See accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. 8 9 EAGLE-PICHER HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) A. BASIS OF REPORTING FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Eagle-Picher Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999 included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2000. The financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation. B. BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculation of net income (loss) per share is based upon the average number of common shares outstanding, which was 1,000,000 in the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. The net loss applicable to common shareholders represents the net income reduced by, or the net loss increased by, accreted dividends on preferred stock of $3.0 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $8.7 and $7.8 for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. No potential common stock was outstanding during the nine months ended August 31, 2000 or 1999. C. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the depleted zinc business of Isonics Corporation ("Isonics") for $8.2 million; $6.7 million of which was paid upon closing (financed from the Company's revolving credit facility) and $1.5 million of which consists of contingent cash payments over three years. In addition, the Company negotiated a warrant to acquire four million shares of common stock of Isonics in exchange for materials to be delivered in 2000. This acquisition, which was financed from the revolving credit facility under the Company's credit agreement, was accounted for as a purchase. Effective March 15, 2000, the Company elected to exercise its warrant using a "cashless exercise" feature where the Company will acquire fewer than four million shares of stock and pay for such shares by surrendering a portion of the warrant. The number of shares the Company will receive is currently being negotiated; however, it is expected to be in excess of 3.1 million shares. This investment was accounted for using the equity method. On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired the stock of BlueStar Battery Systems Corporation, a Canadian corporation, for $4.9 million which was financed from the Company's revolving credit facility. This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The proforma effects of these acquisitions will not be material to the Company's 9 10 operations for 2000 and 1999. On September 1, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a plan to explore the sale of several smaller divisions in order to focus on core businesses. On July 31, 2000, the Company sold the assets of the Cincinnati Industrial Machinery Division. On May 31, 2000, the Company sold the assets of the Rubber Molding Division, including the stock of its Spanish subsidiary, Eagle-Picher Rubber Molding S.A. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company sold the assets of the Ross Aluminum Foundries Division ("Ross Aluminum") and the Michigan Automotive Research Corporation ("MARCO") and its interest in the common stock of both units of the Fluid Systems Division in three separate transactions. The aggregate net proceeds of all of the transactions, which were approximately $84.8 million, were used to reduce outstanding debt. The aggregate net gain of these transactions was approximately $12.2 million. All of the divisions which were included in the plan have now been sold. D. INSURANCE PROCEEDS On February 24, 2000, the Company settled claims against a former insurer regarding environmental remediation costs for $16.0 million. The Company received payment of this amount on February 28, 2000. E. LEGAL MATTERS For other information on legal proceedings, see Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999. In addition, the Company is involved in routine litigation, environmental proceedings and claims pending with respect to matters arising out of the normal course of business. In management's opinion, the ultimate liability resulting from all claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. F. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company has two reportable segments: automotive and industrial products. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way management organizes the operating segments within the company for making operational decisions and assessing performance. The operations in the Automotive Segment provide mechanical and structural parts for passenger cars, vans, trucks and sport utility vehicles for original equipment manufacturers and replacement markets. The operations in the Industrial Products Segment produce a variety of products for the aerospace, nuclear, telecommunications electronics, food and beverage and construction industries. The accounting policies used to develop segment information correspond to those disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 1999 included in Form 10-K. Sales between segments are not material. The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to its segments. 10 11 Information about reported segment income or loss is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended August 31 August 31 ---------------- ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------ ------ (In millions of dollars) Net Sales Automotive $109.6 $140.8 $383.5 $405.7 Industrial 88.3 90.5 257.7 269.9 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total $197.9 $231.3 $641.2 $675.6 ====== ====== ====== ====== Income (Loss) Before Taxes: Automotive $ (1.6) $ .4 $ 18.6 $ 8.3 Industrial (4.2) .6 .3 (5.8) Corporate (3.7) (2.7) 3.8 (7.1) ------ ------ ------ ------ Total $ (6.3) $ (1.7) $ 16.6 $ 1.5 ====== ====== ====== ====== As previously mentioned, the Company sold its Ross Aluminum, MARCO and Fluid Systems Divisions in the first quarter of 2000 and its Rubber Molding Division in the second quarter of 2000. All were included in the Automotive Segment. The Cincinnati Industrial Division, which was sold in the third quarter of 2000, was included in the Industrial Products Segment. The net assets of these divisions, which were included in the caption "Net assets of operations to be sold," were $64.2 million as of November 30, 1999. G. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION The indebtedness of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. ("EPI") includes a syndicated secured loan facility ("Credit Agreement") and $220.0 million in senior subordinated notes ("Subordinated Notes"). Both the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by the Company and certain of EPI's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors") including Carpenter Enterprises Ltd., which was acquired in 1999, and Eagle-Picher Acceptance Corporation, which was formed in 1999. Management has determined that full financial statements and other disclosures concerning EPI or the Subsidiary Guarantors would not be material to investors and such financial statements are not presented. The following supplemental condensed combining financial statements present information regarding EPI, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the subsidiaries that did not guarantee the debt. EPI and the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends under the terms of both the Credit Agreement and the Indenture supporting the Subordinated Notes, both of which were filed with the Company's Form S-4 Registration Statement No. 333-49957-01 filed on April 11, 1998 and both of which were incorporated by reference to the Company's Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2000. 11 12 EAGLE-PICHER HOLDINGS, INC.

19 20 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company conducts its business through Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc., ("EPI"), a diversified manufacturing, mining and technology company. EPI conducts its business through both unincorporated divisions and separately incorporated subsidiaries, both of which are referred to herein as divisions. EPI is the Company's only subsidiary, therefore, the Company's results of operations and cash flow approximate those of EPI. References herein will be to the Company, except for instances where it is more appropriate to specifically refer to EPI. Please refer to Note F. contained in Item 1. of this report regarding Segment Reporting. Net Sales. The Company's net sales were $197.9 million in the three months ended August 31, 2000 compared to $231.3 million in the same period of 1999. Excluding the sales of the Ross Aluminum, Fluid Systems, MARCO, Rubber Molding and Cincinnati Industrial Machinery Divisions (the "Divested Divisions"), sales for the quarters ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 were $196.3 million and $200.9 million, respectively, a decline of 2.3%. Sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 were $641.2 million, compared to $675.6 million for the same period in 1999. Sales for the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, excluding the sales of the Divested Divisions, were $598.5 million and $581.6 million, respectively, an increase of 2.9%. Net sales of the Automotive Group declined 2.0% in the third quarter of 2000 and increased 9.7% in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 from the comparable periods in 1999, after excluding the sales of the Divested Divisions. Sales of precision-machined automotive components were down slightly in the quarter due to production slow-downs at two major customers. The sales increase for the first nine months of 2000, due to the acquisition of Carpenter Enterprises, Ltd. on March 1, 1999, has been slightly offset by the discontinuation of certain customer programs, price reductions granted to certain customers and a decline in the value of the euro. Net sales of the Industrial Group, excluding sales of the Divested Divisions, declined 2.7% in the three months ended and 5.1% in the nine months ended August 31, 2000, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1999. In the third quarter, weaknesses in the aerospace products market and defense market continued. Increased interest rates have contributed to weaker demand for wheel-tractor scrapers and forklift trucks. Declines resulting from these factors were somewhat offset by the acquisition of BlueStar Battery Systems Corporation on June 30, 2000 and increased demand for germanium products used in fiber-optics and for semiconductor components. Sales of diatomaceous earth products were relatively flat. Year to date, the results of the weaknesses in the aerospace products and defense markets and wheel-tractor scraper markets have overshadowed volume increases in component parts for other construction equipment, forklift trucks, boron products, germanium products and semiconductor components. 20 21 Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation expense and the cost of sales of the Divested Divisions, was 81.1% of sales in the three months ended August 31, 2000 compared to 79.5% of sales in the same period of 1999. On a year-to-date basis, cost of products sold on the same basis was 79.8% of sales in 2000 compared to 78.8% of sales in 1999. The lower volumes in aerospace products, defense products and wheel-tractor scrapers contributed to these increases through poor overhead absorption. Higher fuel costs contributed to increases in the percentage of cost of products sold to net sales in the diatomaceous earth operations. The process used to dry the diatomaceous earth is very energy intensive. In addition, the precision-machined automotive components experienced higher than expected awards of new business resulting in higher start-up costs for new product launches which contributed to the higher percentage of cost of products sold to net sales in 2000. These increases were partially offset by a reclassification of certain expenses as selling and administrative. Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses, excluding those of the Divested Divisions, were $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared to $14.9 million in the same period of 1999. On a year-to-date basis, selling and administrative expenses, excluding those of the Divested Divisions, were $49.5 million in 2000 compared to $46.4 million in 1999. The increase is attributable largely to the reclassification of certain expenses in 2000 and higher health care expenses. Depreciation. Depreciation, excluding amounts related to Divested Divisions, was $11.0 million and $10.3 million in the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $33.3 million and $29.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In accordance with purchase accounting, a company is allowed one year from the date of an acquisition to finalize its purchase price adjustments. Although Carpenter was acquired as of March 1, 1999, the appraisals necessary to adjust the property, plant and equipment accounts to fair value were not completed and analyzed until November 30, 1999. Therefore, the depreciation expense in the second and third quarters of 1999 does not reflect the total depreciation related to Carpenter. In addition, depreciation increased in 2000 in divisions where significant capital expenditures were made in recent years, notably operations manufacturing precision-machined automotive components and forklift trucks. Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization, excluding amounts related to Divested Divisions, was $4.0 million in the third quarters of both 2000 and 1999, and $11.9 million and $11.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in the nine month period is primarily due to the fact that Carpenter was owned six months in 1999, but nine months in 2000. Management Compensation - Special. Management compensation - special is severance related to the separation from employment of a senior executive. Proceeds from Insurance Settlement. The Company settled claims against a former insurer regarding environmental remediation costs for $16.0 million and received such proceeds in the first quarter of 2000. Gain on Sale of Divisions. On July 31, 2000, the Company completed its program of selling its smaller divisions when it sold the assets of the Cincinnati Industrial Machinery Division. Earlier in the year, the Company sold the assets of its Rubber Molding Division and the stock of its Spanish subsidiary, Eagle-Picher Rubber Molding S.A., the assets of its Ross Aluminum and MARCO Divisions, and its interest in the common stock of its two subsidiaries which combined formed its Fluid Systems Division. The aggregate net proceeds of and gain on these transactions in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 were $84.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared to $14.1 million in the same period of 1999, and $36.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to $37.6 million in the same period of 1999. Despite higher 21 22 interest rates on variable rate debt in 2000, interest expense was lower than that in 1999 due to the application of the proceeds of the sales of the Ross Aluminum, MARCO and Fluid Systems Divisions and the insurance settlement in the first quarter of 2000 to the outstanding debt balances. In the second and third quarters of 2000, the proceeds of the sale of the Rubber Molding and Cincinnati Industrial Machinery Divisions were applied to outstanding debt balances. Income (Loss) Before Taxes. Income (loss) before taxes was $(6.3) million and $(1.7) million in the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $16.6 million and $1.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. When discussing below income (loss) before taxes excluding the Divested Divisions, the assumption has been made that all corporate expenses and interest expenses allocated to the Divested Divisions would have been eliminated due to the sale of those divisions. However, it is unlikely that the impact of the divestitures on corporate expenses would be to reduce them by the full amounts allocated to these divisions since corporate resources are not dedicated to divisions or segments. In the Automotive Group, income before taxes, excluding the results of the Divested Divisions and gains on the sales of the Divested Divisions, was $6.8 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and $10.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. The decline is due to lower volumes of precision-machined automotive products, start-up costs relating to higher than expected awards of new business and a decline in the value of the euro as discussed earlier. In the Industrial Group, the loss before taxes, excluding the results of the Divested Divisions and losses on the sales of those divisions, was $2.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to income before taxes on a comparable basis of $2.2 million for the same period in 1999. Reasons for the decline include the reduced volumes of aerospace and defense products and construction equipment and increased fuel costs discussed earlier. These declines were somewhat offset by reduced interest expense as depreciation outpaced new investment reducing the net asset base in this segment. Corporate income before taxes was $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2000 compared to a loss before taxes of $7.1 million for the same period in 1999. Corporate income has increased primarily due to the $16.0 million insurance settlement received in 2000. Factors offsetting this increase include increased interest allocation and management compensation - special expenses incurred in 2000. Income Taxes. Income taxes and the effective rate of income tax vary for several reasons, the most significant being the tax deductibility of goodwill. A portion of the goodwill amortization relating to the acquisition of Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. is deductible; however, the amount of goodwill that has tax basis changes as liabilities that were contingent for tax purposes at the time of the acquisition are resolved. Amortization of the goodwill related to the acquisition of Carpenter is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill associated with certain of the Divested Divisions was not includable as basis for tax purposes, which resulted in a tax gain in excess of the gain on sales of divisions recognized in the statement of income. Net Income (Loss). The net loss was $4.2 million and $2.1 million in the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 was $5.0 million. The net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 was $0.8 million. Factors contributing to the differences (discussed in detail above) include the effects of the acquisition of Carpenter in the second quarter of 1999, and the aggregate gain from the sale of the Divested Divisions and the receipt of the insurance settlement in 2000, 22 23 The loss applicable to common shareholders was increased to $7.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, by dividends accreted on the 11 3/4% Cumulative Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") of $3.0 and $2.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In the nine months ended August 31, 2000, net income of $5.0 million was reduced by Preferred Stock dividends of $8.7 million to arrive at a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $(3.7) million. The loss applicable to common shareholders was increased by Preferred Stock dividends of $7.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999 from $(.8) million to $(8.6) million. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following are certain financial data regarding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), cash flows and earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends:
Nine Months Ended August 31 ------------------------- 2000 1999 ---- ---- (In millions of dollars) EBITDA $75.0 $87.1 Cash provided by operating activities 38.1 34.9 Cash provided by (used in) investing activities 44.1 (87.2) Cash provided by (used in) financing activities (83.5) 43.5 Preferred stock dividends accreted 8.7 7.8 Earnings/fixed charges and preferred stock dividends 1.17X .86X
EBITDA The Company's EBITDA is defined for purposes hereof as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain one-time management compensation expenses and other non-cash items, such as gains and losses on sales of divisions. EBITDA, as defined herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or to cash flows from operating activities, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of the Company's operating performance or liquidity, respectively. Funds depicted by EBITDA are not available for management's discretionary use to the extent they are required for debt service and other commitments. For purposes of calculating EBITDA below, the assumption has been made that all corporate expenses allocated to the Divested Divisions would have been eliminated due to the sale of those divisions as described under "Results of Operations -- Income (Loss) Before Taxes". The Company's EBITDA, excluding that related to the Divested Divisions, for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 was $74.3 million and $81.8 million, respectively. The decline in EBITDA is attributable largely to the impact of lower volumes of aerospace and defense products and wheel-tractor scrapers, start-up costs relating to higher than expected awards of new automotive business, lower volumes of precision machined automotive products 23 24 increased fuel costs and the decline of the value of the euro. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Cash provided by operating activities was $38.1 million and $34.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and consisted of the following:
Nine Months Ended August 31 --------------------------- 2000 1999 ---- ---- (in millions of dollars) Income (loss) before taxes $16.6 $1.5 Depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs 47.6 46.7 (Gain) on sales of divisions (12.2) - Add back interest expense 36.0 37.6 Interest paid (28.7) (29.5) Income taxes paid, net (6.8) (10.1) Working capital and other (14.4) (11.3) ----- ----- $38.1 $34.9 ===== =====
See "Results of Operations" for discussions concerning income (loss) before taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sales of divisions and interest expense. Differences between interest paid and interest expense result from the timing of the semi-annual interest payment on the Subordinated Notes, which was paid on September 1, 2000 and from the amortization of deferred financing costs. Although income tax expense is higher in 2000, tax payments have been lower to date. This is due to the fact that no Federal income tax extension payment was needed in 2000 for the 1999 tax year; however, a portion of the Federal income tax liability associated with the 1998 tax year was paid in fiscal year 1999. Additionally, 1999 Federal income taxes were overpaid and the excess was used to reduce payments made for the 2000 tax year. Generally, the Company's investment in working capital has decreased in 2000 as a result of lower sales volumes in some instances and better efforts to manage it in others. However, the effect of the lower investment in working capital has been offset by several factors including expenditures in the Automotive Segment for tooling that will be billed back to the customer over the life of the programs, expenditures made to secure a source of germanium, expenditures made for post-closing expenses of divisions sold, and payments of several bankruptcy claims and bonuses which related to the acquisition of the Company in 1998. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Cash provided by investing activities was $44.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000. Cash used in investing activities was $87.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999. In the first nine months of 2000, the Company sold the Divested Divisions for aggregate net proceeds of $84.8 million. Early in the first quarter of 1999, the Company received $12.4 million in cash relating to the sale of the Trim Division. 24 25 On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the depleted zinc business of Isonics, which required $6.7 million cash at the closing. This acquisition was financed from the Company's revolving credit facility. Additional payments totaling $1.5 million are due over the next three years provided certain contingencies are met. The Company also negotiated a warrant to acquire four million shares of common stock of Isonics in exchange for materials to be delivered in 2000. Effective March 15, 2000, the Company elected to exercise its warrant using a "cashless exercise" feature, where the Company will acquire fewer than four million shares of stock and pay for such shares by surrendering a portion of the warrant. The number of shares the Company will receive is currently being negotiated; however it is expected to be in excess of 3.1 million shares. On June 30, the Company acquired the stock of BlueStar Battery Systems Corporation for $4.9 million. The acquisition was financed from the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company's cash requirement for the acquisition of Carpenter in the second quarter of 1999 was $60.2 million, including transaction costs. The Company also assumed $12.4 million in debt in the Carpenter acquisition which was not refinanced. Capital expenditures were $30.5 million and $39.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company does not expect that capital expenditures will exceed $50 million in 2000. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Cash used in financing activities was $83.5 million in the first nine months of 2000, due primarily to repayments of loans under the various credit agreements. The proceeds of the division sales and the insurance proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt. Cash provided by financing activities was $43.5 million for the comparable period in 1999. The Company's borrowings to finance the acquisition of Carpenter were in excess of regularly scheduled debt payments and the 1998 excess cash flow payment required by the Credit Agreement in that period. EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the nine months ended August 31 was 1.17X in 2000 and .86X in 1999. In 1999, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by $6.3 million. The increase in 2000 is due primarily to the receipt of insurance proceeds and the gain on sales of divisions. If these items were excluded from income before taxes, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends would have been .55X and earnings would have been insufficient to cover fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by $20.3 million. The resulting decrease from .86X to .55X is due to flat or declining operating results as discussed in "Results of Operations." LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement of $220.0 million is available for both borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit. At August 31, 2000 the Company had outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the Facility of $101.3 million and $44.2 million, respectively, leaving the Company with available borrowing capacity of $74.5 million. The receipt of the insurance proceeds and the proceeds of the division sales improved the Company's liquidity since November 30, 1999. In addition, the borrowings outstanding on the Company's European lines of credit were substantially reduced with the proceeds of the sale 25 26 of the Fluid Systems and Rubber Molding Divisions. The Company also has an accounts receivable loan agreement ("Receivables Agreement") which has a term of 364 days and which is expected to be renewed over the term of the Credit Agreement. The Company's Credit Agreement was amended, among other things, to change certain definitions used in determining compliance with certain financial covenants and to make corresponding changes to such financial covenants. A complete copy of the amendment is included as Exhibit 10.52. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of all of its credit facilities, including its Credit Agreement and Subordinated Notes, at August 31, 2000. Scheduled debt repayments are $5.3 million in the remaining three months of 2000. In addition to scheduled debt repayments, the Company elected to redeem an $8.0 million industrial revenue bond which had an original maturity date in 2012. No penalties were incurred for this transaction and there was no impact on the Company's liquidity since the letter of credit securing the outstanding industrial revenue bond reserved against the Company's revolving credit facility was canceled. The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to make mandatory repayments of 50% of annual cash flow as defined by the Credit Agreement, the net proceeds from sales of assets (subject to certain conditions), the proceeds of new debt issued and 50% of the net proceeds of any equity issued. No excess cash flow payment is due in 2000 for the year ended November 30, 1999 and the proceeds from the sales of the Divested Divisions are not required to be used to repay debt since such proceeds were reinvested as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Scheduled debt payments under the Credit Agreement and the industrial revenue bonds for 2001 and 2002 are $20.8 million and $25.6 million, respectively. EPI has reached an agreement in principle to settle the last remaining claim from its chapter 11 reorganization; however, details of the settlement are still being negotiated. It is anticipated the second and final bankruptcy distribution of approximately $11.3 million will be made in the first quarter of 2001, after the settlement of this last claim is final. Cash and cash equivalents were $8.8 million at August 31, 2000. The Company estimates that it needs to maintain an ongoing cash balance of approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million for operations. The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for debt service and capital maintenance. The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and available borrowings under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its anticipated liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. In the event that the foregoing sources are not sufficient to fund the Company's expenditures and service its indebtedness, the Company would be required to raise additional funds. EURO CONVERSION On January 1, 1999, eleven members of the European Union adopted the euro as their common legal currency and established fixed conversion rates between their existing local currencies and the euro. During the transition period, which runs from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2002, transactions may take place using either the euro or a local currency. However, conversion rates will no longer be computed directly from one local currency to another, but be converted from one local currency into an amount denominated in euro, then be converted from the euro denominated amount into the second local currency. On July 1, 2002, the local currencies will no longer be legal tender for any transactions. The Company has both operating divisions and domestic export customers located in Europe. In 1999, combined revenues from these sources were approximately 11% of total revenues. The Company has operations in Germany and until May 31, 2000 in Spain, both of which are participating in the euro conversion, and the United Kingdom, which has elected not to participate at this time. Certain of our European operations have adopted the euro as their reporting currency, although many transactions, such as payroll, some billing and vendor invoicing, still occur in local currencies. The remaining operations located in the participating countries plan to make the euro the functional currency sometime during the transition period. The costs associated with the conversion to date have not been material. The Company is currently assessing the competitive impact of the euro conversion on the 26 27 Company's operations, both in Europe and in the United States. In markets where sales are made in U.S. dollars, there may be added pressures to denominate sales in the euro. The Company periodically reviews all of its operations' currency exposures and intends to mitigate a significant portion of currency exposure through both internal hedging and currency contracts with third party intermediaries. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the its intended use and the resulting designation. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." Based on the new effective date, the Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending November 30, 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amended certain provisions of SFAS No. 133. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 will have on its financial position and the results of its operations. Other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB are not applicable to the Company. RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS EPI and the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends and other forms of payment in both the Credit Agreement and the Indenture for the Subordinated Notes. Those restrictions generally prohibit the payment of dividends to the Company either directly by EPI or indirectly through any Subsidiary Guarantor. Certain limited exceptions are provided allowing for payments to the Company. Specifically, EPI is authorized to make payments to the Company in amounts not in excess of any amounts the Company is required to pay to meet its consolidated income tax obligations. Additional payments from EPI to the Company are permitted commencing September 1, 2003 in amounts not in excess of the Company's obligations to make any cash dividend payments required to be paid under the Company's Preferred Stock and to make any cash interest payments required to be paid under any debentures issued by the Company in exchange for the Company's Preferred Stock ("Exchange Debentures").

In evaluating such statements, readers should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. 28 29 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK On February 26, 1998, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement ("Swap Agreement") with its lead bank to partially hedge its interest rate exposure on variable rate loans under the Credit Agreement. Both term loans and revolving credit loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to either (a) the average daily rate on overnight U.S. federal funds transactions, or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate shown on Telerate Page 3750 for the applicable interest period ("LIBOR"), plus, in either case, an applicable spread. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 5.805% on a notional amount of $150.0 million and receives LIBOR on that amount, effectively fixing the interest rate on $150.0 million of debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement at 5.805% plus the applicable spread. Loans under the Company's accounts receivable loan agreement ("Receivables Agreement") bear interest at a variable rate equal to market rates on commercial paper having a term similar to the applicable interest period. The Company's industrial revenue bonds ("IRB's") bear interest at variable rates based on the market for similar issues. As of August 31, 2000, there was $171.7 million of variable-rate debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement, of which interest on $150.0 million is essentially fixed by the Swap Agreement. The interest rate risk on the remaining variable-rate debt outstanding under the Credit agreement, the receivables Agreement and Industrial revenue bonds, which in the aggregate totals $87.6 million, has not been hedged. Accordingly, a 1% increase in the applicable index rates would result in additional interest expenses of $0.9 million per year, assuming no change in the level of borrowing. 29 30 PART II.
