3. Senior Credit Facility

On February 10, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan
and Security Agreement to increase its borrowing capacity. Proceeds from the
Loan and Security Agreement were used to repay and retire all amounts
outstanding under the prior Bank Credit Agreement. The Loan and Security
Agreement includes three term loans, Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan C,
having original principal amounts of $7,500,000, $2,500,000 and $15,000,000,
respectively. The Loan and Security Agreement also includes a revolver loan with
a commitment amount of $27,500,000 subject to borrowing base and other
restrictions, as well as restrictions under the Company's Indenture. Term Loan A
and Term Loan B will require monthly principal payments of $104,000 and $63,000,
respectively beginning May 2003. Term C does not require current principal
repayments and is due in full on February 10, 2006. The Company's assets are
pledged under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and
Security Agreement has a maturity date of February 10, 2008. Term Loan A will
accrue interest at the prime rate set by Wells Fargo's principal office ("Prime
Rate") plus a margin determined by a pricing grid. Term Loan B will accrue
interest at the Prime Rate plus 3.00% per annum. Term Loan C will accrue
interest at the Prime Rate plus 4.75% per annum. The revolver loan will accrue
interest at the Prime Rate plus 1.00% per annum.

Upon refinancing remaining financing costs related to the prior Bank Credit
Agreement of $488,000 were expensed.

The direct and non-direct, non-guarantor subsidiaries, in terms of assets,
equity, income, and cash flows, on an individual and combined basis are
inconsequential.

Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented because
management has determined that these would not be material to investors.

5. Contingencies

The Company has claims against others, and there are claims by others
against it, in a variety of matters arising out of the conduct of the Company's
business. The ultimate resolution of all such claims would not, in the opinion
of management, have a material effect on the Company's financial position, cash
flows or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

Net Sales - Engineering Services Segment: Net sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $7.9 million, or 55.1%, to $6.4 million from $14.3
million for the corresponding period in 2002 due to the decrease in size and
number of projects in process. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003 the
Engineering Services Segment had no projects with sales over $1.0 million,
compared to three such projects with sales totaling $8.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002. Sales of projects under $0.5 million also decreased $0.7
million. These decreases were partially offset with increases in projects
between $0.5 million and $1.0 million. The Engineering Services Segment had four
projects with sales between $0.5 million and $1.0 million totaling $3.1 million
for the first quarter of 2003, compared to three such projects totaling $2.1
million during the same period ended 2002.

Net Sales - Manufactured Products Segment: Net sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $1.9 million, or 7.9%, to $22.0 million from $23.9
million for the corresponding period in 2002 primarily due to decreased sales of
mining equipment, partially offset with increased fastener sales.

Gross Profit - Engineering Services Segment: Gross profit for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 decreased $1.0 million, or 44.8%, to $1.2 million from $2.2
million in the corresponding period in 2002, primarily due to the decreased
sales level. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit increased to 18.9%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 15.4% for the corresponding period in
2002 due to lower margins earned on larger engineering services projects in
2002.

Gross Profit - Manufactured Products Segment: Gross profit for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $0.2 million, or 3.0%, to $6.0 million from $6.2
million in the corresponding period in 2002 due to the lower sales level. As a
percentage of net sales, the gross profit increased to 27.1% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 from 25.7% for the corresponding period in 2002. The
increase was primarily due to higher margins earned from screen and screen cloth
sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 of
$6.0 million approximated the corresponding period in 2002 with the write-off of
remaining financing expenses related to the retired credit facility offset with
decreased employee related expenses.

Interest Income: Interest income of the Company for the quarter ended March
31, 2003 of $0.2 million approximated the corresponding period in 2002.

Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 of $2.6 million increased $0.3 million or 10.1% from $2.3 million
for the corresponding period in 2002. The increase was due to a higher debt
level.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes: Benefit for income taxes of the
Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 of $0.5 million decreased $0.6
million from the provision of $0.1 million for the corresponding quarter ended
March 31, 2002 due to the lower income level. The effective tax rate for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003 of 37.7% decreased from 64.8% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 due to foreign tax expense incurred in 2002.

Net (Loss) Income: The Company recorded a net loss of $0.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to net income of $0.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002. The decrease was due to the reasons discussed
above.

11



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
2003 of $1.0 million was used by decreased accounts payable, increased prepaid
expenses and other assets and increased inventories partially offset with cash
generated from net loss adjusted for non-cash charges, decreased accounts
receivable and increased accrued expenses. Included in non-cash charges for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003 was depreciation of $0.8 million and other non-cash
charges of $0.7 million, partially offset with pension overfunding income of
$0.3 million. Cash flows from operations for any specific period are often
materially affected by the timing and amounts of cash receipts and cash
disbursements related to engineering services projects.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003
of $0.1 million consisted of capital expenditures resulting from the Company's
regular practice of upgrading and maintaining its equipment base and facilities.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2003 of $1.1 million consisted of the issuance of $25.0 million of long-term
debt, partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt of $22.1 million and
debt issuance costs of $1.8 million.

On February 10, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and
Security Agreement to increase its borrowing capacity. Proceeds from the new
credit facility were used to repay and retire all amounts outstanding under the
existing Senior Credit Facility. The new Loan and Security Agreement includes
three term loans, Term Loan A, Term Loan, B and Term Loan C, having original
principal amounts of $7,500,000, $2,500,000 and $15,000,000, respectively. The
new Loan and Security Agreement also includes a revolver loan with a commitment
amount of $27,500,000 subject to borrowing base and other restrictions, as well
as restrictions under the Company's Indenture. Term Loan A will require monthly
principal payments of $0.1 million beginning May 2003. Term Loan B will require
monthly principal payments of $0.1 million beginning in May 2003. Term Loan C
does not require current principal repayments. The Company's assets are pledged
under the terms of the new Loan and Security Agreement.

The Company's liquidity requirements, both long term (over one year) and
short term, are for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. The
primary source for meeting these needs has been funds provided by operations and
funds available under the Loan and Security Agreement. The Company anticipates
with improved operating results that funds provided by future operations and
available credit will be sufficient to meet its anticipated debt service
requirements, working capital needs and capital expenditures.

Backlog

The Company's backlog consists primarily of that portion of engineering
services contracts that have been awarded but not performed and also includes
open manufacturing orders. Backlog at March 31, 2003 was $35.2 million.
Approximately $11.5 million relates to the Manufactured Products Segment, with
the remainder of $23.7 million relating to the Engineering Services Segment. A
substantial majority of current backlog is expected to be realized in the next
twelve months.

Safe Harbor

Statements herein regarding the Company's ability to meet its liquidity
requirements, and the Company's expected realization of current backlog
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Act of 1934. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Further, statements herein regarding the Company's
performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to, deterioration of
relationships with, or the loss of material customers or suppliers, possible
product liability claims, decreases in demand for the Company's products,
adverse changes in general market and industry

12



conditions and any resulting inability to comply with the financial covenants
imposed by the Company's credit agreement. Management believes these
forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be
placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current
expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company continues to use its United States reputation to generate sales
in international markets. In the three months ended March 31, 2003 approximately
7% of the Company's net sales were attributable to services provided or products
sold for use outside the United States, primarily to Australia. A portion of
these net sales and cost of sales is derived from international operations which
are conducted in foreign currencies. Changes in the value of these foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition, results of operation and debt service capability.
The majority of the Company's foreign sales and costs are denominated in U.S.
dollars. With respect to transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the
Company attempts to mitigate foreign exchange risk by contractually shifting the
burden of the risk of currency fluctuations to the other party to the
transactions. It has been the Company's historic practice to conduct
international sales in accordance with the foregoing. There can be no assurance
that the Company's strategies will ensure that the Company will be fully
protected from foreign exchange risk. Foreign sales, particularly construction
management projects undertaken at foreign locations, are subject to various
risks, including exposure to currency fluctuations, political, religious and
economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of foreign
tariffs and other trade barriers, and changes in governmental policies. There
