NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The
Company believes that all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position of the Company at June 30, 2002 and the consolidated results of its
operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have been included.
Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full year. Quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and related notes presented in the Company's 2001 Form
10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are based on the average number of common
shares considered outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share for
such periods reflect the effect of all potentially dilutive securities
(primarily outstanding common stock options). The following table presents the
number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share for the periods:

Note 5 - Segment Disclosure
The Company has two reportable business segments, the Electronic
Instruments Group and the Electromechanical Group. The Company organizes its
businesses primarily on the basis of product type, production processes,
distribution methods, and management organizations.
At June 30, 2002, there were no significant changes in identifiable assets
of reportable segments from the amounts disclosed at December 31, 2001, nor were
there any changes in the basis of segmentation, or in the measurement of segment
operating results. Operating information relating to the Company's reportable
segments for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 can be
found in the table on page 9 in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Report.
Note 6 - New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of the
Statement. As of January 1, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill.

In the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed the transitional
impairment test of its goodwill. As a result of the valuation performed, the
Company found no indications of goodwill impairment. During the six months ended
June 30, 2002, changes to goodwill primarily resulted from purchase accounting
adjustments related to recent acquisitions. As of June 30, 2002, goodwill by
segment was: Electronic Instrument Group (EIG) - $243.0 million;
Electromechanical Group (EMG) - $147.6 million.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of", and provides
a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption
of this Statement had no effect on the Company's consolidated results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities".
Statement No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit and Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Among other things,
Statement No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit
or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of at
the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan as under EITF Issue No. 94-3.
Statement No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are
initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The
Company is currently studying the future effects of adopting this Statement.

Operations for the second quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of
2001
In the second quarter of 2002, the economic slowdown continued to impact many of
the Company's businesses. Net sales for the second quarter of 2002 were $267.4
million, an increase of $6.0 million or 2.3%, compared with the second quarter
2001 net sales of $261.4 million. Net sales for the Electronic Instruments Group
(EIG) increased $12.5 million or 10.2% for the second quarter, primarily due to
the 2001 acquisitions of Instruments for Research and Applied Science (IRAS) and
EDAX, Inc. Net Sales for the Electromechanical Group (EMG) were down $6.5
million or 4.7% in the second quarter of 2002. Continued adverse market
conditions in the worldwide global floor care markets were partially offset by
the May 2001 acquisition of GS Electric. Without the 2001 acquisitions,
consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2002 would have shown a 7.4%
reduction when compared with the same period in 2001.
Segment operating income for the second quarter of 2002 was $42.5 million, an
increase of $2.5 million or 6.2% from $40.0 million in the second quarter of
2001. Segment operating income, as a percentage of sales, increased to 15.9% of
sales in the current second quarter from 15.3% of sales in the second quarter of
2001. The 2001 acquisitions and the non-amortization of goodwill drove the
higher second quarter of 2002 operating income. The Company also continues to
benefit from its 2001 cost reduction initiatives.
9
AMETEK, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.0 million in the second
quarter of 2002, an increase of $3.8 million or 16.5%, when compared with the
second quarter of 2001. Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to
8.3% in the second quarter of 2002, compared with 7.2% for the same period in
2001. The higher content of selling expenses was due to the 2001 acquisitions.
Selling expenses by base businesses decreased as a percentage of sales during
the period, reflecting the Company's cost reduction initiatives.
Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $4.8 million, an increase
of $0.3 million from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. Corporate
expenses represent 1.8% of sales for second quarter of 2002, essentially the
same as the second quarter of 2001. Higher insurance and pension costs in the
second quarter of 2002 accounted for the higher corporate expenses. After
deducting corporate expenses, consolidated operating income totaled $37.7
million, or 14.1% of sales for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $35.6
million, or 13.6% of sales for the 2001 second quarter.
Interest expense was $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared with
$7.2 million for the same quarter of 2001. The decrease of $0.8 million in the
second quarter of 2002 was a result of lower interest rates partially offset by
higher average debt levels compared to the second quarter of 2001.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 32.1% compared with
34.6% for the second quarter of 2001. The lower tax rate in 2002 reflects the
tax effect of not amortizing goodwill due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, and
higher tax credits associated with export sales.
Net income for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $21.3 million, up 14.3% from
$18.7 million in the second quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share rose
12.5% to $0.63 per share, compared with $0.56 per share for the same quarter of
2001. The second quarter of 2001 included goodwill amortization of $2.5 million
after tax, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Segment Results
Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) net sales totaled $135.3 million in the
second quarter of 2002, an increase of $12.5 million or 10.2% from the same
quarter of 2001. Net sales increased in the second quarter of 2002 due to the
2001 acquisitions of IRAS and EDAX, Inc. Without these acquisitions, EIG's sales
for the second quarter of 2002 would have been 6.3% lower than the same period
in 2001 due to general economic weakness throughout the segment, although the
high-end analytical instruments and heavy-vehicle businesses performed well.
10
AMETEK, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Operating income of EIG was $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2002, an
increase of $2.1 million or 11.5% when compared with the second quarter of 2001.
The increase in operating income was due to the sales increase and the
non-amortization of goodwill in 2002, as well as improved operating margins
resulting from the 2001 cost reduction initiatives, previously mentioned. EIG's
pretax goodwill amortization in the second quarter of 2001 was $1.7 million.
Operating margins were 15.3% of sales in the second quarter of 2002 compared
with operating margins of 15.1% of sales in the second quarter of 2001.
Electromechanical Group (EMG) net sales totaled $132.1 million in the second
quarter 2002, a decrease of $6.5 million or 4.7% from the same quarter in 2001.
The sales decrease was primarily caused by continued overall weakness in the
Group's markets, led by softness in the worldwide floor-care market. The sales
decline was partially offset by the May 2001 GS Electric acquisition. Without
the acquisition, EMG sales would have been 8.3% lower than the comparable
quarter of 2001.
Operating income of EMG was $21.9 million for the second quarter of 2002, an
increase of $0.3 million or 1.6% compared with the second quarter of 2001.
Although the sales decline adversely affected profits, the higher operating
income was primarily due to contributions from the May 2001 acquisition and the
non-amortization of goodwill in 2002, as well as profit margin improvements,
which were the result of the 2001 cost reduction initiatives. EMG's pretax
goodwill amortization in the second quarter of 2001 was $1.2 million. Group
operating income as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2002 was
16.5%, compared with operating margins of 15.5% in the second quarter of 2001.
Operations for the first six months of 2002 compared with the first six months
of 2001.
In the first six months of 2002, the economic slowdown continued to
impact many of the Company's businesses. Net sales for the first six months of
2002 were $531.0 million, an increase of $5.5 million, compared with net sales
of $525.5 million reported for the first six months of 2001. EIG's net sales
increased by 9.3% for the comparative periods due to the 2001 acquisitions of
IRAS and EDAX, Inc. EMG's net sales decreased 6.4% for the first six months of
2002 due to continued weakness in the worldwide floor-care market, partially
offset by the May 2001 GS Electric acquisition. Without the 2001 acquisitions,
consolidated sales for the first six months of 2002 would have shown a 10.2%
reduction when compared with the same period in 2001.
New orders for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $515.7 million, compared
with $526.3 million for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $10.6 million, or
2.1%. Orders in the first six months of 2002 declined primarily in the aerospace
and power instrument businesses whose orders were unusually strong in the first
six months of 2001. The decline in order input was partially
11
AMETEK, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
offset by orders received from the 2001 acquisitions. The Company's backlog of
unfilled orders at June 30, 2002 was $261.3 million, compared with $276.6
million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $15.4 million or 5.7%, due to the
reasons mentioned above.
Segment operating income for the first six months of 2002 was $84.1 million, an
increase of $3.3 million or 4.0% compared with the same period in 2001. As a
percentage of sales, 2002 segment operating income rose to 15.8% from 15.4% for
the comparable period in 2001. The higher operating income was primarily driven
by the 2001 acquisitions and the non-amortization of goodwill, effective at the
beginning of 2002. The Company continues to benefit from its 2001 cost reduction
initiatives, which includes the migration of production to low-cost locales in
Reynosa, Mexico, China and the Czech Republic.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $54.8 million for the first
six months of 2002, an increase of $7.5 million or 15.8%, when compared with the
second quarter of 2001. Selling expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to
8.5% for the first six months of 2002, compared with 7.2% for the same period in
2001. The higher content of selling expenses was due to the 2001 acquisitions.
Selling expenses by base businesses decreased as a percentage of sales during
the period, reflecting the Company's cost reduction initiatives.
Corporate expenses were $9.9 million for the first six months of 2002, an
increase of $0.4 million or 4.3% when compared with the same period in 2001, but
were unchanged as a percentage of sales. Higher insurance and pension costs in
the six months ended June 30, 2002 accounted for the higher corporate expenses.
Operating income was $74.1 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 4.0% when
compared with the same period in 2001. This represents an operating margin of
14.0% for the first six months of 2002 compared with 13.6% for the same period
in 2001.
Interest expense was $13.3 million for the first six months of 2002, a decrease
of $1.5 million or 10.4% when compared with the first six months of 2001.
Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower interest rates partially
offset by higher average debt levels when compared with same period in 2001.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2002 was 32.5% compared with
35.0% for the second quarter of 2001. The lower tax rate in 2002 reflects the
tax effect of not amortizing goodwill due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, and
higher tax credits associated with export sales.
Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $41.0 million, or $1.22 per
share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $36.9 million, or $1.11
per diluted share for the first six months of 2001. The first six months in 2001
included goodwill amortization of $4.8 million after tax, or $0.14 per diluted
share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Segment Results
Electronic Instruments Group (EIG), net sales were $272.1 million for the first
half of 2002, an increase of $23.3 million or 9.3% compared with the same period
of 2001. The sales increase in 2002 was due to the 2001 acquisitions of IRAS and
EDAX, Inc. Without these acquisitions, EIG's sales for the first six months of
2002 would have been 7.1% lower than the same period of 2001, due to general
economic weakness across most of the Group's businesses.
EIG's operating income for the first half of 2002 totaled $41.6 million, an
increase of $4.2 million or 11.4% compared with the first half of 2001. The
increase in operating income was due to the non-amortization of goodwill in
2002, and the sales increase, as well as improved operating margins resulting
from the 2001 cost reduction initiatives. EIG's pretax goodwill amortization in
the first six months of 2001 was $3.2 million. Operating margins were 15.3% of
sales in the first six months of 2002 compared with operating margins of 15.0%
of sales in the comparable period in 2001.
In the Electromechanical Group (EMG) net sales totaled $258.9 million for the
first six months of 2002, a decrease of $17.7 million or 6.4% compared with the
same period in 2001. The sales decrease was mainly caused by continued weakness
in many of the Group's markets, led by softness in the worldwide floor-care
market. The sales decline was partially offset by the May 2001 GS Electric
acquisition. Without the acquisition, EMG sales would have decreased by 13.0%
from the comparable period in 2001.
EMG's operating income for the first six months of 2002 was $42.4 million, a
decrease of $1.0 million or 2.2% when compared with the same period in 2001. The
lower operating income was mainly due to the sales decrease, partially offset by
profit margin improvement, which was the result of the cost reduction
initiatives. Operating income in 2002 benefited from the non-amortization of
goodwill. EMG's pretax goodwill amortization in the first six months of 2001 was
$2.4 million. Operating margins for the first six months of 2002 was 16.4%,
compared with operating margins of 15.7% margin for the comparable period in
2001.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $56.7 million in the first half of
2002, compared with $18.1 million (before accounts receivable securitization
transactions) for the same period in 2001, a significant increase of $38.6
million. The $38.6 million increase in operating cash flow was the result of
strong working capital management in the first half of 2002, including lower
inventories. The first half of 2001 included a build-up in inventories
associated with the Company's movement of certain products to low-cost
manufacturing facilities. After tax cash expenditures in the first half of 2002
related to the Company's fourth quarter 2001 accrual for cost reduction
initiatives were

FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
$2.4 million. The Company expects to make total after tax cash expenditures on
these initiatives of approximately $7.0 million in 2002. In connection with its
accounts receivable securitization program, on April 1, 2001, the Company
recorded $45.0 million of securitized accounts receivable and short-term
borrowings of a special purpose subsidiary, which amount had previously been
given off-balance sheet treatment. As a result of the above items, cash
generated by operating activities totaled $56.7 million in the first six months
of 2002, compared with cash used of $26.9 million in the same period of 2001.
Cash used for investing activities totaled $13.9 million in the first six months
of 2002, compared with $40.4 million used in the same period of 2001. The 2001
period included the purchase of GS Electric in May 2001 for $32.3 million.
Additions to property, plant and equipment in the first six months of 2002
totaled $7.9 million, compared with $14.1 million in the same period of 2001.
Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of 2002 totaled $41.5
million, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $67.9 million in
the same period of 2001. In the first six months of 2002, net short-term
borrowings decreased by $44.7 million, reflecting the use of operating cash
inflows, compared with an increase of $61.9 million in 2001 due to the effect of
the accounts receivable securitization transaction, noted above. Net cash
proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options totaled $7.4 million in the
first six months of 2002, compared with $9.9 million for the first six months in
2001.
As a result of the activities discussed above, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents at June 30, 2002 totaled $15.4 million, compared with $14.1 million
at December 31, 2001. The Company believes it has sufficient cash-generating
capabilities and available credit facilities to enable it to meet its needs in
the foreseeable future.
