PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Penhall consists of Penhall International Corporation, an Arizona corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary, Penhall Company, a California corporation. Penhall Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Penhall Investments, a California Corporation, Bob Mack Company, a California corporation, and Penhall Leasing, a California single member limited liability company (collectively Penhall International Corporation and the five subsidiaries are the “Company” or “Penhall”).

     Penhall was founded in 1957 and is one of the largest operated equipment rental providers in the United States. Penhall differentiates itself from other equipment rental companies by providing specialized services in connection with infrastructure projects through renting equipment along with skilled operators on an hourly or fixed-price quote basis (“Operated Equipment Rental Services”) to serve construction, industrial, manufacturing, governmental and residential customers. In addition, Penhall complements its Operated Equipment Rental Services by providing the same type of services on a fixed-price contract basis for long-term projects. Penhall employs over 800 skilled operators and has 710 units in its diverse operated equipment rental fleet, which includes a broad selection of equipment ranging from smaller items such as diamond abrasive saws and coring units, to large equipment such as backhoes, excavators, water trucks and concrete grinders. Penhall provides its services from 38 locations in 17 states, including Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Oregon, New York and Utah. Penhall has a diverse base of over 14,000 customers. With the exception of the California Department of Transportation, no one customer has accounted for more than 5% of its total revenue in any of the past five fiscal years. Penhall has a reputation for high quality service, which results in a high degree of customer loyalty, and management believes that a significant percent of its revenues are derived through repeat business from existing customers. Penhall has increased its revenues from $95.3 million in fiscal 1997 to $159.6 million in fiscal 2003 through 1) increased rental fleet utilization, 2) increasing its rental equipment fleet, 3) acquisitions, and 4) opening of new offices.

     Through its skilled operators and equipment rental fleet, Penhall performs new construction, rehabilitation and demolition services in connection with infrastructure projects. For short duration assignments, typically lasting from several hours to a few weeks, Penhall generally provides Operated Equipment Rental Services on an hourly or fixed-price quote basis. Services provided in this manner include specialized work such as highway and airport runway grooving and asphalt cutting, as well as demolition work such as concrete breaking, removal and recycling. For longer duration projects, which may last from a few days to several years, Penhall provides services on a fixed-price contractual basis. Services provided in this manner include work for highway, airport and building general contractors, federal, state and municipal agencies and for property owners. A majority of fixed-price contract revenues are derived from long-term highway projects, which have an average contract length of approximately ten months. Penhall strives to maximize utilization of its operated equipment rental fleet and uses its fixed-price contract services to (i) market its Operated Equipment Rental Services, (ii) increase utilization of its operated equipment rental fleet and (iii) differentiate it from other equipment rental competitors. As part of a fixed-price contract project, Penhall is responsible for completion of an entire job or project, and typically employs its Operated Equipment Rental Services. On average, approximately 27% of Operated Equipment Rental Services revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts.

     The operated equipment rental industry is a specialized niche segment of the highly fragmented United States equipment rental industry. As of June 30, 2001, there were an estimated 17,000 equipment rental companies in the United States, and no single company represented more than 7% of total market revenues in 1999. Based on industry sources, it is estimated that the U.S. equipment rental industry has grown from approximately $6.5 billion in annual rental revenues in 1990 to about $24 billion in 2002. Management believes that the operated equipment rental industry has grown at a similar rate during this period. This represents a compound annual growth rate of approximately 11.5%, although in the past two years industry rental revenues decreased by about $2 billion. The recent downturn in industry revenues is a reflection of the significant slowdown in private non-residential construction activity, which declined 16% in 2002 according to Department of Commerce data as well as significantly lower state highway and bridge spending due to state budget deficits. The Company is particularly sensitive to changes in state highway and non-residential construction activity because these sectors have been principal users of the Company’s services. The long term growth of the equipment rental industry has been driven primarily by construction spending and continued outsourcing of equipment needs by construction and industrial companies. While customers traditionally have rented equipment for specific purposes such as supplementing capacity during peak periods and in connection with special projects, customers are increasingly looking to rental operators to provide an ongoing, comprehensive supply of equipment, enabling such customers to benefit from the economic advantages and convenience of rental.

THE REORGANIZATION

     Penhall International, Inc., a California corporation (“PII”), prior to the consummation of the Transactions (as defined below) conducted all its operations through Phoenix Concrete Cutting, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Company”), and the Penhall Company, a California corporation (“PenCo”). As of June 30, 1998, PII, the stockholders of PII, the Company, and Penhall Acquisition Corp., an Arizona Corporation (the “Issuer” or “PAC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company formed PCC Merger Sub, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“PCC Merger Sub”), which on August 4, 1998, was merged with and into PII (the “Reorganization Merger”), with the result that (i) PII continued as the surviving corporation, (ii) each stockholder of PII had his or her common equity in PII converted into common equity in the Company, (iii) PII received common equity in the Company approximately equal in value to the value of its common equity in the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Merger and (iv) the Company received common equity in PII such that the Company became the corporate parent of and owns all the outstanding capital stock of PII (which continues to hold all the outstanding capital stock of PenCo). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the Reorganization Merger, the Issuer merged with and into the Company (the “Recapitalization Merger” and, together with the Reorganization Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). Prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of the Recapitalization Merger, the Issuer entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) providing for $20.0 million of Term Loans (as defined therein) and up to $30.0 million of Revolving Loans (as defined therein), and all indebtedness of PII except $3.7 million of notes payable was repaid (the “Refinancing”). Following the consummation of the Mergers, the Company changed its corporate name to “Penhall International Corp.” and PII changed its corporate name to “Penhall Rental Corp.”

     The aggregate consideration paid upon consummation of the Recapitalization Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) was approximately $136.2 million. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) certain management stockholders of PII (the “Existing Management Stockholders”) agreed to convert a portion of the common equity in the Company received by them pursuant to the Reorganization Merger into $8.7 million of common and preferred equity of the Surviving Corporation (the “Equity Rollover”), (ii) the National Christian Charitable Foundation, Inc., (Foundation), a foundation formed by the Company’s former majority shareholder received $10.0 million of preferred equity of the Surviving Corporation in lieu of $10.0 million of cash Merger Consideration otherwise payable to it in the Recapitalization Merger, and (iii) BRS and certain persons affiliated with Bruckmann, Rosser and Sherrill & Co., L.P., (BRS), (together with BRS, the “BRS Entities”) and the New Management Stockholders (consisting of certain existing management and certain new management shareholders) purchased $21.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of common and preferred equity of the Surviving Corporation (the “Equity Contribution” and, together with the Mergers, the Refinancing and the Equity Rollover, the “Recapitalization”). Following the consummation of the Recapitalization, the BRS Entities held approximately 62.5% of the Common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Common stock”), 100.0% of the Series A Preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Series A Preferred stock”) and 43.3% of the Series B Preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Series B Preferred stock”), the Management Stockholders held approximately 37.5% of the Common stock and 38.6% of the Series B Preferred stock, the Foundation held 100% of the Senior Exchangeable Preferred stock and PII held approximately 18.1% of the Series B Preferred stock.

     In connection with the Recapitalization in August of 1998, the Issuer issued $100,000,000 of 12% Senior Notes due 2006 (the “Existing Notes”). As part of the Recapitalization, the Company became the successor obligor under the Existing Notes. In order to satisfy certain obligations of the Company and the Guarantors (consisting of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries) contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 4, 1998 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, the Company, the Guarantors, BT Alex. Brown Incorporated (“BTAB”) and Credit Suisse First Boston (collectively with BTAB, the “Initial Purchasers”) with respect to the initial sale of the Existing Notes, the Company offered to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000,000 of its 12% Senior Notes due 2006 (the “New Notes”) for a like principal amount of the Existing Notes outstanding in December 1998. The New Notes and the Existing Notes are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Notes.” The terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Existing Notes, except for certain transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Existing Notes. The New Notes were issued pursuant to, and are entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture (as defined) governing the Existing Notes.

     The foregoing transactions, the application of the proceeds therefrom and the payment of related fees and expenses, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

EQUIPMENT RENTAL FLEET

     Penhall owns and operates a well-maintained fleet of 710 units of operated equipment, including excavators, stompers, backhoes, compressors, “bobcats,” crushing equipment, saws, drills and grinding, asphalt milling, and grooving equipment. Penhall also carries state-of-the-art manually-operated and remote-controlled breakers, which provide access to contaminated, hazardous or limited access areas and which have been used for hazardous projects such as the demolition of decommissioned nuclear power plants. The Company employs skilled operators, including trainees, for each piece of equipment it operates. The following table is a summary of Penhall’s operated equipment rental fleet as of June 30, 2003:

     In addition to its 710-unit operated equipment rental fleet, Penhall maintains an additional fleet of 36 tankers, 21 grinders, and 17 miscellaneous pieces of equipment, which are used exclusively on fixed-price contracts. Also, Penhall has an inventory of approximately 436 Bare Equipment Rentals, which are rented out on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis without skilled operators. Bare Equipment Rentals include personnel lifts, forklifts, front-end loaders and light towers. Each Penhall location has its own shop and repair and maintenance staff that routinely maintains and repairs the equipment rental fleet.

SERVICES

     Penhall, through its operated equipment rental fleet and skilled operators, serves its customer base in a wide variety of infrastructure projects, including new construction, rehabilitation and demolition projects, and provides specialized services such as highway and airport runway grooving, asphalt cutting, concrete coring and demolition work. These services are available singly but are more commonly provided by Penhall in conjunction with other services necessary to their application to a particular project, including breaking, excavating, removing and recycling of construction materials. Penhall also provides services in connection with earthquake retrofit projects, particularly in California, which include retrofitting of highways, buildings, bridges and tunnels in order to bring them in compliance with more stringent earthquake safety laws. Moreover, the Company is the largest provider of grinding services in the United States.

     Specialty Services:

	•		Cutting. Cutting is the use of diamond abrasive saws to cut concrete and asphalt. This service is frequently utilized in new construction to provide rectangular openings in walls or floors, and is generally more efficient than framing and forming the opening while the concrete is being poured. Flat sawing also is commonly used in modifying existing structures and road rehabilitation.
	•		Coring. Coring is the use of rotary drills to create holes ranging from less than one inch to 42 inches in diameter. This service is most frequently utilized both in new construction and in retrofit of existing facilities to create spaces needed for installation of ventilation ducts, conduits, electrical and other cables, and mechanical passageways. Coring is also used in the Company’s earthquake retrofit projects.
	•		Grinding. Grinding is the use of diamond abrasive grinders to mill away excess material as necessary to attain a uniform, level finish on flat surfaces, such as highways, airport runways and industrial floors. Grinding is also utilized as a maintenance process to extend the useful life of highways by evening the wear patterns caused by years of heavy traffic, to prevent cracking and subsequent failure of the surface.
	•		Grooving. Grooving is the use of diamond abrasive groove cutting machines to provide safety grooving of flat services. This service is commonly provided in connection with the construction or modification of highways and airport runways and provides for better tire traction on these surfaces.

Table of Contents

	•		Sawing and Sealing. Sawing and sealing is the cutting of concrete and the introduction of high-strength epoxy cement and sealant into cracks or spaces to avoid water intrusion into the surface and to provide additional structural strength.
	•		Asphalt Milling. Asphalt milling is the grinding of asphalt and concrete surfaces. This service uses equipment with carbide tools to change the elevation of existing roadways as part of highway rehabilitation projects. The work is performed using a fleet of various size machines, ranging from 200 horsepower, 48” wide machines to 800 horsepower, 8 1/2’ wide machines. This service may also involve road reclamation and asphalt recycling.

     Other Services:

	•		Breaking. Breaking is the use of manually-operated or, in hostile environments, remotely-controlled high-energy hydraulic breaking equipment to remove concrete. This service was most visibly utilized by Penhall in the removal of large sections of the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland, California, following the 1989 earthquake, and in the removal of damaged freeway bridges and overpasses in southern California following the 1994 earthquake. Breaking equipment is more commonly used in less dramatic settings, such as interior renovation of industrial buildings to adapt them to a new use, and in removal of existing structures in preparation for redevelopment of the real estate. The Company has designed and used remotely-controlled breakers for modification and removal of facilities contaminated with radioactive material, such as nuclear power stations and development laboratories.
	•		Clearing and Removal. Clearing and removal is the use of excavators and other heavy-duty equipment to remove broken concrete and other material from a site to a point of recycling or disposal.
	•		Crushing and Recycling. Crushing and recycling is the use of specialized equipment to reduce the size of the material to a consistent specification, separating out the steel reinforcing material for sale as scrap, and providing an aggregate material suitable for use as construction fill material and roadbase material. Such recycling provides a valuable environmental benefit by conserving solid waste landfill space, and converting a waste into a usable product.
	•		Compaction. Compaction is the preparation of subsoil base and fill material to a specification suitable for new construction on the site. Compaction services typically are provided together with removal services in the site preparation process for new construction or redevelopment

OPERATIONS

     Penhall provides the rental of operator assisted equipment through (i) Operated Equipment Rental Services, performed on an hourly as well as a fixed-price quote basis, and (ii) fixed-price contracts, in which Penhall is responsible for the completion of a particular project.

     Penhall’s Operated Equipment Rental Services involve short duration assignments lasting from several hours to a few weeks and typically generate revenues of less than $7,500. Services provided on this basis include specialized work such as highway and airport runway grooving, asphalt cutting, and demolition work such as concrete breaking, removal, and recycling. Although all lines of equipment are rented for these types of projects, a given project will typically use only one piece of equipment. Operated Equipment Rental Services are typically provided on an hourly basis or for a project with pre-determined specifications, and Penhall quotes a bid to perform and invoice the customer for the project.

     Penhall’s services are made available to customers through its 38 regional locations. Penhall maintains a basic equipment rental fleet and operators at each of its 38 locations. If necessary, equipment can be shipped from any of Penhall’s locations to projects at remote sites. Rental fees for Penhall’s equipment range from $80 to $430 per hour and encompass both the equipment and the operator’s time.

     Penhall solicits and receives business over the telephone, by facsimile, by written purchase order or through Penhall salesmen. Each day Penhall’s dispatcher at each location is responsible for the allocation of resources to meet the customer’s service and timing requirements. The dispatcher matches all of the work requests for that day to available equipment and operators. Each of Penhall’s skilled operators has an expertise with a particular piece of equipment. Depending on the requirements for that day, an operator may be assigned from one to four jobs on a given day. An operator’s time is allocated by job through job tickets, which generate both payroll and customer billing data.

Table of Contents

     Historically, Penhall rented its equipment only in conjunction with the services of a Penhall employee as the operator. However, in 1996, Penhall started operating rental yards and offering Bare Equipment Rentals, or renting equipment without operators. To date, such Bare Equipment Rentals have not yet constituted a significant part of Penhall’s revenues.

     Contract pricing utilizes the same equipment and services provided through its Operated Equipment Rental Services; however, these services involve longer duration assignments lasting from a few days to several years and may generate revenues of between $7,500 and $10,000,000. Services provided on this basis include work for highway, airport and building general contractors, federal, state and municipal agencies and for property owners. Fixed-price contract projects typically use multiple types of equipment concurrently and require a Penhall supervisor to coordinate the safe and efficient function of Penhall’s workmen and equipment. For fixed-price contract projects, Penhall typically employs the use of its Operated Equipment Rental Services as well as outside rental equipment and sub-contractors. Although Penhall has obtained contractor’s licenses in 26 states (not including 24 states, which do not require licensing), it typically provides its services in the capacity of a subcontractor under prime or general contracts in approximately half of its fixed-price contract projects.

     The majority of Penhall’s fixed-price contracts are obtained through competitive bidding for general contractors. Penhall determines whether to bid on a project primarily on the basis of the type of work involved. Other factors, including the time of the project, Penhall’s ongoing project schedule and any particular risks involved also affect Penhall’s determination whether to bid on a project. In preparing a bid, Penhall’s estimators analyze material, labor and all other cost components of the proposed project. Penhall also will make its own determination of the quantity of items needed for the project and assess any special risks involved. Penhall must specify in its bid a fixed-price per unit within the range of the estimated quantity to be provided under the contract. Generally, within this range, no adjustments in unit prices are made and Penhall is committed to provide the items at the fixed unit prices specified in its bid, and any unforeseen increase in the cost of the items over the prices bid is borne by Penhall. Penhall has not borne a significant amount of cost increases in connection with its fixed-price contracting services.

     Penhall sometimes contracts directly with Federal, state or local governments or agencies, and in addition some of its work performed for general contractors may relate to a general or prime contract with a governmental entity. Generally the contracting agency reserves the right to terminate the contract with the general contractor, without cause, for its own convenience. In that event, Penhall generally is entitled to be paid its costs for the work performed to the date of termination. Penhall has not historically experienced any material contract cancellations.

SALES AND MARKETING

     Penhall maintains a sales and estimating force of approximately 120 people, with at least two salespersons based at most of Penhall’s operating locations calling on both new and existing customers. These salespeople provide estimates and prepare bids for projects. Management believes that its fixed-price contract services serve as a unique marketing tool for its Operated Equipment Rental Services and help to increase the utilization of Penhall’s operated equipment rental fleet. Penhall also regularly participates in industry trade shows and conferences, and advertises in trade journals.

PURCHASING AND SUPPLIERS

     Penhall’s size, status in the industry and relationships enable it to purchase equipment directly from manufacturers at prices and on terms that Penhall believes to be more favorable than are available to its smaller competitors. Penhall’s procurement of equipment for its rental fleet is generally coordinated through its headquarters in Anaheim, California, while smaller inventory items are typically purchased at the divisional level. Penhall’s suppliers must meet specified standards of quality and experience, and include well-known equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar, John Deere, Ingersoll-Rand, Kenworth, General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company. The favorable pricing, service, training and information that Penhall receives from its suppliers represent what Penhall believes to be a significant competitive advantage. Management continually analyzes the effectiveness, quality and profitability of Penhall’s equipment and addresses equipment procurement issues. Penhall maintains no long-term supply or purchasing contracts and believes that it could readily replace any of its existing suppliers if it were no longer advantageous to purchase equipment from such suppliers.

CUSTOMERS

     Most of Penhall’s customers consist of highway, airport and building general contractors and subcontractors, and Federal, state and municipal agencies in various construction, industrial, manufacturing, governmental and residential markets. Some of Penhall’s major customers include the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Granite Construction, All American Asphalt, and Denver International Airport. During fiscal 2003, Penhall served over 14,000 customers and no one customer accounted for more than 3% of Penhall’s revenues. Management believes that a significant percent of Penhall’s revenues represented repeat business from existing customers.

COMPETITION

     The operated equipment rental industry is a specialized niche of the overall equipment rental industry and is highly competitive. Penhall’s competitors include large national rental companies, regional companies, smaller independent businesses and equipment vendors, which sell and rent equipment to customers. The industry is also highly fragmented, and primarily consists of many relatively small, independent businesses typically serving discrete local markets within 30 to 50 miles of the equipment rental location, with few multi-location regional or national operators. Traditionally, large Operated Equipment Rental Services companies have focused their operations on providing a broad array of services to relatively large customers, primarily in medium to large metropolitan markets, while generally serving smaller markets through delivery from distant major markets.

     Competitive factors in the operated equipment rental industry include breadth of product lines, the availability of equipment and skilled operators, the condition of equipment, service, name recognition, proximity to customers and price. Penhall believes that it is able to successfully compete in the markets that it serves because of its reputation and large fleet of equipment. In addition, certain of the services provided by Penhall, such as diamond saw cutting services, are highly specialized and therefore not widely available; the market for these services therefore tends to be somewhat less competitive. Management does not believe that Penhall faces any significant competitor on a national scale, as the operated equipment rental industry is characterized primarily by local providers offering a limited array of services.

     Management believes the operated equipment rental industry benefits from the continuing trend among businesses to outsource non-core operations to reduce capital investment, convert costs from fixed to variable and minimize the downtime, maintenance, repair and storage associated with equipment ownership. Customers are increasingly using Operated Equipment Rental Services companies to provide a comprehensive supply of equipment and operators.

     Penhall’s fixed-price contract projects are obtained through competitive bidding. In many cases, a performance bond is required by a customer before a contract is awarded. Penhall believes that its bonding capacity is a competitive advantage over smaller, less financially stable competitors. Moreover, Penhall believes that it is able to compete effectively for fixed-price contract jobs because of its extensive resources and relationships with general contractors.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     Penhall currently holds a United States trademark and service mark with respect to the “Penhall” name and logo, which it believes are of particular importance to Penhall’s business. Except with respect to the “Penhall” name and logo, Penhall is not dependent on any intellectual property rights.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

     Penhall utilizes a management information system, which was implemented in fiscal 1997 and subsequently upgraded. The management information system gives management the ability to analyze certain cost results by line of equipment and location. This information network is used to make decisions with respect to investments in new equipment as well as certain other competitive decisions. In addition, the system provides information with respect to contract work in progress, which is used by project managers and contract division management to monitor the status of jobs in progress.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

     Penhall licenses from Motorola and, in one case, from an individual, the right to operate and install certain radio repeater equipment at a number of sites in the State of California. This equipment allows Penhall and its operators in the field to communicate with each other by radio.

     In connection with the radio communications referred to above, Penhall holds several licenses from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) that allow it to broadcast over certain designated radio frequencies. These licenses may not be assigned without the FCC’s consent.

LABOR RELATIONS

     As of June 30, 2003 Penhall Company had approximately 1,300 full-time employees. The Company also hires, on an as-needed basis, equipment operators when work in progress necessitates additional personnel.

     Approximately, 750 of Penhall’s employees are represented by various labor unions. The Company’s unionized work force is divided into approximately 30 certified or lawfully recognized bargaining units.

Table of Contents

     With the exception of two agreements, all agreements expiring during Fiscal 2003 have been renewed or extended. The two pending agreements represent approximately 11 employees. It is anticipated that both agreements will be renewed without any disruption to operations. There are six agreements expiring during fiscal 2004, all at the very end of the fiscal year. No discussions have begun on those agreements. There is no reason to believe that any expiration will have a material effect on Fiscal 2004 operations. There are currently no unfair labor practice charges pending against Penhall either before the National Labor Relations’ Board or the courts.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Penhall is headquartered in Anaheim, California. As of June 30, 2003 Penhall owned or leased 38 facilities which are used for equipment yards and accompanying office space. The following table sets forth the location and square footage of each of such facilities.

     (1)  Leased property.

     Penhall presently leases 27 sites in 16 states (collectively, the “Leased Sites”).

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     The Company’s common equity is not publicly traded and, accordingly, an established market does not exist for such common equity. The Company did not pay any dividends in fiscal 2002 or 2003. The Indenture contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other Restricted Payments (as defined therein), enter into transactions with affiliates, allow its subsidiaries to make certain payments, create liens, make certain asset dispositions and merge or consolidate with, or transfer substantially all of its assets to another person, or engage in certain change of control transactions. As part of the Recapitalization, the Issuer issued the Existing Notes in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In December 1998, the Company filed a registration statement and the Existing Notes were exchanged for registered notes. As part of the Recapitalization, the Company became the successor obligor under the Existing Notes. See “Business — the Reorganization”.

	(2)		Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
	(3)		For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consists of earnings before income taxes and fixed charges. “Fixed Charges” consist of interest expense, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs and the interest portion of the Company’s rent expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $7,337,000, $2,473,000, and $9,361,000 for 1999, 2002, and 2003 respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition of Penhall should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included in Part II of this report.

GENERAL

     Penhall was founded in 1957 in Anaheim, California with one piece of equipment, and today is one of the largest Operated Equipment Rental Services companies in the United States. Penhall differentiates itself from other equipment rental companies by providing specialized services in connection with infrastructure projects through renting equipment along with skilled operators to serve customers in the construction, industrial, manufacturing, governmental and residential markets. In addition, Penhall complements its Operated Equipment Rental Services with fixed-price contracts, which serve to market its Operated Equipment Rental Services business and increase utilization of its operated equipment rental fleet. Penhall provides its services from 38 locations in 17 states, with a presence in some of the fastest growing states in terms of construction spending and population growth.

     The operated equipment rental industry is a specialized niche of the highly fragmented United States equipment rental industry, in which there are approximately 17,000 companies. Penhall has taken advantage of consolidation opportunities by acquiring small companies in targeted markets as well as by establishing new offices in those markets. Since 1998, Penhall has effected eight strategic acquisitions, including:

	1.		HSI, a Minnesota-based firm acquired in April 1998,
	2.		Daley Concrete Cutting, a South Carolina-based division of U.S. Rentals acquired in October 1998,
	3.		Lipscomb Concrete Cutting, a North Carolina-based company acquired in November 1998,
	4.		Prospect Drilling and Sawing, a Minnesota-based company acquired in June 1999,

	5.		Advance Concrete Sawing and Drilling, Inc., a California-based company acquired in September 2000,
	6.		H&P Sawing and Drilling, a Kansas City, Missouri-based Company acquired in March 2002,
	7.		Bob Mack Company, California based company acquired in March 2002, and
	8.		Arizona Curb Cut Company, an Arizona based company acquired in April 2002.

     During the same period, Penhall established operations in six new markets by opening offices in Dallas, Richmond, Fresno, Buffalo, Reno, and Seattle.

     Penhall derives its revenues primarily from services provided for infrastructure related jobs. Penhall’s Operated Equipment Rental Services are provided primarily under hourly rentals, which are complemented by long-term fixed-price contracts. The following table shows the breakdown of the components of revenue for the periods indicated:

(1)

Excludes services performed by the operated equipment rental divisions on long-term contracts.

     Revenue growth is influenced by infrastructure change, including new construction, modification, and regulatory changes. Penhall’s revenues are also impacted positively after the occurrence of natural disasters, such as the 1989 and 1994 earthquakes in Northern and Southern California. Other factors that influence Penhall’s operations are demand for operated rental equipment, the amount and quality of equipment available for rent, rental rates and general economic conditions. Historically, revenues have been seasonal, as weather conditions in the spring and summer months result in stronger performance in the first and fourth fiscal quarters than in the second and third fiscal quarters.

     The principal components of Penhall’s operating costs include the cost of labor, equipment rental fleet maintenance costs including parts and service, equipment rental fleet depreciation, insurance and other direct operating costs. Given the varied, and in some cases specialized, nature of its rental equipment, Penhall utilizes a range of periods over which it depreciates its equipment on a straight-line basis. On average, Penhall depreciates its equipment over an estimated useful life of six years with a 10% residual value.

     Penhall invests in and maintains a large and versatile fleet of rental equipment ranging from relatively small items such as diamond abrasive saws and coring units to larger equipment, including backhoes, excavators, water trucks and concrete grinders. Used equipment is sometimes sold in the ordinary course of business, and gains on sales of assets, net are recognized in “Other Operating Income” in Penhall’s consolidated statements of operations. In fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, gains on sales of assets from such equipment sales were $422,000, $300,000 and $485,000, respectively.

     The following table shows the number of units in Penhall’s operated equipment rental fleet for the following periods:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to long-term construction contracts, accounts receivable, goodwill, long-lived assets, self-insurance, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on current information, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recognition of revenue that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Construction Contracts

     Income from construction operations is recorded using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The Company has two types of contracts. The first type of contract is fixed unit in which the percentage of completion is determined based on the units completed as a percentage of estimated total units. The second type of contract is lump sum in which percentage of completion is determined based on costs incurred to date as compared to total estimated costs at completion. If estimated total costs on any contract indicate a loss, the Company provides currently for the total loss anticipated on the contract. For long-term contracts, which extend beyond fiscal year ends, revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which facts requiring the revision become known. All remaining revenue and costs are recognized as work is performed.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Prior to 2003, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally 15 years. The Company assessed recoverability by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life would be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, was measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds. The assessment of the recoverability of goodwill would be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows were not achieved. Amortization expense related to goodwill amounted to approximately $687,000 and $609,000 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001, clarifies the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires that unallocated negative goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain. SFAS No. 142, which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, requires that ratable amortization of goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of goodwill impairment and that intangible assets, other than goodwill, which have determinable useful lives, be amortized over their useful lives. The Company has adopted these accounting standards effective July 1, 2002, and accordingly, no amortization of goodwill was recorded in 2003. As a result of the transitional and annual goodwill impairment tests that were completed during fiscal 2003, it was determined there was no impairment of goodwill. The Company’s annual test will be performed in May of each year. There were no adjustments to identifiable intangible assets’ useful lives or recorded balances as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

     We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill annually as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include:

	•		Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
	•		Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
	•		Significant negative industry or economic trends;
	•		Unanticipated competition; and
	•		EBITDA relative to net book value

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Year Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2002

     Revenues. Revenues for Fiscal 2003 were $159.6 million compared to $161.2 million for the prior year, a decrease of $1.6 million or 1.0%. A $0.6 million increase in contract revenue (1.4% increase) was offset by a $2.2 million decrease in service revenues (a 1.9% decrease). The lower revenues is a reflection of the significant slowdown in private non-residential construction activity, which declined 16% in 2002 according to Department of Commerce data as well as significantly lower state highway and bridge spending due to deficits in many state budgets.

     Penhall operated through 38 locations in 17 states at June 30, 2002 and 2003. At June 30, 2003, Penhall’s operated rental fleet consisted of 710 units compared to 761 units at June 30, 2002, a decrease of 6.7%. A majority of the unit disposals in fiscal 2003 occurred during the later part of the fiscal year.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit totaled $31.6 million in Fiscal 2003, a decrease of $7.3 million or 18.7% from Fiscal 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 24.1% in Fiscal 2002 to 19.8% in Fiscal 2003. The decrease in gross profit from Fiscal 2002 to Fiscal 2003 is primarily attributable to increased competition, cost overruns on some contracts, and an increase of $1.7 million in insurance costs during Fiscal 2003. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due to increased competition, an increase in insurance costs, decrease in equipment utilization, and a change in the mix of work. Although the amount of Contract Revenue only increased $0.6 million during Fiscal 2003, the amount of subcontracted work and materials associated with the Contract Revenue increased by $5.9 million. Typically, the markup on subcontracted work and materials is significantly less than the markup on self performed work.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $27.9 million in Fiscal 2003 compared to $28.4 million in Fiscal 2002. As a percent of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 17.5% in Fiscal 2003 compared to 17.6% in Fiscal 2002. The small decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues during Fiscal 2003 is primarily attributable to decreases of $0.4 million in incentive compensation, $0.5 million in payroll and related expenses, and $0.6 million in goodwill amortization partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in insurance costs and a $0.4 million increase in bad debt expense.

Table of Contents

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $14.4 million in Fiscal 2003 compared to interest expense of $14.3 million in Fiscal 2002. The increase in interest expense is attributable to a write-off of $0.3 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility replaced by the The New Credit (as defined below) offset by lower interest rates and decreased borrowings during Fiscal 2003.

     Income Tax Benefit. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.4 million, or 36.8% of loss before income taxes in Fiscal 2003, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.9 million, or 34.6% of loss before income taxes in Fiscal 2002. The increase in the income tax benefit is attributable to a higher loss before income tax in Fiscal 2003.

Year Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2001

     Revenues. Revenues for fiscal 2002 were $161.2 million, compared to revenues of $175.8 million for the prior year, a decrease of $14.5 million or 8.3%. Lower revenues in 2002 were primarily a result of a weaker economy, a significant downturn in commercial building construction, and increased competition.

     Penhall operated through 38 locations in 17 states at June 30, 2002, compared to 37 locations in 17 states at June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, Penhall’s operated rental fleet consisted of 761 units compared to 747 units at June 30, 2001, an increase of 1.9%. A majority of the additional units in fiscal 2002 were acquired during the later part of the fiscal year as part of the Bob Mack Company and Arizona Curb Cut acquisitions.

     Gross Profit. For fiscal year 2002, gross profit was $38.8 million compared to gross profit of $51.4 million for fiscal year 2001, a decrease of $12.5 million, or 24.4%. As a percent of revenue, gross profit was 24.1% in fiscal year 2002 compared to 29.2% in fiscal year 2001. The decrease in gross profit in 2002 was due primarily to the decrease in utilization of the equipment rental fleet in fiscal 2002 and an increase of $3.6 million in the cost of insurance. Utilization rates were lower due to the softening of the commercial construction market and increased competition in most of the Company’s markets. The increased cost of insurance in 2002 is a result of Penhall renewing its insurance near the end of fiscal 2001 in an adverse insurance market after emerging from a three year policy which was purchased during a favorable insurance market.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $28.4 million in fiscal year 2002 compared to $28.3 million in fiscal year 2001, an increase of $0.1 million or 0%, which is primarily attributable to a $1.1 million decrease in wages, primarily incentive compensation, offset by operating increases mainly attributable to a full year of costs associated with new offices and additional partial year operating costs associated with the Bob Mack Company and Arizona Curb Cut acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 17.6% in fiscal 2002 compared to 16.1% in fiscal 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues occurred because many of these types of expenses remain somewhat constant, and do not increase or decrease in proportion to the increases or decreases in revenues.

     Other Operating Income. Other operating income, consists primarily of gains and losses on the sale of fixed assets, interest income, and discounts earned. Other operating income in both fiscal 2002 and 2001 was $1.4 million.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $14.3 million in fiscal 2002 compared to $15.3 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 6.4%. The decrease is attributable to the lower borrowings and lower interest rates during fiscal 2002.

     Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 million, or 34.6% of losses before taxes in fiscal 2002 as compared to an income tax expense of $3.9 million, or 42.6% of earnings before income taxes in fiscal 2001. The lower effective tax rate on the loss in fiscal 2002 is due to unconsolidated state tax liabilities of Penhall Company and a 45% reduction of the California net operating loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     It is anticipated that the Company’s principal uses of liquidity will be to fund working capital, meet debt service requirements and finance the Company’s strategy of pursuing strategic acquisitions and expanding through internal growth. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flow from operations and borrowings under the New Credit Facility (“The New Credit”). The New Credit is a $50 million, three year asset based borrowing facility, consisting of a revolving credit facility (“New Revolver”) of up to $50 million with a $25 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Availability under the revolver portion of The New Credit would be limited to a borrowing base consisting of (i) up to 85% of the net amount of the Company’s eligible trade accounts receivable, (ii) up to the lesser of (a) 100% of the net book value of the Company’s eligible inventory and eligible equipment or (b) 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of Company’s eligible inventory and equipment, and (iii) up to 50% of the

appraised forced liquidation value of the Company’s owned real estate. In addition, borrowings under The New Credit are subject to certain financial covenants that include capital expenditure limits, utilization rate ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and a minimum borrowing availability limit. The indebtedness of the Company under The New Credit is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the inventory, accounts, equipment, fixtures, cash, and other assets of the Company. As of June 30, 2003, total borrowing unused and available under The New Credit was $20.1 million.

     In fiscal 2003, the Company’s net loss plus add backs of depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, provision for doubtful receivables and the gains on sales of assets, plus decreases in accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and the increase in insurance reserves were partially offset by increases in inventories and deferred taxes which resulted in net cash provided by operating activities of $12.6 million.

     In fiscal 2002, the Company’s net loss plus depreciation and amortization, a decrease in receivables and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and an increase in deferred taxes which resulted in net cash provided by operating activities of $17.6 million.

     In fiscal 2001, the Company’s net earnings plus depreciation, amortization and provision for deferred income tax and decreases in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts were partially offset by increases in receivables and inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets and decreases in accounts payable and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts which resulted in net cash provided by operating activities of $15.7 million.

     Management estimates that Penhall’s annual capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0 million for fiscal 2004, including replacement and maintenance of equipment, purchases of new equipment, and purchases of real property improvements.

     Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $17.7 million, $12.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Such cash was primarily used for capital expenditures of $18.5 million in fiscal 2001, $9.5 million in fiscal 2002, and $4.2 million in fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2001, $0.5 million was used for the acquisition of Advance Concrete Sawing & Drilling, Inc. and H&P Sawing & Drilling. In fiscal 2002, $3.8 million was used for the acquisition of Bob Mack Company and Arizona Curb Cut. The Company had no acquisitions in fiscal 2003.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities during fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $0.9 million, $0.0 million and ($15.7) million respectively.

     Historically, Penhall has funded its working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other needs principally from operating cash flows. As a result of the Transactions, however, the Company has substantial indebtedness and debt service obligations. As of June 30, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries had $117.4 million of total indebtedness outstanding (including the Notes) and a stockholders’ deficit of $75.9 million. As of June 30, 2003 approximately $20.1 million of additional borrowing was available under The New Credit.

     From August 1, 2002 through October 25, 2002, the Company repurchased capital stock of the Company from four former employees for aggregate consideration of $35,000. The Company’s Indenture dated as of August 1, 1998 (the “Indenture”) with United States Trust Company, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), permits repurchases of capital stock from former employees in annual amounts up to $1,000,000 and up to $5,000,000 in aggregate over the life of the Indenture; provided that, at the time of any such repurchase, the Company must be able to incur additional indebtedness under the Indenture’s fixed charge coverage ratio. At the time of the repurchases described above, the Company was not able to incur additional indebtedness under the Indenture’s fixed charge coverage ratio, and accordingly such repurchases were not permitted by the Indenture. The Company has informed the Trustee of such repurchases. In the event that the Company receives, in accordance with the Indenture, written notice of such default from either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, the Company has thirty days to remedy the matter and will seek either to cure such default or to obtain a waiver of such default in accordance with the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any of the Note Holders have indicated their intent to notify the Company of default and the Company does not believe that written notice of such default will be forthcoming.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On August 16, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. The statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement obligations of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted this statement July 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” which supercedes SFAS No. 121 and certain sections of APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 144 classifies long-lived assets as either (1) to be held and used, (2) to be disposed of by other than sale, or (3) to be disposed of by sale. This standard introduces a probability-weighted cash flow estimation approach to deal with situations in which alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or a range is estimated for the amount of possible future cash flows. The Company adopted this statement July 1, 2002. This standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” which among other things provides guidance in reporting gains and losses from extinguishments of debt and accounting for leases. The Company adopted this statement July 1, 2002 . This standard has not had a material impact on its financial position or its results of operations.

     On July 30, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” It requires that a liability be recognized for those costs only when the liability is incurred, that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB’s conceptual framework. SFAS No. 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Adoption of SFAS 146 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires a guarantor to include disclosure of certain obligations, and if applicable, at the inception of the guarantee, recognize a liability for the fair value of other certain obligations undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The recognition requirement is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company did not have any guarantees subject to FIN 45 at June 30, 2003, and has applied the provisions of FIN No. 45 prospectively to guarantees subject to FIN 45 made after December 31, 2002.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has complied with the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 148.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN No. 46 clarifies when variable interest entities are consolidated by business enterprises where the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, or, where equity investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company did not have any investments in any variable interest entities at June 30, 2003 and has applied the provisions of FIN No. 46 prospectively to investments in variable interest entities made after February 1, 2003.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” Statement 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Statement No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Statement No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic entity for which this statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning December 15, 2003, the Company’s fiscal 2005. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial position, results of its operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its notes payable, including the Term Loan and Revolving Loan (which have been replaced by The New Revolver), and Senior Notes which are used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company’s operations. The Company’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and has the ability to choose interest rates under the New Revolver. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

     There are no derivative transactions during the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003.

At June 30, 2003, the annual maturities of long-term debt and senior notes are as follows:

At June 30, 2002, the annual maturities of long-term debt and senior notes are as follows:
