JOY GLOBAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2005
(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

  Joy Global Inc. manufactures and markets products classified into two business segments: underground mining machinery (Joy Mining Machinery or “Joy”) and surface mining equipment (P&H Mining Equipment or “P&H”). Joy is a major manufacturer of underground mining equipment for the extraction of coal and other bedded minerals and offers comprehensive service locations near major mining regions worldwide. P&H is a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction of ores and minerals and provides extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in surface mining.

2. Basis of Presentation

  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are unaudited and have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation on a going concern basis of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for all periods presented have been made. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature.

  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2004. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates.

3. Borrowings and Credit Facilities

  On January 23, 2004, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which consists of a $200 million revolving credit facility maturing on October 15, 2008. Substantially all of our assets and our domestic subsidiaries’ assets, other than real estate, are pledged as collateral under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding borrowings bear interest equal to either LIBOR plus the applicable margin (3.25% to 2.00%) or the Base Rate (defined as the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%) plus the applicable margin (2.25% to 1.00%) at our option depending on certain of our financial ratios. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. In 2002, we issued $200 million in 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2012.

  Both the Credit Agreement and Senior Subordinated Note Indenture contain restrictions and financial covenants relating to, among other things, minimum financial performance and limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, and capital expenditures. The covenants in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture are generally less restrictive than the covenants in the Credit Agreement. Interest coverage, leverage and fixed charge coverage covenants in the Credit Agreement generally become more restrictive over the term of the agreement. At April 30, 2005, we were in compliance with financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and the Indenture.

  During Fiscal 2005, we have purchased approximately $32.8 million par value of our 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes in several open market purchases. These transactions, which resulted in a $5.0 million loss on repurchase, consisted of approximately $37.0 million of cash and the writedown of unamortized finance costs of $0.8 million. Since these transactions are purchases, not redemptions, the notes remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and are netted on the balance sheet.

  At April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $200 million credit limit, totaled $97.7 million. The amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is also limited by a borrowing base calculation. At April 30, 2005, there was $102.3 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

4. Shareholders’ Equity

  On December 15, 2004, our board of directors authorized a three-for-two split of our common shares, payable on January 21, 2005 to shareholders of record on January 6, 2005. References in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements to the number of common shares and related per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split.

  On January 28, 2005, we began our sixth distribution of common stock to holders of allowed pre-petition claims against Harnischfeger Industries, Inc., the Company’s name prior to its reorganization in 2001. This is the final distribution of shares to holders of allowed pre-petition claims against the Company. The distribution consists of 1,850,074 shares (equivalent to 1,233,423 shares prior to the Company’s 3-for-2 stock split, less any fractional shares that would have resulted from the split) and $1,596 of cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, as well as $477,952 of cash payable in satisfaction of accrued dividends previously declared on the shares being distributed.

  This distribution, under our Plan of Reorganization, brings the total number of shares distributed to date to 75,000,000 as adjusted to reflect the Company’s 3-for-2 stock split (equivalent to 50,000,000 shares prior to such stock split). This distribution is based on approximately $1.21 billion of allowed claims. This distribution, when added to the prior distributions, equates one share of Joy Global Inc. common stock prior to the stock split to a $24.11 allowed claim (equivalent to $16.08 on a split-adjusted basis). All subsequent references to shares of common stock will be on a post-split basis unless otherwise noted.

  Our stock incentive plan includes stock options, performance shares, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to officers, employees and directors. As of April 30, 2005 stock option grants aggregating approximately 8.1 million shares of common stock had been made to approximately 250 individuals. Included in this aggregate were options to purchase 22,500 shares granted to each of our six outside directors. In Fiscal 2003, Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2005, restricted stock unit grants of 8,373, 3,238 and 2,054, respectively, were made to each of our six outside directors. These restricted stock units vest one year after the grant date and provide that a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of vested units will be delivered one year after the director’s service on the board terminates. On January 21, 2004 and November 15, 2004 restricted stock unit grants of 71,198 and 51,900, respectively, were made to certain executive officers and key employees. These restricted stock units vest over a five-year period with one-third vesting on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date and provide that a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of vested units will be delivered to the individual as the units vest. Individuals are credited with additional units to reflect cash dividends paid on the underlying common stock. In the event of a change in control, the units will be paid out in cash based on the market price of the common stock, as of the date of the change in control.

  The 2003, 2004 and 2005 performance share award programs under our stock incentive plan provide long-term incentive compensation opportunities to certain senior executives. Up to approximately 602,000 shares of common stock may be earned by the senior executives under the 2003, 2004 and 2005 performance share award programs if at the end of a three year award cycle cumulative net cash flow, as defined in the performance award agreements, exceeds certain threshold amounts. Each performance share represents the right to earn one share of common stock. Awards can range from 0% to 150% of the target award opportunities and may be paid out in stock, cash or a combination of stock and cash. In the event of a change in control, the performance shares are paid out in cash based on the greater of actual performance or target award. During the first quarter of 2005 and prior to the 3-for-2 stock split, we distributed 155,881 of the 363,613 performance shares earned under the 2001 performance share award program. In the second quarter of 2005, we distributed 42,750 of the 311,598 post-split deferred shares.

  As of April 30, 2005, awards under the stock incentive plan were accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation.

6. Contingent Liabilities

  We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including asbestos-related and silicosis liability), employment and commercial matters. Also, as a normal part of their operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

  John G. Kling, purportedly on his own behalf and “in a representative capacity for the Harnischfeger Industries Employees’ Savings Plan,” (the “Plan”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on November 9, 2001, against certain of our present and former employees, officers and directors. We and the Plan were added as defendants in this case in early 2004. This action seeks damages in an unspecified amount based on, among other things, allegations that the members of our Pension Investment Committee, the Pension Committee of the Board of Directors, and Fidelity Management Trust Company failed to properly discharge their fiduciary obligations under ERISA with respect to the “Harnischfeger Common Stock Fund” in the Harnischfeger Industries Employees’ Savings Plan. On May 24, 2004, the court granted our motion to dismiss the Plan and the Board committee and denied our motion to dismiss us and our former directors from this action.

  The General Organization for Industrial and Mining Projects (“IMC”), an agency of the government of Egypt commenced legal proceedings in Egypt in late 2002 against Joy Mining Machinery Limited (“Joy MM”), one of our subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, to resolve certain disputes arising under an agreement entered into in 1998 between Joy MM and IMC relating to underground mining equipment for the Abu Tartur project in Egypt. IMC may also seek wrongfully to draw on approximately 9.7 million pounds sterling in bank guarantees established for the benefit of IMC in connection with the agreement. On August 6, 2004, The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes declined to accept jurisdiction of arbitration proceedings initiated by Joy MM against IMC. IMC has now commenced proceedings against Joy MM in the Cairo Arbitration Centre to recover unspecified damages for the alleged breach of contract and delay. An arbitration panel has been selected and proceedings before it have commenced. We have reached an agreement in principle to settle this dispute, subject to documentation and approval by the Egyptian government. We have reserves adequate to cover the amount we would be required to pay under the terms of such settlement.

  By notice dated May 16, 2003, Sokolovskaya Investment Company (“SIC”), a mining company in Russia, filed a request for arbitration with the ICC International Court of Arbitration against Joy MM to recover damages alleged to have arisen out of contracts entered into by Joy MM and SIC in 1995 and 1996 for the supply of underground mining equipment and related services. SIC seeks damages for loss of profit, delay, repairs, loss of use and other consequential damages of between $65 million and $82 million. Arbitration hearings have been held and a decision is expected this fiscal year.

  At April 30, 2005, we were contingently liable to banks, financial institutions and others for approximately $120.4 million for outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds securing performance of sales contracts and other guarantees in the ordinary course of business. At April 30, 2005, there were $3.8 million of outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries.

  From time to time we and our subsidiaries become involved in proceedings relating to environmental matters. We believe that the resolution of such environmental matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

  We have entered into various forward foreign exchange contracts with major international financial institutions for the purpose of hedging our risk of loss associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. These contracts involve off-balance-sheet market and credit risk. As of April 30, 2005, the nominal or face value of forward foreign exchange contracts to which we are a party, in absolute U.S. dollar equivalent terms, was $248.0 million.

  Forward exchange contracts are entered into to protect the value of committed future foreign currency receipts and disbursements and net investment hedges and consequently any market related loss on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item. As a result, we are not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.

  We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to our forward exchange contracts, but we do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. A contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value and the maximum exposure is the amount of the positive fair value.

8. Warranties

  We provide a warranty reserve for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance in our products. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending upon the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. The warranty reserve is included in other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as appropriate.

        The following table reconciles the changes in the Company’s product warranty reserve:

11. Segment Information

  At April 30, 2005, we had two reportable segments: Underground Mining Machinery and Surface Mining Equipment. Operating income (loss) of the segments does not include interest income (expense) or provision for income taxes. There are no significant intersegment sales. Segment total assets are those used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred financing costs and deferred income taxes.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

  During April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance dates for Statement 123(R). The amendment allows companies to implement Statement 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) in the first quarter of Fiscal 2006.

  Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

  A modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. A modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We have not decided on the method of application at this time.

  As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25‘s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)‘s fair value method could have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 4 to these financial statements and Note 2 of our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 30, 2004. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. Due to our tax position, we do not anticipate this to have any effect on our cash flow statement.

  In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, (“FAS 153”), “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“APB 29”).” FAS 153 is based on the principle that nonmonetary asset exchanges should be recorded and measured at the fair value of the assets exchanged, with certain exceptions. This standard requires exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at carryover basis, unless (i) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (ii) the transactions lack commercial substance (as defined). In addition, the FASB decided to retain the guidance in APB 29 for assessing whether the fair value of a nonmonetary asset is determinable within reasonable limits. The new standard is the result of the convergence project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We will adopt this standard for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring beginning in fiscal year 2006. The adoption of FAS No. 153 is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  In November 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 151, (“FAS 151”), “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4", to improve financial reporting and global comparability of inventory accounting. The amendment, which adopted language similar to that used in the IASB International Accounting Standard 2 (“IAS 2”), clarifies that inventory related expenses, such as abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted or spoiled materials should be recognized as current period charges. The statement also requires fixed production overhead allocations to inventory based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in our fiscal year 2006. The adoption of FAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

13. Subsequent Events

  On May 18, 2005, we commenced a tender offer for all of the outstanding 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes. In connection with the tender offer, we also sought noteholder consents to proposed amendments that would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and other restrictions currently applicable to the notes. By May 31, 2005, we had received tenders and consents from holders of 99.8% of the notes. Unless extended, the tender offer will expire on June 15, 2005. We expect to utilize cash of approximately $190 million to complete the repurchase of all notes tendered and consent solicitation, including accrued interest.

  On May 25, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.1125 per share to be paid on June 23, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 9, 2005.

  On May 31, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a stock buyback plan to repurchase up to $300 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market over the next 24 months. Stock purchases are at the discretion of management and depend, among other things, on our results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition, and on such other factors as senior management may consider relevant.

14. Subsidiary Guarantors

  The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement and Senior Subordinated Notes, which include substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Guarantors”); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are unconditionally, jointly, and severally liable under the guarantees, and we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those described in Item 5 — Other Information –Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors in Part II of this report.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Overview

        Joy Global Inc., a worldwide leader in high-productivity mining solutions, manufactures and markets original equipment and aftermarket parts and services for both the underground and aboveground mining industries through two business segments, Joy Mining Machinery and P&H Mining Equipment. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, including facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Chile and Australia.

        The continuing recovery in commodity markets is evident in our results for the first six months. Worldwide coal demand is continuing to rise with consumption rising faster than the use of any other source of energy. While the strong demand has caused coal prices to rise sharply, on average the cost of power generated using coal is still less than half the cost of natural gas generated power. Surging demand for metallurgical coal used in steelmaking shows no signs of letting up as China’s steel industry absorbs a growing share of the available supply. Copper prices have increased by approximately 23% while copper stockpiles have been cut in half during the past year. Demand for copper is being driven primarily by consumption in China, although demand is also increasing in the United States and other countries. Though demand is strong, the rising value of currencies in Australia and South Africa constrains coal sales from those countries. Other commodities are also seeing strong growth in demand, especially iron ore which is also being driven by China’s steel industry.

        Customer orders were very strong in the Fiscal 2005 six months, with an approximate 29% increase over the Fiscal 2004 six months. This increase was particularly strong in original equipment orders, due largely to domestic coal customers increasing their order rates, along with strong increases in orders from China and Russia. In addition, both segments experienced increases in aftermarket orders. Revenues increased 39% for the Fiscal 2005 six months and gross profit margins improved to 29% of sales compared to 26% in the Fiscal 2004 six months. Operating income was $107.2 million in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to operating income of $30.2 million in the Fiscal 2004 six months.

   Total  $481,925   $337,682   $144,243   43%  



        The increase in net sales for underground mining machinery in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 was the result of a $70.0 million, or 125%, increase in shipments of original equipment combined with a $24.3 million, or 17%, increase in aftermarket products and service. Increases in original equipment sales were reported in the United States, Australia, and the emerging markets served out of the United Kingdom. Higher original equipment sales in emerging markets, which accounted for about half of the overall increase, were due to increased shipments of roof supports, continuous miners, and longwall shearers. Another 40% of the increase was attributable to the United States, reflecting increased sales of continuous miners and a face conveyor order. The increase in original equipment sales in the United States and the emerging markets served out of the United Kingdom reflects the continuing strong activity levels for new equipment for both replacement of existing equipment and for new mining capacity. Increases in aftermarket net sales were reported in the United States, South Africa and Australia, with each of these locations reporting approximately 20% increases in aftermarket sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2004. Higher aftermarket sales in the United States accounted for more than two-thirds of the overall increase in aftermarket sales. Approximately half of the increase in aftermarket sales were due to the increase in repair parts sales, with the remaining increase split between component repairs and complete machine rebuilds. The strong level of aftermarket sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 reflected the continued level of coal mining activity on a global basis.

        The increase in net sales for surface mining equipment in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 was the result of a $27.4 million, or 81%, increase in original equipment combined with a $22.6 million, or 22%, increase in aftermarket parts and service. Increases in original equipment sales were reported in South America, the international markets we serve out of the United Kingdom (primarily Russia) and Canada. Approximately half of the original equipment sales increase was due to shipments of electric mining shovels to South America. The remaining increase in original equipment sales was split between shipments of electric mining shovels to Canada and Russia. These increases were partially offset by reduced sales of original equipment of 34% for Australia and 21% in the United States. Increases in aftermarket sales were reported for the United States of 16%, Canada of 58% and Australia of 26%. Approximately 73% of the aftermarket sales increase was due to the higher repair parts sales, with the remaining increase due to higher aftermarket service sales. The strong level of both original equipment and aftermarket sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 reflects the continued high level of activity in the mining of copper, coal, iron ore, oil sands and gold.

      Operating Income

Operating income (loss):          
     Underground Mining Machinery  $ 45,928   $ 16,874   $ 29,054   172 %
     Surface Mining Equipment  27,324   12,072   15,252   126 %

        Total  $ 64,911   $ 22,486   $ 42,425   189 %



        Operating income as a percentage of net sales for underground mining machinery increased from 8.5% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 to 15.6% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005. This improvement in profitability was due to the increase in net sales, an approximately $6.1 million improvement in the relationship between manufacturing overhead spending and manufacturing overhead absorption, and the cost control management of selling, product development and administrative expenses. Operating income increased $29.1 million from the second quarter a year ago. For the same periods, gross profit associated with the increase in net sales increased $29.6 million, and the modest growth of selling, product development, and administrative expense, due to cost control management, allowed almost the entire benefit from the increase in sales to be recognized at the operating income line. The increase in spending in these areas associated with inflation and legal expenses were substantially offset by other cost reductions.

        Operating income as a percentage of net sales for surface mining equipment increased from 8.7% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 to 14.5% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005. This improvement in profitability was due to the increase in net sales and approximately $5.3 million improvement in the relationship between manufacturing overhead spending and manufacturing overhead absorption, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in selling, product development and administrative expenses. Operating income increased $15.3 million from the second quarter a year ago while gross profit associated with the increase in net sales increased $18.1 million for the same periods. The increase in selling, product development, and administrative expense was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in performance-based incentive programs and costs associated with the conversion to an upgraded SAP system.

        The increase in corporate expenses was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in compensation expense associated with performance-based incentive programs accrued in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, compensation expenses had not been accrued for some of our performance-based incentive programs but were subsequently accrued in later quarters as the applicable performance requirements were met.

      Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense

        Product development, selling and administrative expense totaled $74.9 million, or 16% of sales, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2005, as compared to $69.4 million, or 21% of sales, in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004. While a lower percentage of total sales, the 8% increase in product development, selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to a $3.4 million increase in performance-based compensation costs and a $1.9 million increase in administrative expenses in the United Kingdom primarily due to pension expenses and legal fees and the impact of foreign currency translations.

      Provision for Income Taxes

        Income tax expense for the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 increased to $22.4 million as compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004. On a consolidated basis, these income tax provisions represented effective income tax rates for the second quarters of Fiscal 2005 and 2004 of 36.5% and 7.6%, respectively. On a recurring basis, the main drivers of the variance in tax rates were the increased global profitability year over year, changes in the geographic mix of earnings, differences in local statutory tax rates, and the projected impact of the utilization of certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards for which the reversal of the related valuation reserves will not be recognized as part of the income tax provision due to Fresh Start Accounting. Additionally, the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 was also impacted by the reversal of approximately $6.3 million of deferred income tax liabilities recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003 on certain repatriated earnings of a foreign subsidiary. Upon the completion of a corporate restructuring during the fiscal quarter, the deferred income tax liability was deemed no longer required and accordingly was reversed, with the resulting income tax benefit recognized as a discreet item in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004. Excluding the impact of this deferred tax reversal, the consolidated effective rate for the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 would have been approximately 38.5%.

        A review of income tax valuation reserves was performed as part of the analysis of the second quarter Fiscal 2005 income tax provision and no discreet adjustments of any amount were warranted.

        Cash taxes paid for the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 were $10.1 million compared to $8.8 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2004. This increase in cash taxes paid was primarily due to increased global profitability year over year and the timing of estimated taxes payable by our non-U.S. subsidiaries during the quarter.

   Total  $865,615   $621,368   $244,247   39%  



        The increase in net sales for underground mining machinery in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared with the Fiscal 2004 six months was the result of a $101.4 million, or 98%, increase in shipments of original equipment combined with a $65.7 million, or 26%, increase in aftermarket products and service. Approximately one-third of the increase in original equipment sales were reported in the United States, with the remaining two-thirds increase attributable to increased shipments of new equipment into the emerging markets. The increase in the United States was associated with increased shipments of continuous miners, and the shipment of roof support and face conveyor orders in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to no activity for these products in the Fiscal 2004 six months. The increase in original equipment sales in the emerging markets was associated with increased shipments of continuous miners, shuttle cars, longwall shearers, and roof support systems. The increase in original equipment sales in the Fiscal 2005 six months reflects the activity levels for both the replacement of existing equipment and the addition of new mining capacity. The increase in aftermarket sales in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to the Fiscal 2004 six months was the result of increased aftermarket sales in all of the underground business units ranging from 21% in the emerging markets to 35% in Australia. Approximately, one-third of the increase in aftermarket sales were due to increases in the sales of repair parts, with the remaining two-thirds associated with increases in the sales of component repairs and complete machine rebuilds. The strength of the coal mining activity around the world is reflected in the increase in aftermarket sales in each of the business locations.

        The increase in net sales of surface mining machinery for the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to the Fiscal 2004 six months was due to a $32.6 million, or 48%, increase in the shipment of original equipment and a $44.7 million, or 22%, increase in aftermarket net sales. Approximately half of the increase in original equipment sales was in South America, with the remaining increase in net sales primarily in Russia and Canada. Offsetting these increases were original equipment sales decreases of 58% for Australia and 9% in the United States. The increase in original equipment sales in South America, Russia and Canada related to increased sales of electric mining shovels while the decreases for Australia and the United Sates related to lower sales of electric mining shovels and draglines. The increase in original equipment sales in the Fiscal 2005 six months reflects the activity levels for both the replacement of existing equipment and the addition of new mining capacity for copper, coal, iron ore, oil sands and gold. The increase in aftermarket sales in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to the Fiscal 2004 six months was primarily the result of increases of 21%, 39% and 27% for the United States, Australia and Canada, respectively. Approximately 75% of the increase in aftermarket sales is due to the increase in sales of repair parts, with the remaining increase due to aftermarket service. The strong level of aftermarket sales in the Fiscal 2005 six months reflects the continued level of activity in the mining of copper, coal, iron ore, oil sands and gold.

        Total  $ 107,172   $ 30,213   $ 76,959   255 %



        Operating income as a percentage of net sales for underground mining machinery increased from 6.9% in the Fiscal 2004 six months to 13.9% in the Fiscal 2005 six months. This improvement in profitability was due to the increase in net sales and an approximately $13.4 million improvement in the relationship between manufacturing overhead spending and manufacturing overhead absorption, which was partially offset by increases in performance-based compensation expenses, warranty expense and administrative expenses. Operating income increased $48.2 million in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to the Fiscal 2004 six months. For the same periods, gross profit associated with the increase in net sales increased $52.4 million. The improvement at the operating income level was less than the improvement at the gross profit level due to the increase in administrative expenses. These increases were primarily associated with higher legal expense and the impact of foreign exchange rates.

        Operating income as a percentage of net sales for surface mining equipment increased from 7.1% in the Fiscal 2004 six months to 14.7% in the Fiscal 2005 six months. This improvement in profitability was due to the increase in net sales and an approximately $9.8 million improvement in the relationship between manufacturing overhead spending and manufacturing overhead absorption, partially offset by a $6.3 million increase in selling, product development and administrative expenses. Operating income increased $31.6 million in the Fiscal 2005 six months compared to the Fiscal 2004 six months while the gross profit associated with the increase in net sales increased $37.9 million for the same periods. The increase in selling, product development, and administrative expense was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in performance-based incentive programs and costs associated with the conversion to an upgraded SAP system.

        The increase in corporate expenses was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in compensation expense associated with performance-based incentive programs accrued during the Fiscal 2005 six months and a $0.6 million increase in outside consulting fees for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 preparation. During the Fiscal 2004 six months, compensation expenses had not been accrued for some of our performance-based incentive programs but were subsequently accrued in later quarters as the performance requirements were met.

      Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense

        Product development, selling and administrative expense totaled $146.2 million, or 17% of sales, in the Fiscal 2005 six months, as compared to $132.2 million, or 21% of sales, in the Fiscal 2004 six months. While a lower percentage of total sales, the 11% increase in product development, selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to a $6.5 million increase in performance-based compensation costs year over year, a $3.8 million increase in administrative expenses in the United Kingdom primarily due to pension expenses and legal fees, and the impact of foreign currency translations.

      Provision for Income Taxes

        Income tax expense for the Fiscal 2005 six months increased to $35.5 million as compared to $2.1 million for the Fiscal 2004 six months. On a consolidated basis, these income tax provisions represented effective income tax rates for the Fiscal 2005 six months and Fiscal 2004 six months of 36.8% and 9.4%, respectively. On a recurring basis, the main drivers of the variance in tax rates were the increased global profitability and mix of earnings year over year, differences in local statutory tax rates, and the projected impact of the utilization of certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards for which the reversal of the related valuation reserves will not be recognized as part of the income tax provision due to Fresh Start accounting. Additionally, the second quarter of Fiscal 2004 was also impacted by the reversal of approximately $6.3 million of deferred income tax liabilities previously recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2003 on certain unappropriated earnings of a foreign subsidiary. Upon the completion of a corporate restructuring during the second quarter of Fiscal 2004, the deferred income tax liability was deemed no longer required and was reversed, with the resulting income tax benefit recognized as a discreet item in the Fiscal 2004 six months. Excluding the impact of this deferred tax reversal, the consolidated effective rate for the Fiscal 2004 six months would have been approximately 38.2%.

        Cash taxes paid for the Fiscal 2005 six months were $12.6 million compared to $8.7 million paid for the Fiscal 2004 six months. This increase in cash taxes paid was primarily due to increased global profitability year over year and the timing of estimated taxes due by the Companies non-U.S. subsidiaries during the respective fiscal years.

      Bookings and Backlog

        Bookings continued their trend upward in both original equipment and aftermarket products and services. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2005 and year to date, we received $591 million and $1,129 million, respectively, of new orders compared to new order bookings of $504 million and $878 million for the Fiscal 2004 second quarter and first half, respectively. Orders for original equipment and aftermarket parts and service increased 18% and 16%, respectively, quarter over quarter and 39% and 21%, respectively, year over year. The underground and surface mining businesses had increases in new orders of $78 million and $9 million, respectively, quarter over quarter and $195 million and $56 million, respectively, year over year.

        As a result of the strong level of new orders, backlog increased from $722 million at the beginning of Fiscal 2005 to $985 million at the end of the second quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Discussion of Cash Flows

        At the end of the second quarter, we had $208.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $600.1 million as compared to $231.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $560.2 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our cash on hand exceeded total debt by $36.5 million and $25.7 million at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the fiscal year, respectively.

      Operating Activities

        Net cash provided or used by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, level of sales, payment of compensation, collection of advance payments and progress billings and payment of accounts payable. Cash provided by operations during the Fiscal 2005 six months was $42.9 million compared to $26.2 million in the Fiscal 2004 six months. The increase in cash was primarily a result of a $41.2 million increase in net income, a $54.9 million increase in other accrued liabilities and a $24.5 million increase in advance payments and progress billings. These items were partially offset by an $61.5 million increase in inventory and $23.4 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased production activities, a $8.5 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits due to a higher performance-based compensation payout and a $9.3 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing.

      Investing Activities

        During the Fiscal 2005 six months cash used by investing activities was $16.6 million compared to cash provided by investing activities of $0.4 million during the Fiscal 2004 six months. This change was due to an increase in property, plant and equipment additions of $7.6 million, an increase in intangible purchases of $2.4 million and an increase in long-term receivables of approximately $3.3 million. We expect to fund capital expenditures in 2005 with operating cash flows and available cash.

      Financing Activities

        During the Fiscal 2005 six months cash used by financing activities was $50.5 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $31.0 million during the Fiscal 2004 six months. Approximately $37.0 million was used to repurchase our 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes, we received approximately $26.5 million less cash from the exercise of employee stock options in Fiscal 2005 compared to Fiscal 2004, we paid approximately $1.0 million of short term notes in Fiscal 2005 as compared to borrowing $9.2 million in Fiscal 2004 associated with earnings repatriation and we had an increase of $9.1 million in dividends paid.

      Credit Agreement and Other Long-Term Debt

        As of the end of the second quarter, we had $208.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $102.3 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. During the Fiscal 2005 six months, we purchased approximately $32.8 million par value of our 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes in several open market purchases. These transactions, which resulted in a $5.0 million loss on repurchase, consisted of approximately $37.0 million of cash and the writedown of unamortized finance costs of $0.8 million. Since these transactions are purchases, not redemptions, the bonds remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under the Credit Agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated future cash requirements.

        On May 18, 2005, we commenced a tender offer for all of the outstanding 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes. In connection with the tender offer, we also sought noteholder consents to proposed amendments that would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and other restrictions currently applicable to the notes. By May 31, 2005, we had received tenders and consents from holders of 99.8% of the notes. Unless extended, the tender offer will expire on June 15, 2005. We expect to utilize cash of approximately $190 million to complete the repurchase of all notes tendered and consent solicitation, including accrued interest.

        On May 25, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.1125 per share to be paid on June 23, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 9, 2005.

        On May 31, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a stock buyback plan to repurchase up to $300 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market over the next 24 months. Stock purchases are at the discretion of management and depend, among other things, on our results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition, and on such other factors as senior management may consider relevant.

      Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We lease various assets under operating leases. No significant changes to lease commitments have occurred since our fiscal year ended October 30, 2004. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

        During April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance dates for SFAS No. 123(R). The amendment allows companies to implement SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) in the first quarter of Fiscal 2006.

        Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

        A modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. A modified retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We have not decided on the method of application at this time.

        As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25‘s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)‘s fair value method could have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 4 to our April 30, 2005, condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 2 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2004. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. Due to our tax position, we do not anticipate this to have any effect on our cash flow statement.

        In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, (“FAS 153”), “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“APB 29”).” FAS 153 is based on the principle that nonmonetary asset exchanges should be recorded and measured at the fair value of the assets exchanged, with certain exceptions. This standard requires exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at carryover basis, unless (i) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (ii) the transactions lack commercial substance (as defined). In addition, the FASB decided to retain the guidance in APB 29 for assessing whether the fair value of a nonmonetary asset is determinable within reasonable limits. The new standard is the result of the convergence project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We will adopt this standard for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring beginning in fiscal year 2006. The adoption of FAS No. 153 is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

        In November 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 151, (“FAS 151”), “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4", to improve financial reporting and global comparability of inventory accounting. The amendment, which adopted language similar to that used in the IASB International Accounting Standard 2 (“IAS 2”), clarifies that inventory related expenses, such as abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted or spoiled materials should be recognized as current period charges. The statement also requires fixed production overhead allocations to inventory based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in our fiscal year 2006. The adoption of FAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Market Conditions and Outlook

        Conditions in the majority of our customers’ markets continue to strengthen. U.S. coal is enjoying stronger spot pricing, which should translate into higher selling prices and cash flow for our customers, as the effect of new supply contracts take hold over the next couple of years. Total domestic coal demand is forecasted to increase in 2005, both in consumption by utilities and for exports, particularly in metallurgical coal. International coal markets also continue to strengthen, particularly for metallurgical coal used in the production of steel. Management continues to believe that the emerging underground coal markets will contribute a larger portion of our overall revenues over the next few years.

        Customers producing copper are enjoying a strong market. Copper prices have risen by approximately 23% in the past 12 months, driven by demand from China and production constraints by the major producers. Copper stockpiles have fallen during the past year and producers have begun either increasing production or announcing plans to increase production. While the impact of the strength in the copper market on our business to date has largely been an increase in aftermarket sales, historically this commodity market has comprised the largest component of our surface mining equipment operation.

        Positive trends are being seen in several of the other commodity markets that our surface mining equipment operations serve. Iron ore fundamentals are equal to, or even stronger than, those of copper, with demand from China contributing to the current strength. Finally, further development of the oil sands of Canada continues to drive production, and therefore equipment utilization, higher.

        We will continue to focus on cash flow in the upcoming 12 months. This focus will be necessary to ensure that the ramp up of business activity does not use more working capital than is necessary. Capital spending should be approximately $35 million for Fiscal 2005. Although there is essentially no pension funding required in Fiscal 2005, we now estimate that our funding in Fiscal 2005 will be approximately $48 million.

        Several factors temper our outlook. The positive effects we are seeing on our business as a result of higher customer production and capital-spending levels could be offset by increasing lead times at our facilities and tightening steel supplies. We believe the current buying cycle for mining equipment and services will be sustained and that our customers will exercise discipline in increasing their production. Our ability to grow revenues is constrained by the capacity of our plants, our ability to supplement that capacity with outside sources, and our success in securing critical supplies such as steel and copper. As we increase our production to meet the increased demand for mining equipment, our challenge is to manage our working capital and the other aspects of our business so that we meet the needs of our customers while maximizing returns to shareholders. We also will need to continue to control pension and health care costs.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an ongoing basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, excess inventory, warranty, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

        We believe our accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories, intangible assets, accrued warranties, pension and postretirement benefits and costs, and income taxes are the ones that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments, and therefore are critical to the understanding of our results of operations. See Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 30, 2004 for a discussion of these policies. There were no material changes to these policies during the Fiscal 2005 six months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 30, 2004, we are exposed to various types of market risks, primarily foreign currency risks. We monitor our risks in this area on a continuous basis and generally enter into forward foreign currency contracts to minimize these exposures for periods of less than one year. We do not engage in speculation in our derivative strategies. Gains and losses from foreign currency contract activities are offset by changes in the underlying costs of the transactions being hedged.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

        Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of April 30, 2005. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective (1) in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Starting in the first quarter of Fiscal 2005, we have engaged an independent tax consulting firm to assist with our evaluation of the judgmental issues concerning tax accounting and tax reserves and help us ensure that all procedural steps appropriate under FAS No. 109 are fully complied with.

        There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Factors

        This report and other documents or oral statements we make or made on our behalf contain both historical and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are predictions and generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” or other words or phrases of similar import. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. In addition to any factors that may accompany forward-looking statements, factors that could materially affect actual results include the following.

        Our principal businesses involve designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing large, complex machines. Significant periods of time are necessary to design and build these machines. Large amounts of capital must be devoted by our customers to purchase these machines and to finance the mines that use them. Our success in obtaining and managing a relatively small number of sales opportunities, including our success in securing payment for such sales and meeting the requirements of warranties and guarantees associated with such sales, can affect our financial performance. In addition, many mines are located in undeveloped or developing economies where business conditions are less predictable. In recent years, up to 47% of our total sales occurred outside the United States.

        Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated include:

       Factors affecting customers’ purchases of new equipment, rebuilds, parts and services such as: production capacity, stockpiles, and production and consumption rates of coal, copper, iron, gold, oil and other ores and minerals; the cash flows of customers; the cost and availability of financing to customers and the ability of customers to obtain regulatory approval for investments in mining projects; consolidations among customers; the effects of rising energy costs on customer operations; work stoppages at customers or providers of transportation; and the timing, severity and duration of customer buying cycles.

       Factors affecting our ability to capture available sales opportunities, including: customers’ perceptions of the quality and value of our products and services as compared to competitors’ products and services; customers’ perceptions of the financial health and stability as compared to our competitors; and the availability of manufacturing capacity at our factories.

       Factors affecting our ability to successfully manage the sales we obtain, such as: the accuracy of our cost and time estimates; the adequacy of our cost and control systems; and our success in delivering products and completing service projects on time and within budget; our success in recruiting and retaining managers and key employees; wage stability and cooperative labor relations; plant capacity and utilization; increases in the costs and constraints on the supply of major purchased items such as steel can adversely affect profits and revenues; and whether acquisitions are assimilated and divestitures completed without notable surprises or unexpected difficulties.

       Factors affecting general business levels, such as: political and economic turmoil in major markets such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim, South Africa, Australia and Chile; environmental and trade regulations; and the stability and ease of exchange of currencies.

       Factors affecting our general business, such as: unforeseen patent, tax, product, environmental, employee health and benefit, or contractual liabilities; nonrecurring restructuring and other special charges; changes in accounting or tax rules or regulations; reassessments of asset valuations for such assets as receivables, inventories, fixed assets and intangible assets; and leverage and debt service.

       Various other factors beyond our control.
