Major additions and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred.

S Corporation - Income Tax Status --------------------------------- The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S Corporation.

Profit Sharing Plan ------------------- The Company sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees. Employees are eligible to participate after completing one year of service. Contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of covered employees' salaries and determined by management annually.

Condensed Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements ----------------------------------------------------- The Merger with Microflect was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly the Company's pro forma financial statements include the accounts and operations of Microflect for all periods presented. Prior to the combination, Microflect was a Subchapter S Corporation and included no federal taxes in its financial statements since its income was taxed at the shareholder level. Microflect made regular cash distributions to its shareholders sufficient to meet their tax liabilities. Upon termination of S-Corporation status on July 31, 1995, the undistributed S-Corporation retained earnings were reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, Microflect established deferred income taxes for the cumulative differences in the timing of reporting certain items for financial statement and income tax purposes. These deferred taxes related primarily to depreciation and capitalization costs of inventory. Reclassification entries have been made to the Microflect's statement of earnings to conform net sales, cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other income to Valmont's classifications on its statement of earnings. The following adjustments were made on the pro forma financial statements: (a) Income taxes were recorded to reflect the current and deferred taxes. The tax expense recorded by year follows: 1994 1993 1992 ------- ------- ------- Current $ 1,884 1,466 1,281 Deferred (22) (10) (52) ------- ------- ------- Total 1,862 1,456 1,229 ======= ======= ======= Cumulative deferred tax receivables/payables have been recorded on the accompanying balance sheets. (b) Subchapter S retained earnings have been reclassified to additional paid-in capital. (c) These entries reflect the issuance of Valmont's common stock of 1,950,000 shares and the elimination in consolidation of Microflect's common stock. (d) Reclassification entries to conform to Valmont's classifications. 2. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and equivalent common shares from dilutive stock options. The equivalent shares from the transaction of July 31, 1995, has been used in the restated earnings per share on the pro forma financial statements. Page 9
