NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
A. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of results for each
period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report. The year end
condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.
B. Inventory
The major classes of inventories were as follows (in thousands):
December 31 June 30
2000 2000
---------- ---------
Inventories:
Finished parts $44,429 $40,313
Work in process 4,953 5,880
Raw materials 4,746 3,997
------- -------
$54,128 $50,190
------- -------
------- -------
C. Contingencies
The Company is involved in various stages of investigation relative to
hazardous waste sites, two of which are on the United States EPA National
Priorities List (Superfund sites). The Company's assigned responsibility at
each of the Superfund sites is less than 2%. The Company has also been
requested to provide administrative information related to two other potential
Superfund sites but has not yet been identified as a potentially responsible
party. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain product liability
matters in the normal course of business.
At December 31,2000 the Company has accrued approximately $1,050,000, which
represents management's best estimate available for possible losses related to
these contingencies. This amount has been provided over the past several
years. Based on the information available, the Company does not expect that
any unrecorded liability related to these matters would materially affect the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
D. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Information about the Company's segments is summarized as follows (in
thousands):

E. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." This bulletin summarizes certain views of the SEC staff
on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in
financial statements. The SEC staff expressed its view that revenue is
realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or
determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company expects
that SAB 101 will not have a material effect on its financial statements

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Consolidated net sales for the second fiscal quarter were even with a year
ago, the net result of higher shipping levels at most operations, reductions
caused by translating foreign sales at strong dollar exchange rates, and
softening demand in certain markets. However, margins improved and net
earnings rose by about 39 percent.
Revenues of our domestic manufacturing operations continued their improvement
from year-ago levels, but at a lesser rate than in the first fiscal quarter.
As in the prior quarter, we reported increased market penetration of our
propulsion products, primarily Arneson surface drives, and an improvement in
aftermarket parts sales. We continue to see some recovery in demand for the
higher horsepower marine transmissions used in commercial applications, and
sales to the military gained over last year. On the strength of continuing
demand for pleasure craft marine transmissions, the volume of product shipped
from our European manufacturing subsidiaries registered a solid improvement in
the quarter. While the weak Euro provided a competitive pricing advantage for
those products on world markets, the almost 20 percent decline in value of
that currency during the past year eliminated the revenue gain when stated in
U.S. dollar terms. Likewise, the effect of modest gains in unit shipments
from our offshore distribution operations was not proportionately reflected in
our reported sales due to the relative weakness against the dollar of other
currencies around the world.
The consolidated gross margin improved slightly from a year ago as a result of
greater production volumes, and improved productivity and the favorable impact
of the strong dollar at our Belgian operation. Margins are enhanced by the
component of European sales denominated in dollars. Also, in last year's
second fiscal quarter, results were affected by lingering production
inefficiency cause by the implementation of new business systems late in the
first fiscal quarter.
Marketing, engineering and administrative spending for the period was slightly
below the second quarter last year, in line with the minimal change in sales
volume. Interest expense reflects a minor reclassification from the first
fiscal quarter, but it is still well below a year ago as a result of the $4
million reduction in debt since last year.
Working capital, at $48 million, has changed little in the six months since
our previous fiscal year-end. Accounts receivable and inventory balances are
comparable to the last quarter with variances from June 30, 2000 due to
seasonal factors. Debt also has remained relatively constant since the prior
year-end with a small amount of temporary borrowing at the end of December.
For the six months, cash flows from operating activities were sufficient to
cover capital expenditures and dividend payments. Our balance sheet is strong
and we continue to have sufficient liquidity for near-term needs.
