Item 8.01 Other Events

On November 29, 2004, Atrium Companies, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) announced that the Company and its parent, Atrium Corporation (the “Parent”), intended to effect a comprehensive refinancing plan (the “Refinancing”). The elements of the proposed Refinancing are: (i) the issuance of senior discount notes (the “New Notes”) by a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Subsidiary 1”), which subsidiary will subsequently become a direct subsidiary of the Parent through a distribution of the capital stock of New Subsidiary 1 and the contribution of the net proceeds from such issuance to the Company, and (ii) the Company entering into a new senior secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Refinancing primarily to consummate a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Solicitation”) for all of its outstanding 10 1/2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”) and to repay all outstanding borrowings under its existing senior secured credit facility. On December 7, 2004, the Company commenced the Offer and the Solicitation by distributing an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement (the “Offer to Purchase”) to the holders of the Notes. The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) in order to update the information in the Offer to Purchase and to describe the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments described therein. Specifically, the information contained in this Current Report under the heading “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data” replaces in its entirety the section contained in the Offer to Purchase bearing the same title.

Specifically, the elements of the Refinancing (including the payment of related costs and expenses) are:


	•	Restructuring. The Company will form New Subsidiary 1, which initially will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and New Subsidiary 1 will then form a new wholly owned subsidiary of New Subsidiary 1 (“New Subsidiary 2”). Immediately after the Company enters into the New Credit Facility and repays all borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility and New Subsidiary 1 issues the New Notes, the Company will dividend the capital stock of New Subsidiary 1 to the Parent and, following such dividend, the Company will merge with New Subsidiary 2, with the Company being the surviving entity in such merger.

	•	New Credit Facility. On or prior to the date the Notes are initially paid for pursuant to the Offer (the “Initial Payment Date”), the Company intends to enter into the New Credit Facility which is expected to provide for (i) a new revolving facility of up to $50.0 million and (ii) a new $325.0 million term loan facility.

	•	Repayment of Borrowings Under Existing Credit Facility. On or prior to the Initial Payment Date, the Company intends to repay in full all borrowings (consisting of existing revolving loans and existing term loans estimated to be approximately $198.6 million as of September 30, 2004) under its existing credit facility.

	•	The New Notes Offering. On or prior to the Initial Payment Date, New Subsidiary 1 intends to issue the New Notes and contribute the net proceeds therefrom to the Company as the surviving entity in the merger with New Subsidiary 2.

	•	Repurchase or Redemption of the Notes. The Company intends to consummate the Offer and intends to redeem any Notes that are not tendered pursuant to the Offer.

This Current Report contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) relating to us based on beliefs of management that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Current Report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend” and other similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to the risks and uncertainties regarding our operations and results of operations, as well as our customers and suppliers, including the availability of credit; competition within our industry; interest rate fluctuations; employment trends; changes in levels of consumer confidence and preferences; national and regional trends in new housing starts; costs of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws; protection of our intellectual property; costs for labor, land and raw materials; pricing pressures; impact of construction defect and home warranty claims; shifts in market demand and general economic conditions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual sales may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations are based on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company’s acquired entities adjusted to give effect to:


	•	the Refinancing, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003 with respect to the statements of operations and September 30, 2004 with respect to the balance sheet;

	•	the December 2003 merger of the Parent with affiliates of Kenner & Company, Inc. (the “Merger”), as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003;

	•	the application of “pushdown accounting” pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54, “Application of “Pushdown Accounting” Relating to the Acquisition of Certain Subsidiaries” (“SAB 54”), as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003 with respect to the statements of operations and September 30, 2004 with respect to the balance sheet. In connection with the Merger, we did not apply “pushdown accounting.” The guidance in SAB No. 54 allows post-merger financial statements to continue under the historical basis of accounting if significant public debt (e.g., the Notes) remains outstanding. Pursuant to the Refinancing, the Notes will be retired in their entirety. Upon such retirement of the Notes, we will be required to apply “pushdown accounting”;

	•	the following acquisitions completed during 2004 (collectively, the “2004 Acquisitions”), as if they each had occurred on January 1, 2003:

Atrium Shutters, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, manufactures and installs custom-fit, hurricane and storm protection systems for new home construction in Florida;

	•	West Coast Custom Finish, Inc. On August 2, 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets of West Coast Custom Finish, Inc. (“West Coast Custom”), a Nevada corporation, for $2.3 million in cash with an additional amount of $3.5 million to be paid over a period of four years upon the achievement of certain financial targets.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 presented below has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s acquired entities. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presented below as of September 30, 2004 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations presented below for the nine-month and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2004 have been derived from the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and those of the Company’s acquired entities. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations have been derived from currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations do not present financial information for the Parent.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet (all dollars in thousands)


	(a)	Represents the net cash outlay that would have been required if the Refinancing had occurred on September 30, 2004.

	(b)	In connection with the Merger, we did not apply “pushdown accounting” pursuant to SAB No. 54. Pursuant to the Refinancing, the Notes will be retired and “pushdown accounting” will be required. Therefore, the Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

The estimated fair value adjustments associated with pushdown accounting are as follows:






Increase in inventory related to fair value adjustment of finished goods and work in progress	$	1,400




Increase in fair value of property, plant and equipment with estimated average useful lives of 8 years		12,900




Increase to intangible assets related to fair value of trade names of $91,000 with indefinite lives and customer relationships of $308,000 ($260,000 with estimated lives of 10 years and $48,000 with estimated lives of 7 years)		399,000




Increase in net deferred tax liability		(139,328	)




Decrease in goodwill associated with the purchase price in excess of fair value of net assets acquired		(133,623	)

Net increase in equity related to pushdown accounting in connection with the Merger	$	140,349


The allocation of the purchase price, the related assignment of asset lives, and resulting depreciation and amortization expense are based on preliminary estimates, which may differ from the final purchase price allocation and the final lives assigned to the assets. Any change in the fair value or lives assigned to amortizable or depreciable assets may impact future operating results. We subject the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets to an annual impairment test. Our evaluation in 2004 will include a determination of any potential impairment related to the loss of certain business with The Home Depot. See Recent Developments for further explanation.


	(c)	Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.

	(d)	Represents the financing costs related to the New Credit Facility offset by the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the existing credit facility and the Notes.

	Net reduction in deferred financing costs	$	(11,980	)

⁽¹⁾ Includes $1,457 of unamortized net premium.


	(h)	Represents the change in equity as a result of the Refinancing.






Net capital contribution from New Subsidiary 1		$	121,000




Increase related to pushdown accounting in connection with the Merger			140,349




Write-off of unamortized premium on the Notes			1,457

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

(a) EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, securitization expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (as defined below) before stock compensation expense and special charges. While we do not intend for EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA to represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and we do not suggest that you consider them as indicators of operating performance or alternatives to cash flow or operating income (as measured by GAAP) or as measures of liquidity, we include them to provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors and analysts in the building materials industry the necessary information to analyze and compare our historical results on a comparable basis with other companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. However, as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined by GAAP, they may not be calculated on the same basis as other similarly titled measures of other companies within the building materials industry. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income as reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as amended by the amendment thereto filed with the Commission on April 9, 2004, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The following is a reconciliation of pro forma EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA to pro forma net income:

This historical information is unaudited and was prepared by the management of the applicable acquired entity and though our management has reviewed such historical information, a holder of Notes should not place undue reliance on any such information. The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 for Superior, Atrium Shutters and Kinco were audited.

⁽²⁾

Historical interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes actual interest rate swap expenses of $4,554. This amount has been excluded herein as this interest rate swap was required to be terminated in connection with the Merger. Assuming termination of our swaps at January 1, 2003, we would have incurred additional borrowings of $4,430 based on the fair value of this swap at the beginning of 2003.

⁽¹⁾	These adjustments do not include the elimination of $750 of structuring fees that were expensed in 2003. A 1/8% increase or decrease in the interest rate would change securitization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the year ended December 31, 2003 and the twelve months ended September 30, 2004 by $38, $51 and $51, respectively.
