(Debtor-In-Possession)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A description of the Company and a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
1.Description of the Business
Electric Machinery Enterprises, Inc. (EME), incorporated in the state of Florida, is located in Tampa, Florida, and engaged primarily in the electrical construction of industrial and commercial buildings, providing services to a wide variety of clients in the United States and abroad. EME, through a subsidiary, E.M. Enterprises General Contractors, Inc., previously an operating division, is involved in the construction of towers used in the cellular telephone industry. EME’s construction contracts are typically twelve months or less, but may involve a longer duration of time depending upon the nature and size of the construction project. EME Modular Structures, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EME, is engaged in the construction of concrete modular buildings.
2.Interim financial statements:
The interim financial statements of Electric Machinery Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“EME” or the “Company”) that are included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim period, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The report of the Company’s independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2003 contains an explanatory paragraph as to the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements to give effect to this uncertainty. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.
3.Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Electric Machinery Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries, EME Modular Structures, Inc., E.M. Enterprises General Contractors, Inc., and Peleme Ltd (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
4.Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
5.Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The cash balance includes no cash equivalents at June 30, 2004.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE A – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
6.Revenue Recognition
Revenue on long-term contracts is recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of the percentage-of-completion of individual contracts, measured for each contract by the percentage of direct costs incurred-to-date to estimated total direct costs at completion (cost to cost method). As these long-term contracts extend over one or more years, revisions in costs and profits estimated during the course of the work are recorded in the accounting period in which the facts requiring their revision become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss on the contract is recognized. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that these estimates used will change within the near term.
7.Contract receivables:
Construction contract receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Retainage on construction contracts are contractual obligations of the customer that are withheld from progress billings until project completion. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral.
Senior management reviews receivables on a monthly basis to determine if any amounts may become uncollectible. Any contract receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, are included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,425,854 is adequate as of June 30, 2004. However, future write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
8.Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost of market, determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company takes it annual physical inventory at year end.
9.Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the estimated future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and its fair value.
10.Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is provided using both accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset.
11.Income taxes:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and federal income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTE B – PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY CODE
On May 29, 2003, (“Petition Date”), Electric Machinery Enterprises, Inc. (the “Debtor”) filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code (“Bankruptcy Code or Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor-In-Possession. These claims are reflected in the balance sheet as “liabilities subject to compromise.” Additional claims may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. Claims secured against the Debtor’s assets (“secured claims”) also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay. Secured claims are secured primarily by liens on the Debtor’s property, plant, equipment, receivables and inventory.
The Debtor received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations. (See Note H for detail of liabilities subject to compromise).

NOTE J- EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST
Effective January 1997, the Company established the EME Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the “Plan”), which enables employees of the Company to share in the growth of the Company through the acquisition of stock. Employees of the Company are generally eligible to participate in the Plan after one year of service and attainment of 18 years of age, provided they worked at least 1,000 hours during such Plan year and are employed on the last working day of the Plan year.
The plan provides for the Company, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, to make contributions up to the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE K – ACCUMULATED DEFICIT RESTATEMENT
The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2003 has been restated in the amount of $9.647,389 to conform with accounting principles prescribed by the Securities Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 relative to revenue recognition associated with what the SEC refers to as contingent revenue.
As of December 31, 2003 the Company included this amount in other assets to be representative of certain contracts and claims in various stages of negotiation, arbitration and litigation. The Company is attempting to resolve these matters, and expects to be successful in recovering these amounts. However, as in all matters in litigation, the outcome is not certain and amounts recovered, if any could be materially different than expected.
H – Consequently, the beginning accumulated deficit has been restated, and any collections relative to these matters will be recognized as income at that time.
