PART I
Item 1. Business
General
TB Wood's Corporation (the "Company" or "TB Wood's") is an established designer,
manufacturer and marketer of electronic and mechanical industrial power
transmission products. The Company's products are sold to North American and
international manufacturers and users of industrial equipment. Headquartered in
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, the 146 year-old business operates eleven
manufacturing facilities with approximately 950 employees in the United States,
Mexico, Germany, Italy, and India. The Company has a network of more than 1,000
select independent and multi-branch distributors with over 3,000 locations in
North America.
History
TB Wood's Incorporated ("TBW"), the Company's principal operating subsidiary
which was founded in 1857, entered the power transmission industry in 1900 and
was incorporated in 1906 in Pennsylvania as T.B. Wood's Sons Company. TB Wood's
Corporation was incorporated in 1995 to acquire the outstanding common stock of
TB Wood's Incorporated. The Company classifies its industrial power transmission
business into two segments, mechanical and electronics.
Since entering the electronics industrial power transmission business segment in
1968 the Company has introduced and launched several new electronic products and
product line extensions bringing the total number of active electronic product
families to 16. Seven of these introductions have occurred within the last three
years. These include extensions to our line of full-featured electronic variable
frequency drives ("VFD") for controlling the speed of alternating current ("AC")
induction motors, a new micro sized VFD family, a new heating, ventilation and
air conditioning ("HVAC") family of packaged drives, and a new electronic soft
starter for electric motors for 2003. In 2001, the Company introduced a National
Sanitation Foundation certified drive for use in Food Area Splash zone
applications. The Company has continued its focus on cost-effective VFDs for
industrial Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") applications. Since 1992, the
Company has introduced ten new mechanical products and product line extensions,
including three mechanical belted drive products and four new coupling products
and began the introduction of gearboxes as a component of its mechanical
business segment.
The Company uses acquisitions and strategic alliances to enhance product
offerings, gain access to technology and products, leverage fixed costs, and
extend the Company's global reach. Since 1993 the Company has completed eight
acquisitions. In the electronics industrial power transmission business segment
the Company acquired Plant Engineering Consultants, Inc. (PEC), an established
supplier of integrated electronic control systems for the fibers industry;
Graseby Controls Inc., a supplier of high-frequency VFDs for machine tool
applications; and certain assets of Ambi-Tech Industries, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of electronic motor brakes. In December 1997, the Company acquired
Berges electronic GmbH in Germany, and its subsidiary Berges electronic S.r.l.
in Italy. The Berges companies are well-established VFD developers,
manufacturers and marketers, and are located in two of the most important
machinery markets in Europe. The Company's mechanical industrial power
transmission business acquisitions include several lines of flexible couplings
and variable speed drives from Dana Corporation; certain assets of Deck
Manufacturing, a producer of gear couplings; and Grupo Blaju S.A. de C.V., the
leading Mexican manufacturer and marketer of belted drives. During July 1999,
the Company entered into a joint venture with The Electron Corp., located in
Littleton, Colorado covering belted drive products to leverage fixed costs,
provide additional foundry capacity, and open new customer opportunities. This
joint venture was terminated in 2002 when the Company purchased Electron's joint
venture interest. The Company retained the new customers developed by the
venture. The Company has strategic alliances with companies in Finland, France,
Switzerland, and Japan.
Industry Overview
The industrial power transmission industry provides electronic and mechanical
products used in manufacturing and material processing activities that transfer
controlled power from an electric motor or internal combustion engine to a
machine. The industrial power transmission industry consists of three product
categories: mechanical power transmission components, gearboxes and electronic
drives. The Company competes in the mechanical power transmission components and
electronic drive categories and began competing in the gearbox category in 2002,
as a component of its mechanical business segment.
3
The markets for some of the Company's products are cyclical, generally following
changes in the overall economy. Consequently, during periods of economic
expansion, the Company has experienced increased demand for its products, and
during periods of economic contraction, the Company has experienced decreased
demand for its products. Such changes in the general economy affect the
Company's results of operations in relevant fiscal periods.
Products
The products manufactured by the Company are classified into two segments for
financial reporting purposes, mechanical and electronics industrial power
transmission businesses. The mechanical business segment includes belted drives,
couplings and gearboxes. The electronics business segment includes electronic
drives and electronic drive systems. Products of these segments are sold to
distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and end users for manufacturing
and commercial applications.
For further information on the Company's operating segments, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnote No. 9 included in this Form 10-K.

Electronic Product Offering
The Company designs and manufactures AC electronic VFDs and motor starters,
Direct Current ("DC") electronic VFDs, and integrated electronic drive systems
that are marketed throughout North America and internationally. The Company also
manufactures electronic motor brakes for AC induction motors. These products are
used to control the speed, acceleration and other operating characteristics of
electric motors in manufacturing processes. The Company's standard AC electronic
VFD products, which represent most of its net sales of electronic drive product
offering, are programmable to meet the needs of specific applications with
particular strengths in food processing, materials handling, HVAC, oil
production, textile/fibers, packaging, furniture, and general machinery
applications. The Company's electronic products are designed to meet both North
American and European electrical standards. The Company's integrated electronic
drive systems consist of uniquely configured AC and/or DC electronic VFDs,
programmable logic controllers, in-house designed custom printed circuit boards
and software. These systems are packaged in custom enclosures to meet the
requirements of specific applications.
Mechanical Product Offering
The Company's mechanical product offering includes a full line of stock and
made-to-order products including V-belt drives, synchronous drives, open belted
variable speed drives, and a broad line of flexible couplings, as well as
hydrostatic drives, clutches, brakes and gearboxes. These products are used in a
variety of industrial applications to transmit power from electric motors and
internal combustion engines to machines. The primary markets for these products
are the construction, oilfield, specialized industrial machinery, food
processing, material handling, pumps, compressors, mining, pulp and paper, and
agricultural equipment industries.
Marketing and Distribution
The Company's products are sold principally throughout North America and to a
lesser extent internationally. In North America, the Company sells to more than
1,000 authorized independent and multi-branch industrial distributors with over
3,000 locations that resell the Company's products to industrial consumers and
OEMs. The Company also sells directly to over 300 OEMs. The Company's marketing
alliances include licensing agreements and distribution agreements with
distributors and manufacturers who, in some cases, market the Company's products
under private label agreements. In North America, the Company has its own
technical sales force of more than 40 people and several specialized
manufacturers' representatives.
The Company operates central distribution centers in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania;
Reno, Nevada; Stratford, Ontario; and Mexico City, Mexico and regional
distribution centers in Atlanta, Georgia; Orlando, Florida; Montreal, Quebec;
Edmonton, Alberta; Marienheide, Germany; Naturns, Italy; and Bangalore, India.
4
The Company's products are manufactured to maintain stock inventories and to
meet forecasts from specific customers. On-time delivery is important. Order
backlogs are generally less than one month's customer shipments and are not
considered to be material in amount.
Customers
The Company's products are consumed principally by industrial users through
industrial distributors. The Company's OEM customers include a number of Fortune
500 companies. The Company's distributor partners include, among others, Motion
Industries and Kaman Industrial Technologies, who are among the largest
distributors in the industrial power transmission industry. In addition, the
Company's distributors sell to OEMs. Management believes that the Company is one
of the leading suppliers of power transmission products, based on sales volume,
to its distributors. The Company's five largest customers accounted for
approximately 40%, 36% and 31% of the Company's consolidated revenue for fiscal
years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Motion Industries, an industrial
distributor with a large diversified customer base, accounted for approximately
25% of the Company's consolidated revenue for fiscal 2002.
Competition
The industrial power transmission industry is highly competitive. Competition in
the AC and DC electronic drive product categories is based on product
performance, physical size of the product, tolerance for hostile environments,
application support, availability and price. The Company's competitors in these
electronic product categories include large multi-national companies in North
America, Europe, and Asia, as well as many small, domestic niche manufacturers.
The integrated electronic drive system market is driven by increased demand from
end users for greater speed and process control. This market includes sales of
products used in the maintenance and replacement of existing systems, upgrades
to existing systems and new capacity expansion. Competition is based on process
knowledge and engineering, software design, product durability and price. Major
systems competitors include Asea Brown Boveri, Allen Bradley, and Siemens Corp.
The Company competes with several divisions of large industrial companies as
well as many small to mid-sized independent companies in the mechanical product
category. Competition in the mechanical product offering is based on
availability, quality, price, size capability, engineering and customer support.
The Company's most significant competitors in the mechanical product category
include Rockwell Automation, Inc., Emerson Electric Co., Martin Sprocket & Gear,
Inc., Rexnord Industries, Inc., and Lovejoy, Inc. Management believes that there
are no significant foreign competitors in the North American mechanical product
market because of a fragmented customer base, prohibitive freight costs as
compared to selling price, and difficult access to existing distribution
channels.
Research and Development
The Company's research and development efforts include the development of new
products, the testing of products, and the enhancement of manufacturing
techniques and processes. The Company's annual expenditures for research and
development (including royalties and payments to third parties) were $2.9
million for 2002, $3.1 million for 2001, and $3.1 million for 2000 which as a
percent of net sales during the last three fiscal years have been 2.8% for 2002,
2.8% for 2001, and 2.3% for 2000. The Company completed a new Technology Center
in 2000 at its Chambersburg facility that is designed to make the research and
development investment more productive by making it easier for engineers to
share insights and collaborate on projects. Electronic drive system research is
also conducted in Chattanooga, TN.
Raw Materials
The Company uses standard purchased components in all of its electronics
products. The Company also purchases specialized components designed by its
engineers. Purchased components include power transistors, capacitors, printed
circuit boards, microprocessors and associated semiconductor integrated
circuits, aluminum heat sinks, plastic enclosures and sheet metal stampings.
These electronic parts and components are purchased from a number of suppliers
and management has taken steps to qualify multiple sources for key items. The
principal raw materials used in the Company's mechanical manufacturing
operations are various types of steel, including pig iron, metal stampings,
castings, forging and powdered metal components. The Company also designs, tools
and out-sources special components made of aluminum, powdered metal and
polymers. The Company purchases the materials used in its mechanical
manufacturing operations from a number of suppliers and management believes that
the availability of its materials is adequate and not significantly dependent on
any one supplier.
5
Patents and Trademarks
The Company owns patents relating to its coupling, composite, synchronous drive,
open belted variable speed drive electronic drive, and clutch/brake product
lines. The Company also owns several patents relating to the design of its
products. From time to time, the Company will grant licenses to others to use
certain of its patents and will obtain licenses under the patents of others. In
addition, the Company owns or has the right to use registered United States
trademarks for the following principal products: Sure-Flex(R), Formflex(R),
Ultra-V(R), Roto-Cone(R), Var-A-ConeTM, True TubeTM, AmbiTech(TM), E-trAC(R),
Ultracon(R), FiberlinkTM, Dura-Flex(R), Disc-O-Torque(R), E-FLOW(R), E-Trol,
IMD(R), NLS, Petro-trAC(R), Roto-Cam, S-trAC(R), Sure-Grip(R), Volkman(R),
All-Pro(R), Superstart(R), Truetube(R), Wood's @ Work(R), and QT Power Chain(R).
Employees
As of December 27, 2002 the Company employed approximately 950 people. At its
Stratford, Ontario facility five employees are represented by the United
Steelworkers of America pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement that
expires on January 19, 2004. On January 31, 2002, 27 employees at the Stratford,
Ontario facility represented by the United Steelworkers of America were
permanently laid-off as the Company decided to discontinue manufacturing
operations at that location. The National Metal Workers' Union of Mexico
represents approximately 115 production employees in the Company's Mexican
facilities pursuant to collective bargaining agreements that expire on January
31, 2004. The Company has created the TB Wood's Institute, which offers training
programs to improve employees' operating, management and team-building skills.
Environmental Matters
As with most industrial companies, the Company's operations and properties are
required to comply with, and are subject to liability under federal, state,
local, and foreign laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to the use,
storage, handling, generation, treatment, emission, release, discharge, and
disposal of certain materials, substances, and wastes. The nature of the
Company's operations exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to
environmental matters and there can be no assurance that material costs will not
be incurred in connection with such liabilities or claims.
When the Company acquired the Mt. Pleasant Facility from Dana Corporation, the
Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 31, 1993 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement")
included an environmental indemnity provision. Pursuant to this provision, Dana
Corporation agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to any environmental
liabilities to the extent they arose out of environmental conditions first
occurring on or before the closing date, including the presence or release of
any hazardous substances at, in, or under the Mt. Pleasant Facility and with
respect to the identification of the Mt. Pleasant Facility on the Michigan list
of inactive hazardous waste sites. The Dana Corporation is conducting a limited
remediation with respect to volatile organic compounds found in soils and
groundwater. The Company has not been notified by the Michigan Department of
Natural Resources or any other governmental agency or person that it has any
responsibility for investigating or remediating such environmental conditions.
Although the Company has no reason to believe Dana Corporation cannot fulfill
its remediation and indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, if Dana Corporation is unable to fulfill such commitments, the
Company may incur additional costs.
The Company believes that its facilities are in substantial compliance with
current regulatory standards applicable to air emissions under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 ("CAAA"). At this time, the Company cannot estimate when
other new air standards will be imposed or what technologies or changes in
processes the Company may have to install or undertake to achieve compliance
with any applicable new requirements at its facilities. The Company has no
reason to believe that such expenditures are likely to be material. Similarly,
based upon the Company's experience to date, the Company believes that the
future cost of currently anticipated compliance with existing environmental laws
relating to wastewater, hazardous waste, and employee and community
right-to-know should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.
Geographical Information
See footnote 9 "Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial
statements for information on sales and long lived assets by geographical area.
Recent Developments
In November 2001 The Electron Corp., a partner in a joint venture for belted
drive products filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 (Reorganization) of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently in March of 2002 this filing was converted
into a filing under Chapter 7 (Liquidation) of the Code. In July 2002, the
Company purchased The Electron's Corp.'s interest in the joint venture from the
receiver that succeeded to that interest as a secured creditor. The Company did
not suffer any losses as a result of this event.

As part of the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce costs in the current business
environment, the Company closed its manufacturing operations located in
Stratford, Ontario, Canada, effective January 31, 2002, which affected 27
employees. The Company continues to maintain its distribution facility at that
location to service the Canadian marketplace. The Company recorded $275,000 of
restructuring charges, including severance, related to this closing during the
First Quarter of fiscal 2002.

Year Ended December 27, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 28, 2001
Net Sales for fiscal 2002 were $104.4 million compared to $108.8 million in
2001; a reduction of $4.4 million or 4.0%. The principal reason for this
reduction has been the length and severity of the US industrial slowdown. Based
on data received from industry trade associations, management believes its main
competitors have experienced similar reductions in sales. Mechanical Business
net sales for 2002 were $65.5 million, $4.6 million lower than net sales of
$70.1 million for 2001. The sales decline mainly occurred in the belted drive
product lines, driven by the general industrial slowdown. Electronic Business
net sales for 2002 were $38.9 million, a $0.2 million increase from net sales of
$38.7 million for 2001. The sales increase was the result of the target
marketing for the application specific OEM AC VFD product line.
Cost of sales ("COS") in 2002 were $71.2 million compared to $71.8 million for
2001. As a percent of sales, COS was 68.2% for 2002 an increase of 2.2
percentage points from 2001's COS of 66.0%. Gross profit for 2002 declined to
$33.1 million from $37.0 million in 2001, a reduction of $3.9 million or 10.5%.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 31.7% from 34.0% due
primarily to the lower absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses as a result of
the lower level of manufacturing operations caused by lower sales volume, a
reduction of inventory, closure of the Canadian manufacturing operations, and
start up of the new Mexican manufacturing operations.
As indicated earlier the Company closed its Canadian mechanical manufacturing
operations and transferred certain operations to its new Mexican plant during
the first quarter of 2002. As a result of the closure of its Canadian
manufacturing operations, restructuring charges related to severance and closure
costs in the amount of $0.3 million were recorded as a COS expense during the
first quarter of 2002. The Company has increased production at the new plant in
Mexico, but the costs associated with the start up have negatively impacted cost
of goods sold through the end of fiscal 2002. The Company believes that the
start up period for its new Mexican plant is completed and that productivity
levels for that plant will improve during 2003.
A continuing initiative of the Company during 2002 was the reduction of
inventory. The reduction realized during 2002 totaled $3.8 million. This
reduction came about by better matching of manufacturing operational levels to
customer demands and the reduction of manufacturing lead and operational times.
This was the second year of a program that will be ongoing as a result of which
the Company anticipates a further reduction of inventory during 2003.
9
Mechanical COS of $45.3 million for 2002 was $1.1 million lower than COS of
$46.4 million for 2001. As a percent of sales the 2002 Mechanical Business
reported COS of 69.1%, an increase of 2.9 percentage points from 66.2% for 2001.
The increased COS percentage of sales resulted from reduced fixed expense
absorption from lower sales volume, restructuring charges related to the closing
of the Canadian manufacturing operation, and costs of starting up manufacturing
operations in the new Mexican plant.
Electronics Business COS for 2002 was $25.9 million, a $0.6 million increase
from COS of $25.4 million for 2001. As a percent of sales 2002 versus 2001,
Electronics Business reported COS of 66.8% for 2002 up 1.3 percentage points
from 65.5% for 2001. The principal reasons for the higher COS percentage were
wage inflation and market pressure on pricing.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense for fiscal 2002 decreased
to $29.2 million from $31.0 million in 2001, a reduction of $1.8 million or
5.8%. SG&A expense as a percent of net sales decreased to 28.0% from 28.5%. The
major reasons for the change in absolute dollars were the reduced variable costs
caused by lower sales volume and lower headcount. The continuing challenge in
2003 will be the executing of tight control of discretionary expenses and head
count while continuing to work on new product development for projects that will
benefit the future.
Operating income after Minority Interest was $3.8 million for 2002 compared to
$4.9 million for 2001. As a percentage of sales operating income after Minority
Interest was 3.7% for 2002 and 4.5% for 2001. This reduction was primarily
caused by the lower sales volume leading to the decreased absorption of fixed
expenses from lower inventory and production levels, costs associated with
closing of the Canadian manufacturing operations and start up costs of the new
Mexican plant. Offsetting the above reductions was the cessation of the
Company's joint venture with The Electron Corp. as of the end of the first
quarter of 2002. This had the effect of eliminating Electron's participation in
the joint venture that in turn increased the Company's interest in the joint
venture operation. Additionally, effective December 29, 2001 (beginning of
fiscal 2002), in connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets", the
Company ceased the amortization of goodwill. During 2001 the Company recognized
$180 of goodwill amortization net of income tax.
Operating income after Minority Interest in fiscal 2002 and 2001 includes a
benefit of $0.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, from the amortization of
unrecognized prior service benefit and unrecognized net actuarial gain in the
Company's defined benefit postretirement medical plan. The higher benefit in
fiscal 2001 (above the $0.6 million benefit also recorded in fiscal 2002) was a
result of the following items: 1) The Company terminated the postretirement
medical plan benefits for all employees retiring subsequent to December 31, 2001
which resulted in a $0.5 million gain being realized in 2001 that did not
reoccur in 2002; 2) in 2001 the last year of amortization in the amount of $1
million of an actuarial gain resulted from a prior year plan change was
recorded; and 3) a small gain was recorded in 2001 as a result of revised
actuarial estimates as compared to prior years; however, there was no similar
gain during 2002.
Other expense for 2002 was $0.9 million, compared to other expense of $1.0
million for 2001. Interest expense, a component of other expenses, for the
Company was $0.9 million for 2002, which was lower than 2001 by $0.7 million.
The reduction in interest expense is consistent with the reduction of debt
levels during 2002 and lower interest rates. Included in Other Income for 2002
was a gain of $0.1 million from the sale of a plant in Greensboro, NC while 2001
included a gain of $0.6 million on the sale of the Elk Grove, IL warehouse.
The effective tax rate for 2002 was 38%, an increase from 25% in 2001. The
increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition during
2001 of a tax benefit related to revised estimates of the Company's income tax
liability and the realization during 2001 of certain state refunds of
approximately $0.5 million as well as certain tax credits. Additionally during
2002 a loss was realized in Mexico from the start up of the new factory for
which no income tax benefit was recognized. It is anticipated that this loss
will be carried forward and offset future income in Mexico at which point an
income tax benefit will be realized.
Income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the
impairment of goodwill was $1.8 million for 2002 or $0.34 per share, which was
$1.1 million lower than the $2.9 million for 2001. The principal reasons for the
reduction were reduced sales volume and lower fixed expense absorption.
As a result of the adoption of Statement on Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" the Company recognized an
impairment charge in the amount of $4.5 million ($2.8 million net of income
taxes) related to the goodwill associated with its North American Electronics
reporting unit during 2002. This charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of
accounting principle as described by SFAS 142. No similar charges were recorded
during 2001. As a result of the impairment charge for goodwill in 2002, the net
loss realized for 2002 was ($1.1) million or ($0.20) per share as compared to
net income for 2001 of $2.9 million or $0.54 per share.
10
Year Ended December 28, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 29, 2000
Net Sales for fiscal 2001 were $108.8 million compared to $134.4 million in
2000; a reduction of $25.6 million or 19.0%. The principal reason for this
reduction was the length and severity of the US industrial slowdown. Based on
data received from industry trade associations, management believes its main
competitors had similar reductions in sales.
Gross profit for 2001 declined to $37.0 million from $48.5 million in 2000, a
reduction of $11.5 million or 23.6%. Gross profit as a percent of net sales
decreased to 34.0% from 36.1% due primarily to the lower absorption of fixed
manufacturing expenses as a result of the lower level of manufacturing
operations caused by lower sales volume and a reduction of inventory. A major
initiative of the Company during 2001 was the reduction of inventory. The
reduction realized during 2001 totaled $8.4 million. This reduction came about
by better matching of manufacturing operational levels to customer demands and
reduction of manufacturing lead and operational times. This was the first year
of a program that will be ongoing.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense for fiscal 2001 decreased
to $31.0 million from $34.3 million in 2000, a reduction of $3.3 million or
9.6%. SG&A expense as a percent of net sales increased to 28.5% from 25.5%
because the Company was unable to reduce the fixed costs that are part of SG&A
expense. The major challenge in 2001 continued to be executing tight control of
discretionary expenses and head count while continuing to work on new product
development for projects that will benefit the future.
Operating income in fiscal 2001 and 2000 includes a benefit of $2.4 million and
$0.9 million, respectively, from the amortization of unrecognized prior service
benefit and unrecognized net actuarial gain in the Company's defined benefit
postretirement medical plan. The increased benefit in fiscal 2001 relates to
revised actuarial estimates for fiscal 2001. The Company also terminated
postretirement medical plan benefits for all employees retiring subsequent to
December 31, 2001. As a result of the curtailment of postretirement benefits,
the Company realized a gain in fiscal 2001 in the amount of $0.5 million.
Interest expense for fiscal 2001 of $1.6 million was lower than fiscal 2000 by
$1.4 million. This was due to the consistent reduction of debt levels during
2001and lower interest rates.
Other (expense), net for fiscal 2001 was a net of $0.6 million as compared to
$0.3 million for 2000, an improvement of $0.3 million. This was due primarily to
the gain of $.6 million on the selling of a warehouse in 2001.
The effective tax rate for 2001 was 25% down from 38% in 2000. The decrease in
the effective tax rate was primarily due to a tax benefit related to revised
estimates of the Company's income tax liability and the realization of certain
state refunds of approximately $0.5 million as well as certain tax credits.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial statements and
results of operations are based upon the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statement included as part of this document. The preparation of these
Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to
bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, post-retirement benefits, income
taxes, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases these estimates on
historical experiences 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 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
management's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
its Consolidated Financial Statements. For a detailed discussion on the
application of these and other accounting policies see Note 2 to the attached
Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of our accounting policies require
the application of significant judgement by management in selecting the
appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature,
these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual
results could differ from these estimates. These judgements are based on our
historical experience, terms of existing contracts, current economic trends in
the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available
from outside sources, as appropriate. Our critical accounting policies include:
11
Product Warranty: In the ordinary course of business, the Company warrants its
products against defect in design, materials and workmanship over various time
periods. Warranty reserve and allowance for product returns is established based
upon management's best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and
existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The warranty
reserve and allowance for product returns is immaterial to the financial
position of the Company for all periods presented and the change in the reserve
and allowance for each period is immaterial to the Company's results and cash
flow.
Inventory: Inventories are valued at the lower of market or cost. Cost is
determined on the last-in first-out basis for a majority of US inventories and
the first-in first-out method for all remaining inventories. The Company has
recorded a reserve for obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the
difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based
upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market
conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional
inventory write-downs may be required.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long Lived Assets: The Company periodically evaluates
the realizable value of long-lived assets including property, plant and
equipment, relying on a number of factors including operating results, budgets,
economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. The Company's past
business acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill, which may result
in future impairment expenses. The Company's other intangible assets which
primarily consist of product application software, affects the amount of future
period amortization expense. The determination of the value of such intangible
assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition: The Company's revenue recognition policies are in
compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements" issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Revenue
is recognized at the time product is shipped and title passes pursuant to the
terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is
fixed and collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The
Company establishes allowances to cover anticipated doubtful accounts, sales
discounts, product warranty, and returns based upon historical experience.
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included as a component of
net sales.
Postretirement Benefit Obligation: The Company in consultation with an actuarial
firm specializing in the valuation of postretirement benefit obligations selects
certain actuarial assumptions to base the actuarial valuation of such obligation
on such as the discount rate (interest rate used to determine present value of
obligations payable in the future), initial health care cost trend rate, the
ultimate cost care trend rate and mortality tables to determine the expected
future mortality of plan participants. To the extent that the actual rates and
mortality vary from the assumptions used to determine the present actuarial
valuation of these postretirement benefits, additional provision for expense may
be necessary.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company experienced a significant reduction in its working capital at
December 27, 2002 when compared to December 28, 2001. The reduction was due
primarily to the reclassification of the Company's unsecured United States
revolving credit facility in the amount of $18.1 million (the "Facility) as a
short-term liability because of its maturity date of October 2003, and to a
lesser extent because of the decreases of inventory and accounts receivable
offset by an increase in accrued expenses. The Company is currently in
negotiations with its banks to extend the term of this agreement. The Company
believes, based upon current information, that the Facility will be renewed for
an extended term, and as a result will again be classified as a long-term
liability in the future.
The Company's current ratio (defined as the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities) was 1.1 to 1 at December 27, 2002, a reduction from the current
ratio of 2.5 to 1 at December 28, 2001, again due primarily to the
reclassification of the Facility as a short-term liability. Had the Facility
been classified, as a long-term liability at December 27, 2002 the current ratio
would have been 2.2:1 compared to 2.5:1 at December 28, 2001 at which date the
Facility was classified as a long-term liability.
Total outstanding debt decreased by $4.8 million from $28.6 million at December
28, 2001 to $23.7 million at December 27, 2002. Debt consisted of the following
at December 28, 2002 and December 27, 2001.
(in millions) 2002 2001
---- ----
Facility $18.3 $23.2
Tax-exempt revenue bonds 5.3 5.3
Equipment loans 0.1 0.1
------------------------
Total debt $23.7 28.6
========================
12
At December 27, 2002 taking into consideration $6.0 million of outstanding
standby letters of credit, the Company had approximately $28.4 million of
available borrowing capacity under the Facility. The Company's annual interest
rate as of December 27, 2002 under the Facility was 2.83%. The standby letters
of credit are used to secure the $5.3 million tax-exempt revenue bonds
outstanding as of December 27, 2002 plus accrued interest and $0.2 million of
accrued liability under minimum premium workers' compensation insurance
policies.
The Company's principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the Company's Facility for up to $52.5 million. Cash provided
from operations in 2002 was $ 8.8 million, $12.8 million in 2001 and $13.8
million in 2000. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal years 2002,
2001, and 2000 was $3.6 million, $2.9 million, and $7.6 million, respectively.
The Company's investing activities in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were primarily for
capital expenditures. The Company's US revolving credit agreement, which matures
in October 2003, was amended during 2002 to provide additional flexibility under
certain of the financial covenants. Because the maturity date of the US
revolving credit agreement is October 2003, the classification of the debt
outstanding under this agreement has changed from long-term to short-term as of
October 31, 2002. The Company is currently in negotiations with its banks to
extend the term of this agreement.
Capital expenditures for fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000 were $3.5 million,
$4.1 million, and $7.7 million, respectively. During the last three years, the
Company's capital investments have been to support new product introductions,
improve product quality, reduce costs, and provide capacity for meeting growth
objectives. The amount of commitments for capital expenditures at December 27,
2002 was immaterial.
The Company paid $1.9 million in dividends during 2002, $1.9 million in 2001,
and $2.0 million in 2000. The Company declared a $0.09 dividend ($0.5 million)
on January 3, 2003 and paid it on January 31, 2003.
The Company believes that the combination of cash generated by operations,
available borrowing capacity and the Company's ability to obtain additional
long-term indebtedness is adequate to finance the Company's operations for the
foreseeable future.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 "Business
Combinations" that was effective July 2001, and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal year
2002. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be
amortized. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
an indefinite life, the statement requires an annual test for impairment, or
immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. The
Company adopted this statement effective December 29, 2001 (beginning of Fiscal
2002). As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the Company will no longer record
goodwill amortization of approximately $226 ($177 after income tax) per year.
The following table provides the comparable effects of adoption of SFAS 142 for
2002 and 2001
(in thousands, except per share data) 2002 2001
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reported Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.............. $1,796 $2,906
Add Back: Goodwill amortization (net of tax)............................................ -- 180
------------------------------
Pro Forma Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle............ $1,796 $3,086
==============================
Basic and Diluted Income Per Share:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reported Income per share before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.. $0.34 $0.54
Add back: Goodwill amortization (net of tax) per share.................................. -- 0.03
------------------------------
Pro Forma income per share before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle... $0.34 $0.57
==============================
Using the fair value approach, the Company performed the first annual impairment
tests required by SFAS No. 142. Based upon results of the first phase of these
tests, it appeared that goodwill related to the Company's North American
Electronics reporting unit may be impaired. As a result the second phase of the
tests required by SFAS No. 142 on a fair value approach for the North American
Electronics reporting unit was performed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, once
an indication of possible impairment is evident at a reporting unit, the amount
13
of goodwill impairment is determined based upon what the balance of goodwill
would have been if the purchase accounting method prescribed by SFAS No. 141
were applied at the date of impairment. Under SFAS No. 142, if the carrying
amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized
in an amount equal to that excess. Once the impairment loss is recognized, the
adjusted carrying amount of the goodwill will be its new accounting basis. This
second phase of the impairment evaluation determined that impairment had
occurred, as a result of which an impairment loss of $4,453 ($2,846 net of
income taxes), was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 as prescribed by SFAS No. 142.
In June 2001 FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted
this statement effective December 28, 2002 (beginning of the Company's fiscal
2003). The Company does not believe that implementation of this SFAS will have a
material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2001, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," which
supercedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS No.
121 regarding when and how to measure impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides
additional implementation guidance. SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to
be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of
lessees; assets subject to operating leases of lessors; and prepaid assets. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company's adoption of this SFAS during fiscal 2002 has not had a material impact
on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2002, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 145 "Rescission
of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No 13, and
Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds previous accounting guidance,
which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be
classified as an extraordinary item. Under SFAS No. 145 classification of debt
extinguishment depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The
Company's does not expect this SFAS to have a material impact upon the
Consolidated Financial Statements upon its adoption during fiscal 2003.
In July 2002, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No.146 "Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and 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)." This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of this SFAS during fiscal 2003 will
have a material impact upon the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2002 FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 148
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123
as amended by SFAS No. 148 to account for options granted under its 1996 Stock
Based Incentive Compensation Plan. The Company is evaluating the transition
methods allowed under this statement. Accordingly the Company cannot determine
the impact of adoption of this statement at this time.
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain information included or incorporated by reference in this document may
be deemed to be "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or
developments that the Company intends, expects, projects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. Such
statements are characterized by terminology such as "believe," "anticipate,"
"should," "intend," "plan," "will," "expects," "estimates," "projects,"
"positioned," "strategy," and similar expressions. These statements are based on
assumptions and assessments made by the Company's management in light of its
experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These
forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to continuation of the Company's longstanding
relationships with major customers, the Company's ability to integrate acquired
businesses into its operations and realize planned synergies, the extent to
which acquired businesses are able to meet the Company's expectations and
operate profitably, ability to obtain financing, changes in regulations that
could affect demand for products, and unanticipated developments that could
occur with respect to contingencies such as environmental matters and
litigation. In addition the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that
affect the manufacturing sector generally, including, but not limited to,
economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the
14
Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. Any such forward
looking statements are not guarantees of future performances and actual results,
developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by such
forward looking statements. The Company disclaims any duty to update any
forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the
foregoing.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the potential change in an instrument's value caused, for
example, by fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates. The Company's
primary market risk exposures are interest rate and unfavorable movements in
exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the Mexican peso, Canadian
dollar, Euro, and Indian rupee. Monitoring and managing these risks is a
continual process carried out by senior management. Market risk is managed based
on an ongoing assessment of trends in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
and economic developments, giving consideration to possible effects on both
total return and reported earnings. The Company's financial advisors, both
internal and external, provide ongoing advice regarding trends that affect
management's assessment.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The Company has operations in several foreign countries, and approximately $23.7
million of the Company's revenue from continuing operations was derived from the
Company's operations outside the United States. Accordingly, exposure exists to
potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rates. The Company does not
use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the risk of change in foreign
currency exchange rates.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars
and accordingly, changes in the exchange rates between Company subsidiaries'
local currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of such
subsidiaries financial results into U.S. dollars for the purposes of reporting
the consolidated financial results. The Company does not hedge these matters
because cash flows from international operations are generally re-invested
locally. It is estimated that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would
impact report net earnings (loss) by approximately $33,000.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The effective interest rate payable on the Company's Facility is influenced by
the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank Board in establishing from time to time
the Federal Funds Interest Rate which is the rate banks borrow from the Federal
Reserve Bank. During 2002 and 2001 the Federal Reserve implemented a number of
reductions in the Federal Funds Interest Rate in an effort to stimulate the U.S.
economy. As a result the effective interest rate that the Company paid on its
borrowings under the Facility declined leading to a corresponding reduction in
interest expense. To the extent that the Federal Reserve increases the Federal
Funds Interest Rate in the future, the effective interest rate on the Company's
Facility will increase. The Company's interest expense will increase accordingly
if borrowing levels remain constant. Based on the balance outstanding under our
Facility at year-end, a 1% change in the effective interest rate would have
changed interest expense by $181,000.

REPORT OF CERTIFIED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of TB Wood's Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of TB Wood's Corporation and
subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 27, 2002 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated
financial statements of TB Wood's Corporation as of December 28, 2001 and for
the two years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased
operations. These auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements in their report dated February 8, 2002.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2002 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TB Wood's
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2002, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of TB Wood's
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 28, 2001 and for the two years then
ended were audited by other auditors, who have ceased operation. As described in
Note 2, these consolidated financial statements have been revised to include
transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was adopted by the Company
as of December 29, 2001 (beginning of 52/53 week fiscal year ending December 27,
2002). Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 2 with
respect to fiscal 2001 and 2000 included (a) agreeing the previously reported
net income to the previously issued consolidated financial statements and the
adjustments to reported net income representing amortization expense (including
any related income tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill,
intangible assets that are no longer being amortized, deferred credits related
to an excess over cost, equity method goodwill, and changes in amortization
periods for intangible assets that continue to be amortized as a result of
initially applying SFAS No. 142 (including related income tax effects) to the
Company's underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing the
mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported
net income, and the related earnings-per-share amounts. In our opinion, the
disclosures for fiscal 2001 and 2000 in Note 2 are appropriate. However, we were
not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the fiscal 2001 and
2000 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to
such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other
forms of assurance on the fiscal 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements
as a whole.
We have also audited schedule II for the year ended December 27, 2002. In our
opinion, this schedule when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To TB Wood's Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TB Wood's
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 28, 2001
and December 29, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 28, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of TB Wood's Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended December 28, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of valuation and qualifying
accounts listed in Item 14(a) (2) of this Form 10-K is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

TB Wood's Corporation And Subsidiaries
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation
TB Wood's Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, "Wood's" or the "Company")
is an established designer, manufacturer, and marketer of electronic and
mechanical industrial power transmission products which are sold to
distributors, domestic and international manufacturers, and users of industrial
equipment. Principal products of the Company include electronic drives,
integrated electronic drive systems, mechanical belted drives, and flexible
couplings. The Company has operations throughout the United States, Canada,
Mexico, Germany, Italy and India. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of TB Wood's Corporation, its wholly owned
subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint ventures. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Year-End
The Company's 52/53-week fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to the last day
of December. The Company's fiscal year ends were as follows:
2002...........................December 27, 2002
2001...........................December 28, 2001
2000...........................December 29, 2000
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Product Warranty
In the ordinary course of business, the Company warrants its products against
defect in design, materials, and workmanship over various time periods. Warranty
reserve and allowance for product returns is established based upon management's
best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on
products sold as of the balance sheet date. The warranty reserve and allowance
for product returns is immaterial to the financial position of the Company for
all periods presented and the change in reserve and allowance for each period is
immaterial to the Company's results and cash flow.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market primarily using the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Market is defined as net realizable value.
Cost includes raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
Approximately 66% and 72% of total inventories at December 27, 2002 and December
28, 2001, respectively, were valued using the LIFO method. In 2001, the Company
changed its method for determining LIFO values from the double-extension method
to the link-chain method. This change did not have a material impact upon the
financial statements. Due to the decline in inventories valued using the LIFO
method, the LIFO reserve decreased $278 and $451 during the years ended December
27, 2002 and December 28, 2001 respectively, which reduced the Cost of Goods
Sold by the same amount. Inventories for foreign operations are stated at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the
estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
23
Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company depreciates its property, plant, and equipment principally using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment
under capital leases is depreciated over the asset's estimated useful life and
is included in machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged
to expense as incurred, while major renewals and improvements are capitalized.
When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related
carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. The depreciable lives of the
major classes of property, plant and equipment are summarized as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Type Lives
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Machinery and equipment 3 - 15 years
Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the expected future net cash
flows generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value.
Post Retirement Benefits Obligation
The Company in consultation with an actuarial firm specializing in the valuation
of postretirement benefit obligations selects certain actuarial assumptions to
base the actuarial valuation of such obligation on, such as the discount rate
(interest rate used to determine present value of obligations payable in the
future), initial health care cost trend rate, the ultimate cost care trend rate
and mortality tables to determine the expected future mortality of plan
participants. To the extent that the actual rates and mortality vary from the
assumptions used to determine the present actuarial valuation of these
postretirement benefits, additional provision for expense may be necessary.
Stock Based Compensation
For fiscal 2002 and prior years the Company used the intrinsic value method as
defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 to account for stock-based
employee compensation in each period presented. The Company intends to adopt
SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148 during fiscal 2003 but has not yet made
a determination as to the transition method to use or completed the valuation of
the options granted during January 2003.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share had compensation costs for the stock-based compensation plan
been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, for the fiscal years:
2002 2001 2000

Less: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair
value-based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (157) (36) (42)
---------------------------------------

=======================================
Net (loss) income per share - basic
As reported $(0.20) $0.55 $1.12

Net (loss) income per share - diluted
As reported $(0.20) $0.54 $1.12
Pro forma $(0.23) $0.54 $1.12
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Revenue is recognized at the time
product is shipped and title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with
the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed and collectibility of
the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company establishes allowances
to cover anticipated doubtful accounts, sales discounts, product warranty, and
returns based upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs charged to
customers are included as a component of net sales.
24
Self-Insurance
For a portion of fiscal 2000 and prior fiscal years the Company's workers'
compensation insurance policies had the potential for retrospective premium
adjustments. In fiscal 2000 the Company changed to a fully insured workers'
compensation insurance type of policy. For fiscal 2001 and prior years the
Company maintained a partially self-insured group health insurance policy that
is subject to specific retention levels. During fiscal 2002 the Company changed
to a fully insured group health insurance policy. Insurance administrators
assist the Company in estimating the fully developed workers' compensation
liability and group health insurance reserves that are accrued by the Company.
In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for all incurred
claims. At December 27, 2002, the Company's bank had issued letters of credit
totaling $577 to cover incurred but unpaid claims and other costs related to its
workers' compensation liability.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation."
Translation adjustments, which result from the process of translating financial
statements into U.S. dollars, are accumulated as a separate component of other
comprehensive income. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions, primarily intercompany sales of products, are included in other
expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
Goodwill
For fiscal 2001 and prior years the excess of cost over the net assets acquired
("Goodwill") was amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years.
Goodwill amortization before income taxes for 2001 and 2000 was $226 and $259
respectively.
Effective at the beginning of its fiscal year 2002 the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" which requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite life will no longer be amortized but will be subject to an annual
impairment test. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the Company will no
longer record goodwill amortization of approximately $226 ($180 after income
tax) per year.
The following table provides the comparable effects of the adoption of SFAS No.
142 for the fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company performed its first annual
impairment tests that indicated impairment of goodwill of the North American
Electronics reporting unit. As a result the second phase of the tests required
by SFAS No. 142 on a fair value approach for the North American Electronics
reporting unit was performed. This second phase of the impairment evaluation
determined that impairment had occurred, as a result of which an impairment loss
of $4,453 ($2,846 net of income taxes), was recognized as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of fiscal 2002 as
prescribed by SFAS No. 142.

Shareholders' Equity
Since 1996, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up to
a total of 500,000 of the Company's common shares subject to certain business
and market conditions. As of December 27, 2002 the number of treasury shares
purchased under this authorization was 497,936 excluding shares issued to
employees. This total includes 150,003 shares accepted on August 3, 2001 at
$11.00 per share plus related costs under the self-tender offer authorized by
the Board of Directors in 2001 and 50,000 shares purchased on September 7, 2001
at $11.00 per share that were retired. In addition in 1999, the Board of
Directors authorized a self-tender offer for the Company's common shares under
which on December 17, 1999, the Company accepted 400,000 shares at $9.00 per
share plus related costs. During 2002, the Company transferred 10,310 shares of
treasury stock to the employees stock purchase plan and 11,112 to the 401(k)
profit-sharing plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or
liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable, approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity of
the instruments. The fair value of short-term and long-term debt amounts
approximate carrying value and are based on their effective interest rates
compared to current market rates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development Cost
Research and development costs consist substantially of projects related to new
product development within the electronics business and are expensed as
incurred. Total research and development costs were $2,879 in 2002, $3,077 in
2001, and $3,108 in 2000.
Major Customers
The Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 40%, 36%, and
31% of net sales for fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. Of these
customers, one accounted for close to 25% of net sales for the year ended
December 27, 2002. The loss of one or more of these customers would have an
adverse effect on the Company's performance and operations. Foreign and export
sales accounted for 25%, 23% and 25% of total sales in fiscal years 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively.
Net Income Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing reported earnings
available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding. No
dilution for any potentially dilutive securities is included in basic EPS.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common
shareholders by weighted average shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding.
26
The computation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows for fiscal
years 2002, 2001, and 2000:
2002 2001 2000
----- ---- ----
Common shares outstanding for basic EPS 5,232 5,332 5,468
Shares issued upon assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options -- 23 5
-----------------------------------------------
Weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 5,232 5,355 5,473
===============================================
Options outstanding for 783,000, 676,250 and 623,100 shares for fiscal 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of weighted
average shares outstanding because they are anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 "Business
Combinations" that was effective July 2001 which requires that all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the
purchase method. The Company has made no acquisitions since the effective date
of this statement. Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" effective for the Company at the beginning of its
fiscal year 2002. The effect of adopting this accounting standard is detailed in
the "Goodwill section above.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The Company intends to adopt this statement effective
December 28, 2002 (beginning of the Company's fiscal 2003). The Company does not
believe that implementation of this SFAS will have a material impact on its
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," which
supercedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS No.
121 regarding when and how to measure impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides
additional implementation guidance. SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to
be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of
lessees; assets subject to operating leases of lessors; and prepaid assets. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company's adoption of this SFAS during fiscal 2002 has not had a material impact
on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 145
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No
13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds previous accounting
guidance, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be
classified as an extraordinary item. Under SFAS No. 145 classification of debt
extinguishment depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The
Company's does not expect this SFAS to have a material impact upon the
Consolidated Financial Statements upon its adoption during fiscal 2003.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 146
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the costs associated with exit
or disposal activities and 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)." This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of this SFAS during fiscal 2003 will
have a material impact upon the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 148
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure," an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123
as amended by SFAS No. 148 to account for options granted under its 1996 Stock
Based Incentive Compensation Plan during fiscal 2003. The Company is evaluating
the transition methods allowed under this standard. Accordingly the Company
cannot determine the impact of adoption of this SFAS at this time.

==================
The Company has a $52,500 unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank,
N.A. For a portion of 2001 $10,000 of the total was payable in German
deutschemarks. During 2001, the Company converted the German deutschemark
portion into a US dollar denominated amount. In addition to the $18,100 actually
borrowed under this facility at December 27, 2002, there were letters of credit
outstanding in the amount of $5,995 primarily to secure the Company's industrial
revenue bonds. The amount available at December 27, 2002 was $28,455. The
revolving credit bears a variable interest of LIBOR at December 27, 2002 plus
1.375%, and matures in October 2003. The average rate of the revolving debt at
December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001 was 2.83% and 3.23% respectively. The
credit facility contains numerous restrictive financial covenants which require
the Company to comply with certain financial tests including, among other
things, maintaining minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and maintaining
certain specified ratios. The credit facility also contains other restrictive
covenants that include, among other things, restrictions on outside investments
and restrictions on capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with
amended debt covenants as of the end of its fiscal year.
In addition to the above facility, one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries has
an unsecured revolving credit facility denominated in Euro's that translates
into $193 at December 27, 2002, maturing in 2003. The rate for this facility was
3.8% at December 27, 2002.
The gross proceeds from (repayments of) the revolving credit facilities are as
follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 2001 2000
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceeds from revolving credit facilities $ 38,900 $ 42,717 $ 45,227
Repayments of revolving credit facilities (43,300) (47,861) (47,717)
--------------------------------------------------------
$(4,400) $(5,144) $(2,490)
========================================================

In August 1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that
effectively converted $10,000 of the underlying variable rate debt in the
unsecured PNC revolving credit facility to fixed rate debt. The notional
principal amount of the swap agreement is $10,000 with an effective fixed rate
of 5.75%. The swap agreement was settled each month and expired in July 2001.
The Company did not renew or reestablish a similar interest swap agreement.
In April 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $2.3 million by issuing
Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds under the authority of the Industrial Revenue
Board of the City of Chattanooga, bearing variable interest as set by the
Industrial Revenue Board of the City of Chattanooga (1.7% at December 27, 2002)
maturing April 2022. The bonds were issued to finance a new production facility
for the electronics systems business.
In February 1999, the Company borrowed approximately $3.0 million by issuing
Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds under the authority of the Industrial
Development Corporation City of San Marcos, bearing variable interest as set by
the Industrial Development Corporation City of San Marcos (1.7% at December 27,
2002), maturing April 2024. The bonds were issued to finance a new production
facility for the mechanical division.

Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period
are determined by applying the current tax rate to temporary difference between
the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The components of deferred income taxes at December 27, 2002 and December 28,
2001 are as follows:
2002 2001

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes on income before cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle at the statutory federal income tax
rate to the Company's tax provision as reported in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations is shown below:
2002 2001 2000
--------------------------------------------------------
Federal statutory income tax $ 1,022 $1,318 $3,347

Foreign taxes and other, net 242 (133) 258
--------------------------------------------------------
$1,120 $971 $3,767
========================================================
29
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2001 includes a tax benefit related to
revised estimates of the Company's income tax liability and the realization of
certain state income tax refunds of approximately $519 as well as certain income
tax credits.
In 2002, 2001, and 2000 earnings before income taxes included $(206), $1,151,
and $3,096, respectively, of losses or earnings generated by the Company's
foreign operations. No federal or state income taxes benefit or provision has
been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain of these foreign
operations, as the earnings will continue to be reinvested. It is not practical
to estimate the additional income taxes, including any foreign withholding taxes
that might be payable with the eventual remittance of such earnings.
6. Benefit Plan
Compensation Plans
The Company maintains a discretionary compensation plan for its salaried and
hourly employees, which provides for incentive awards based on certain levels of
earnings, as defined. Amounts awarded under the plan and charged to expense in
the accompanying statements of operations were $0, $0, and $759 for fiscal years
2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively.
Profit-Sharing Plans
Since January 1, 1988, the Company has maintained a separate defined
contribution 401(k) profit-sharing plan covering substantially all United States
employees. Under this plan, the Company matches a specified percentage of each
eligible employee's contribution and 50% of the match is invested in funds
designated by the employee. The Company suspended the matching portion of this
plan from March 1, 2002 until July 31, 2002. The Company contributed 11,112
shares of common stock held in treasury in 2002, 23,630 shares in 2001, and
33,587 shares in 2000. The Company also contributed cash to this profit-sharing
plan of approximately $230, $570, and $452 for fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000
respectively. In addition, the Company has a noncontributory profit-sharing plan
covering its Canadian employees for which $55, $70, and $12 was charged to
expense for fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") enables employees of the
Company to subscribe for shares of common stock on quarterly offering dates, at
a purchase price which is the lesser of 85% effective September 2001 or 90% for
prior periods of the fair value of the shares on the first or last day of the
quarterly period. Employee contributions to the ESPP were $61, $78, and $103 for
2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. Pursuant to the ESPP, 10,310 shares were
issued to employees during 2002, 12,194 during 2001, and 13,324 during 2000. At
the annual meeting on April 11, 1997, the Company's shareholders approved the
reservation of 500,000 shares to be issued under the ESPP. As of December 27,
2002, 438,505 shares are available for future issuance.
Stock Options
The Company has a 1996 stock-based incentive compensation plan (the "1996
Plan"), the purpose of which is to assist the Company in attracting and
retaining valued personnel by offering them a greater stake in the Company's
success and a closer identity with the Company, and to encourage ownership of
the Company's common stock by such personnel.
The 1996 Plan is administered by a committee (the "Committee") designated by the
board of directors. Awards under the 1996 Plan may be made to all officers and
key employees of the Company. No awards can be made under the 1996 Plan after
January 31, 2006.
The Committee may grant stock options and shares of common stock in the form of
either deferred stock or restricted stock, as defined in the 1996 Plan. Options
granted under the 1996 Plan may be either incentive stock options ("ISOs") or
nonqualified stock options. ISOs are intended to qualify as incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Unless
an option is specifically designated at the time of grant as an ISO, options
under the 1996 Plan will be nonqualified. The Committee will determine the
exercise price of the options. The maximum term of an option or Stock
Appreciation Right ("SAR") granted under the 1996 Plan shall not exceed ten
years from the date of grant or five years from the date of grant if the
recipient on the date of grant owns, directly or indirectly, shares possessing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company. No option or SAR may be exercisable sooner than six months from the
date the option or SAR is granted.

=========== ===========
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the
Company continues to measure compensation cost for those plans using the method
of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued To Employees." Under this opinion the Company did
not recognize any compensation expense from such grants because the exercise
price of the options equaled or exceeded the market price on the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123 does, however, require the disclosure of pro forma net income and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting had been
applied.
The Company has calculated the fair value of its stock-based compensation plan
under SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2001, and 2000:
2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----
Risk free interest rate 5.0% 5.0% 5.6%
Expected lives 5 & 10 years 5 & 10 years 5 &10 years
Expected volatility 27.3% 9.5% 9.5%
Dividend yield 5.1% 5.2% 4.9%
The fair value of options granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000 using the Black-Scholes
method was $153, $24, and $57, respectively net of tax, which would be
recognized as expense over the vesting period of the options.
Postretirement Benefits
The Company sponsors an unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical plan
that provides coverage for retirees and their dependents. A portion of the plan
is paid for by retiree cost sharing. The accounting for the plan anticipates
future cost sharing increases to keep pace with health care inflation.
In fiscal 2001 the Company terminated post retirement medical plan benefits for
all employees retiring subsequent to December 31, 2001. While employees retiring
after December 31, 2001 will be allowed to participate in the insured medical
plan, these employees will pay 102% of the cost of the monthly insurance premium
to the Company for such class of employees. As a result of the curtailment of
31
these postretirement plan benefits, the Company realized a gain in 2001 in the
amount of $482. During fiscal 2001, the Company also recorded a reduction in the
postretirement benefit obligation of $788 as a result of revised actuarial
estimates.
The following table summarizes the Company's postretirement benefit obligations
and the assumptions used in determining postretirement benefit cost:
2002 2001
----------------------------------
Benefit obligation at beginning of year $12,167 $14,833
Service cost 4 203
Interest cost 182 342
Amortization (752) (2,419)
Retiree benefits (294) (310)
Curtailment of plan benefits - (482)
----------------------------------
Benefit obligation at end of year $11,307 $12,167
==================================
Accrued Benefit Obligation
Accumulated Benefit Obligation $2,805 $2,649
Unrecognized Prior Service Benefit 2,557 2,790
Unrecognized Actuarial Net Gain 5,945 6,728
----------------------------------
$11,307 $12,167
==================================
Discount rate 6.50% 7.25%
Initial health care cost trend 5.50% 5.75%
Ultimate health care cost trend rate 5.00% 5.00%
Year ultimate health care cost trend rate reached 2004 2004
Net periodic postretirement benefit includes the following components:
2002 2001 2000
---------------------------------------------------
Service cost $ 4 $ 203 $127
Interest cost 182 342 315
Amortization (752) (2,419) (886)
Curtailment of plan benefits 0 (482) 0
---------------------------------------------------
Net benefit $(566) $(2,356) $(444)
===================================================
A one percent increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would increase
the aggregate of the service and interest components of the net benefit for the
year ended December 27, 2002 by $15 and the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of that date by $251. A one percent decrease in the assumed health
care cost trend rate would decrease the aggregate of the service and interest
components of the net benefit for the year ended December 27, 2002 by $13 and
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of that date by $219.
7. Commitments And Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. In management's opinion, the ultimate resolution of these
actions will not materially affect the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
Capital Expenditure Commitments
The amount of commitments for capital expenditures at December 27, 2002 was
immaterial.
Environmental Risks
The Company's operations and properties are subject to federal, state, and local
laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to certain materials, substances, and
wastes. The nature of the Company's operations exposes it to the risk of claims
with respect to environmental matters. Based on the Company's experience to
date, management believes that the future cost of compliance with existing
environmental requirements will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial position.
32
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases warehouse and office space, office equipment, and other items

8. Joint Ventures
In July 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with The
Electron Corp. ("Electron") to manufacture, machine, market, distribute, and
engineer belted drive components and such other products having similar uses
which may be developed by the Company or Electron in the future. The Company
since the formation of the joint venture held controlling interest and, as such,
has consolidated the joint venture.
In November 2001 Electron filed for reorganization under Chapter 11
(Reorganization) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently in March of 2002 this
filing was converted into a filing under Chapter 7 (Liquidation) of the Code. In
July 2002, the Company purchased Electron's interest in the joint venture from a
bank that succeeded to that interest as a secured creditor. Following the
purchase of Electron's interest, the joint venture dissolved and the Company
succeeded to their business and assets. The Company did not suffer any losses as
a result of this event nor did it have a material impact upon the business.
Operating income attributed to the joint venture with Electron for the year
ending December 27, 2002 and from its inception through the year ending December
27, 2002 was $691 and $15,282, respectively. Electron's share of these amounts
was $162 and $3,504, respectively. During 2002 and 2001 distributions were made
to Electron in the amounts of $28 and $376, respectively.
9. Business Segment Information
Description of the Types of Products from which each Segment Derives its
Revenues
The Company is engaged principally in the design, manufacture, and sale of
industrial power transmission products. The products manufactured by the Company
are classified into two segments, mechanical business and electronics business.
The mechanical business segment includes belted drives, couplings, gear motors
and gearboxes. The electronics business segment includes electronic drives and
electric drive systems. Products of these segments are sold to distributors,
original equipment manufacturers, and end users for manufacturing and commercial
applications.
Measurement of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or
loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. Inter-segment sales are not material.
Factors Management Used to Identify the Company's Reportable Segments
The Company's reportable segments are business units that manufacture and market
separate and distinct products and are managed separately because each business
requires different processes, technologies, and market strategies.
The following table summarizes revenues, operating income, total assets and
expenditures for long-lived assets by business segment for fiscal years 2002,
2001, and 2000:

The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer
evaluated the Company's disclosure and internal controls as of the end of the
quarter and year ended December 27, 2002. This evaluation determined that the
disclosure controls and procedures in place at the Company ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to the Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers by others
within the entities for the period ended December 27, 2002 to ensure disclosure
on a timely basis in conformance with applicable rules and regulations. It

certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Further there were no
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company's internal
controls which would have adversely affected the Company's ability to record,
process, summarize or report financial data. No material weaknesses in internal
controls were identified or reported to the registrant's auditors nor was there
any fraud that involved management or other employees who have a significant
role in the Company's internal controls.
