The accompanying Notes are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements. BETHLEHEM STEEL CORPORATION CASE NO. 01-15288 (BRL) THROUGH 01-15302, 01-15308 THROUGH 01-15315 (BRL) NOTES TO AUGUST 31, 2002 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. These Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and should be read together with the audited financial statements in Bethlehem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. During August 2002, Bethlehem announced the permanent closing of a facility for producing large diameter pipe in Steelton, Pennsylvania. As a result, we recorded a $2.5 million charge to account for the required employee benefit costs. During the second quarter of 2002, Bethlehem personnel attended a meeting requested by representatives from New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) (1) to discuss the contents and timing of a Consent Order to conduct a RCRA Corrective Measures Study and (2) to begin to implement an agreed upon plan of remediation at our closed steel manufacturing facility in Lackawanna, New York. Based upon the information received and the conceptual agreements reached at that meeting, we recorded a $20 million non-cash charge to reflect the most current estimate of the probable remediation costs at Lackawanna. The cash requirements for remediation are expected to be expended over a protracted period of years, according to a schedule to be agreed upon by Bethlehem and the NYDEC. 3. Net costs resulting from reorganization of the businesses have been reported in the statement of operations separately as reorganization items. For the month and the eight-months ended August 31, 2002, the following have been recorded ($ in millions): One Eight Month Months ------------------ -------------------- Professional and other fees $ 1.9 $ 11.7 Gains from termination of contracts - (2.0) Interest income - (0.5) ------------------ -------------------- Total $ 1.9 $ 9.2 ================== ==================== 4. Interest at the stated contractual amount on unsecured debt that was not charged to earnings for the eight-months ended August 31, 2002 was approximately $29 million. 5. The income tax benefit recorded in 2002 represents a $10 million tax refund as a result of the "Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002" that was enacted March 8, 2002. The Act provides us the ability to carry back a portion of our 2001 Alternative Minimum Tax loss for a refund of taxes paid in prior years that was not previously available. We received the refund in July 2002. 6. Liabilities subject to compromise at August 31, 2002 follows ($ in millions): August 31, 2002 -------------------- Other postemployment benefits $ 2,038.0 Pension 1,717.2 Unsecured debt 526.7 Accounts payable 198.3 Accrued employment costs 212.7 Other accrued liabilities 174.7 Accrued taxes and interest 77.1 -------------------- Total $ 4,944.7 ==================== 7. In the second quarter of 2002, we acquired the remaining 50% portion of the Columbus Coatings Company (CCC) and Columbus Processing Company (CPC) joint ventures from LTV Steel Corporation. CCC is an automotive quality, hot-dipped galvanized coating line and CPC is a steel slitting facility, both located in Columbus, Ohio. These interests were acquired on June 5, 2002 for cash, a release of LTV's guarantee of CCC's debt and forgiveness of claims against LTV by Bethlehem and CCC. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. CCC's and CPC's results are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Pro-forma amounts for the year are not significant. The value assigned to assets and liabilities acquired follows ($ in millions): Property, plant & equipment $155.3 Debt and capital lease obligation (105.9) Other - net (.3) ------------ Net assets 49.1 Less: Investment in and receivable from joint ventures and LTV (46.7) ------------ Cash purchase price, net of cash acquired $ 2.4 ============ CCC's construction costs were financed in part with a loan under a 1999 agreement with a group of lenders. Bethlehem has guaranteed the full amount of the construction loan. Bethlehem provided CCC's lenders with a collateralized letter of credit for $30 million and a mortgage on our corporate headquarters building as additional collateral. In July 2002, CCC lenders used the letter of credit to reduce the outstanding loan balance by $30 million. Because of our chapter 11 filing, CCC and Bethlehem are in default under the construction loan agreements which would allow the lenders to call the full amount of the loan. We believe that the market value of CCC exceeds the net loan amount. We are working with the CCC lenders and others to resolve open issues or refinance the net outstanding debt. We believe these matters can be resolved without any additional significant impact on our liquidity. 8.
