AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS- EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries ("the Company"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION During the first nine months of 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy"), Columbia Nut and Bolt Corp. ("Columbia"), Industrial Fasteners Corporation ("Industrial"), M.P. Colinet ("Colinet") and substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw & Bolt Co. ("St. Louis Screw") and PMC Industries ("PMC") for cash. Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company. Columbia and Industrial are logistics providers of fastener related components. St. Louis Screw is a manufacturer of bolts and PMC and Colinet provide capital equipment and associated parts for the oil drilling industry. Each of these transactions has been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price and the results of operations of each of these businesses prior to their respective dates of acquisition were not deemed to be significant as defined in Regulation S-X. During 1998, the Company completed the acquisitions of Direct Fasteners Limited ("Direct") and GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). The transactions have been accounted for as purchases. Direct is a logistics provider of fastener related components. Gateway is a logistics provider of fastener related components and manufacturer of fabricated metal products and fasteners. The aggregate purchase price and the results of operations of Direct and Gateway prior to their respective dates of acquisition were not deemed to be significant as defined in Regulation S-X. During September 1998, the Company completed the sale of the assets of Friendly and Safe Packaging Systems, Inc. to Kerr Group. The transaction had an immaterial effect on the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company.

The SOP requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. This statement was applied prospectively and is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The impact of this new standard did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, "Accounting for the Costs of Start-up Activities". The SOP requires that costs of start-up activities be expensed as incurred. The SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company adopted the SOP in the first quarter of 1999. The impact of adoption of the SOP on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows was immaterial. The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued in June 1998. Statement 133 requires derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting for three different types of hedges: hedges of changes in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments; hedges of the variable cash flows of forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations. Statement 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 9 10 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED NOTE H -- SEGMENTS During the first quarter of 1999 the Company, upon completion of the acquisition of Metalloy, redefined its operating segments. The Company retained its Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS") segment and further segregated its former Manufactured Products segment into an Aluminum Products segment and a Manufactured Products segment. ILS is a leading national supplier of fasteners (e.g. nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to original equipment manufacturers, other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such industrial products, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement solutions. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum components primarily for automotive original equipment manufacturers. In addition, Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and assembly. Manufactured Products is a diverse group of manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products which includes capital equipment, rubber products and forged and machined products for specific customer applications. Results by Business Segment were as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 SEPTEMBER 30 -------------------- -------------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales, including intersegment sales: ILS.......................................... $112,710 $ 86,781 $328,245 $270,243 Aluminum products............................ 29,686 9,620 98,433 29,383 Manufactured products........................ 35,691 36,969 109,729 111,012 -------- -------- -------- -------- $178,087 $133,370 $536,407 $410,638 ======== ======== ======== ======== Income before income taxes: ILS.......................................... $ 10,215 $ 8,421 $ 31,210 $ 25,125 Aluminum products............................ 1,860 306 8,975 1,411 Manufactured products........................ 3,957 2,861 6,694 7,305 -------- -------- -------- -------- 16,032 11,588 46,879 33,841 Amortization of excess purchase price over net assets acquired.......................

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED NOTE I -- FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS On June 3, 1999, the Company sold an additional $50 million of its 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. The Company used the net proceeds to reduce the amount borrowed under its credit facility. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. On November 1, 1999, the Company amended its credit agreement with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $175 million on an unsecured basis. Interest is payable quarterly at the prime lending rate less 1% to plus .2% or at Park-Ohio's election at LIBOR plus .9% to 2.2%. The interest rate is dependent on the aggregate amounts borrowed under the agreement. 11 12 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT Board of Directors and Shareholders Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based upon our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated February 15, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it is derived. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Cleveland, Ohio October 20, 1999 12 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 is not directly comparable on a period-to-period basis to the financial information for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 1998 due to acquisitions made in 1998 and 1999. During 1998, the Company acquired two businesses for $40.2 million. In October the Company acquired all of the shares of GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). Gateway is a logistics provider of fastener related components and a manufacturer of metal products and fasteners. In April the Company acquired all of the shares of Direct Fasteners Limited ("Direct"), a logistics provider of fastener related components located in Ontario, Canada. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company acquired six businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $65.2 million. In January, the Company acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy") and substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw & Bolt Co. ("St. Louis Screw"). Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company. St. Louis Screw is a manufacturer of bolts. In February, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of PMC Industries, ("PMC") and, in September, the Company acquired all of the shares of M.P. Colinet ("Colinet"). PMC and Colinet provide capital equipment and associated parts for the oil drilling industry. In July, the Company acquired all of the shares of Columbia Nut and Bolt Corp. ("Columbia") and Industrial Fasteners Corporation ("Industrial"). Columbia and Industrial are logistics providers of fastener related components. Each of these transactions has been accounted for as a purchase and consequently their results are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. OVERVIEW The Company operates diversified manufacturing and logistics businesses that serve a wide variety of industrial markets. The Company manages its businesses based upon three operating segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS"), Aluminum Products, and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading national supplier of fasteners (e.g., nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such industrial products, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement solutions. The principal customers of ILS are in the transportation, industrial, electrical and lawn and garden equipment industries. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum components primarily for automotive OEMs. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products engineered for specific customer applications. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs and end-users in the automotive, railroad, truck and aerospace industries. Between 1993 and 1998, the Company has grown significantly, both internally and through acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased at a 42% compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"), from $94.5 million to $551.8 million, and income from continuing operations on a fully taxed basis increased at a 40% CAGR from $2.4 million to $12.9 million. Recent growth has been primarily attributable to the Company's strategy of making selective acquisitions in order to complement internal growth. The Company has acquired businesses with potential for: (i) significant cost reductions through improved labor, supplier and customer relations and increased purchasing power and (ii) revenue enhancement due to better asset utilization and management practices, as well as increased access to capital. The Company's internal growth has been driven primarily by the addition of ILS customers under total fastening service ("TFS") contracts and by the leveraging of existing customer relationships in the Aluminum and Manufactured Products segments. Between January 1, 1994 and September 30, 1999, the Company's continuing operations incurred $77.4 million of capital expenditures, the majority of which was used to expand and upgrade existing manufacturing facilities and enhance the Company's management information systems. 13 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1999 VERSUS FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1998 Net sales increased by $125.8 million, or 31%, from $410.6 million for the first nine months of 1998 to $536.4 million for the first nine months of 1999. This growth results primarily from acquisitions that the Company has made subsequent to September 30, 1998 and relates primarily to the ILS and the Aluminum Products segments. For ILS, the growth in net sales amounted to $55.8 million of which $42.5 million related to acquisitive growth and the remainder to internal growth. For Aluminum Products, net sales increased by $69.0 million and related primarily to the acquisition of Metalloy. Gross profit increased by $25.5 million, or 36%, from $70.8 million for the first nine months of 1998 to $96.3 million for the first nine months of 1999 and is directly related to acquisitions made in the preceding twelve months. The Company's consolidated gross margin increased to 18.0% for the first nine months of 1999 from 17.2% for the first nine months of 1998. This increase in consolidated gross margin was due to increased margins in both the Aluminum Products and ILS segments offset by a slight decline in gross margins in the Manufactured Products segment. The increase in Aluminum Products was due to increased production at General Aluminum thereby allocating fixed manufacturing overhead over a greater production base and to the acquisition of Metalloy that has a higher overall gross margin than the existing business. The increase in margins in the ILS segment is primarily the result of the acquisitions having a higher gross margin than the existing business. Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 34% to $56.3 million for the first nine months of 1999 from $42.1 million for the first nine months of 1998. The increase was related to the acquisitions consummated subsequent to September 30, 1998. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 10.5% during the current period and 10.2% for the first nine months of 1998. The increase in rate for 1999 is caused by the acquisitions having a higher administrative expense relationship to sales than the existing core operations. Interest expense increased by $5.0 million from $12.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 to $17.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 due to higher average debt outstanding during the current period offset by lower average interest rates in 1999 versus 1998. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company averaged outstanding borrowings of $284.0 million as compared to $196.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The $87.3 million increase related primarily to acquisitions completed during the latter part of 1998 and the first nine months of 1999. The average borrowing rate of 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 is 31 basis points lower than the average rate of 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 primarily because of increased borrowings under the Company's bank revolving credit which carries a lower effective interest rate. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was 43%. At December 31, 1998, subsidiaries of the Company had $1.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. THIRD QUARTER 1999 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 1998 Net sales increased by $44.7 million, or 34%, from $133.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to $178.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This growth results primarily from acquisitions made subsequent to September 30, 1998 and relates primarily to the ILS and the Aluminum Products segments. For ILS, the growth in net sales amounted to $25.1 million of which $20.5 million related to acquisitive growth and the remainder to internal growth. For Aluminum Products, net sales increased by $20.1 million of which $18.3 related to the acquisition of Metalloy and the remaining $1.8 million related to internal growth. Gross profit increased by $7.6 million, or 32%, from $23.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to $31.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase was a result of acquisitions made in the last twelve months increasing gross profit by $10.5 million offsetting a decline in gross profit from 14 15 the existing businesses of $2.9 million. The decrease in gross profit from the existing businesses primarily related to ILS and was the result of production decreases at two agricultural customers, product mix changes and not realizing certain cost of goods improvements with vendors. All segments experienced increased margins compared to the year earlier period and were primarily due to acquisitions made in the preceding twelve months which had higher overall gross margins than the existing business. However, the Company's consolidated gross margin decreased slightly to 17.7% for the current period from 17.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in overall gross margins results from increased sales in the ILS and Aluminum Products segments which have lower gross margins compared to Manufactured Products. Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 25% to $18.1 million for the quarter ended September 30,1999 from $14.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The entire increase was related to acquisitions that have been consummated subsequent to the third quarter of 1998. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 10.2% in the current period and 10.9% in the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in rates results from cost reduction efforts and efficiencies realized in the core operations. Interest expense increased by $2.4 million from $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to $6.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 due to higher average debt outstanding during the current period and higher average interest rates in 1999 versus 1998. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company averaged outstanding borrowings of $308.0 million as compared to $203.9 million outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The $104.1 million increase related to acquisitions completed during the latter part of 1998 and the first nine months of 1999. The average borrowing rate of 8.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 is 40 basis points higher than the average rate of 8.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 primarily because of the $50 million add-on in June 1999, to the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes which carries a rate of 9.25% versus 6.6% on the bank debt it replaced. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of Senior Subordinated Notes. On November 1, 1999, Park-Ohio amended its credit agreement with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $175 million on an unsecured basis. The proceeds from the amended credit agreement, which expires on April 30, 2001, will be used for general corporate purposes. Amounts borrowed under the new credit agreement may be borrowed at Park-Ohio's election at either (i) the bank's prime lending rate less 100 basis points to plus 20 basis points or (ii) LIBOR plus 90-220 basis points depending on the aggregate amount borrowed under the new credit agreement. As of October 31, 1999, $125.5 million was outstanding under the facility. On June 3, 1999, the Company sold an additional $50 million of its 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 bringing the amount of Notes outstanding to $200 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes ($49.5 million) to repay outstanding bank borrowings. Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet current cash requirements. Capital expenditures for 1999 are projected to be approximately $15 million that will be used to invest in the Company's current facilities for projected new business, for scheduled improvements and new equipment to expand existing products. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.54 at September 30, 1999 versus 3.19 at December 31, 1998. Working capital increased by $11.6 million, after giving effect to acquisitions made subsequent to December 31, 1998, to $188.5 million at September 30, 1999 from $176.9 million at December 31, 1998. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company generated $27.9 million from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the use of $30.1 million in the operating accounts, the Company used $2.2 million from operating activities compared to providing $3.9 million for the 15 16 first nine months of 1998. During the period, the Company invested $13.2 million in capital expenditures, used $65.2 for acquisitions and used $3.2 million for other purposes, primarily the purchase of treasury shares. These activities were funded by issuing $49.5 million of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes, a net increase of $32.2 million in bank borrowings and cash of $2.1 million. YEAR 2000 CONVERSION The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of our computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. During 1996, we developed a Year 2000 Task Force, which was established to monitor and track the Year 2000 compliance at our operating units. The Task Force developed a Year 2000 plan in order to minimize the risk to our operating units and its customers. The plan to resolve the Year 2000 issues involves four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To date, the Task Force has completed its assessment of our computer hardware and software applications, process control equipment, and other non-information technology equipment. After taking into consideration investments in new equipment and systems that have already been made, this assessment has determined that with only a few exceptions, the systems are Year 2000 compliant. The exceptions require upgrades of software programs or changes to existing programs, which are nearly complete. The remediation and testing phases are currently underway, and upgrades and software corrections are being completed. The target for completion of all phases is by the end of November, 1999. We also expect critical contingency plans to be developed by the end of November, 1999, as well. Based upon the assessments and remediations completed to date, we do not expect that the Year 2000 issue with respect to our internal systems will have a material effect on our business operations, consolidated financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. In addition, the Task Force is continuing to review the Year 2000 compliance of our key suppliers, customers and service providers ("significant third parties") in an effort to reduce the potential adverse effect on our operations from non-compliance by those parties. Interfaces to external suppliers and customers are part of this assessment and validation process. As these significant third parties are reviewed, the Task Force intends to develop contingency plans, if necessary, for those parties that exhibit possible Year 2000 problems. We have identified the most likely risk of Year 2000 non-compliance as the risk that significant third parties will not be Year 2000 compliant. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, we are unable to determine at this time whether the consequence of third party Year 2000 compliance failures will have a material affect on our results of operations or financial condition. If Year 2000 compliance is not achieved by these significant third parties, over which we have no control, it could, depending on duration, have a material adverse effect on our operations. We are utilizing both internal and external resources to remedy, test, and implement the software and operating equipment for Year 2000 modifications. The total cost to achieve Year 2000 compliance is estimated at $9 million. Approximately 75% of this cost represents new systems, which the Company may have initiated during the period, notwithstanding the Year 2000 issue. To date, the Company has incurred approximately $8.8 million for Year 2000 modifications, with the majority of these costs for the conversion/development of systems. The remaining $.2 million will be funded through operating cash flows. We generally do not separately identify the direct costs of internal employees working on Year 2000 projects. SEASONALITY; VARIABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS As a result of the significant growth in our net sales and operating income in recent years, seasonal fluctuations have been mitigated. However, the Company's results of operations are stronger in the first six months rather than the last six months due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shut downs and holidays in the fourth quarter. 16 17 The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers' finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of our business units. This variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward- looking statements, including without limitation, discussion regarding the Company's anticipated levels of capital expenditures, financial resources and the Year 2000 conversion. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions, competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation and quality; raw material availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into existing operations; changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates and tax rates; increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations including those affecting the environment; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims; dependence on the automotive industry; dependence on key management; dependence on information systems; and our ability, as well as the ability of our vendors and customers to achieve Year 2000 compliance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1999, and for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent accountants, and their report is included herein. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on our floating rate revolving credit facility which consisted of borrowings of $125 million at September 30, 1999. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of $.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999. 17 18 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
