Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 12, 2006, we issued a press release providing a year end business update for 2005, as well as our outlook for 2006. A copy of our press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The press release furnished herewith contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends. Management believes that these non-GAAP operating performance measures are useful for investors because they enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and compare the Company’s financial and operating performance to the performance of the Company’s peers. Additionally, the Company’s credit agreement has provided for manufacturer’s profit in inventory adjustments required for purchase accounting, reorganization and acquisition-related integration costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt to be excluded in calculations used for determining whether the Company is in compliance with certain credit agreement covenants.

The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the press release.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
