These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2002 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Harrisburg, Pennsylvania June 16, 2003 1 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits DECEMBER 31 2002 2001 -------------------------------- ASSETS Investments $ 89,164,391 $ 94,629,620 Employer contribution receivable 146,389 156,776 Due from broker - 51,057 -------------------------------- Net assets available for benefits $ 89,310,780 $ 94,837,453 ================================ See accompanying notes. 2 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits Year ended December 31, 2002 ADDITIONS Investment income (loss): Net realized and unrealized depreciation in aggregate fair value of investments $(14,555,904) Interest and dividends 1,820,251 --------------- (12,735,653) Contributions: Employee 7,651,066 Employer 3,903,647 Rollovers 484,053 --------------- 12,038,766 --------------- Total additions, net (696,887) DEDUCTIONS Benefit payments 4,829,786 --------------- Net decrease (5,526,673) Net assets available for benefits at beginning of year 94,837,453 --------------- Net assets available for benefits at end of year $ 89,310,780 =============== See accompanying notes. 3 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2002 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION Investments in mutual funds are reported at current redemption value. Investments in common stocks, including the United Industrial Corporation Common Stock (UIC Stock Fund), are reported at fair value, based on published market prices. United States Government securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year; listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and ask prices. Participant loans represent the outstanding principal balances of the loans and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The UIC Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of UIC common stock and funds held in the Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund sufficient to meet the Fund's daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of UIC common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. At December 31, 2002, 126,252 units were outstanding with a value of $17.73 per unit (78,361 units were outstanding with a value of $18.48 per unit at December 31, 2001). USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 4 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution plan. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees to save regularly and to provide additional funds upon retirement. United Industrial Corporation (the Company or Employer) is the named fiduciary, which controls and manages the operations of the Plan and acts as Administrator. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Additional information about the Plan and the vesting and benefit provisions is contained in the Plan Document. Copies are available from the Company's Human Resources department. ELIGIBILITY Full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Plan at anytime, following attainment of age 18. Part-time employees who have attained the age of 18 are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of 1,000 hours of service during their first 12 months of employment. If 1,000 hours of service are not completed during the first 12 months of employment, a part-time employee may participate when they have completed 1,000 hours of service during a Plan year. CONTRIBUTIONS Effective August 1, 2002, participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts of at least 1% and no more than 17% of their earnings, up to the annual Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limit. Prior to August 1, 2002, participating employees contributed to the Plan a minimum of 2% of earnings up to the annual IRS limit. Contributions to the Plan are invested in accordance with the participants' elections. All employee contributions to the Plan are immediately vested. Effective January 1, 2001, Employer matching contributions are based on the participants' years of service, and range between 3% and 8% of employee compensation. Prior to January 1, 2001, Employer matching contributions were equal to the lesser of 50% of the employees' contributions or 4% of employee compensation. 5 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) CONTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED) Effective January 1, 2001, participants are immediately 100% vested in employer contributions. Prior to January 1, 2001, Employer contributions were vested after five years of service. In 2002, certain participants' Employer matching contributions are 50% of the employees' contributions up to 6% of compensation. Additionally, these same participants who have at least one hour of service during the year are eligible for an Employer contribution equal to 3% of compensation plus 3% of compensation in excess of the Social Security taxable wage base, as defined. This latter contribution amounted to approximately $161,000 in 2002, of which approximately $146,000 is receivable at December 31, 2002. Employer contributions for certain participants continue to vest according to a five-year vesting schedule. Upon enrollment, a participant may direct employee and employer contributions in 1% increments to any of the Plan's 14 investment fund options, one of which is a self-directed brokerage account. Two investments options, the Templeton Foreign A Fund and the Invesco Total Return Fund are frozen for any further contributions. Generally, participants may change their investment options at any time. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Upon termination of service or attainment of 59 1/2 years of age, any participant may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution equal to his or her vested account balance. Participants may also receive hardship withdrawals, subject to certain restrictions as defined in the Plan Document. PARTICIPANT LOANS Participants may borrow from their plan accounts up to 50% of their vested account balance subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate determined by the Company. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions and must be repaid over a period not to exceed 60 months, except in the case of loans incurred for the purchase of a primary residence where the term may be up to 15 years. 6 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant account is credited with the participant's contributions and an allocation of (a) the Employer's contributions and (b) investment income or loss. Allocations are based on account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Administrative expenses associated with the Plan, including the amount paid to Fidelity Management Trust Company for acting as trustee of the investments of the Plan, were paid by the Company in 2002. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. 3. INVESTMENTS During 2002, the Plans' investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) depreciated in aggregate fair value as determined by quoted market prices as follows: Mutual funds $(14,322,781) United Industrial Corporation common stock fund (86,117) Other common stocks (147,006) ---------------- $(14,555,904) ================ 7 UIC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) Investments that represent 5% or more of fair value of the Plans' net assets are as follows: 2002 2001 ----------------------------- Fidelity Magellan Fund $ 27,138,513 $ 35,507,950 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio 19,780,448 17,477,649 Fidelity Growth & Income Fund 12,121,861 14,100,271 Fidelity Contrafund 9,899,159 10,462,074 4. INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated October 2, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. 5.
