See notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 8 WERNER HOLDING CO. (PA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECAPITALIZATION Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Werner Holding Co. (PA), Inc., ("Holding (PA)") include its accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Werner Holding Co. (DE), Inc. ("Issuer") and the Issuer's wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). Holding (PA) has no substantial operations or assets, other than its investment in the Issuer. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Holding (PA) are substantially the same as those of the Issuer. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair financial presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts for 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 interim period presentation. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was originally required to be adopted by the Company in 2000. In September 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137 (SFAS No. 137), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 137 deferred the date by which the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 to 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, which amends SFAS No. 133 relating to a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that the Company recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of such derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other non-owner equity changes until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The portion of a derivative's change in fair value, if unrelated to a hedge, will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not yet determined what effect SFAS No. 133, as amended, will have on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The Recapitalization In 1997, the Company entered into a recapitalization agreement (the "Agreement") with certain affiliates of INVESTCORP S.A. ("Investcorp") and certain other international investors organized by Investcorp (collectively, the "Investors"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company's common stock was reclassified and the Company redeemed certain shares of its reclassified stock for $330,700 and a market participation right, and sold to the Investors newly created common shares for $122,700 representing 67% of the outstanding voting equity of the Company (all of which actions together constituted the "Recapitalization"). The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization and as such the historical basis of the Company's assets and liabilities was not affected. The Recapitalization was funded 6 9 WERNER HOLDING CO. (PA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECAPITALIZATION -- CONTINUED through borrowings under a senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Senior Credit Facility"), the issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"), and the proceeds from the sale of stock to the Investors.

C. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims incident to the normal conduct of its business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal proceeding, the Company believes that such legal proceedings and claims individually and in the aggregate are either without merit, covered by insurance or adequately reserved for, and will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In March 1998, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania entitled Elizabeth Werner, et al v. Eric J. Werner, et al (Civil Action No. 98-503). The action purports, in part, to be brought derivatively on behalf of Holding (PA) and, in part, to be brought on behalf of plaintiffs individually against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The aspect of the case purportedly brought on behalf of Holding (PA) alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by various members of the Company's management arising out of, among other things, the issuance of restricted stock to management of the Company in 1992 and 1993. Holding (PA)'s Board of Directors referred the matter to a special committee of disinterested directors to investigate the merits of the claim and to take appropriate actions on behalf of Holding (PA). After a detailed investigation, the special committee recommended that the derivative claims not be pursued by or on behalf of Holding (PA). Accordingly, all the defendants made motions to dismiss the derivative claims. Pursuant to an amendment to the complaint filed by plaintiffs on March 29, 1999, the only remaining corporate defendant in this action is Holding (PA). Pursuant to the same amendment, the only remaining derivative claim asserted by the plaintiffs is a claim for excessive compensation, not relating to the restricted stock issuances. The aspect of the case purportedly brought on behalf of plaintiffs individually against the Company appears to arise out of the 1992 and 1993 restricted stock issuances as well as certain alleged misrepresentations by representatives of the Company. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages in an unspecified amount. In May 1999, the magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation ruling that all of the Plaintiffs' claims be dismissed. The District Court issued a Memorandum Order on August 4, 1999 granting the motion to dismiss all remaining claims against all defendants without prejudice and adopted the magistrate judge's report as the opinion of the District Court. The plaintiffs have filed an appeal, which is currently pending before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 7 10 WERNER HOLDING CO. (PA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) D. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company classifies its business in two segments: Climbing Products, which includes aluminum, fiberglass and wood ladders, scaffolding, stages and planks; and Extruded Products, which includes aluminum extrusions and fabricated components. The Company's reportable segments are based on the characteristics of the product and the markets and distribution channels through which the products are sold. The composition of segments and measure of segment profitability are consistent with that used by the Company's management. The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating profit. There has not been a material change in total assets, the basis of segmentation or the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from that disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Net sales and operating profit (loss) of the Company's segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

Corporate and Other includes various corporate expenses and eliminations. Operating profit for the Climbing Products segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 includes the impact of a $1,400 charge related to plant shutdown costs -- see Note F. E. SALES OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The undivided interest in accounts receivable is the net residual interest associated with accounts receivable sold under a receivables purchase agreement. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had sold $95,863 and $88,393 of accounts receivable in exchange for $33,000 and $20,000 in cash and an undivided interest in the accounts receivable of $62,863 and $68,393, respectively. The ongoing cost associated with the receivables purchase agreement, which represents a return to investors in the purchased interests, is reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations in "Other income (expense), net". 8 11 WERNER HOLDING CO. (PA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) F. PLANT SHUTDOWN COSTS During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company adopted a plan to close its Goshen, Indiana and Swainsboro, Georgia facilities. The facilities, which were leased as part of the Keller acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1999, are being closed to improve efficiency and reduce the Company's overall manufacturing and distribution costs. Production at these facilities will be absorbed by the Company's other manufacturing facilities. Plant shutdown costs of $1,400 to cover the estimated costs associated with closing these facilities were recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The plan reflects the elimination of approximately 240 jobs primarily in manufacturing functions. The affected employees are entitled to receive severance, vacation and other benefits totaling approximately $372 of which $152 has been recorded in the second quarter. The remainder will be recorded in the third quarter upon notification of employees. The charge includes other estimated exit costs of $1,248 which include continuing lease payments, security and other costs applicable to the leased facilities through the end of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The payment of these costs is expected to extend through December 31, 2001. No plant shutdown costs were paid as of June 30, 2000. G. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION In connection with the Recapitalization in 1997, the Company refinanced substantially all of its outstanding debt through borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the Notes. The issuer of the refinanced debt is Werner Holding Co. (DE), Inc. (the "Issuer"). Holding (PA) has provided a full, unconditional, joint and several guaranty of the Issuer's obligations under the Senior Credit Facility and the Notes. In addition, the Issuer's wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for Werner Funding Corporation, (collectively referred to as the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") have provided full, unconditional, joint and several guarantees of the Senior Credit Facility and the Notes. Following is condensed consolidated information for Holding (PA) (the "Parent Company"), the Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and Werner Funding Corporation (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiary"). Separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they would not provide additional information that is material to investors. Therefore, each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is combined in the presentation below. Further, separate financial statements of the Issuer have not been provided as management has determined that they would not provide information that is material to investors, as the Issuer has no substantial operations or assets, other than its investment in its subsidiaries. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Earnings of subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the respective investment accounts of the Parent Company and the Issuer. The investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

13 16 WERNER HOLDING CO. (PA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document and the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This document contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and other uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. In the text below, financial statement amounts have been rounded and the percentage changes are based on the financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 Net Sales. Net sales increased $15.7 million or 12.6% to $140.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $124.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Net sales of climbing products increased $14.7 million or 15.0% to $112.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $98.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Approximately half of the increase in net sales of climbing products was attributable to Keller brand ladder sales arising from the Keller business acquired in the fourth quarter of 1999 (the "Keller acquisition"). Excluding the effects of the Keller acquisition, net sales of climbing products increased $7.2 million or 7.3% which was primarily due to higher unit sales volumes. Net sales of extruded products of $27.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by $1.0 million or 3.9% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net sales of extruded products was due primarily to the impact of higher unit sales volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $0.5 million or 1.4% to $37.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $36.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of climbing products. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased to 26.5% from 29.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This decrease in the gross profit margin percentage principally resulted from sales of Keller brand ladders manufactured at the facilities included in the Keller acquisition, a change in product mix to a higher volume of lower priced products and higher raw material prices. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a decline of $0.6 million or 7.5%. The decline is primarily due to reduced consulting and compensation expenses which more than offset increases due to the Keller acquisition. Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling and distribution expenses increased $0.9 million or 5.9% to $15.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $14.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes partially attributable to the Keller acquisition as well as increased distribution expenses resulting from higher freight rates on inventory transfers and the start-up of a new warehouse facility. Plant Shutdown Costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company adopted a plan to close its Goshen, Indiana and Swainsboro, Georgia facilities and recorded plant shutdown costs of $1.4 million to cover the estimated costs associated with closing these facilities. The facilities, which were leased as part of the Keller acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1999, are being closed to improve efficiency and reduce the Company's overall manufacturing and distribution costs. Production at these facilities will be absorbed by the Company's other manufacturing facilities. The plan reflects the elimination of approximately 240 jobs primarily in manufacturing functions. Payments to affected employees will approximate $0.4 million, $0.2 million of which was recorded in the 14 17 current quarter. Other exit costs recorded in the current quarter total $1.2 million. The payment of these costs is expected to extend through December 31, 2001. No plant shutdown costs were paid as of June 30, 2000. Operating Profit. Operating profit declined $1.2 million to $13.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Operating profit of the Climbing Products segment declined $2.4 million, including $1.4 million related to plant shutdown costs, to $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $13.9 million in the second quarter of 1999. The remainder of the decrease is primarily due to increases in the cost of raw materials and higher manufacturing and distribution costs. Operating profit of the Extruded Products segment of $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by $0.4 million over operating profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to higher sales volumes. Corporate and Other expenses decreased $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to lower consulting expenses in the current quarter. Other Income (Expense), Net. Other (expense), net was $(0.2) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to other (expense), net of $(0.1) million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The difference was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the receivables purchase agreement due to higher interest rates and greater utilization during the current quarter. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $6.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates. Income Taxes. In accordance with APB Opinion 28, at the end of each interim period the Company shall make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined shall be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The effective tax rate shall include the effect of any valuation allowance expected to be necessary at the end of the year for deferred tax assets related to originating deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards during the year. Accordingly, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rates as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and appropriately adjusted the quarterly periods then ended. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 approximates the effective tax rate of the same quarter last year. The difference between the statutory and effective tax rates at both June 30, 2000 and 1999 was primarily due to state taxes (net of federal benefit) and estimated income tax accruals. Net Income. Net income declined by $0.9 million to $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from net income of $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as a result of all of the above factors. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 Net Sales. Net sales increased $39.3 million or 17.1% to $269.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $230.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net sales of climbing products increased $37.3 million or 20.9% to $216.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $178.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Approximately half of the increase in net sales of climbing products was attributable to Keller brand ladder sales. Excluding the effects of the Keller acquisition, net sales of climbing products increased $18.2 million or 10.2% which was primarily due to higher unit sales volumes. Net sales of extruded products of $53.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by $2.0 million or 3.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net sales of extruded products was due primarily to the impact of higher unit sales volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2.3 million or 3.5% to $69.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of climbing products. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased to 25.8% from 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease in the gross profit margin percentage principally resulted from sales of Keller brand ladders manufactured at the facilities included in the 15 18 Keller acquisition, a change in product mix to a higher volume of lower priced products and higher raw material prices. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decline of $0.7 million or 4.2%. The decline is primarily due to reduced consulting and compensation expenses which more than offset increases due to the Keller acquisition. Selling and Distribution Expenses. Selling and distribution expenses increased $2.1 million or 7.6% to $30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes partially attributable to the Keller acquisition as well as increased distribution expenses resulting from higher freight rates on inventory transfers and the start-up of a new warehouse facility. Plant Shutdown Costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company adopted a plan to close its Goshen, Indiana and Swainsboro, Georgia facilities and recorded plant shutdown costs of $1.4 million to cover the estimated costs associated with closing these facilities. The facilities, which were leased as part of the Keller acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1999, are being closed to improve efficiency and reduce the Company's overall manufacturing and distribution costs. Production at these facilities will be absorbed by the Company's other manufacturing facilities. The plan reflects the elimination of approximately 240 jobs primarily in manufacturing functions. Payments to affected employees will approximate $0.4 million, $0.2 million of which was recorded in the current quarter. Other exit costs recorded in the current quarter total $1.2 million. The payment of these costs is expected to extend through December 31, 2001. No plant shutdown costs were paid as of June 30, 2000. Operating Profit. Operating profit declined by $0.5 million to $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Operating profit of the Climbing Products segment declined by $0.5 million to $20.8 million in the first six months of 2000 from $21.3 million in the prior year period. Excluding the effects of the charge of $1.4 million related to plant shutdown costs, operating profit of climbing products increased $0.9 million to $22.2 million. The increase is primarily due to increased sales volumes partially offset by increases in the cost of raw materials and higher manufacturing and distribution costs. Operating profit of the Extruded Products segment decreased $2.2 million to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in Extruded Products operating profit was caused by greater volumes of lower margin products. Corporate and Other expenses decreased $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to lower consulting expenses in the current period. Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income, net was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to other (expense), net of $(0.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The difference was primarily attributable to higher royalty and other income partially offset by the increased costs associated with the receivables purchase agreement due to higher interest rates and greater utilization during the current period. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.5 million to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates. Income Taxes. In accordance with APB Opinion 28, at the end of each interim period the Company shall make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined shall be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The effective tax rate shall include the effect of any valuation allowance expected to be necessary at the end of the year for deferred tax assets related to originating deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards during the year. Accordingly, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 approximates the effective tax rate of the same period last year. 16 19 The difference between the statutory and effective tax rates at both June 30, 2000 and 1999 was primarily due to state taxes (net of federal benefit) and estimated income tax accruals. Net Income. Net income declined by $0.4 million to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from net income of $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as a result of all of the above factors. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company satisfies its working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements primarily through a combination of operating cash flow, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and sales of accounts receivable under a receivables purchase agreement with a financial institution (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"). The Company believes it has sufficient funds available in the upcoming year to support debt service requirements, projected capital expenditures and working capital needs based on projected results of operations, availability under the Senior Credit Facility, and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in cash provided by the Receivables Purchase Agreement and a decrease in inventories. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in the current period was partially offset by declines in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to net cash used of $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures for various capital projects, including information systems and increased capacity. Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to net cash used of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 which partially reflects a decrease in the net cash used for common stock transactions and a decrease in cash overdrafts. SEASONALITY, WORKING CAPITAL AND CYCLICALITY Sales of certain products of the Company are subject to seasonal variation. Demand for the Company's climbing products is affected by residential housing starts and existing home sales, commercial construction activity and overall home improvement expenditures. The residential and commercial construction markets are sensitive to cyclical changes in the economy. Due to seasonal factors associated with the construction industry, sales of climbing products and working capital requirements are typically higher during the second and third quarters than at other times of the year. The Company expects to use the Senior Credit Facility and the Receivables Purchase Agreement to meet any seasonal variations in its working capital requirements. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was originally required to be adopted by the Company in 2000. In September 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137 (SFAS No. 137), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 137 deferred the date by which the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 to 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, which amends SFAS No. 133 relating to a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that the Company recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of such derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other non-owner equity changes until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The portion of a derivative's change in fair value, if unrelated to a hedge, will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not yet determined what effect SFAS No. 133, as amended, will have on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 17 20 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on long-term debt obligations. The Company manages such risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. Currently, the Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate risk. There have been no material changes in market risk from changes in interest rates from that disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company does not have material operations in foreign countries. International sales were not material to the Company's operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to material foreign currency exchange risk. To date, the Company has not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments relative to foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is also exposed to market risk from changes in the price of aluminum. The Company manages such risk through the use of aluminum futures and options contracts. There have been no material changes in market risk from changes in the price of aluminum from that disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. 18 21 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims incident to the normal conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In March 1998, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania entitled Elizabeth Werner, et al v. Eric J. Werner, et al (Civil Action No. 98-503). The action purports, in part, to be brought derivatively on behalf of Holding (PA) and, in part, to be brought on behalf of plaintiffs individually against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. The aspect of the case purportedly brought on behalf of Holding (PA) alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by various members of the Company's management arising out of, among other things, the issuance of restricted stock to management of the Company in 1992 and 1993. Holding (PA)'s Board of Directors referred the matter to a special committee of disinterested directors to investigate the merits of the claim and to take appropriate actions on behalf of Holding (PA). After a detailed investigation, the special committee recommended that the derivative claims not be pursued by or on behalf of Holding (PA). Accordingly, all the defendants made motions to dismiss the derivative claims. Pursuant to an amendment to the complaint filed by plaintiffs on March 29, 1999, the only remaining corporate defendant in this action is Holding (PA). Pursuant to the same amendment, the only remaining derivative claim asserted by the plaintiffs is a claim for excessive compensation, not relating to the restricted stock issuances. The aspect of the case purportedly brought on behalf of plaintiffs individually against the Company appears to arise out of the 1992 and 1993 restricted stock issuances as well as certain alleged misrepresentations by representatives of the Company. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages in an unspecified amount. In May 1999, the magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation ruling that all of the Plaintiffs' claims be dismissed. The District Court issued a Memorandum Order on August 4, 1999 granting the motion to dismiss all remaining claims against all defendants without prejudice and adopted the magistrate judge's report as the opinion of the District Court. The plaintiffs have filed an appeal, which is currently pending before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. ITEM 4.
