Compass Diversified Trust
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
Note A Organization and Business Operations
Compass Diversified Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the Trust), was incorporated in Delaware
on November 18, 2005. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the Company), was also formed on November 18, 2005. Compass Group Management LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (CGM or the Manager), was the sole owner of 100% of the Interests of
the Company (as defined in the Companys operating agreement, dated as of November 18, 2005, which
were subsequently reclassified as the Allocation Interests pursuant to the Companys amended and
restated operating agreement, dated as of April 25, 2006 (as amended and restated, the LLC
Agreement))
(see Note K Related parties).
The Trust and the Company were formed to acquire and manage a group of small and middle-market
businesses headquartered in the United States. In accordance with the amended and restated trust
agreement, dated as of April 25, 2006 (the Trust Agreement), the Trust is sole owner of 100% of
the Trust Interests (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of the Company and, pursuant to the LLC
Agreement, the Company has, outstanding, the identical number of Trust Interests as the number of
outstanding shares of the Trust. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company is the operating entity with a board of directors and other corporate governance
responsibilities, similar to that of a Delaware corporation.
On May 16, 2006, the Company completed its initial public offering of 13,500,000 shares of the
Trust at an offering price of $15.00 per share (the IPO). Total net proceeds from the IPO, after
deducting the underwriters discounts, commissions and financial advisory fee, were approximately
$188.3 million. On May 16, 2006, the Company also completed the private placement of 5,733,333
shares to Compass Group Investments, Inc (CGI) for approximately $86.0 million and completed the
private placement of 266,667 shares to Pharos I LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Massoud, the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and owned by our management team, for approximately $4.0 million.
CGI also purchased 666,667 shares for $10.0 million through the IPO.
On May 16, 2006, the Company also entered into a Financing Agreement, (the Financing Agreement),
which is a $225.0 million secured credit facility with Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral and
administrative agent. Specifically, the Financing Agreement provides for a $60.0 million revolving
line of credit commitment, a $50.0 million term loan and a $115.0 million delayed draw term loan
commitment. Outstanding indebtedness under the Financing Agreement will mature on May 16, 2011
(see Note H Debt).
The Company used the net proceeds of the IPO, the separate private placements that closed in
conjunction with the IPO, and initial borrowings under the Companys Financing Agreement to make
loans to and acquire controlling interests in each of the following businesses (the initial
businesses), which controlling interests were acquired from certain subsidiaries of CGI and from
certain minority owners of each initial business. The Company paid an aggregate of approximately
$139.3 million for the purchase of the controlling interests in the following initial businesses
(see Note C):
| a controlling interest in CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc (CBS Personnel) was purchased for approximately $54.6 million, representing at the time of purchase approximately 97.6% of the outstanding stock of CBS Personnel on a primary basis and approximately 94.4% on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the exercise of vested and in the money options and vested non-contingent warrants; | ||
| a controlling interest in Crosman Acquisition Corporation (Crosman) was purchased for approximately $26.1 million representing approximately 75.4% of the outstanding stock of Crosman on a primary basis and 73.8% on a fully diluted basis; | ||
| a controlling interest in Compass AC Holdings, Inc.(Advanced Circuits or ACI) was purchased for approximately $35.4 million, representing approximately 70.2% of the outstanding stock of Advanced Circuits on a primary and fully diluted basis; and | ||
| a controlling interest in Silvue Technologies Group, Inc. (Silvue)was purchased for approximately $23.2 million, representing approximately 73.0% of the outstanding stock of Silvue on a primary and fully diluted basis. |
8
On July 31, 2006 the Company entered into a Stock and Note Purchase Agreement with CGI and Compass
Medical Mattresses Partners, LP (the Seller), a wholly- owned, indirect subsidiary of CGI, to
purchase approximately 47.3% of the outstanding capital stock, on a fully-diluted basis, of Anodyne
Medical Device, Inc. (Anodyne), which represents approximately 69.8% of the voting power of all
Anodyne stock. Pursuant to the same agreement, the Company also acquired from the Seller all of
the outstanding debt under Anodynes credit facility (the Original Loans). On the same date, the
Company entered into a Note Purchase and Sale Agreement with CGI and the Seller for the purchase
from the Seller of a secured promissory note (the Promissory Note) issued by a borrower
controlled by Anodynes chief executive officer,( see Note K Related Party Transactions).
The purchase price aggregated approximately $31.1 million for the Anodyne stock, the Original
Loans and the Promissory Note, which purchase price was paid by the Company in the form of $17.3
million in cash and 950,000 shares of newly issued shares in the Trust. The shares were valued at
$13.1 million or $13.77 per share, the average closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global
Market for the ten trading days ending on July 27, 2006. Transaction expenses were approximately
$700,000. The cash consideration was funded through available cash and a drawing on our existing
credit facility of approximately $18.0 million.
Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition of Anodyne, the Company amended Anodynes credit
facility and made available to Anodyne a $5.0 million secured revolving loan commitment and
secured term loans in the amount of $8.75 million The loans to Anodyne are secured by security
interests in all of the assets of Anodyne and the pledge of the equity interests in Anodynes
subsidiaries.
Note B Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for
the interim period. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2006 represents the results of operations of the initial businesses from May 16, 2006 to September
30, 2006 and the results of operations of Anodyne from August 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006, and
therefore are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year .
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and the Company, as well as
the initial businesses as of May 16, 2006, and Anodyne as of August 1, 2006, all of which are
controlled by the Company. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The operations of the initial businesses are included in the Companys consolidated
results from May 16, 2006, and Anodyne from August 1, 2006, the dates of acquisition.
The acquisition of businesses that the Company owns or controls more than a 50% share of the voting
interest are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The amount assigned to the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values as
of the date of acquisition, with the remainder, if any, recorded as goodwill.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
generally 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes
revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered, the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collection is
reasonably assured. Shipping and handling costs are charged to operations when incurred and are
classified as a component of cost of sales.
9
Crosman
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer, net of sales returns and
allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on
past experience. One customer accounted for approximately 35% of Crosmans sales from May 16, 2006
to September 30, 2006 and represents approximately 43% of its accounts receivable balance as of
September 30, 2006.
Cooperative charges and sales rebates to distributors are recorded at the time of shipment based
upon historical experience. Changes in such allowances may be required if future rebates differ
from historical experience. Cooperative charges recorded as a reduction of net sales were $0.2
million for the period ended September 30, 2006.
CBS Personnel
Revenue from temporary staffing services is recognized at the time services are provided by the
Company employees and is reported based on gross billings to customers. Revenue from employee
leasing services is recorded at the time services are provided and is reported on a net basis
(gross billings to clients less worksite employee salaries and payroll -related taxes). Revenue
is recognized for permanent placement services at the employee start date. Permanent placement
services are fully guaranteed to the satisfaction of the customer for a specified period.
Advanced Circuits
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer, net of sales returns and
allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on
past experience. Revenue is typically recorded at F.O.B. shipping point but for sales of certain
custom products, revenue is recognized upon completion and customer acceptance.
Silvue
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer, net of sales returns and
allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on
past experience. For certain UK customers, revenue is recognized after receipt by the customer as
the terms are F.O.B. destination.
Anodyne
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer, net of sales returns and
allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on
past experience. Revenue is typically recorded at F.O.B.
shipping point but for sales of certain custom products, revenue is recognized upon completion and
customer acceptance.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories consist of manufactured goods and purchased goods acquired for resale. Manufactured
inventory costs include raw materials, direct and indirect labor and factory overhead. Inventories
are stated at lower of cost or market and are determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, is recorded at cost. The cost of major additions or betterments is
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the
related assets are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement,
whichever is shorter.
The useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and Equipment |
3 to 5 years | |||
Office Furniture and Equipment |
3 to 5 years | |||
Buildings and Building Improvements |
2 to 15 years | |||
Vehicles |
2 to 3 years | |||
Leasehold Improvements |
Shorter of useful life or lease term |
Property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset.
If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to the estimated discounted present value of the expected future cash flows from using the asset.
10
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill represents the difference between purchase cost and the fair value of
net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and impairments, if any, are charged directly to earnings. Assumptions used in the testing include, but are not limited to the use of an appropriate discount rate and estimated future cash flows. In estimating cash flows current market information as well as historical
factors are considered. Intangible assets, which include customer relations, trade names, technology and licensing agreements that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable.
Deferred charges
Deferred charges representing the costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are
amortized over the life of the related debt instrument.
Insurance reserves
Insurance reserves represent estimated costs of self insurance associated with product liability
and workers compensation at the Companys subsidiary Crosman and estimated costs of self insurance
for workers compensation at the Companys subsidiary CBS Personnel. Stop loss coverage is
maintained for individual and aggregate product liability claims. The reserves for workers
compensation are based upon actuarial assumptions of individual case estimates and incurred but not
reported (IBNR) losses. At September 30, 2006, the current portion of these reserves are
included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the non-current portion is
included as a component of other non-current liabilities.
Supplemental Put
As distinct from its role as Manager of the Company, CGM is also the owner of 100% of the
allocation interests in the Company. Concurrent with the IPO, CGM and the Company entered into a
Supplemental Put Agreement, which may require the Company to acquire these allocation interests
upon termination of the Management Services Agreement.. Essentially, the put rights granted to CGM
require the Company to acquire CGMs allocation interests in the Company at a price based on a
percentage of the increase in fair value in the Companys businesses over its basis in those
businesses, Each fiscal quarter the Company estimates the fair value of its businesses for the
purpose of determining its potential liability associated with the Supplemental Put Agreement.
Any change in the potential liability is accrued currently as a non-cash adjustment to earnings.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized approximately $8.0 million in
non-cash expense related to the Supplemental Put Agreement.
Warranty reserves
The Companys subsidiary, Crosman, generally warrants its air-gun product for one year and its soft
air products for 90 days. The warranty accrual is based on the prior nine months historical
warranty activity and is included in accrued expenses. The activity in the product warranty reserve
from May 16, 2006 (inception) to September 30, 2006 is as follows: (in thousands)
Balance at May 16, 2006 |

Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are calculated under the liability method. Deferred income taxes are
provided for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
and income tax purposes at the enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34%, principally due to state taxes and
foreign tax credits.

Earnings per share
Basic and diluted income per share is computed on a weighted average basis from the period January
1, 2006 through September 30, 2006. The weighted average number of trust shares outstanding was
computed based on 1,000 shares of allocation interests outstanding for the period January 1, 2006
through September 30, 2006, 19,500,000 trust shares, for the period from May 16, 2006 through
September 30, 2006 and 950,000 additional trust shares (issued in connection with the acquisition
of Anodyne) for the period from August 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006.
Advertising costs
All advertising costs are expensed in operations as incurred. Advertising costs were $1.5 million
and $2.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006.
Research and development
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred. Research and
development expense was approximately $0.3 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 which includes approximately $1.1 million of in-process research and
development costs charged to expense in connection with the purchase asset allocation of the
Companys subsidiary, Silvue on May 16, 2006.
Recent accounting pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. (FIN) 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is effective January 1, 2007. The purpose of FIN
48 is to clarify and set forth consistent rules for accounting for uncertain tax positions in
accordance with FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The cumulative effect of applying the
provisions of this interpretation is required to be reported separately as an adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company is in the process of
reviewing and evaluating FIN 48, and therefore the ultimate impact of its adoption is not yet
known.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 eliminates the diversity of practice
surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. It establishes an
approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of
the misstatements on each of the companys financial statements and the related financial statement
disclosures. We do not expect SAB 108 to have a material impact on our financial condition or
results of operations. SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for their first
fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This standard clarifies
the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. We have not yet determined the
impact that the implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations or financial
condition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ( SFAS No. 158 ). This standard requires employers to
recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset
or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status
in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income.
Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date
of its year-end statement of financial position. We are currently evaluating the impact that the
implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have on our financial statements. The new reporting
requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2006. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2008. We have determined that this statement is not applicable to
the Company.

Note C Acquisition of businesses
The Company used the proceeds from its initial public offering and private placements to acquire
controlling interests in its initial businesses for cash from CGI and minority interest holders.
On August 1, 2006, the Company purchased a controlling interest in Anodyne, which manufactures and
distributes medical mattresses.
The acquisition of majority interests in the Companys businesses have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on estimates of
the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to the
acquired assets were developed from information supplied by management and valuations supplied by
independent appraisal experts.
Allocation of Purchase Price- initial businesses
The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The results of
operations of each of the initial businesses and Anodyne are included in the condensed consolidated
financial statements since May 16, 2006 and August 1, 2006, respectively . In accordance with SFAS
No. 141 a deferred tax liability was recorded to reflect the net increase in the financial
accounting basis of the assets acquired over their related income tax basis (see Note I ). The
initial purchase price allocation may be adjusted within one year of the purchase date for changes
in estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
As part of the acquisition of the initial businesses the Company allocated approximately $100.7
million of the purchase price to customer relations in accordance with EITF 02-17. Recognition of
Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination. The Company will
amortize the amount allocated to customer relationships over a period
ranging from 9 to 16 years. In
addition the Company allocated approximately $34.4 million of the purchase price to trade names and
technology. Trade names totaling approximately $26.9 million of the allocation have indefinite
lives.
The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were accounted for as a
business combination relating to the acquisitions of the initial businesses are summarized below.

businesses acquired on May 16, 2006 and Anodyne acquired on August 1, 2006. The Companys
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They
are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing
strategies.
A description of each of the reportable segments and the types of products and services from which
each segment derives its revenues is as follows:
| CBS Personnel, a human resources outsourcing firm, is a provider of temporary staffing services in the United States. CBS Personnel serves over 3,500 corporate and small business clients.

accounting adjustments associated with its purchase of its businesses in assessing the performance
of individual reporting units. These adjustments are included as part of the reconciliations of
segment amounts to consolidated amounts. The operations of each of the businesses are included in
consolidated operating results as of their date of acquisition. There are no inter-segment
transactions.

Debt
On May 16, 2006, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2006 (the
Financing Agreement), which is a $225.0 million secured credit facility with Ableco Finance LLC,
as collateral and administrative agent. Specifically, the Financing Agreement provides for a $60.0
million revolving line of credit commitment, a $50.0 million term loan and a $115.0 million delayed
draw term loan commitment. Outstanding indebtedness under the Financing Agreement will mature on
May 16, 2011. The Company intends to use the Financing Agreement to provide for its working
capital needs, the working capital needs of its initial businesses and to pursue acquisitions of
additional businesses.
Indebtedness under the Financing Agreement bears interest at rates equal to the London Interbank
Offer Rate, or LIBOR, plus a spread ranging from 4.25% to 5.50%, depending on the Companys
leverage ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement) at the time of borrowing. The interest rate
will increase by 2.0% above the highest applicable rate during any period when an event of default
under the Financing Agreement has occurred and is continuing. In addition, the Company pays
commitment fees ranging between 1.0% and 1.5% per annum on the unused portion of the $60.0 million
revolving line of credit and a rate ranging between 1.0% and 2.0% on the unused portion of the
$115.0 million delayed draw term loan, which rate will adjust downwards as such loans are drawn.
The Company will pay letter of credit override fees at a rate ranging between 1.0% and 1.5% of the
aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding at any business, which rate will adjust downward
based on the amount drawn on the revolving line of credit. Letters of Credit outstanding at
September 30, 2006 total approximately $20.0 million. These fees are reflected as a component of
interest expense in the Companys Statement of Operations.
On May 16, 2006, the Company borrowed the full amount available under the $50 million term
loan in connection with its acquisition of controlling interests in, and making loans to, the four
initial businesses. The Company may borrow under the delayed draw term loan at any time, subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions, from May 16, 2006 until May 16, 2009. As of September
30, 2006 the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under the delayed draw term loan which it
borrowed in connection with the Anodyne acquisition.
18
The Financing Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all the assets of the Company,
including, but not limited to, the capital stock of the initial businesses, loan receivables from
the Companys businesses, cash and other assets. The
Financing Agreement also requires that the loan agreements between the Company and its businesses
be secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the businesses subject to the letters of
credit issued by third party lenders on behalf of such initial businesses.
The Company is subject to certain affirmative and restrictive covenants arising under the
Financing Agreement, among other customary covenants that require the Company:
| to maintain a minimum level of cash flow and coverage of fixed charges; | ||
| to leverage new businesses it acquires to a minimum specified level at the time of acquisition; and | ||
| to keep the total debt to cash flow at or below a ratio of 3 to 1. |
In addition, the Company is only permitted to make acquisitions that satisfy certain specified
minimum criteria. A breach of any of these covenants will be an event of default under the
Financing Agreement, among other customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default, the lender will have the right to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness outstanding
under the Financing Agreement; the Company may be prohibited from making any distributions to its
shareholders and will be subject to additional restrictions, prohibitions and limitations. As of
September 30, 2006 the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants included in the
Financing Agreement.
The Company has the ability to voluntarily prepay up to approximately $50 million of the Financing
Agreement without penalty provided that the Company does not elect to terminate the commitments
under the Financing Agreement in connection with such prepayment. If any amount in excess of $50
million is voluntarily prepaid or if the Company elects to terminate the commitments under the
Financing Agreement, the Company is required to pay a premium ranging from 4% if the prepayment
occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the Financing Agreement, which
premium decreases to 2% after the first anniversary and on or prior to the second anniversary and
1% after the second anniversary and on or prior to third anniversary thereof. After the third
anniversary of the closing of the Financing Agreement, there will be no prepayment penalty.
The Company incurred approximately $6.4 million in fees and costs for the arranging of the
Financing Agreement, which were paid to Ableco Finance LLC, the third party that assisted us in
obtaining the financial agreement and for various other costs. These costs were capitalized and
are being amortized over the life of the loans.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $50.0 million in term loans outstanding; $10.0 million in
delayed draw term loans outstanding and $9.5 million in revolving credit commitments outstanding
under the Financing Agreement.
On June 6, 2006 Silvue entered into an unsecured working capital credit facility for its operations
in Japan with The Chiba Bank Ltd. This credit facility provides Silvue with the ability to borrow
up to approximately $3.5 million (400,000,000 yen) for working capital needs. The facility expires
in May 2007. Outstanding obligations under this facility bear interest at the rate of 1.875% per
annum. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $2.2 million outstanding under this
facility.

At September 30, 2006, the Company recognized approximately $48.9 million in deferred tax
liabilities. A significant portion of the balance in deferred tax liabilities reflects temporary
differences in the basis of property and equipment and intangible assets related to the Companys
purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the acquisition of the initial businesses.
20
For
financial accounting purposes the Company recognized a significant increase in the fair values of
the intangible assets and property and equipment. For income tax purposes the existing tax basis
of the intangible assets and
property and equipment is utilized. In order to reflect the increase in the financial accounting
basis over the existing tax basis, a deferred tax liability was recorded. This liability will
decrease in future periods as these temporary differences reverse.
A valuation allowance of approximately $1.9 million has been provided at September 30, 2006. A
valuation allowance is provided whenever it is more likely than not that some or all of deferred
assets recorded may not be realized. At September 30, 2006 the Company believes that a portion of
deferred tax assets recorded will not be realized in the future.
Note J Stockholders equity
The Trust is authorized to issue 500,000,000 trust shares and the Company is authorized to issue a
corresponding number of LLC interests. The Company will at all times have the identical number of
LLC interests outstanding as trust shares. Each trust share represents an undivided beneficial
interest in the Trust, and each trust share is entitled to one vote per share on any matter with
respect to which members of the Company are entitled to vote.
On July 18, 2006 the Trust paid a distribution of $0.1327 per share to all holders of record on
July 11, 2006. This distribution represented a pro-rata distribution for the quarter ended June
30, 2006. On October 19, 2006 the Company paid a distribution of $0.2625 per share to all holders
of record as of October 13, 2006 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006.
Note K Related party transactions
The Company has entered into the following agreements with Compass Group Management LLC:
| Management Services Agreement | ||
| LLC Agreement | ||
| Supplemental Put Agreement |
Management Services Agreement The Company entered into a Management Services Agreement
(Agreement) with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The Agreement provides for CGM to perform services
for the Company in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Companys
adjusted net assets. The Company amended the Agreement on November 8, 2006, to clarify that
adjusted net assets are not reduced by non-cash charges associated with the Supplemental Put
Agreement, which amendment was unanimously approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of
Directors. The management fee is required to be paid prior to the payment of any distributions to
shareholders. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 the Company incurred
the following management fees to CGM, by entity : (in thousands)

LLC Agreement As distinguished from its provision of providing management services to the
Company, pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, CGM is also an equity holder of the
Companys allocation interests. As such, CGM has the right to distributions pursuant to a profit
allocation formula upon the occurrence of certain events. CGM paid $100,000
for the aforementioned allocation interests and has the right to cause the Company to purchase the
allocation interests it owns. (see Supplemental Put Agreement below).
Supplemental Put Agreement As distinct from its role as Manager of the Company, CGM is
also the owner of 100% of the allocation interests in the Company. Concurrent with the IPO, CGM
and the Company entered into a Supplemental Put Agreement, which may require the Company to acquire
these allocation interests upon termination of the Management Services Agreement. Essentially, the
put rights granted to CGM require the Company to acquire CGMs allocation interests in the Company
at a price based on a percentage of the increase in fair value in the Companys businesses over its
basis in those businesses. Each fiscal quarter the Company estimates the fair value of its
businesses for the purpose of determining its potential liability associated with the Supplemental
Put Agreement. Any change in the potential liability is accrued currently as a non-cash
adjustment to earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized
approximately $8.0 million in non-cash expense related to the Supplemental Put Agreement.
Anodyne acquisition
On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired from CGI and its wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Compass
Medical Mattress Partners, LP (the Seller) approximately 47.3% of the outstanding capital stock,
on a fully-diluted basis, of Anodyne, representing approximately 69.8% of the voting power of all
Anodyne stock. Pursuant to the same agreement, the Company also acquired from the Seller all of
the Original Loans. On the same date, the Company entered into a Note Purchase and Sale Agreement
with CGI and the Seller for the purchase from the Seller of a Promissory Note (Note) issued by a
borrower controlled by Anodynes chief executive officer. The Note is secured by shares of Anodyne
stock and guaranteed by Anodynes chief executive officer. The Note accrues interest at the rate
of 13% per annum and is added to the Notes principal balance. The balance of the Note plus
accrued interest totaled approximately $5.4 million at September 30, 2006. The Note matures in
August, 2008.
CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the Anodyne transaction for which it received transaction
services fees and expense payments totaling approximately $300,000.
Note L Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims
and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined,
the Company does not believe that their outcome will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note M Subsequent events
On October 5, 2006 Anodyne acquired Anatomic Concepts, Inc. (Anatomic). The cash purchase price
was approximately $9.2 million. The Company borrowed $4.0 million under its revolving credit
facility and $5.0 million in delayed draw term loans to finance this acquisition. The acquisition
will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Anatomic designs, manufactures and
distributes medical support surfaces and medical patient positioning devices, including mattresses,
mattress overlays and replacements, operating room patient positioning devices, operating table
pads and related accessories. Anatomic is located in Corona, California.

Overview
Compass Diversified Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the Trust), was incorporated in Delaware
on November 18, 2005. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the Company, Compass, we or us), was also formed on November 18, 2005. Compass Group
Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Manager), was the sole owner of 100% of
the Interests of the Company (as defined in the Companys operating agreement, dated as of November
18, 2005, which were subsequently reclassified as the Allocation Interests pursuant to the
Companys amended and restated operating agreement, dated as of April 25, 2006 (as amended and
restated, the LLC Agreement)).
The Trust and the Company were formed to acquire and manage a group of small and middle-market
businesses headquartered in the United States. In accordance with the amended and restated trust
agreement, dated as of April 25, 2006 (the Trust Agreement), the Trust is sole owner of 100% of
the Trust Interests (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of the Company and, pursuant to the LLC
Agreement, the Company has outstanding, the identical number of Trust Interests as the number of
outstanding shares of the Trust. The Company is the operating entity with a board of directors and
other corporate governance responsibilities, similar to that of a Delaware corporation.
Initial public offering and acquisition of initial businesses
On May 16, 2006, we completed our initial public offering of 13,500,000 shares of the Trust at an
offering price of $15.00 per share (the IPO). Total net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting
the underwriters discounts, commissions and financial advisory fee, were approximately $188.3
million. On May 16, 2006, we also completed the private placement of 5,733,333 shares to CGI for
approximately $86.0 million and completed the private placement of 266,667 shares to Pharos I LLC,
an entity controlled by Mr. Massoud, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and owned by our
management team, for approximately $4.0 million. CGI also purchased 666,667 shares for $10.0
million through the IPO.
On May 16, 2006, we also entered into a Financing Agreement, (the Financing Agreement), which is
a $225.0 million secured credit facility with Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral and administrative
agent. Specifically, the Financing Agreement provides for a $60.0 million revolving line of credit
commitment, a $50.0 million term loan and a $115.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment.
Outstanding indebtedness under the Financing Agreement will mature on
May 16, 2011.
We used the net proceeds of the IPO, the separate private placements that closed in conjunction
with the IPO, and initial borrowings under our Financing Agreement to make loans to and acquire
controlling interest in each of the following businesses (the initial businesses), which
controlling interests were acquired from certain subsidiaries of CGI and from certain minority
owners of each initial business. We paid an aggregate of approximately $139.3 million for the
purchase of the controlling interests in the following initial businesses:
| a controlling interest in CBS Personnel was purchased for approximately $54.6 million, representing at the time of purchase approximately 97.6% of the outstanding stock of CBS Personnel on a primary basis and approximately 94.4% on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the exercise of vested and in the money options and vested non-contingent warrants; |
23
| a controlling interest in Crosman was purchased for approximately $26.1 million representing approximately 75.4% of the outstanding stock of Crosman on a primary basis and 73.8% on a fully diluted basis; | ||
| a controlling interest in Advanced Circuits was purchased for approximately $35.4 million, representing approximately 70.2% of the outstanding stock of Advanced Circuits on a primary and fully diluted basis; and | ||
| a controlling interest in Silvue was purchased for approximately $23.2 million, representing approximately 73.0% of the outstanding stock of Silvue on a primary and fully diluted basis. |
At the close of the acquisitions of the initial businesses, the Companys board of directors
engaged the Manager to externally manage the day-to-day operations and affairs of the Company,
oversee the management and operations of the initial businesses and to perform those services
customarily performed by executive officers of a public company.
We are dependent upon the earnings of and cash distributions from the businesses that we own to
meet our corporate overhead and management fee expenses and to pay distributions. These earnings,
net of any minority interests in these businesses, will be available:
| First, to meet capital expenditure requirements, management fees and corporate overhead expenses | ||
| Second, to fund distributions from the businesses to the Company; and | ||
| Third, to be distributed by the Trust to shareholders. |
Recent events
On August 1, 2006, we acquired approximately 47.3% of the outstanding capital stock, on a
fully-diluted basis, of Anodyne Medical Device, Inc. (Anodyne), which represents approximately
69.8% of the voting power of all Anodyne stock
from CGI and Compass Medical Mattresses Partners, LP (the Seller), a wholly- owned, indirect
subsidiary of CGI.
The purchase price aggregated $31.1 million for the Anodyne stock, the Original Loans and the
Promissory Note, which purchase price was paid by the Company in the form of $17.3 million in cash
and 950,000 shares of newly issued shares in the Trust. The shares were valued at $13.1 million or
$13.77 per share, the average closing price of the shares on the NASDAQ Global Market for the ten
trading days ending on July 27, 2006. Transaction expenses were approximately $700,000. The cash
consideration was funded through available cash and a drawing on our existing credit facility of
approximately $18.0 million.
On October 5, 2006 Anodyne acquired Anatomic Concepts, Inc. (Anatomic). The cash purchase price
was approximately $9.2 million. Anatomic designs, manufactures and distributes medical support
surfaces and medical patient positioning devices, including mattresses, mattress overlays and
replacements, operating room patient positioning devices, operating table pads and related
accessories. Anatomic is located in Corona, California.

Results of Operations
We acquired our initial businesses on May 16, 2006, and, therefore cannot provide a comparison of
our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2006 with any prior period. In the following results of operations, we provide (i) our
consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006,
which includes the results of operations of our initial businesses (segments) as of May 16, 2006
and the results of operations of Anodyne from August 1, 2006, and (ii) comparative, historical,
unconsolidated results of operations for each of the initial businesses, on a stand-alone basis,
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Anodyne was formed in 2005,
began business operations in February 2006 and was acquired by us on August 1, 2006. As a result,
comparative results of operations are not available and results of operations from the date of
acquisition, although included in our consolidated results, are not meaningful.

Net sales
We do not generate any revenues apart from those generated by the businesses we own, control and
operate. The Trust and the Company may generate interest income on the investment of available
funds, but expect such earnings to be minimal. Our investment in our initial businesses is
typically in the form of loans from the Company to such businesses, as well as equity interests in
those companies. Cash flow coming to the Trust and the Company is the result of interest payments
on those loans, amortization of those loans and, in the future, potentially, dividends on the
Companys equity ownership. However, on a consolidated basis these items will be eliminated.
Expenses
The Trusts and the Companys operating expenses primarily consist of the salary and related costs
and expenses of the Companys Chief Financial Officer and his staff, the cost of professional
services and other expenses including the directors and audit fees, directors and officers
insurance premiums and tax preparation services.
Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5%
(2.0% annualized) of our adjusted net assets, which is defined in the Management Services Agreement
(see Related Party Transactions). The Company accrues for the management fee on a quarterly basis.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 we incurred approximately $1.9
million and $2.8 million, respectively, in expense for these fees.
In addition, concurrent with the
Initial Public Offering, we entered into a Supplemental Put
Agreement with our Manager pursuant to which our Manager shall have the right to cause the Company to purchase the
allocation interests then owned by them upon termination of the Management Services Agreement The
Company accrued approximately $8.0 million in expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2006
in connection with this agreement. This non-cash expense primarily represents that portion of the
estimated increase in the value of our businesses over our basis in
those businesses that our Manager would
be entitled to if the Management Services Agreement were terminated, (see Related Party
Transactions).
25
Results of Operations for the Acquired initial businesses
We acquired our initial businesses on May 16, 2006. As a result, our consolidated operating results
only include the results of operations for the 138 day period between May 16, 2006 and September
30, 2006. The following reflects a comparison of the historical results of operations for each of
our initial businesses for the entire three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, which
we believe is a more meaningful comparison in explaining the historical financial performance of
the businesses. These results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

Three-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased approximately $1.9 million
over the corresponding three months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues from light industrial
staffing increased $7.0 million. This increase was offset by a $6.8 million decrease in clerical
staffing and a $1.7 million decrease in revenues attributable to payroll, technical and medical
services. The remaining decrease in revenues is attributable to the remaining niche segments
provided by CBS Personnel. These decreases in revenues include a $2.2 million decrease in revenues
attributable to one specific customer that CBS Personnel stopped providing services for in the
fourth quarter of 2005, due to the customers credit issues.
Cost of revenues
Direct cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased approximately
$0.7 million. Gross profit totaled approximately 18.5% and 19.1% of revenues for the three month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to the decrease in
revenues for the same period. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of revenues is
attributable to a shift in product mix to larger accounts and light industrial accounts.
26
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
decreased approximately $1.2 million. This decrease is largely the result of a decrease in bad
debt expense of $0.9 million and a decrease in non-recurring restructuring costs of $0.2 million.
Bad debt expense was lower in 2006 as a result of increased efforts by management in the collection
process and the resulting improvement in days sales receivable outstanding.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense decreased approximately $0.2 million in the three months ended September
30, 2006 as a result of CBS Personnels recapitalization in connection with our purchase of a
controlling interest in CBS Personnel. As part of our recapitalization, CBS Personnel repaid their
original long term debt which required the write off the balance of deferred costs which resulted
in lower overall amortization costs associated with that original debt.
Income from operations
Income from operations increased approximately $0.2 million to $5.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 based on the
factors described above.
Nine-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.1 million
over the corresponding nine months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues from light industrial
staffing increased $13.1 million and revenues from technical staffing increased $1.4 million.
These increases were offset in part by a $7.8 million decrease in revenues from clerical services,
and a $4.5 million decrease in revenues from medical and payroll services. The remaining decrease
in revenues is attributable to the remaining niche segments provided by CBS Personnel. These
decreases in revenues include approximately $7.1 million attributable to one specific customer that
CBS Personnel stopped providing services for in the fourth quarter of 2005, due to the customers
credit issues.
Cost of revenues
Direct cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately
$2.2 million principally due to those costs associated with the increase in revenues and increases
in unemployment taxes totaling approximately $0.9 million. Gross profit totaled approximately 18.4%
and 18.7% as a percentage of revenues in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of revenues is primarily
attributable to a shift in the service mix, in that a greater percentage of revenues are the result
of providing service to larger clients and light industrial accounts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
decreased approximately $3.2 million. This decrease is principally the result of a decrease in bad
debt expense of $2.2 million and a decrease in non-recurring restructuring costs of $0.5 million.
Bad debt expense was lower in 2006 as a result of increased efforts by management in the collection
process and the resulting improvement in days sales receivable outstanding.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense decreased approximately $0.6 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2006 as a result of CBS Personnels recapitalization in connection with our purchase of a
controlling interest in CBS Personnel. As part of our recapitalization, CBS Personnel repaid their
original long term debt which required CBS to write off the balance of deferred costs, which, in
turn, resulted in lower overall amortization costs associated with that original debt.
Income from operations
Income from operations increased approximately $2.6 million to $13.8 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $11.2 million for nine months ended September 30, 2005
principally as a result of the factors described above.

Crosman
Overview
Crosman is a manufacturer and distributor of recreational airgun products, soft-air
products, and related accessories. Crosmans products are sold through approximately 500 retailers
in over 6,000 retail locations in the United States and 44 other countries. The United States
market, however, continues to be Crosmans primary market, accounting for approximately 87% of net
sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.

Three-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $4.3 million
over the corresponding three month period ended September 30, 2005. Revenues attributable to sales
of its soft air products increased $1.5 million and revenues attributable its air rifles
increased approximately $2.6 million. The increase in sales of its soft air products was the
result of the overall growth in the soft air market and the ability of Crosman to leverage its
position in this growing market. The increased sales of its air rifles products was due to (i) new
product introductions that drove sales growth and (ii) more adequate inventory levels available to
its customers during specific peak selling periods during the quarter.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $2.4
million. This increase was due almost entirely to the corresponding increase in sales, offset in
part by overall increased gross profit margins (27.5% at September 30, 2006 vs. 24.3% at September
30, 2005) resulting from reduced returns and positive product mix changes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.4 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This increase
is due primarily to additional insurance, commissions and other associated costs related to the
increase in sales.
Operating income
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $3.8 million
compared to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase
of approximately $1.4 million. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues and other
factors as described above.
28
Nine-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $21.3 million
over the corresponding nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Revenues attributable to sales
of its soft air products increased $12.5 million and revenues attributable its air rifles
increased approximately $7.5 million. The increased sales of its soft air products was the result
of the overall growth in the soft air market and the ability of Crosman to leverage its position in
this growing market. The increased sales of its air rifles was due to (i) new product
introductions that drove sales growth and (ii) more adequate inventory levels available to its
customers during specific peak selling periods during the period.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $11.5
million. This increase is due almost entirely to the corresponding increase in sales offset in
part by overall increased gross profit margins (30.1% at September 30, 2006 vs. 23.7% at September
30, 2005) resulting from Crosmans ability to reduce certain
product discounting during the period and its operating leverage.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.8 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This increase
is due to additional performance bonus expense of approximately $1.9 million recorded in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and additional selling and marketing costs totaling $0.5 million
related to the significant increase in sales, offset in part by a $0.6 million decrease in legal
costs in 2006.
Operating income
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30 2006 was approximately $12.3 million
compared to approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of
approximately $8.0 million. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues and other
factors as described above.
Advanced Circuits
Overview
Advanced Circuits is a provider of prototype, quick-turn and volume production printed circuit
boards, or PCBs, to customers throughout the United States. Collectively, prototype and quick-turn
PCBs represent over 60% of Advanced Circuits gross revenues. Advanced Circuits manufactures custom
PCBs in as little as 24 hours, while maintaining an approximately 98% error-free production rate
and real-time customer service and product tracking 24 hours per day.
Advanced Circuits does not depend or expect to depend upon any customer or group of customers,
with no single customer accounting for more than 2% of its net sales in the three or nine-months
ended September 30, 2006.
In September 2005, a subsidiary of CGI acquired Advanced Circuits, Inc. along with R.J.C.S.
LLC, an entity previously established solely to hold Advanced Circuits real estate and equipment
assets. Immediately following the acquisitions, R.J.C.S. LLC was merged into Advanced Circuits,
Inc. The results for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005
reflect the combined results of the two businesses. The following section discusses the historical
financial performance of the combined entities.

Three-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.8 million
over the corresponding three month period ended September 30, 2005. Increased sales from
quick-turn production PCBs and Prototype PCBs are principally responsible for this increase.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.9
million. This increase principally is due to the corresponding increase in sales offset in part by
efficiencies derived from the increased capacity utilization of Advanced Circuits Aurora, Colorado
facility. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased during the three months ended September
30, 2006 (58.9% at September 30, 2006 vs. 60.3% at September 30, 2005) largely as a result of the
increased raw material costs of purchasing laminates.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.6 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This increase
is principally due to charges of approximately $0.5 million related to accrued loan forgiveness.
The loan forgiveness expense is related to a bonus plan whereby the loans issued in connection with
the purchase of Advanced Circuits stock by its management may be forgiven upon the achievement of
certain financial performance targets.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense increased approximately $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30,
2006 as a result of amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in connection with the
September 2005 acquisition.
Operating income
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $3.8 million
compared to approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of
approximately $0.4 million. This decrease primarily was due to the non-cash loan forgiveness and
amortization expense increases in 2006 that were not factors in the third quarter of 2005, offset
in part by the growth in Advanced Circuits revenues and corresponding increases in gross profit, as
described above.
30
Nine-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $5.1 million
over the corresponding nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Increased sales from quick-turn
production PCBs and Prototype PCBs are principally responsible for this increase.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $1.4
million. This increase principally is due to the corresponding increase in sales offset in part by
efficiencies realized from the increased capacity utilization of Advanced Circuits Aurora, Colorado
facility. Gross profit as a percentage of sales also increased during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 (59.3% at September 30, 2006 vs. 57.1% at September 30, 2005) as a result of
utilizing this increased capacity and the favorable product mix associated with the increase in
sales of quick-turn and prototype PCBs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.2 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This increase
is principally due to charges of approximately $2.1 million related to accrued loan forgiveness.
The loan forgiveness expense is related to a bonus plan whereby the loans issued in connection with
the purchase of Advanced Circuits stock by its management may be forgiven upon the achievement of
certain financial performance targets.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense increased approximately $2.1 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2006, as a result of intangible assets acquired in connection with the September 2005 change in
ownership.
Operating income
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $10.8 million
compared to approximately $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease
of approximately $1.1 million. This decrease primarily was the result if the accrued loan
forgiveness charges and amortization costs incurred in 2006 which were not factors in 2005 and
other factors as described above. We will continue to incur these non-cash charges in the future.
Silvue
Overview

Three-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.1 million
over the corresponding three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase principally was due to
increased coating sales to existing customers.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased approximately $0.3
million. Gross profit was approximately 77.9% and 72.6% of revenue in each of the three month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This increase in gross profit percentage
principally was due to sales of higher margin products, specifically in Asia.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This decrease
primarily was due to a reduction in personnel costs.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs totaled approximately $0.3 million and 0.2 million in the three
month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense increased approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended September
30, 2006 as compared to the prior three month period in 2005 principally due to the increase in
amortizable intangible assets resulting from the Nippon ARC acquisition.
Operating income
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $1.7 million
compared to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase
of approximately $0.4 million. This increase was due primarily to increased revenues and other
factors as described above.
32
Nine-months ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005
Net sales
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $2.9 million
over the corresponding nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase principally is due to
approximately $1.8 million in sales associated with Nippon ARC which Silvue acquired on April 1,
2005. In addition, increase in sales of approximately $1.0 millions in its core ophthalmic
business and aluminum coatings products also contributed to the increase in sales during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased approximately $0.8
million. This increase is almost entirely the result of direct costs associated with the increase
in net sales primarily related to Nippon ARC. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was
approximately 75.9% and 76.7 % in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. This decrease in gross profit percentage is due to a greater percentage of overall
sales being derived from Asia where margins are typically lower than those in the United States or
Europe. We expect that gross profit as a percent of revenues will approximate the 2006 rate, going
forward.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.8 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This increase
primarily was due to increased costs of approximately $0.3 million related to the inclusion of
Nippon ARC for the full nine months in 2006 and increased accounting and professional fees of
approximately $0.5 million associated with our purchase of Silvue.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs increased approximately $0.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily the result of
increased costs associated with the inclusion of Nippon ARC for a full nine month period in 2006.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense increased approximately $0.2 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2006. This increase is primarily the result of increased costs associated with the inclusion
of Nippon ARC for a full nine month period in 2006.
Operating income
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $4.0 million
compared to approximately $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of
approximately $1.0 million. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues, the inclusion of
Nippon ARC for a full nine month period in 2006 and other factors as described above.
33
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On May 16, 2006 we completed an initial public offering and concurrent private placement of shares
of trust stock, each representing a beneficial interest in the Company. The net proceeds from
these offerings after underwriters commissions, discounts and public offering costs totaled
approximately $269.9 million. In conjunction with this offering, we entered into a third party
credit facility for an aggregate borrowing amount of $225 million as follows: (i) $60 million
revolving line of credit commitment; (ii) $50 million term loan; and (iii) $115 million delayed
term loan (Financing Agreement).
We used the net proceeds from our initial public offering and private placement together with the
$50 million term loan to acquire controlling interests in, and to provide loans to, our initial
businesses on May 16, 2006. As a consequence, our consolidated cash flows from operating,
financing and investing activities reflect the inclusion of our initial businesses for the 138 day
period between May 16, 2006 and September 30, 2006. Any comparison of our consolidated cash flows
for this short period in 2006 to any prior period is not meaningful.
At September 30, 2006, on a consolidated basis, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled
approximately $10.3 million, which represents the inclusion of the results of operations of the
initial businesses for 138 days (May 16, 2006 through September 30, 2006). On July 31, 2006 we
acquired a controlling interest in Anodyne. As a result, consolidated cash flows include Anodynes
results for two months (August 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006).
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $345.8 million, which reflects the
costs to acquire the initial businesses and Anodyne. Cash flow provided by financing activities
totaled $348.4 million, reflecting the net proceeds of the shareholder offerings and draw-downs of
debt from our Finance Agreement.
At September 30, 2006 we had approximately $13.0 million of cash on hand and the following
outstanding loans due from each of our initial businesses:
| CBS Personnel approximately $64.2 million; | ||
| Crosman approximately $49.5 million; | ||
| Advanced Circuits approximately $40.4 million; | ||
| Silvue approximately $19.2 million; and | ||
| Anodyne approximately $11.7 million. |
Each loan has a scheduled maturity and each business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the
principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity.
In September 2006, our subsidiary Silvue borrowed approximately $9.0 million in term loans from us
in order to redeem its outstanding cumulative preferred stock.
In October 2006, Anodyne borrowed an additional $9.2 million in term loans in order finance its
Anatomic acquisition.
A non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $8.0 million was recorded during the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 in order to recognize our estimated, potential liability in connection with the
Supplemental Put Agreement between us and our Manager, (see Related Party Transactions).
Our primary source of cash is from the receipt of interest and principal on our outstanding loans
to our businesses. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow of these
businesses, which are available for (i) operating expenses; (ii) payment of principal and interest
under our Financing Agreement,; (iii) payments to our Manager due or potentially due pursuant to the
Management Services Agreement, the LLC Agreement, and the Supplemental Put Agreement; (iv) cash
distributions to our shareholders and (v) investments in future acquisitions. Payments made under
(iii) above are required to be paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and
exceed the funds held by the Company, which may require the Company to dispose of assets or incur
debt to fund such expenditures. We believe that we currently have sufficient liquidity and
resources to meet our existing obligations including anticipated distributions to our shareholders
over the next twelve months.
34
We intend to use the Financing Agreement to pursue acquisitions of additional businesses to the
extent permitted under our Financing Agreement and to provide for working capital needs. All
obligations under the Financing Agreement will mature on May 16, 2011. As of September 30, 2006,
the Company had $50.0 million in term loans outstanding; $10.0 million in delayed draw term loans
outstanding and $9.5 million in revolving credit commitments outstanding under the Financing
Agreement. On October 5, 2006 we borrowed an additional $9.0 million under our Financing Agreement
in order to fund Anodynes acquisition of Anatomic (see Recent Events).
The Financing Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all the assets of the Company,
including, but not limited to, the capital stock of our businesses, loan receivables from these
businesses, cash and other assets. The Financing Agreement also requires that the loan agreements
between the Company and our businesses be secured by a first priority lien on the assets of our
businesses.
The Financing Agreement includes certain affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among
other customary covenants that require us:
| to maintain a minimum level of cash flow; | ||
| to leverage new businesses we acquire to a minimum specified level at the time of acquisition; | ||
| to keep our total debt to cash flow at or below a ratio of 3 to 1; and | ||
| to maintain a minimum rate of cash flow to our fixed charges. |
In addition, we are only permitted to make acquisitions that satisfy certain specified minimum
criteria imposed by our lender.
We are in compliance with the covenants contained in the Financing Agreement. We do not believe
these financial covenants, including the limitation on the total debt the Company may have, will
materially limit our ability to undertake future financing.
We incurred approximately $6.4 million in fees and costs for the arranging of the Financing
Agreement, which were paid to the lenders and a third party that assisted us in obtaining the
Financing Agreement and for various other costs. This amount is being amortized over the life of
the loan.
We intend to pursue a policy of making regular distributions on our outstanding shares. Our policy
is dependent upon the liquidity and capital resources available in our businesses, taking into
consideration their long and short-term capital needs.
On July 18, 2006 we paid a distribution of $0.1327 per share to all holders of record on July 11,
2006 and on October 19, 2006 we paid a distribution $0.2625 per share to holders of record on
October 13, 2006. Respectively, these distributions represent (i) a pro-rata distribution for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 and (ii) a full distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
We intend to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly cash distributions.
35
The table below details cash receipts and payments that are not reflected on our income statement
in order to provide an additional measure of managements estimate of cash flow available for
distribution (CAD). CAD is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides additional information to
evaluate our ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions. It is not necessarily comparable
with similar measures provided by other entities. We believe that CAD, together with future
distributions and cash available from our businesses (net of reserves) will be sufficient to meet
our anticipated distributions over the next twelve months. The table below reconciles CAD to net
income and to cash flow provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Cash flows of certain of our businesses are seasonal in nature. Cash flows from CBS Personnel
are typically lower in the March 31 quarter of each year than in other quarters due to reduced
seasonal demand for temporary staffing services and to
lower gross margins during that period associated with the front-end loading of certain taxes and
other payments associated with payroll paid to our employees. In addition, Crosmans business is
seasonal in nature, with cash flow typically peaking in the December 31 quarter of each year as a
result of holiday related sales.
36
Related Party Transactions
We have entered into
the following agreements with our Manager, CGM. Any fees associated with the agreements
described below must be paid, if applicable, prior to the payment of any distributions to
shareholders.
| Management Services Agreement | ||
| LLC Agreement | ||
| Supplemental Put Agreement |
Management Services Agreement We
entered into a Management Services Agreement
(Agreement) with our Manager effective May 16, 2006. The Agreement provides for our Manager to perform services
for us in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of our adjusted net
assets. We amended the Agreement on November 8, 2006, to clarify that adjusted net assets are not
reduced by non-cash charges associated with the Supplemental Put, which amendment was unanimously
approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The management fee is required
to be paid prior to the payment of any distributions to shareholders. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 we paid approximately $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively,
to our Manager for its quarterly management fee.
LLC Agreement As distinguished
from its provision of providing management services to
us, pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, our Manager is also an equity holder of our allocation
interests. As such, our Manager has the right to a distribution pursuant to a profit allocation formula
upon the occurrence of certain events. Our Manager paid $100,000 for the aforementioned allocation
interests and has the right to cause the Company to purchase the allocation interests it owns under
certain circumstances, (see Supplemental Put Agreement below).
Supplemental Put Agreement As distinct from its role as our Manager, CGM is also the
owner of 100% of the allocation interests in the Company. Concurrent with the IPO, CGM and the
Company entered into a Supplemental Put Agreement, which may require the Company to acquire these
allocation interests upon termination of the Management Services Agreement. Essentially, the put
rights granted to CGM require us to acquire CGMs allocation interests in the Company at a price
based on a percentage of the increase in fair value in the Companys businesses over its basis in
those businesses. Each fiscal quarter we estimates the fair value of our businesses for the
purpose of determining our potential liability associated with the Supplemental Put Agreement.
Any change in the potential liability is accrued currently as a non-cash adjustment to earnings.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized approximately $8.0 million in non-cash
expense related to the Supplemental Put Agreement.
Anodyne acquisition
On July 31, 2006, we acquired from CGI and its wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Compass Medical
Mattress Partners, LP (the Seller) approximately 47.3% of the outstanding capital stock, on a
fully-diluted basis, of Anodyne, representing approximately 69.8% of the voting power of all
Anodyne stock. Pursuant to the same agreement, we also acquired from the Seller all of the
Original Loans. On the same date, we entered into a Note Purchase and Sale Agreement with CGI and
the Seller for the purchase from the Seller of a Promissory Note issued by a borrower controlled by
Anodynes chief executive officer. The promissory Note accrues interest at the rate of 13% per
annum and is added to the Notes principal balance. The balance of the Note plus accrued interest
totaled approximately $5.4 million at September 30, 2006. The Note matures in August, 2008. The
balance of the Promissory Note and accrued interest totals approximately $5.4 million at September
30, 2006.
Our
Manager, CGM acted as an advisor to us in the transaction for which it received transaction services
fees and expense payments totaling approximately $300,000.
37
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no special purpose entities or off balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases
entered into in the ordinary course of business.
Long-term contractual obligations, except for our long-term debt obligations, are generally not
recognized in our consolidated balance sheet. Non-cancelable purchase obligations are obligations
we incur during the normal course of business, based on projected needs.
The table below summarizes the payment schedule of our contractual obligations at September 30,
2006.

(d) | The supplemental put obligation is an estimated liability accrued as if our management services agreement with CGM had been terminated This agreement has not been terminated and there is no basis upon which to determine a date in the future, if any, that this amount will be paid. |
The table does not include the long-term portion of the actuarially developed reserve for workers
compensation, which does not provide for annual estimated payments beyond one year. This
liability, totaling approximately $14.4 million at September 30, 2006, is included in our balance
sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. (FIN) 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is effective January 1, 2007. The purpose of FIN
48 is to clarify and set forth consistent rules for accounting for uncertain tax positions in
accordance with FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The cumulative effect of applying the
provisions of this interpretation is required to be reported separately as an adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. We are in the process of reviewing
and evaluating FIN 48, and therefore the ultimate impact of its adoption is not yet known.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 eliminates the diversity of practice
surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.
38
It establishes an
approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of
the misstatements on each of the companys financial statements and the related financial statement
disclosures. We do not expect SAB 108 to have a material impact on our financial condition or
results of operations. SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for their first
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . This standard clarifies the principle
that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
information used to develop those assumptions. We have not yet determined the impact that the
implementation of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations or financial condition. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This standard requires employers to recognize the
underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability
in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS No. 158
requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement
of financial position. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of SFAS No.
158 will have on our financial statements. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote
disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.
The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2008. We
have determined that this statement is not applicable to the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Sensitivity
At September 30, 2006, we were exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowings
under our Financing Agreement because borrowings under this agreement are subject to variable
interest rates. In connection with the acquisition of our businesses, we had outstanding $69.5
million under the Financing Agreement as follows: $60 million in outstanding term loans as of
September 30, 2006 (which was used to partially fund the acquisition of the initial businesses and
Anodyne) and $9.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit portion of the facility. In
addition we have approximately $2.2 million in a fixed-rate revolving credit facility outstanding
in connection with Silvues operations in Japan.
We expect to borrow under the revolving credit portion of the Financing Agreement to finance
our short-term working capital needs.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
At September 30, 2006, we were not exposed to significant foreign currency exchange rate risks
that could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
39
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the Trusts Regular Trustees and the Companys
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Trusts and the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of September 30, 2006. Based on that
evaluation, the Regular Trustees of the Trust and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company concluded that the Trusts and the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2006.
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Trusts Regular
Trustees and the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, concluded that no changes in the Trusts or the Companys internal control
over financial reporting occurred during the third quarter of 2006 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trusts and the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal proceedings associated with the Companys and the Trusts business together with legal
proceedings for the initial businesses have not changed materially from those disclosed in the
Registration Statement on Form S-1, (File No. 333-130326) as filed with the SEC, and incorporated
herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, risk factors and uncertainties associated with the Companys and the
Trusts business have not changed materially from those disclosed in the Registration Statement on
Form S-1, (File No. 333-130326) as filed with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference, and in
our Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q on August 10, 2006 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to us or that we currently believe
are immaterial may also materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and
operations.
Risks Related to Taxation
Our shareholders will be subject to tax on their share of the companys taxable income, which
taxes or taxable income could exceed the cash distributions they receive from the trust.
Our shareholders will be subject to U.S. federal income tax and, possibly, state, local and foreign
income tax, on their share of the companys taxable income, which taxes or taxable income could
exceed the cash distributions they receive from the trust. There is, accordingly, a risk
that our shareholders may not receive cash distributions equal to their portion of our taxable
income or sufficient in amount even to satisfy their personal tax liability that results from that
income. This may result from gains on the sale or exchange of stock or debt of
subsidiaries that will be allocated to shareholders who hold (or are deemed to hold) shares on the
day such gains were realized if there is no corresponding distribution of the proceeds from such
sales, or where a shareholder disposes of shares after an allocation of gain but before proceeds
(if any) are distributed by the company. Shareholders may also realize income in excess of
distributions due to the companys use of cash from operations or sales proceeds for uses other
than to make distributions to shareholders, including to fund acquisitions, satisfy short- and
long-term working capital needs of our businesses, or satisfy known or unknown liabilities. In
addition, certain financial covenants with the companys lenders may limit or prohibit the
distribution of cash to shareholders. The companys board of directors is also free to change the
companys distribution policy. The Company is under no obligation to make distributions to
shareholders equal to or in excess of their portion of our taxable income or sufficient in amount
even to satisfy the tax liability that results from that income.
41
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Allocation of Profits and Losses Associated with the Divestiture of Subsidiaries of the Company or
for other Unusual Events
In general, the Companys profits and losses are determined on an annual basis and allocated among
the holders in proportion to the number of months during the year in which they held shares,
determined as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding month. Therefore, a holder who
held (or was deemed to hold) shares for the first five months of a year would be allocated 5/12ths
of the annual income, regardless of amount of income actually earned during the first five months.
However, with respect to gains and losses realized on the divestiture of the Companys subsidiaries
and for other unusual profits and losses, the Company will allocate such gains and losses to
holders who held (or are deemed to hold) shares on the day such unusual gain or loss is realized.
