NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 (All dollar amounts are in thousands) (unaudited) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FISCAL PERIOD - The Company uses a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year. Fiscal periods end on the Sunday nearest the end of the month. For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if they ended on the last day of the calendar period. The three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 each contained thirteen weeks and twenty six weeks respectively. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MagneTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. EARNINGS PER SHARE - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per share. Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 consist of the following: December 31 June 30 ----------- --------- Raw materials and stock parts $ 67,274 $ 64,714 Work-in-process 39,723 38,620 Finished goods 104,811 93,496 ----------- --------- $211,808 $196,830 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In December, 1996 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were named as defendants in a suit filed by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, alleging breach of the 1986 agreement by which the Company acquired certain businesses from Cooper. At issue in the litigation is the question of which party has responsibility in connection with pending lawsuits (the "asbestos lawsuits") involving numerous plaintiffs who allege injurious exposure to asbestos contained in products manufactured by current or former subsidiaries and divisions of Cooper. Cooper claims that the Company is obligated to defend and indemnify Cooper in connection with the asbestos lawsuits. The Company has denied that it is obligated under the agreement to defend and indemnify Cooper in connection with the asbestos lawsuits, and has filed a counterclaim asserting that Cooper is obligated under the agreement to defend and indemnify the Company in connection with the asbestos lawsuits and that certain insurance coverage available to Cooper should be applied to the asbestos lawsuits. The Company and Cooper have engaged in settlement discussions. In July 1998, the Court granted partial summary judgement in favor of the Company, ruling that the Company has no obligation to indemnify Cooper in connection with the asbestos lawsuits. Management of the Company does not believe that the financial impact of the foregoing legal proceeding will be material to operating results or the financial position of the Company. In April 1998, Ole K. Nilssen filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging the Company is infringing on seven of his patents pertaining to electronic ballast technology. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction to preclude the Company from making, using or selling those products allegedly infringing his patents. The Company denies that it has infringed, or is infringing, any of the plaintiff's patents, and has asserted several affirmative defenses. The Company also filed a counterclaim seeking judicial declaration that it is not infringing (and has not infringed) the patents asserted by the plaintiff, and that such asserted patents are invalid. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously. Due to the early state of the litigation, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the foregoing legal proceeding. However, management of the Company does not believe that the financial impact of such litigation will be material to operating results or the financial position of the Company. 4. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of the first quarter of fiscal 1999. SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components, however it has no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity. SFAS 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments, which, prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been restated to conform to the requirements of SFAS 130. During the second quarter of fiscal 1999 comprehensive losses were $2,612 versus comprehensive income of $8,485 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the first six months of fiscal 1999 and 1998, comprehensive income was $9,664 and $15,847 respectively. 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

REPOSITIONING COSTS In fiscal 1996, as a result of significant declines in sales and profit margins in both electronic and magnetic ballasts, the Company initiated a review and analysis of actions to reduce costs and improve future flexibility and profitability, focused to a large extent in its Lighting products business. Subsequent to review and approval by the Company's Board of Directors, certain reserves were established and charges recorded in the year ended June 30, 1996. These charges were associated with a variety of repositioning actions and included severance, termination benefits and asset write-downs related to facility closures. Reserves were also established for estimated increases in warranty (primarily related to the electronic ballast product line) and other costs. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the majority of the activity associated with these reserves has been completed, with the exception of those related to warranty claims. The magnitude of claims incurred since June of 1996 (approximately one-half of the warranty period), have been significantly less than originally projected. In addition, the Company has successfully recovered almost three million dollars from a single vendor in a structured settlement of a claim made for defective components used in certain of the ballasts. As a result of lower warranty claims and the recoveries, the Company recognized a credit to the original reserve of $5,100 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Also, in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, due to softening economic conditions, consolidation of certain power supplies facilities and the pending sale of its generator business to Emerson Electric, the Company established a reserve for severance and related costs of $5,100. The re-evaluation of the warranty liability and the recording of the reserve for severance were offsetting occurrences with no impact on earnings per share for the quarter. 7. SALE OF GENERATOR PRODUCT LINE During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company announced that it has agreed in principle to sell its generator business which produces alternators for use with diesel and natural gas generators sets to Emerson Electric for $115 million subject to the completion of due diligence. Proceeds from the sale could be used for debt repayment, continued share repurchases and acquisitions. ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 VS. 1997 NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT. MagneTek's net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $279.5 million, a 6.4% decrease from the second quarter of fiscal 1998 at $298.5 million. Sales in the Motors and Controls segment declined 8.7% due to lower sales of generators, residential fractional horsepower motors, and drives products. Sales in the Lighting Products segment fell 7.6% primarily due to reduced electronic ballast revenues in domestic markets and lower magnetic ballast sales in Europe. Compact fluorescent ballast sales improved both domestically and in Europe. Power Supplies segment sales increased 4.6% due entirely to the acquisition of Omega Power Systems in June of 1998. Excluding sales of Omega Power Systems, segment sales were lower than the year earlier period by 3%, due to weaker sales in Europe from key customers (e.g. IBM, Siemens). Versus the year earlier period, sales of European lighting products and power supplies benefited modestly from slightly stronger local currency translation to U.S. dollars. The Company's gross profit decreased to $48.8 million (17.5% of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from $58.3 million (19.5% of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The decline in gross profit was a combination of lower sales volume and lower production levels. Large volume customers for which demand was adversely affected by Asian and domestic economic changes pared requirements, most notably in generator and power supplies products. In response to these changes, manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Europe engaged in extended plant shutdowns in the quarter to offset slackening demand and mitigate further increases to inventory levels. The Lighting Products segment gross margin levels improved (expressed as a percent of net sales) from prior year levels primarily due to earlier plant consolidation programs. Production capability for the domestic lighting business is now focused almost entirely in Mexico. OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $39.5 million (14.2% of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $39.7 million (13.3% of net sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. With revenue losses concentrated in large customers with typically lower support costs, spending levels dropped less than would be expected. Spending comparisons were negatively impacted by the acquisition of Omega Power Systems for which selling, general and administrative costs did not exist in the prior year quarter. INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE. Interest expense was $4.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the $3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Approximately one-half of the increase in interest expense was due to the purchase of Omega Power Systems in June of 1998 and the remaining increase related to higher working capital balances. NET INCOME. The Company recorded an after-tax profit of $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to an after-tax profit of $9.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The tax provision in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $1.1 million (32% effective tax rate) versus $5.1 million (36% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The lower provision for taxes reflects the Company's projected lower deferred tax asset valuation requirement and a reduction in certain foreign tax rates. The Company expects this lower overall rate to continue throughout the year. ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 VS. 1997 NET SALES AND GROSS PROFIT. Net sales for MagneTek in the first six months of fiscal 1999 were $569.4 million a 2.7% decline from $585.0 million of sales in the first six months of fiscal 1998. Sales in the Lighting Products segment slipped 4.9%. The majority of the reduction occurred in the magnetic and electronic ballast products. Revenues for both compact fluorescent and HID (high intensity discharge) ballasts improved from the earlier six-month period. Pricing continues to be competitive in both domestic and foreign markets. Motors and Controls segment revenues dropped 3.8% from the previous year levels. Aggregate motor sales increased slightly for the period but were more than offset by lower sales for both generator and drives products. Power supply segment sales increased by 7.4%. Results include the effect of the acquisition of Omega Power Systems, without which, segment sales comparisons were flat with the year earlier period. Gross profits were $104.1 million (18.3% of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1999 compared to $115.7 million (19.8% of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1998. Reduced gross profit levels occurred in each segment but were most pronounced in Motors and Controls. Weaker revenues in residential fractional horsepower motors and generators, coupled with downward changes in production levels and extended plant shutdowns during December, eroded performance. Results for the Lighting Products segment, while unfavorably affected by sales volume, benefited from earlier plant consolidations to lower cost facilities. Power Supplies results were adversely affected by factors similar to motor and controls, volume losses from key customers and lower production rates. OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $76.1 million (13.4% of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1999 versus $79.9 million (13.7% of net sales) in the first six months of fiscal 1998. Reduced spending occurred primarily in the administrative area. Lower expenditures in travel, legal, consulting and development costs contributed to the favorable spending. The Company also had lower salary and related costs as manning levels were reduced. INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE Interest expense was $9.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 1999 compared to $8.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998. Interest rates are generally lower on the Company's floating rate debt, however borrowing levels have increased due to the funding of the Omega acquisition and increased investment in working capital. NET INCOME The Company recorded an after-tax profit of $11.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 1999 compared to an after-tax profit of $16.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The tax provision in the first six months of fiscal 1998 was $5.4 million (32% effective tax rate) versus $9.3 million (36% effective tax rate) in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The Company expects this lower overall rate to continue throughout fiscal 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has a Bank Loan Agreement which provides for borrowings of up to $350 million under a revolving loan facility through June, 2002. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the bank's prime lending rate or, at the London Interbank Offered rate plus five eights of one percent. As of December 31, 1998 the Company had approximately $78 million of available borrowings under the Bank Loan Agreement. At present, the Bank Loan Agreement provides both short term working capital availability and longer term financing needs for the Company. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the repurchase of up to five million shares of its common stock. Through the first six months of fiscal 1999, the Company repurchased 633,200 shares for approximately $7.4 million through open market transactions. In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, due to softening economic conditions, consolidation of certain power supplies facilities and the pending sale of its generator business to Emerson Electric, the Company established a reserve for severance and related costs of $5,100. The re-evaluation of the warranty liability and the recording of the reserve for severance were offsetting occurrences with no impact on earnings per share for the quarter (see Note 6). During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company announced that it has agreed in principle to sell its generator business to Emerson Electric (see Note 7). IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 As previously reported in the 1998 Annual Report, the Company initiated in fiscal 1997 a comprehensive systems review, which resulted in the purchase of an Oracle "Enterprise Resource Planning" software package. While the primary purpose of the software was to improve business processes, it also enables the Company to resolve Year 2000 issues. Though the first six months of fiscal 1999, the Company has completed approximately 65% of its system conversion. The Company currently expects to complete conversion of all software to eliminate Year 2000 problems by early in the second half of calendar 1999. Total costs of the project are anticipated at approximately $16 million of which approximately $12 million has been spent through the first six months of fiscal 1999. Management believes that the likelihood of a material adverse impact due to problems with internal systems is remote. The Company has also initiated an evaluation of other potential areas which could be impacted by the Year 2000 issue. The Company has, and continues to contact critical suppliers to determine that the products and services they provide are Year 2000 compliant. These external vendor products and systems are expected to function properly in the Year 2000. Notwithstanding those efforts, there can be no assurance that another company's failure to ensure Year 2000 capability would not have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company will conduct periodic reviews to monitor implementation plans associated with the Year 2000 problem. In the event these reviews would indicate the Company's implementation dates are at risk, contingency plans will be established. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
