acquired home fashion segment for the eight weeks ended September&nbsp;30, 2005. Home fashion
operations are conducted through AREP&#146;s subsidiary, WestPoint International, Inc., which acquired
substantially all the assets of WestPoint Stevens Inc. on August&nbsp;8, 2005.

due to the inclusion of AREP&#146;s home fashion segment revenue for the first time. AREP reported an
operating loss of $30.2&nbsp;million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to operating income of $14.3
million for the third quarter of 2004. These results include unrealized losses on oil and gas

it no longer controls GBH for accounting purposes and deconsolidated its investment in GBH. As a
result of GBH&#146;s bankruptcy, AREP recorded impairment charges of $52.4&nbsp;million related to the
write-off of the remaining carrying amount of its investment ($6.7&nbsp;million) and also to reflect a
dilution in its effective ownership percentage of Atlantic Holdings, 32.3% of which had been owned
through AREP&#146;s ownership of GBH ($45.7&nbsp;million).
