ROBBINS & MYERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2002
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Preparation of Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Robbins & Myers, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Company”) contain all adjustments, consisting of normally recurring items, necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of February 28, 2002, and August 31, 2001, the results of their operations for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2002 and 2001, and their cash flows for the six month periods ended February 28, 2002 and 2001. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2—Business Acquisitions

On August 31, 2001, the Company purchased the stock of Romaco N.V., a Netherland Antilles corporation (“Romaco”). The results of Romaco are not included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Income Statement for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2001. Following are the unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of the Company assuming the acquisition of Romaco had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2001. In preparing the pro-forma data, adjustments have been made to the historical financial information. These are primarily interest costs related to financing the transaction, adjustments to corporate costs and income taxes. There is no amortization of the Romaco goodwill included in the pro-forma amounts.

NOTE 3—New Accounting Pronouncement

As of September 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized, but tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The provisions of this accounting standard also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six months of adoption. There were no indicators of impairment identified by the Company as a result of the transitional impairment test.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective September 1, 2001. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization, net of the related income tax effect follows:

		Three Months Ended		Six Month Ended
		February 28, 2001		February 28, 2001
		(In thousands, except per share data)
Reported net income		$	4,639	$	9,223
Goodwill amortization, net of tax			842		1,684
Adjusted net income		$	5,481	$	10,907
Basic earnings per common share
	Reported net income	$	0.42	$	0.84
	Goodwill amortization, net of tax		0.07		0.14
	Adjusted net income	$	0.49	$	0.98
Diluted earnings per common share
	Reported net income	$	0.39	$	0.78
	Goodwill amortization, net of tax		0.06		0.12
	Adjusted net income	$	0.45	$	0.90

NOTE 4—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six month period ended February 28, 2002, by operating segment, are as follows:

	Pharmaceutical			Energy			Industrial
	Segment			Segment			Segment		Total
	(In thousands)
Balance as of September 1, 2001	$	110,159		$	68,026		$	42,463	$	220,648
Goodwill acquired during the period		34,969			0			0		34,969
Translation adjustments and other		(2,450	)		(173	)		236		(2,387	)
Balance as of February 28, 2002	$	142,678		$	67,853		$	42,699	$	253,230

During the quarter ended February 28, 2002, the Company recorded the earnout consideration payment to the former owner of Romaco. The earnout consideration was $32,100,000 and was paid half in cash and half in a 10.00% 5 year subordinated note. The amount of the earnout consideration was recorded as an increase to goodwill. The portion of the earnout consideration that was paid with the 10.00% subordinated note is a non-cash transaction and is therefore not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

As required by SFAS No. 142, intangible assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill must be reclassified. As a result of the Company’s analysis, $3,100,000 of acquisition costs were transferred to goodwill as of September 1, 2001.

     On August 31, 2001, the Company purchased the stock of Romaco N.V., a Netherland Antilles corporation (“Romaco”). Romaco is consolidated in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and is included in the Pharmaceutical Segment. Pro-forma results referenced throughout this discussion give effect as if the acquisition of Romaco had occurred on September 1, 2000.

Three months ended February 28, 2002

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were $130.0 million compared to $104.2 million in the prior year. Pro-forma sales, decreased $11.1 million or 7.9%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had sales of $79.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $42.5 million in fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the Pharmaceutical segment sales increased

10

$.2 million. Pro-forma sales are flat as Romaco’s fiscal 2002 second quarter sales increased $6.1 million, or 16.6%, while the Reactor Systems product platform’s fiscal 2002 second quarter sales declined $5.9 million. Romaco’s increase in sales is due to continued strength in the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. The decline in Reactor Systems sales is attributed to the weak specialty chemical market and slow industrial economy in the U.S. Pro-forma orders for this segment decreased from $77.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to $67.8 million in fiscal 2002. The decrease in pro-forma orders is in the Company’s Reactor Systems business and is again due to the impact of the weak specialty chemical market and slow industrial economy in the U.S. Backlog in this segment decreased to $87.4 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $108.1 million at August 31, 2001.

     The Industrial segment had sales of $27.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $33.2 million in fiscal 2001. This segment is also negatively impacted by the weak specialty chemical market as well as the slow industrial economy in the U.S. Incoming orders in this segment were $27.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $39.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Backlog in this segment decreased to $22.3 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $28.0 million at August 31, 2001.

     The Energy segment had sales of $22.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $28.5 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $5.8 million or 20.4%. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have caused a reduction in exploration and production activities versus the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Incoming orders in this segment declined to $22.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to $29.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Backlog decreased to $5.2 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $7.5 million at August 31, 2001.

     EBIT for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 is $11.2 million compared to $10.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in a $1.4 million reduction in amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. EBIT before amortization was $11.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $12.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $.6 million, or 4.8%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had EBIT before amortization of $9.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the Pharmaceutical segment EBIT before amortization increased $2.3 million. The increase in pro-forma EBIT before amortization is driven by Romaco’s sales growth and lower operating costs in fiscal 2002 due to personnel reductions and lower energy costs.

     The Industrial segment had EBIT before amortization of $.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $3.0 million in fiscal 2001, a reduction of $2.3 million. The reduction is primarily due to lower sales volumes. In addition selling price pressures have reduced gross margins, and the mix of products sold has shifted as sales of higher margin industrial pumps aftermarket products have declined.

     The Energy segment had EBIT before amortization of $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $7.3 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $2.9 million or 39.7%. The aforementioned decline in Energy segment sales reduced EBIT before amortization by approximately $2.3 million. The remaining decrease is due to increased research and development costs, and a change in sales mix from higher margin exploration products to lower margin wellhead products.

     Interest expense increased from $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. This was due to higher average debt levels resulting from the acquisition of Romaco, offset slightly by lower interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt.

     The effective tax rate is 33.5% in fiscal 2002 compared to 34.0% in fiscal 2001.

Six months ended February 28, 2002

     Net sales for the six months ended February 28, 2002 were $269.4 million compared to $200.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Pro-forma sales decreased $5.4 million or 2.0%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had sales of $162.8 million for the six month period ended February 28, 2002 compared to $82.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the Pharmaceutical segment sales increased $6.2 million, or 3.9%. The increase in pro-forma sales is driven by Romaco’s growth due to the strength of the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. However, pro-forma year to date orders for this segment decreased from $154.6 million in fiscal 2001 to $142.2 million in fiscal 2002. The decrease in pro-forma orders is in the Company’s Reactor Systems business and is due to the impact of the weak specialty chemical market and slow industrial economy in the U.S.

     The Industrial segment had sales of $60.2 million for the six month period ended February 28, 2002 compared to $64.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. This segment is also negatively impacted by the weak specialty chemical market as well as the slow industrial economy in the U.S. Year to date incoming orders in this segment were $54.6 compared to year to date orders of $72.7 million in fiscal 2001.

     The Energy segment had sales of $46.4 million for the six month period ended February 28, 2002 compared to $53.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2001, a decrease of $7.5 million or 13.9%. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have caused a reduction in exploration and production activities versus fiscal 2001. Incoming orders in this segment declined to $44.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002, compared to $57.9 million in first six months of fiscal 2001.

     EBIT for the six months ended February 28, 2002 is $23.9 million compared to $20.7 million in the six months ended February 28, 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in a $2.8 million reduction in amortization in the first six months of fiscal 2002. EBIT before amortization was $25.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $24.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, an increase of $.4 million, or 1.6%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had EBIT before amortization of $17.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $9.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the year to date Pharmaceutical segment EBIT before amortization increased $3.0 million, or 20.9%. The increase in pro-forma EBIT before amortization is driven by Romaco’s sales growth and lower personnel costs in this segment.

     The Industrial segment had EBIT before amortization of $3.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $6.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, a reduction of $3.0 million while sales decreased by $4.0 million. The reduction is due to the overall lower sales volumes and reduced selling prices due to the weak markets that this segment sells into. EBIT before amortization has also been negatively impacted by the mix of products sold as the volume of high margin industrial pump aftermarket products has declined significantly.

     The Energy segment had year to date EBIT before amortization of $9.3 million compared to year to date EBIT before amortization of $13.6 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $4.3 million or 31.6%. The aforementioned decline in Energy segment sales reduced EBIT before amortization by approximately $3.0 million. The remaining decrease is due to increased research and development costs, and a change in sales mix from higher margin exploration products to lower margin wellhead products.

     Year to date interest expense increased from $6.0 million in fiscal 2001 to $8.6 million in fiscal 2002. This was due to higher average debt levels resulting from the acquisition of Romaco, offset slightly by lower interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt.

     The effective tax rate is 33.5% in fiscal 2002 compared to 34.0% in fiscal 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) on January 9, 2002. The Agreement provides that the Company may borrow on a revolving credit basis up to a maximum of $180.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the Agreement are due and payable on January 9, 2005. Interest is variable based upon formulas tied to LIBOR or prime, at the Company’s option, and is payable at least quarterly.

     Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 2002 were $18.9 million in earnout payment and acquisition costs related to the Romaco acquisition, $5.3 million in semi-annual interest payments due on the Company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes, $2.8 million for variable pay plans (both included in accrued expenses), $9.6 million for capital expenditures and $1.9 million for refinancing fees paid in connection with the aforementioned amended credit agreement. Cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility funded these cash uses. In addition, the Company received $4.2 million when certain equipment was sold under sale-leaseback arrangements.

     Cash uses in the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $5.3 million in semi-annual interest payments due on the Company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes, $4.0 for variable pay plans, $2.0 million in income tax payments (all included in accrued expenses) and $7.6 million for capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations and net borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility funded these cash uses.

     The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the remainder of fiscal year 2002 operating needs, scheduled debt service and shareholder dividend requirements. The major cash requirement for the remainder of fiscal 2002 is planned capital expenditures of approximately $7.5 million. Capital expenditures are related to additional production capacity, cost reductions and replacement items.

Market Risk

     In its normal operations the Company has market risk exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to these risks, which has been previously disclosed.
