TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Federal securities laws which, while reflective of management's beliefs or
expectations, involves certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
the control of Top Air Manufacturing, Inc. ("Top Air" or the "Company").
Accordingly, the Company's actual results and the timing of certain events could
differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed in
the section captioned "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation" and those factors discussed in Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales:
The Company's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 30% to
$2,904,971 compared to $2,240,909 for the same period last year. The increase
was a result of incremental sales of approximately $1,271,000 derived from the
acquisition of Parker Industries ("Parker") offset by a decrease in sales of Top
Air's other product lines of approximately $607,000. The decrease in sales of
Top Air's other product lines was a result of the continuing farm recession that
began in the spring of 1998, which management believes has caused farmers to
postpone purchases of equipment in their operations. This sales decrease was
anticipated, and the Company has taken several steps believed by management to
be appropriate to control operating costs and overhead during this recessionary
period. Such steps include the permanent closing of the Company's production
facility in Onarga, Illinois, the intended sale of the land, buildings and
machinery located at such facility and temporary plant shutdowns which have
occurred or are planned for the Company's production facilities located in Cedar
Falls, Iowa and Jefferson, Iowa. The Company is also increasing its volume of
subcontract work for other companies in order to increase plant utilization.
Operating Costs & Expenses:
The Company's cost of goods sold for the quarter ended August 31, 1999 increased
to 82% of net sales compared to 73% for the first quarter of the previous year.
The increase as a percentage of sales, was primarily a result of the decline in
the sales of Top Air's other product lines, which have historically had higher
gross margins than the Parker products that are now incrementally included in
the sales mix.
Operating expenses increased 29% to $1,108,546 for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to $859,183 for the previous year. The increase was primarily a
result of the incremental expenses incurred from the Parker acquisition offset
by a 4% decrease in operating expenses at Top Air.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense increased 91% to $224,548 compared to $117,637 for the first
quarter of last year. The increase was due to higher levels of short-term and
long-term debt outstanding during the period incurred primarily to finance the
acquisition of Parker.

TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Income Taxes:
The income tax credits of $287,700 and $131,931 for the quarters ended August
31, 1999 and 1998, represent the benefit that would be received if the loss of
the quarter was carried back to reclaim income tax paid in prior years.
Net Income (Loss):
As a result of the factors discussed herein, the Company recorded a net loss of
$511,607 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999, as compared to a net loss of
$225,821 for the same period last year. Although the results for the first
quarter of the current year are lower than last year's first quarter results,
management believes the aforedescribed steps taken or to be implemented by the
Company in response to the current condition of the farm economy should improve
fiscal year 2000 results when compared to fiscal year 1999.
Material Changes in Financial Position:
The Company's loss from operations of $511,607 was primarily responsible for the
decrease in working capital of $485,414.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At August 31, 1999 the Company had working capital of $8,030,530 an increase of
$2,546,999 over a year ago and a decrease of $485,414 since May 31, 1999. The
increase from a year ago is primarily a result of approximately $4,400,000 of
working capital picked-up with the acquisition of Parker on March 5, 1999 offset
by approximately $1,600,000 of losses from operations. The decrease since May
31, 1999 is described in the changes in financial position above. The current
ratio decreased to 1.98 from 2.07 at May 31, 1999. The Company anticipates no
significant outlays for property and equipment in the foreseeable future. The
Company believes it has access to sufficient working capital to support its
current needs for the foreseeable future.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure:
The Company has developed a Year 2000 Plan to assess the Company's vulnerability
to system failures that may arise from the Millennium change and potentially
could impact the Company adversely. These threats have been identified, and
priorities have been established to address these risks, based on the financial
threat or seriousness of the implications. The project's primary emphasis has
been to look at the risks with the most severe financial implication first, and
then to address these critical problems. The Company believes its review and
identification process has been comprehensive, specifically including:
o Vendors/Suppliers, including Utility Services;
o Central Accounting System;
o Office Systems;
o Building Systems;
o Factory Machinery and Equipment;
o Transportation Equipment;
6
TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
o Engineering Systems; and
o Customer Relations.
The Company believes that all mission critical risks have been reviewed or
identified and resolved. The Company has been advised that its main computer
hardware and software systems will continue to function through the Millennium
change. The Company believes its other equipment will not be adversely affected
by the Millennium change or other factors mitigate against such risks. Utilities
that service the Company are unable to provide absolute assurances on Year 2000
reliability. Each believes that their own equipment is reliable, but can make no
further assurance. The Company is developing contingency plans to address such
possibilities. To date, the Company has met all major deadlines set by its Year
2000 Plan, and the Company anticipates addressing all of the identified risks
well before the Millennium change.
The Company believes the implementation of the final aspects of its Year 2000
Plan, and the actions and costs required to prepare all remaining Company
systems for the Millennium change will not have a material impact on its
business, operations or financial condition.
Based upon the actions taken by the Company and the information it has received
to date, the Company does not believe that the Millennium change will materially
affect its customers and vendors and the Company does believe that its
contingency plans, if required to be implemented, will be successful.
