NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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

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

7.    Contingencies

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

8.    Adoption of Accounting Principles

In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).

The Company has implemented the provision of SFAS No. 150 in the first quarter of 2004. Through the implementation of SFAS No. 150 the Company has classified its redeemable preferred stock units and redeemable preferred stock as liabilities. The corresponding dividend amounts to be paid to holders is recorded as interest expense beginning in the first quarter of 2004.

9.    Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

Net Sales – Engineering Services Segment: Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $21.3 million, or 331.9%, to $27.7 million from $6.4 million for the corresponding period in 2003 due to the increase in size and number of projects in process. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Engineering Services Segment had four projects with sales over $1.0 million totaling $22.5 million, compared to no such projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. This increase was partially offset with decreases in projects between $0.5 million and $1.0 million. The Engineering Services Segment had two projects with sales between $0.5 million and $1.0 million totaling $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2004, compared to four such projects totaling $3.1 million during the same period ended 2003.

Net Sales – Manufactured Products Segment: Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $2.7 million, or 12.0%, to $24.7 million from $22.0 million for the corresponding period in 2003 primarily due to increased sales of mining equipment, and electronic components, partially offset with decreased fastener sales.

Gross Profit – Engineering Services Segment: Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $0.5 million, or 41.1%, to $1.7 million from $1.2 million in the corresponding period in 2003, primarily due to the increased sales level. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit decreased to 6.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 18.9% for the corresponding period in 2003 due to lower margins earned on larger engineering services projects in 2004.

Gross Profit – Manufactured Products Segment: Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $1.6 million, or 27.0%, to $7.6 million from $6.0 million in the corresponding period in 2003 due to the higher sales level. As a percentage of net sales, the gross profit increased to 30.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 27.1% for the corresponding period in 2003. The increase was primarily due to higher margins earned from centrifugal dryers and electronic components.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $6.6 million increased $0.6 million from $6.0 million for the corresponding period in 2003 with increased employee related expenses, provisions for doubtful accounts, and estimating costs, along with decreased pension income, partially offset with the write-off of remaining financing costs related to the retired credit facility in 2003.

Interest Income: Interest income of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $0.2 million approximated the corresponding period in 2003.

Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $2.9 million increased $0.3 million or 13.0% from $2.6 million for the corresponding period in 2003. The increase was due to interest recorded on the Company’s preferred stock, and preferred stock units in accordance with FASB No. 150, and a higher debt level along with a higher interest rate incurred.

(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $1,000 increased $0.5 million from the benefit of $0.5 million for the corresponding quarter ended March 31, 2003 due to the higher income level.

Net Income (Loss): The Company recorded net income of $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $2.8 million was used by increased accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset with cash generated from net income adjusted for non-cash charges, and increased accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Included in non-cash charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was depreciation of $0.6 million and other non-cash charges of $0.2 million, partially offset with pension overfunding income of $0.1 million. Cash flows from operations for any specific period are often materially affected by the timing and amounts of cash receipts and cash disbursements related to engineering services projects.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $0.1 million consisted of capital expenditures resulting from the Company’s regular practice of upgrading and maintaining its equipment base and facilities.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $0.5 million consisted of the repayment of long-term debt.

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

Backlog

The Company’s backlog consists primarily of that portion of engineering services contracts that have been awarded but not performed and also includes open manufacturing orders. Backlog at March 31, 2004 was $76.8 million. Approximately $17.6 million relates to the Manufactured Products Segment, with the remainder of $59.2 million relating to the Engineering Services Segment. A substantial majority of current backlog is expected to be realized in the next twelve months.

Safe Harbor

Statements herein regarding the Company’s ability to meet its liquidity requirements, and the Company’s expected realization of current backlog constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Act of 1934. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Further, statements herein regarding the Company’s performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to, deterioration of relationships with, or the loss of material customers or suppliers, possible product liability claims, decreases in demand for the Company’s products, adverse changes in general market and industry conditions and any resulting inability to comply with the financial covenants imposed by the Company’s credit agreement. Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company continues to use its United States reputation to generate sales in international markets. In the three months ended March 31, 2004 approximately 9% of the Company’s net sales were attributable to services provided or products sold for use outside the United States, primarily to Australia. A portion of these net sales and cost of sales is derived from international operations which are conducted in foreign currencies. Changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and debt service capability. Sales from the Australia office of Roberts &

12

Table of Contents

Schaefer are usually denominated in Australian dollars. The majority of the Company’s foreign sales and costs originated outside the Australia office of Roberts & Schaefer are denominated in U.S. dollars. With respect to transactions denominated in foreign currencies, when possible the Company attempts to mitigate foreign exchange risk by contractually shifting the burden of the risk of currency fluctuations to the other party to the transactions. It has been the Company’s historic practice to conduct international sales in accordance with the foregoing. There can be no assurance that the Company’s strategies will ensure that the Company will be fully protected from foreign exchange risk. Foreign sales, particularly construction management projects undertaken at foreign locations, are subject to various risks, including exposure to currency fluctuations, political, religious and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade barriers, and changes in governmental policies. There can be no assurance that the Company’s foreign operations, or expansion thereof, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and debt service capability.

Elgin National Industries Inc. management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.
