Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended June 30, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year ending June 30, 2002. The Company’s period end is the Saturday closest to September 30. For clarity in presentation all periods presented herein are shown to end on the last calendar day of the month. Certain reclassifications of amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been made to reflect comparability.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company is required to apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company is currently assessing the financial impact that SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 will have on its earnings and financial position.

3. Provision for Income Taxes
The tax provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years, and after giving effect to significant unusual items related specifically to the interim periods. The difference between the Company’s reported tax provision, for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the tax provision computed based on U.S. statutory rates is primarily attributable to nondeductible goodwill amortization and unbenefitted foreign losses.
4. Debt and Financial Instruments
In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company repurchased a total of $2 million of its Senior Notes at a discount, resulting in a minimal loss after write off of associated debt issuance costs. The Company plans to hold these repurchased notes until their maturity in February 2003. The balance of Senior Notes held outside the Company after the repurchase and included in the Company’s long-term debt at September 30, 2001 was $107 million.
In September 2000, the Company sold an interest rate floor with a notional amount of $30 million, which requires the Company to make payments if 3-month LIBOR falls below a certain level. Measurement dates and the maturity date match those contained in the January 2000 swap transaction described below. The Company received a payment of $165,000 as selling price for the floor. In January 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction whereby the Company receives a fixed rate and pays a floating rate on the basis of 3-month LIBOR. The January 2000 swap has a three year term and a notional amount of $30 million and effectively converts a portion of the Company's fixed rate borrowings to a floating rate. Measurement dates and the maturity date of the swap match interest payment dates and maturity date of the Company’s Senior Notes. The Company records its swap and floor in its balance sheet at fair market value. There was no net gain or loss resulting from these positions for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
5. Restructuring Charges
As described in Note 9 of the Annual Report, the Company implemented several restructuring plans throughout fiscal 2001 in both the Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration and Filtration Products segments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company spent $0.3 million related to its fiscal 2001 restructuring efforts. Through September 30, 2001, the Company has spent $6.3 million of the $7.2 million restructuring reserve recorded in fiscal 2001 primarily for severance arrangements.
All the fiscal 2001 restructuring efforts are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2002.
6. Sale of Subsidiary
In September 2001, the Company sold its Singapore subsidiary to a subsidiary of its parent, O.Y.L. Industries Berhad (“OYL”), for approximately $13.1 million, which resulted in an immaterial gain after write-off of associated goodwill and intangible assets. The Singapore subsidiary had sales of $3.6 million and $3.2 million, and net income of $75,000 and $429,000, for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down debt. In accordance with its bond indenture, the Company has offered to repurchase up to $13.0 million of its outstanding Senior Notes on a pro rata basis from its existing bondholders.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments- The Company secures pricing on a portion of its copper requirements through forward contracts executed with certain suppliers. At September 30, 2001, contracts for 2.3 million pounds of copper were in place. These contracts have various expiration dates through March 31, 2002.
Environmental Matters - The Company is subject to potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), and other federal, state and local statutes and regulations governing the discharge of pollutants into the environment and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and waste. These statutes and regulations, among other things, impose potential liability on the Company for the cost of remediation of contamination arising from the Company's past and present operations and from former operations of other entities at sites later acquired and now owned by the Company. Many of the Company's facilities have operated for many years, and substances which are or might be considered hazardous were generated, used, and disposed of at some locations, both on- and off-site. Therefore, it is possible that environmental liabilities in addition to those described in Note 15 of the Annual Report may arise in the future. The Company records liabilities if, in management's judgment, environmental assessments or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These accrued liabilities are not discounted. Such estimates are adjusted if necessary based upon the completion of a formal study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action.
Litigation - The Company is involved in various lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. These lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company's products. The Company is also involved in litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Some of these lawsuits include claims for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The Company is insured for product liability claims for amounts in excess of established deductibles and accrues for the estimated liability on a case-by-case basis up to the limits of the deductibles. All other claims and lawsuits are also provided for on a case-by-case basis.
The Company does not believe that the potential liability from the ultimate outcome of environmental and litigation matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.
8. Business Segments Information
The Company globally manufactures and markets commercial air conditioning and air filtration products and systems within two principal segments: Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, the manufacture, sale and distribution of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, industrial refrigeration products, and Filtration Products, the manufacture and sale of air filtration products and systems.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net Sales were $210.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2001, which represents a decrease of $5.0 million, or 2.3%, as compared to $215.0 million for the same period in the prior year. However, sales have decreased by approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 due to the impact of unfavorable currency trends in translating European sales. Excluding the currency impact, net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $3.7 million or 1.7% as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $5.5 million, or 4.0%, to $129.8 million as compared to $135.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. However, sales have decreased by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 due to the impact of unfavorable currency trends in translating European sales. Excluding the currency impact, net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $5.1 million or 3.8% as compared to the prior year. This decrease is the result of a 3.2% decrease in domestic sales and a 6.0% decrease in international sales. The decrease in domestic sales is primarily due to a 4.6% decrease in applied air handling volume and a 7.8% decrease in applied terminal systems (“ATS”). The decrease in applied air handling volume is principally due to a decrease in sales of self-contained units as a result of current economic conditions. ATS sales decreased primarily due to a slowdown in the market for packaged terminal air conditioners and water source heat pumps. The decrease in international sales is primarily due to the fiscal 2001 restructuring activities in the Company’s industrial refrigeration business in the United Kingdom.
Backlog for the Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration segment was $94 million at September 30, 2001 as compared to $111 million and $130 million at June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively. The decrease in backlog is primarily due to the softness in the rooftop self-contained market.
Filtration Products net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased $2.2 million, or 2.8%, to $82.3 million as compared to $80.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Additionally, sales have decreased by approximately $1.0 million due to the impact of unfavorable currency trends in translating European sales. Excluding the currency impact, net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased by approximately $3.2 million or 4.0%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased machinery filtration and acoustical systems (“MFAS”) volume in the U.S. and U.K., offset by the decreases in several large air pollution control systems (“APCS”) projects primarily in Latin America. Sales of replacement air filtration products were flat with the prior year.
Gross Profit decreased to $56.2 million, or 26.8% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $58.3 million, or 27.1% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2000. In the Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration segment, gross profit as a percentage of sales was 27.2% as compared to 26.5% for the same period in fiscal 2001. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to improved manufacturing efficiency in the applied air handling product line resulting from the closure of the Scottsboro, Alabama facility and improved margins on aftermarket parts and service. These margin increases were partially offset by pricing pressure resulting in lower chiller and applied terminal systems margins. The Filtration Products segment’s gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 28.1% in fiscal 2001 to 25.4% for the same period in fiscal 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of continued competitive pricing pressures in the replacement filter business in North America and Asia and adverse sales mix.
Operating Expenses were $46.1 million, or 21.9% of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 versus $51.0 million, or 23.7% of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Excluding amortization and restructuring charges, first quarter fiscal 2002 operating expenses were $43.2 million, or 20.5% of sales, versus $44.7 million, or 20.8% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001 is primarily attributable to favorable warranty experience and continued focus on control of general and administrative costs, partially offset by an increase in selling expense.
Income from Operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased to $10.1 million, or 4.8% of sales, as compared to $7.4 million, or 3.4% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Excluding amortization and restructuring charges, first quarter income from operations decreased to $13.0 million, or 6.2% of sales, compared to $13.6 million, or 6.3% of sales in the corresponding period of the prior year.
The Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration segment’s income from operations improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to $8.5 million, or 6.6% of sales, as compared to $8.2 million, or 6.1% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, excluding amortization and restructuring charges.
The Filtration Products segment’s income from operations, excluding amortization and restructuring charges, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased from $5.9 million, or 7.4% of sales, in fiscal 2001 to $4.3 million, or 5.2% of sales.
Net Interest Expense decreased to $4.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $5.2 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower debt levels and declining interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity needs are provided by cash generated from operating activities and supplemented when necessary by short-term credit facilities. During the first three months of fiscal 2002, funds used by operating activities were $8.1 million as compared to $2.4 million of funds generated in the prior fiscal year for the comparable period. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable. During the first three months of fiscal 2002, net cash from investing activities was comprised of $13.3 million in cash proceeds from the sale of businesses, partially offset by $1.6 million in capital expenditures. In September 2001, the Company sold its Singapore business for $13.1 million (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for further information) and will use these proceeds to pay down debt. Capital spending for the first three months decreased from $4.3 million in the prior year to $1.6 million this year due to higher than normal spending in first quarter fiscal 2001 related to the consolidation of the Company’s applied air handling operations in Minnesota.
On September 30, 1999, the Company refinanced its U.S. bank credit facilities with a Term Loan of $30 million and a Revolving Credit Facility of $90 million (" Bank Credit Agreement"). The Bank Credit Agreement has a three-year term, was used to retire all obligations under the previous bank agreement and is designed to provide added flexibility and borrowing availability. At September 30, 2001, remaining borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit portion of the Bank Credit Agreement was $30.7 million. Payments on long-term debt for the first three months of fiscal 2002 were $1.7 million, while $2.4 million in long-term debt was issued. In addition, as more fully discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), the Company used cash of $2.0 million to repurchase its Senior Notes. Short-term borrowings increased by $4.9 million during the three-month period.
A short-term credit facility provided to a subsidiary of the Company is supported by a letter of credit from OYL, which expires on May 31, 2002. This support arrangement may be extended for additional time periods with the consent of OYL and the bank providing the facilities.
Management believes, based upon current levels of operations and forecasted earnings, that cash flows from operations, together with borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement and other short-term credit facilities, will be adequate to make payments of principal and interest on debt, to permit anticipated capital expenditures and to fund working capital requirements and other cash needs. Nevertheless, the Company will remain leveraged to a significant extent and its debt service obligations will continue to be substantial. If the Company's sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Company's requirements, the Company may need to refinance its existing debt or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that any such new financing alternatives would be available, and, in any case, such new financing (if available) would be expected to be more costly and burdensome than the debt agreements currently in place.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company is required to apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company is currently assessing the financial impact that SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 will have on its earnings and financial position.
