SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. - 5 - COLUMBUS MCKINNON CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 30, 2001 (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) 1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Columbus McKinnon Corporation (the Company) at December 30, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, have been included. Results for the period ended December 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Columbus McKinnon Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001. The Company is a broad-line designer, manufacturer and supplier of sophisticated material handling products that are widely distributed to industrial, automotive, and consumer markets globally; integrated material handling solutions for industrial markets; and integrated material handling solutions for automotive markets. The Company's material handling products are sold, domestically and internationally, principally to third party distributors through diverse distribution channels, and to a lesser extent directly to manufacturers and other end-users. The Company's integrated material handling solutions industrial businesses deal primarily with end users and sales are concentrated, domestically and internationally (primarily Europe), in the consumer products, manufacturing, warehousing and, to a lesser extent, the steel, construction, automotive and other industrial markets. The Company's integrated material handling solutions automotive business primarily deals with end users and sales are concentrated domestically and internationally (primarily North America), in the automotive industry. 2. Inventories consisted of the following: DECEMBER 30, MARCH 31, 2001 2001 ---------- ---------- At cost - FIFO basis: Raw materials.......................... $ 55,345 $ 60,908 Work-in-process........................ 15,870 17,110 Finished goods......................... 37,632 41,850 ---------- ---------- 108,847 119,868 LIFO cost less than FIFO cost............. (7,754) (6,650) ---------- ---------- Net inventories ........................ $ 101,093 $ 113,218 ========== ========== An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. - 6 - 3. Property, plant, and equipment is net of $75,221 and $65,613 of accumulated depreciation at December 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001, respectively. 4. Goodwill and other intangibles is net of $74,279 and $62,239 of accumulated amortization at December 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001, respectively. 5. General and Product Liability - The accrued general and product liability costs, which are included in other non-current liabilities, are the actuarial present value of estimated expenditures based on amounts determined from loss reports and individual cases filed with the Company, and an amount, based on experience, for losses incurred but not reported. The accrual in these condensed consolidated financial statements was determined by applying a discount factor based on interest rates customarily used in the insurance industry. 6. The carrying amount of the Company's senior debt instruments approximates the fair value. The Company's subordinated debt has an approximate fair value of $183,000, which is less than its carrying amount of $199,668. 7. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

8. Income tax expense for the three and nine-month periods ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, exceeds the customary relationship between income tax expense and income (loss) before income taxes due to nondeductible amortization of goodwill of $3,075, $3,097, $9,227, and $9,268, respectively. 9. On April 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of derivatives by reference to quoted market prices. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, of certain interest rate risks. - 7 - In order to provide interest rate risk protection, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in June of 2001 to effectively convert $40 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The $40 million interest rate swap agreement matures in June 2003. The cash flow hedge is considered effective and the gain or loss on the change in fair value is reported in other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax. The June 2001 interest rate swap is the only derivative instrument held by the Company, as such there is no impact on the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at April 1, 2001. The net impact of the derivative instrument was a decrease to other comprehensive income of $22 and $594 for the three and nine-month periods ended December 30, 2001, respectively. The fair value of the derivative at December 30, 2001 was a $990 liability. 10. As a result of the way the Company manages the business, its reportable segments are strategic business units that offer products with different characteristics. The most defining characteristic is the extent of customized engineering required on a per-order basis. In addition, the segments serve different customer bases through differing methods of distribution. The Company has three reportable segments: material handling products, material handling solutions - industrial, and material handling solutions - automotive. The Company's products segment sells hoists, industrial cranes, chain, attachments, and other material handling products principally to third party distributors through diverse distribution channels. The solutions - industrial segment sells engineered material handling systems such as conveyors, manipulators, and lift tables primarily to end-users in the consumer products, manufacturing, warehousing, and, to a lesser extent, the steel, construction, automotive, and other industrial markets. The solutions - automotive segment sells engineered material handling systems, mainly conveyors, primarily to end-users in the automotive industry. Intersegment sales are not significant. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income of the respective business units prior to the effects of amortization. Segment information as of and for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, is as follows:

- 12 - 12. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" in June 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and modifies the application of the purchase accounting method. The elimination of the pooling-of-interests method is effective for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in June of 2001. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible assets with a defined life and the impairment testing and recognition for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 will apply to goodwill and intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after the effective date. This statement, which will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2002, must be adopted at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the Statement and the impact that the requirement to assess impairment upon adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. Upon Adoption, the Company will stop amortizing goodwill which, based upon current levels of goodwill, would reduce amortization expense by approximately $16 million on an annual basis. The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" in June 2001. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This Statement, which is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2003, may be adopted as of April 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the Statement and the impact, if any, that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The statement, while retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121, does change the criteria to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale as well as the grouping of long-lived assets and liabilities that represent the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. SFAS No. 144 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the Statement and the impact, if any, that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. - 13 - Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) The Company is a broad-line designer, manufacturer, and supplier of sophisticated material handling products that are distributed to industrial, automotive and consumer markets globally; integrated material handling solutions for industrial markets worldwide; and integrated material handling solutions for automotive markets. The Company's material handling products are sold, domestically and internationally, principally to third party distributors through diverse distribution channels. Distribution channels include general distributors, specialty distributors, crane end users, service-after-sale distributors, original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), government, consumer and international. The general distributors are comprised of industrial distributors, rigging shops and crane builders. Specialty distributors include catalog houses, material handling specialists and entertainment equipment riggers. The service-after-sale network includes repair parts distribution centers, chain service centers, and hoist repair centers. Consumer distribution channels include mass merchandisers, hardware distributors, trucking and transportation distributors, farm hardware distributors and rental outlets. The Company's integrated material handling solutions segments primarily deal directly with end-users. Material handling solutions - industrial sales are concentrated, domestically and internationally (primarily Europe), in consumer products manufacturing, warehousing and, to a lesser extent, the steel, construction, automotive, and other industrial markets. Material handling solutions - automotive sales are concentrated, domestically and internationally (primarily North America) in the automotive industry. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000 Net sales in the fiscal 2002 quarter ended December 30, 2001 were $137,747, a decrease of $37,331 or 21.3% from the fiscal 2001 quarter ended December 31, 2000. Net sales for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 were $485,229, a decrease of $67,221 or 12.2% from the nine months ended December 31, 2000. Sales in the Products segment decreased by $16,651 or 14.8% from the previous year's quarter and $51,049 or 14.2% for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 in comparison to the prior year period due to continued softness in all industrial markets (particularly domestically). Sales in the Solutions-Industrial segment decreased 9.8% or $1,607 for the quarter and 17.3% or $8,898 for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 when compared to the same periods in the prior year due to weak industrial markets. The Solutions-Automotive segment had a sales decrease of 41.1% or $19,073 for the quarter and 5.1% or $7,274 for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 when compared to the respective periods in the prior year as a result of softening automotive capital spending. Sales in the individual segments were as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED ------------------ ----------------- DEC. 30, DEC. 31, CHANGE DEC. 30, DEC. 31, CHANGE ------ ------ 2001 2000 AMOUNT % 2001 2000 AMOUNT % ---- ---- ------ - ---- ---- ------ - Products $ 95,591 $ 112,242 $ (16,651) (14.8) $ 308,359 $ 359,408 $ (51,049) (14.2) Solutions-Industrial 14,815 16,422 (1,607) (9.8) 42,450 51,348 (8,898) (17.3) Solutions-Automotive 27,341 46,414 (19,073) (41.1) 134,420 141,694 (7,274) (5.1) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net sales $ 137,747 $ 175,078 $ (37,331) (21.3) $ 485,229 $ 552,450 $ (67,221) (12.2) ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= =========
- 14 - The Company's gross profit margins were 23.2%, 22.6%, 20.6%, and 23.8% for the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The increase in the current quarter margin and decrease in the nine-month period margin relative to the respective periods in the prior year is the result of sales volume mix between the higher margin products segment and the lower margin solutions segments. The gross profit margin in the Products segment was maintained for the quarter ended December 30, 2001 when compared to prior year despite decreasing sales volume as a result of the impact of cost containment measures and strategic initiatives. The gross profit margin in the Products segment for the nine-month period ended December 30, 2001 decreased from the respective period in the prior year as a result of decreased production and sales volume and the effects of a reclassification to cost of goods sold from general and administrative expense, offset somewhat by cost control measures. The Solutions-Industrial segment experienced a decrease in margin for the current quarter and nine-month period when compared to the respective periods in the prior year as a result of decreased volume. Gross margins in the Solutions-Automotive segment were lower for the quarter and nine-month period ended December 30, 2001 due to continuing competitive pressures and installation/staffing issues with respect to a series of contracts at a particular site. Selling expenses were $10,915, $12,523, $33,996, and $37,337 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, selling expenses were 7.9%, 7.2%, 7.0%, and 6.8% in the fiscal 2001 and 2000 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The reduced expenses are the result of cost control measures and decreased volume in the Products segment. General and administrative expenses were $7,857, $9,325, $23,640, and $29,626 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, general and administrative expenses were 5.7%, 5.3%, 4.9% and 5.4% in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The decrease is the result of a reclassification to costs of goods sold from general and administrative expense, cost control measures, and lower product liability expense recorded by the Company's captive insurance company. In conjunction with the continuation of its strategic integration process, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $9,561 in the fiscal 2002 nine-month period ended December 30, 2001. The charges consist of costs associated with the closure of the Lister Bolt and Chain Division manufacturing facility in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada and the Forrest City, Arkansas plant. The costs are mainly comprised of property resolution and employee separation costs. Amortization of intangibles was $3,994, $4,014, $12,040, and $12,045 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine months then ended, respectively. Interest and debt expense was $7,112, $9,815, $23,913, and $28,806 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The fiscal 2002 decrease is the result of the significant reduction in debt and decreased interest rates. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, interest and debt expense was 5.2%, 5.6%, 4.9%, and 5.2% in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. - 15 - Interest and other (expense) income was $(77), $524, $(158), and $2,136 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The decrease in the current year fiscal quarter and year to date results as compared to the respective periods in the prior year is due to lower investment earnings on assets in the Company's captive insurance company. Income taxes as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes were 104.5%, 70.4%, (79.6)%, and 55.4% in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters and the nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The percentages reflect the effect of nondeductible amortization of goodwill resulting from acquisitions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Revolving Credit Facility provides availability up to $225 million, due March 31, 2003, against which $145.8 million was outstanding at December 30, 2001. Interest is payable at varying Eurodollar rates based on LIBOR plus a spread determined by the Company's leverage ratio amounting to 325 basis points at February 12, 2002. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by all equipment, inventory, receivables, certain real property, subsidiary stock (limited to 65% for foreign subsidiaries) and intellectual property. The senior subordinated 8 1/2% Notes issued on March 31, 1998 amounted to $199,468, net of original issue discount of $532 and are due March 31, 2008. Interest is payable semi-annually based on an effective rate of 8.45%, considering $1,902 of proceeds from rate hedging in advance of the placement. Provisions of the 8 1/2% Notes include, without limitation, restrictions of liens, indebtedness, asset sales, and dividends and other restricted payments. Prior to April 1, 2003, the 8 1/2% Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the Make-Whole Price (as defined in the 8 1/2% Notes agreement). On or after April 1, 2003, they are redeemable at prices declining annually to 100% on and after April 1, 2006. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture for such notes), each holder of the 8 1/2% Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's 8 1/2% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof. The 8 1/2% Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. On April 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, of certain interest rate risks. In order to provide interest rate risk protection the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in June of 2001, to effectively convert $40 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The $40 million interest rate swap agreement matures in June 2003. The Company believes that its cash flows and borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and budgeted capital expenditures. The Company was in violation of certain financial covenants as of December 30, 2001 and has obtained a waiver of the violations along with an amendment, which modifies some of these covenants prospectively. The Company expects to be compliant with the amended covenants and to renegotiate its credit facility by June 30, 2002. - 16 - Net cash provided by operating activities was $47,559 for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $16 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The difference of $47,575 is due to changes in net working capital components offset by the current year loss from operations. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $1,019 for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 from $9,701 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The $8,682 difference is primarily the result of the purchase of property and a building in fiscal 2001 of a previously leased facility and proceeds received from the sale of net assets held for sale. Net cash used in financing activities was $60,651 for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $10,208 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The $70,859 change is the result of debt payments made from funds freed from working capital during the year and excess cash on hand at the end of fiscal 2001. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES In addition to keeping its current equipment and plants properly maintained, the Company is committed to replacing, enhancing, and upgrading its property, plant, and equipment to reduce production costs, increase flexibility to respond effectively to market fluctuations and changes, meet environmental requirements, enhance safety, and promote ergonomically correct work stations. Consolidated capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were $4,046 and $9,065, respectively. The decrease from fiscal 2001 is due to the purchase of property and a building in fiscal 2001 of a previously leased facility. INFLATION AND OTHER MARKET CONDITIONS The Company's costs are affected by inflation in the U.S. economy, and to a lesser extent, in foreign economies including those of Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Pacific Rim. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on results of operations over the periods presented because of low inflation levels over the periods and because the Company has generally been able to pass on rising costs through price increases. However, in the future there can be no assurance that the Company's business will not be affected by inflation or that it will be able to pass on cost increases. SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS Quarterly results may be materially affected by the timing of large customer orders, by periods of high vacation and holiday concentrations, and by acquisitions and the magnitude of acquisition costs. Therefore, the operating results for any particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any subsequent fiscal quarter or for the full fiscal year. - 17 - EFFECTS OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" in June 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and modifies the application of the purchase accounting method. The elimination of the pooling-of-interests method is effective for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in June of 2001. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible assets with a defined life and the impairment testing and recognition for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 will apply to goodwill and intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after the effective date. This statement, which will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2002, must be adopted at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the Statement and the impact that the requirement to assess impairment upon adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements. Upon Adoption, the Company will stop amortizing goodwill which, based upon current levels of goodwill, would reduce amortization expense by approximately $16 million on an annual basis. The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" in June 2001. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This Statement, which is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2003, may be adopted as of April 1, 2002. We are currently assessing the Statement and the impact, if any, that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The statement, while retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121, does change the criteria to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale as well as the grouping of long-lived assets and liabilities that represent the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. SFAS No. 144 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2002. We are currently assessing the Statement and the impact, if any, that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements. - 18 - SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This report may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
