ended December 31, 1999 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 17, 2000, including the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included therein.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position,
consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows have been
included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The December
31, 1999 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently

NOTE 3 - PLANT CLOSURE AND SEVERANCE COSTS
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded $0.8 million in
closure costs related to actions taken in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling
Systems segment to close the Houston, Texas regional radiator manufacturing
facility and to consolidate the Santa Fe Springs, California distribution
facility into the existing distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee. The
manufacturing facility closure plan was initiated to reduce manufacturing costs
and address plant capacity issues at other regional facilities. The distribution
center consolidation plan was initiated to enhance fill rates to customers and
reduce the per unit carrying cost of inventory. These actions resulted in the
termination of 18 manufacturing and eight distribution center employees. A
summary of the associated closure costs is as follows:
Amounts Charged to Balance Remaining

Certain options to purchase common stock were outstanding during the

NOTE 6 - DEBT
In July 1998, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement
(the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with five banking institutions, which
provided for secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $75 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement is
secured by a blanket first perfected security interest in substantially all of
the Company's assets plus a pledge of the stock of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Revolving Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2003. Prior to the Limited
Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement (described below), the
security interest in the Company's assets and the pledge of the Company's
subsidiaries' stock was eligible for release if the Company achieved certain
senior debt ratings or if certain financial ratios were met and maintained.
Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are
determined by a borrowing base consisting of the Company's eligible (i) accounts
receivable, (ii) inventory and (iii) fixed assets, as adjusted by an advance
rate. The aggregate amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement
was automatically reduced by $0.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 1999; and then by $1.25 million at the end of each calendar
quarter through December 31, 1999.
Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at
variable rates based, at the Company's option on either (a) a Eurodollar loan
rate, plus an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA"), or (b) the higher of (i) the BankBoston, N.A. base lending rate and
(ii) one-half of one percent above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined,
plus an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded
debt to EBITDA. A commitment fee of .25% or .375% based upon the ratio of the
Company's total funded debt to EBITDA on the average daily unused portion of the
Revolving Credit Agreement is payable quarterly, in arrears.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which,
among other things, require maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and
interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and level of debt to net
worth, as well as covenants which place limits on dividend payments in excess of
$2.0 million per year and capital expenditures in excess of 140% of such year's
depreciation expense.
On December 31, 1999, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to
the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment") to return the amount of
secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit to the initial aggregate
amount of $75.0 million, and reschedule the automatic reductions and amend the
leverage coverage ratio covenant. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the aggregate
amount of borrowings was to be automatically reduced by $5.0 million on November
30, 2000 and December 31, 2000 and by $1.5 million at the end of each quarter
beginning March 31, 2001 through June 30, 2003. On May 1, 2000, the Company
entered into the Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit
Agreement (the "Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment"). The Limited Waiver and
Fourth Amendment reduces the aggregate amount of secured borrowings or the
issuance of letters of credit to $55.0 million, reschedules the automatic
reductions, eliminates the eligibility
10
11
for early security release and contains certain other amendments, which were
effective with the sale of the Crown Divisions in May 2000. Pursuant to the
Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment, the aggregate amount of borrowings is
automatically reduced by $5.0 million on December 31, 2000, by $5.0 million on
December 31, 2001 and by $7.5 million on December 31, 2002. The Limited Waiver
and Fourth Amendment also consented to the sale of the Crown Divisions, released
any security interest in the Crown assets, released Crown Canada as a guarantor
and provides for the elimination of the borrowing base if, on April 10, 2001, no
Default or Event of Default exists. Pursuant to the Limited Waiver and Fourth
Amendment, the lenders agreed to waive compliance with the leverage ratio, the
interest coverage ratio and the liabilities to net worth ratio covenants for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000.
At June 30, 2000, the Company was in violation of its interest coverage
and leverage ratio covenants. On August 18, 2000, the Company entered into a
Forbearance Agreement with the lenders, whereby the lenders agreed to allow the
violation of the interest coverage and leverage ratio covenants to continue to
exist until September 30, 2000, provided the Company's borrowings and
outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement did not
exceed $52 million and the Company met certain other conditions. Pursuant to the
Forbearance Agreement, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement during the forbearance period bore interest as set forth in the
Revolving Credit Agreement plus 1/2% per annum.
On September 29, 2000, the Company entered into the Second Forbearance
Agreement with the lenders, whereby the lenders agreed to allow the violation of
the interest coverage and leverage ratio covenants to continue to exist until
November 15, 2000, provided the Company's borrowings and outstanding letters of
credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement do not exceed $52 million, the
borrowing base exceeds the sum of the Company's borrowings plus outstanding
letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement by $20 million and the
Company meets certain other conditions. At September 30, 2000, the borrowing
base exceeded the sum of the Company's borrowings plus outstanding letters of
credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement by $21.7 million. Pursuant to the
Second Forbearance Agreement, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement during the forbearance period bear interest as set forth in the
Revolving Credit Agreement plus 1/2% per annum.
The Company believes it is in violation of the interest coverage and
leverage ratios at September 30, 2000.
The Company is in the process of seeking alternate sources of capital
from other lenders to replace the Revolving Credit Agreement. Accordingly,
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are classified as a current
liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2000. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes
that it will be successful in securing alternate sources of capital from other
lenders. Simultaneously, the Company is in the process of seeking a third
forbearance to allow the time necessary for the Company to secure the alternate
sources of capital from other lenders to replace the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes that it will be
successful in obtaining a third forbearance.
At September 30, 2000, borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit
Agreement were $36.1 million. The Company also has $5.0 million of borrowings
under floating rate industrial revenue bonds, which bear interest based upon a
short-term tax-exempt bond index and mature in the year 2013. At September 30,
2000, deferred debt expense of $0.4, and $0.2 was associated with the Revolving
Credit Agreement and the floating rate industrial revenue bonds, respectively.
Outstanding letters of credit totaled $9.2 million at September 30, 2000,
including $5.0 million to support borrowings under the floating rate industrial
revenue bonds. At November 6, 2000, borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement were $40.7 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $9.2
million.
NOTE 7 - SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the acquisition of Evap, Inc. in July 1998, the
Company issued 30,000 shares of TransPro, Inc. Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). The Series B Preferred
11
12
Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $3.0 million, which is reflected
in paid-in capital on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. There
is a potential additional payout for the Evap acquisition based on the future
earnings performance of the Evap business for the period January 1, 1999 through
December 31, 2000 that will take the form of an increase in the liquidation
preference of the Series B Preferred Stock with a maximum additional payout of
$3.75 million. Increases to the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred
Stock, if any, are effective on April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2001 based upon the
earnings of the Evap business for the prior calendar year. The Company is
currently in the process of finalizing the determination of the initial
additional payout amount, in accordance with the purchase agreement. The final
payout amount will be determined during 2001. The Series B Preferred Stock is
non-transferable and is entitled to cumulative dividends of 2% per annum during
the first year after acquisition, 3.5% per annum during the second year and 5.0%
per annum thereafter. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into TransPro
common stock at the rate of 50% on the third anniversary of the acquisition, an
additional 25% on the fourth anniversary and the remaining 25% on the fifth
anniversary; it is redeemable after the fifth anniversary at the liquidation
preference at the time of redemption. The Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into TransPro common stock based upon the liquidation preference and
the market value of TransPro common stock at the time of conversion, as further
described in the purchase agreement. The aggregate number of shares of TransPro
common stock to be issued upon conversion of all the Series B Preferred Stock
may not exceed 7% of the total number of shares of TransPro common stock
outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion, as further described in the
purchase agreement. The average market value of the TransPro common stock in
excess of the 7% limitation, if any, will be paid in cash.
NOTE 8 - ACQUISITION
Effective February 1, 1999, the Company purchased 100% of the
outstanding stock of A/C Plus, Inc., ("A/C Plus") an air conditioning compressor
remanufacturer located in Arlington, Texas. A/C Plus had sales of approximately
$2.9 million in fiscal 1998. The transaction was structured with a purchase
price of $2.25 million in cash, plus transaction costs, and a promissory note of
$0.25 million payable on the second anniversary of the closing. Concurrent with
the purchase, the Company repaid $0.5 million in working capital debt on behalf
of A/C Plus. The purchase price and working capital repayment were financed
through the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase. Goodwill of $2.2 million was recorded in connection with the
transaction and is being amortized over 20 years. A/C Plus results are included
in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

NOTE 9 - DISPOSITION OF BUSINESS SEGMENT
Effective May 5, 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets
and liabilities of its Crown Division Specialty Metal Fabrication segment to
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated in a transaction valued at $37.5 million,
comprised of $28.65 million in cash and the assumption of $8.0 million of
Industrial Revenue Bonds due 2010 and an unfunded pension liability of $0.85
million. The Company recorded a gain of $6.2 million, net of tax, which is
reported as gain on sale of discontinued operations in the condensed
consolidated statements of income. Crown designs and manufactures precision
specialty fabricated metal enclosures and components for a variety of
telecommunications and industrial applications and designs, manufactures and
installs specialized interiors and components for a variety of vans, utility
trucks and other specialized vehicles. Net proceeds from the sale were used to
reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement.
The following table presents the consolidated results of continuing
operations for the periods indicated on a pro forma basis, assuming the
reduction in debt resulting from the disposition of the Specialty Metal
Fabrication segment as if it had occurred on January 1, 1999.

NOTE 10 - IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging contracts. The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137 ("SFAS No. 137") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," in June
1999, deferring the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to be fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 is being assessed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 declined 7.8%
to $53.6 million compared with $58.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Sales in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment
declined $3.2 million, or 6.7%, from the comparable 1999 quarter. This reflects
lower unit volume in complete radiators and heaters to major retail customers,
lower radiator core sales to the direct market and flat sales of air
conditioning parts. Demand for the Company's Aftermarket Heating and Cooling
Systems products during the quarter continued to be affected negatively by
inventory adjustments on the part of the large retailers, coupled with mild
weather conditions in most parts of the country. Sales of OEM Heat Transfer
Systems products declined $1.3 million, or 13.5%, from the prior-year third
quarter primarily due to the recent decline in demand in the overall heavy-duty
truck market.
In the third quarter of 2000, consolidated gross margins were $12.1
million compared with $15.5 million in the year ago third quarter. As a
percentage of sales, gross margins were 22.5% in the 2000 third quarter compared
with 26.7% in the third quarter of 1999. In the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling
Systems segment, gross margins continued to be affected negatively by lower
manufacturing cost absorption resulting from the Company's decision to reduce
production levels in order to lower inventory and debt levels more aggressively
by the end of the year. Pricing actions taken earlier in the year to respond to
competitive pressures for Aftermarket products also continued to impact gross
margins negatively during the third quarter. Gross margins in the OEM Heat
Transfer Systems segment were negative primarily due to the lack of absorption
of manufacturing costs as a result of the sudden decline in sales and production
volume.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or
5.3%, due to a $0.3 million charge for doubtful collection reserves, higher
professional fees and the comparative impact of a reduction of employee medical
insurance accruals in the third quarter of 1999. These increases were partially
offset by the comparative affect of a $0.3 million charge recorded in the third
quarter of 1999 for legal fees and settlement costs associated with the
settlement of an employment-related lawsuit. During the third quarter of 2000,
the Company recorded a severance charge of $0.4 million related to the
previously announced departure of the Company's President and CEO.
Net interest expense declined $0.1 million, or 9.2%, for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared with the three months ended September
30, 1999. As a result of applying the proceeds from the May 5, 2000 sale of the
Specialty Metal Fabrication segment to reduce debt, average debt outstanding
during the third quarter of 2000 declined compared with average debt outstanding
during the third quarter of 1999. The impact of lower average outstanding debt
was partially offset by higher effective interest rates during the third quarter
of 2000 compared with the third quarter of 1999.
The Company's effective tax rate of 26.3% for the third quarter of 2000
is comprised of the U. S. Federal Income tax rate, plus the estimated aggregate
effective rate for state and local income taxes. The third quarter 2000 rate
reflects an adjustment to the year-to-date tax rate to reduce the tax benefit
arising from the loss from continuing operations for the impact of
non-deductible expenses for tax purposes. The rate decreased from the third
quarter 1999 rate of 43.3%, reflecting the reduction of the tax benefit from the
loss from continuing operations resulting from non-tax deductible expenses
expected in 2000.
14
15
The loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2000 was
$1.2 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted common share, excluding the effect
of the severance and doubtful collection charges. This compares with earnings
from continuing operations in the third quarter of 1999 of $1.4 million, or
$0.21 per basic common share and $0.20 per diluted common share, excluding the
effect of legal settlement costs. Including the effect of the severance and
doubtful collection charges, the loss from continuing operations for the third
quarter of 2000 was $1.6 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share.
Including the effect of legal settlement costs, income from continuing
operations for the third quarter of 1999 was $1.2 million, or $0.18 per basic
common share and $0.18 per diluted common share.
The Company sold its Crown Specialty Metal Fabrication segment to
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated on May 5, 2000 and, accordingly, the Specialty
Metal Fabrication segment is accounted for as a discontinued operation. In the
third quarter of 2000, the Company adjusted the estimated effective tax rate on
the gain on the sale of discontinued operations and, accordingly recorded $0.2
million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, of additional gain for the
three months ended September 30, 2000. Income from discontinued operations was
$0.2 million, or $0.04 per basic common share and $0.03 per diluted common share
for the third quarter of 1999.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2000 was $1.4 million, or $0.22
per basic and diluted common share, compared with net income of $1.5 million, or
$0.23 per basic common share and $0.21 per diluted common share in the third
quarter of 1999.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 declined 2.4% to
$155.9 million compared with $159.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. Sales in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment declined
$4.9 million, or 3.7%, from the comparable 1999 period. Complete radiator unit
volume was essentially flat year over year as volume declines to the retail
channel were offset by volume increases to warehouse distributors and the direct
market. Radiator core sales declined as the market continues to shift to
complete radiators. Heater sales declined during the first nine months of 2000
as heater shipments to the retail channel have been moved into the fourth
quarter. Compared with the comparable nine month period last year, condenser
sales increased as a result of a large shipment to a retail customer during the
first quarter, while sales of other air conditioning parts were essentially
flat. Sales for the first nine months were negatively impacted by lower volume
due to lower market demand and pricing actions in response to competitive
pressures. Sales in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems segment increased by $1.0
million, or 3.6%, compared with the comparable 1999 period due to strong demand
in the class 8 truck and specialty vehicle and industrial application markets in
the first half of the year.
Consolidated gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
were $35.6 million compared to $43.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. As a percent of sales, gross margins declined to 22.8% in the first
nine months of this year from 27.1% in the prior year first nine months. Gross
margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 reflect lower margins in
the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment primarily due to lower
production rates implemented as part of the inventory and debt reduction plan,
which have resulted in decreased manufacturing cost absorption. In addition, the
start up of production in Mexico of two new products, plastic tank aluminum core
radiators and six-millimeter condensers, resulted in temporary manufacturing
inefficiencies in the 2000 nine-month period. Pricing activity in response to
competitive pressures in the Aftermarket also negatively affected gross margins
during this period. Gross margins in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems segment were
basically flat compared with the prior year nine-month period as the significant
slowing of demand negated the impact of improvements in manufacturing
efficiencies and cost management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million or
5.0%, as a result of higher freight costs resulting from higher fuel prices,
higher professional fees associated with certain strategic initiatives and a
15
16
$0.3 million charge for doubtful collections. Increased headcount to position
the Aftermarket air conditioning parts operation for future growth,
inflation-related employee cost increases in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling
Systems segment and the comparative impact of reducing employee medical
insurance accruals in the third quarter of 1999 also contributed to the
increase.
Plant closure costs of $0.8 million were incurred during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 related to actions taken in the Aftermarket
Heating and Cooling Systems segment to close the Houston, Texas regional
radiator manufacturing plant and to consolidate the Santa Fe Springs, California
distribution center into the existing distribution facility in Memphis,
Tennessee. In addition, a severance charge of $0.4 million related to the
previously announced departure of the Company's President and CEO was recorded
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Plant closure costs of $0.3
million related to the closure of the Company's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and
Atlanta, Georgia replacement automotive air conditioning condenser manufacturing
plants and legal and settlement costs related to an employment-related lawsuit
were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Net interest expense increased $0.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase resulted from higher average debt levels associated with higher working
capital levels in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment, coupled
with higher effective interest rates. The impact of these factors was partially
offset by lower debt levels resulting from the application of the proceeds from
the May 2000 sale of the Specialty Metal Fabrication segment to reduce debt.
The Company's effective tax rate of 34.3% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 is comprised of the U. S. Federal income tax rate plus the
estimated aggregate effective rate for state and local income taxes. The rate
decreased from the 1999 rate of 42.8%, reflecting the reduction of the tax
benefit arising from the loss from continuing operations for the expected impact
in 2000 of non-deductible expenses for tax purposes. During the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, the Company recognized a non-recurring, non-cash
deferred tax benefit of $2.9 million related to the change in the organizational
structure of its GO/DAN Industries operation from a partnership to a
corporation.
Excluding plant closure and severance costs, the loss from continuing
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $2.3 million, or
$0.35 per basic and diluted common share. Including plant closure and severance
costs, the loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $3.3 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted common share. This
compares with income from continuing operations of $3.6 million, or $0.55 per
basic common share and $0.51 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, excluding plant closure and legal settlement costs and the
non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit. Including the effect of plant
closure and legal settlement costs and the non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax
benefit, income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 1999 was
$6.1 million, or $0.93 per basic common share and $0.86 per diluted common
share.
The Company sold its Crown Specialty Metal Fabrication segment to
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated on May 5, 2000 and, accordingly, the Specialty
Metal Fabrication segment is accounted for as a discontinued operation. As a
result of the sale, the Company reported a net gain on the sale of discontinued
operations of $6.2 million, or $0.94 per basic and diluted common share for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. Income from discontinued operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $0.4 million, or $0.07 per basic
and diluted common share, compared with $1.0 million, or $0.15 per basic common
share and $0.14 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $3.4
million, or $0.51 per basic and diluted common share, compared with net income
of $7.1 million, or $1.08 per basic common share and $1.00 per diluted common
share, in the comparable period of 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In July 1998, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement
(the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with five banking institutions, which
provided for secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $75 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement is
secured by a blanket first perfected security interest in substantially all of
the Company's assets plus a pledge of the stock of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Revolving Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2003. Prior to the Limited
Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement (described below), the
security interest in the Company's assets and the pledge of the Company's
subsidiaries' stock was eligible for release if the Company achieved certain
senior debt ratings or if certain financial ratios were met and maintained.
Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are
determined by a borrowing base consisting of the Company's eligible (i) accounts
receivable, (ii) inventory and (iii) fixed assets, as adjusted by an advance
rate. The aggregate amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement
was automatically reduced by $0.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 1999; and then by $1.25 million at the end of each calendar
quarter through December 31, 1999.
Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at
variable rates based, at the Company's option on either (a) a Eurodollar loan
rate, plus an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA"), or (b) the higher of (i) the BankBoston, N.A. base lending rate and
(ii) one-half of one percent above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined,
plus an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded
debt to EBITDA. A commitment fee of .25% or .375% based upon the ratio of the
Company's total funded debt to EBITDA on the average daily unused portion of the
Revolving Credit Agreement is payable quarterly, in arrears.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which,
among other things, require maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and
interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and level of debt to net
worth, as well as covenants which place limits on dividend payments in excess of
$2.0 million per year and capital expenditures in excess of 140% of such year's
depreciation expense.
On December 31, 1999, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to
the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment") to return the amount of
secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit to the initial aggregate
amount of $75.0 million, and reschedule the automatic reductions and amend the
leverage coverage ratio covenant. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the aggregate
amount of borrowings was to be automatically reduced by $5.0 million on November
30, 2000 and December 31, 2000 and by $1.5 million at the end of each quarter
beginning March 31, 2001 through June 30, 2003. On May 1, 2000, the Company
entered into the Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit
Agreement (the "Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment"). The Limited Waiver and
Fourth Amendment reduces the aggregate amount of secured borrowings or the
issuance of letters of credit to $55.0 million, reschedules the automatic
reductions, eliminates the eligibility for early security release and contains
certain other amendments, which were effective with the sale of the Crown
Divisions in May 2000. Pursuant to the Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment, the
aggregate amount of borrowings is automatically reduced by $5.0 million on
December 31, 2000, by $5.0 million on December 31, 2001 and by $7.5 million on
December 31, 2002. The Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment also consented to the
sale of the Crown Divisions, released any security interest in the Crown assets,
released Crown Canada as a guarantor and provides for the elimination of the
borrowing base if, on April 10, 2001, no Default or Event of Default exists.
Pursuant to the Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment, the lenders agreed to waive
compliance with the leverage ratio, the interest coverage ratio and the
liabilities to net worth ratio covenants for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
17
18
At June 30, 2000, the Company was in violation of its interest coverage
and leverage ratio covenants. On August 18, 2000, the Company entered into a
Forbearance Agreement with the lenders, whereby the lenders agreed to allow the
violation of the interest coverage and leverage ratio covenants to continue to
exist until September 30, 2000, provided the Company's borrowings and
outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement did not
exceed $52 million and the Company met certain other conditions. Pursuant to the
Forbearance Agreement, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement during the forbearance period bore interest as set forth in the
Revolving Credit Agreement plus 1/2% per annum.
On September 29, 2000, the Company entered into the Second Forbearance
Agreement with the lenders, whereby the lenders agreed to allow the violation of
the interest coverage and leverage ratio covenants to continue to exist until
November 15, 2000, provided the Company's borrowings and outstanding letters of
credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement do not exceed $52 million, the
borrowing base exceeds the sum of the Company's borrowings plus outstanding
letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement by $20 million and the
Company meets certain other conditions. At September 30, 2000, the borrowing
base exceeded the sum of the Company's borrowings plus outstanding letters of
credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement by $21.7 million. Pursuant to the
Second Forbearance Agreement, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Agreement during the forbearance period bear interest as set forth in the
Revolving Credit Agreement plus 1/2% per annum.
The Company believes it is in violation of the interest coverage and
leverage ratios at September 30, 2000.
The Company is in the process of seeking alternate sources of capital
from other lenders to replace the Revolving Credit Agreement. Accordingly,
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are classified as current
liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2000. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes
that it will be successful in securing alternate sources of capital from other
lenders. Simultaneously, the Company is in the process of seeking a third
forbearance to allow the time necessary for the Company to secure the alternate
sources of capital from other lenders to replace the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes that it will be
successful in obtaining a third forbearance.
At September 30, 2000, borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit
Agreement were $36.1 million. The Company also has $5.0 million of borrowings
under floating rate industrial revenue bonds, which bear interest based upon a
short-term tax-exempt bond index and mature in the year 2013. At September 30,
2000, deferred debt expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million was associated with
the Revolving Credit Agreement and the floating rate industrial revenue bonds,
respectively. Outstanding letters of credit totaled $9.2 million at September
30, 2000, including $5.0 million to support borrowings under the floating rate
industrial revenue bonds. At November 6, 2000, borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Agreement were $40.7 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled
$9.2 million.
During the first nine months of 2000, the Company required $9.0
million of cash to support its operations. Cash was required to fund a $8.9
million inventory build up and to support the seasonal increase of $4.0 million
in accounts receivable the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems segment. Cash
of $2.1 million was required to fund the net loss plus total adjustments to
reconcile net income to net cash used in operating activities. The additional
minimum pension liability declined by $0.6 million and the current deferred tax
asset increased by $0.6 million. An increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses provided $7.8 million of cash.
Capital spending during the first nine months of 2000 totaled $3.7
million. The Company paid two cash dividends of $0.05 per common share totaling
$0.7 million in the aggregate during the first nine months of 2000. On September
15, 2000, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had elected to
discontinue the quarterly cash dividend on the Company's common stock in order
to improve financial liquidity and support strategic growth initiatives such as
the air conditioning Aftermarket business. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company paid cash dividends to its preferred stockholder
of $0.1 million. Net proceeds

from the sale of the Specialty Metal Fabrication segment totaled $26.8 million.
Net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement decreased by $13.4 million
from December 31, 1999.
The future liquidity and ordinary capital needs of the Company in the
near term are expected to be met from a combination of cash flow from operations
and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As previously discussed,
the Company is in the process of seeking alternate sources of capital from other
lenders to replace the Revolving Credit Agreement. Although no assurance can be
given, the Company believes that it will be successful in securing alternate
sources of capital from other lenders. However, the capital for major growth
initiatives may exceed the aggregate amount of borrowings available to the
Company from lenders. If this were to occur, the Company would have to seek
additional sources of capital. However, no assurance can be given that the
Company would be successful in securing additional sources of capital.
