Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Throughout this quarterly report, we refer to Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as “Alliance Holdings,” and, together with its consolidated operations, as “Alliance,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” unless otherwise indicated. Any reference to “Alliance Laundry” refers to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its consolidated operations, unless otherwise indicated.

The unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 present the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC, including our 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 our financial position and operating results 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 us 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 we believe the disclosures provided are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

This report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004 should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

During January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 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. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN No. 46, which replaced FIN No. 46. The revised Interpretation (“FIN 46-R”) was adopted by us beginning on January 1, 2004 for interests in entities created on or before December 31, 2003 and as of the date we first become involved with a potential variable interest entity created after December 31, 2003.

FIN 46-R provides exceptions from its scope for certain entities, including qualifying special-purpose securitization entities subject to the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 140 and business entities, as defined, that do not possess certain characteristics.

Our primary variable interests are notes receivable that have not been sold and are comprised primarily of equipment loans to laundromat operators and other end-users. Excluding notes awaiting sale, the carrying value of such loans was approximately $5.0 million at June 30, 2004. We did not enter into

any new variable interests since December 31, 2003. If in the future we are required to consolidate a variable interest entity in which one or both of our SFAS No. 140 qualifying special-purpose entities also holds a variable interest, the qualifying status of the special-purpose entity with such holdings would be eliminated. In that instance, we would be required to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of the affected securitization entity under FIN 46-R and if so, to consolidate that entity, which would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The FASB has also subsequently issued certain Staff Positions that effectively amended SFAS No. 150. The statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2004. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 150, as amended, our mandatorily redeemable preferred interests have been reclassified from mezzanine equity to the long- term liability section of our consolidated balance sheet (see Note 8).

During December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” to require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. These disclosure requirements were effective for our plans in 2003, except for estimated future benefit payments, which are effective in this quarter. This statement also requires interim-period disclosures of the components of net periodic benefit cost and, if significantly different from previously disclosed amounts, the amount of contributions and projected contributions to fund pension and other postretirement benefit plans. These interim-period disclosures have been included within our financial statement notes beginning in the first quarter of 2004 (see Note 6).

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Because our postretirement health care plan does not provide prescription drug benefits beyond age 65 (general eligibility for Medicare Part D), the Act will have no effect on our accumulated postretirement benefit obligations or net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

The FASB is expected to re-expose a proposed statement that would amend and clarify SFAS No. 140 (and related implementation guidance). The proposed statement will address permitted activities of qualifying special-purpose entities, including the degree of discretion allowable in determining the terms of beneficial interests issued after inception, and whether certain transfers can meet the criteria for sale accounting under SFAS No. 140 if the transferor or any consolidated affiliate provides liquidity support for the transferee’s beneficial interests. As the proposed statement has not been issued, we are unable to determine the effects of the related transition provisions, if any, on our existing securitization entities. However, in the event that transfers to our existing asset backed facility would no longer qualify as sales of financial assets in the future, we may recognize additional costs for a replacement facility or it may have other material financial statement effects.

Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against us. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, any liability arising thereunder will not have a material adverse effect on our 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 lost 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 his responsibilities under the Consulting Agreement and was therefore not entitled to the fees, and that ALSA was not liable for lost profits in either 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 (equivalent to $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. We believed, inasmuch as ALSA was a foreign subsidiary, ALSA was responsible for its own debts and obligations. In our opinion based on the advice of counsel, under the terms of the award, any such payments would have been 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 us for the amount ordered to be paid in the Lopez Arbitration, plus unspecified damages caused by the award not having been timely paid.

Because of the risk this lawsuit presented, we commenced settlement negotiations with Mr. Lopez in the second quarter of 2003. On July 17, 2003 a Settlement, Release, Discharge and Indemnification Agreement was entered into by Mr. Lopez and the Company. While denying any liability whatsoever, we agreed to and paid Mr. Lopez US$736,440 on August 6, 2003 and agreed to deliver to Mr. Lopez in Brazil commercial laundry equipment, free of charge, up to a cost to us of US$60,000. In consideration of the aforementioned payment and delivery of equipment, Mr. Lopez released and forever discharged, and waived any claims or rights of any nature whatsoever against the Company and a number of affiliated subsidiary companies. In addition, Mr. Lopez and his counsel signed the dismissal of the lawsuit referred to above. A provision for this settlement was recorded in the second quarter of our 2003 consolidated financial statements.

In April 2002 we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Imonex Services, Inc. for patent infringement arising from a coin selector, the “W2000”, which was a vendor-supplied component used in certain of our products. The vendor, W. H. Münzprüfer Dietmar Trenner GmbH, has indemnified us and has agreed to pay and is paying for our representation in this matter. Imonex accused us, and other Münzprüfer customers, of patent infringement resulting from the sales of the W2000 within the Münzprüfer customers’ products. Trial commenced January 6, 2003 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Following the trial, the court indicated it would enter an order rendering judgment for Imonex that the asserted patent claims were 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 timelines of Imonex bringing its damage claims. The court reduced the jury’s damage verdict from $10,350,000 ($5,382,000 against us with the remainder against the other Münzprüfer customers) to $490,295 ($267,645 against us with the remainder against the other Münzprüfer customers) 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 Münzprüfer customers filed their objections to the injunction language on May 5, 2003. On August 1, 2003, the court ruled it will not enhance any damages for willful infringement, but entered judgment for Imonex on the issues of infringement, and validity of Imonex’s patents. Imonex submitted expert reports at the new trial on damages which attempted to prove actual damages of approximately $16,267,644 (approximately $6,305,232 against us with the remainder against other Münzprüfer customers). On August 12, 2003 a preliminary injunction was issued prohibiting W2000 coin selector usage.

The trial on damages commenced August 18, 2003 and yielded a jury verdict of $1,396,873 to Imonex ($614,662 against us with the remainder against the other Münzprüfer customers). Final judgment on the August 18, 2003 jury verdict was rendered on February 9, 2004 against all the Münzprüfer customers. The final judgment included $614,662 against us, plus prejudgment interest, yielding $771,728 against us. In addition, the judgment awarded court costs to Imonex, including attorneys’ fees. On February 23, 2004, Imonex submitted an application seeking from all the Münzprüfer customers a total of $669,107 in attorneys’ fees and $133,214 in court costs. The preliminary injunction of August 12, 2003 was made permanent. The Münzprüfer customers have filed a post judgment motion seeking to have the judgment amended or set aside.

Imonex has filed a Notice of Appeal and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit set the date of docketing as March 16, 2004. Münzprüfer and the Münzprüfer customers have filed cross-appeals. Imonex has served a statement of issues that it will pursue on appeal. Imonex filed its appeal brief on May 13, 2004. Münzprüfer and the Münzprüfer customers’ appeal brief was filed on June 25, 2004. Imonex has 40 days thereafter to file a reply brief. Münzprüfer and the Münzprüfer customers will then have 14 days to file a reply brief. Once the reply briefs are filed, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will typically schedule a hearing.

Our position remains that any liability related to this lawsuit is properly borne by Münzprüfer. We believe that Münzprüfer has the ability to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations up to the amount of the final judgment. We have also reached tentative agreement with Münzprüfer as to acceptable methods of satisfying the provisions of the indemnification agreement, in the event the judgment is not appealed, or is not overturned upon appeal. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a judgment has been rendered by the court, in the fourth quarter of 2003 we recorded an appropriate payable to Imonex related to our liability and a corresponding receivable balance from Münzprüfer within our consolidated financial statements.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

We 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. We are also subject to liability for the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination (including contamination caused by other parties) at the properties we own or operate and at other properties where the Company or our predecessors have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. As a result, we are involved, from time to time, in administrative and judicial proceedings and inquires relating to environmental matters. There can be no assurance that we 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 our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe that our facilities and operations are in material compliance with all environmental, health and safety laws.

Pursuant to the terms of a $300.0 million asset backed facility, entered into in November of 2002 by a special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary of ours (the “Asset Backed Facility”), we provide credit enhancement to the note purchasers consisting of an irrevocable letter of credit, an unconditional lending commitment of the lenders under our senior credit facility, subject to certain limits. We are obligated under the reimbursement provisions of the senior credit facility to reimburse the lenders for any drawings on the credit enhancement by the facility indenture trustee. If the credit enhancement is not replenished by us after a drawing, the trust will not be permitted to request new borrowings under the Asset Backed Facility and the Asset Backed Facility will begin to amortize. The amount of the irrevocable letter of credit related to the Asset Backed Facility at June 30, 2004 was $25.4 million.

We offer warranties to our customers depending upon the specific product and the product use. Standard product warranties vary from one to three years for most parts with certain components extending to five years. Certain customers have elected to buy products without warranty coverage. The standard warranty program requires that we replace defective components within a specified time period from the date of installation. We record an estimate for future warranty related costs based on actual historical incident rates and cost per incident trends. Based on analysis of these and other factors, the carrying amount of our warranty liability is adjusted as necessary. While our warranty costs have historically been within our calculated estimates, it is possible that future warranty costs could exceed those estimates.

The changes in the carrying amount of our total product warranty liability for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

Employer Contributions

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 that we did not expect to contribute anything to our pension plan for 2004. As of June 30, 2004, $0.7 million of voluntary contributions have been made. We do not presently anticipate contributing additional funds to our pension plan in 2004. We currently anticipate making an additional voluntary contribution of approximately $0.7 million in 2005.

In April 2004, the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law allowing many corporations to reduce their required pension contributions during 2004 and 2005. The Act had no material impact on our 2004 required minimum contribution of zero.

Postretirement Health Care Plan

Our postretirement health care plan provides for prescription drug benefits. On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Because our postretirement health care plan does not provide prescription drug benefits beyond age 65 (general eligibility for Medicare Part D), the Act will have no effect on our accumulated postretirement benefit obligations or net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

2003 Executive Unit Agreements

On July 23, 2003, we amended and restated our Limited Liability Company Agreement to issue Class M Units and to issue incremental Class B Units, which in turn have been issued to certain members

12

Table of Contents

of management (each an “Executive”). These units were issued in return for the Executive’s present service to us and as an incentive for the Executive to continue to provide future services to us. These units are subject to certain terms and conditions which include vesting provisions and repurchase provisions if the Executive is no longer employed by us.

The Class M and incremental Class B Units were purchased by the Executives at a nominal value based upon the subordinated nature of such interests. Based upon a valuation of these and all other previously issued incentive units, in the second quarter of 2004 we recognized $0.7 million of compensation expense and a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. At any such time that these units would be considered to have a higher value, we would record an appropriate level of compensation expense.

Our mandatorily redeemable preferred interests (the “preferred interests”) have a liquidation value of $6.0 million. These preferred interests do not accrete, accrue or pay dividends and are redeemable at the earlier of (i) a change of control (as defined in the Alliance Laundry Holdings Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement), (ii) any initial public offering or (iii) November 5, 2009. The holders of the preferred interests are entitled to receive distributions from us in an amount equal to their unreturned capital (as defined in the Alliance Laundry Holdings Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement) prior to distributions in respect of any other membership interests of the Company.

We adopted SFAS No. 150 as of January 1, 2004, which required us to reclassify the preferred interests from mezzanine equity to the long-term liability section of our consolidated balance sheet. SFAS No. 150 requires us to measure the preferred interests at fair value at the time of adoption and at each reporting date. The preferred interests have been carried at the $6.0 million redemption amount since inception, which approximates the fair value of the preferred interests.

On April 13, 2004 we announced that Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. (“Alliance Laundry Holdings”), a company formed to be the holding company for the operations of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC and its subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed initial public offering of Income Deposit Securities (“IDSs”) representing shares of Alliance Laundry Holdings’ Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes. The registration statement also related to an offering of a separate issue of senior subordinated notes of the same series as the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs. As a result of this offering, as of June 30, 2004 we have incurred and recorded $1.3 million of offering related expense in the consolidated statement of income. In addition we have capitalized $2.0 million of debt and offering related costs in other assets within the consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with these offerings, we expect to commence a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of our outstanding $110 million aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2008.

OVERVIEW

We believe we are 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, we produce a full line of commercial washing machines and dryers with load capacities from 16 to 250 pounds as well as presses and finishing equipment. Our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes our audited financial position and operating results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth our historical net revenues for the periods indicated:

14

Table of Contents

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

Net revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased $2.4 million, or 3.3%, to $73.4 million from $71.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to higher commercial laundry revenue of $1.8 million and service parts revenue of $0.6 million. The increase in commercial laundry revenue was due primarily to higher North American equipment revenue of $0.3 million and higher international revenue of $2.1 million, which were partially offset by lower earnings from our equipment financing program of $0.6 million. Revenue for North America was higher to coin-operated laundry customers and on-premise laundry and lower to multi-housing laundry customers. Revenue for international was higher to customers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased $0.3 million, or 1.6%, to $21.1 million from $20.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to margins associated with the higher sales volume, lower depreciation expense and a recent price increase, which were partially offset by the lower earnings from our equipment financing program and nickel and chrome surcharges of $1.2 million related to stainless steel purchases. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 28.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 29.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 primarily as a result of the lower earnings from our equipment financing program.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased $0.9 million, or 11.3%, to $9.1 million from $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to non-cash incentive compensation of $0.7 million in 2004, higher sales and marketing expenses of $0.5 million and higher independent development costs of $0.2 million, which were partially offset by lower pension costs of $0.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 12.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 11.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Offering related expense. Offering related expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $0.5 million, with no similar expense in 2003. Offering related expense as a percentage of net revenues was 0.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Operating income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased $1.1 million, or 8.9%, to $11.5 million from $12.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 15.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 17.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased $2.4 million, or 31.9%, to $5.3 million from $7.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense in 2004 includes a favorable non-cash adjustment of $1.5 million to reflect changes in the fair values of an interest rate swap agreement. Interest expense in 2003 includes an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $0.7 million to reflect changes in the fair values of a similar interest rate swap agreement. Cash interest expense was lower as a result of reductions in total debt outstanding, but was partially offset by higher interest expense related to the Junior Subordinated Notes.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased $2.2 million to net income of $6.2 million as compared to net income of $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net income as a percentage of net revenues increased to 8.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 5.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

The following table sets forth our historical net revenues for the periods indicated:

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

Net revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $7.5 million, or 5.7%, to $139.6 million from $132.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to higher commercial laundry revenue of $6.7 million and higher service parts revenue of $0.8 million. The increase in commercial laundry revenue was due primarily to higher North American equipment revenue of $1.6 million, higher international revenue of $4.8 million, and higher earnings from our equipment financing program of $0.4 million. The increase in North American equipment revenues was primarily due to higher revenues from on-premise laundry and coin-operated

laundry customers, which were partially offset by lower revenues from multi-housing laundry customers. Revenue for international was higher to customers in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $4.0 million, or 10.6%, to $41.9 million from $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the margins associated with the higher sales volume, a price increase, the higher earnings from our equipment financing program and lower depreciation expense, which were partially offset by nickel and chrome surcharges of $1.9 million related to stainless steel purchases. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 30.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 28.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $1.3 million, or 8.1%, to $17.7 million from $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to non-cash incentive unit compensation of $0.7 million in 2004, higher sales and marketing expenses of $0.9 million and higher independent development costs of $0.3 million, which were partially offset by lower pension expense of $0.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Offering related expense. Offering related expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.3 million, with no similar expense in 2003. Offering related expense as a percentage of net revenues was 0.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Operating income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $1.4 million, or 6.6%, to $22.9 million from $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues increased to 16.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 16.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased $3.0 million, or 19.7%, to $12.4 million from $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense in 2004 includes a favorable non-cash adjustment of $1.1 million to reflect changes in the fair values of an interest rate swap agreement. Interest expense in 2003 includes an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $1.5 million to reflect changes in the fair values of a similar interest rate swap agreement. Cash interest expense was lower as a result of reductions in total debt outstanding, but was partially offset by higher interest expense related to the Junior Subordinated Notes.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $5.2 million to net income of $10.4 million as compared to net income of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net income as a percentage of net revenues increased to 7.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On April 13, 2004 we announced that Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. (“Alliance Laundry Holdings”), a company formed to be the holding company for the operations of Alliance Laundry Systems LLC and its subsidiaries, filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed initial public offering of Income Deposit Securities (“IDSs”) representing shares of

Alliance Laundry Holdings’ Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes. The registration statement also related to an offering of a separate issue of senior subordinated notes of the same series as the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs. As a result of this offering, as of June 30, 2004 we have incurred and recorded $1.3 million of offering related expense in the consolidated statement of income, and have capitalized $2.0 million of debt and offering related costs in the consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with these offerings, we expect to commence a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of our outstanding $110 million aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2008.

We expect to use the proceeds from the offering to repay the outstanding indebtedness under our existing senior credit facility. We will also enter into a new credit facility that will be comprised of a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”) and a senior secured term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”). We expect to use borrowings under the New Revolver for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividends and letters of credit.

The New Revolver will require that we meet certain financial tests and will contain customary covenants and restrictions.

We believe, based on currently available information, that future cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under the New Revolver, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, interest payments, dividend payments and debt repayments while achieving all required covenant requirements under the New Revolver and New Term Loan.

Our ability to make payments of principal or to refinance our indebtedness, or to pay the interest or liquidated damages, if any thereon, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend upon our future performance, which, in turn, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures after satisfying certain liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. If unable to do so, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our 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.

As of June 30, 2004, we have $282.2 million of combined indebtedness outstanding, consisting of outstanding debt of $145.0 million under our term loan facility, $110.0 million of senior subordinated notes and $26.3 million of junior subordinated notes, $0.5 million of borrowings pursuant to a Wisconsin Community Development Block Grant Agreement and $0.4 million of borrowings pursuant to an equipment financing transaction with Alliant Energy – Wisconsin Power & Light Company. At June 30, 2004 there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued on our behalf under the revolving credit facility totaled $26.9 million at June 30, 2004. As a result, at June 30, 2004 we had $18.1 million of our $45.0 million revolving credit facility available subject to certain limitations under our senior credit facility. After considering such limitations, which relate primarily to the maximum ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA, we could have borrowed $18.1 million at June 30, 2004 in additional indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.

The term loan facility amortizes quarterly and is repayable in the following aggregate amounts:

Our 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, we will continue to act as originator and servicer of the equipment financing promissory notes and the trade receivables.

Historical

Cash generated from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $16.8 million was principally derived from operations (net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, non-cash interest and non-cash incentive unit compensation) which was partially offset by changes in working capital. The working capital investment for beneficial interests in securitized accounts receivable at June 30, 2004 of $18.8 million increased $2.0 million as compared to the balance of $16.8 million at December 31, 2003, which was primarily attributable to an increase in retained interests on trade receivables sold under the new Asset Backed Facility. Other assets at June 30, 2004 of $3.9 million increased $2.2 million as compared to the balance of $1.7 million at December 31, 2003, which was primarily attributable to $2.0 million of capitalized IDS costs. The investment in accounts receivable at June 30, 2004 of $7.9 million decreased $1.3 million as compared to the balance of $9.2 million at December 31, 2003. The investment in notes receivable at June 30, 2004 of $6.3 million decreased $1.9 million as compared to the balance of $8.2 million at December 31, 2003.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $16.8 million increased by $11.9 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher cash provided by operations of $3.7 million and lower net cash used in changes in assets and liabilities of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The lower net cash impact from changes in assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $8.3 million was largely due to a $1.3 million decrease in accounts receivable held by us for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to an increase of $4.2 million for the same period in 2003. Additionally, accounts payable decreased $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, with no measurable change for the same period in 2004.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were $1.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Capital spending in both 2004 and 2003 were principally oriented toward replacement of old or obsolete machinery and manufacturing process improvements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 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. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN No. 46, which replaced FIN No. 46. The revised Interpretation (“FIN 46-R”) was adopted by us beginning on January 1, 2004 for interests in entities created on or before December 31, 2003 and as of the date we first become involved with a potential variable interest entity created after December 31, 2003.

FIN 46-R provides exceptions from its scope for certain entities, including qualifying special-purpose securitization entities subject to the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 140 and business entities, as defined, that do not possess certain characteristics.

Our primary variable interests are notes receivable that have not been sold and are comprised primarily of equipment loans to laundromat operators and other end-users. Excluding notes awaiting sale, the carrying value of such loans was approximately $5.0 million at June 30, 2004. We did not enter into any new variable interests since December 31, 2003. If in the future we are required to consolidate a variable interest entity in which one or both of our SFAS No. 140 qualifying special-purpose entities also holds a variable interest, the qualifying status of the special-purpose entity with such holdings would be eliminated. In that instance, we would be required to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of the affected securitization entity under FIN 46-R and if so, to consolidate that entity, which would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The FASB has also subsequently issued certain Staff Positions that effectively amended SFAS No. 150. The statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2004. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 150, as amended, our mandatorily redeemable preferred interests have been reclassified from mezzanine equity to the long- term liability section of our consolidated balance sheet (see Note 8).

During December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” to require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. These disclosure requirements were effective for our plans in 2003, except for estimated future benefit payments, which are effective in this quarter. This statement also requires interim-period disclosures of the components of net periodic benefit cost and, if significantly different from previously disclosed amounts, the amount of contributions and projected contributions to fund pension and other postretirement benefit plans. These interim-period disclosures have been included within our financial statement notes beginning in the first quarter of 2004 (see Note 6).

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Because our postretirement health care plan does not provide prescription drug benefits beyond age 65 (general eligibility for Medicare Part D), the Act will have no effect on our accumulated postretirement benefit obligations or net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

The FASB is expected to re-expose a proposed statement that would amend and clarify SFAS No. 140 (and related implementation guidance). The proposed statement will address permitted activities of qualifying special-purpose entities, including the degree of discretion allowable in determining the terms of beneficial interests issued after inception, and whether certain transfers can meet the criteria for sale accounting under SFAS No. 140 if the transferor or any consolidated affiliate provides liquidity support for the transferee’s beneficial interests. As the proposed statement has not been issued, we are unable to determine the effects of the related transition provisions, if any, on our existing securitization entities. However, in the event that transfers to our existing asset backed facility would no longer qualify as sales of financial assets in the future, we may recognize additional costs for a replacement facility or it may have other material financial statement effects.

We are potentially exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. From time to time we may enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge our 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 our underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures as compared to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (file no. 333-56857).

(a) We carried out an evaluation within the 90 day period prior to this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as amended (1) are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and (2) are adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 our internal controls or in other factors, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
