NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
A. BASIS OF REPORTING FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Eagle-Picher Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999 presented in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on February 28, 2000.
The financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal and recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the
three months ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999. Results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for an entire year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform with current year financial statement presentation.
B. BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of net income (loss) per share is based upon the average
number of common shares outstanding, which was 1,000,000 in the three months
ended February 29,2000 and February 28, 1999. The net loss applicable to common
shareholders represents the net income reduced by, or the net loss increased by,
accreted dividends on preferred stock of $3.0 million and $2.5 million for the
three months ended February 29(28), 2000 and 1999, respectively. No potential
common stock was outstanding during the three months ended February 29(28), 2000
or 1999.
C. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the depleted zinc
business of Isonics Corporation ("Isonics") for $8.2 million; $6.7 million of
which was paid upon closing and $1.5 million of which consists of contingent
cash payments over three years. In addition, the Company negotiated a warrant to
acquire four million shares of common stock of Isonics in exchange for materials
to be delivered in 2000. This acquisition, which was financed from the revolving
credit facility under the Company's credit agreement, was accounted for as a
purchase.
Effective March 15, 2000, the Company elected to exercise its warrant
using a "cashless exercise" feature where the Company will acquire fewer than
four million shares of stock and pay for such shares by surrendering a portion
of the warrant. The number of shares the Company will receive is currently being
negotiated; however, it is expected to be in excess of 3.1 million shares.
On September 1, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a plan to explore
the sale of several smaller divisions in order to focus on core businesses. In
the first quarter of 2000, the Company sold the assets of the Ross Aluminum
Foundries Division ("Ross Aluminum") and the Michigan Automotive Research
Corporation ("MARCO") and its interest in the common stock of both units of the
Fluid Systems Division in three separate transactions. The aggregate proceeds,
which were approximately $52.5 million, were used to reduce outstanding debt.
The aggregate net gain of these transactions was approximately $10.0 million.
Subsequent to the sale of the assets of MARCO, the corporate name of Michigan
Automotive Research Corporation was changed
9
10
to EPMR Corporation. The Company continues to explore the sale of other smaller
divisions, which are expected to take place in 2000.
D. INSURANCE PROCEEDS
On February 24, 2000, the Company settled claims against a former insurer
regarding environmental remediation costs for $16.0 million. The Company
received payment of this amount on February 28, 2000.
E. LEGAL MATTERS
For other information on legal proceedings, see Item 3 of the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999.
In addition, the Company is involved in routine litigation, environmental
proceedings and claims pending with respect to matters arising out of the normal
course of business. In management's opinion, the ultimate liability resulting
from all claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
F. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: automotive and industrial
products. The method for determining what information to report is based on the
way management organizes the operating segments within the company for making
operational decisions and assessing performance. The operations in the
Automotive Segment provide mechanical and structural parts for passenger cars,
vans, trucks and sport utility vehicles for original equipment manufacturers and
replacement markets. The operations in the Industrial Products Segment produce a
variety of products for the aerospace, nuclear, telecommunications electronics,
food and beverage and construction industries.
The accounting policies used to develop segment information correspond to
those disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended November 30, 1999 included in Form 10-K. Sales between segments are not
material. The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to its
segments.
Information about reported segment income or loss is as follows for the
three months ended February 29(28), 2000 and 1999:

As previously mentioned, the Company sold its Ross Aluminum, MARCO and
Fluid Systems Divisions in the first quarter of 2000. All were included in the
Automotive Segment. The net assets of these divisions, which were included in
the caption "Net assets of operations to be sold," were $35.1 million as of
November 30, 1999.
G. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The indebtedness of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle-Picher
Industries, Inc. ("Subsidiary") includes a syndicated secured loan facility
("Credit Agreement") and $220.0 million in senior subordinated notes
("Subordinated Notes"). Both the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are
guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by the Company
and certain of the Subsidiary's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries ("Subsidiary
Guarantors") including Carpenter Enterprises Ltd., which was acquired in 1999,
and Eagle-Picher Acceptance Corporation, which was formed in 1999. Management
has determined that full financial statements and other disclosures concerning
the Subsidiary or the Subsidiary Guarantors would not be material to investors
and such financial statements are not presented. The following supplemental
condensed combining financial statements present information regarding the
Subsidiary, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the subsidiaries that did not
guarantee the debt.
The Subsidiary and the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to restrictions
on the payment of dividends under the terms of both the Credit Agreement and the
Indenture supporting the Subordinated Notes, both of which were filed with the
Company's Form S-4 Registration Statement No. 333-49957-01 filed on April 11,
1998 and both of which were incorporated by reference to the Company's Form 10-K
filed on February 28, 2000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Please refer to Note F. regarding Segment Reporting contained in Item 1.
of this report.
Net Sales. The Company's net sales were $221.8 million in the quarter
ended February 29, 2000, compared to $194.4 million in the comparable period in
1999. The increase of 14.1% is primarily due the acquisition of Carpenter
Enterprises Ltd. ("Carpenter"), which occurred in the second quarter of 1999. As
previously mentioned, the Company divested itself of the Ross Aluminum, MARCO
and Fluid Systems Divisions ("Divested Divisions") in the first quarter of 2000.
The Divested Divisions had little impact on the comparability of net sales in
the first quarters of 2000 and 1999 for two reasons. First, with the exception
of Ross Aluminum, which was sold effective January 1, 2000, these divestitures
occurred at or near the end of the quarter. Secondly, certain of the Divested
Divisions experienced revenue gains which nearly offset the loss of revenues
which occurred when Ross Aluminum was sold. Net sales were down 2.4% when the
effects of Carpenter and the Divested Divisions have been considered.
Net sales of the Automotive Group increased 31.3% in the first quarter of
2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999, primarily due to the Carpenter
acquisition. Excluding the effects of Carpenter and the Divested Divisions
(which were included in the Automotive Segment), automotive sales increased
3.0%. In the Automotive Group, the Company is under constant pressure from its
customers to reduce prices. In addition, the products it manufactures become
obsolete from time to time as customers change product designs and the Company
must compete for the replacement business. The North American automotive build
continues to be strong; however, the growth of the Company's automotive
component sales was tempered primarily by the discontinuation of certain
customer programs. At the same time, the acquisition of Carpenter has expanded
the Company's precision-machined automotive product lines.
In the Industrial Group, sales declined 7.8% in the first quarter of 2000
from the comparable period in 1999. Demand for aerospace products, particularly
related to satellites, has been soft as existing satellite programs have
struggled. In addition, demand for wheel-tractor scrapers weakened in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Declines resulting from
these items were somewhat offset by increases resulting from stronger demand for
heavy-duty forklift trucks, a large shipment of boron in the first quarter of
2000 and the growth of a newer program where parts are manufactured on a
contract basis for the construction equipment industry. The impact of the
Isonics acquisition was minimal in the first quarter of 2000; however, it is
expected that this business will complement the Company's existing boron
business, which serves the nuclear industry, in the future.
Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold (excluding depreciation
expense) was $177.6 million in the three months ended February 29, 2000 and
$151.7 million in the comparable period of 1999. The increase is primarily due
to the acquisition of Carpenter and the effects of the sales of the Divested
Divisions.
Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses were
$19.2 million and $18.3 million in the first quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 4.9% increase in selling and administrative expenses is due to
the expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2000 as a result of the Carpenter
acquisition and the restructuring of European Operations.
18
19
Depreciation. Depreciation expense was $12.3 million in the three months
ended February 29, 2000, a $2.2 million or 21.8% increase over the comparable
period in 1999. The additional depreciation in 2000 is due to the acquisition of
Carpenter in 1999.
Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles increased
slightly from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $4.1 million in 2000.
Excess of acquired net assets over cost (goodwill) and its related amortization
increased in the first quarter of 2000 due to the Carpenter and Isonics
acquisitions. These increases were partially offset, however, by the decline in
goodwill resulting from the write down of impaired goodwill in the fourth
quarter of 1999, which related to certain divisions which were held for sale,
and the sale of the Divested Divisions.
Proceeds from Insurance Settlement. The Company settled claims against a
former insurer regarding environmental remediation costs for $16.0 and received
such proceeds in the first quarter of 2000.
Gain on Sale of Divisions. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company sold
the assets of its Ross Aluminum and MARCO Divisions and its interest in the
common stock of the units of the Fluid Systems Division. The aggregate net
proceeds of and gain on these transactions were approximately $52.5 million and
$10.0 million, respectively.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.0 million and $11.3 million in
the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Two factors contributed to
this increase. First, the Company's debt level increased significantly in the
second quarter of 1999 when Carpenter was acquired and remained at a higher
level until the end of the first quarter of 2000 when the proceeds of the sales
of the Divested Divisions and the insurance settlement were received and applied
to the debt. Second, LIBOR rates, on which most of the Company's debt subject to
variable interest is based, were up as much as 75 basis points in the first
quarter of 2000 over the comparable period in 1999.
Income (Loss) Before Taxes. Income (loss) before taxes was $21.6 million
in the three months ended February 29, 2000 compared to $(0.8) million in the
same period in 1999. The incremental difference is comprised of basically four
items: 1) the receipt of $16.0 million of insurance proceeds in the first
quarter of 2000; 2) the $10.0 million gain resulting from the sale of the
Divested Divisions; 3) the increase in interest expense of $1.7 million; and 4)
the operating contribution of Carpenter in the first quarter of 2000.
Income before taxes in the first quarter of 2000 for the Automotive Group
was $10.3 million compared to $2.5 million in 1999. The increase is due
primarily to the $10.0 million gain on the sale of divisions, which was offset
by an aggregate decline in operating income and an increase in interest expense.
The decline in operating income was primarily due to the sale of the Ross
Aluminum Division and to continued manufacturing inefficiencies at the Fluid
Systems Division, which was sold February 29, 2000. This decline was offset by
the contribution of Carpenter in 2000 and modest increases in operating income
at other operations, which correspond to modest increases in net sales. The
increase in interest costs is a result of both the acquisition of Carpenter and
the overall increase in interest rates.
The Industrial Products Group had net losses before taxes of $(2.2)
million and $(0.9) million in the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively,
due primarily to the lower volumes of wheel-tractor scrapers, which resulted in
poor absorption of fixed overhead. In addition, start-up costs related to the
contract manufacturing of parts were heavier than expected. Interest costs
increased primarily due to higher interest rates.
Corporate income (loss) before taxes was $13.4 million in the three
months ended February 29, 2000 compared to $(2.4) million for the three months
ended February 28, 1999. If the insurance proceeds of $16.0 million are
excluded, the loss before taxes is comparable to that of the three months ended
February 28, 1999. These losses result because the Company does not allocate
certain corporate expenses to its segments.
19
20
Income Taxes. Income taxes and the effective rate of income tax vary for
several reasons, the most significant being the tax deductibility of goodwill. A
portion of the goodwill amortization relating to the Company's acquisition of
Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. is deductible, however the amount of goodwill that
has tax basis changes as contingent liabilities that existed for tax purposes at
the time of that acquisition are resolved. Amortization of the goodwill related
to the acquisition of Carpenter is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill
associated with certain of the Divisions which were divested was not deductible
for tax purposes, which resulted in a tax gain in excess of the gain on sales of
divisions recognized in the statement of income.
Net Income (Loss). Net income was $10.6 million in the three months ended
February 29, 2000 compared to a net loss of $(1.1) million in the three months
ended February 28, 1999. Factors contributing to the difference (discussed in
detail above) include the effects of the acquisition of Carpenter in the second
quarter of 1999, the effects of the divestiture of the Ross Aluminum, MARCO and
Fluid Systems Divisions, particularly the gain on the sale of those divisions,
and increased interest costs resulting from higher interest rates and increased
levels of debt.
Income applicable to common shareholders was decreased to $7.6 million by
dividends accreted on the 11 3/4% Cumulative Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred
Stock ("Preferred Stock") of $3.0 million in the three months ended February 29,
2000. The net loss applicable to common shareholders was increased to $(3.6)
million by preferred stock dividends of $2.5 million in the three months ended
February 28, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following are certain financial data regarding earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), cash flows and
earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends:

EBITDA
The Company's EBITDA is defined for purposes hereof as earnings before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain one-time
management compensation expenses and other non-cash items, such as gains and
losses on sales of divisions. EBITDA, as defined herein, may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income or to cash flows from operating
activities, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, as a
measure of the Company's operating performance or liquidity, respectively.
20
21
Funds depicted by EBITDA are not available for management's discretionary use to
the extent they are required for debt service and other commitments.
The Company's EBITDA for the three months ended February 29, 2000 was
$25.0 million, unchanged from the EBITDA of the comparable period in 1999 of
$25.1 million. Increases in EBITDA resulting from the Carpenter acquisition and
modest sales volume increases of rubber-coated metal products in the Automotive
Group were offset by decreases resulting from lower volumes of wheel tractor
scrapers and satellite components, start up costs related to contract
manufacturing of components for the construction equipment industry, the sale of
Ross Aluminum and inefficiencies related to the production of multi-layer fuel
transfer systems in Europe.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $22.4 million and $0.5 million
for the three months ended February 29(28), 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
consisted of the following:

===== =====
See "Results of Operations" for discussions concerning income (loss)
before taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sales of divisions and
interest expense.
Interest paid increased in 2000 due to the acquisition of Carpenter and
higher interest rates. Differences between interest expense and interest paid
result from amortization of deferred financing costs and the payment schedule
for interest on the Company's Subordinated Notes. The interest payments are due
semi-annually on March 1 and September 1; therefore, three months of interest
expense was accrued on these notes in the first quarters of both 2000 and 1999,
but was not paid until the following quarter.
The Company determined that no Federal income tax extension payment was
needed in 2000 for the tax year ended November 30, 1999. A portion of the
Federal income tax liability associated with the tax year ended November 30,
1998 was paid in fiscal year 1999.
Working capital generally increases in the first quarter of the year
resulting in a use of cash. Reasons for this include payment of incentives,
which had been accrued at the end of the year, and build up of inventories for
anticipated sales in the second quarter. Typically, the Company's net sales,
particularly in the Automotive Group, are higher in the second and fourth
quarters of the fiscal year.
21
22
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities was $40.4 million and $3.4 million
in the three months ended February 29 (28), 2000 and 1999, respectively. In the
first quarter of 2000, the Company sold the Ross Aluminum, MARCO and Fluid
Systems Divisions. The aggregate net proceeds of these transactions were $52.5
million. Early in the first quarter of 1999, the Company received $12.4 million
in cash relating to the sale of the Trim Division.
On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the depleted zinc
business of Isonics, which required $6.7 million cash at the closing. This
acquisition was financed from the Company's revolving credit facility.
Additional payments totaling $1.5 million are due over the next three years
provided certain contingencies are met. The Company also negotiated a warrant to
acquire four million shares of common stock of Isonics in exchange for materials
to be delivered in 2000. Effective March 15, 2000, the Company elected to
exercise its warrant using a "cashless exercise" feature, where the Company will
acquire fewer than four million shares of stock and pay for such shares by
surrendering a portion of the warrant. The number of shares the Company will
receive is currently being negotiated; however it is expected to be in excess of
3.1 million shares.
Capital expenditures were $6.4 million and $8.8 million in the first
quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Other than a small plant expansion in
1999, these expenditures generally related to capital needed for new programs
and maintenance.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $61.4 million in the first three
months of 2000, due primarily to repayments of loans under the various credit
agreements. The proceeds of the division sales and the insurance proceeds were
used to repay outstanding debt. Cash used in financing activities was $7.3
million for the comparable period in 1999. The Company made regularly scheduled
debt payments and the 1998 excess cash flow payment required by the Credit
Agreement in that period.
Earnings to Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for
the three months ended February 29(28) was 2.14x in 2000 and .76x in 1999. In
1999, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and preferred stock
dividends by $3.3 million. The increase in 2000 is due primarily to the receipt
of insurance proceeds and the gain on sales of divisions. If these items were
excluded from income before taxes, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and
preferred stock dividends would have been .55X and earnings would have been
insufficient to cover fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by $7.3
million. The resulting decrease from .76X to .55X is due to increased interest
resulting from the Carpenter Acquisition and higher interest rates coupled with
flat or declining operating results as discussed in "Results of Operations."
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement of $220.0 million is
available for both borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit. At
February 29, 2000 the Company had outstanding borrowings and letters of credit
under the Facility of $97.5 million and $52.1 million, respectively, leaving the
Company with available borrowing capacity of $70.4 million. The receipt of the
insurance proceeds and the proceeds of the division sales improved the Company's
liquidity since November 30, 1999. In addition, the borrowings outstanding on
the Company's European lines of credit were substantially reduced with the
proceeds of the sale of the Fluid Systems Division. The sale of the Fluid
22
23
Systems Division resolved the situation where the Company had to obtain a waiver
from a lender because a financial covenant to one of the European credit
agreements had not been met. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of
its Credit Agreement and Subordinated Notes at February 29, 2000.
The Company has an accounts receivable loan agreement ("Receivables
Agreement") which has a term of 364 days and which is expected to be renewed
over the term of the Credit Agreement. Excluding the Receivables Agreement,
scheduled debt repayments are $12.3 million in the remaining nine months of
2000. The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to make mandatory
repayments of 50% of annual cash flow as defined by the Credit Agreement, the
net proceeds from sales of assets (subject to certain conditions), the proceeds
of new debt issued and 50% of the net proceeds of any equity issued. No excess
cash flow payment is due in 2000 for the year ended November 30, 1999, and the
proceeds from the sales of the Divested Divisions are not required to be used to
repay debt if such proceeds are used to purchase assets within the period
specified in the Credit Agreement. Scheduled debt payments under the Credit
Agreement and the industrial revenue bonds for 2001 and 2002 are $20.8 million
and $25.6 million, respectively.
In addition to the sale of the Ross Aluminum, MARCO, and Fluid Systems
Division, the Company continues to explore the sale of other small divisions
which are expected to take place in 2000. Any proceeds resulting from the
eventual sales of the other divisions will be applied to reduce debt or to fund
future growth.
The Subsidiary has reached an agreement in principle to settle the last
remaining claim from its chapter 11 reorganization. It is anticipated the second
and final bankruptcy distribution of approximately $11.3 million will be made in
2000, after the settlement of this last claim is final.
Cash and cash equivalents were $11.5 million at February 29, 2000. The
Company estimates that it needs approximately $10.0 million to $12.0 million in
cash for operations. The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for debt
service and capital maintenance. The Company believes that its cash flows from
operations and available borrowings under its bank credit facilities will be
sufficient to fund its anticipated liquidity requirements for the next twelve
months. In the event that the foregoing sources are not sufficient to fund the
Company's expenditures and service its indebtedness, the Company would be
required to raise additional funds.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
The Company completed its Year 2000 readiness project as scheduled,
including addressing leap year calendar date calculation concerns. The Company
did not experience any significant disruptions in its operating or business
systems during the transition from 1999 to 2000 or on February 29, 2000. Based
on operations since January 1, 2000, the Company does not expect any impact to
its ongoing business as a result of the Year 2000 issue. The Company has spent
approximately $5.2 million (including capital and internal resources that were
redeployed) to assess, remediate and test its computer hardware, software and
embedded systems.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, eleven members of the European Union adopted the euro
as their common legal currency and established fixed conversion rates between
their existing local currencies and the euro. During the transition period,
which runs from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2002, transactions may take
place using either the euro or a local currency. However, conversion rates will
no longer be computed directly from one local currency to another, but be
converted from one local currency into an amount denominated in euro, then be
converted from the euro denominated amount into the second local currency. On
July 1, 2002, the local currencies will no longer be legal tender for any
transactions.

24
The Company has both operating divisions and domestic export customers
located in Europe. In 1999, combined revenues from these sources were
approximately 11% of total revenues. The Company has operations in Germany and
Spain, which are participating in the euro conversion, and the United Kingdom,
which has elected not to participate at this time. Certain of our European
operations have adopted the euro as their reporting currency, although many
transactions, such as payroll, some billing and vendor invoicing, still occur in
local currencies. The remaining operations located in the participating
countries plan to make the euro the functional currency sometime during the
transition period. The costs associated with the conversion to date have not
been material.
The Company is currently assessing the competitive impact of the euro
conversion on the Company's operations, both in Europe and in the United States.
In markets where sales are made in U.S. dollars, there may be pressures to
denominate sales in the euro, however, exchange risks resulting from these
transactions could be mitigated through hedging. Pressures to price products in
euros may be more urgent for operations located in the United Kingdom,
particularly in the automotive industry, as the European automotive industry is
somewhat dominated by German companies. The currency risk to the operations
located in the United Kingdom could also be hedged, however the risk is greater
on a regional level that the hedging could result in additional costs that could
harm the cost competitiveness of those operations.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses
resulting from changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the its
intended use and the resulting designation. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." Based on the new
effective date, the Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the
first quarter of the fiscal year ending November 30, 2001. The Company has not
yet determined the impact this statement will have on its financial position or
the results of its operations.
Other accounting standards issued by the FASB since June 1998 are not
applicable to the Company.
RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
The Subsidiary and the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to restrictions
on the payment of dividends and other forms of payment in both the Credit
Agreement and the Indenture for the Subordinated Notes. Those restrictions
generally prohibit the payment of dividends to the Company either directly by
the Subsidiary or indirectly through any Subsidiary Guarantor. Certain limited
exceptions are provided allowing for payments to the Company. Specifically, the
Subsidiary is authorized to make payments to the Company in amounts not in
excess of any amounts the Company is required to pay to meet its consolidated
income tax obligations. Additional payments from the Subsidiary to the Company
are permitted commencing September 1, 2003 in amounts not in excess of the
Company's obligations to make any cash dividend payments required to be paid
under the Company's Preferred Stock and to make any cash interest payments
required to be paid under any debentures issued by the Company in exchange for
the Company's Preferred Stock ("Exchange Debentures").

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
On February 26, 1998, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate
swap agreement ("Swap Agreement") with its lead bank to partially hedge its
interest rate exposure on variable rate loans under the Credit Agreement. Both
term loans and revolving credit loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest
at a variable rate equal to either (a) the average daily rate on overnight U.S.
federal funds transactions, or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate shown on
Telerate Page 3750 for the applicable interest period ("LIBOR"), plus, in either
case, an applicable spread. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate
of 5.805% on a notional amount of $150.0 million and receives LIBOR on that
amount, effectively fixing the interest rate on $150.0 million of debt
outstanding under the Credit Agreement at 5.805% plus the applicable spread.
Loans under the Company's accounts receivable loan agreement
("Receivables Agreement") bear interest at a variable rate equal to market rates
on commercial paper having a term similar to the applicable interest period. The
Company's industrial revenue bonds ("IRB's") bear interest at variable rates
based on the market for similar issues. Loans under the Receivables Agreement
and the IRB's are not covered by the Swap Agreement.
As of February 29, 2000, $175.1 million of revolving and term loans were
outstanding under the Credit Agreement, of which interest on $150.0 million is
essentially fixed by the Swap Agreement. The interest rate risk on the remaining
debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement, as well as the debt outstanding
under the Receivables Agreements and the IRB's, which in the aggregate totals
$107.5 million, has not been hedged. Accordingly, a 1% increase in the
applicable index rates would result in additional interest expenses of $1.1
million per year, assuming no change in the level of borrowing.
