PART I
Item 1. Business
OVERVIEW
WSI Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Minnesota in 1950 for
the purpose of performing precision contract machining for the aerospace,
communication, and industrial markets. The major portion of Company revenues are
derived from machining work for the aerospace/avionics industry and recreational
vehicles markets.
On February 15, 1999, the Company purchased Taurus Numeric Tool, Inc. ("Taurus")
for approximately $7.2 million, with $5.5 million being paid in cash and bank
debt and an additional $1.7 million being in the form of a Subordinated
Promissory Note to the prior owner. Taurus is a precision contract machining
company that sells primarily to the recreational vehicle and aerospace and
avionics markets.
On August 6, 1999, the Company purchased Bowman Tool & Machining, Inc.
("Bowman") for approximately $7.6 million, with $6.8 million being paid by
additional debt and $844,000 being paid in the form of a Subordinated Promissory
Note to the prior owner of Bowman. An additional amount of $1,090,600 was earned
by the seller in connection with the purchase, which was added to the Promissory
Note. Bowman is a precision contract machining company serving the agriculture
and construction industries.
On February 22, 2002, the Company completed the asset sale of Bowman Tool &
Machining, Inc. to an affiliate of the prior owner. The Company received
approximately $3.1 million in cash from the sale, with the buyer also assuming
another $3.4 million in long-term debt. The buyer also assumed any remaining
liabilities associated with amounts due on the non-compete and employment
agreements associated with the original acquisition.
Contract manufacturing constitutes the Company's entire business.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company manufactures metal components in medium to high volumes requiring
tolerances as close as one ten-thousandth (.0001) of an inch. These components
are manufactured in accordance with customer specifications using materials
generally purchased by the Company, but occasionally supplied by the customer.
SALES AND MARKETING
The major markets served by the Company have changed in the past several years
because of the Company's effort to diversify its customer and market base. Sales
to the agricultural industry were 35%, 36% and 21% of total Company sales in
fiscal years, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Sales to the recreational
vehicle market totaled 9%, 12% and 37% in 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively.
Sales to the aerospace/avionics/defense markets totaled 12%, 19% and 17% in
fiscal 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Sales to the construction/power
systems market totaled 20%, 19% and 10% in fiscal 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively. With the sale of Bowman Tool assets described above, the Company
is no longer in the agriculture or construction/power systems markets.
2
The Company has a reputation as a dependable supplier capable of meeting
stringent specifications to produce quality components at high production rates.
The Company has demonstrated an ability to develop sophisticated manufacturing
processes and controls essential to produce precision and reliability in its
products.
SEASONALITY
Seasonal patterns in the Company's business are reflections of the Company's
customers seasonal patterns since the Company's business is that of a provider
of manufacturing services.
CUSTOMERS
Sales in excess of 10 percent of fiscal 2002 consolidated sales were made to
Deere & Co. and related entities in the amount of $4,119,000 or 32% of Company
revenues. In fiscal 2002, sales were also made to Rockwell Collins, Inc. in the
amount of $1,314,000 or 10% of Company sales, as well as to Polaris Industries
Inc. in the amount of $4,781,000 or 37% of sales.
BACKLOG
Approximate dollar backlog at August 25, 2002, August 26, 2001 and August 27,
2000 was $2,634,000, $13,108,000 and $23,876,000, respectively. Backlog is not
deemed to be any more significant for the Company than for other companies
engaged in similar businesses. The above backlog amounts are believed to be
firm, and no appreciable amount of the backlog as of August 25, 2002 is
scheduled for delivery later than during the current fiscal year. A significant
portion of the decrease from 2001 to 2002 relates to the sale of the Bowman Tool
& Machining, Inc. assets, and the business that they corresponded to, as
described in the overview section above. A major portion of the decrease from
2000 to 2001 related to the decision of one major customer to effectively
consign material to the Company, thus lowering the overall sales price back to
that customer of the finished product.
COMPETITION
Although there are a large number of companies engaged in machining, the Company
believes the number of entities with the technical capability and capacity for
producing products of the class and in the volumes manufactured by the Company
is relatively small. Competition is primarily based on product quality, service,
timely delivery, and price.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
No material amount has been spent on company-sponsored research and development
activities. Patents and trademarks are not deemed significant to the Company.
EMPLOYEES
At August 25, 2002, the Company had 40 employees, none of whom were subject to a
union contract. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
The Company has no operations in any foreign country. In 2000, 2001 and 2002,
sales to companies in Mexico amounted to $2,061,000, $2,623,000 and $703,000,
respectively.
3
Item 2. Properties
The Company's former executive offices and production facility were located in
Long Lake, Minnesota (a western suburb of Minneapolis). The property was sold in
June 2001 for approximately $2.4 million.
The Company leases a production facility located in Osseo, Minnesota that houses
its production and is also its headquarters. The facility is approximately
28,000 square feet and is leased until February 2003 with options to renew.
Monthly rent is approximately $9,600 plus operating expenses and taxes.
The Company considers its manufacturing equipment, facilities, and
other physical properties to be suitable and adequate to meet the requirements
of its business.

Registrant is not a party to any material legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to its business.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities.
We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the
accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our
financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting
policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results
could differ from the estimates we used in applying the critical accounting
policies. Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not
currently aware of any reasonably likely event that would result in materially
different amounts being reported.
Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory:
Inventories, which are composed of raw materials, work in process and finished
goods, are valued at the lower of cost or market. On a periodic basis, the
Company analyzes the level of inventory on hand, its cost in relation to market
value and estimated customer requirements to determine whether write-downs for
excess or obsolete inventory are required. Actual customer requirements in any
future periods are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from our estimates.
If actual or expected requirements were significantly greater or lower than the
established reserves, we would record a reduction or increase to the
obsolescence allowance in the period in which we made such a determination.
Goodwill Impairment:
The Company evaluates the valuation of its goodwill according to the provisions
of SFAS 142 to determine if the current value of goodwill has been impaired. To
do this the Company determines the discounted present value of anticipated cash
flows based on anticipated results of operations for the coming years. If we
have changes in events or circumstances, including reductions in anticipated
cash flows generated by our operations, goodwill could become impaired which
would result in a charge to earnings.
Deferred Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred
income taxes are provided for temporary difference between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance would
be set up should the realization of any deferred taxes become less likely than
not to occur. The valuation allowance is analyzed periodically by the Company
and may result in income tax expense different than statutory rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
As discussed in Item 1., the Company completed the asset sale of Bowman Tool &
Machining, Inc. on February 22, 2002. As a result of this transaction, the
Company received approximately $3.1 million in cash, along with the buyer
assuming another $3.4 million in long-term debt and capital leases. The Company
used $850,000 of the cash received to payoff its term note facility with its
bank. The Company also used approximately $629,000 of its cash received to pay
accounts payable and accrued liabilities retained as part of the sale.
7
The Company's net working capital at the end of fiscal 2002 was $1,791,000 as
compared to a negative $1,001,000 at the end of fiscal 2001. The improvement was
due in large measure to the sale of Bowman Tool assets described above. Net
working capital also improved due to the recognition of deferred tax assets (as
more fully described in Note 6 of the Financial Statements), and the
corresponding inclusion of $185,000 of deferred taxes in current assets. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities improved to 2.23 to 1.0 from .78
to 1.0 in the prior year.
The Company's cash provided from operations was a negative $77,000, but included
in that total were Bowman accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $629,000
that were retained as part of the asset sale. Excluding those payments, the
Company would have generated $552,000 of cash from operations in fiscal 2002.
Cash provided from operations was $2.6 million in fiscal 2001 and $2.0 million
in fiscal 2000.
Additions to property, plant and equipment were $613,000 in fiscal 2002 compared
to $513,000 in 2001 and $916,000 in 2000. These amounts included $607,000,
$323,000 and $433,000 of machinery acquired through capital leases in 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively. The major 2002 capital expenditures consisted of the
acquisition of new production equipment.
Proceeds from the sale of equipment amounted to $4,400 and $746,000 in fiscal
2002 and 2000, respectively. The relatively large proceeds in 2000 resulted from
the sale of excess equipment derived from the shutdown of the Company's Long
Lake, Minnesota facility. In fiscal 2001, the Company sold its building in Long
Lake for $2.4 million.
The Company's total debt was $2.1 million at August 25, 2002 and consisted of
$1.1 million of seller subordinated notes and capital lease obligations of $1.0
million. The total debt was $4.9 million lower than fiscal 2001.
Current maturities of long-term debt consist of $554,000 due February 2003 to a
subordinated debt holder and $181,000 due on capital leases. The Company is
presently seeking a new lending arrangement with a new bank to provide a
revolving credit facility. However, should the Company not obtain a new credit
arrangement, it is managements' belief that internally generated funds will be
sufficient to enable the Company to meet its financial requirements during
fiscal 2003.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net sales in fiscal 2002 were $12.9 million. That is a decrease of $7.9 million
or 38% from fiscal 2001. The primary reason for this was the asset sale of
Bowman Tool in February 2002, and thus the inclusion of only a half-year of
Bowman sales in 2002 operations. Year-on-year sales for Taurus Numeric Tool (the
remaining subsidiary of WSI) increased 5% in fiscal 2002 to approximately $8.4
million from $8.0 million in 2001. This increase in sales resulted from the
addition of a new product line in the recreational vehicle market offset by the
decline in sales from the aerospace and avionics market due to the events of
September 11, 2001.
Net sales in fiscal 2001 of $20.9 million decreased $11.3 million or 35% from
fiscal 2000 sales of $32.2 million. Sales decreased in 2001 as compared to 2000
for three primary reasons. The first was the overall downturn in the economy
that affected all markets served by the Company. Secondly, as mentioned in
previous Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, a major customer made the decision to
effectively consign raw materials for its manufacturing programs to the Company
instead of WSI purchasing the material and subsequently reselling the material
after manufacture. This consignment
8
arrangement resulted in lower sales to that customer. The last reason for the
decreased in sales was the loss of a larger customer at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2001.
The Company reported a net loss in fiscal 2002 of $813,000 or $.33 per share.
Included in the results were recognition of the loss on the sale of Bowman
assets of $2.5 million and an income tax benefit of approximately $2.2 million.
Excluding these two items, the Company incurred a loss from operations of
$486,000.
In fiscal 2001, the Company reported a net loss of $1.2 million or $.48 per
share compared to net earnings of $639,000 or $.25 per share in 2000 and
$261,000 or .10 per share in 1999. The net earnings in fiscal 2000 included a
gain from the termination of the Company's defined pension plan of $354,000, a
gain on the sale of excess equipment of $395,000, and $248,000 in severance
costs paid to employees affected by the Long Lake plant shutdown.
The gross margin on parts sold in fiscal 2002 was 12.3% of sales compared to
18.5% in 2001 and 15.2% in 2000. The margin decreased in large measure due to
volume inefficiencies related to the softness of the aerospace/avionics markets
and, correspondingly, due to the non-aerospace/avionics business consisting of
higher material content products. The margins were also affected by a $255,000
increase in the Company's inventory obsolescence reserve made in the second
quarter due to the softening of the aerospace/avionics business. Year to date
margins for the Taurus operation were 10.5% and 23.0% for 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and were affected by the items in the preceding discussion.
The gross margin on parts sold in fiscal 2001 was 18.5% of sales compared to
16.8% of sales in 2000. Margin improved in 2001 versus 2000 despite the lower
level of sales. The primary reason for this was the increased efficiencies
obtained due to the closure of the Company's Long Lake, Minnesota facility which
was open only part of the year in 2000. Fiscal 2001 gross margin was hampered as
the year went on and the level of sales softened -- gross margin in the first
quarter was 21.9% versus 8.1% in the fourth quarter.
Selling and administrative expense of $1.75 million in fiscal 2002 was a
decrease of $2.5 million and $2.6 million from fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease in 2002 was due to several factors. First, the sale
of the Bowman subsidiary assets generated a savings of approximately $570,000 in
the last six months of 2002. The Company's selling and administrative expense
was also lower in 2002 due the Company's adoption of FAS 142 Goodwill and
Intangible Assets as outlined in Note 10 of the financial statements which
resulted in a reduction of amortization expense of $337,000. A third factor in
the reduced expense related to the June 2001 sale of the Company's Long Lake,
Minnesota facility. The Company had included in selling and administrative
expense in fiscal 2001 carrying costs of the building of $345,000 while the
amount in fiscal 2000 was approximately $214,000. WSI's selling and
administrative costs were also lower in 2002 due to cost containment measures
including reductions in wages and benefits, professional services and cost
savings due to the consolidation efforts that were a result of the sale of the
Bowman Tool subsidiary assets.
The slight decrease in selling and administrative expense in 2001 versus 2000
was a combination of lower incentive compensation and profit sharing partially
offset by the carrying cost of the Long Lake building being included in selling
and administrative expense for a longer period in 2001 versus 2000.
Interest and other expense of $363,000 in fiscal 2002 was $458,000 lower than
2001 and $635,000 lower than 2000. The lower expense is a result of lower
long-term debt as balances decreased from $10.8 million in 2000 (including
current maturities) to $2.1 million at the end of 2002.
9
In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001 with early adoption permitted for companies with fiscal years beginning
after March 15, 2001. The Company adopted the new rules on accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
2002. Effective with the August 27, 2001 adoption of FAS 142, goodwill is no
longer amortized but is instead subject to an annual impairment test. The
Company has performed its transitional impairment test in conjunction with the
adoption of FAS 142 and determined that no charge is warranted. The Company's
primary method of estimating goodwill impairment consisted of a discounted cash
flow analysis based on the Company's best estimate of future operations, taking
into account variations that might occur with different levels of business.
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $2.2 million in fiscal 2002.
Prior to 2002, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of
the deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was eliminated in 2002 based on
the operating results from the fourth quarter and projections for upcoming years
that, in the Company's estimation, would make it more likely than not that it
will fully utilize its prior loss carryforwards and tax credits. Subsequent to
fiscal 2002, it is anticipated that the Company will record income tax expense
in line with statutory rates.

standards to be adopted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
WSI Industries, Inc.
Osseo, Minnesota
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of WSI, Inc. and Subsidiaries as
of August 25, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14 (a).
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audit. The financial statements of WSI,
Inc. and Subsidiaries and the related financial statement schedule as of August
26, 2001, and August 27, 2000 were audited by other auditors whose reports dated
October 12, 2001, and October 13, 2000, expressed unqualified opinions on those
financial statements and unqualified opinions on the financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.
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 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
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 consolidated financial position of
WSI, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of August 25, 2002, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also
in our opinion, the 2002 related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED AUGUST 25, 2002, AUGUST 26, 2001 AND AUGUST 27, 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description -- WSI Industries, Inc. is involved in the precision
contract metal machining business primarily serving the recreational
vehicle, aerospace/avionics and computer industries.
Fiscal Year - WSI Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the Company) fiscal
years represent a 52- to 53-week period ending the last Sunday in August.
Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 each consisted of 52 weeks.
Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of WSI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, bank account balances and money market investments including debt
obligations issued by the U. S. Government or its agencies and corporate
obligations. Cash equivalents are carried at cost plus accrued interest
which approximates fair value.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market. Inventory costs consist of material, direct
labor, and manufacturing overhead. The Company's inventories are stated
net of valuation allowances of $517,380 and $263,272 at August 25, 2002
and August 26, 2001, respectively.
Depreciation - The cost of substantially all equipment is being
depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of
the assets are as follows:
Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years
Transportation equipment 3 years
The Company evaluates long-term assets on a periodic basis in compliance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.
During 2001, the Company determined that some excess equipment that is
currently on consignment to be sold was worth less than its net book
value. The Company has written the book value of the related equipment to
its estimated fair market value. In 2001, the Company recognized
approximately $150,000 in expense related to this impairment.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability
method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
23
Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of product are recorded upon
shipment. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition. Credit losses relating to customers have
been minimal and within management's expectations.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant estimates made in those financial
statements consist of estimates related to the impairment of goodwill as
well as to the valuation allowance connected to the deferred tax assets.
Earnings per Share -- Basic earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per share is computed using the combination of dilutive common share
equivalents and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Stock Options - The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation, but applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) and related interpretation in accounting for its
plans. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
Reclassification - Certain prior year items have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards -- In 2001, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These
standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other
things, prohibiting the prospective use of pooling-of-interests
accounting and requiring companies to stop amortizing goodwill and
certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life created by
business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite useful life will be subject to an annual review for
impairment. The Company adopted the standards in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002.
2. DIVESTITURE
On February 22, 2002, the Company completed the asset sale of one of its
subsidiaries, Bowman Tool & Machining, Inc., to W. Bowman Consulting
Company, an affiliate of the prior owner of Bowman. The Company received
approximately $3.1 million in cash from the sale, with the buyer also
assuming another $3.4 million in long-term debt (including capital
leases) in exchange for substantially all the assets of Bowman Tool. The
buyer also assumed any remaining liabilities associated with amounts due
on the non-compete and employment agreements that were a result of the
original 1999 Bowman acquisition. The Company retained approximately
$629,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities that were not part
of the sale.
The Company recognized a loss from the sale of Bowman of approximately
$2.5 million. The loss consisted of the $6.7 million in cash and debt
assumed offset by accounts receivable and inventory purchased of $1.25
million, net book value of property and equipment purchased of $3.8
million, goodwill also of $3.8 million as well as $350,000 of costs
associated with closing the deal.
The sale was completed at the close of the last business day of the
second quarter, so the consolidated statement of operations reflects six
months of activity for Bowman up through that date.

With the proceeds from the Bowman sale described in Note 2, the Company
paid off all amounts due under its bank credit and security agreement. At
August 25, 2002, the Company did not have a bank lending arrangement.
Prior to the Bowman sale, the Company had a term note and line of credit
with a bank. The agreement required principal payments of $52,381 per
month with interest on the term debt calculated at the bank's base rate
(6.50% at August 26, 2001) plus .75% paid monthly. Interest on the line
of credit was at the base rate plus .5%. At August 26, 2001 there was no
balance outstanding on the line of credit.
In connection with the acquisitions of Bowman Tool & Machining, Inc. and
Taurus Numeric Tool, Inc., the Company entered into Subordinated
Promissory Notes with the sellers of the respective companies. The
agreements call for quarterly interest payments at 7.75%. As described in
Note 2, the Bowman subordinated note was assumed by the buyer. The note
in connection with the Taurus transaction is due in three equal annual
installments commencing February 15, 2002. The note is subordinated to
all past and future bank debt, but is collateralized by equipment.
Maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations, for
the fiscal years subsequent to August 25, 2002 are as follows:
2003 $ 554,188
2004 554,188

5. STOCK OPTIONS
Stock Options - In fiscal 1988, the 1987 stock option plan was approved
and 175,000 shares of common stock were reserved for granting of options
to officers, key employees, and directors. No shares remain available for
grant from this plan since the term of grant is limited to ten years from
the date of the plan.
In fiscal 1995, the 1994 stock option plan was approved and 250,000
shares of common stock were reserved for granting of options to officers,
key employees, and directors. During fiscal 1999, the plan was amended to
reserve an additional 200,000 shares. At August 25, 2002, 106,166 shares
remained reserved and available for grant under the plan.
Option transactions during the three years ended August 25, 2002 are

The following pro forma information has been determined as if the
Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method
of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions for grants issued during fiscal 2002, fiscal 2001 and fiscal
2000 as set forth in the table below. The estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

============== ==============
The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets was eliminated in
2002. The elimination was based on improved operating results in the
fourth quarter of 2002, as well as projected operating results for 2003
and beyond. Correspondingly, the Company determined that it was more
likely than not that it will be able to generate taxable income in the
future to offset these deductions and carryforwards.
As of August 25, 2002, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $4,549,000 expiring in 2009-2022. Also as
of August 25, 2002, the Company had $525,000 in federal alternative
minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforward and approximately $46,000 in other
credit carryforward. The AMT credits are available to offset future tax
liabilities only to the extent that the Company has regular tax
liabilities in excess of AMT tax liabilities.
7. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company terminated its non-contributory pension plan effective
February 1, 2000. Participants were given the choice of receiving their
benefit by either taking a lump sum distribution, rolling their benefit
over to another qualified plan or receiving a monthly annuity from an
insurance company. At August 26, 2001 all assets of the Plan had been
distributed.
Net periodic pension cost consisted of the following:

10. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 with early adoption permitted for
companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. Under the new
rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives
will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
30
The Company adopted the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
Effective with the August 27, 2001 adoption of FAS 142, goodwill is no
longer amortized but is instead subject to an annual impairment test. The
company has performed its transitional impairment test in conjunction
with the adoption of FAS 142 and determined that no charge is warranted.
Goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from acquisitions of
business and the formation of the Company consist of the following:
August 25, 2002 August 26, 2001

With the sale of the Bowman assets as described in Note 2., the goodwill
and organization costs related to Bowman were eliminated. Goodwill
amounted to $3,901,499 with related accumulated amortization of $339,014.
Organization costs were $270,000 with related accumulated amortization of
$27,779.
With the adoption of FAS 142 the Company ceased amortization of goodwill
as of August 27, 2001. The following table presents the results of the
Company for all periods presented on a comparable basis:
