FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share data unless otherwise noted)

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  However, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.  Amounts included in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 were derived from our audited balance sheet.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In this Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “L.B. Foster,” and the “Company” refer collectively to L.B. Foster Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

During 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its railway securement business, Shipping Systems Division (SSD), and its Precise Structural Products business, Precise.  Certain amounts included in the prior year period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation of discontinued operations and other historical changes in the current year period.
