PART I
Item 1. Business
Twin Disc designs, manufactures and sells heavy duty off-highway power
transmission equipment. Products offered include: hydraulic torque
converters; power-shift transmissions; marine transmissions and surface
drives; universal joints; gas turbine starting drives; power take-offs and
reduction gears; industrial clutches; fluid couplings and control systems. The
Company sells its product to customers primarily in the construction
equipment, industrial equipment, government, marine, energy and natural
resources and agricultural markets. The Company's worldwide sales to both
domestic and foreign customers are transacted through a direct sales force and
a distributor network. There have been no significant changes in products or
markets since the beginning of the fiscal year. The products described above
have accounted for more than 90% of revenues in each of the last three fiscal
years.
Most of the Company's products are machined from cast iron, forgings, cast
aluminum and bar steel which generally are available from multiple sources and
which are believed to be in adequate supply.
The Company has pursued a policy of applying for patents in both the United
States and certain foreign countries on inventions made in the course of its
development work for which commercial applications are considered probable.
The Company regards its patents collectively as important but does not
consider its business dependent upon any one of such patents.
The business is not considered to be seasonal except to the extent that
employee vacations are taken mainly in the months of July and August
curtailing production during that period.
The Company's products receive direct widespread competition, including from
divisions of other larger independent manufacturers. The Company also
competes for business with parts manufacturing divisions of some of its major
customers. Ten customers accounted for approximately 45% of the Company's
consolidated net sales during the year ended June 30, 2000. Two customers,
Caterpillar Inc. and Sewart Supply, Inc., accounted for approximately 6% and
10%, respectively, of consolidated net sales in 2000.
Unfilled open orders for the next six months of $52,991,000 at June 30, 2000
compares to $39,892,000 at June 30, 1999. Since orders are subject to
cancellation and rescheduling by the customer, the six-month order backlog is
considered more representative of operating conditions than total backlog.
However, as procurement and manufacturing "lead times" change, the backlog
will increase or decrease; and thus it does not necessarily provide a valid
indicator of the shipping rate. Cancellations are generally the result of
rescheduling activity and do not represent a material change in backlog.
Management recognizes that there are attendant risks that foreign governments
may place restrictions on dividend payments and other movements of money, but
these risks are considered minimal due to the political relations the United
States maintains with the countries in which the Company operates or the
relatively low investment within individual countries. The Company's business
is not subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the
election of the Government.
Engineering and development costs include research and development expenses
for new product development and major improvements to existing products, and
other charges for ongoing efforts to refine existing products. Research and
development costs charged to operations totaled $1,852,000, $2,505,000 and
$3,104,000 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Total engineering and
development costs were $6,322,000, $7,829,000 and $8,833,000 in 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

Item 1. Business (continued)
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment, is not anticipated to have a material effect on capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.
The number of persons employed by the Company at June 30, 2000 was 999.
A summary of financial data by segment for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999
and 1998 appears in Note I to the consolidated financial statements on pages
31 through 33 of the 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, which financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K Annual Report in
Part II.
Item 2.Properties
The Company owns two manufacturing, assembly and office facilities in Racine,
Wisconsin, U.S.A. and one in Nivelles, Belgium. The aggregate floor space of
these three plants approximates 677,000 square feet. One of the Racine
facilities includes office space which is the location of the Company's
corporate headquarters. The Company leases additional manufacturing, assembly
and office facilities in Decima, Italy.
The Company also has operations in the following locations, all of which are
used for sales offices, warehousing and light assembly or product service.
The following properties are leased:
Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.A. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Miami, Florida, U.S.A. Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Loves Park, Illinois, U.S.A. Auckland, New Zealand
Coburg, Oregon, U.S.A. Singapore
Kent, Washington, U.S.A. Shanghai, China
Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. Viareggio, Italy
Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaChambery, France
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
The properties are generally suitable for operations and are utilized in the
manner for which they were designed. Manufacturing facilities are currently
operating at less than 68% capacity and are adequate to meet foreseeable needs
of the Company.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Twin Disc is a defendant in several product liability or related claims
considered either adequately covered by appropriate liability insurance or
involving amounts not deemed material to the business or financial condition
of the Company.
The Company has joined with a group of potentially responsible parties in
signing a consent decree with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
("IEPA") to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study at the
Interstate Pollution Control facility in Rockford, Illinois. The consent
decree was signed on October 17, 1991, and filed with the federal court in the
Northern District of Illinois. The Company's total potential liability on the
site cannot be estimated with particularity until a final remedy is selected
by the IEPA and an allocation scheme is adopted by the parties. The IEPA is
expected to issue its decision by early fall, 2000. Based upon current
assumptions, however, the Company anticipates potential liability of
approximately $100,000.
The Company has also joined with a group of potentially responsible parties in
signing a consent decree with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to
conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study at the MIG\DeWane
Landfill in Rockford, Illinois. The consent decree was signed on March 29,
1991, and filed with the federal court in the Northern District of Illinois.
The IEPA issued its record of decision for the site in April 2000, selecting a
remedy with an estimated cost of $18 million. The Company's total potential
liability on the site cannot be estimated with particularity until an
allocation scheme is adopted by the parties. Based upon current assumptions,
however, the Company anticipates potential liability of approximately
$600,000.

PART II
Item 5.Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder
Matters
The dividends per share and stock price range information set forth under the
caption "Sales and Earnings by Quarter" on page 1 of the Annual Report for the
year ended June 30, 2000 are incorporated into this Report
by reference.
As of June 30, 2000 there were 1,480 shareholder accounts. The Company's
stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The market price of the
Company's common stock as of the close of business on September 1, 2000 was
$16.81 per share.
Pursuant to a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), on April 17, 1998,
the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution, payable to
shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 1998, of one
Preferred Stock Purchase Right ("Rights") for each outstanding share of Common
Stock. The Rights will expire 10 years after issuance, and will be
exercisable only if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or
more of the Common Stock (or 25% in the case of any person or group which
currently owns 15% or more of the shares or who shall become the Beneficial
Owner of 15% or more of the shares as a result of any transfer by reason of
the death of or by gift from any other person who is an Affiliate or an
Associate of such existing holder or by succeeding such a person as trustee of
a trust existing on the record date) (an "Acquiring Person"), or 10 business
days following the commencement of a tender or exchange offer that would
result in the offeror beneficially owning 25% or more of the Common Stock. A
person who is not an Acquiring Person will not be deemed to have become an
Acquiring Person solely as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding due to a repurchase of Common Stock by the Company
until such person becomes beneficial owner of any additional shares of Common
Stock. Each Right will entitle shareholders who received
the Rights to buy one newly issued unit of one one-hundredth of a share of
Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $160, subject to
certain antidilution adjustments. The Company will generally be entitled to
redeem the Rights at $.05 per Right at any time prior to 10 business days
after a public announcement of the
6
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Shareholder
Matters (Continued)
existence of an Acquiring Person. In addition, if (i) a person or group
accumulates more than 25% of the Common Stock (except pursuant to an offer for
all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the independent directors of the
Company determine to be fair to and otherwise in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders and except solely due to a reduction in the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding due to the repurchase of Common
Stock by the Company), (ii) a merger takes place with an Acquiring Person
where the Company is the surviving corporation and its Common Stock is not
changed or exchanged, (iii) an Acquiring Person engages in certain
self-dealing transactions, or (iv) during such time as there is an Acquiring
Person, an event occurs which results in such Acquiring Person's ownership
interest being increased by more than 1% (e.g., a reverse stock split), each
Right (other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person and certain related
parties which become void) will represent the right to purchase, at the
exercise price, Common Stock (or in certain circumstances, a combination of
securities and/or assets) having a value of twice the exercise price. In
addition, if following the public announcement of the existence of an
Acquiring Person the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction, except a merger or other business combination
transaction that takes place after the consummation of an offer for all
outstanding shares of Common Stock that the independent directors of the
Company have determined to be fair, or a sale or transfer of 50% or more of
the Company's assets or earning power is made, each Right (unless previously
voided) will represent the right to purchase, at the exercise price, common
stock of the acquiring entity having a value of twice the exercise price at
the time.
The Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
without conditioning the offer on a substantial number of Rights being
acquired. However, the Rights are not intended to prevent a take-over, but
rather are designed to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to
negotiate with an acquirer on behalf of all of the shareholders. In addition,
the Rights should not interfere with a proxy contest.
The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination
approved by the Board of Directors since the Rights may be redeemed by the
Company at $.05 per Right prior to 10 business days after the public
announcement of the existence of an Acquiring Person.
The news release announcing the declaration of the Rights dividend, dated
April 17, 1998, filed as Item 14(a)(3), Exhibit 4(b) of Part IV of the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998 is hereby incorporated by
reference.
Item 6.Selected Financial Data
The information set forth under the caption "Ten-Year Financial Summary" on
pages 42 and 43 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended June
30, 2000 is incorporated into this report by reference.
Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
a) Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates,
commodities and foreign exchange. To reduce such risks, the Company
selectively uses financial instruments and other pro-active management
techniques. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to
clearly defined policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Discussions of the Company's
accounting policies and further disclosure relating to financial instruments
is included in Note A of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages
27 and 28 of the 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders,
7
Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (continued)
which financial statements are incorporated into this report by reference.
Interest rate risk - The Company currently has lines of credit bearing
interest predominantly at the LIBOR interest rate plus 1.25%. Due to the
relative stability of interest rates, the Company does not utilize any
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk exposure.
Commodity price risk - The Company is exposed to the fluctuation in market
prices for such commodities as steel and aluminum. Due to the relative
stability of these commodities, the Company does not utilize commodity price
hedges to manage commodity price risk exposure.
Currency risk - The Company has exposure to foreign currency exchange
fluctuations. The Company does not hedge the translation exposure represented
by the net assets of its foreign subsidiaries. Foreign currency translation
adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity. Forward
foreign exchange contracts are used to hedge the currency fluctuations on
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses from foreign
currency transactions are included in earnings. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, the
Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts to purchase 189,972,000 and
76,040,000 Belgian francs at a cost of $4,500,000 and $2,000,000,
respectively. The contracts have a weighted average maturity of 40 days and 33
days, respectively.

Analysis" on pages 19 through 22 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the
year ended June 30, 2000 is incorporated into this report by reference.
