The selected financial data presented below with respect to the statements of income data for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 are derived from our Consolidated Financial Statements that have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and are qualified by reference to such financial statements and notes related thereto.  The selected financial data with respect to the statements of income data for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, are derived from our Consolidated Financial Statements that have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, previously filed with the Commission.  The data provided should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  During the fourth quarter of 2004, we disposed of an operating unit from our Drivetrain Remanufacturing segment which remanufactured transmissions for General Motors.  This business, along with our former Distribution Group subsidiary, which was sold in October 2000, are classified as discontinued operations and are excluded from the selected financial data presented below.

(1)                                  See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 20” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a description of exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges (credits).

(2)                                  Income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 excludes gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $(21,019), $1,639, $3,947, $(59) and $(98,569), respectively.

(3)                                  See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 14” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a description of the computation of earnings per share.

(4)                                  EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as income from operations adjusted to add other income (expense), net and depreciation and amortization expense.

We report our financial results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  We also provide non-GAAP financial information to complement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.  Our press releases and other communications from time to time may include such non-GAAP financial measures.  A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of our financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, investors, equity analysts and rating agencies with useful information by which to measure our performance.  Our non-GAAP financial measures may vary from similarly titled measures of other companies because of differences in the way the measures are calculated and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies.

Whenever we present non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is made available.  The non-GAAP financial measures used by us are not intended to supercede or replace our GAAP results or expectations.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “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.

Item 8.01.              Other Events.

On March 3, 2005, we issued a press release (a copy of which is being furnished to the SEC as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K) announcing a proposed underwritten public secondary offering of up to 6,250,000 million shares of our common stock, to be offered by existing stockholders of the Company, including the Aurora Capital Group stockholders.  Certain of the selling stockholders have also granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 935,782 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

Certain of our directors have indicated to us that they do not intend to stand for election at our next annual election of directors.  Messrs. Mark C. Hardy and Gerald L. Parsky, affiliates of Aurora Capital Group, have indicated to us that they do not intend to stand for election if the 4,252,409, 678,884 and 12,612 shares of common stock owned by Aurora Equity Partners L.P., Aurora Overseas Equity Partners I, L.P. and Mr. Parsky, respectively, are sold in this offering, regardless of whether or not the option to purchase 935,782 additional shares of common stock granted by such selling stockholders to the underwriters to cover over-allotments is exercised.  Messrs. Michael T. DuBose and Dale F. Frey have indicated to us that they intend to retire and not stand for election at our next annual election of directors.
