NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2004

(Amounts in Thousands — except per share data)

NOTE A — Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. 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, 2003.

NOTE B — Acquisition and Dispositions

      On August 23, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Automotive Components Group (“Amcast Components Group”) of Amcast Industrial Corporation. The purchase price was approximately $10.0 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $9.0 million of operating liabilities. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The purchase price and the results of operations of Amcast Components Group prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X. The results of operations for Amcast Components Group have been included since August 23, 2004.

      The tentative allocation of the purchase price has been performed based on the assignment of fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Final fair values will be based primarily on appraisals yet to be performed by an independent appraisal firm.

      The tentative allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

           
Cash acquisition price
  $ 10,000  
Assets
       
 
Accounts receivable
    (8,931 )
 
Inventories
    (1,677 )
 
Property and equipment

Other
    (115 )
 
Liabilities

Compensation accruals

Other accruals

Company recorded accruals for severance, exit and relocation costs in the purchase price allocation. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending accrual balances is as follows:

      On April 1, 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 66% of the common stock of Japan Ajax Magnethermic Company (“Jamco”) for cash existing on the balance sheet of Jamco at that date. No additional purchase price was paid by the Company. The purchase price and the results of operations of Jamco prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X.

      During the first quarter of 2003, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Green Bearing (“Green”) and St. Louis Screw and Bolt (“St. Louis Screw”) for cash of approximately $7.3 million in the aggregate. No gains or losses were recorded on the sales. Green and St. Louis Screw were non-core businesses in the ILS Segment and Manufactured Products Segment, respectively, and had been identified as businesses the Company was selling as part of its restructuring activities during 2002 and 2001.

NOTE C — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 132R, “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” SFAS No. 132R requires, among other things, additional disclosures about the components of pension expense for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company adopted this pronouncement as of December 31, 2003 and included the revised annual disclosure in its 2003 Form 10-K. See Note H to the consolidated financial statements in this report for the required interim disclosures.

      In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Medicare Act, among other things, expanded existing Medicare healthcare benefits to include an outpatient prescription drug benefit to Medicare eligible residents of the U.S. (“Part D”) beginning in 2006. Prescription drug coverage will be available to eligible individuals who voluntarily enroll under a Part D plan. As an alternative, employers may provide drug coverage at least “actuarially equivalent to standard coverage” and receive a tax-free federal subsidy equal to 28% of a portion of a Medicare beneficiary’s drug costs. However, if covered retirees enroll in a Part D plan, the employer would not receive the subsidy.

      The FASB has proposed Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,” to provide guidance on accounting for effects of this healthcare benefit legislation. The FSP would treat the effect of the employer subsidy on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) as an actuarial gain. The effect of the subsidy would also be reflected in the estimate of service cost in measuring the cost of benefits attributable to current service. The effects of plan amendments adopted subsequent to the adoption of the Medicare Act to qualify plans as actuarially equivalent would be treated as actuarial gains if the net effect of the amendments reduces the APBO. The net effect on the APBO of any plan amendments that (a) reduce benefits under the plan and thus disqualify the benefits as actuarially equivalent and (b) eliminate the subsidy would be accounted for as prior service cost.

      The Company has completed its assessment of the provisions of the Medicare Act on its postretirement healthcare plans. The effect of the Medicare Act is a reduction to the APBO of $2.4 million. The effect of the

Medicare Act will reduce the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $.3 million in 2004. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded reduction to the net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $.2 million.

NOTE K — Restructuring Activities

      The Company responded to the economic downturn by reducing costs in a variety of ways, including restructuring businesses and selling non-core manufacturing assets. These activities, which included asset write-downs and other exit costs related to the shutdown of facilities, generated restructuring and asset impairment charges of $19.4 million, $19.2 million and $28.5 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively (of which $1.0 million in 2003, $5.6 million (490 employees) in 2002 and $6.9 million (525 employees) in 2001 related to severance and exit costs). For further details on the restructuring plan, see Note P to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

      The accrued liability balance for severance and exit costs and related cash payments consisted of:

Severance and exit charges
  $ 6,883  
Cash payments
    (2,731 )

      As of September 30, 2004, all of the 525 employees identified in 2001 and 490 employees identified in 2002 had been terminated. The workforce reductions under the restructuring plan consisted of hourly and salaried employees at various operating facilities due to either closure or consolidation.

      Net sales for the businesses that were included in net assets held for sale were $-0- and $1,139 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating income for these entities was $-0- and ($8) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE M — Income Taxes

      The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was 14%, compared to 18% for the corresponding period in 2003. Only foreign and state income taxes were provided for in both periods, because federal income taxes were offset by net operating loss carryforwards that were not recognized previously due to valuation allowances. At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $35.7 million. Tax benefits related to these carryforwards were fully offset by valuation allowances in 2002, because the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position.

NOTE N — Derivatives and Hedging

      The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company has no derivative instruments that are classified as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are classified as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged items are recognized in net income.

      During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into forward contracts, for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in Euros against the US dollar, for a notional amount of $5.1 million, of which $2.2 million was outstanding at September 30, 2004. These transactions are considered cash flow hedges and, therefore, the fair market value at the end of the third quarter 2004 of a $.1 million loss, has been recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Because there is no ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedges, all changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in equity and not included in the current period’s income statement. The $.1 million of loss on the fair value of the hedges is classified in current accrued liabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.

      We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

      We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

      Based upon our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

      We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated March 9, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial information for the three-months and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 is not directly comparable to the financial information for the same periods in 2003 primarily due to acquisitions and divestitures.

Executive Overview

      The Company is an industrial supply chain logistics and diversified manufacturing business operating in three business segments, Integrated Logistics Solutions, or ILS, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. ILS provides our customers with integrated supply chain management services for a broad range of high-volume specialty production components and has a leading position in North America. Our Aluminum Products business manufactures cast and machined aluminum components and our Manufactured Products business is a major manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products. Our businesses serve large, industrial equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in a variety of industrial sectors, including the automotive, heavy-duty truck, industrial equipment, steel, rail, electrical controls, aerospace and defense, lawn and garden, and semiconductor industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note I to the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

      The Company continues to experience the increased sales and profitability it previously forecast for 2004 as the manufacturing economy returns to growth, particularly in three of the Company’s customer segments, heavy-duty truck, semiconductor equipment and equipment for steel manufacturing. Net sales increased 29% in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Net income more than tripled in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.

      Sustained growth in the Company’s sales and profitability from 1993 through early 2000 was followed by declines in later 2000 and 2001, primarily due to economic weakness. The Company’s sales stabilized in 2002 and 2003, declining slightly due primarily to divestitures, and losses (including restructuring and impairment charges) began to diminish.

      The Company responded to the economic downturn by reducing costs, increasing prices on targeted products, restructuring many of its businesses and selling non-core manufacturing assets. Since 2000, the Company has consolidated 28 supply chain logistics facilities, and closed or sold 11 manufacturing plants. In regard to these actions, the Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges in 2001, 2002 and 2003. For more information on these charges, see Note K to the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.

      The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and funds available from an existing bank revolving credit arrangement. The Company may borrow up to $185.0 million under its revolving credit agreement, expiring July 30, 2007, subject to an asset based formula. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $46.3 million of unused borrowing availability from the revolving credit agreement. The Company’s $199.9 million of outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes mature in December, 2007. On November 9, the Company announced that it had commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company intends to fund the tender offer primarily with the proceeds from a new issuance of long-term debt. Funds provided by operations plus available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are expected to be adequate to meet the Company’s cash requirements until 2007.

      The Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw and Bolt (“St. Louis Screw”) and Green Bearing (“Green”) in the first quarter 2003, for cash totaling approximately $7.3 million in the aggregate. The Company acquired the remaining 66% of the common stock of Japan Ajax Magnethermic Company (“Jamco”) on April 1, 2004 for cash existing on the balance sheet of Jamco at that date. No additional purchase price was paid by the Company.

Table of Contents

      The Company acquired substantially all the assets of the Amcast Automotive Components Group (“Amcast Components Group”) on August 23, 2004, for $10.0 million cash and the assumption of approximately $9.0 million of operating liabilities. This acquisition included accounts receivable and inventory of $10.6 million and property and equipment of $16.3 million, based on tentative allocation of the purchase price. Approximately $2.3 million was accrued for severance, exit and relocation costs, of which a balance of $2.0 million remained at September 30, 2004. For more details, see Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herewith.

      Net sales increased 29% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003 ILS sales increased due to general economic growth, and in particular to significant growth in the heavy-duty truck and semiconductor industries. The divestiture of Green reduced ILS sales by $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2004. Aluminum Products sales increased primarily due to volume increases in the automotive industry, as well as $10.2 million in sales resulting from the Amcast Components Group acquisition on August 23, 2004. Manufactured Products sales increased primarily in the induction, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses. Of this increase, $1.2 million was due to the net effect of the second quarter 2004 acquisition of the remaining 66% of the common stock of Jamco, partially offset by the divestiture of St. Louis Screw in the first quarter of 2003.

      Cost of products sold increased 28% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, while gross margin increased to 16.0% from 15.6%. ILS gross margin decreased modestly, primarily due to steel price increases and mix changes. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased due to a combination of product mix and pricing changes and specific one-time costs incurred in the first nine months for product startup, scrap and reserves. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased, primarily as a result of increased sales and overhead efficiencies achieved in the induction business, and the absorption of fixed overhead over a larger sales base.

      SG&A expenses increased 25% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Approximately half of this increase was due to acquisitions, primarily Jamco and Amcast Components Group, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and specific one-time charges and credits, while the remainder was primarily due to increased sales and production volumes. Despite this increase, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased by .3% due both to cost reductions from restructuring and to the absorption of these expenses over increased sales. SG&A expenses were reduced in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 by a $1.7 million increase in net pension credits reflecting improved returns on pension plan assets.

      Interest expense decreased 6% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to reductions in the interest rate on the Company’s revolving credit facility, which became effective in August 2003.

 
Income Tax:

      The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was 14%, compared to 18% for the corresponding period in 2003. Only foreign and certain state income taxes were provided for in both years, because federal income taxes were not owed due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided. At December 31, 2003, subsidiaries of the Company had $35.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. The Company has not recognized any tax benefit for these loss carryforwards.

      SG&A expenses increased 33% for the third quarter of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Approximately half of this increase was due to acquisitions, primarily Jamco and Amcast Components Group, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and specific one-time charges and credits, while the remainder was primarily due to increased sales and production volumes. Despite this increase, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased by .3%. SG&A expenses were reduced in the third quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 by a $.5 million increase in net pension credits reflecting improved returns on pension plan assets.

      Interest expense remained unchanged for the third quarter of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, as reductions in the interest rate on the Company’s revolving credit facility, which became effective in August 2003, were offset by increased borrowings, primarily to support working capital growth and for the Amcast Components Group acquisition.

Income Tax:

      The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was 19%, compared to 62% for the corresponding period in 2003. Only foreign and certain state income taxes were provided for in both years, because federal income taxes were not owed due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided. At December 31, 2003, subsidiaries of the Company had $35.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. The Company has not recognized any tax benefit for these loss carryforwards.

     Liquidity and Sources of Capital

      The Company’s liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from bank credit arrangements. On July 30, 2003, the Company entered into a four-year revolving credit agreement with a group of banks under which it has the ability to borrow up to $165.0 million subject to an asset based formula. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. On November 5, 2003, this credit agreement was amended to provide a facility for the Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this credit agreement, as amended (“Credit Agreement”), which expires on July 30, 2007, will be used for general corporate purposes. On September 30, 2004, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the amount which the Company may borrow to $185.0 million.

      Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed at the Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus 175-250 basis points or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s Debt Service Coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $130.7 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and approximately $46.3 million of unused borrowing availability.

      Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements. The future availability of bank borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the Company’s ability to meet a Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. At September 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

      On November 9, 2004, the Company announced that it had commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. In connection with the tender offer, the Company is also soliciting consents to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes that would, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain default provisions in the indenture. The tender offer will expire on December 8, 2004, unless extended or earlier terminated. Following the expiration of the tender offer, the Company expects to seek to acquire any Senior Subordinated Notes that remain outstanding pursuant to the redemption provisions of the indenture or otherwise. The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made solely pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated November 9, 2004, and related Letter of Transmittal, which include a more comprehensive description of the terms and conditions thereof.

      The principal purpose of the tender offer and consent solicitation is to refinance the Senior Subordinated Notes to extend the maturity thereof with other long-term debt. The Company intends to fund the tender offer and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, including tender and consent premiums as well as accrued interest, with proceeds from a new issuance of long-term debt as well as additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made in conjunction with, and are conditioned upon, the new issuance of such long-term debt. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully complete such issuance and tender offer.

      The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.02 at September 30, 2004 versus 2.29 at December 31, 2003. Working capital increased by $31.4 million to $180.3 million at September 30, 2004 from $148.9 million at December 31, 2003. This increase consisted primarily of accounts receivable and inventories due to increased sales.

      During the first nine months of 2004, the Company used $7.6 million from operating activities as compared to providing $3.7 million in the same period of 2003 due primarily to the change in working capital accounts offset by the increase in net income. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company invested $8.3 million in capital expenditures and used $10.0 million for the Amcast Components Group acquisition. These activities, less a net increase in borrowings of $28.6 million and $.1 million from the exercise of stock options, resulted in a increase in cash of $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2004.

      The Company does not have off-balance-sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. The Company enters into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the US dollar. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At September 30, 2004, $2.2 million of such hedge contracts were outstanding.

      On November 8, 2004 a customer of the Company, Murray, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the US Bancruptcy Code. The Company has accounts receivable of approximately $.5 million from Murray, for which it has adequate reserves. The Company also maintains inventory for this customer. While the Company cannot yet determine whether this event will impair the value of the inventory, Murray has publicly announced its intention to continue operations and that it has secured Debtor-in-Possession (“DIP”) financing. The Company will continue to monitor the situation in the coming months.

Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results

      The Company’s results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months compared to the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter.

      The timing of orders placed by the Company’s customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the Company’s business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Forward-Looking Statements

      This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Certain statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements, including without limitation, credit availability, levels and funding of capital expenditures, trends for the remainder of 2004 and proposed debt refinancings. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions, competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; demand for our products and services; raw material availability and pricing; component part availability and pricing; adverse changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; financial condition of customers, including impact of any bankruptcies; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into its existing operations; changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rates and adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; our ability to meet various covenants, including financial covenants, contained in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes;

increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations including those affecting the environment; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims; dependence on the automotive and heavy truck industries; dependence on key management; and dependence on information systems. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.

Review By Independent Accountants

      The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2004, and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accountants, and their report is included herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

      The Company is exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its floating rate revolving credit facility, which consisted of borrowings of $130.7 million at September 30, 2004. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

      The Company’s foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $1.5 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the United States dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar and the euro. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

      As of September 30, 2004, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

      There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first nine months of 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

      Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the Company’s management to report on, and its independent auditors to attest to, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. The Company is actively continuing its ongoing process, utilizing outside assistance, of documenting, testing and evaluating the effectiveness of, and remediating any issues identified with, its internal control over financial reporting. During this process, a number of such issues were identified, some of which have been completely remediated, while remediation and re-assessment activities continue for others. The process of documenting, testing and evaluating the Company’s internal control over financial reporting under the applicable guidelines is complex and time consuming, and available internal and external resources necessary to assist the Company in the documentation and testing required to comply with Section 404 are limited. While the Company currently believes it has dedicated the appropriate resources and that it will be able to fully comply with Section 404 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and be in a position to conclude that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2004, because (a) the applicable requirements are complex, (b) the testing and evaluation of

internal control over financial reporting are time consuming, (c) the Company’s evaluation must be made as of December 31, 2004 and (d) currently unforeseen events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control could arise, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately be able to fully comply with Section 404 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 or whether it will be able to conclude the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2004.
