Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods covered have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Maxco's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain other amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. NOTE 2 - Inventories The major classes of inventories, at the dates indicated were as follows: September 30, March 31, 1998 1998 ---- ---- (Unaudited) (in thousands) Raw materials $ 920 $ 723 Finished goods and work in progress 897 1,077 Purchased products for resale 2,638 1,779 -------- ------- $ 4,455 $ 3,579 ======== ======= NOTE 3 - Marketable Securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as securities available for sale under FASB 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Application of this method resulted in an unrealized gain, net of deferred tax, of approximately $55,000 being reported as part of stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998. 7 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MAXCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 4 - Restricted Cash The Company has borrowings under its variable rate tax exempt revenue bond. The use of the proceeds from these borrowings is restricted to the acquisition of certain equipment. The unexpended portion of $.4 million is included in restricted cash at September 30, 1998. NOTE 5 - Long-Term Debt In the first quarter of 1998, the Company's Ersco unit secured a commitment for a $10.0 million credit facility, available under certain circumstances, to fund acquisitions.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 7 - Comprehensive Income Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 established new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. The adoption of this Statement requires unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities to be included in comprehensive income, which prior to adoption were only reported separately in shareholders' equity. The components of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Net earnings $ 609 $1,432 $1,737 $2,757 Unrealized gains on marketable securities 14 59 8 158 ------ ------ ------ ------ $ 623 $1,491 $1,745 $2,915 ====== ====== ====== ====== The components of accumulated comprehensive income, net of related tax at September 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 are as follows: September 30, March 31, 1998 1998 ------------------------------------------ (in thousands) Unrealized gains on marketable securities $ 55 $ 47 9 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAXCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Cash generated from net income, sale of marketable securities, and proceeds from long-term borrowings in the first six months of the year were used by Maxco in its operating activities to fund higher levels of working capital items, in investing activities to purchase property and equipment, and to invest in additional affiliates. At September 30, 1998, a higher level of working capital items, primarily accounts receivable and inventory, resulted in consumption of liquid resources. The higher sales activity by the Company's construction supplies segment (Ersco) over the traditionally slower fourth quarter of the prior year was the principal cause of this increased investment. In addition to the higher working capital requirements during the summer peak construction period by the construction supplies segment, Maxco is investing in the growth of the concrete construction supplies industry by actively seeking acquisitions and other opportunities in key market areas. During the second quarter, Ersco established a new sales and distribution facility in Louisville, Kentucky to serve the growing construction market in Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio. Subsequent to September 30, 1998, Ersco purchased a company in Columbus, Ohio which provides concrete forming and shoring equipment to concrete construction contractors. Ersco is a participant in the overall consolidation of the construction industry. This unit, in the first quarter of 1998, secured a commitment for a $10.0 million credit facility, available under certain circumstances, to fund acquisitions. In addition to investments in property and equipment for the expansion of the construction supplies segment, the Company invested in property and equipment for its heat treating segment (Atmosphere Annealing). This investment was made to improve the efficiency and capacity of this metal heat treating unit in anticipation of higher sales. During the first quarter, Maxco also acquired a one-third interest in Blasen Brogan Asset Management Company, a Lansing, Michigan based registered investor advisory firm. Effective August 1, 1998, the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in and agreed to finance certain debt of Mid-State Industrial Services, Inc., which is in the business of selling, leasing, and servicing lift trucks. In addition, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in a software developer, whose customers primarily are in the light manufacturing and distribution industries. The Company's cash outflow for its investment in these two affiliates was approximately $1.5 million. Subsequent to September 30, 1998, Maxco sold its 45% equity interest in Strategic Interactive, Inc. to Provant, Inc. for cash and stock. The transaction contains an earn out provision based on the future performance of Strategic Interactive over the next three years that could result in additional compensation to Maxco. The Company believes that its current financial resources, together with cash generated from operations, and its available resources under its lines of credit will be adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next year. 10 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) MAXCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO 1997 Net sales from continuing operations increased to $35.6 million compared to $29.3 million in last year's second quarter. Second quarter results reflect operating earnings of $1.4 million compared to $2.3 million for the comparable period in 1997. Net income was $609,000 or $.15 per share assuming dilution compared to last year's $1.4 million or $.38 per share assuming dilution. Higher sales in the current period occurred at Maxco's construction supplies segment (Ersco) over the comparable 1997 period primarily as a result of Ersco's acquisition of an Illinois based sales unit in January 1998, additional construction activity due to increased availability of federal highway repair dollars, and a strong general construction market. Sales of heat treating services by its heat treating segment (Atmosphere Annealing) were modestly lower than the prior year's comparable quarter. Sales at this unit, however, were less than planned as a result of a strike at one of its automotive customers and delay of certain other planned programs. The construction supplies segment generated additional operating earnings in the current period over last year due primarily to their increased sales level. Gross margin percentage at this unit was lower, however, because a significant portion of their increased sales level for the three months was product sales to highway contractors on a direct shipment basis which generally have a lower margin. The operating earnings for Maxco's heat treating segment were approximately $500,000 lower in the current period over the 1997 comparable period. This reduction in operating earnings at Atmosphere Annealing was caused by lower sales of heat treating services, increased employee benefit expenses and higher costs related to facility improvements which became operational during the period. The higher facilities costs were incurred as a result of the expansion of certain facilities of this unit in anticipation of increased sales. The planned sales increase was delayed in part to a labor strike at one of its major customers as well as certain other programs being delayed until the expansion of the facilities was completed. Operating earnings were also affected by an operating loss which occurred at Pak Sak, Maxco's packaging products segment, as a result of lower sales and gross margin percentage at this unit. Net interest expense increased in 1998 from the prior year quarter due to additional long-term borrowings and reduction in marketable securities, the proceeds of which were used for investments in new affiliates, repurchases of the Company's stock, and additional purchases of property and equipment. Maxco's equity in its earnings of affiliates was lower in 1998 due to a loss by Medar for the three month period of approximately $1.1 million compared to net income of $420,000 for the comparable period in 1997. As a result, Maxco recorded a charge of $250,000 as a share of the losses from this affiliate in the current period compared to earnings of $94,000 for the comparable period in 1997. Medar's revenues and operating results were lower then Medar anticipated because of several projects that have shifted into the fourth quarter of the calendar year. 11 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) MAXCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO 1997 Net sales from continuing operations increased to $71.2 million compared to $57.2 million in last year's second quarter. Second quarter results reflect operating earnings of $3.4 million compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period in 1997. Net income was $1.7 million or $.46 per share assuming dilution compared to last year's $2.8 million or $.73 per share assuming dilution. Higher sales for the six months occurred at Maxco's construction supplies segment (Ersco) over the comparable 1997 period primarily as a result of Ersco's acquisition of an Illinois based sales unit in January 1998, additional construction activity due to increased availability of federal highway repair dollars, and a strong general construction market. Sales of heat treating services were modestly lower at Atmosphere Annealing compared to the prior year six-month period. Sales at this unit, however, were less than planned for the current period as a result of a strike at one of its automotive customers and the delay in certain other planned programs. For the current six month period, the construction supplies segment generated additional operating earnings over last year due to their increased sales level. Gross margin percentage at this unit was lower, however, as a significant portion of their increased sales level was product sales to highway contractors on a direct shipment basis, which generally have a lower margin. The operating earnings increase at this unit was offset by reduced operating earnings of approximately $1.2 million at Atmosphere Annealing. This reduction in operating earnings at Atmosphere Annealing was caused by lower sales of heat treating services, increased employee benefit expenses and higher costs related to facility improvements which became operational during the period. The higher facilities costs were incurred as a result of the expansion of certain facilities of this unit in anticipation of increased sales. The planned sales increase was delayed in part to a labor strike at one of its major customers as well as certain other programs being delayed until the expansion of the facilities was completed. Operating earnings were also affected by an operating loss which occurred at Pak Sak, Maxco's packaging products segment, as a result of lower sales and gross margin percentage at this unit. Net interest expense increased for the first six months of 1998 from the comparable period in the prior year due to additional long-term borrowings and reduction in marketable securities, the proceeds of which were used for investments in new affiliates, repurchases of the Company's stock, and additional purchases of property and equipment. Equity in earnings of affiliates was lower in 1998 due to a loss of approximately $1.0 million reported by its Medar affiliate during the six month period. As a result, Maxco reported a charge of $225,000 as its share of Medar's loss for the six months. Medar's revenues and operating results were lower than Medar anticipated because of several projects that have shifted into the fourth quarter of the calendar year. 12 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) MAXCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be adversely impacted by year 2000 software issues and continues to evaluate and manage the risks associated with this problem. The Company believes that based on initial assessments, the cost of achieving year 2000 compliance is not estimated to be materially over the cost of normal software upgrades and replacements which are expected to be incurred through September 30, 1999. In addition to reviewing its internal year 2000 issues, Maxco has begun to analyze any third party readiness. Due to the diverse nature of Maxco's operations and its many suppliers and vendors, no significant loss of business is anticipated as a result of any of its customers or vendors not being year 2000 ready. 13 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
