TITLE PART ----- ---- Proxy Statement dated April 5, 2002 Part III Except as specifically incorporated herein by reference, the foregoing Proxy Statement is not deemed filed as part of this report. 3 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS A. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The business of National Presto Industries, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company") consists of two business segments. The Housewares/Small Appliance segment manufactures and distributes small electrical appliances and housewares, including comfort appliances, pressure cookers and canners, and kitchen electrics. The Defense Products segment manufactures precision mechanical, electromechanical and electronic assembly components for the U.S. government and sub-contractors. 1. HOUSEWARES/SMALL APPLIANCE SEGMENT Electrical appliances and housewares sold by the Company include pressure cookers and canners; the Presto Control Master(R) heat control single thermostatic control line of fry pans in several sizes, griddles and combination griddle/warmers and multi-purpose cookers; deep fryers of various sizes; pizza ovens, can openers, slicer/shredders; electric heaters; corn poppers (hot air and microwave); microwave bacon cookers; coffeemakers; electric grills; electric tea kettles; electric knives; bread slicing systems; electric knife sharpeners; and timers. Pressure cookers and canners are available in various sizes and are fabricated of aluminum and, in the case of cookers, of stainless steel, as well. The Company believes it is one of the principal manufacturers of pressure cookers in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 53% of consolidated net sales were provided by cast products (fry pans, griddles, grills, deep fryers and multi- cookers), approximately 5% by motorized nonthermal appliances (can openers, slicer/shredders, knife sharpeners, electric knives, and bread slicing systems), and approximately 31% by noncast/thermal appliances (stamped cookers and canners, stainless steel cookers, pizza ovens, corn poppers [hot air and microwave], coffeemakers, microwave bacon cookers, tea kettles, and heaters). For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately 58% of consolidated net sales were provided by cast products, approximately 6% by motorized nonthermal appliances and approximately 32% by noncast/thermal appliances. For the year ended December 31, 1999, approximately 61% of consolidated net sales were provided by cast products, approximately 9% by motorized nonthermal appliances and approximately 26% by noncast/thermal appliances. For the year ended December 31, 2001, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 37% and Costco Companies accounted for 11% of consolidated net sales. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for 41% and Target, Inc. accounted for 11% of consolidated net sales in 2000. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 45% and Target, Inc. accounted for 12% of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. 4 Products are sold directly to retailers throughout the United States and also through independent distributors. Although the Company has long established relationships with many of its customers, it does not have long-term supply contracts with them. The loss of, or material reduction in, business from any of the Company's major customers could adversely affect the Company's business (see Footnote J in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company has a sales force of approximately ten employees that sell to and service customers. In selected geographic areas sales are handled by manufacturers' representatives who may also sell other product lines. Sales promotional activities are conducted through the use of television, radio and newspaper advertising. The Company's business is highly competitive and seasonal, with the normal peak sales period occurring in the fourth quarter of the year prior to the holiday season. Many companies compete for sales of housewares and small electrical appliances, some of which are larger than the Company and others which are smaller. Product competition extends to special product features, product pricing, marketing programs, warranty provisions, service policies and other factors. New product introductions are an important part of the Company's sales to offset the morbidity rate of other products and/or the effect of lowered acceptance of seasonal products due to weather conditions. New products entail unusual risks. Engineering and tooling costs are increasingly expensive, as are components and finished goods that may not have a ready market or achieve widespread consumer acceptance. High-cost advertising commitments accompanying such new products or to maintain sales of existing products may not be fully absorbed by ultimate product sales. Initial production schedules, set in advance of introduction, carry the possibility of excess unsold inventories. New product introductions are further subject to delivery delays from supply sources, which can impact availability for the Company's most active selling periods. Research and development costs related to new product development for the years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were absorbed in operations of these years and were not a material element in the aggregate costs incurred by the Company. Company products are generally warranted to the original owner to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from date of purchase. The Company allows a sixty-day over-the-counter initial return privilege through cooperating dealers. The Company services its products through independent service providers throughout the United States and a corporate service repair operation. The Company's service and warranty programs are competitive with those offered by other manufacturers in the industry. The Company's products are manufactured in plants located at Jackson, Mississippi and Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Company also purchased a portion (13% in 2001) of its products from nonaffiliated companies in the Pacific Rim Countries. The Company plans to outsource all of its products by the end of 2002 (see Footnote M in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company warehouses and distributes its products from a distribution center located in Canton, Mississippi. Selective use is made of leased tractors and trailers with back- hauls scheduled on return trips carrying goods consigned for internal corporate use. 5 The Company invests funds not currently required for business activities (see Footnote A (3) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Income from invested funds is included in Other Income in the accompanying financial statements. Earnings from investments may vary significantly from year to year depending on interest yields on instruments meeting the Company's investment criteria, and the extent to which funds may be needed for internal growth, reacquisition of Company stock, acquisitions and newly identified business activities. 2. DEFENSE PRODUCTS SEGMENT The defense products segment (AMTEC Corporation) was acquired on February 24, 2001; accordingly, net sales for this segment represents approximately ten months of activity. AMTEC manufactures precision mechanical, electromechanical and electronic assembly components for the U.S. government and sub-contractors. The Company believes that AMTEC has significant growth potential, which will come from two primary sources, new defense contracts and additional acquisitions that can be rolled up into AMTEC's operations. B. OTHER COMMENTS 1. Sources and Availability of Materials See Footnote J in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 2. Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions Held In recent years, patents on new products have become more meaningful to operating results. Trademarks and know-how are considered significant. The Company's current and future success depends upon judicial protection of its intellectual property rights (patents, trademarks and trade dress). Removal of that protection would expose the Company to competitors who seek to take advantage of the Company's innovations and proprietary rights. To date, the Company has vigorously protected its rights and enjoyed success in all its intellectual property suits. 3. Effects of Compliance with Environmental and OSHA Regulations In May 1986, the Company's Eau Claire, Wisconsin, site was placed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) because of alleged hazardous waste deposited on the property. During July 1986, the Company entered into an agreement with the EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study at the site. The remedial investigation was completed in 1992, the feasibility study in 1994, and in May 1996 the final record of decision (ROD) was issued for the site by the EPA. At year end 2001, all remediation projects at the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, site had been installed, were fully operational, and restoration activities had been completed. 6 In February 1988, the Company entered into an agreement with the Department of the Army (the 1988 agreement), pursuant to which the Army agreed to fund environmental restoration activities related to the site. As a result of the 1988 Agreement, a total of $27,000,000 has been appropriated and spent for environmental matters. Based on factors known as of December 31, 2001, it is believed that the Company's existing environmental accrued liability reserve will be adequate to satisfy on-going remediation operations and monitoring activities; however, should environmental agencies require additional studies or remediation projects, it is possible the existing accrual could be inadequate. Management believes that in the absence of any unforeseen future developments, known environmental matters will not have any material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. 4. Number of Employees of the Company As of December 31, 2001, the Company had 846 employees. 5. Industry Practices Related to Working Capital Requirements The major portion of the Company's sales were made with terms of 90 days or shorter. Inventory levels increase in advance of the selling period for products that are seasonal, such as pressure canners, heaters, and major new product introductions. Inventory build-up also occurs to create stock levels required to support the higher sales that occur in the latter half of each year. Buying practices of the Company's customers require "just-in-time" delivery, necessitating that the Company carry large finished goods inventories. The Company purchases components and raw materials in advance of production requirements where such purchases are necessary to ensure supply or provide advantageous long-term pricing and/or costing. 6. Backlog Shipment of most of the Company's products occurs within a relatively short time after receipt of the order and, therefore, there is usually no substantial order backlog. New product introductions may result in order backlogs that vary from product to product and as to timing of introduction. C. PLANT CLOSINGS See Footnote M in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. D. 2001 ACQUISITIONS See Footnote L in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 7 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (Owned Except Where Indicated) The Company's Eau Claire facility is approximately 560,000 square feet. Presto Absorbent Products, Inc. utilizes 59,000 square feet of this area. Leases for 135,000 square feet of this area have been entered into with outside tenants. The Company's corporate office is also located in Eau Claire. The Company also has manufacturing facilities in Jackson, Mississippi, Alamogordo, New Mexico and Janesville, Wisconsin. The Jackson and Alamogordo plants are scheduled to be closed as the Company is planning to outsource all of its housewares/small appliances by year end (see Note M in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Jackson plant contains 283,000 square feet, of which 119,600 square feet are used for warehousing. The facility at Alamogordo contains 170,700 square feet, of which 24,800 square feet are used for warehousing. An additional 15,500 square feet has been leased for warehousing. The Janesville facility contains 23,000 square feet and is leased. During the year, an additional 17,500 square foot building adjacent to the plant was leased for expansion. The Company has a 191,900 square foot building at Canton, Mississippi which is used primarily for warehousing and distribution and some activities for product service functions. An additional 72,200 square feet has been leased in adjacent buildings for warehousing. During the peak season, an additional 110,000 square feet has been leased. ITEM 3.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-looking statements in this report are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. In addition to the factors discussed herein and in the notes to consolidated financial statements, among the other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: consumer spending and debt levels; interest rates; continuity of relationships with and purchases by major customers; product mix; the benefit and risk of business acquisitions; competitive pressure on sales and pricing; increases in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing, and the impact of closing certain U.S. production facilities. Additional information concerning those and other factors is contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the Form 10-K, copies of which are available from the Company without charge. 2001 COMPARED TO 2000 Net sales increased by $153,000 from $119,604,000 to $119,757,000 or .1%. This slight increase was primarily attributable to incremental sales of $6,999,000 associated with the 2001 AMTEC (defense) acquisition, offset by the shipment of fewer units of housewares/small appliances at reduced prices. Gross profit for 2001 decreased $10,309,000 from $35,680,000 to $25,371,000 or 30% versus 21% as a percentage of net sales. Gross profit contribution by the defense segment was $1,767,000 or 25%. The reduction of gross profit percentage was primarily due to the reduced prices demanded by housewares/small appliance retailers and the inability to pass on the Company's increased manufacturing costs for these goods. It is not anticipated that product pricing will increase - further decreases are possible. The decision to outsource housewares/small appliances (see Note M) is expected to ultimately decrease manufacturing costs. However, those decreases are not expected to be realized until at least 2003, given the need to continue domestic production at reduced rates (and hence reduced burden absorption) while the new sources tool, manufacture and ship product. Additional inventory may need to be carried to assure that customer requirements are met. Selling and general expenses decreased $6,252,000 largely due to decreased advertising expenses. This decrease was primarily due to reduced television advertisement of the Presto Pizzazz(TM) pizza oven which was introduced in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, selling and general expenses decreased from 22% to 17%. Selling and general expense for defense was $520,000. The fiscal 2001 fourth quarter includes a $7,653,000 charge related to closing the Company's manufacturing operations in Jackson, Mississippi and Alamogordo, New Mexico, and transferring all production of PRESTO brand housewares/small appliances to manufacturers in the Pacific Rim. Other income, principally interest, decreased $2,363,000 from $10,328,000 to $7,965,000. The average daily investment decreased from $209,736,000 to $197,719,000 primarily as a result of business acquisitions and the purchase of treasury stock. 12 Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $13,193,000 from $19,328,000 to $6,135,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $4,170,000 to a benefit of $151,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate decrease from 22% to a tax benefit of 3%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings decreased $8,872,000 from $15,158,000 to $6,286,000, or 59%. 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 Net sales increased by $3,199,000 from $116,405,000 to $119,604,000 or 3%. The increase was due primarily to the sale of new products offset in part by decreased unit volume. Gross profit for 2000 decreased $1,151,000 from $36,831,000 to $35,680,000 or 30% versus 32% as a percentage of net sales. The reduction of gross profit percentage was largely caused by less favorable manufacturing efficiencies at the Company's manufacturing facilities. Selling and general expenses increased $9,613,000 largely due to increased advertising expenses related to the introduction of the Pizzaz(R) pizza oven. As a percentage of net sales, selling and general expenses increased from 15% to 22%. Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $9,849,000 from $29,177,000 to $19,328,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $8,355,000 to $4,170,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate decrease from 29% to 22%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings decreased $5,664,000 from $20,822,000 to $15,158,000, or 27%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital decreased by $12,803,000 to $207,856,000 at December 31, 2001. The Company's current ratio was 5.3 to 1.0 at fiscal 2001 year-end, compared to 6.1 to 1.0 at the end of fiscal 2000. The decrease is primarily due to business acquisitions (see Note L), the repurchase of treasury stock, and the payment of dividends in excess of current year earnings. In 2000, the Company introduced its Presto Pizzazz(R) pizza oven. The Company experienced disappointing sales of this product in 2000 which accounted for lower than normal accounts receivable and higher than normal finished goods inventory. During 2001, sales of the oven occurred primarily in the fourth quarter at reduced prices in selected test markets supported by new television commercials. Given the success of this program, the Company plans to expand it in 2002. Although advertising expenditures will increase in 2002 to support the pizza oven program, overall the program is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that align with its business segments and will make further acquisitions or capital investments in these segments if the appropriate return on investment for the associated risk is projected. In connection with the plant closing discussed above, the Company expects to make further investments in tooling and incur other costs to initiate the outsourced manufacturing of products for the housewares/small appliance segment during 2002. The Company has substantial liquidity in the form of cash and marketable securities to meet all of its anticipated capital requirements, to make dividend payments, and to fund growth through acquisitions and other means. Further, it has the ability to fund losses, should they occur, in connection with the transition to outsourced foreign manufacturing of products for the housewares/small appliance segment. As of December 31, 2001 there were no material capital commitments outstanding. 13 ITEM 7A. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's interest income on cash equivalents and investments is affected by changes in interest rates in the United States. The Company's investments are held primarily in municipal bonds, a majority of which earn a fixed rate of interest, while the remaining bonds earn a variable interest rate. The Company uses sensitivity analysis to determine its exposure to changes in interest rates. Through December 31, 2001, changes in these rates have not had a material effect on the Company, and the Company does not anticipate that future exposure to interest rate market risk will be material. The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing in derivative financial instruments. Most transactions with international customers are entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges. Any transactions that are currently entered into in foreign currency are not deemed material to the financial statements. Thus, the exposure to foreign exchange market risk is not material. ITEM 8.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (1) USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: In preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from the estimates used by management. (2) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Presto Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. (3) CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES: The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with an original maturity of one week or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalent securities totaled $83,632,000 and $75,853,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities are diversely invested, principally in A-rated or higher tax exempt bonds issued by governmental entities throughout the United States. The Company has classified all cash equivalents and marketable securities as available for sale which requires the securities to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, cost approximated market value for all securities using the specific identification method. The contractual maturities of the marketable securities held at December 31, 2001 were $53,942,000 in 2002, $18,031,000 in 2003, $7,762,000 in 2004, $25,866,000 beyond 2004 and $1,391,000 with indeterminate maturities. (4) INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined principally on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. (5) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. For machinery and equipment, all amounts which are fully depreciated have been eliminated from both the asset and allowance accounts. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their service lives which are estimated at fifteen to forty years for buildings and three to seven years for machinery and equipment. (6) REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue when product is shipped. The Company provides for its 60-day over-the-counter return privilege and warranties at the time of shipment for housewares/small appliance sales. Early payment discounts are deducted in arriving at net sales. (7) ADVERTISING: The Company's policy is to expense advertising as incurred for the year. Advertising expense was $9,605,000, $15,195,000 and $6,876,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999. (8) STOCK OPTIONS: The intrinsic value method is used for valuing stock options issued. (9) RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 and 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2001 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not effect net earnings or stockholders' equity as previously reported. F-7 B. INVENTORIES: The amount of inventories valued on the LIFO basis was $27,759,000 and $30,440,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Under LIFO, inventories are valued at approximately $10,979,000 and $11,244,000 below current cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The Company uses the LIFO method of inventory accounting to improve the matching of costs and revenues. The following table describes that which would have occurred if LIFO inventories had been valued at current cost determined on a FIFO basis: Increase (Decrease) ------------------- Cost of Net Earnings Year Sales Earnings Per Share ---- ----- -------- --------- 2001 $ 266,000 $ (164,920) $ (0.02) 2000 (368,000) 228,000 0.03 1999 (286,000) 177,000 0.02 This information is provided for comparison with companies using the FIFO basis. Inventory for defense and absorbent products are valued under the first-in-first-out method and total $5,481,000 at December 31, 2001. This total is comprised of $1,030,000 of finished goods, $3,443,000 of work in process, and $1,008,000 of raw material and supplies. C. ACCRUED LIABILITIES: At December 31, 2001 accrued liabilities consisted of payroll $3,143,000, insurance $17,230,000, environmental $2,915,000, plant closing costs $1,399,000, employee termination $637,000 and other $1,724,000. At December 31, 2000 accrued liabilities consisted of payroll $2,767,000, insurance $15,923,000, environmental $3,320,000 and other $2,415,000. D. TREASURY STOCK: As of December 31, 2001, the Company has authority from the Board of Directors to reacquire an additional 521,000 shares. During 2001 and 2000, 48,200 and 338,600 shares were reacquired. Treasury shares have been used for the exercise of stock options and to fund the Company's 401(k) contributions. E. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic net earnings per share amounts have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive. Options to purchase 7,500; 8,750; and 10,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $39.39, $39.41 and $39.43 were outstanding at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. F. STOCK OPTION PLAN: The National Presto Industries, Inc. Stock Option Plan reserves 100,000 shares of common stock for key employees. Stock options for 7,500 shares at a weighted average price of $39.39 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2001. Stock options for 8,750 shares at a weighted average price of $39.41 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2000. There were 1,250 shares exercisable at $39.39 at December 31, 2001 and 1,250 shares exercisable at $39.41 at December 31, 2000. The pro forma effect of accounting for stock options using the fair value method is not material. F-8 G. RETIREMENT PLANS: PENSION PLANS: The Company has pension plans which cover the majority of employees. Pension benefits are based on an employee's years of service and compensation near the end of those years of service. The Company's funding policy has been to contribute such amounts as necessary, computed on an actuarial basis, to provide the plans with assets sufficient to meet the benefits to be paid to plan members. Plan assets consist primarily (74%) of interest bearing securities with the balance in corporate stocks, principally National Presto Industries, Inc. common stock. (In Thousands) Pension benefits ------------------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Net periodic benefit cost $ 736 $ 529 $ 713 ==================================== Fair value of plan assets $ 10,132 $ 8,656 Benefit obligation 10,755 9,683 ----------------------- Funded status (623) (1,027) Unrecognized actuarial loss 3,829 2,941 Unrecognized prior service cost 743 1,039 Unrecognized net transition obligation (83) (187) ----------------------- Prepaid benefit $ 3,866 $ 2,766 ======================= WEIGHTED-AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS AS OF DECEMBER 31: Discount rate 7.25% 7.50% Expected return on plan assets 8.00% 8.00% Rate of compensation increase 5.00% 5.00% 401(k) PLAN: The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan that covers substantially all employees. At its discretion, the Company will match up to 50% of the first 4% contributed by employees to the plan. The matching contribution can be made with either cash or common stock. Contributions made from the treasury stock, including the Company's cash dividends, totaled $212,000 in 2001, $209,000 in 2000, and $187,000 in 1999. F-9 H. INCOME TAXES: The following table summarizes the provision for income taxes: (In thousands) -------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Current: Federal $ 1,790 $ 3,345 $ 6,817 State 402 627 1,336 -------------------------------- 2,192 3,972 8,153 -------------------------------- Deferred: Federal (2,013) 170 169 State (330) 28 33 -------------------------------- (2,343) 198 202 -------------------------------- Total tax provision (benefit) $ (151) $ 4,170 $ 8,355 ================================ The effective rate of the provision (benefit) for income taxes as shown in the consolidated statements of earnings differs from the applicable statutory federal income tax rate for the following reasons: Percent of Pre-tax Income -------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State tax 0.8% 2.2% 3.0% Tax exempt interest and dividends -37.3% -14.9% -9.2% Other -1.0% -0.7% -0.2% -------------------------------- Effective rate -2.5% 21.6% 28.6% ================================ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of the cumulative temporary differences resulting in a net deferred tax asset are as follows at December 31: (In thousands) --------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Insurance $ 6,616 $ 6,114 Environmental 1,119 1,275 Pension (1,521) (1,368) Plant Closing 2,939 -- Other 734 1,474 --------------------- $ 9,887 $ 7,495 ===================== I. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has been investigated by the SEC regarding its status under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The matter is currently pending before the SEC's Commissioners for final determination. In addition, the Company is involved in other routine litigation incidental to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material affect on the Company's consolidated financial position. F-10 J. CONCENTRATIONS: For the year ended December 31, 2001, two customers accounted for 37% and 11% of net sales. Two customers accounted for 41% and 11% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2000. Two customers accounted for 45% and 12% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The preceding concentrations related to housewares/small appliance sales. As discussed in Note M, the Company has decided to cease manufacturing housewares/small appliances in its U.S. plants, close those facilities, and purchase products from overseas sources. This decision could have an adverse effect on production of the balance of the products scheduled to be produced in the U.S. due to possible difficulties with continuity of the workforce and material supplies. Similarly, deliveries from overseas sources could be disrupted by labor or supply problems at the vendors, or transportation delays. As a consequence, products may not be available in sufficient quantities during the prime selling period. The company has made and will continue to make every reasonable effort to prevent these problems; however, there is no assurance that its efforts will be totally effective. K. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES: ENVIRONMENTAL: As of December 31, 1998, all remediation projects required at the Company's Eau Claire, Wisconsin, site had been installed, were fully operational, and restoration activities had been completed. Based on factors known as of December 31, 2001, it is believed that the Company's existing environmental accrued liability reserve, will be adequate to satisfy on-going remediation operations and monitoring activities; however, should environmental agencies require additional studies or remediation projects, it is possible that the existing accrual could be inadequate. Management believes that in the absence of any unforeseen future developments, known environmental matters will not have any material affect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. L. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS: On February 24, 2001 the Company acquired the outstanding stock of AMTEC Corporation, a supplier to the defense industry, for cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with all assets and liabilities recorded at fair market value. At the date of the acquisition, total assets were approximately $8,500,000. An additional $650,000 of purchase consideration is contingently payable to the previous shareholders of AMTEC based on meeting certain "Earn-Out Amounts" during each of the two (2) remaining Earn-Out Measurement Periods as defined in the Purchase Agreement. On November 19, 2001 the Company purchased two state-of-the-art high speed diaper machines and assumed other liabilities in the acquisition of the existing customer base of RMED International, Inc. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with no goodwill recognized. At the date of the acquisition, total assets were approximately $7,300,000. F-11 M. PLANT CLOSING: Throughout 2001, the Company continued to experience pricing pressure and was unable to achieve adequate selling margins. Consequently, the Company determined it would need to lower its product costs in order to remain competitive. In November 2001, the Company announced that continued erosion of product pricing resulted in its decision to cease manufacturing housewares/small appliances in its U.S. plants, close those facilities, and purchase products from overseas sources. The Company will close its manufacturing facilities in Alamogordo, New Mexico and Jackson, Mississippi during the third and fourth quarters of 2002 as the newly sourced products are initially received. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to see any significant gross margin improvement until at least fiscal 2003. See Note J. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company completed the development of its exit plan to outsource the U.S. manufacturing of its housewares/small appliances. In connection with the exit plan the Company recorded total charges in the fourth quarter in the amount of $7,653,000 or $.70 per share, net of tax. The charge includes $5,617,000 for impairment of principally machinery and equipment, $880,000 for the write down of inventory recorded in cost of sales, $637,000 for involuntary employee termination benefits and other exit costs of $519,000. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company expects to record an additional charge of approximately $4,000,000 related primarily to involuntary termination benefits. There may be additional charges later in the year. The outsourcing of product may also have an impact on the Company's method of accounting for inventory. A study of the possible impact is ongoing. N. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method and certain intangible assets acquired in business combinations to be recorded separately from goodwill if certain requirements are met. The Company does not expect SFAS 141 to effect the Company's consolidated financial statements. SFAS 142 becomes effective for the Company beginning in January 2002, after which goodwill will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. The statement also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company does not expect this statement to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, other than the cessation of goodwill amortization. The amount of goodwill amortization for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $210,000, based on an estimated 15 year life. There was no goodwill amortization in 2000 or 1999. In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS 144 combines the two accounting models for disposals of long-lived assets from SFAS 121 and APB 30. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company recorded an impairment of certain long-lived assets associated with its plant closings discussed in Note M, under the provision of SFAS 121. The Company has reviewed the provisions of SFAS 144 and does not believe the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. F-12 The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration to a Reseller on the Vendor's Products". This Consensus provides guidance on the recognition and accounting for vendor consideration such as buydowns, and cooperative advertising. The Company does engage in cooperative advertising programs and accounts for its cooperative advertising as two separate transactions (revenue and advertising expense) as the Company receives an identifiable benefit in return for the consideration, and the Company can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. As a result, EITF 00-25 which is being adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002 is not anticipated to have a material affect on its consolidated financial statements. O. BUSINESS SEGMENTS: Historically the Company has operated in one business segment, housewares/small appliances. As described in Note L, the Company completed two acquisitions during 2001 with one acquisition achieving the level of a reportable segment. The Company identifies its segments based on the Company's organization structure, which is primarily by principal products. The principal product groups are housewares/small appliances and defense. Housewares/small appliances is the Company's main product line which has historically manufactured and distributed small electrical appliances and housewares. These products are sold directly to retail outlets throughout the United States and also through independent distributors. Many of the products have been manufactured in Alamogordo, New Mexico and Jackson, Mississippi while other products are imported from nonaffiliated companies in the Pacific Rim countries. As more fully described in Note M, the Company intends to exit U.S. manufacturing and source all housewares/small appliance products from foreign sources. The defense segment was acquired in February 2001 and manufactures precision mechanical, electromechanical and electronic assembly components for the U.S. government and sub-contractors. The defense segment manufacturing plant is located in Janesville, Wisconsin. The absorbent product line was acquired on November 19, 2001. This segment manufactures diapers at the Company's facilities in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The products are sold to retail outlets and distributors. This segment operated for approximately one month and its minor operating activity and assets were included with the housewares/small appliance segment in 2001. In the following summary, operating profit represents earnings before other income, principally interest income and income taxes. F-13 The Company's segments operate discretely from each other with no shared manufacturing facilities. Costs associated with corporate activities (such as cash and marketable securities management) are included within housewares/small appliances for all periods presented.
