1. | Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements |
We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted. We made certain reclassifications to the 2001 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.
We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.
2. | New Accounting Standards |
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142),Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, and as a result, no longer record goodwill amortization (2001 goodwill amortization was $36.1 million, or $32.0 million after tax or $0.65 per diluted share).
In the second quarter of 2002, we completed our initial goodwill impairment review as required by SFAS 142 and concluded that none of our goodwill was impaired as of December 31, 2001. The fair value of each of our reporting units was estimated by an independent third party using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market comparable, and market capitalization approaches. We will test goodwill of each of our reporting units for impairment annually in the fourth quarter.
Had we accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods presented, our net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 (SFAS 143),Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 (SFAS 144),Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products. This new standard requires that certain payments to our customers for cooperative advertising and certain sales incentive offers that were historically classified in selling, general and administrative expense be reclassified and shown as a reduction in net sales. EITF 01-9 also requires the reclassification of previously reported results of operations for periods prior to the adoption to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, previously reported net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 were reduced by $12.7 million and $19.9 million (with an offsetting reduction in selling expense), respectively. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

8. | Restructuring Charge |
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we initiated a restructuring program designed to consolidate manufacturing operations and eliminate non-critical support facilities in our Enclosures segment. We also wrote off internal-use software development costs at corporate for the abandonment of a company-wide human resource system. Consequently, we recorded a restructuring charge of $42.8 million. Cash outlays associated with the charge were $6.6 million in the first six months of 2002.

Included inother current liabilities on the June 29, 2002 condensed consolidated balance sheet is the unused portion of the restructuring charge liability of $14.5 million. We expect to complete the remaining restructuring activities in second half of 2002.
Workforce reductions related to the 2001 restructuring charge is for approximately 760 employees, of whom 722 were terminated as of the end of the second quarter of 2002. Employee termination benefits consist primarily of severance and outplacement counseling fees. Exit costs relate to the shutdown of six Enclosures segment facilities, of which two are owned and currently held for resale and four are leased and held for sublease.
9. | Subsequent Event |
In 2001, we invested $5.0 million ($3.0 million in the second quarter and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter) to take a 17 percent ownership interest in a privately held developer and manufacturer of laser leveling and measuring devices. In July 2002, we invested an additional $5.0 million which increased our ownership interest to approximately 27 percent. Prior to making the additional investment in July 2002, this investment was accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Beginning in the third quarter of 2002, we will use the equity method of accounting, and accordingly, recognize our share of the income or loss from this investment.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our disclosure and analysis in this report may contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expected,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all-potential risks and uncertainties.
Any change in the following factors may impact the achievement of results:
Ÿ | changes in industry conditions, such as: |
Ÿ | the strength of product demand; |
Ÿ | the intensity of competition; |
Ÿ | pricing pressures; |
Ÿ | market acceptance of new product introductions; |
Ÿ | the introduction of new products by competitors; |
Ÿ | our ability to source components from third parties without interruption and at reasonable prices; and |
Ÿ | the financial condition of our customers. |
Ÿ | changes in our business strategies, including acquisition, divestiture, and restructuring activities; |
Ÿ | legal, governmental, and regulatory policies; |
Ÿ | general economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth in our principal geographic or product markets or fluctuations in exchange rates; |
Ÿ | changes in operating factors, such as improvement (or its opposite) in manufacturing activities and the recognition of related efficiencies or inefficiencies; |
Ÿ | inventory risks due to shifts in market demand; and |
Ÿ | our ability to accurately evaluate the effects of contingent liabilities such as taxes, product liability, environmental, and other claims. |
The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing our interim 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our annual report, except as described in Note 2 of this report“New Accounting Standards.”
In preparing the financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which in many cases require us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. Many of these policies are relatively straightforward. There are, however, a few policies that are critical because they are important in determining the financial condition and results of operations and they can be difficult to apply. Our critical accounting policies include those related to:
Ÿ | self-insurance reserves for product liability, workers’ compensation and other claims; |
Ÿ | the resolution of matters related to open tax years; |
Ÿ | the evaluation of long-lived assets, including goodwill, for impairment; and |
Ÿ | accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits, because of the importance of management judgment in making the estimates necessary to apply these policies. |

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – Also see Note 2 (New Accounting Standards) of ITEM 1
We adopted three new accounting standards in the first quarter of 2002:
Ÿ | SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; |
Ÿ | SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; and |
Ÿ | EITF Issue No. 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products. |
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life no longer be amortized effective January 1, 2002. Prior to adoption of this standard, goodwill amortization was included as a part of selling, general and administrative expense. This standard did not require restatement of prior period amounts to be consistent with the current year presentation. We have included supplemental financial tables in the following discussion that show the effect of excluding goodwill amortization for the prior year period to be comparable with the current year presentation.
SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
EITF 01-9 requires that certain payments to our customers for cooperative advertising and certain sales incentive offers that were historically classified in selling, general and administrative expense be reclassified and shown as a reduction in net sales. EITF 01-9 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and requires the reclassification of previously reported results of operations for periods prior to adoption to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, previously reported net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 were reduced by $12.7 million and $19.9 million (with an offsetting reduction in selling expense), respectively. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income, or earnings per share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales
The components of the net sales change in 2002 from 2001 were as follows:
% change from 2001 | ||||||
Percentages | Second quarter | Six months | ||||
Volume | 2.4 | (2.9 | ) | |||
Price | (0.1 | ) | (0.2 | ) | ||
Currency | 0.4 | — | ||||
Total | 2.7 | (3.1 | ) | |||
Net sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002 totaled $708.1 million and $1,311.2 million, compared with $689.4 million and $1,353.6 million for the same periods in 2001. The $18.7 million or 2.7 percent increase in second quarter 2002 net sales and $42.4 million or 3.1 percent decline in first half 2002 net sales is primarily due to:
Ÿ | volume increases in our Tools segment both in the second quarter and first half of 2002, particularly for pressure washers; |
Ÿ | volume increases in the second quarter of 2002 in our Water segment due to the timing of orders for seasonal pool and spa equipment. Sales of these products were slower in the first quarter of 2002 than in the first quarter of 2001; and |
Ÿ | volume declines in our Enclosures segment, reflecting severely reduced capital spending in the industrial market and over-capacity and sluggish demand in the datacom and telecom markets. The sales decline in the first quarter of 2002 was much higher than the sales decline in the second quarter of 2002. |
The weakening U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2002 increased the dollar value of foreign sales by about 0.4 percent.
Sales by segment and the change from the prior year periods were as follows:

Tools
The 10.7 percent and 9.2 percent increases in Tools segment sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002 from 2001 was primarily driven by:
Ÿ | higher sales volume in our DeVilbiss Air Power Company (DAPC) business, particularly for pressure washers; and |
Ÿ | higher sales volume in our Delta business due to Father’s Day sales promotions and efforts to reestablish the Delta brand in both the professional and retail sales channels. In the second quarter of 2002, we launched a new branding strategy for the Delta business by |
12
Table of Contents
creating two sub-brands – Delta Shopmaster and Delta Industrial. The Delta Shopmaster brand is targeted toward the entry level Do-It-Yourselfer and the Delta Industrial brand is targeted toward the professional craftsman.
These increases were partially offset by:
Ÿ | slight decreases in average selling prices due to the introduction of lower price point products for the Delta Shopmaster brand and higher cooperative advertising. |
Water
The 10.7 percent and 3.8 percent increases in Water segment sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to:
Ÿ | higher sales volume for our pool and spa equipment products due to timing. Sales of these products in 2001 were slow until June and carried over and resulted in a strong third quarter while sales in 2002 were strong throughout the second quarter. As a result, we expect pool and spa equipment sales in the third quarter of 2002 to be lower than the third quarter of 2001, however, we believe sales activity in our other water businesses will remain strong; |
Ÿ | increased sales volume in our pump businesses particularly for municipal and residential pumps; and |
Ÿ | slight increases in average selling prices. |
Enclosures
The 20.7 percent and 27.8 percent declines in Enclosures segment sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to:
Ÿ | lower sales volume due to significant industry-wide sales declines, reflecting severely reduced capital spending in the industrial market and over-capacity and lack of demand in the datacom and telecom markets. |
We are uncertain when the recovery in the North American industrial market will occur, and we do not expect a recovery in the worldwide datacom and telecom markets until sometime in 2003. As a result of the unfavorable market conditions, our Enclosures segment management is focused on two areas:
Ÿ | reducing the existing infrastructure and lowering operational costs, which has resulted in a sequential improvement in operating income margin over the first quarter of 2002; and |
Ÿ | executing our growth initiatives that target strategic OEM volume, expand our product and service offerings, expand our geographic coverage, and opportunities outside the current marketplace. |
Supplemental Financial Information
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142),Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. The following supplemental condensed consolidated statements of income are presented as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods (i.e., no longer amortizing goodwill). The following table shows selected as reported and as adjusted numbers had we been accounting for goodwill under SFAS 142 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001.

Gross profit
Gross profit margin was 24.9 percent and 23.9 percent of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with 22.9 percent and 23.3 percent of sales for the same periods last year.
The 2.0 percentage point and 0.6 percentage point increases in the second quarter and first half of 2002 gross profit margin from 2001 was primarily the result of:
Ÿ | savings realized from our supply chain management and lean enterprise initiatives; |
Ÿ | higher sales volume in our Tools segment, particularly for pressure washers; |
Ÿ | favorable product mix in both the Porter-Cable and Delta businesses related to higher margin pneumatic products, accessories, planers, shapers and table saws as well as new products; and |
Ÿ | slight increases in average selling prices in our Water segment. |
These increases were somewhat offset by:
Ÿ | lower sales volume in the industrial, telecom, and test and measurement markets of our Enclosures segment resulting in unabsorbed overhead; and |
Ÿ | slight decreases in average selling prices, primarily in our Tools segment due to the introduction of lower price point products for the Delta Shopmaster brand and higher cooperative advertising. |
SG&A and R&D
SG&A expense was 13.0 percent and 13.4 percent of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with 11.8 percent (calculation excludes goodwill amortization of $9.2 million) and 12.4 percent (excludes goodwill amortization of $18.3 million) of sales for the same periods in 2001, respectively.
The 1.2 percentage point and 1.0 percentage point increases in SG&A in 2002 from 2001 reflect:
Ÿ | additional spending to improve our business processes (through lean enterprise) and launch initiatives to fuel organic growth; |
Ÿ | higher selling expense as we continue to fund brand awareness advertising in our Tools segment and higher marketing costs in our Water segment targeted toward untapped industrial markets; |
Ÿ | additional costs in the second quarter as we intentionally accelerated our outsourced internal audits and, simultaneously, began to recruit and hire internal resources to bring the internal audit function back in-house; |
Ÿ | higher bad debt expense, primarily due to credit concerns related to a few specific customers in our Enclosures segment; and |
Ÿ | Enclosures segment sales declining at a much faster rate than the decline in SG&A spending. |

Table of Contents
We anticipate SG&A expense to be about the same percent of sales for the second half of 2002 as it was in the first half as we continue to fund initiatives to improve our business processes, fuel organic growth, and transition our internal audit function back in-house.
R&D expense was $9.0 million and $17.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with $7.3 million and $15.0 million for the same periods last year, or 1.3 and 1.1 percent of sales for both periods, respectively. The year-over-year increases are primarily the result of additional investments related to new product development initiatives in our Tools segment.

The 2.7 percentage point and 2.5 percentage point increases in second quarter and first half of 2002 operating income margin excluding 2001 goodwill amortization for our Tools segment was primarily the result of:
Ÿ | cost savings as a result of our supply management and lean enterprise initiatives; |
Ÿ | higher sales volume in our DAPC business and Delta business; and |
Ÿ | favorable product mix in both the Porter-Cable and Delta businesses related to higher margin pneumatic products, accessories, planers, shapers and table saws as well as new products. |

Ÿ | higher sales of pressure vessels in the second quarter of 2002 for large water treatment systems at somewhat lower-than-normal margins. Sales and operating margin for these products were slightly lower on a year-to-date basis; and |

Ÿ | cost improvements as a result of our lean enterprise initiatives; and |
Ÿ | slight increases in average selling prices. |
Enclosures
The following table provides a comparison of Enclosures segment operating income as reported, and those results as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods presented:

Percentage point change | (1.8 | )pts | (5.0 | )pts |
The 1.8 percentage point and 5.0 percentage point declines in second quarter and first half of 2002 operating income margin excluding 2001 goodwill amortization for our Enclosures segment was primarily the result of:
Ÿ | lower sales volume due to significant industry-wide sales declines, resulting in unabsorbed overhead despite reductions in overall cost structure; and |
Ÿ | higher SG&A expense as a percent of sales, as the decline in sales was at a much faster rate than the reduction in costs, as well as higher bad debt expense as we increased reserves due to credit concerns related to a few specific customers. |
These decreases were partially offset by:
Ÿ | savings realized as a part of our restructuring program, net of one-time nonrecurring costs; and |
Ÿ | material cost savings and other cost reductions as a result of our lean enterprise initiatives. |
Net interest expense
Net interest expense was $10.5 million and $24.2 million in the second quarter and first half of 2002, a decline of $5.8 million and $9.8 million from the comparable periods in 2001, respectively. Included in the $24.2 million, is a write-off of $1.8 million of financing costs (in the first quarter of 2002) related to excess capacity on certain credit facilities that we do not expect to utilize. Excluding the $1.8 million write-off, net interest expense for the six-month period declined $11.6 million. The decline in net interest expense in 2002 from 2001 is the result of lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and lower average borrowings, driven by our strong cash flow performance.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 33.0 percent in both the second quarter and first half of 2002, compared with 31.1 percent and 31.2 percent, as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 (35.3 percent and 36.0 percent and as reported, respectively), for the comparable periods in 2001. The 1.9 percentage point and 1.8 percentage point increases reflect a change in U.S. versus foreign earnings mix in 2002 compared to 2001. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 33.0 percent for 2002.
Other expense
In the first quarter of 2001, we incurred a non-cash charge of $2.5 million for the write-off of our business-to-business e-commerce equity investment that we made in early 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, smaller acquisitions, debt repayments, and dividend payments are generally funded from cash generated from operations, and availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities. Cash requirements for large acquisitions are generally funded through capital market transactions, which could include the issuance of new debt or the sale of common stock.
Some of our businesses are seasonal in nature due to the products they sell, particularly our tools business and our pool and spa equipment business. Consequently, we have generally experienced negative free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures, including both continuing and discontinued operations) in the first half of any given year. However, because we have established a culture that is deeply focused on free cash flow and lean enterprise initiatives, we generated free cash flow of $87.2 million in the first half of 2002, compared with $53.4 million for the same period in 2001. Our free cash flow goal for the full year of 2002 is $200.0 million and our long-term goal is to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds a 100 percent conversion ratio of net

income. Our ability to convert net income into free cash flow gives us the opportunity to invest in new growth initiatives and create shareholder value.
The following table presents selected working capital measurements calculated from our monthly operating results based on a 13-month moving average:
Days | June 29 2002 | December 31 2001 | June 30 2001 | |||

Cash conversion cycle | 74 | 81 | 87 |
Operating activities
Operating activities provided $102.5 million in the first half of 2002, compared with $78.5 million for the same period in 2001 for a year-over-year improvement of $24.0 million. The increase was primarily the result of higher accounts payable balances at the end of the second quarter of 2002 compared with the end of 2001, driven by increased material purchases, higher inventory turnover, and improved sell through of products in our Tools segment. In addition, the disposition of our Equipment segment businesses at the end of 2001 provided a year-over-year improvement of $15.3 million.
Investing activities
Capital expenditures in the first half of 2002 and 2001 were $15.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2002 to be approximately $50 million. Anticipated expenditures in 2002 are expected to be in the areas of tooling for new product development and general maintenance capital.
In 2001, we invested approximately $24.9 million to take a 40 percent interest in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench and portable tools, of which $20.4 million was paid for the year ended December 31, 2001 and an additional $4.2 million was paid in the first six months of 2002. We anticipate paying the remaining $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2002. We hold an option to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to as much as 100 percent.
Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2002 was $96.6 million and reflected an $81.1 million reduction in debt and payment of dividends of $17.7 million, or $0.36 per common share. In June 2002, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly cash dividend payment from $0.18 per common share to $0.19 per common share, payable beginning August 9, 2002.
Financing matters and credit ratings
As of the end of the second quarter of 2002, our capital structure was comprised of $644.6 million in long-term debt (including current maturities), and $1,078.1 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital as of the end of the second quarter of 2002 was 37.4 percent, compared with 41.6 percent as of the end of 2001 and 45.9 percent as of the end of the second quarter of 2001. The 4.2 percentage point decline from the end of 2001 reflects a decrease in our total debt and an increase in our equity resulting from our strong cash flow performance. Our targeted debt-to-total capital ratio is around 40 percent.
As of June 29, 2002, we had $705.0 million in committed revolving credit facilities with various banks, of which $454.0 million was unused. Credit available under existing facilities, as limited by our tightest financial covenant, was approximately $140.0 million as of the end of June 2002 and is based on a ratio of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) to total debt (including off-balance sheet synthetic lease obligations of $23.0 million). Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants that restrict the amount paid for dividends and require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. We were in compliance with all covenants as of the end of the second quarter of 2002.
In March 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100 million that matures in 2009, to hedge the fair value of $100 million of fixed rate senior notes. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we will pay interest semi-annually at the six month LIBOR rate plus 2.49 percent and we will receive interest semi-annually at the annual rate of 7.85 percent. This swap agreement has been designated and accounted for as a fair value hedge in accordance with SFAS No. 133 (SFAS 133),Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Since this swap qualifies for the short-cut method under SFAS 133, changes in the fair value of the swap are offset by changes in the fair value of the designated debt being hedged. Consequently, there is no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Our credit ratings affect our ability to access debt in the capital markets and the interest rate we pay. Our credit ratings as of July 23, 2002 were as follows:
Rating Agency | Long-Term Debt Rating | |
Standard & Poor’s(1) | BBB | |
Moody’s | Baa3 |

We believe cash generated from operating activities, together with credit available under committed and uncommitted facilities and our current cash position, will provide adequate short-term and long-term liquidity.
Subsequent Event
In 2001, we invested $5.0 million ($3.0 million in the second quarter and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter) to take a 17 percent ownership interest in a privately held developer and manufacturer of laser leveling and measuring devices. In July 2002, we invested an additional $5.0 million which increased our ownership interest to approximately 27 percent. Prior to making the additional investment in July 2002, this investment was accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Beginning in the third quarter of 2002, we will use the equity method of accounting, and accordingly, recognize our share of the income or loss from this investment.
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the quarter ended June 29, 2002. For additional information, refer to Item 7A on page 24 of our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other
We are occasionally a party to litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities based on the expected eventual disposition of these matters. We believe the effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.
