Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 present the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC (the “Company”), including its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC and Alliance Laundry Corporation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position and operating results of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.

These financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures provided are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

This report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2003 should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires additional disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of the changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities during the reporting period. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements in FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of the recognition and measurement provisions did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

During January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which clarifies the consolidation and disclosure requirements related to variable interests in a variable interest entity. A variable interest entity is an entity for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. The consolidation provisions of this

6

Table of Contents

Interpretation are effective immediately for interests created after January 31, 2003. For interests created before February 1, 2003, the Company is required to adopt the consolidation provisions no later than July 1, 2003. The Company is still evaluating the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation with respect to its pre-existing interests; however, qualifying special-purpose securitization entities are excluded from the consolidations requirements of this Interpretation.

NOTE 2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at cost using the first-in, first-out method but not in excess of net realizable value, and consist of the following (in thousands):

Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, any liability arising thereunder will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations after giving effect to provisions already recorded.

In September 1999, Juan Carlos Lopez pursued an arbitration against Alliance Laundry Sociedad Anonima, (“ALSA”) a foreign subsidiary of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, under UNCITRAL rules in Buenos Aires, Argentina, seeking in pertinent part, to be paid fees arising from a Consulting Agreement, and indemnification for loss of profits in Argentina and Brazil, plus damages for pain and suffering. An arbitration was conducted by an “ad-hoc” panel (the “Lopez Arbitration”), during which ALSA contended that Juan Carlos Lopez failed to fulfill responsibilities under the Consulting Agreement and was therefore not entitled to the fees, and that ALSA was not liable for loss of profits either in Argentina or Brazil, nor for an indemnification for pain and suffering. On April 3, 2001, the Lopez Arbitration was concluded. The arbitration panel awarded Argentine Pesos 1,408,900 ($1.4 million U.S. dollars at the time), plus nine percent interest from September 6, 1999, plus ten percent over this principal and interest amount as moral damages, plus certain fees and costs, while rejecting other claims of plaintiff. The Company does not believe this arbitration award will have a material effect on the Company’s operations, in as much as ALSA is a foreign subsidiary and is responsible for its own debts and obligations. The remaining investment on the Company’s financial statements is not material as this operation was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 1998, at which time the Company’s investment in ALSA was written down to the value of certain remaining assets. In management’s opinion based on the advice of counsel, under the terms of the award,

7

Table of Contents

any such payments would have to be forthcoming from the assets of ALSA. On December 20, 2001, ALSA’s bankruptcy was decreed, at the request of Mr. Lopez, on grounds of non-payment of the arbitration award. On December 12, 2002, Mr. Lopez filed a lawsuit with the National Commercial Court Number 13 in Buenos Aires, Argentina against the Company for the amount ordered to be paid in the Lopez Arbitration, plus unspecified damages caused by the award not having been timely paid. The Company filed an answer to the lawsuit on March 7, 2003 requesting that it be dismissed.

Since January 2002, there have been significant changes in Argentina’s monetary legislation and the value of the Argentine Peso. The rate of exchange of one Argentine Peso per one United States Dollar is no longer in force, and as of April 30, 2003 the Argentine Peso was trading at .3541 per United States Dollar. Accordingly, in the event that Mr. Lopez was ultimately successful in a U.S. court of securing payment of this award from the Company, the U.S. dollar value of the award (based upon the current rate of exchange) would be substantially reduced as compared to the amount discussed above.

In April, 2002 the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Imonex Services, Inc. (the “Plaintiff”) for patent infringement, arising from a vendor supplied coin selector, the “W2000”, used in certain of the Company’s products. The vendor, W. H. Münzprüfer Dietmar Trenner GmbH (“Münzprüfer”), has indemnified the Company and has agreed to pay and is paying for the Company’s representation in this matter. Plaintiff accused the Company, and other Münzprüfer customers (the “Defendants”), of patent infringement resulting from the sales of the W2000 within the Defendants products. Trial commenced January 6, 2003 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Following the trial the Court entered an order on April 17, 2003 rendering judgment for Imonex that the asserted patent claims are infringed, are not invalid, and were not procured by inequitable conduct. The Court indicated it will issue a permanent injunction and invited the parties to submit proposed injunction languages, and objections thereto. The Court has withheld ruling upon the issues of willful infringement, and the timelines of Imonex bringing its damage claims. The Court reduced the jury’s damage verdict from $10,350,000 ($5,382,000 against the Company with the remainder against the other Defendants) against all Defendants, to $490,295 ($267,645 against the Company with the remainder against the other Defendants) and gave Imonex the option to accept the reduced damages or have a new trial on damages. On April 28, 2003, Imonex filed an election for a new trial on damages, and filed proposed language for the injunction. The Defendants filed their objections to the injunction language on May 5, 2003. The position of the Company remains that any liability related to this lawsuit is properly borne by Münzprüfer. However, the ability of Münzprüfer to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations could require the Company to fund a portion of any ultimate settlement or award amount, and such amount could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Based upon the current status of this matter, no liability has been recorded by the Company.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

The Company and its operations are subject to comprehensive and frequently changing federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, including laws and regulations governing emissions of air pollutants, discharges of waste and storm water and the disposal of hazardous wastes. The Company is also subject to liability for the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination (including contamination caused by other parties) at the properties it owns or operates and at other properties where the Company or predecessors have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. As a result, the Company is involved, from time to time, in administrative and judicial proceedings and inquires relating to environmental matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be involved in such proceedings in the future and that the aggregate amount of future clean-up costs and other environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s

8

Table of Contents

business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that its facilities and operations are in material compliance with all environmental, health and safety laws.

Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the ultimate liability from these proceedings is difficult to determine, in the opinion of management, any additional liability will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

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

OVERVIEW

The Company believes it is the leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of stand-alone commercial laundry equipment in North America and a leader worldwide. Under the well-known brand names of Speed Queen, UniMac, Huebsch and Ajax, the Company produces a full line of commercial washing machines and dryers with load capacities from 16 to 250 pounds as well as presses and finishing equipment. The Company’s commercial products are sold to four distinct customer groups: (i) laundromats; (ii) multi-housing laundries, consisting primarily of common laundry facilities in apartment buildings, universities and military installations; (iii) on-premise laundries, consisting primarily of in-house laundry facilities of hotels, hospitals, nursing homes and prisons; and (iv) drycleaners.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this report and in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes the audited financial position and operating results of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth the Company’s historical net revenues for the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth certain condensed historical financial data for the Company expressed as a percentage of net revenues for each of the periods indicated:

Net revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased $1.4 million, or 2.2%, to $61.2 million from $59.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to higher commercial laundry revenue of $0.4 million and higher service parts revenue of $1.0 million. The increase in commercial laundry revenue was due primarily to higher North American equipment revenue of $0.9 million and higher international revenue of $0.2 million, partially offset by lower earnings from the Company’s off-balance sheet equipment financing program of $0.7 million. The increase in North American equipment revenue was primarily due to higher revenue from laundromats and multi-housing laundries, partially offset by lower revenue from on-premise laundries. The increase in service parts revenue was due to gaining back additional service part sales due to more competitive pricing practices.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 was $17.1 million. Favorable manufacturing efficiencies and a recent price increase were offset by the lower earnings from the Company’s off-balance sheet equipment financing program. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 27.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 28.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This 0.6% decrease was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased $1.2 million, or 17.6%, to $8.2 million from $7.0 million for the

10

Table of Contents

quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher pension and fringe benefit costs of $0.5 million, higher sales and marketing expenses of $0.3 million and higher independent development expenses of $0.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 13.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 11.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Operating income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased $1.2 million, or 11.9%, to $8.9 million from $10.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 14.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 16.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased $1.3 million, or 20.9%, to $7.7 million from $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Interest expense in 2003 includes an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $0.7 million related to a new interest rate swap agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of 2002. Interest expense in 2003 was also higher due to higher interest rates associated with the new swap agreement and higher letter of credit rates within the Company’s new Senior Credit Facility.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased $2.5 million to net income of $1.2 million as compared to net income of $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Net income as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 1.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 6.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 2, 2002 the Company amended and restated its May of 1998 credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. The new amended and restated credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) is comprised of a term loan facility aggregating $193.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $45.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Among other modifications, the amended and restated agreement extends the Senior Credit Facility termination date from May 5, 2003 to August 6, 2007.

The new Senior Credit Facility continues to be subject to certain financial ratios and tests, similar to those included in the prior facilities. The maximum rates of consolidated debt to EBITDA under the new Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to be reduced from 6.0 at March 31, 2003 to 5.5 at December 31, 2003. Management believes that future cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet the Company’s anticipated requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, interest payments, scheduled principal payments and other debt repayments while achieving all required covenant requirements under the new credit facilities.

The Term Loan Facility is also subject to mandatory prepayment with the proceeds of certain debt incurrences, asset sales and a portion of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in its amended and restated credit agreement dated as of August 2, 2002).

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and borrowings under its $45.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s principal uses of liquidity are to meet debt service requirements, finance the Company’s capital expenditures and provide working capital. The Company expects that capital expenditures in 2003 will not exceed $5.0 million. The

11

Table of Contents

Company expects the ongoing requirements for debt service, capital expenditures and working capital will be funded by internally generated cash flow and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company has $312.4 million of combined indebtedness outstanding, consisting of outstanding debt of $178.0 million under the Term Loan Facility, $110.0 million of senior subordinated notes and $21.2 million of junior subordinated notes, $2.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, $0.6 million of borrowings pursuant to a Wisconsin Community Development Block Grant Agreement and $0.6 million of borrowings pursuant to an equipment financing transaction with Alliant Energy – Wisconsin Power & Light Company. Letters of credit issued on the Company’s behalf under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $22.0 million at March 31, 2003. As a result, at March 31, 2003 the Company had $21.0 million of its $45.0 million Revolving Credit Facility available subject to certain limitations under the new Senior Credit Facility. After considering such limitations, which relate primarily to the maximum ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA, the Company could have borrowed $21.0 million at March 31, 2003 in additional indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The new Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly and is repayable in the following aggregate amounts:

The Company’s Asset Backed Facility provides for a total of $300.0 million in off-balance sheet financing for trade receivables and equipment loans. The finance programs have been and will continue to be structured in a manner that qualifies for off-balance sheet treatment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It is expected that under the Asset Backed Facility, the Company will continue to act as originator and servicer of the equipment financing promissory notes and the trade receivables.

The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay the interest or liquidated damages, if any, on, or to refinance, its indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend upon its future performance, which, in turn, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, management believes that future cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under the new Revolving Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet the Company’s anticipated requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, interest payments and scheduled principal payments. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company’s business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service its debt and make necessary capital expenditures after satisfying certain liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. If unable to do so, the Company may be required to refinance all or a portion of its existing debt, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be available or that any such sales of assets or additional financing could be obtained.

Historical

Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $0.5 million was principally derived from operations (net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and non-cash interest) which was partially offset by changes in working capital. The working capital investment in accounts receivable at March 31, 2003 of $9.9 million increased $4.1 million as compared to the balance of $5.8 million at December 31, 2002, which was primarily attributable to timing related to the sale of accounts receivable through the new Asset Backed Facility at March 31, 2002. The investment in beneficial interests in securitized accounts receivable at March 31, 2003 of $17.9 million decreased $2.0 million as compared to the balance of $19.9 million at December 31, 2002. The investment in notes receivable at March 31, 2003 of $9.1 million decreased $2.1 million as compared to the balance of $11.2 million at December 31, 2002, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in unsold notes carried on the Company’s books. The investment in inventory at March 31, 2003 of $27.0 million increased $1.3 million as compared to the balance of $25.7 million at December 31, 2002. Accounts payable at March 31, 2003 of $10.0 million decreased $3.8 million as compared to the balance of $13.8 million at December 31, 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $0.5 million decreased by $2.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to higher net cash used in changes in assets and liabilities of $0.6 million, and a decrease in net cash provided by operations of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The net cash impact from changes in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $0.6 million was largely due to higher accounts receivables partially offset by lower notes receivable and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 were $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Capital spending in 2003 and 2002 was principally oriented toward product enhancements and manufacturing process improvements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The company adopted SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires additional disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of the changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities during the reporting period. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements in FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending

13

Table of Contents

after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of the recognition and measurement provisions did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

During January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which clarifies the consolidation and disclosure requirements related to variable interests in a variable interest entity. A variable interest entity is an entity for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. The consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are effective immediately for interests created after January 31, 2003. For interests created before February 1, 2003, the Company is required to adopt the consolidation provisions no later than July 1, 2003. The Company is still evaluating the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation with respect to its pre-existing interests; however, qualifying special-purpose securitization entities are excluded from the consolidations requirements of this Interpretation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is potentially exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. From time to time the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate exposures and to hedge exchange rate fluctuations between United States dollars and foreign currencies. An instrument will be treated as a hedge if it is effective in offsetting the impact of volatility in the Company’s underlying exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk exposures as compared to those discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) The Company carried out an evaluation within the 90 day period prior to this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (1) are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings and (2) are adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
