In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of
the Consumer  Products  segment.  This  segment is  comprised  of the  following
businesses:  Precor  specialty  exercise  equipment,  West Bend  appliances  and
premium  cookware,  and Florida Tile ceramic tile.  The  Company's  consolidated
financial  statements  for all  periods  have been  restated  to  present  these

sale  transactions  by the end of 2002,  and does not  expect to incur a loss on
their  disposal.  As  of  June  30,  2002,  none  of  the  businesses  had  been

(5) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  cost  over  fair  value of the net  assets of
purchased businesses.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS
142, the Company will no longer  amortize  goodwill and  intangibles  which have
indefinite  lives.  SFAS 142 also requires that the Company assess  goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, based on the
fair value of the related  reporting  unit or intangible  asset.  On an on-going
basis,  the Company expects to perform its annual  impairment  assessment in the
first quarter of each year.

As an initial step in the SFAS 142 implementation  process, the Company assigned
its goodwill and intangibles to approximately 300 of its reporting units.  Then,
the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying  value.  Fair
values were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows.

Based on the  Company's  initial  impairment  testing,  goodwill and  intangible
assets were reduced by  $262,816,000  and a net after-tax  impairment  charge of
$221,890,000  ($0.72 per diluted share) was recognized as a cumulative effect of
change in  accounting  principle in the first  quarter of 2002.  The  impairment
charge was related to  approximately  40 businesses and primarily  resulted from
evaluating  impairment under SFAS 142 based on discounted cash flows, instead of
using undiscounted cash flows per the previous accounting standard.

The  changes in the  carrying  amount of  goodwill by segment for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 were as follows:

Operating   revenues  increased  4%  in  the  second  quarter  and  2%  for  the
year-to-date  period as a result of base business  revenues  increasing by 1% in
the second quarter and decreasing by 1% on a  year-to-date  basis.  Acquisitions
increased revenues by 3% for both periods.  Base business revenues increased for
the second  quarter of 2002 mainly due to strong  demand in the  automotive  end
markets.  For the year-to-date  period,  higher base business  revenues from the
automotive  businesses  were  offset by  weakness  in the  industrial  plastics,
machined   components,   construction,   polymers  and   electronics   packaging
businesses.  Operating income  increased 11% and 12% for the respective  periods
primarily  due to lower  nonrecurring  costs and cost  control  measures  in the
automotive  and  construction  businesses.  Margins  increased 120 and 170 basis
points, respectively, due to increased revenues and reduced costs.

For the second quarter of 2002,  operating revenue increased 3% primarily due to
a 2% increase from  acquisitions,  a 1% base business increase and a 1% increase
related  to  currency  fluctuation.  Base  business  revenue  increases  in  the
construction,  industrial  plastics and  electronics  packaging  businesses were
offset by lower sales in the automotive  operations.  For the six-month  period,
revenues  decreased 2% mainly due to a base business  revenue  decrease of 1%, a
decrease  related to currency  translation of 2%, and lower revenues  related to
divestitures of 1%,  partially offset by increased  acquisition  revenues of 2%.
Operating  income  increased  21% the second  quarter and remained  flat for the
first half of 2002, with corresponding  margin gains of 230 and 30 basis points.
Income and margin  improvements in the second quarter were primarily  related to
the construction,  industrial plastics and electronics packaging units. Currency
translation  had no  impact on  operating  income in the  second  quarter  and a
negative 1% impact on year-to-date operating income.

In 2002,  operating  revenues were  essentially  flat for the second quarter and
decreased 1% for the year-to-date  period.  Base business revenue declines of 5%
and 6% for the three-month and six-month periods,  respectively,  were offset by
acquisition revenue increases of 4% and 5%, respectively. For both periods, base
business  revenue  decreases in the  industrial  packaging,  food  equipment and
finishing  businesses  were  offset  by  increases  in the  welding  businesses.
Operating  income  increased 6% in the second  quarter and 4%  year-to-date  due
mainly to acquisitions and cost  containment  strategies.  Margins  increased 90
basis points and 70 basis points,  respectively,  due to lower costs in the food

OPERATING EXPENSES

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 65.8% in the first six
months  of  2002  versus  66.5%  in  2001  due to  cost  improvements.  Selling,
administrative,  and research and development  expenses as a percent of revenues
in the first half of 2002 versus 2001 were flat.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS
142, the Company will no longer  amortize  goodwill and  intangibles  which have
indefinite  lives.  SFAS 142 also requires that the Company assess  goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, based on the
fair value of the related  reporting  unit or intangible  asset.  On an on-going
basis,  the Company expects to perform its annual  impairment  assessment in the
first quarter of each year.

As an initial step in the SFAS 142 implementation  process, the Company assigned
its goodwill and intangibles to approximately 300 of its reporting units.  Then,
the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying  value.  Fair
values were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows.

Based on the  Company's  initial  impairment  testing,  goodwill and  intangible
assets were reduced by  $262,816,000  and a net after-tax  impairment  charge of
$221,890,000  ($0.72 per diluted share) was recognized as a cumulative effect of
change in  accounting  principle in the first  quarter of 2002.  The  impairment
charge was related to  approximately  40 businesses and primarily  resulted from
evaluating  impairment under SFAS 142 based on discounted cash flows, instead of
using undiscounted cash flows per the previous accounting standard.

Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was $5,246,000 and
$10,118,000   for  the  three  months  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  2002,
respectively,  and $4,755,000 and $9,434,000 for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2001, respectively.

All pro forma data  presented  in this  report  reflect the  elimination  of the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in prior years.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased to $35.9 million in the first six months of 2002 from
$35.5 million in 2001.

OTHER INCOME

Other  income was $4.1 million for the first half of 2002 versus $0.4 million in
2001,  primarily  due to losses on the sale of plant and  equipment  in 2001 and
higher interest income in 2002.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Income from continuing operations of $459.6 million ($1.49 per diluted share) in
the first six months of 2002 was 10.3%  higher than 2001 income from  continuing
operations of $416.9 million ($1.36 per diluted share).

Pro forma net income from  continuing  operations of $459.6 million in the first
six months of 2002 was 1.9%  higher than 2001 pro forma  income from  continuing
operations of $451.1 million. Net income from continuing  operations per diluted
share of $1.49 for the first six months of 2002 was 1.4%  higher  than pro forma
net income from  continuing  operations per diluted share of $1.47 for the first
six months of 2001.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in the first six
months  of 2002  decreased  operating  revenues  for the  first  half of 2002 by
approximately  $30  million and reduced  earnings  by  approximately  1 cent per
diluted share.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of
the Consumer Products segment.  Businesses in this segment are located primarily
in North America and manufacture  household products that are used by consumers,
including  West Bend small  electric  appliances  and premium  cookware,  Precor
specialty  exercise equipment and Florida Tile ceramic tile. The Company intends
to dispose of these businesses through sale transactions by the end of 2002, and
does not expect to incur a net loss on the disposal of the  segment.  As of June
30, 2002, none of the businesses had been sold.

Operating results for the discontinued operations were as follows:

Margin %                  4.7%        (.5%)        6.6%         .7%

Operating revenues increased slightly in both periods of 2002 versus 2001 due to
higher sales of specialty  exercise  equipment  offset by lower small  appliance
revenues.  Operating  income and  margins  increased  significantly  due to cost
improvements in the exercise equipment business.
