Item 4.02(a) Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements

On March 14, 2006, the management of Mueller Group, LLC (the “Company”) and its Audit Committee determined that the Company will restate its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to correct the classification of certain prior-period shipping and handling costs in compliance with EITF 00-10: “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs” and that such previously filed financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 should no longer be relied upon. Management discussed the foregoing conclusion with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The impact of the restatement is to increase consolidated sales and cost of sales by $10.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The restatement has no effect on reported operating income or net income.

The quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 will disclose management’s determination that the aforementioned restatement related to the classification of shipping and handling costs is not the result of a new material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, but rather the result of the material weakness previously reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q as of December 31, 2005 related to the Company not maintaining effective controls over the preparation, review and presentation and disclosure of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company intends to include the corrected Consolidated Financial Statements in a Form 10-Q/A to be filed as soon as practical.

The following summary illustrates the effects of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 (dollars in millions):
