About Compass Diversified Trust
Compass Diversified Trust and its subsidiary, Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC, (collectively, “Compass”) were formed to acquire and manage a group of small to middle market businesses that are headquartered in the United States. Compass has acquired controlling interests in four businesses: CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc., a human resources outsourcing firm; Crosman Acquisition Corporation, a recreational products company; Compass AC Holdings, Inc., an electronic components manufacturer; and Silvue Technologies Group, Inc., a global chemical hardcoatings manufacturer. Compass works with the management teams of middle market businesses to identify and capitalize on diverse acquisition opportunities that satisfy Compass’ acquisition criteria. Compass seeks to acquire controlling interest in businesses that have stable and growing cash flows, maintain strong niche market presences and have positive macroeconomic outlooks.

Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements, and some of these factors are enumerated in the risk factor discussion in the Form 10Q filed by Compass with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31,2006 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Compass undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
