Item 1. Business.


General
- -------

York International Corporation (the Company) is a full-line, global designer and
manufacturer of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration
(HVAC&R) products. The Company believes it is the third largest manufacturer
and marketer of such products in the United States and one of the leading
companies in the HVAC&R industry internationally. The Company's air
conditioning systems range from a one ton* unit for a small residence to the
59,000 ton system installed in the New York World Trade Center. In 1998, the
Company's products were sold in over 100 countries through over 750 sales and
distribution facilities and are in use in such diverse locations as the Kuala
Lumpur City Centre in Malaysia, the British Houses of Parliament, the Tokyo
World Trade Center, the Pentagon, NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape
Canaveral, NASA's Johnson Space Center, the Los Angeles International Airport,
the Jeddah Airport, the Overseas Union Bank Centre in Singapore, the Sydney
Opera House, the National Library Complex in Beijing, the Atlantic City
Convention Center, the English Channel Eurotunnel, the Hong Kong Exposition
Centre and the Lantau Airport Railway System in Hong Kong.

The Company was founded in 1874 in York, Pennsylvania. From 1956 until 1986 the
Company was a part of Borg-Warner Corporation ("Borg-Warner"). In 1986 it was
spun off to Borg-Warner shareholders and became an independent, publicly held
company. In 1988 the Company was purchased in a leveraged buyout by a
corporation organized by affiliates of Citicorp Investments Inc. ("CII") and two
investors (the "Acquisition"). In October 1991, the Company completed an initial
public offering of its Common Stock and in 1992 CII and the other non-management
investors in the Acquisition sold their remaining shares in a public offering.

Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, the Company has manufacturing facilities in
13 states and 12 foreign countries. As of December 31, 1998, the Company
employed approximately 20,600 people worldwide.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company" and "York" refer to
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 631 South Richland Avenue, York, Pennsylvania 17403, and
its telephone number is (717) 771-7890.

Strategy
- --------

The Company's strategy is to focus on the global air conditioning equipment and
worldwide service, repair and replacement markets and increase its presence in
the worldwide refrigeration and gas compression market. The Company has grown,
and expects to continue to grow, through expansion of its current product lines,
acquisitions of businesses, establishment of joint ventures and licensing of
technology in the HVAC&R industry.

The Company intends to continue its strategy of increasing its market share by
broadening its product range to offer a complete line of environmentally
acceptable and energy efficient products. The Company seeks to take advantage
of regulatory changes by developing products that comply with tightening
environmental and energy efficiency requirements and regulations before they
become effective. The Company has implemented its environmental strategy by
developing product lines that utilize its screw, centrifugal, reciprocating,
hermetic, scroll and inertia compressor technology employing HCFC-123, HCFC-22,
R-407C, R-410A, R-404A, R-507, R-717 (ammonia) and HFC-134a as a refrigerant.
The screw and centrifugal compressor utilize designs which separate the
refrigerant from the motor housing. See "Environmental Matters" below. The
Company has increased the overall efficiency of its product offerings by
employing internally developed advanced heat transfer and compressor

technology and introducing large air conditioning systems that utilize advanced
thermal storage and absorption technologies.

The Company is also seeking to expand into new markets. The Company intends to
expand sales of its equipment throughout the international markets by broadening
its product line, expanding its distribution capabilities and pursuing
acquisitions.

The Company also focuses on controlling manufacturing and operating expenses and
thus improving its operating margins by redesigning products, acquiring more
efficient manufacturing equipment and processes and reducing costs not directly
associated with the manufacturing process. In addition, the Company has a
continuous planning process to enable it to carefully monitor the amount of
capital used in its business and to reposition its business units in light of
changing conditions throughout the year. The Company believes that its
management stock ownership plans and management incentive compensation plans,
which reward the management team of each operating unit for achieving the
planned objectives of that unit, have been key elements in implementing its
strategies and achieving its financial objectives.

Products and Markets
- --------------------

All of the Company's products are in the heating, ventilating, air conditioning
and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry and the Company operates solely in this
industry. Within HVAC&R, the Company's products fall into three general

Engineered Systems Products. The Company's Engineered Systems Group consists of
- ---------------------------
heating and air conditioning solutions for buildings ranging from small office
buildings and fast food restaurants to large commercial and industrial
complexes. Engineered Systems air conditioning products include air-cooled and
water-cooled chillers, central air handling units, variable air volume units,
control equipment to monitor and control the entire system, maintenance and
service. Engineered Systems Group manufactures and provides certain design
solutions for larger systems used in hospitals, office towers, hotels and
airports. The Engineered Systems Group also supplies specially designed chilled
water systems for use on U.S., British, French and other naval and commercial
marine vessels. The Company is currently the major supplier of water chillers to
the U.S. Navy for both surface vessels and submarines.

The Company markets its Engineered Systems under the "YORK", "MILLER-PICKING",
"TEMPMASTER", "SEVESO" and "PACE" brands. In the United States and Canada,
distribution of Engineered Systems products and services are coordinated by
seven regional offices and approximately 61 district offices. These district
offices market products directly to end users and contractors. The Company has
approximately 123 direct sales representatives and 115 independent sales agents
in the North American market. Internationally, the Engineered Systems products
and services are sold and distributed in conjunction with other York business
groups. See discussion of Non-U.S. Distribution on page 6.

The Engineered Systems Group has a full line of chiller products utilizing the
latest technologies and refrigerants. The Group also has a line of standard
indoor air handling equipment incorporating the technologies for indoor air
quality and a line of customized indoor and outdoor air handling products. In
1997, the Company acquired PACE Gamewell which designs, manufactures and sells
air handling equipment. York manufactures the broadest line of chiller and air
handling equipment of any manufacturer in the industry.

The Engineered Systems Group derives substantial revenues by selling replacement
equipment and parts, and by providing routine maintenance and emergency service
for products manufactured by the Company and its competitors through annual
service contracts. The Company has a corporate and national account sales
program to service customers with multiple locations throughout the world.

The Engineered Systems Group believes its reputation for service and repair is
excellent. The Company employs more than 3,500 service technicians in offices
throughout the world. These technicians generate revenues through the sale of
replacement parts and by providing routine and emergency service for air
conditioning and refrigeration systems manufactured by the Company and its
competitors. The Engineered Systems Group believes that its emphasis on service
and repair, combined with the growth and aging of the installed base of air
conditioning and refrigeration equipment, will be key factors in increasing the
Company's revenues derived from the service, repair and replacement market.

The Company's Engineered Systems products are principally manufactured in York,
Pennsylvania; Albany, Missouri; Hattiesburg, Mississippi; Salisbury, North
Carolina; Portland, Oregon; San Antonio, Texas; Roanoke, Virginia; Basildon,
England; Barlassina, Italy; Carquefou, France; Asquith, Australia; Montevideo,
Uruguay; Wuxi, China; Guanghzou, China; Durango, Mexico; and Monterrey, Mexico.

All of the markets in which the Company's Engineered Systems Group does business
are very competitive. Engineered Systems product manufacturers compete on the
basis of product design, reliability, quality, price, efficiency and post-
installment service. Architects and engineers play an important part in
determining which manufacturer's products will be used in an application. In the
domestic market, the Company competes primarily with two large worldwide
manufacturers, Carrier Corporation, a subsidiary of United Technologies
Corporation, and Trane Company, a division of American Standard Inc. In the
international market, the Company competes primarily with Carrier Corporation,
Trane Company and several Japanese manufacturers, including Matsushita, Hitachi,
Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba.

Many of the components of the Company's engineered products, such as motors,
control elements and castings, are purchased from outside suppliers. The other
components are custom manufactured by the Company. Using these components and
custom-designed specifications, the engineered products are machined, assembled,
tested, shipped and installed. Following installation, the Company assists in
the start-up of the system, and supplies ongoing maintenance, service and
replacement parts.

3


Unitary Products. The Company's Unitary Products Group consists of heating and
- ----------------
air conditioning solutions for buildings ranging from private homes and
apartments to small commercial buildings. Unitary products include ducted
central air conditioning and heating systems (air conditioners, heat pumps and
furnaces), ductless mini-splits, light commercial heating and cooling equipment,
and reciprocating and scroll OEM compressors for original equipment
manufacturers and for sale by wholesale distributors.

Unitary products consist of split systems and packaged products. A split system
consists of an outdoor unit containing a compressor and condenser, and a
connected indoor unit containing a heat exchanger, an electric, gas or oil
heating section, an indoor blower system and associated controls. A packaged
product is a single, self-contained unit with compressor, condenser, heat
exchanger, electric, gas or oil heating section, blower and associated controls.
These units are typically installed on rooftops or beside a structure. Ducted
products distribute conditioned air throughout building structures with ductwork
connected to the system's blower, whereas ductless installations provide
conditioned air directly from indoor blowers without the use of ductwork.

A compressor is an integral part of an air conditioning system. The Company's
unitary products use compressors manufactured by the Unitary Products Group's
Bristol Compressors operation (Bristol) as well as those purchased from other
vendors. Revenues from Bristol were approximately $517 million, $504 million
and $530 million during 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Approximately 80% of
Bristol revenues are attributable to sales of products to other air conditioning
equipment manufacturers.

The Company markets its Unitary products under the "YORK", "LUXAIRE", "FRASER-
JOHNSTON", "COLEMAN EVCON", "GUARDIAN", "AIRPRO", "BRISTOL" and "SEVESO" brands.
"YORK" is the Company's full line brand, which is sold through Company-owned
distribution centers and exclusive independent distributors throughout the
world. The "YORK" brand is sold with a high level of customer service and sales
support. The Company's 1995 acquisition of Evcon Holdings expanded UPG's
capabilities and distribution network in the domestic unitary market. The
Company's other brands are sold through more than 200 non-exclusive distributors
primarily for resale to contractors. The Company also sells unitary products
directly to the manufactured housing industry in North America on an OEM basis.
Internationally, the Unitary Product Group products are sold in conjunction with
other York business groups. See discussion of Non-U.S. Distribution on page 6.

In 1998, the Company purchased the remaining 15% of its joint venture,
Aeromaster, and formed the 100% owned company York Industrial (Thailand) Co.,
Ltd. York Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is a mini-split manufacturer in
Bangkok, Thailand. The mini-split market represents a significant portion of
the unitary business in the Asia Pacific Region and York Industrial Thailand
enables York to compete in this market with a product manufactured within the
Region. York Industrial Thailand supplies mini-split product to York offices
located around the world.

Sales of Unitary products include both new installations and replacement
systems. The Company estimates that more than half of its Unitary products
revenues in North America are attributable to the replacement market. The
replacement market is not affected by levels of new home construction and
therefore trends to be less cyclical. The replacement market is significantly
affected by ambient temperature. Hot spring weather causes existing older units
to fail earlier in the season, leading customers to accelerate replacement of a
unit which might otherwise be deferred in the case of a late season failure.

New residential products cover a wide range of efficiencies and may be able to
qualify for rebates offered by local utility companies for high efficiency
equipment. Bristol markets an INERTIA reciprocating compressor that directly
competes against other technologies in meeting high efficiency requirements.
Bristol has also developed a new compressor design known as TS(TM) Technology.
These new compressors provide higher system efficiencies, greater reliability,
and increased comfort. Scroll Technologies, a joint venture to design and
manufacture scroll compressors, continues to upgrade the scroll compressor
technology and performance.

Unitary and light commercial products are manufactured principally in plants
located in Elyria, Ohio; Norman, Oklahoma; Wichita, Kansas; Barlassina, Italy;
Bogota, Colombia; Monterrey, Mexico; Bangkok, Thailand; Johannesburg, South
Africa; and Guangzhou, China. The Company's manufacturing process relies on the
purchase of certain components (including hermetic compressors, copper tube, fan
motors, fan blades, and control

4


elements) from outside suppliers, and in-house fabrication of sheet metal
cabinets and refrigerant coils. The various unitary products are then assembled
and tested before shipment. Bristol compressors are manufactured at the
Company's factories in Bristol, Virginia and Sparta, North Carolina, and by
Scroll Technologies in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. As with other Company products,
Bristol compressors are assembled using purchased parts (including motors,
castings, forgings and electronic components) as well as parts manufactured by
the Company.

All of the markets in which the Company's Unitary Products Group does business
are very competitive. Unitary product manufacturers compete on the basis of
price, reliability, delivery, efficiency and maximum market coverage. Price
competition and maximum market coverage are of particular importance in the
residential product lines as there is often relatively little perceived
differentiation. In the domestic market, the Company competes with three large
worldwide manufacturers, Carrier Corporation, Trane Company and Lennox and
numerous national manufacturers such as Goodman, International Comfort Products,
Rheem and Nordyne. In the international market, the Company competes primarily
with Carrier Corporation, Trane Company, Lennox and several Asian manufacturers,
including Hitachi, LG, Matsushita, Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung and Toshiba. In
the compressors market, the Company competes directly with two United States
manufacturers, Copeland Corporation, a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Inc., and
Tecumseh, a division of Tecumseh Corporation.

Refrigeration Products. The Company's Refrigeration Products Group consists of
- ----------------------
screw and reciprocating compressors, condensers, evaporators, heat exchangers,
freezers for commercial food freezing, process refrigeration systems, hygienic
air distribution systems, gas compression systems and automated plant control
systems.

Screw compressors enable the Company to produce highly reliable, ammonia
refrigeration systems required for commercial and industrial applications in the
food, beverage, chemical and petroleum industries. The Company believes that
screw compressors are the most reliable and energy efficient compressors
available for ammonia refrigeration systems. The Company's Gram Refrigeration
business provides similar manufacturing capabilities in Europe and increased
availability of technologically advanced product. Gram also produces
reciprocating compressors for refrigeration applications. The Company's
refrigeration and gas compression equipment is engineered and manufactured to
customer specifications. Food freezing equipment produced by the Company
includes spiral and tunnel freezers for the poultry, frozen vegetable and
prepared food businesses. Smaller capacity packaged commercial freezing machines
have been downsized to meet the needs of developing new markets.

Refrigeration systems are essential in the textile, electronics, pharmaceutical
and petrochemical industries. Food, beverage and process cooling operations use
refrigeration systems both in product freezing and maintaining these products in
warehouses, distribution centers and retail outlets. Refrigeration Product Group
systems are also in use in sporting venues.

The Company markets its refrigeration and gas compression equipment under the
"YORK", "YORK FOOD SYSTEMS", "FRICK", "FRIGID COIL", "IMECO", "RECO", "RITE
COIL", "RECOLD", "NORTHFIELD", "ACUAIRE" and "GRAM REFRIGERATION" brands. The
products are sold by the Company's sales engineers located in 14 offices and a
national network of more than 50 independent agents in the United States as well
as nine offices, 20 independent distributors and one licensee elsewhere in the
world. In addition, the Company believes that developing countries offer
opportunities for increasing sales of refrigeration equipment. See non-U.S.
distribution below for additional discussion on non-U.S. markets.

Refrigeration equipment is manufactured at Company-owned facilities in Dixon,
Illinois; Polo, Illinois; Waynesboro, Pennsylvania; Northfield, Minnesota;
Smithville, Ohio; San Antonio, Texas; Carquefou, France; and Vojens, Denmark,
and at a leased facility in Santa Fe Springs, California.

All of the markets in which the Company's Refrigeration Products Group does
business are very competitive. Refrigeration product manufacturers compete on
the basis of product design, reliability, quality and price. In the market for
refrigeration equipment, the Company competes primarily with FES, BAC, Evapco
and Krack Corp., Mycom, Sabroe and Frigoscandia (subsidiary of FMC Corporation).

Raw Materials and Purchased Components
- --------------------------------------

The Company purchases compressors, steel, copper, aluminum, electric motors,
castings, forgings, stampings, fabricated copper tubes, electronic starters and
controls, aluminum fin, fan blades, capacitors, transformers, refrigerant gases,
valves, fittings and other components from many outside suppliers. Alternate
sources of supply are available for all raw materials and components for which
the Company uses a single supplier. The Company believes that it has adequate
sources of supplies of raw materials and component parts for its manufacturing
requirements. In order to hedge against certain raw material price increases,
the Company enters into forward contracts for the purchase of certain raw
materials, principally copper and aluminum.

Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------

The Company holds numerous patents that relate to the design and use of its
products that it considers important, but not essential, to the overall conduct
of its business. It is the Company's policy to obtain patent protection for as
many of its new and developmental products as possible, and to enforce such
patent rights as appropriate. No patents which the Company considers material
will expire within the next five years.

The Company owns several trademarks that it considers important in the marketing
of its products as discussed in each of the business segment sections. The
Company believes that its rights in these trademarks are adequately protected
and of unlimited duration.

Non-U.S. Distribution
- ---------------------

Outside of the United States, the Company markets the majority of its products
and services, for all business groups, through the same sales and service
offices. The Company's worldwide business groups are segregated internally into
North America and the four geographic regions discussed below.

The Company's European region, headquartered in Basildon England, markets its
products and services through offices located in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, the

Dividends received by the Company from joint ventures were $1.5 million in 1996,
$1.2 million in 1997, and $0.5 million in 1998. Total Company investments in
joint ventures were $22.2 million, $17.7 million and $20.1 million at December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Total sales by the Company to joint
ventures are less than 1% of the Company's total revenues.

Major Customers
- ---------------

During 1998, no customer, distributor, dealer or licensee accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's revenues. The loss of a few customers, distributors,
dealers or licensees would not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
business.

Substantially all orders are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 months.

Government Contracts
- --------------------

In 1998, approximately 2% of the Company's sales were related to ongoing United
States Government projects. The Company expects that substantially all work
will be completed during fiscal year 1999 in connection with all of these
contracts. The Company's existing contracts with the United States Government
may be terminated at any time at the option of the Government and are subject to
continued availability of government appropriations. If these contracts were
terminated, the Company would only be entitled to reimbursement of costs
incurred and to payment of a reasonable allowance for profit on work actually
performed.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

The Company's product development activities include ongoing research and
development programs to redesign existing products to reduce manufacturing costs
and to increase product efficiencies, developing electronic controls for current
product offerings and creating new products encompass a wide range of products.
During the years 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company spent $28.0 million, $30.6
million, and $31.2 million, respectively, for all product development
activities.

The Engineered System Groups most notable chiller product developments in 1998
were the new air-cooled offerings from 10 to 400 tons and many older regional
product lines are being replaced with low-cost, energy efficient, modular,
global product platforms. The centrifugal chiller line expansion continues with
new environmentally acceptable replacements for CFC's. The product line now
extends from 300 to 2,000 tons for these refrigerants. The Company also
completed development of a new custom air handling product line in the range of
2,000 to 50,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). The new products include the
latest technologies to insure indoor air quality. The combination of air
handling product development and current product lines give the Company the
broadest line of air handling products of any single manufacturer in the
industry. The HFC-134a centrifugal chillers for Surface and Submarine Vessels
were introduced in the Navy's new construction programs in 1998. Development of
HFC-236fa retrofit kits were also installed into the fleet in 1998. The Company
has also introduced a new line of variable speed drives for centrifugal chillers
to 1,000 tons. This product is compact enough to mount directly on the chiller
and is applicable to the retrofitting of any centrifugal chiller on the market.

The Unitary Products Group continues to redesign its product line for lower
sound ratings, greater efficiency, reliability and manufacturing cost
effectiveness. Bristol has developed a new breakthrough compressor design, TS
Technology, providing higher system efficiencies, greater reliability, and
increased comfort. Scroll compressor technology and capability are continuing to
expand through the joint venture Scroll Technology.

The Refrigeration Products Group continues to redesign certain products for
greater reliability and manufacturing cost effectiveness. The group is
currently developing a new high-pressure screw compressor at the Frick
manufacturing facility in Waynesboro, PA to be used in applications for the gas
compression industry.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 20,600 persons
worldwide. Approximately 12,900 persons are employed in the United States and
7,700 persons are employed in foreign countries. Approximately 4,700 domestic
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements which expire between
May 1999 and January 2004. The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be satisfactory.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

Environmental laws that affect or could affect the Company's domestic operations
include, among others, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the
National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, any
regulations promulgated under these acts, and various other Federal, state and
local laws and regulations governing environmental matters. The Company
believes it is in substantial compliance with such existing environmental laws
and regulations.

The Company's non-U.S. operations are also subject to various environmental
statutes and regulations. Generally, these requirements tend to be no more
restrictive than those in effect in the United States. The Company believes it
is in substantial compliance with such existing environmental statutes and
regulations. In 1993, the Council of European Communities agreed on EC
regulation number 1836/93 which recommended that each company voluntarily
complete an ECO-Audit. The Company has completed these audits at several of its
European facilities.

In September 1987, the United States became a signatory to an international
agreement titled the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone
Layer (the "Montreal Protocol"). The Montreal Protocol requires its signatories
to reduce production and consumption of CFCs and Halons, some of which are
utilized in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. In 1988, the EPA
issued regulations under the Clean Air Act implementing the Montreal Protocol in
the United States. Many other countries have also become signatories to the
Montreal Protocol. The manner in which these countries implement the Montreal
Protocol and regulate CFCs could differ from the approach taken in the United
States.

The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments implement the Montreal Protocol by
establishing a program for limiting the production, importation and use of
certain ozone depleting chemicals (including those governed by the Montreal
Protocol) some of which are refrigerants currently used by the Company. Under
the Act, the production and consumption of the refrigerants designated as "Class
I substances" including all CFCs must be phased out beginning in 1991 and are to
be banned completely by 2000. Certain other refrigerants, including all HCFCs,
are designated as "Class II substances", and must be phased out between 2015 and
2030.

The Clean Air Act allows the EPA to accelerate the statutory phase-out schedule
for any Class I or Class II substance. In November 1992, the parties to the
Montreal Protocol agreed to amend the Protocol to require the complete phase-out
of CFC production by the beginning of 1996. Further, the parties agreed to a
1996 production cap on HCFCs and a complete phase-out of HCFC production by
2030. The EPA published a final rule requiring accelerated phase-out of the
production of all CFCs by 1996 and of all HCFCs by 2030.

None of the Company's manufactured products contains Class I substances. Class
I substances previously used by the Company have been substituted for by Class
II substances or substances that are currently unregulated. The Company does,
however, believe that revenues from servicing and repairing existing equipment
that uses Class I substances are and will be significant. These activities are
regulated by the EPA which imposes guidelines affecting service and maintenance
of equipment that use Class I and Class II substances. The Company trains and
licenses its service technicians in service and maintenance procedures that
comply with the new regulations. Therefore, the Company believes that the new
regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its operations. The
phase-out of Class I substances will require modifications to existing air
conditioning equipment as availability of recycled Class I substances decreases.
Since the Company's technology enables it to modify existing equipment for use
with Class II substances, it believes that this will continue to generate
additional service revenues. While the Company expects to derive substantial
revenue from the sale of products utilizing Class II substances, it is not
expected that any phase-out will have a significant impact on the sales of such
products until after the turn of the century. Nonetheless, as the supply of
virgin and recycled Class II substances falls, it will be necessary to address
the need to substitute permitted substances for Class II substances.

9


The Company, in conjunction with major chemical manufacturers, is continually in
the process of reviewing and addressing the impact of refrigerant regulations on
its products. The Company believes that the combination of those products which
presently utilize Class II substances and those products in the field which can
be retrofitted to such refrigerants provides a complete line of commercial and
industrial products. Therefore, the Company does not foresee any material
adverse impact on its business or competitive position as a result of the
Montreal Protocol, the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments or their implementing
regulations. However, the Company believes that the implementation of severe
restrictions on the production, importation or use of refrigerants employed in
larger quantities by the Company could have such an impact. The Company believes
that the Engineered Systems products that it has produced will be well
positioned to utilize the next generation of refrigerants without substantial
modification. If the next generation of refrigerants is incompatible with the
hermetic compressors used by the Company and all of its competitors for Unitary
products, design modifications would be required.

Governmental Regulations
- ------------------------

The Company is subject to regulations promulgated under the National Appliance
Energy Conservation Act of 1987, as amended, and various state regulations
concerning the energy efficiency of its products. The Company has developed and
is developing products which will comply with these regulations, and does not
believe that such regulations will have a material adverse effect on its
business.
