NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
JULY 1, 2001
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at July 1,
2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three
month periods ended July 1, 2001 and July 2, 2000, have been included.
Results for the period ended July 1, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2002. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Columbus McKinnon Corporation annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001.
The Company is a broad-line designer, manufacturer and supplier of
sophisticated material handling products that are widely distributed to
industrial, automotive, and consumer markets globally; integrated material
handling solutions for industrial markets; and integrated material handling
solutions for the automotive markets. The Company's material handling
products are sold, domestically and internationally, principally to third
party distributors through diverse distribution channels, and to a lesser
extent directly to manufacturers and other end-users. The Company's
integrated material handling solutions industrial businesses also deal
primarily with end users and sales are concentrated, domestically and
internationally (primarily Europe), in the consumer products,
manufacturing, warehousing and, to a lesser extent, the steel,
construction, automotive and other industrial markets. The Company's
integrated material handling solutions automotive business primarily deals
with end users and sales are concentrated domestically and internationally
(primarily North America), in the automotive industry.
2. Inventories consisted of the following:
JULY 1, MARCH 31,
2001 2001
---------- -----------
(IN THOUSANDS)
At cost - FIFO basis:
Raw materials.................................................. $ 59,970 $ 60,908
Work-in-process................................................ 18,291 17,110
Finished goods................................................. 38,692 41,850
---------- -----------
116,953 119,868
LIFO cost less than FIFO cost..................................... (6,969) (6,650)
---------- -----------
Net inventories ................................................ $ 109,984 $ 113,218
========== ===========
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at
the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
Because these are subject to many forces beyond management's control,
interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
- 6 -
3. Property, plant, and equipment is net of $68,827,000 and $65,613,000 of
accumulated depreciation at July 1, 2001 and March 31, 2001, respectively.
4. Goodwill and other intangibles is net of $66,272,000 and $62,239,000 of
accumulated amortization at July 1, 2001 and March 31, 2001, respectively.
5. General and Product Liability - The accrued general and product liability
costs, which are included in other non-current liabilities, are the
actuarial present value of estimated expenditures based on amounts
determined from loss reports and individual cases filed with the Company,
and an amount, based on experience, for losses incurred but not reported.
The accrual in these condensed consolidated financial statements was
determined by applying a discount factor based on interest rates
customarily used in the insurance industry.
6. The carrying amount of the Company's senior debt instruments approximates
the fair value. The Company's subordinated debt has an approximate fair
value of $180,000,000, which is less than its carrying amount of
$199,640,000.
7. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share:

Effect of dilutive employee stock options...................... - -
---------- -----------
Adjusted weighted-average common stock outstanding
and assumed conversions - denominator for diluted EPS........ 14,391 14,287
========== ===========
8. Income tax (benefit) expense for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2001
and July 2, 2000 differs from the customary relationship between income tax
(benefit) expense and (loss) income before income taxes due to
nondeductible amortization of goodwill of $3,076,000 during both periods.
9. On April 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," as amended, which requires companies to carry all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines the
fair value of derivatives by reference to quoted market prices. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends
on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging
relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company's use of
derivative instruments is limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS
No. 133, of certain interest rate risks.
- 7 -
In order to provide interest rate risk protection, the Company entered into
an interest rate swap agreement in June of 2001 to effectively convert $40
million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The $40 million interest
rate swap agreement matures in June 2003. The cash flow hedge is considered
effective and the gain or loss on the change in fair value is reported in
other comprehensive income, net of tax.
The June 2001 interest rate swap is the only derivative instrument held by
the Company, as such there is no impact on the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at
April 1, 2001. The net impact of the derivative instrument was an increase
to other comprehensive income of $123,000 at June 30, 2001. The fair value
of the derivative at July 1, 2001 was a $205,000 asset.
10. As a result of the way the Company manages the business, its reportable
segments are strategic business units that offer products with different
characteristics. The most defining characteristic is the extent of
customized engineering required on a per-order basis. In addition, the
segments serve different customer bases through differing methods of
distribution. The Company has three reportable segments: material handling
products, material handling solutions - industrial, and material handling
solutions - automotive. The Company's material handling products segment
sells hoists, industrial cranes, chain, attachments, and other material
handling products principally to third party distributors through diverse
distribution channels. The material handling solutions - industrial segment
sells engineered material handling systems such as conveyors, manipulators,
and lift tables primarily to end-users in the consumer products,
manufacturing, warehousing, and, to a lesser extent, the steel,
construction, automotive, and other industrial markets. The material
handling solutions - automotive segment sells engineered material handling
systems, mainly conveyors, primarily to end-users in the automotive
industry. Intersegment sales are not significant. The Company evaluates
performance based on operating income of the respective business units
prior to the effects of amortization.
Segment information as of and for the three months ended July 1, 2001 and
July 2, 2000, is as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company is a broad-line designer, manufacturer, and supplier of
sophisticated material handling products that are distributed to industrial,
automotive and consumer markets globally; integrated material handling solutions
for industrial markets worldwide; and integrated material handling solutions for
the automotive markets. The Company's material handling products are sold,
domestically and internationally, principally to third party distributors
through diverse distribution channels. Distribution channels include general
distributors, specialty distributors, crane end users, service-after-sale
distributors, original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), government, consumer
and international. The general distributors are comprised of industrial
distributors, rigging shops and crane builders. Specialty distributors include
catalog houses, material handling specialists and entertainment equipment
riggers. The service-after-sale network includes repair parts distribution
centers, chain service centers, and hoist repair centers. Consumer distribution
channels include mass merchandisers, hardware distributors, trucking and
transportation distributors, farm hardware distributors and rental outlets. The
Company's integrated material handling solutions segments primarily deal
directly with end-users. Material handling solutions - industrial sales are
concentrated, domestically and internationally (primarily Europe), in consumer
products manufacturing, warehousing and, to a lesser extent, the steel,
construction, automotive, and other industrial markets. Material handling
solutions - automotive sales are concentrated, domestically and internationally
(primarily North America) in the automotive industry.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2001 AND JULY 2, 2000
Net sales in the fiscal 2002 quarter ended July 1, 2001 were $175,905,000, a
decrease of $12,473,000 or 6.6% from the fiscal 2001 quarter ended July 2, 2000.
Sales in the Products segment were down roughly 12.4% and sales in the
Solutions-Industrial segment decreased by 22.2% as a result of the ongoing
softness in industrial markets, particularly domestically. The
Solutions-Automotive segment had a sales increase of 15.3% as a result of
improving contract bookings. Sales in the individual segments were as follows,
in thousands of dollars and with percentage changes for each group:

The Company's gross profit margins were approximately 19.9% and 25.1% for the
fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin
is a combination of decreased volume and a shifting in sales mix to the lower
margin solutions segments. The gross profit margin in the Products segment
remained stable, considering the effects of a reclassification to cost of goods
sold from general and administrative expense, despite lower sales volume. The
Solutions-Industrial segment experienced decreased gross profit margins for the
fiscal 2002 quarter as a result of decreased volume. Gross profit margins in the
Solutions-Automotive segment were lower for the first quarter of 2002 compared
to the same period in the prior year due to continuing competitive pressures and
installation/staffing issues with respect to a series of contracts at a
particular site.
Selling expenses were $11,634,000 and $12,482,000 in the fiscal 2002 and 2001
quarters, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, selling
expenses were 6.6% for both the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters. The reduction is
due to cost control efforts and decreased volume in the Products segment.
General and administrative expenses were $7,367,000, and $10,340,000 in the
fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net
sales, general and administrative expenses were 4.2% and 5.5% in the fiscal 2002
and 2001 quarters, respectively. The decrease is the result of a
reclassification to cost of goods sold from general and administrative expense
and lower product liability expense recorded by the Company's captive insurance
company. This decreased product liability expense is the result of and offset by
the lower investment income shown on the interest income and other (expense)
income line.
Amortization of intangibles was $4,033,000 and $4,014,000 in the fiscal 2002 and
2001 quarters, respectively.
In conjunction with the continuation of its strategic integration process, the
Company incurred restructuring charges of $8,840,000 as a result of its decision
to close the Forrest City, Arkansas plant during the first quarter of fiscal
2002. The charges consist mainly of lease termination and employee separation
costs.
Income from operations decreased $17,294,000 or 84.9% in the fiscal 2002
quarter, compared to the fiscal 2001 quarter. This is based on income from
operations of $3,084,000 and $20,378,000 or 1.8% and 10.8% of consolidated net
sales for the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively.
Interest and debt expense was $8,576,000, and $9,281,000 in the fiscal 2002 and
2001 quarters, respectively. The fiscal 2002 decrease is the result of a
combination of decreasing debt levels and interest rates. As a percentage of
consolidated net sales, interest and debt expense was 4.9% for both the fiscal
2002 and 2001 quarters.
Interest income and other (expense) income was ($112,000) and $941,000 in the
fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively. The decrease in the current year
fiscal quarter is the result of lower investment earnings on assets in the
Company's captive insurance company.
Income taxes as a percentage of (loss) income before income taxes were (16.8)%
and 50.6% in the fiscal 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively. The percentages
differ from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of the effect of nondeductible
amortization of goodwill resulting from acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Revolving Credit Facility provides availability up to $225 million, due
March 31, 2003, against which $195.3 million was outstanding at July 1, 2001.
Interest is payable at varying Eurodollar rates based on LIBOR plus a spread
determined by the Company's leverage ratio amounting to 250 basis points at July
31, 2001. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by all equipment, inventory,
receivables, subsidiary stock (limited to 65% for foreign subsidiaries) and
intellectual property.
The senior subordinated 8 1/2% Notes issued on March 31, 1998 amounted to
$199,468,000, net of original issue discount of $532,000 and are due March 31,
2008. Interest is payable semi-annually based on an effective rate of 8.45%,
considering $1,902,000 of proceeds from rate hedging in advance of the
placement. Provisions of the 8 1/2% Notes include, without limitation,
restrictions of liens, indebtedness, asset sales, and dividends and other
restricted payments. Prior to April 1, 2003, the 8 1/2% Notes are redeemable at
the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the Make-Whole Price (as
defined in the 8 1/2% Notes agreement). On or after April 1, 2003, they are
redeemable at prices declining annually to 100% on and after April 1, 2006. In
the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture for such notes),
each holder of the 8 1/2% Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a
portion of such holder's 8 1/2% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof. The 8 1/2% Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements.
On April 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended, which requires companies to carry all derivatives on
the balance sheet at fair value. The Company's use of derivative instruments is
limited to cash flow hedges, as defined in SFAS No. 133, of certain interest
rate risks. In order to provide interest rate risk protection the Company
entered into an interest rate swap agreement in June of 2001, to effectively
convert $40 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The $40 million
interest rate swap agreement matures in June 2003.
The Company believes that its cash on hand, cash flows, and borrowing capacity
under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund its ongoing
operations, budgeted capital expenditures, and business acquisitions for the
next twelve months.
Net cash used by operating activities was $1,251,000 for the three months ended
July 1, 2001 compared to $3,842,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2000. The
$2,591,000 difference is due to the current loss from operations offset by
changes in net working capital components.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $2,559,000 for the three
months ended July 1, 2001 from $3,252,000 for the three months ended July 2,
2000.
Net cash used in provided by financing activities was $8,442,000 for the three
months ended July 1, 2001 compared to net cash provided by financing activities
of $2,298,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2000. The $10,740,000 decrease
is primarily the result of excess cash from year-end used to pay down debt.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
In addition to keeping its current equipment and plants properly maintained, the
Company is committed to replacing, enhancing, and upgrading its property, plant,
and equipment to reduce production costs, increase flexibility to respond
effectively to market fluctuations and changes, meet environmental requirements,
enhance safety, and promote ergonomically correct work stations. Consolidated
capital expenditures for the three months ended July 1, 2001 and July 2, 2000
were $1,309,000 and $1,929,000, respectively.
INFLATION AND OTHER MARKET CONDITIONS
The Company's costs are affected by inflation in the U.S. economy, and to a
lesser extent, in foreign economies including those of Europe, Canada, Mexico,
and the Pacific Rim. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a
material effect on results of operations over the periods presented because of
low inflation levels over the periods and because the Company has generally been
able to pass on rising costs through price increases. However, in the future
there can be no assurance that the Company's business will not be affected by
inflation or that it will be able to pass on cost increases.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Quarterly results may be materially affected by the timing of large customer
orders, by periods of high vacation and holiday concentrations, and by
acquisitions and the magnitude of acquisition costs. Therefore, the operating
results for any particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of
results for any subsequent fiscal quarter or for the full fiscal year.
EFFECTS OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in June of
2001. SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, but
tested for impairment. This statement, which will be effective for the Company's
fiscal year beginning after April 1, 2002, must be adopted at the beginning of
the fiscal year. At the present time, the Company has not determined the impact
of adoption.
