UNOVA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

    UNOVA, Inc. and subsidiaries ("UNOVA" or the "Company") is a leading global supplier of mobile computing and wireless network products for non-office applications and of manufacturing systems technologies primarily for the automotive and aerospace industries. The Company is headquartered in Woodland Hills, California and incorporated in the state of Delaware.

    The amounts included in this report are unaudited; however in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the stated periods have been included. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

Less progress billings     (28,446 )   (25,985 )
   
 
 
Inventories, net of progress billings   $ 219,566   $ 237,487  
   
 
 

3. Debt

    On July 12, 2001, the Company entered into two secured long-term credit facilities with aggregate committed capacity of up to $275 million: a $200 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and a $75 million secured term loan (the "Term Loan"). In conjunction with the new facilities, the Company refinanced and terminated its existing $400 million secured credit facility and related agreements.

    The Revolving Facility, maintained with a syndicate of lenders, matures on July 11, 2004. Borrowing availability is subject to a Borrowing Base calculation, as defined in the agreement, based on eligible levels of accounts receivable and inventory. The Revolving Facility is secured by a junior lien on the real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and a senior lien on substantially all of the other assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations on liens contained in the indenture governing the Company's outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of $200 million. The Company may borrow at the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, each as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. The Revolving Facility places restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limits on capital expenditures, liens, investments, sale or pledge of assets, prepayment of debt, sale and leaseback transactions, dividend payments, and incurrence of debt or guarantees. Financial covenants include minimum levels of domestic EBITDA, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Tangible Net Worth, each as defined in the agreement.

    The Term Loan is maintained with a syndicate of lenders and is secured by a senior lien on the real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and a junior lien

5


on substantially all of the other assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations on liens contained in the indenture governing the Company's outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of $200 million. Monthly interest payments are based on the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement. The principal matures on July 11, 2004. Net proceeds from the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries must be applied to the reduction of the Term Loan principal, subject to certain exceptions as defined in the agreement. Other restrictions and financial covenants contained in the Term Loan are consistent with those in the Revolving Facility.

    In connection with the Term Loan, various subsidiaries of Unitrin, Inc., a significant shareholder of the Company, owning approximately 22% of the Company's outstanding common shares, have entered into assignment and acceptance agreements with the lenders of the Term Loan, with interests totaling $31.5 million.

    On September 13, 2001, certain of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrower") entered into a secured revolving credit facility and related secured overdraft facility (collectively, the "UK Facility") with a bank. The UK Facility matures on September 13, 2003 and may be extended in one-year increments at the discretion of the bank. The UK Facility has committed capacity of up to £15.0 million and is secured by substantially all the assets of the Borrower. Borrowing availability, as defined in the agreement, is based on property and eligible levels of accounts receivable. The Company may borrow at the LIBOR rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. The UK Facility places restrictions on the Borrower, including limits on liens, investments, sale or pledge of assets, dividend payments, and incurrence of debt or guarantees. Net proceeds from the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment of the Borrower must be applied to the reduction of any outstanding loan balance. The UK Facility includes cross default provisions to the financial covenants included in the Company's Revolving Facility.

    As of September 30, 2001, $75 million was outstanding under the Term Loan at an annual interest rate of 13.00%, $40 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility at an annual interest rate of 6.59% and no borrowings were outstanding under the UK Facility.

Interest, net   $ 23,838   $ 22,498   $ 6,448   $ 6,717  
   
 
 
 
 

5. Earnings (Loss) per Share and Shareholders' Investment

    Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable for the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using basic weighted average shares plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock" method.

6


    Shares used for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were computed as follows:

 
  Nine Months Ended
September 30,

  Three Months Ended
September 30,

 
  2001
  2000
  2001
  2000
Weighted average common shares—Basic   56,727,476   55,659,915   57,167,152   55,866,622
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and stock options       98,518        
   
 
 
 
Weighted average shares—Diluted   56,727,476   55,758,433   57,167,152   55,866,622
   
 
 
 

    At September 30, 2001 and 2000, Company employees and directors held options to purchase 5,629,821 and 5,396,500 shares, respectively, of Company common stock that were antidilutive to the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation. These options could become dilutive in future periods if the average market price of the Company's common stock exceeds the exercise price of the outstanding options and the Company reports net earnings. For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, diluted weighted average shares exclude 368,707 and 368,710 weighted average unvested restricted shares due to the Company reporting a net loss. For the three month period ended September 30, 2000, diluted weighted average shares exclude 294,796 weighted average unvested restricted shares due to the Company reporting a net loss.

    In August 2001, the Company extended to its employees a tender offer to exchange on a four-for-one basis certain outstanding stock options granted during the period June 1, 1999 through May 31, 2000 for restricted shares of the Company's common stock. On the exchange date, October 8, 2001, options to purchase 1,271,500 shares were tendered by employees and canceled and 317,884 shares of restricted stock were issued under the Company's stock incentive plans. The restricted shares vest over a three year period, with one third of the restricted shares vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the exchange date.

6. Comprehensive Loss

    The Company's comprehensive loss amounts were computed as follows (thousands of dollars):

 
  Nine Months Ended

Comprehensive loss   $ (267,569 ) $ (6,677 ) $ (243,911 ) $ (14,154 )
   
 
 
 
 

7. Segment Reporting

    The Company has three reportable segments, Automated Data Systems ("ADS"), Integrated Production Systems ("IPS") and Advanced Manufacturing Equipment ("AME"). Segments are determined principally on the basis of their products and service. The ADS segment is comprised of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Intermec Technologies Corporation. The IPS segment includes Lamb Machining Systems division, Lamb Body & Assembly Systems division and Landis Grinding Systems division. The AME segment represents the Cincinnati Machine division. For evaluation purposes, the Company further aggregates the IPS and AME reportable segments into the Industrial

7


Automation Systems ("IAS") business. The Company uses operating profit or loss, which is computed by adding net interest expense to earnings or loss before taxes on income, to evaluate performance.

    Corporate and other amounts include corporate operating costs and currency transaction gains and losses. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the Company. Intrasegment transactions have been eliminated and there are no material intersegment transactions.

    Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairment:  In the third quarter 2001, growing evidence of a recessionary environment, intensified by the September 11 attacks, caused the Company to have a less favorable revenue outlook and accordingly the Company assessed its goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. Due primarily to this poor market outlook and uncertainty as to its impact on the Company's results, the Company recorded non-cash charges to write off remaining goodwill associated with its ADS and AME segments of $222.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Additional non-cash charges of $8.6 million and $9.8 million were recorded to reduce the book value of ADS and AME property, plant and equipment, respectively, to their estimated fair values. The estimated fair value of these long-lived assets including goodwill was computed based on discounted expected future cash flows from the related operations.

    IPS Facilities Consolidations:  During the second quarter 2001, the IPS segment initiated closure of two underutilized U.S. facilities and consolidation of these operations into other IPS units, resulting in the accrual of severance costs for 217 employees totaling $3.0 million and other plant closure costs of $1.6 million. A significant portion of these exit activities occurred in the third quarter and the severance accrual was reduced to $0.4 million at September 30, 2001. The exit activities are expected to be substantially complete during the fourth quarter of 2001. In connection with this action, the Company reviewed for impairment the related long-lived assets, including goodwill. As a result, the Company recorded in the second quarter non-cash goodwill impairment of $31.0 million. The estimated fair value of these long-lived assets including goodwill was computed based on discounted expected future cash flows from these operations. During the third quarter of 2001, the IPS segment initiated closure of an additional facility and consolidation of its operations into other IPS units. This action, which is expected to be substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2001, resulted in the accrual of severance costs for 88 employees totaling $1.2 million and other plant closure costs of $0.4 million.

9. Other Income

    Reversion of Pension Plan Assets:  In June of 2001, the Company completed a partial settlement of its defined benefit pension plan obligations through the purchase of nonparticipating annuity contracts. In connection with the settlement, surplus plan assets were reverted to the Company. The Company received net cash of $122.0 million and real estate with a fair value of $15.3 million. The settlement resulted in a net pre-income tax book gain of $75.1 million after excise taxes totaling $34.9 million. The Company also reduced the related prepaid pension asset in accordance with Statement of Financial

9


Accounting Standards No. 88 "Employer's Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination of Benefits."

    Gain on Sale of Business:  In June 2000, the Company sold the ADS segment's Amtech transportation systems operations ("Amtech") and received cash proceeds of approximately $88.0 million. The one-time gain from the sale of Amtech was $44.7 million. The net assets and results of operations of Amtech are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

10. Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill impairment and nondeductible excise taxes relating to the second quarter reversion of surplus pension plan assets. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2001 reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill impairment.

11. Related Party Transactions

    The Company leased executive offices that are located in a building that was owned by the UNOVA Master Trust, an entity which holds the assets of the Company's primary U.S. pension plans. In conjunction with the reversion of surplus pension plan assets in June 2001, ownership of the building was transferred to the Company and the lease agreement was terminated. Rental expense under the provisions of this lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $0.4 million, incurred prior to the June transfer. Rental expense under the provisions of this lease for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2000 was $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

    Unitrin, Inc., a significant shareholder of the Company, holds an interest of $31.5 million in the Term Loan (See Note 3).

12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

    On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").

    Due to its global operations, the Company's cash flows and earnings are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk resulting principally from the sale of certain of its inventory in U.S. dollars to its foreign subsidiaries and other external foreign sales. The Company's use of derivatives is limited to foreign currency exchange contracts entered into to limit this exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company enters into these contracts with major financial institutions to minimize its risk of credit loss. The Company's policies do not permit active trading of or speculation in derivative financial instruments. The Company's policy is to hedge major foreign currency cash flow exposures through foreign exchange forward contracts at amounts up to 100% of such cash flows. The Company designates certain of these foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedging instruments under SFAS 133.

    The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with aggregate U.S. dollar notional amounts of $75.8 million and $224.7 million as of January 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001, respectively, with average durations of less than three months. The fair value of such contracts at both January 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001 was not material. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 was not material. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 discontinues the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations effective July 1, 2001 and establishes new criteria for distinguishing goodwill and other intangibles acquired. SFAS 142, which becomes effective for the Company January 1, 2002, provides guidance on post-acquisition accounting for goodwill and intangibles, including the discontinuance of goodwill amortization, in favor of periodic impairment testing. The Company's operating results for the nine months ended September 2001 include $9.1 million of amortization related to goodwill written off in the second and third quarters of 2001. Amortization on the remaining goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $2.2 million. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company will cease amortization on its remaining goodwill balances on January 1, 2002.

    In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. The statement becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

    In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The statement becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

    The Company has three reportable segments, Automated Data Systems ("ADS"), Integrated Production Systems ("IPS") and Advanced Manufacturing Equipment ("AME"). Segments are determined principally on the basis of their products and service. The ADS segment is comprised of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Intermec Technologies Corporation ("Intermec"). The IPS segment includes Lamb Machining Systems division, Lamb Body & Assembly Systems division and Landis Grinding Systems division. The AME segment represents the Cincinnati Machine division. For evaluation purposes, the Company further aggregates the IPS and AME reportable segments into the Industrial Automation Systems ("IAS") business. Sales and service revenues and segment operating profit (loss) for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows (thousands of dollars):

Sales and Service Revenues and Segment Operating Profit (Loss)

    Total sales and service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $230.7 million, or 16%, compared with the corresponding prior year period. Total segment operating profit was $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to a segment operating loss of $1.9 million for the corresponding prior year period.

    For the three months ended September 30, 2001, total sales and service revenues decreased $80.6 million, or 18%, compared with the corresponding prior year period. Total segment operating

12


profit was $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to a segment operating loss of $6.5 million for the corresponding prior year period.

    Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 include the ADS segment's Amtech transportation systems operations ("Amtech") which were sold in June 2000.

    Automated Data Systems:  ADS segment revenues for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001 were $502.5 million and $142.9 million, respectively. This compares to ADS segment revenues of $560.9 million, which include Amtech revenues of $41.4 million, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 and $161.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2000. Excluding Amtech, ADS revenues decreased 3% and 12% for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods.  The decline in revenues is due to weakness in the ADS segment's markets with 90% of the third quarter 2001 decline attributed to North America. By product line, the largest decrease occurred for printer & media products, followed by systems & solutions products, and service. During the second quarter 2001, the Company settled a dispute with Compaq Computer Corporation regarding the Company's battery power-management patents. The specific terms of the settlement are confidential. Accordingly, ADS revenues for the nine months ended September 31, 2001 include significant royalty income.

    For the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, ADS reported operating losses of $8.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, before goodwill impairment and special charges of $230.6 million. This compares to operating losses of $44.2 million and $21.9 million in the corresponding prior year periods. The improvement in operating profit reflects significant reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and higher product and service gross margin percentages, offset partially by the impact on gross margin due to the lower revenue level. On a year-to-date basis product and service gross margins have improved more than one point largely as a result of efficiencies within the service organization. The 2001 year-to-date results reflect significant gross margin contributed by royalties.

    During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the ADS segment recorded non-cash goodwill and other long-lived assets impairments of $230.6 million. These amounts are reported as goodwill impairment and special charges. See discussion under the heading "Goodwill Impairment and Special Charges" below. The Company does not expect near-term improvement in the ADS revenue trend. Additional actions that are anticipated to reduce costs and headcount are expected during the fourth quarter of 2001.

    Integrated Production Systems:  IPS segment revenues decreased $132.8 million, or 21%, and $46.1 million, or 22%, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared with the corresponding prior year periods. Related operating profit decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and increased $1.9 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared with the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease in revenues reflects a global decline in capital spending primarily by the North American automotive industry. Despite the revenue declines, operating profit as a percentage of sales increased to 7.8% and 11.0% for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to 6.2% and 7.8% for the corresponding prior year periods. This improvement reflects better overall contract margins and an improved balance of business between the segment's U.S. and U.K. operations. IAS experiences lower profit margins in the early stages of long-term contracts until development risks have been mitigated. The third quarter 2001 operating profit benefited from improved performance on contracts in their final phases of manufacturing, delivery and installation.

13


    Backlog for the IPS segment was $328.8 million at September 30, 2001 compared to $448.0 million at December 31, 2000. Weakness in the automotive markets has resulted in a trend of declining IPS backlog. This trend was intensified by poor macroeconomic conditions in the third quarter of 2001 and the tragic events of September 11th. The Company does not expect near term improvement, indicating projected lower IPS revenue performance for at least the first half of 2002.

    Revenue declines have necessitated cost reduction actions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the IPS segment has recorded severance and facility consolidation costs of $6.2 million and non-cash goodwill impairment of $31.0 million. These amounts are reported as goodwill impairment and special charges. See discussion under the heading "Goodwill Impairment and Special Charges" below. Inventory writedowns of $2.0 million and receivable allowances of $5.0 million relating to these operations are included in the IPS operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Additional actions that are anticipated to reduce costs and headcount are expected during the fourth quarter of 2001.

    Advanced Manufacturing Equipment:  AME segment revenues decreased $39.5 million, or 20%, and $15.5 million, or 24%, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared with the corresponding prior year periods. Before goodwill impairment and special charges of $25.4 million, AME incurred operating losses of $7.2 million and $1.6 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared with operating profit of $2.3 million and operating loss of $1.3 million in the corresponding prior year periods. AME revenues continue a trend of decline. Weak domestic machine tool markets, and particularly the aerospace related component, were further impacted by macroeconomic conditions during the third quarter 2001. Revenue declines and the related reduction in contributed gross margin have resulted in increased operating losses in 2001. AME backlog was $64.8 million at September 30, 2001 compared to $66.9 million at December 31, 2000.

    During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the AME segment recorded non-cash goodwill and other long-lived assets impairments of $25.4 million. These amounts are reported as goodwill impairment and special charges. See discussion under the heading "Goodwill Impairment and Special Charges" below. The Company does not expect near-term improvement in the AME revenue trend. Additional actions that are anticipated to reduce costs and headcount are expected during the fourth quarter of 2001.

Costs and Expenses

    Cost of sales decreased $206.5 million from $1,065.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $858.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and decreased $70.7 million from $332.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $261.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in cost of sales reflects the lower sales volume in 2001 and improved gross margins for both the ADS and IPS segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cost of sales includes second quarter inventory writedowns of $5.0 million and $2.0 million at the ADS and IPS segments, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and decreased from 76% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $272.2 million and $82.0 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared with SG&A expenses of $313.6 million and $104.7 million for the respective nine and three months ended September 30, 2000.

14


The 2001 reductions in SG&A are principally the result of lower Intermec spending and the sale of Amtech, offset partially by costs associated with the Company's refinancing activities during the first half of 2001.

    The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense to $46.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $51.0 for nine months ended September 30, 2000 reflects the sale of Amtech in June 2000. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense to $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 reflects facilities consolidation in the ADS segment, as well as reduced amortization in the IPS segment, due to the aforementioned second quarter impairment of goodwill.

    Net interest expense was $23.8 million and $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increased interest expense is attributable to higher average interest rates on the Company's borrowings for the first nine months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Net interest expense was $6.4 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease is due to reduced levels of debt during the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, partially offset by the effect of higher average interest rates.

Goodwill Impairment and Special Charges

    In the third quarter 2001, growing evidence of a recessionary environment, intensified by the September 11 attacks, caused the Company to have a less favorable revenue outlook and accordingly the Company assessed its goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. Due primarily to this poor market outlook and uncertainty as to its impact on the Company's results, the Company recorded non-cash charges to write off remaining goodwill associated with its ADS and AME segments of $222.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Additional non-cash charges of $8.6 million and $9.8 million were recorded to reduce the book value of ADS and AME property, plant and equipment, respectively, to their estimated fair values. The estimated fair value of these long-lived assets including goodwill was computed based on discounted expected future cash flows from the related operations.

    During the second quarter 2001, the IPS segment initiated closure of two underutilized U.S. facilities and consolidation of these operations into other IPS units, resulting in the accrual of severance costs for 217 employees totaling $3.0 million and other plant closure costs of $1.6 million. A significant portion of these exit activities occurred in the third quarter and the severance accrual was reduced to $0.4 million at September 30, 2001. The exit activities are expected to be substantially complete during the fourth quarter of 2001. In connection with this action, the Company reviewed for impairment the related long-lived assets, including goodwill. As a result, the Company recorded in the second quarter non-cash goodwill impairment of $31.0 million. The estimated fair value of these long-lived assets including goodwill was computed based on discounted expected future cash flows from these operations. During the third quarter of 2001, the IPS segment initiated closure of an additional facility and consolidation of its operations into other IPS units. This action, which is expected to be substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2001, resulted in the accrual of severance costs for 88 employees totaling $1.2 million and other plant closure costs of $0.4 million.

Other Income

    Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 represents the second quarter gain of $75.1 million related to the reversion of surplus pension plan assets (see discussion under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Other income for the nine months ended

15


September 30, 2000 of $44.7 million represents the gain from the sale of the ADS segment's Amtech transportation systems operations.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill impairment and nondeductible excise taxes relating to the second quarter reversion of surplus pension plan assets. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2001 reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill impairment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash and marketable securities decreased from $106.8 million at December 31, 2000 to $56.5 million at September 30, 2001. Total debt decreased from $448.9 million at December 31, 2000 to $328.50 million at September 30, 2001. Net debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, decreased $70.1 million to $272.0 million at September 30, 2001 compared to $342.1 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease in net debt reflects $122.0 million cash received from the reversion of surplus pension plan assets and $38.6 million of cash flow generated from normal operations, offset by the $90.5 million impact of terminating the Company's accounts receivable securitization agreements.

    On July 12, 2001, the Company entered into two secured long-term credit facilities with aggregate committed capacity of up to $275 million: a $200 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and a $75 million secured term loan (the "Term Loan"). In conjunction with the new facilities, the Company refinanced and terminated its existing $400 million secured credit facility and related agreements.

    The Revolving Facility is maintained with a syndicate of lenders and matures on July 11, 2004. Borrowing availability is subject to a Borrowing Base calculation, as defined in the agreement, based on eligible levels of accounts receivable and inventory. The Revolving Facility is secured by a junior lien on the real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and a senior lien on substantially all of the other assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations on liens contained in the indenture governing the Company's outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of $200 million. The Company may borrow at the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, each as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. The Revolving Facility places restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limits on capital expenditures, liens, investments, sale or pledge of assets, prepayment of debt, sale and leaseback transactions, dividend payments, and incurrence of debt or guarantees. Financial covenants include minimum levels of domestic EBITDA, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Tangible Net Worth, each as defined in the agreement.

    The Term Loan was obtained from a syndicate of lenders and is secured by a senior lien on the real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and a junior lien on substantially all of the other assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations on liens contained in the indenture governing the Company's outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of $200 million. Monthly interest payments are based on the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement. The principal matures on July 11, 2004. Net proceeds from the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries must be applied to the reduction of the Term Loan principal, subject to certain exceptions as defined in the agreement. Other restrictions and financial covenants contained in the Term Loan are consistent with those in the Revolving Facility.

16


    On September 13, 2001, certain of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrower") entered into a secured revolving credit facility and related secured overdraft facility (collectively, the "UK Facility") with a bank. The UK Facility matures on September 13, 2003 and may be extended in one-year increments at the discretion of the bank. The UK Facility has committed capacity of up to £15.0 million and is secured by substantially all the assets of the Borrower. Borrowing availability, as defined in the agreement, is based on property and eligible levels of accounts receivable. The Company may borrow at the LIBOR rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. The UK Facility places restrictions on the Borrower, including limits on liens, investments, sale or pledge of assets, dividend payments, and incurrence of debt or guarantees. Net proceeds from the sale of real estate, machinery and equipment of the Borrower must be applied to the reduction of any outstanding loan balance. The UK Facility includes cross default provisions to the financial covenants included in the Company's Revolving Facility.

    As of September 30, 2001, $75.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan at an annual interest rate of 13.00%, $40.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility at an annual interest rate of 6.59%, and no borrowings were outstanding under the UK Facility. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had additional availability of $31.4 million under the Revolving Facility and availability of £15.0 million under the UK Facility.

    In June of 2001, the Company completed a partial settlement of its defined benefit pension plan obligations through the purchase of nonparticipating annuity contracts. In connection with the settlement, surplus plan assets were reverted to the Company. The Company received net cash of $122.0 million and real estate with a fair value of $15.3 million. The settlement resulted in a net pre-income tax book gain of $75.1 million after excise taxes totaling $34.9 million. The Company also reduced the related prepaid pension asset in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88 "Employer's Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination of Benefits."

    For the period from June 30, 1999 to February 8, 2001, the Company sold interests in a revolving pool of its trade accounts receivable to a financial institution which issues short-term debt backed by receivables acquired in similar transactions. In connection with the Company's refinancing activities, on February 8, 2001 these arrangements were terminated and the Company repurchased the financial institution's interest in the pool of trade receivables for approximately $90.5 million in cash.

    The Company is currently in compliance with its debt covenants. Macroeconomic uncertainties combined with expected restructuring activities in the fourth quarter 2001 present an additional challenge to maintaining these covenants over the next several quarters. However, due to the expected positive impact of contemplated restructuring activities, combined with the over collateralized nature of our financing agreements and our demonstrated ability to generate liquidity, management believes that the Company can maintain access to adequate funding to meet its expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 discontinues the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations effective July 1, 2001 and establishes new criteria for distinguishing goodwill and other intangibles acquired. SFAS 142, which becomes effective for the Company January 1, 2002, provides guidance on post-acquisition accounting for goodwill and intangibles, including the discontinuance of goodwill amortization, in favor of periodic

impairment testing. The Company's operating results for the nine months ended September 2001 include $9.1 million of amortization related to goodwill written off in the second and third quarters of 2001. Amortization on the remaining goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $2.2 million. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company will cease amortization on its remaining goodwill balances on January 1, 2002.

    In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. The statement becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

    In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The statement becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its short-term and long-term borrowings and to foreign exchange rate risk with respect to its foreign operations and from foreign currency transactions.

Interest Rates:

    On July 12, 2001, the Company entered into two secured long-term credit facilities with aggregate committed capacity of up to $275 million: a $200 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and a $75 million secured term loan (the "Term Loan"), both with variable interest rates. In conjunction with the new facilities, the Company refinanced and terminated its existing secured credit facility and related agreements. As of September 30, 2001, $75 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, at an annual interest rate of 13.00%, and $40 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility at annual interest rate of 6.59% See discussion of the Company's credit facilities under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2 of this quarterly report.

    The information presented below summarizes the Company's cash flows for its borrowings as of September 30, 2001, reflecting the impact of the refinancing activities discussed above. Variable interest rates disclosed represent the weighted-average rates of the borrowings at September 30, 2001. Fair values for fixed rate borrowings have been determined based on recent market trade values. The fair values for variable rate borrowings approximate their carrying value.

Dear Sirs

    Barclays Bank PLC (the "Bank") is pleased to offer to provide in aggregate short term facilities of up to £14,000,000 (fourteen million pounds sterling) to UNOVA U.K. Limited, Cincinnati Machine U.K. Limited and Intermec Technologies U.K. Limited (together the "Borrowers" and each a "Borrower") subject to the terms and conditions set out below.

    Capitalised words used below shall have the meanings given to them in clause 17 and elsewhere in this Facility Letter.

    The Schedules attached hereto form part of the terms and conditions of this Facility Letter.

    Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out in clause 18 below, the Facility will be available for utilisation by the Borrowers, subject to the following terms and conditions:

    1.  Options Available Within and Utilisation of the Facility

    1.1 The Facility may be utilised by way of the following options and in accordance with the provisions of the Schedules related thereto:

      sterling and/or currency money market loans (the "Sterling/Currency MML") (see Schedule A) and/or bonds, guarantees and indemnities (the "Ancillary Facility") (see Schedule B).

    Within the Facility, the aggregate of the liabilities due, owing or incurred thereunder shall not at any time exceed £14,000,000 (or its currency equivalent). Within the Ancillary Facility, the aggregate of the bonds, guarantees and indemnities issued thereunder shall not at any time exceed £6,000,000 (or its currency equivalent).

    1.2 The sterling equivalent of the currency or currencies utilised or available to be utilised under the Facility may be calculated by the Bank at any time by reference to the Bank's spot rate of exchange in the London Foreign Exchange Market for the sale of the relevant currency or currencies for sterling.

    2.  Availability

    If on the day of utilisation:

    (a) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

    (b) the representations and warranties detailed within clause 9 below are true on such day,

    then the Facility is available for utilisation until the second anniversary of the date of acceptance of this letter (the "Expiry Date") and no liability or liabilities may extend more than three months beyond the Expiry Date.

1


    Shortly before the first anniversary of the acceptance of this offer and annually thereafter the Bank agrees to consider in its absolute discretion an extension of the Expiry Date by a further year if requested in writing by the Borrowers. The Bank's agreement to any extension and/or change in any terms and conditions will be notified in writing to the Borrowers.

    3.  Security and Guarantees

    3.1 All indebtedness owing by the Borrowers to the Bank is to be (i) guaranteed by the cross guarantees which are to have been executed in the Bank's standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by each Borrower and UNOVA, Inc. (together the "Guarantors" and each a "Guarantor") and (ii) secured by (a) the debentures which are to have been executed in the Bank's standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by each Borrower and (b) legal charges over the Properties which are to have been executed in the Bank's standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by UNOVA U.K. Limited and Cincinnati Machine U.K. Limited.

    3.2 The Bank may from time to time require the Properties and the Trade Debtors to be professionally valued. The Borrower will pay the costs of one such valuation per Property per annum together with the costs of any such valuation of the Properties and the Trade Debtors carried out where the Bank suspects that a Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

    Mandatory Prepayment

    Each Borrower and UNOVA, Inc. undertakes that within 3 Business Days of receipt of the Disposal Proceeds, it shall (a) apply, or procure the application, in repayment of outstanding liabilities under the Sterling/Currency MML, an amount equal to the Disposal Proceeds by such amount and (b) reduce and cancel the Sterling/Currency MML by an amount equal to the aggregate open market value of each of the Properties disposed of (whether by asset sale or by sale of shares in an entity owning any such Properties) in connection with a disposal referred to in sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of "Permitted Disposal".

    Following a cancellation of the Sterling/Currency MML by the amount referred to in clause 4.1, the Borrowers may request that a portion of the cancelled amount of the Sterling/Currency MML become available for redrawing. Upon receipt of such request the Bank will enter into discussions with the Borrowers and may in its absolute discretion agree that such portion will become available for redrawing.

    5.  Cancellation

    Any undrawn part of the Facility may be cancelled by the Borrowers in minimum amounts of £500,000 and multiples of £50,000 subject to the Borrowers:

    (a) giving the Bank not less than seven Business Days' notice in writing (such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable); and

    (b) paying to the Bank a cancellation fee of 1% of the amounts cancelled together with any accrued non-utilisation fee thereon if such cancellation arises as a result of the Borrowers obtaining a replacement facility for this Facility from a bank or financial institution which is not part of the group comprising the Bank and its subsidiary undertakings.

    The non-utilisation fee will then cease to accrue on such cancelled amounts. Amounts which are cancelled will no longer be available for utilisation.

    6.  Change of Circumstances

2


    6.1 In the event of:

    (a) any change in applicable law, regulation or practice resulting in the Bank being subjected to any new or additional tax, levy, duty, charge, penalty, deduction or withholding of any nature (other than tax on the Bank's overall net profits and gains), or

    (b) any existing requirements of any central bank, governmental, fiscal, monetary, regulatory or other authority in any applicable jurisdiction affecting the conduct of the Bank's business being changed or any new requirements being imposed (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, any resulting from the introduction or operation of the euro and a request or requirement which affects the manner in which the Bank allocates capital resources to its commitments, including its obligations under this Facility Letter,

    and the result is in the sole opinion of the Bank (directly or indirectly) to increase the cost to the Bank of funding, making available or maintaining the Facility or to reduce the amount of any payment received or receivable by the Bank or to reduce the effective return to the Bank, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank on demand such sum as may be certified in writing by the Bank to the Borrowers as necessary to compensate the Bank for such increased cost or such reduction.

    6.2 The Borrowers may, at any time within six weeks after the date of certification from the Bank under clause 6.1, prepay all amounts outstanding under the Facility without penalty and without incurring any cancellation fee (subject to clause 16.3(iv)), by giving not less than five Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Bank to that effect specifying the prepayment date. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay to the Bank all amounts outstanding under the Facility on such date, together with all interest accrued to the date of actual payment and all other sums due to the Bank hereunder. Unless prepayment is made within such period of six weeks, an amount equal to such increased cost or such reduction will be payable by the Borrowers under the preceding sub-clause from the date of such certification.

    6.3 Reference to the cost of funds/sterling deposits and to the London Interbank Market shall, if such cost ceases to be market practice/ordinarily used by the Bank for the purpose of calculating interest on facilities of this kind or such market no longer exists in comparable form, be construed as meaning the appropriate and reasonable alternative cost or source of funds as the case may be, as determined by the Bank.

    7.  Fees

    7.1 An arrangement fee of £70,000 will be payable by the Borrowers to the Bank on acceptance of this offer.

    7.2 A non-utilisation fee at the rate of 0.5% per annum calculated on a daily basis from the date of the Borrowers' acceptance of this offer on the undrawn portion of the Facility, will be payable to the Bank quarterly in arrears and on the Expiry Date.

    7.3 A renewal fee at the rate of 0.25% on the available amount of the Facility will be payable by the Borrowers to the Bank annually in advance with effect from the first anniversary of the Borrowers' acceptance of this offer.

    7.4 Any fee referred to in clauses 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 is exclusive of any VAT which might be chargeable in connection with that fee. If any VAT is so chargeable, it shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Bank at the same time as it pays the relevant fee.

    8.  Legal, Valuation and other Expenses

    Any legal and valuation fees and expenses (including documentation fees) (including any applicable VAT) and other out of pocket expenses (including any applicable VAT) incurred by the Bank in connection with the preparation, execution and implementation of this Facility Letter (and the

3


documents referred to herein) and the enforcement and preservation by the Bank of its rights under this Facility Letter or such documents will be reimbursed by the Borrowers on demand by the Bank on a full indemnity basis (whether or not the Facility is drawn down) and may be debited to the Borrowers' account with the Bank without further authority from the Borrowers. Other than in connection with enforcement or preservation, the Bank will consult with the Borrowers prior to incurring such fees and expenses and shall provide estimates to the Borrowers.

    9.  Representations and Warranties

    9.1 By accepting this Facility Letter, each Borrower makes the representations and warranties contained in (a) to (g) below, and each Guarantor makes the representations and warranties contained in (h) below:

    (a) it has the necessary corporate power and authority to borrow the full amount of the Facility on the terms and conditions set out in this Facility Letter and to perform and observe its obligations under this Facility Letter and it has obtained all necessary approvals, authorisations, consents or clearances of all governmental, judicial or regulatory bodies and authorities required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance hereof and the carrying out of the transactions contemplated in this Facility Letter;

    (b) there is no law, decree or similar enactment binding on it and no provision in any corporate document, mortgage, indenture, trust deed, contract or agreement binding on it or affecting its property which would conflict with or prevent it from borrowing under the Facility, or which would prevent it from observing any of its obligations in this Facility Letter;

    (c) neither its acceptance of this offer nor the performance by it of its obligations or the exercise of any of its rights under the terms of this Facility Letter will result in the existence of, or oblige such Borrower to create, any security interest in favour of any third party (other than the Bank) over the whole or any part of the undertaking or assets, present or future, of such Borrower and there are no subsisting mortgages, charges or other encumbrances affecting any of the undertaking, property assets or revenues of such Borrower other than those detailed within clause 10.1(a) below;

    (d) it is not in breach of any of the limits or restrictions or obligations imposed by any other agreement or instrument and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

    (e) to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, there are no legal or other proceedings pending or threatened before any court, tribunal, commission or other regulatory authority involving it which are likely to be adversely determined against it and which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

    (f)  all factual or financial information provided by or on its behalf to the Bank for the purpose of obtaining the Facility was true, complete and accurate in all material respects at the time it was provided and all forecasts and opinions provided to the Bank for such purpose were honestly made on reasonable grounds after careful enquiry by such Borrower and the most recent accounts provided by the Borrower pursuant to clause 11.1(a) below were prepared in accordance with the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and give a true and fair view of the state of its affairs and disclose all liabilities and unrealised or expected losses required to be disclosed under generally accepted accounting practices;

    (g) no event has occurred between the date to which its latest audited consolidated accounts available to the Bank were prepared and the date on which this warranty is given or deemed to be given which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

    (h) each Guarantor has the necessary corporate power and authority to execute and observe its respective obligations under the guarantees and the security referred to in clause 3 above which constitute that Guarantor's valid and binding obligations and no Guarantor is or would be in breach of

4


any enactment or contractual document of whatsoever nature by reason of such execution and observance and the representations set out in (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this clause 9.1 would remain true if reference therein to each Borrower included reference to each Guarantor.

    9.2 Each Borrower and Guarantor shall be deemed to repeat the representations and warranties contained in this clause 9 on the day of each utilisation (and in any event at intervals not exceeding six months) by reference to the circumstances then existing.

    10. Covenants

    10.1 By accepting this Facility Letter, each Borrower undertakes for so long as any liability remains outstanding hereunder that, save with the prior written consent of the Bank:

    (a) no Borrower nor any UK Subsidiary will create or agree to create or permit to subsist (other than to the Bank) any Encumbrance on the whole or any part of its undertaking, property, assets or revenues, present or future, including uncalled capital, save that this restriction will not be breached by any of the following:

        (i)  the continuance of existing Encumbrances full details of which have been disclosed to the Bank in writing prior to the date of this Facility Letter, provided that the maximum principal amount outstanding and secured by any such Encumbrance is not at any time increased; or

        (ii) the acquisition, after the date of this Facility Letter, of companies and/or properties having or being subject to existing secured borrowings, provided that the maximum principal amount for which such Encumbrance was originally given is not at any time increased and such Encumbrance is discharged or released within 180 days after the date of such acquisition;

        (iii) any Encumbrance over plant, machinery or equipment granted solely in connection with financing or operating leasing arrangements permitted under paragraph (c) of the definition of Permitted Disposal;

    (c) no Borrower nor any UK Subsidiary will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the whole or any part of its undertaking, property, assets or revenues, whether by a single transaction or a number of transactions relating to assets the value of which, when aggregated with the value of all other sales, transfers or disposals of assets made by each Borrower and its UK Subsidiaries in the same accounting reference period, would exceed £3,000,000, calculated at the higher of market value or net book value (such aggregate figure being proportionately reduced or increased for any such period which is less than 360 days or more than 370 days), except that this clause 10.1(c) shall not apply to any Permitted Disposal;

    (d) no Borrower nor any UK Subsidiary will make any material investment in shares, securities or debentures (whether secured or unsecured) of a company or in a business.

    (e) each Borrower shall maintain and procure that each of its Subsidiaries maintains adequate insurance on and in relation to its business and assets with reputable underwriters or insurance

    (i)  (other than Permitted Loans) no Borrower will make any loans or advances to, or enter into any management, consultancy, sale or other agreement of whatever kind with its Parent or any other Subsidiary of its Parent except on arms' length terms for good commercial reasons or in the ordinary course of business and no material amendment shall be made to any such loan, advance or agreement existing at the date hereof which would cause such loan, advance or agreement to infringe this clause 10.1(i);

    (j)  each Borrower's obligations under this Facility Letter shall at all times rank at least pari passu with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of such Borrower, except for any liabilities which would be accorded preferential ranking by statute in a winding-up;

    (k) the claims of the Bank against each Borrower under this Facility Letter shall at all times rank prior to the claims of all other Borrowers and Subsidiaries against such Borrower; and

    (l)  no Borrower will make, and or procure that any of its Subsidiaries will make, any material change in the scope or nature of its business which would constitute a material change in the business of the Borrowers taken as a whole.

    10.2 By accepting this Facility Letter, each Borrower undertakes for so long as any liability remains outstanding hereunder that, save with the prior written consent of the Bank, the amount of outstanding drawings hereunder shall not at any time exceed:

    70% of the value of the Properties; or

    (c) 50% of the face value of the Eligible Trade Debtors of Lamb (a division of UNOVA U.K. Limited); or

    (d) a percentage of the face value of the Eligible Trade Debtors of Cincinnati Machine U.K. Limited to be determined by the Bank; or

    (e) a percentage of the face value of the Eligible Trade Debtors of Intermec Technologies U.K. Limited to be determined by the Bank.

    11. Information

    11.1 Each Borrower undertakes to provide to the Bank:

    copies of its audited consolidated accounts (including profit and loss account and balance sheet) as soon as they are available and not later than 180 days from the end of each accounting reference period together with its quarterly unaudited management accounts as soon as available and within 60 days of the end of each financial quarter except the final quarter which is to be received within 90 days;

    (b) copies of its monthly aged trade debtor analysis as soon as available and within 30 days of the end of each calendar month;

    (c) copies of any circular issued to its shareholders or holders of loan capital at the same time as received by its shareholders or holders of loan capital; and

    within 7 days following request (unless otherwise agreed by the Bank), any other information which the Bank may reasonably request from time to time.

    11.2 UNOVA, Inc. undertakes to provide to the Bank:

    copies of its audited consolidated accounts (including profit and loss account and balance sheet) as soon as they are available and not later than 90 days from the end of each accounting reference period together with its quarterly unaudited management accounts as soon as available and within 60 days of the end of each financial quarter except the final quarter which is to be received within 90 days;

    a copy of each covenants compliance certificate delivered to Co-Agents under Section 5.2(d) of the US Facility Agreement, at the same time as delivered to such Co-Agents; and

    (c) within 7 days following request (unless otherwise agreed by the Bank), any other information which the Bank may reasonably request from time to time.

    11.3 In the event of any Borrower adopting any proposed change in accounting principles for the purposes of its audited consolidated accounts from those on the basis of which its most recent audited consolidated accounts as at the date of this Facility Letter were prepared, then, if the Bank is of the opinion that any such change materially affects any of the financial covenants detailed in clause 10.2 above, it shall be entitled to require such financial covenants to be amended in such manner as it may deem appropriate to reflect such change (but so as to place no more onerous obligation on the Borrowers than the existing financial covenants as if no such change in accounting principles had occurred).

    12. Payments

    12.1 All payments by each Borrower, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, shall be made to the Bank (or such other bank as the Bank may specify from time to time) for value on the due date by such times and in such funds as the Bank may specify as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place for payment, without set-off or counterclaim and free of any deduction or withholding for or on account of tax unless such Borrower is compelled by law to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax.

    12.2 If a Borrower is compelled by law to make any such deduction or withholding, or the Bank is compelled by law to make any payment in respect of tax (other than tax on overall net income), in each case from or in respect of any amount payable or paid by such Borrower hereunder, such Borrower will pay to the Bank such additional amount as is required to ensure that the Bank receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received if no such deduction, withholding or payment had been made.

7


    12.3 All taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld by a Borrower from any amounts payable or paid hereunder shall be paid by such Borrower to the appropriate authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and such Borrower shall, within 30 days of the payment being made, deliver to the Bank evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Bank (including all relevant tax receipts) that the payment has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.

    12.4 The Bank shall be entitled to adjust the dates for the making of payments under the Facility, and the duration of interest periods, where in the Bank's opinion it is necessary to do so in order to comply with the practice from time to time prevailing in the London Interbank Market or any other financial market relevant for the purposes of the Facility.

    (i)  control of any Borrower or UNOVA, Inc. passing or having passed, whether by virtue of any agreement, offer, scheme or otherwise, to any person or persons (including institutions or companies), either acting individually or in concert, without the prior written consent of the Bank, ("control" having the meaning ascribed to it in relation to a body corporate by Section 840 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) provided that an intra-group re-organisation will not give rise to a breach of this clause 13(i) so long as each Borrower remains a wholly-owned Subsidiary of UNOVA, Inc. (whether directly or indirectly); or

    (j)  any Borrower, UNOVA, Inc. or any Subsidiary ceasing or threatening to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business or operations, or selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the whole or a substantial part of its undertaking or assets, whether by a single transaction or a number of transactions, where such cessation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, without the prior written consent of the Bank; or

    (p) any representation or warranty made by any Borrower or UNOVA, Inc. under this Facility Letter or for the purpose of obtaining the Facility, being incorrect in any material respect as at the date on which it is made or deemed to be made,

    then whilst any such Event of Default is continuing, all moneys owing under the Facility shall become repayable forthwith upon written demand by the Bank at any time and no further utilisation may be made under the Facility. The Bank may, at any time after such demand call for payment of full cash cover for all outstanding liabilities under the Ancillary Facility. At any time whilst an Event of Default is continuing the Bank may enforce its rights to appoint an administrative receiver or other enforcement rights under any security provided by the Borrowers in connection with this Facility and may make demand of any Guarantor.

    The Bank reserves the right, at any time following a demand under this clause, to purchase with sterling any currency necessary to convert any amounts outstanding under the Facility together with interest accrued thereon, to sterling whereupon the Borrowers shall then become liable to pay the Bank forthwith the relevant sterling amounts, together with all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank.

    14. Interest on an Overdue Amount

    14.1 Any money payable under this Facility Letter which is not paid when due by the Borrowers shall bear interest on a daily basis from the due date to the date of actual payment. Such interest shall be calculated by reference to successive default interest periods of such duration as the Bank may from time to time select, except that the first such period relating to any overdue amount in respect of the Sterling/Currency MML shall be such as to mature at the end of the interest period current at the time when such amount became due.

    14.2 Interest shall be charged at the rate per annum determined by the Bank to be equal to 1% above the rate which would otherwise have been applicable to such overdue amount under the provisions of the relevant Schedule if such amount had been non-overdue principal (except that in the case of any amount that does not have an applicable interest rate hereunder the rate charged shall be 3% per annum over the Bank's Base Rate current from time to time). Interest so accrued shall be due on demand or (in the absence of demand) on the last day of the default interest period in which it accrued and, if unpaid, shall be compounded on the last day of that and each successive interest period. Interest shall be charged and compounded on this basis both before and after any judgement obtained under this Facility Letter.

    15. Assignment and Transfer

    15.1 No Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under or in respect of this Facility Letter.

    The Bank may, at any time, assign and/or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and/or obligations in respect of the Facility, in whole or in part, to any person or persons and may, subject to obtaining customary undertakings protecting the confidentiality of such information, disclose to any actual or prospective assignee or transferee (or to any other person (i) in connection with an actual or proposed securitisation of all or any part of the Bank's loan assets from time to time or (ii) who may otherwise enter or propose to enter into contractual relations with the Bank in relation hereto) any

10


information relevant to the Facility in the Bank's possession relating to the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries and any related security or guarantee. Other than in connection with an actual or prospective securitisation referred to in (i), the Bank shall obtain the Borrowers' prior written consent to any assignment or transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

    16. Miscellaneous

    16.1 All notifications or determinations given or made by the Bank under this Facility Letter shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower, except in any case of manifest error.

    16.2 No delay or omission by the Bank in exercising any right or power under this Facility Letter shall impair such right or power, and any single or partial exercise of it shall not preclude any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Bank under this Facility Letter are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law.

    16.3 Each Borrower shall indemnify the Bank on demand (without prejudice to the Bank's other rights) for any expense, loss or liability incurred by the Bank in consequence of (i) any failure by any Borrower to borrow in accordance with a notice of drawing given by it to the Bank, or (ii) any default or delay by any Borrower in the payment of any amount when due under this Facility Letter, or (iii) the occurrence or continuance of any event referred to in clause 13 above, or (iv) all or part of the Facility being prepaid or repaid for any reason otherwise than on the maturity of the then current interest period including, without limitation, any loss (other than loss of margin), expense or liability sustained or incurred by the Bank in any such event in liquidating or re-deploying funds acquired or committed to fund, make available or maintain the Facility (or any part of it).

    16.4 Any sum of money at any time standing to the credit of any Borrower with the Bank in any currency upon any account or otherwise may be applied by the Bank, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (without notice to the Borrower), in or towards the payment or discharge of any indebtedness now or subsequently owing to the Bank by such Borrower and the Bank may use any such money to purchase any currency or currencies required to effect such application.

    16.5 If, for any reason, any amount payable under this Facility Letter is paid or is recovered in a currency (the "other currency") other than that in which it is required to be paid (the "contractual currency"), then, to the extent that the payment to the Bank (when converted at the then applicable rate of exchange) falls short of the amount unpaid under this Facility Letter, the Borrower shall, as a separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify the Bank on demand against the amount of the shortfall. For the purposes of this clause the expression "rate of exchange" means the rate at which the Bank is able as soon as practicable after receipt to purchase the contractual currency in London with the other currency.

    16.6 If the UK moves to the third stage of EMU, the Bank shall be entitled to make such changes to this Facility Letter as it reasonably considers are necessary to reflect the changeover to the euro (including, without limitation, the rounding (up or down) of fixed monetary amounts to convenient fixed amounts in the euro and amending any provisions to reflect the market conventions for a facility of the kind contemplated in this Facility Letter).

SCHEDULE A

    Sterling/Currency MML

    The Sterling/Currency MML includes the option not only to draw by way of short term loans in sterling, but also for the Borrowers to draw by way of short term loans in US Dollars and euro if freely transferable and convertible into sterling and available to the Bank in the relevant amount for the relevant period in the normal course of business in the London Interbank Market. The Bank shall be the sole arbiter of the availability of such currencies.

    The Sterling/Currency MML may be drawn in one or more amounts each drawing to be a minimum amount of £500,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) and multiples of £50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) thereafter for periods of a minimum seven days up to a maximum of 12 months at the Borrower's option or other mutually agreed period but no drawing should be made for an interest period with a maturity date of more than three months beyond the Expiry Date.

    When wishing to draw under the Sterling/Currency MML, the Borrower should telephone the Bank's dealers at Global Treasury Services ("GTS") on 0345-231160 on or shortly before the Business Day on which funds are required, stating the currency and the amount of the drawing, the period required and giving instructions for payment of the funds. In the event these instructions do not stipulate that the funds must be credited to the Borrower's current account with the Bank's branch at 210 High Street, Hounslow, Middlesex TW3 1DL (the "Branch") such instructions must be confirmed by letter to the Branch at the earliest opportunity.

    Unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and GTS, the interest rate on each drawing will be the aggregate of the Bank's margin of 3% per annum plus LIBOR (to be conclusively determined by the Bank and dependent upon the conditions prevailing in the London financial markets) and any mandatory costs to compensate the Bank for the cost resulting from the imposition from time to time under the Bank of England Act 1998 and/or by the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (the "FSA") (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies) of a requirement to place non-interest bearing cash ratio deposits or Special Deposits (whether interest bearing or not) with the Bank of England and/or pay fees to the FSA calculated by reference to liabilities used to fund the sum) for the period of drawing.

    Interest will be payable without deduction at the maturity of each drawing, and calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 365 day year for sterling drawings and a 360 day year for currency drawings (or if market practice differs, in accordance with the normal market practice for the relevant currency).

    Each drawing, together with interest thereon, will be repaid on its maturity date in the currency in which such drawing is outstanding in accordance with the provisions of clause 12 of this Facility Letter.
