is subject to various customary conditions, including adoption of the merger agreement by Parent’s stockholders, the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the absence of certain legal impediments, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the receipt of debt and equity financings. If all of the other conditions to the Merger are satisfied, under the terms of the existing financing commitment letters, Parent can consummate the Merger even if the Offer is not consummated and the requisite consents, as defined in the Offer, are not obtained through a covenant defeasance of the Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes.  If the Merger is not consummated, the Company will not purchase any of the Senior Subordinated Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer or cause the proposed amendments in the Offer to become operative.

11.  Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:

In connection with the Company’s issuance of its Senior Subordinated Notes, all of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) guaranteed on a joint and several, full and unconditional basis, the repayment by the Company of such notes. Certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed such indebtedness.

The following tables present the unaudited consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 of the Company (“Holdings”), the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, certain statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify these “forward-looking statements” by words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these statements as a result of certain factors as more fully discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-118675) for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or publicly revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references in this quarterly report to “Accellent,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Accellent Corp. and its subsidiaries.  We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Accellent Inc., a Maryland corporation, which we refer to herein as “Accellent Inc.” or “our parent.”

Overview

We are the largest provider of outsourced precision manufacturing and engineering services in our target markets of the medical device industry.   We offer our customers design and engineering, precision component manufacturing, device assembly and supply chain management services. We have extensive resources focused on providing our customers reliable, high quality, cost-efficient, integrated outsourced solutions. We often become the sole supplier of manufacturing and engineering services for the products we provide to our customers.

We primarily focus on the leading companies in three large and growing markets within the medical device industry: cardiology, endoscopy, and orthopaedics. Our customers include many of the leading medical device companies, including Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, Guidant, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Smith & Nephew, St. Jude Medical, Stryker, Tyco International and Zimmer. During 2004, our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 55% of net sales with two customers each accounting for greater than 10% of net sales.  During the first nine months of 2005, our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 61% of net sales with three customers each accounting for greater than 10% of net sales.    Although we expect net sales from our largest customers to continue to constitute a significant portion of our net sales in the future, Boston Scientific has informed us that it intends to transfer a number of products currently assembled by us to its own assembly operation.  Based on preliminary estimates and our experience to date with this customer, we expect net sales from Boston Scientific to decrease annually by approximately $40 million, with the substantial majority of the net sales decrease taking place in 2006.  While we believe that the transferred business can be replaced with new business from existing and potential new customers to offset the loss, there is no assurance that we will replace such business and the loss will not adversely affect our operating results in 2006 and thereafter. While net sales are aggregated by us to the ultimate parent of a customer, we typically generate diversified revenue streams within these large customers across separate divisions and multiple products.

On September 12, 2005, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, CE Huntsville Holdings Corp., acquired substantially all of the assets of Campbell Engineering, Inc., or Campbell.   The Campbell acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly our results of operations include Campbell’s results beginning September 12, 2005.   Campbell is an engineering and manufacturing firm providing design, analysis, precision fabrication, assembly and testing of primarily orthopaedic implants and instruments.  Subject to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary CE Huntsville Holdings Corp. agreed to pay, in the aggregate, a cash purchase price for the assets (including the shareholder real property) of up to approximately $30.1 million, with approximately $18.1 million of which (before certain closing adjustments) was payable at the closing.  The actual amount paid at closing after closing adjustments was $17.7 million, plus estimated closing costs of $0.5 million, for a total initial purchase price of $18.2 million.   The remaining portion of the purchase price will be paid, if at all, pursuant to an earnout arrangement payable contingent upon the 2005 and 2006 full year financial performance of the acquired business.  If earned, the 2005 and 2006 earnout payments would be expected to be made in

19

the second quarters of 2006 and 2007, respectively.  The closing cash payment was funded with a combination of cash on hand and approximately $8.0 million of proceeds received from a draw on our existing revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Loan, included in the Credit Agreement.  The Revolving Loan is a euro dollar rate loan accruing interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.00%.  The Revolving Loan matures on June 30, 2010. In connection with the transaction, CE Huntsville Holdings Corp. became a subsidiary guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes and of our obligations under our Credit Agreement.

Subsequent to our third quarter of 2005, on October 6, 2005, we purchased 100% of the outstanding membership interests in Machining Technology Group, LLC, or MTG, an Arlington, Tennessee based privately held manufacturing and engineering company specializing in rapid prototyping and manufacturing of specialized orthopaedic implants and instruments for the orthopaedic industry.  The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2005, by and among Accellent Corp., Gary Stavrum and Timothy Hanson, the members of MTG (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”).  Subject to the terms of the Interest Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay, in the aggregate, approximately $50.2 million consisting of (i) approximately $33.0 million in cash (before certain closing adjustments)  which was paid at the closing, (ii) $16.2 million which was paid at the closing on our behalf by our parent company by the issuance of 407,407 shares of our parent’s Class A-9 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iii) estimated closing costs of $1.0 million.  An additional $6.0 million will be paid, if at all, pursuant to an earnout arrangement payable contingent upon the 2006 full year financial performance of MTG.  If the earnout arrangement is earned, the earnout payment would be expected to be made in the second quarter of 2007.  The closing cash payment was funded with a combination of approximately $21.5 million of proceeds received from a draw on our existing revolving credit facility pursuant to our Credit Agreement, and approximately $12.5 million of proceeds received from the utilization of the term loan facility provided for under the Credit Agreement.

On October 7, 2005, our parent signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Accellent Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (the “KKR Affiliate”), whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of the KKR Affiliate will merge (the “Merger”) with and into our parent, Accellent Inc., with Accellent Inc. being the surviving entity.  In addition, the KKR Affiliate, our parent and certain stockholders of our parent executed a voting agreement in which the stockholders agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Merger.

On October 21, 2005, we commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Solicitation”) for any and all of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes.  The consents of the holders of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes (each a “Holder”) are being solicited in the Solicitation to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive and reporting covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions in the Indenture.  The Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2005, unless extended by us.  The Solicitation is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 3, 2005, unless extended by us.  For a further discussion of the Offer and the Solicitation, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on October 24, 2005.

The Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by our parent’s stockholders, the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the absence of certain legal impediments, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the receipt of debt and equity financings. If all of the other conditions to the Merger are satisfied, under the terms of the existing financing commitment letters, our parent can consummate the Merger even if the Offer is not consummated and the requisite consents, as defined in the Offer, are not obtained through a covenant defeasance of the Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes.  If the Merger is not consummated, we will not purchase any of the Senior Subordinated Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer or cause the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Indenture”) in the Offer to become operative.  The proposed amendments, or the Amendments, include the elimination of substantially all of the restrictive and reporting convenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes so that any non-tendered Senior Subordinated Notes do not restrict our future financial or operating flexibility.

We primarily recognize product net sales upon shipment, when title passes to the customer or, if products are shipped on consignment to a particular customer, when the customer uses the product. For services, we recognize net sales during the period in which our services are rendered.  We primarily generate our net sales domestically.  In 2004, approximately 85% of our net sales were sold to customers located in the U.S.  Since a substantial majority of the leading medical device companies are located in the U.S., we expect our net sales to U.S.-based companies to remain a high percentage of our net sales in the future.

20

Our operations are based on purchase orders that typically provide for 30 to 90 days delivery from the time the purchase order is received, but which can provide for delivery within 30 days or up to 180 days, depending on the product and the customer’s ability to forecast requirements.

Cost of goods sold includes raw materials, labor and other manufacturing costs associated with the products we sell. Some products incorporate precious metals, such as gold, silver and platinum. Changes in prices for those commodities are generally passed through to our customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, sales commissions, and other selling and administrative costs.

Amortization of intangible assets is primarily related to our acquisitions of G&D, Inc. d/b/a Star Guide, Noble-Met, Ltd., UTI Corporation, American Technical Molding, Inc., Venusa, Ltd. and Venusa de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (together with Venusa, Ltd., “Venusa”), MedSource and Campbell Engineering, Inc.  Interest expense is primarily related to indebtedness incurred to finance our acquisitions.

Concurrent with our acquisition of MedSource on June 30, 2004, we aligned our management by the three medical device market segments which we serve.  As a result of this alignment, we have three operating segments: endoscopy, cardiology and orthopaedics.  We have determined that all of our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria of paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131, and are treated as one reportable segment.

In connection with the MedSource acquisition, we identified $17.2 million of costs associated with eliminating duplicate positions and plant consolidations, which is comprised of $9.7 million in severance payments and $7.5 million in lease termination and other contract termination costs.   Severance payments relate to approximately 520 employees in manufacturing, selling and administration and are expected to be paid by the end of fiscal year 2007. All other costs are expected to be paid by 2018.  The costs of these plant consolidations were reflected in the purchase price of MedSource in accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)  No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.  These costs include estimates to close facilities and consolidate manufacturing capacity, and are subject to change based on the actual costs incurred to close these facilities.  Changes to these estimates could increase or decrease the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill in the near term.  During the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, we decreased the estimated liability for the MedSource facilities consolidation by $4.3 million, resulting in a decrease to the purchase price allocation to goodwill in the same amount.  The MedSource acquisition is described in greater detail under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements, Note 2 – Acquisitions.”

The following table summarizes the recorded accruals and activity related to the restructuring activities (in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

Net Sales

Net sales for the third quarter of 2005 were $116.7 million, an increase of $16.4 million or 16% compared to net sales of $100.3 million for the third quarter of 2004. Higher net sales was due to a $19.4 million increase from higher shipments as we were awarded new products and increases in unit shipments on existing products to customers that serve the endoscopic, cardiology and orthopaedic markets, and the acquisition of Campbell, which increased net sales by $0.7 million.  These increases were partially offset by our facility rationalization program, which included the closing or sale of select facilities, resulting in a reduction in net sales attributable to former MedSource facilities of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2005.  Three customers, Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific and Medtronic each accounted for greater than 10% of net sales for the third quarter of 2005.  Two customers, Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson, accounted for greater than 10% of net sales for the third quarter of 2004.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 was $36.9 million as compared to $22.8 million for the third quarter of 2004.   The $14.1 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to the MedSource acquisition and unit volume increases.  Additionally, gross profit for the third quarter of 2004 included a $3.2 million write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of MedSource.  Gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 includes a $0.1 million write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of Campbell.

Gross margin was 31.6% of net sales for the third quarter of 2005 as compared to 22.8% of net sales for the third quarter of 2004.  The increase in gross margins is due to increased sales, which lead to improved leverage of our fixed cost of sales, and cost reduction efforts including the closure of production facilities.  Also, gross margin for the third quarter of 2004 included the write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of MedSource, which reduced gross margin by 3.2% in that quarter.

Selling, General and Administration Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, were $18.5 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2004. The increase in SG&A costs were primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $2,625,000 for the third quarter of 2005 as a result of our increased liability for phantom stock plans due to the increase in value of our parent’s stock, and to amortize compensation related to restricted stock and stock options granted during the third quarter of 2005.  In addition, our SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2005 include $0.6 million of expenses related to the Merger.

22

In July 2005, the Board of Directors of our parent approved the grant of 609,237 shares of restricted common stock of our parent to certain members of its and our management.  Each shares vests 100% on the four year anniversary from the date of grant.  We are recording compensation expense of $10.0 million over the vesting period of the restricted stock, or 48 months, resulting in a quarterly compensation charge to SG&A expense of $624,000 starting in July 2005.  Also in July 2005, the Board of Directors of our parent approved the grant of 281,152 stock options to certain members of its and our management at option prices that are below the fair market value of the underlying common stock.  We are recording compensation expense of $2.3 million over the vesting period of the stock options, or 60 months, resulting in a quarterly compensation charge to SG&A of $115,000 starting in July 2005.  If the Merger is consummated, the restricted stock and stock options granted in July 2005 will fully vest, resulting in an acceleration of all remaining unamortized non-cash stock based compensation.

SG&A expenses were 15.9% of net sales for the third quarter of 2005 versus 14.1% of net sales for the third quarter of 2004.  The increased percentage was primarily due to increased charges for stock-based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, or R&D, for the third quarter of 2005 were $0.9 million or 0.7% of net sales, which is relatively unchanged from R&D expenses of $0.8 million or 0.8% of net sales for the third quarter of 2004.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We recognized $1.2 million of restructuring charges and acquisition integration costs during the third quarter of 2005, including $0.3 million of severance costs and $0.7 million of other exit costs including costs to move production processes from five facilities that are in the process of being closed and production transferred to our other existing facilities.  In addition, we incurred $0.2 million of costs for the integration of MedSource during the third quarter of 2005.

Amortization

Amortization was $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2005, a slight increase from the $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2004. The higher amortization was primarily due to the acquisition of Campbell, which we acquired on September 12, 2005.  Based on our initial estimate of the value of assets acquired from Campbell, we expect to incur approximately $0.5 million of annual amortization expense relating to intangible assets acquired from Campbell.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2004.  The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates charged on borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which bear interest at a variable rate.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2005 was $3.9 million, or 57.8% of pre-tax net income, and includes $2.7 million in charges for non-cash deferred income taxes, including $2.3 million for tax benefits acquired from MedSource which have been credited to goodwill and not benefited in the statement of operations and $0.4 million of charges for the different book and tax treatment of goodwill.  The remaining $1.5 million of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2005 includes $1.4 million for certain state and foreign income taxes and $0.1 million for domestic federal income tax expense.  We expect to offset most of our 2005 domestic federal income taxes with net operating loss carryforwards.  For the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, income tax expense was $1.3 million on a pre-tax net loss of $3.1 million, and as was comprised primarily of certain state and foreign income tax expense.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

Net Sales

Net sales for the first nine months of 2005 were $340.3 million, an increase of $127.8 million or 60% compared to net sales of $212.5 million for the first nine months of 2004. Higher net sales was due to the acquisition of MedSource, which increased net sales by $89.8 million, a $49.3 million increase primarily due to higher shipments as we were awarded new products

23

and increases in unit shipments on existing products to customers that serve the endoscopic, cardiology and orthopaedic markets as well as $0.7 million from the acquisition of Campbell.  These increases were partially offset by our facility rationalization program, which included the closing or sale of select facilities, resulting in a reduction in net sales attributable to former MedSource facilities of $12.0 million for the first nine months of 2005.  Three customers, Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic each accounted for greater than 10% of net sales for the first nine months of 2005.  Two customers, Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson each accounted for greater than 10% of net sales for the first nine months of 2004.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2005 was $106.1 million compared to $57.3 million for the first nine months of 2004.   The $48.8 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to the MedSource acquisition and unit volume increases.  Additionally, gross profit for the first nine months of 2004 included a $3.4 million write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of MedSource, and gross profit for the first nine months of 2005 included a $0.1 million write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of Campbell.

Gross margin was 31.2% of net sales for the first nine months of 2005 compared to 27.0% of net sales for the first nine months of 2004.  The increase in gross margins is due to increased sales, which lead to improved leverage of our fixed cost of sales, and cost reduction efforts.  Also, gross margin for the first nine months of 2004 included the write-off of the step-up of inventory related to the acquisition of MedSource, which reduced gross margin by 1.6% in that period.

Selling, General and Administration Expenses

SG&A expenses, were $49.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $30.7 million for the first nine months of 2004. The increase in SG&A costs were primarily due to the acquisition of MedSource and stock-based compensation charges of $3.6 million during the first nine months of 2005 as a result of our increased liability for phantom stock plans due to the increase in value of our parent’s stock, and to amortize compensation expense associated with restricted stock and stock options granted during the third quarter of 2005.   In addition, our SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2005 include $0.6 million of expenses related to the Merger.

SG&A expenses were 14.5% of net sales for the first nine months of 2005 versus 14.4% of net sales for the first nine months of 2004. The higher 2005 percentage was driven primarily by increased charges for stock-based compensation in the 2005 period.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenses for the first nine months of 2005 were $2.3 million or 0.7% of net sales, compared to $2.0 million or 1.0% of net sales for the first nine months of 2004.  The lower 2005 percentage was driven by sales growth, which lead to improved leverage of our fixed R&D costs.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We recognized $3.8 million of restructuring charges and acquisition integration costs during the first nine months of 2005, including $1.2 million of severance costs and $2.1 million of other exit costs including costs to move production processes from five facilities that are closing to our other production facilities.  In addition to the $3.3 million in restructuring charges incurred during first nine months of 2005, we incurred $0.5 million of costs for the integration of MedSource.

Amortization

Amortization was $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $3.9 million for the first nine months of 2004. The higher amortization was primarily due to the acquisition of MedSource.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $23.7 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $19.4 million for the first nine months of 2004.  The increase was due to increased debt incurred to acquire MedSource.  This increase was partially offset by

24

$4.5 million of accelerated amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs incurred during the first nine months of 2004 due to the refinancing of our old senior secured credit facility and various senior subordinated indebtedness.

Other expense

Other expense was $0.1 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2004.  The decrease is primarily due to debt prepayment penalties of $3.3 million incurred during the first nine months of 2004.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $10.0 million on pre-tax income of $22.0 million, or 45.7% of pre-tax income.  The effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to $6.5 million in charges for non-cash deferred income taxes, including $5.2 million for tax benefits acquired from MedSource that have been credited to goodwill and not benefited in the statement of operations and $1.3 million of charges for the different book and tax treatment for goodwill. The remaining $3.5 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes $3.3 million for certain state and foreign income taxes and $0.2 million for domestic federal income taxes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded a tax provision of $2.3 million on a pre-tax net loss of $4.1 million, primarily due to provisions for certain state and foreign income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement which includes a five-year $40.0 million revolving credit facility and a six-year $194.0 million term facility.   Additionally, we may borrow up to $50.0 million in additional term loans, with the approval of participating lenders.  Our Credit Agreement is described in greater detail under Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – “Short-term and long-term debt,” and under Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

At September 30, 2005, we had $5.8 million of letters of credit outstanding and $8.0 million of revolving loans that reduced the amounts available under the revolving credit portion of our Credit Agreement to $26.2 million.  We received $12.5 million from additional terms loans in October 2005 in connection with our acquisition of MTG.  In addition, we drew an additional $21.5 million in revolving loans on our revolving credit facility in October 2005 in connection with our acquisition of MTG, leaving $4.7 million available under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement.

During the first nine months of 2005, cash provided by operating activities was $21.5 million compared to $6.2 million for the first nine months of 2004. The increase in cash provided by operations is primarily due to increased profitability as a result of the acquisition of MedSource and increased demand for our products.  The increase in profitability has been partially offset by increases in working capital for inventory and accounts receivable due to higher sales, payments related to our restructuring programs, and the timing of the semi-annual interest payments on our Senior Subordinated Notes.

During the first nine months of 2005, cash used in investing activities totaled $35.6 million compared to $221.3 million for the first nine months of 2004.   The decrease in cash used in investing activities is attributable to the acquisition of MedSource, which used $204.4 million of cash during the first nine months of 2004, and an earn-out payment relating to our acquisition of Venusa, which used $9.6 million of cash during the first nine months of 2004.  These costs were partially offset by the acquisition of Campbell for $17.9 million in cash during the first nine months of 2005, the final Venusa earn-out payment of $2.2 million during the first nine months of 2005, and increased capital expenditures of $6.9 million during the first nine months of 2005 due to the acquisition of MedSource and increased demand for our products.

During the first nine months of 2005, cash provided by financing activities was $5.7 million and consisted of $8.0 million in proceeds from long-term debt to partially fund our Campbell acquisition, $1.5 million of scheduled debt payments pursuant to our Credit Agreement, and $0.8 million of deferred financing fees incurred in connection with the amendment of our Credit Agreement in March 2005.  Cash provided by financing activities was $218.6 million for the first nine months of 2004 and relate primarily to the following financing transactions, which took place in conjunction with our June 30, 2004 acquisition of MedSource:

25

•The issuance of $369.0 million of indebtedness consisting of our Credit Agreement, which is a $194.0 million six-year term facility, and $175.0 million of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 15, 2012.  We incurred $17.1 million of fees related to the new debt.

•The repayment of all previously outstanding debt, which included our credit facility of $83.5 million, our senior subordinated notes of $21.5 million and our parent’s senior notes of $38.3 million.

•The repayment of all MedSource debt and capital leases totaling $36.1 million.

•The payment by our parent of $22.2 million of dividends.

•The repurchase by our parent of $18.8 million of its Class C Redeemable Preferred Stock.

•The issuance by our parent of 7,568,980 shares of its Class A-8 5% Convertible Preferred stock for approximately $88.0 million, net of $1.8 million of fees.

We anticipate that we will spend approximately $8.0 to $10.0 million on capital expenditures for the remainder of 2005. Our Credit Agreement contains restrictions on our ability to make capital expenditures. Based on current estimates, our management believes that the amount of capital expenditures permitted to be made under our Credit Agreement for the remainder of 2005 will be adequate to grow our business according to our business strategy and to maintain our continuing operations.

Our principal uses of cash will be to meet debt service requirements, fund working capital requirements and finance capital expenditures and acquisitions.  Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and necessary working capital will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. For example, Boston Scientific has informed us that it intends to transfer a number of products currently assembled by us to its own assembly operation. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.

Consummation of the Merger will constitute a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Following a Change of Control, each Holder currently has the right, at the option of the Holder, to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of such Holder’s Senior Subordinated Notes no later than 90 days following the Change of Control at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount represented by such Senior Subordinated Notes together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.  In the event that consents from the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Requisite Consents”) are obtained and the Company consummates the Offer and Solicitation, the Company will not be required to comply with the foregoing requirements.

In connection with the Merger, we intend to consummate an offering of new senior subordinated notes and enter into a new senior secured credit facility, the proceeds of which will be used to repay certain of our outstanding indebtedness, including the Offer and Solicitation (the “New Financing”).  The commitments for the New Financing also provide that in the event that the Requisite Consents are not obtained, a covenant defeasance of all of the Senior Subordinated Notes may be effected in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The completion of the New Financing may, if the proposed Amendments are not adopted, violate certain covenants and other provisions in the Indenture.

Assuming the Merger is consummated, the Requisite Consents are obtained and we consummate the New Financing, we and our parent will experience a significant increase in our long-term indebtedness. The high degree of leverage may, among other things, make it more difficult for us to make payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes that remain outstanding after the Offer, limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes and limit our use of cash flows from operations for our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities. In addition, the Senior Subordinated Notes that remain outstanding after the Offer will remain our unsecured obligations. The Senior Subordinated Notes will be effectively subordinated to the new senior secured credit facility. In addition, we may incur or guarantee additional secured debt pursuant to the New Financing, and the Senior Subordinated Notes will be effectively junior to any such additional secured debt we may incur or guarantee.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as such term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table sets forth our long-term contractual obligations as of September 30, 2005 (in thousands):

	Payment due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years

(1)Accrued future rental obligations of $6.7 million included in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 are included in our operating leases in the table of contractual obligations.  The amounts shown as contractual obligations for operating leases include lease extensions options which we expect will be exercised.

(2)Other long-term obligations include environmental remediation obligations of $4.7 million, accrued severance benefits of $1.5 million, accrued compensation and pension benefits of $7.2 million, deferred income taxes of $4.7 million and deferred rent expense of $0.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies impact our judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.  The amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is impacted by our judgments made in establishing our reserve for potential future product returns. We provide a reserve for our estimate of future returns against revenue in the period the revenue is recorded. Our estimate of future returns is based on such factors as historical return data the timing of historical returns as compared to the sale date. The amount of revenue we recognize will be directly impacted by our estimates made to establish the reserve for potential future product returns.   Our provision for sales returns was $1.1 million and $0.8 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  We estimate the collectibility of our accounts receivable and the related amount of bad debts that may be incurred in the future. The allowance for doubtful accounts results from an analysis of specific customer accounts, historical experience, credit ratings and current economic trends. Based on this analysis, we provide allowances for specific accounts where collectibility is not reasonably assured.

27

Provision for Inventory Valuation.  Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand forecasts. Excess and obsolete inventory are valued at their net realizable value, which may be zero. We periodically experience variances between the amount of inventory purchased and contractually committed to and our demand forecasts, resulting in excess and obsolete inventory valuation charges.

Valuation of Goodwill.  Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. We have assigned our goodwill to three reporting units. Goodwill for each reporting unit is subject to an annual impairment test, or more often if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based approach. In assessing the fair value of goodwill, we make projections regarding future cash flow and other estimates, and may utilize third party appraisal services. If these projections or other estimates for one or all of these reporting units change, we may be required to record an impairment charge.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets.  Long-lived assets are comprised of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through projected undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. When we determine that the carrying value of intangible assets and fixed assets may not be recoverable, we measure impairment by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related fair value. Estimated fair value is generally based on projections of future cash flows and other estimates, and guidance from third party appraisal services.

Self Insurance Reserves.  We accrue for costs to provide self insured benefits under our workers’ compensation and employee health benefits programs.  With the assistance of third party workers’ compensation experts, we determine the accrual for workers’ compensation losses based on estimated costs to resolve each claim.  We accrue for self insured health benefits based on historical claims experience.  We maintain insurance coverage to prevent financial losses from catastrophic workers’ compensation or employee health benefit claims.  Our financial position or results of operations could be impacted in a fiscal quarter due to a material increase in claims.  Our accruals for self insured workers compensation and employee health benefits at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $3.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Environmental Reserves.  We accrue for environmental remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Our remediation cost estimates are based on the facts known at the current time including consultation with a third party environmental specialist and external legal counsel. Changes in environmental laws, improvements in remediation technology and discovery of additional information concerning known or new environmental matters could affect our operating results.

Pension and Other Employee Benefits.  Certain assumptions are used in the calculation of the actuarial valuation of our defined benefit pension plans. These assumptions include the weighted average discount rate, rates of increase in compensation levels and expected long-term rates of return on assets. If actual results are less favorable than those projected by management, additional expense may be required.

Income Taxes.  We estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as goodwill amortization, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we increase or decrease our income tax provision in our consolidated statement of operations. If any of our estimates of our prior period taxable income or loss prove to be incorrect, material differences could impact the amount and timing of income tax benefits or payments for any period.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

28

We are currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 151 will have on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.”   SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for our first annual period that begins after December 31, 2005. Accordingly, we will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, we account for share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements.   We are assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact our results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

We are subject to market risk associated with change in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to market risk associated with change in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the Federal Funds Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in connection with the Credit Agreement. Based on the outstanding balance at September 30, 2005, a hypothetical 10% change in rates under the Credit Agreement would result in a change to our annual interest expense of approximately $1.2 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate several facilities in foreign countries. At September 30, 2005, approximately $7.4 million of long-lived assets were located in foreign countries. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, British pound and Mexican pesos. We consider the market risk to be low, as the majority of transactions at our European locations are denominated in the Euro or British Pound, and our exposure to date in the Mexican peso has not been significant.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act ) are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Under the direct supervision of senior management, the Company is currently undergoing a comprehensive effort to ensure compliance with the new regulations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will be effective with respect to us for our fiscal years ending December 31, 2007. Our effort includes identification and documentation of internal controls in our key business processes, as well as formalization of the Company’s overall control environment. We are currently in the process of documenting and evaluating these internal controls.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

In this supplemental information, “Accellent”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Accellent Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires or it is otherwise indicated; “Parent” or “our parent” refers to Accellent Inc.; and KKR refers to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.

THE TRANSACTIONS

On October 7, 2005, our parent entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Accellent Acquisition Corp., or AAC, an entity controlled by affiliates of KKR, pursuant to which Accellent Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAC, will merge with and into our parent, with our parent being the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

The merger agreement contains various covenants regarding the conduct of our business prior to the closing of the Merger. In addition, the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including certain regulatory approvals and the consummation of the debt financings described in the following paragraph or other satisfactory financing.

In connection with the Merger, an investment fund controlled by KKR and others will make an equity investment in AAC’s parent and thereby in us of approximately $613.7 million, with approximately $30.5 million of equity expected to be rolled over by certain members of management. In addition, in connection with the Merger, our parent or AAC’s parent in the case of bullet five below intends to:

•enter into a new senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $375.0 million senior secured term loan facility and a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that is expected to remain undrawn at closing;

•issue $325 million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes;

•repay approximately $412.3 million of our existing indebtedness (including accrued interest of $3.7 million, assuming the Transactions were consummated on September 30, 2005), including pursuant to a tender offer our $175 million 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012;

•pay approximately $73.0 million of transaction fees and expenses, including tender offer and consent solicitation premiums; and

•issue new options to purchase shares of AAC’s parent to certain members of our management.

We have commenced a tender offer to purchase all of our outstanding 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and are soliciting consents from the respective holders of those notes to amend the indenture governing the notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and effect certain other amendments to the indenture.

The Merger and related financing transactions are referred to collectively herein as the “Transactions.”

After giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, as of September 30, 2005, we would have had indebtedness of approximately $700.0 million outstanding, including $375.0 million of secured indebtedness consisting of the senior secured credit facilities described above.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements contain unaudited historical financial data for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 that are derived from our, MedSource Technologies, Inc.’s (“MedSource”), Campbell Engineering, Inc.’s (“Campbell”) and Machining Technology Group, LLC’s (“MTG”) audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements. We consummated the MedSource acquisition on June 30, 2004 and, as a result, the assets and liabilities of MedSource are recorded on our balance sheet as of the date of the MedSource acquisition and the results of operations of MedSource for June 30, 2004 are included in our results for that day and each day thereafter. We consummated the acquisition of Campbell’s assets on September 12, 2005, and the MTG acquisition on October 6, 2005. As a result, the assets and liabilities of MTG are not recorded on our balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The results of operations of Campbell are and MTG will be reflected in our results for the day of the acquisition and each day thereafter. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 give effect to the MedSource, Campbell asset and MTG acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005 gives effect to the MTG acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to present our actual financial position or the results of operations that actually would have occurred or that may be obtained in the future if the transactions described had occurred as presented. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in such statements due to certain factors beyond our control.

The Campbell asset and MTG acquisitions include the following transactions:

•the acquisition of the assets of Campbell for approximately $18.2 million in cash;

•the acquisition of MTG for approximately $50.2 million, paid in cash of $34.0 million and shares of Class A Convertible Preferred stock of our parent of approximately $16.2 million;

•additional borrowings of $42.0 million under our senior secured credit facility, which include additional terms loans of $12.5 million and revolving of credit facility borrowings of $29.5 million; and

•the repayment of all existing indebtedness of MTG concurrent with the closing of our acquisition of MTG.

The transactions related to the MedSource acquisition that impact the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include the following:

•the acquisition of MedSource for $204.9 million in cash (net of $14.3 million of cash acquired);

•the payment in cash of MedSource’s indebtedness and accrued interest of $37.0 million;

•the payment in cash of our old senior secured credit facility, our old senior subordinated indebtedness, Parent’s senior indebtedness, and accrued interest of $154.1 million;

•the borrowings under our senior secured credit facility of $194.0 million;

•the offering of our 10% senior subordinated notes due July 15, 2012, which generated $175.0 million in cash; and

•the payment of fees in connection with our senior secured credit facility and senior subordinated notes which will be amortized to interest expense over the life of each respective instrument.

2

The unaudited pro forma as adjusted consolidated statements of operations have been adjusted to give effect to the Transactions as if these events occurred as of January 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma as adjusted consolidated balance sheet has been adjusted to give effect to the Transactions as if these events occurred as of September 30, 2005. The unaudited pro forma as adjusted consolidated financial data are for informational purposes only and do not purport to present what our results of operations and financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on these earlier dates, nor do they project our results of operations for any future period or our financial condition at any future date.

The unaudited pro forma data account for the MedSource, Campbell and MTG acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that we adjust their assets and liabilities to their fair values. The valuation of Campbell and MTG is based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The total purchase price for Campbell and MTG was allocated to our net assets based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation will be based on a formal valuation analysis and may include adjustments to the amounts shown here. The summary pro forma data account for the Transactions using the purchase method of accounting which requires that we adjust all of our assets and liabilities to their fair values as of the date the Merger. The valuation of our assets and liabilities is based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. A final valuation is in process. The result of the final allocation could be materially different from the preliminary allocation set forth in the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements. In particular, we have initiated an appraisal of all property, plant and equipment acquired from MTG, and to be acquired from us in the Merger. We believe no material adjustment to the net book value will be recorded for MTG’s or our aggregate property, plant and equipment. However, the results of the final appraisal and the final allocation could be materially different from the preliminary allocation set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The audited and unaudited financial statements from which these pro forma financial statements are derived that are not included in this filing are included in periodic reports previously filed by the Company or MedSource (prior to our acquisition of MedSource) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed for its third completed fiscal quarter. These reports can be found and reviewed at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http: //www.sec.gov.

ACCELLENT CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations

(a)Represents the elimination of sales by the Company to MedSource and sales by MedSource to the Company totaling $527,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

(b)The Company commenced the incurrence of an annual monitoring fee to DLJ Merchant Banking III, Inc., in connection with the MedSource acquisition and increased salaries for certain employees in connection with the MTG acquisition. In connection with the Campbell and MTG acquisitions, the Company acquired real estate which was previously leased to the acquired companies by related parties. As a result, the Company will incur increased depreciation and less rent expense. The Company will not incur transaction costs previously incurred by Campbell and MTG in connection with the sale of those businesses to the Company. These adjustments are as follows (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30, 2004			Twelve months ended December 31, 2004			Nine months ended September 30, 2005
Elimination of intercompany sales	$	(527	)	$	(527	)	$	—
Salaries adjustment	130			133			106
Depreciation expense increase	102			135			42
Rent expense reduction	(200		)	(266		)	(72		)
Total adjustments to cost of sales	$	(495	)	$	(525	)	$	76
Salaries adjustment	130			133			106
Transaction expenses	—			—			(336		)
Additional monitoring fee to DLJ	200			200			—
Total adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses	$	330		$	333		$	(230	)

(c)The pro forma adjustment for amortization expense was based on the identifiable intangible assets and useful lives assigned to each. The actual amount of identifiable intangible assets of MedSource and the estimated identifiable intangible assets of Campbell and MTG, and the respective lives of each are as follows:

	Amount		Useful life
	(in thousands)		(in years)
Customer base—MedSource	$	16,300	15
Developed technology—MedSource	2,300		10
Customer relationship—Campbell	6,050		15
Customer relationship—Campbell	360		5
Non-compete—Campbell	30		5
Customer relationship—MTG	13,600		15
Customer relationship—MTG	340		7
	$	38,980	14

The Company has estimated the identifiable intangible assets of Campbell and MTG, and their respectively useful lives. The valuation for both are expected to be completed by December 31, 2005. An increase or decrease in the amount of purchase price allocated to amortizable assets would

11

impact the amount of amortization expense. Identifiable intangible assets have been amortized on a straight-line basis in the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Based on the 14 year estimated weighted average useable life of the intangible assets described above, each increase of $1.0 million of purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets would result in an annual decrease to pro forma income from operations of approximately $0.1 million. Based on the $39.0 million of intangible assets described above, a decrease of 1, 2 and 3 years in the weighted average useful life would result in annual decreases to pro forma income from operations of approximately $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

(d)Consists of (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30, 2004			Twelve months ended December 31, 2004			Nine months ended September 30, 2005
Elimination of interest on retired indebtedness at the Company	$	11,970		$	11,970		$	—
Elimination of interest on retired indebtedness at MedSource, Campbell and MTG	1,329			1,358			166
Interest on borrowings under the senior credit facility and the notes	(13,164		)	(13,164		)	—
Amortization of deferred financing fees of the Company	(1,193		)	(1,193		)	—
Interest on debt to fund Campbell and MTG acquisitions	(2,126		)	(2,835		)	(2,126		)
	$	(3,184	)	$	(3,864	)	$	(1,960	)

(e)Represents the elimination of the one-time expenses for prepayment fees associated with the retired indebtedness of the Company.

(f)Campbell was a Subchapter S corporation prior to the acquisition, and therefore not subject to corporate income taxes. MTG was a limited liability company subject only to state corporate income taxes. Adjustments represent additional corporate level income taxes since both entities will be subject to federal and state income tax after the acquisition. Only incremental state taxes were provided for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to the federal taxable net operating loss incurred. Only incremental state taxes and certain non-cash federal taxes were provided for the nine month period ending September 30, 2005 due to the net operating loss carryforward available for federal tax purposes.

12

(g)Represents change in amortization based upon preliminary estimates of the fair values and useful lives of identifiable intangible assets and the respective lives of each category of identifiable intangible asset is as follows (in thousands):

	Amount		Life
			(years)
Customer Base & Relationships	$	229,500	15.0
Proprietary Technology	17,000		8.5
	$	246,500	14.2
Indefinite life intangibles—Trademarks & Tradenames	$	33,000

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a preliminary allocation to tangible assets, liabilities, goodwill and other intangible assets. The final purchase price allocation may result in a materially different allocation for tangible and intangible assets than that presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. An increase or decrease in the amount of purchase price allocated to amortizable assets would impact the amount of annual amortization expense. Identifiable intangible assets have been amortized on a straight-line basis in the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of income.

The following table shows the decrease to pro forma income from operations for every $10.0 million of purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets at an estimated 14.2 year life (in thousands):

	Twelve months		Nine months
Decrease in operating income	$	704	$	528

The following table shows the decrease in pro forma income from operations for every 1 year decrease in the weighted average useful life of the estimated identifiable intangible assets described above (in thousands):

	Twelve months	Nine months
Decrease by 1 year	1,315	986
Decrease by 2 years	2,846	2,134
Decrease by 3 years	4,650	3,487

(h)Reflects pro forma interest expense resulting from our new capital structure in connection with the Transactions, using 6-month LIBOR rates at October 19, 2005, as follows (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30, 2004			Twelve months ended December 31, 2004			Nine months ended September 30, 2005
Total cash interest expense	$	43,106		$	57,475		$	43,106
Amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs	2,950			3,972			2,950
Total pro forma interest expense	46,056			61,447			46,056
Less historical interest expense	(23,910		)	(32,101		)	(25,857		)
Net adjustment to interest expense	$	22,146		$	29,346		$	20,199

13

Interest rate sensitivity

A 0.125% change in interest rates on the new debt issuance would change cash interest expense for the twelve-month and nine-month periods for each new debt instrument as follows (in thousands):

	Twelve month period		Nine month period
Term loan credit facilities	$	469	$	352
Senior subordinated notes	406		305
Total	$	875	$	657

(i)Represents the elimination of non-cash taxes recorded in connection with the usage of net operating losses acquired from MedSource. Based on the pro forma pre-tax net income, these non-cash taxes would not be recorded. No additional benefit is recorded due to net operating loss carryforwards available for both the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

(j)Net income does not include the following non-recurring items: $14.6 million write-off of existing deferred financing fees, $30.7 million of estimated tender offer and consent solicitation premiums to repurchase the existing senior subordinated notes, $2.6 million of transaction costs to be expensed prior to or upon the Closing, a preliminary estimated charge for in-process research and development costs of $8.2 million and $17.0 purchase accounting adjustment to record inventory at fair value.

MACHINING TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2005

1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statement of Machining Technology Group, LLC (“MTG”) and GT Management, LLC are combined for September 30, 2005. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combination.

Variable Interest Entities

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No 46 (FIN 46) (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. MTG leases its building and land from GT Management, LLC. MTG believes it is the primary beneficiary and that the lessor is a variable interest entity. Under FIN 46, the lessor is required to be consolidated in the MTG’s balance sheet as of January 1, 2005. The building and land will be recorded as an asset and the related debt will be recorded as a liability in the MTG’s balance sheet. The impact on MTG’s future statement of operations will be increased depreciation and interest expense, which will be partially offset by decreased rent expense. The members’ capital of GT Management, LLC is reflected on the MTG’s balance sheet as a minority interest. The cost of the buildings and associated land at January 1, 2005 was $678,556 and the related debt was $160,755. As of the balance sheet date of September 30, 2005, the cost of the buildings, land, and expansions was $1,652,226 and related debt was $124,682. Accumulated depreciation was $57,037 and $33,965 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively.

Nature of Operations

MTG, located in Arlington, Tennessee, was established in 1998. MTG manufactures surgical tools and implants used in the medical industry which are sold to customers located in the United States.

Term

This limited liability company shall dissolve and its affairs wound up in accordance with the Act and the MTG Agreement on December 31, 2025, unless the term shall be extended by Amendment to the MTG Agreement and the Articles of Organization.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

The MTG records revenue in compliance with SAB 104, which requires that the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b)  delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (c)  the price from the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (d)  collectibility is probable. MTG records revenue based on written arrangements or purchase orders with customers, and upon transfer of title of the product or rendering of the service.

23

Amounts billed for shipping and handling fees are classified as sales in the income statement. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in bank.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market (on first in, first out basis) and include the cost of materials, finished goods, and work in progress. Interim statements are valued at an average hourly rate of work-in-process hours based on historical rates at September 30, 2005.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which significantly increase value or extend useful lives are capitalized and replaced properties are retired. Depreciation is calculated principally by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Plant equipment and machinery are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 5 to 40 years, computers and software over an estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years, vehicles over an estimated useful life of 3 years, and office furniture and fixtures over an estimated useful life of 7 years.

Income Taxes

The accompanying financial statements do not include a provision or liability for federal income taxes because MTG is taxed as a partnership and the members are taxed individually on their share of company earnings.

Deferred tax liabilities were the result of a book and state tax depreciation difference and a change in certain accrued expenses. Deferred tax assets were the result of state tax credits. The availability of these credits upon transfer of company ownership is not known.

Tennessee Industrial Machinery Tax Credits and Jobs Tax Credits resulted in a reduction of state taxes in the amount of $29,934 for 2004 and $5,431 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Amounts reported on the financial statements are net of these credits. Below is a schedule of tax credits available for carryover.

24

Due to the current tax laws for limited liability companies in Tennessee there is some doubt as to whether MTG will incur the deferred excise tax liability of $103,196 recorded on the balance sheet. If not for the pending sale of MTG, this liability would not be recorded.

	Jobs Tax Credit			Industrial Machinery Credit
Beginning balance	$	60,017		$	—
2004 credit increases	26,000			17,188
2004 benefit	(15,284		)	(14,650		)
Carryover to 2005	$	70,733		$	2,538
1/1/05 thru 9/30/05 credit increases	—			8,860
Current period benefit	(5,431		)	—
	$	65,302		$	11,398

Of the $65,302 of Jobs Tax Credits, $39,302 will expire in December 2017 and $26,000 will expire in December 2019. Regarding the Industrial Machinery Tax Credit, $2,538 will expire in December 2019 and the balance of $8,860 will expire in December 2020.

Compensated absences

MTG has accrued a liability for compensated absences. Employees of MTG are entitled to paid vacation and paid sick days depending on length of service. MTG’s policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences at the end of each period.

Accounts Receivable

Based on historical collections, MTG does not believe an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of MTG’s financial instruments, comprised of cash, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable, approximates recorded value.

2.  Related party transactions

MTG leases its facilities from a related company, GT Management, LLC. There is no lease agreement but rents are paid monthly.

3.  Profit sharing plan

MTG has an established salary deferral plan (401k) and profit sharing plan. The profit sharing plan contribution is made at the discretion of management.

4.  Capital Leases

MTG leases certain machinery and equipment under agreements that are classified as capital leases. The cost of equipment under capital leases is included in the Balance Sheet as property, plant,

25

and equipment and was $178,500 at December 31, 2004 and $501,000 at September 30, 2005. Accumulated amortization of the leased equipment at December 31, 2004 was $98,787 and $386,758 at September 30, 2005.

The future minimum lease payments required under the capital leases as of September 30, 2005, are as follows:

For the twelve months ending September 30,	Amount
2006	$	65,265
2007	—
Thereafter	—
	$	65,265

The two remaining capital leases will be paid in full in August 2006, therefore the total minimum lease payments are all current obligations and any reduction to reduce net minimum lease payments to present value would not be material.

5.  Major customers and concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject MTG to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. A significant portion of MTG’s customer base is comprised of companies within the medical industry. MTG does not require collateral from its customers. Five major customers accounted for 36%, 22%, 15%, 11% and 10% of accounts receivable net of customer deposits for the year ended December 31, 2004. Two major customers accounted for 76% and 11% of accounts receivable, net of customer deposits, for the period ended September 30, 2005. The loss of any one of these customers would most likely have a negative impact on MTG’s results of operations.

MTG maintains its cash in bank in excess of the federally insured limits at times throughout the year.

6.  Inventories

Inventories of MTG consisted of the following at:

	December 30, 2004		September 30, 2005
Raw materials	$	67,615	$	103,593
Work in process	350,466		167,873
Finished goods	57,052		131,002
Total inventory	$	475,133	$	402,468

2009	272,428
2010	88,973
Thereafter	—
	$	1,777,550

There were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005.

27
