(1) The information for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and the
    three months ended April 2, 2005 has been derived from the
    unaudited statements of operation.

(2) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be
    considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from
    operations, as determined by accounting principles generally
    accepted in the United States (GAAP), and NSP's and the Company's
    calculations thereof may not be comparable to that reported by
    other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated above
    as it is a basis upon which NSP and the Company assesses their
    liquidity position and because we believe that they present useful
    information to investors regarding a company's ability to service
    and/or incur indebtedness. This belief is based on NSP's and the
    Company's negotiations with its lenders who have indicated that
    the amount of indebtedness it will be permitted to incur will be
    based, in part, on measures similar to their EBITDA and Adjusted
    EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not take into account NSP's
    and the Company's working capital requirements, debt service
    requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, are not
    necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for
    discretionary use.

(1) On July 19, 2005, all the outstanding units of NSP were acquired
    by Holdings, with the result that NSP became a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Holdings. NSP's financial position and results of
    operations prior to the acquisition are presented separately in
    the consolidated financial statements as "Predecessor" financial
    statements, while the financial position and results of operations
    following the acquisition are presented as "Successor" financial
    statements. Due to the revaluation of assets as a result of
    purchase accounting associated with the acquisition, the
    pre-acquisition financial statements are not comparable with those
    after the acquisition in certain respects.

(1) On July 19, 2005, all the outstanding units of NSP were acquired
    by Holdings from NSP Holdings, with the result that Holdings
    became the sole unit holder of NSP and assumed, pursuant to a
    supplemental indenture, the obligations of NSP Holdings and
    Capital under their outstanding $100 million 11 3/4% Senior Pay in
    Kind Notes due 2012 and the indenture governing such notes. NSP
    Holdings' financial position and results of operations prior to
    the acquisition are presented separately in the consolidated
    financial statements as "Predecessor" financial statements, while
    the financial position and results of operations of Holdings
    following the acquisition are presented as "Successor" financial
    statements. Due to the revaluation of assets as a result of
    purchase accounting associated with the acquisition, the
    pre-acquisition financial statements are not comparable with those
    after the acquisition in certain respects.
