General - ------- The Company is primarily engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing marine engine and air-conditioning products. The Company was organized in 1932 and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1986. The Company's marine products consist of diesel and gasoline engine- driven electrical generator sets, inboard propulsion engines, self- contained, reverse-cycle air-conditioners, and associated spare parts and accessories. In addition, the Company manufactures and markets electrical generator sets for use in non-marine applications. The Company markets its products throughout the United States and internationally principally for recreational marine applications. Accordingly, the market for the Company's products is dependent on the market for recreational boats, including auxiliary powered sailboats, powerboats, houseboats and other pleasure boats. The market for recreational boats, and consequently the Company's products, may be adversely affected by general economic conditions. Products - -------- The Company's marine engine product line consists of 26 models of electrical generator sets, 22 models of inboard propulsion engines, and associated spare parts and accessories. The Company also offers 9 models of non-marine generator sets. The Company's diesel and gasoline engine-driven marine generator sets are installed in powerboats, houseboats, large sailboats and other pleasure and commercial boats to provide electricity for communication and navigational equipment, lighting, refrigeration and other galley services, and other safety, operating and convenience needs. The Company's present line of generator sets produce from 3.8 to 95 kilowatts of electricity. A generator set consists of an electrical generator and an attached diesel or gasoline engine used to drive the generator. These engines are water- cooled and range from one to six cylinders. The Company's propulsion engines are inboard engines, generally installed as auxiliary power systems for sailboats. The Company's propulsion engines are water-cooled and range from one to six cylinders and from 7 to 170 horsepower. Management believes that more than 90% of the propulsion engines produced by the Company are installed in sailboats of up to 50 feet in length. The Company's higher horsepower propulsion engines are also installed in powerboats of up to approximately 30 feet in length such as fishing boats, cruisers and workboats. The Company's product line also includes marine auxiliary engines and associated spare and replacement parts marketed under the Universal(R) name and marine air-conditioning products marketed under the Rotary Aire(R) name. The Company 3 manufactures and markets two sizes of self-contained, reverse-cycle air- conditioning units and accessories under the Rotary Aire(R) name. These units can be installed in powerboats, houseboats, sailboats and other pleasure and commercial boats. The Company's product line includes 9 models of non-marine electrical generator sets which may be installed in fire trucks, rescue vehicles, motor coaches, refrigerated trucks and other specialty vehicles to provide electricity for lighting, refrigeration and other safety, operating and convenience needs. These generators may also be used as stand-by or secondary power sources in the event of power outages or in locations where primary power is not readily available, such as construction sites, rural areas and less developed countries. The Company offers a complete line of spare parts and accessories for its current product lines and for most discontinued models. The Company's line of spare parts includes oil and fuel filters, belts, thermostats, distributor caps, fuses, spark plugs, wiring, alternators, heat exchangers, circuit breakers, water and fuel pumps, starter motors and fuel solenoids. Many basic parts are packaged and sold as spare part kits. Accessories offered by the Company include various control and instrument panels, exhaust silencers and generator sound enclosures. The Company provides all its customers with documentation covering operation, maintenance and repair procedures for its products. Management believes that the provision of current and comprehensive documentation enhances the Company's marketing and competitive effectiveness. See "Marketing and Sales" and "Competition" below. Each of the Company's products is covered by a one-year limited warranty covering parts and authorized labor. In addition, the Company offers a five-year limited warranty on certain marine generator sets. Many of the Company's suppliers also warrant their products for parts and labor. Some of the Company's major suppliers warrant their products for the duration of the Company's warranties. The Company believes it has made adequate provisions for probable warranty claims. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The Company's distributors are generally responsible for administering the Company's warranties through the dealer network. See "Marketing and Sales" below. Governmental Regulation - ----------------------- Many of the Company's products are subject to exhaust emission standards pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), effective September 1, 1996, and by the State of California, effective August 1, 1995. The emission standards are intended to reduce the emissions of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulates and smoke. It is anticipated that by January 1, 2005, all of the Company's products will be subject to such regulations. All of the regulations include manufacturer testing requirements, mandated warranties on 4 emissions related components, product labeling and reporting requirements. Additionally, future regulations may include provisions for selective enforcement audits and recall and repair requirements. At this time, all of the Company's products, which are subject to these emissions regulations, comply with the regulations. Achieving and maintaining this compliance has been accomplished through significant design and development expense. The emission standards established by the regulations will become broader in scope and more stringent regarding emissions levels each year. As a result, research and development expenditures for emissions compliance will continue at a significant level for the foreseeable future. Additionally, if at any time the Company cannot effect the required modifications of its products to meet the required emissions levels within the time frame allowed, the Company could be materially adversely affected. Design and Development - ---------------------- The Company has an ongoing product improvement and development program intended to enhance the reliability, performance and longevity of existing products, and to develop new products. A significant portion of the Company's senior management's time, as well as the efforts of the Company's eleven-person product engineering department, is spent in this area. As part of the Company's ongoing product development program, the Company upgrades its engine products and periodically adds models to its product line. For example, as and when improvements in component parts allow, the Company may manufacture smaller or more lightweight versions of existing models. In fiscal 2002, the product-engineering department focused principally on the modernization of the Company's existing product line and modifications, which the Company believes will be required as a result of the emissions standards discussed above. In addition, the Company expanded its engine product line by developing generator sets with different kilowattage than its existing models. The Company intends to introduce upgraded and new models as and when developed. The Company's design and engineering focus is on reliability, ease of maintenance, compactness, operating smoothness, safety and longevity, among other technical and performance factors. The Company's technical and performance specifications are utilized by the Company's suppliers in producing certain component parts, metal and nonmetal fabrications and other peripheral equipment that the Company manufactures and assembles into finished products. Generally, the Company retains title to Company- developed drawings, patterns and specifications used by these suppliers. For the three fiscal years ended October 2002, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $4,045,800 for design and development activities as follows: 2002 - $1,098,500, 2001 - $1,445,800 and 2000 - $1,501,500. All these activities were conducted and sponsored by the Company and the major portion of these expenses was applied toward salaries and other expenses of the Company's product design and engineering personnel. 5 Manufacturing and Sources of Supply - ----------------------------------- The Company's manufacturing activities are conducted in an approximately 110,000 square foot facility owned by the Company. See "Item 2 - Properties" below. The Company has approximately 46 persons employed in various manufacturing and assembly functions. See "Employees" below. The Company's engine products generally contain from 250 to 500 component parts and assemblies purchased from domestic and foreign manufacturers and suppliers. Some of these component parts are manufactured to Company specifications, while others are further machined and assembled by the Company. The basic component of the Company's engine products is a "long block" engine, which is a complete engine block and head assembly without peripheral equipment. Peripheral equipment added by the Company includes subassemblies (generators, transmissions, alternators, carburetors, motors and pumps), machined castings (flywheels, bell housings, manifolds, mounts, pulleys, brackets and couplings), sheet metal fabrications (control and instrumentation panels), injection-molded plastic and other non-metallic fabrications (belt guards, drip trays, belts, hoses and panels) and various other component parts (mounts, switches and other electrical devices). The Company purchases "long block" engines from eight foreign manufacturers. The Company currently purchases all of its requirements of "long block" engines on a purchase order basis rather than pursuant to long-term supply agreements. In certain cases, the Company has an agreement with its "long block" engine manufacturers to supply these component parts exclusively to the Company for marine products of the type produced by the Company. Orders for "long block" engines are dollar- denominated which protects the Company to some extent against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, although fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate have had and will continue to have an effect on the cost of the Company's raw materials. See "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company believes that the purchase of "long block" engines on a purchase order basis has become the more common industry practice. Interruption of the supply of "long block" engines would have a material adverse effect on the Company if the time to develop new sources of supply and replacement products is longer than the time it takes to exhaust the Company's inventory of existing "long block" engines. In addition, the Company does not have long-term supply agreements with other manufacturers of other component parts or peripheral equipment. The Company believes that it can obtain these parts and equipment from a variety of sources on commercially reasonable terms. However, the disruption of its supply of these parts, equipment or "long block" engines would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. The lead-time between ordering and receipt of component parts varies with the part involved, but generally ranges from a few weeks in the case of unfinished products to three to six months in the case of "long block" engines, generators and transmissions. The Company has not experienced any difficulties in obtaining finished or unfinished components or peripheral equipment on commercially reasonable terms. 6 Most of the Company's purchases of component parts and peripheral equipment from Japanese ("long block" engines), Italian (generators) and other foreign manufacturers are dollar-denominated. Fluctuations in exchange rates have resulted, and may in the future result, in price increases from some of the Company's suppliers. Management believes that to varying degrees the Company's competitors in the engine product markets have been and will be similarly affected since many of its competitors also purchase component parts and peripheral equipment abroad. However, some of the Company's principal competitors are divisions of large and diversified multinational companies with extensive production facilities and sales and marketing staffs and substantially greater financial resources than the Company and therefore may be better situated to accommodate price increases from suppliers due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The engine product markets are price sensitive, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to pass on price increases from its suppliers to its customers. The manufacturing of a particular engine product requires the integration of a number of engineering, machining and assembly functions in order to produce high quality components. Prior to final assembly, the Company's manufacturing activities involve machining various metal and nonmetal component parts on computer-controlled and conventional milling machines, lathes, drill presses, welders and other machinery, modification and assembly of electrical and mechanical subassemblies, calibration of electrical devices and components, and testing for variances from specifications and operating parameters. The Company has approximately 9 machine operators who satisfy approximately 95% of the Company's machining needs. Independent contractors perform the remainder of the machining. The Company has a final assembly line for its engine products where component parts, subassemblies and peripheral equipment are assembled onto "long-block" engines. Following final assembly, each generator set and propulsion engine is tested at increasing loads up to full operating capacity to verify performance and safety features. After product testing, the product is pressure hot water washed, primed and painted, unpainted components are attached, and the product is packed and shipped to the customer, generally via common carrier freight collect. The Company's air-conditioning products are produced on a separate assembly line where component parts (compressors, evaporator and condensing coils, fans, electrical components and plastic housings), purchased from manufacturers and suppliers, are assembled into final units. The Company does not have any long-term supply agreements with the manufacturers of these component parts. However, the Company believes it can obtain most of these parts from a variety of sources on commercially reasonable terms. Following assembly, each air-conditioner is painted and tested for performance, leakage and compliance with safety standards. 7 Quality Control and Computerization - ----------------------------------- Management believes that maintaining high quality manufacturing standards is important to its competitive position and also believes that the Company has developed a reputation for high quality products. The Company maintains quality control systems and procedures which it reviews with its manufacturing personnel and which it modifies as appropriate. The Company's quality control systems and procedures include the testing of each fully assembled generator set and propulsion engine at increasing loads up to full operating capacity to verify performance and safety features. The checklist includes testing wiring and electrical systems, all connections and fittings, fuel and oil systems, the fresh water-cooling system and safety shutdown features. In the case of the Company's generator sets, output current, voltage and frequency are also tested. The results of the tests are recorded, and quality assurance personnel approve each product before it leaves the testing area. In line with its policy of updating and improving its manufacturing operations, the Company utilizes a computerized manufacturing management system, which integrates the Company's inventory control, sales and financial functions with its manufacturing operations. Marketing and Sales - ------------------- The Company's marine engine and air-conditioning products are marketed through a nationwide and international network of distributors and dealers. The Company markets its non-marine engine products through a sales representative and to distributors. In addition, the Company's sales management and senior management devote a substantial amount of time to the overall coordination of the Company's sales to distributors, as well as to the Company's direct sales to boat and other manufacturers (OEMs). Direct sales by the Company to OEMs accounted for approximately 30%, 43%, and 47% of total sales for the fiscal years ended October 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company announced on April 19, 2002 that its exclusive agreement with its largest OEM customer would not be extended. This agreement expired on June 30, 2002. Sales to this OEM customer accounted for approximately 16.2%, 26.4% and 25.8% of total sales for the fiscal years ended October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001 and October 21, 2000, respectively. The reduction in sales to OEMs as a percentage of total sales in fiscal 2002 was attributable to the loss of this customer. The Company's marine products are sold to distributors for resale to manufacturers of powerboats, houseboats, sailboats and other pleasure and commercial boats, and to boat dealers and marinas. Boat manufacturers install the Company's products as original equipment. In addition, the Company's distributors resell the Company's marine products to over 600 authorized dealers (including boatyards and marinas) located on or near major navigable waterways throughout the world. These 8 dealers install the Company's generator sets, propulsion engines and air- conditioners as either new or replacement equipment. In addition, many of these dealers maintain inventories of spare parts and accessories in order to maintain and repair the Company's marine products. The Company's distributor network consists of 10 domestic and 57 foreign distributors. The Company's domestic distributors are located along the East, West and Gulf Coasts and in the Great Lakes Region. The 57 foreign distributors service 70 countries worldwide and 14 islands in the Caribbean. Of the 57 foreign distributors, 25 are located in Europe, the Mid-East and Scandinavia, 12 in South, Central and North America, 9 in the Far East, 7 in the Caribbean, and the remainder in Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Each distributor operates in a specified region under a distribution agreement with the Company, which assigns to the distributor the nonexclusive responsibility for sales and service of the Company's products in its territory, including warranty administration, accounts receivable collection and other customer related functions. Each distributor maintains inventories of the Company's marine products, including spare parts and accessories, in order to provide boat manufacturers and dealers with prompt delivery of products. Typically, the Company's distributors and dealers also distribute and sell other marine accessories and products. Generally, however, the Company's distributors do not sell products that compete with the Company's products. Sales to international customers totaled $2,687,800 (10.5% of net sales), $2,523,000 (8.8% of net sales) and $2,849,400 (8.3% of net sales) for the fiscal years ended October 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for additional information concerning sales to international customers for the Company's three most recent fiscal years. Management is not aware of any special tariffs, importation quotas or any other restrictions imposed by the foreign countries in which the Company sells its products. All of the Company's international sales are dollar-denominated which protects the Company to some extent against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, although significant increases in the value of the dollar in relation to foreign currencies may adversely impact the Company's ability to market its products abroad. Management believes that, to varying degrees, the Company's competitors in the marine product market are similarly affected since many of its competitors also sell products abroad. However, some of the Company's principal competitors are divisions of large and diversified multinational companies with extensive production facilities and sales and marketing staffs and substantially greater financial resources than the Company and therefore may be better situated to accommodate fluctuations in exchange rates. Management is not aware of any other unusual or special risks associated with this aspect of the Company's business. The Company considers international customers to be an important market for its marine products. An important aspect of the Company's marketing approach and competitive position is the ability of its technical personnel and its distributors to provide technical assistance to boat manufacturers and dealers with a view to developing specifications and 9 performance parameters for unit or serial production of its marine products. To that end, the Company selects its distributors with great care and continually monitors their technical expertise. In addition, at times the Company conducts seminars in each distribution region. These sessions are conducted by personnel from the Company and from its distributors and are open to boat manufacturers, dealers and individual boat owners. The Company occasionally sponsors service schools at its manufacturing facility designed to upgrade a distributor's technical expertise and to introduce product innovations and new products. See "Competition" below. The Company markets the Westerbeke(R), Universal(R) and Rotary Aire(R) names and its marine products through various methods of advertising. Certain advertising is accomplished under a cooperative system with the Company's distributors. Under this system, the Company pays a portion of the cost of and approves the advertising developed by its distributors. Advertisements are placed in trade publications such as Passage Maker, Boating, Sail, Power & Motor Yacht and Marlin. In addition, a substantial amount of the Company's advertising is conducted through the distribution of technical and sales literature and pamphlets, direct mailings and sponsorship of exhibits at boat shows. During the fiscal years ended October 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred advertising and promotional expenses of $640,700, $668,500, and $684,600, respectively. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in " Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For the fiscal year ended October 26, 2002, sales to Marysville Marine Distributors, Inc., Sea Ray Boats, Inc. and Hansen Marine Distributors, Inc., accounted for approximately 20.3%, 16.2% and 11.6%, respectively, of the Company's total sales. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in " Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company believes that, if necessary, it could replace any of its distributors or sell the products presently distributed by them directly to boat manufacturers and dealers. However, the loss of these customers or the inability to replace these distributors could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company announced on April 19, 2002 that its exclusive agreement with its largest OEM customer would not be extended. This agreement expired on June 30, 2002. Sales to this OEM customer accounted for approximately 16.2%, 26.4% and 25.8% of total sales for the fiscal years ended October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001 and October 21, 2000, respectively. The market for the Company's products is dependent on the market for recreational boats, including auxiliary powered sailboats, powerboats, houseboats and other pleasure boats. In addition, the recreational marine boat business is seasonal in nature and accordingly, the Company's business generally experiences some fluctuations in its business during the course of the year. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." 10 Proprietary Rights - ------------------ Although the Company follows a policy of protecting its proprietary rights to its marine engine products and designs, it does not believe that its business, as a whole, is materially dependent upon such protection. The Company has registered the names Westerbeke(R), Universal(R), Rotary Aire(R) and Atomic Four(R) under Federal trademark law. Backlog and Credit Terms - ------------------------ The Company believes that because its production is based upon cancelable purchase orders rather than long-term agreements, the amount of its backlog is not an important indicator of future sales. The Company extends credit to certain of its customers on terms, which it believes are normal and customary in the marine industry. Competition - ----------- The business of manufacturing and supplying marine products is extremely competitive. The Company faces competition from a number of companies, including at least five significant competitors, some of which are divisions of large and diversified multinational companies with extensive production facilities and sales and marketing staffs and substantially greater financial resources than the Company. Such competitors may be better situated to accommodate price increases from suppliers due to fluctuations in exchange rates. In addition, the Company faces competition from similar companies as it expands its product line or seeks other non-marine applications for its product line. Although price is an important competitive factor, the Company believes that its pricing is competitive. The market for the Company's marine products is dependent on the market for recreational boats, which may experience contracting sales as a result of general economic conditions. A contracting market may result in additional competition particularly for direct sales to large boat manufacturers. The Company believes that it can compete effectively with all of its present competitors based upon the high quality, reliability, performance and longevity of its products, the comprehensiveness of its line of products, price, the effectiveness of its customer service, and the technical expertise of its personnel and that of its distributors. Employees - --------- At December 20, 2002, the Company had 79 full-time employees, including officers and administrative personnel. None of the Company's employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement and the Company considers its relationship with its employees to be excellent. 11 Directors and Executive Officers of the Company - ----------------------------------------------- The directors and executive officers of the Company are as follows:

15 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Forward Looking Information - --------------------------- This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking information about the Company. In addition to the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this document include statements that constitute forward-looking statements under the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to the Company's expected cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and its listing on Nasdaq. The Company is hereby setting forth statements identifying important factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those set forth in any forward- looking statements made by the Company. Some of the most significant factors include: an unanticipated down-turn in the recreational boating industry resulting in lower demand for the Company's products; the unanticipated loss of, or decline in sales to, a major customer; the inability to replace revenues and/or profits associated with the loss of the exclusive agreement with its largest customer; the unanticipated loss of a major supplier; the unanticipated required repayment in full of outstanding amounts under the Company's demand credit facility; changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company; the impact of pending or threatened litigation; the inability of the Company to effect required modifications of its products to meet governmental regulations with respect to emission standards; general economic and business conditions; financial market volatility; and foreign currency fluctuations resulting in cost increases to the Company for its foreign supplied components. Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that any anticipated future results will be achieved and the forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as predictions of future results. Furthermore, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 16 Results of Operations - --------------------- The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the percentages which the following items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations bear to Net Sales.
Years Ended ----------------------------------------- October 26, October 27, October 21, 2002 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- ----------- Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Gross profit 21.8 22.5 22.5 Selling, general and administrative expense 19.6 15.5 16.7 Research and development expense 4.3 5.0 4.3 Income (loss) from operations (2.1) 3.9 1.4 Interest income (expense), net (1.5) (2.2) (0.5) Other income (expense) 17.4 - (0.5) Provision for income (benefit) taxes 2.5 0.7 (0.3) Net income 11.3 1.1 0.7
Fiscal 2002 compared to Fiscal 2001 - ----------------------------------- Net sales decreased $3,168,500 or 11.0% in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The decrease in net sales was attributable to general business conditions in the domestic recreational marine market and, in particular, a decrease in unit volume resulting from deceased demand for new boats. In addition, as previously announced, the Company's exclusive agreement with its largest customer was not extended. The agreement expired June 30, 2002. International sales were $2,687,800 in 2002, representing 10.5% of net sales, as compared to $2,523,000 in 2001 or 8.8% of net sales. Gross profit decreased $902,500 or 14.0% in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.8% in fiscal 2002 and 22.5% in fiscal 2001. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $559,800 or 12.6% in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The increase was primarily the result of increases in warranty costs, service costs related to the defined benefit plan and bonuses paid to employees. 17 Research and development expense decreased $347,300 or 24.0% in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in the utilization of outside consultants and also a reduction in software maintenance costs. Net interest expense was $378,000 in fiscal 2002 as compared to $618,200 in fiscal 2001. The reduction in interest expense is related to lower levels of outstanding debt and reduced borrowing costs. Other income in fiscal 2002 is primarily from the receipt and recognition of the arbitration award against one of the Company's former suppliers. The amount included in other income from the arbitration award is $4,433,900, which includes interest accrued on the award of $713,200 and legal fees of $481,600. The Company's net income was $2,886,000 in fiscal 2002 as compared to $318,800 in fiscal 2001. The increase in net income was attributable to the following: the receipt and recognition of the arbitration award against one of the Company's former suppliers, the decrease in interest expense, the reduction of income taxes resulting from the receipt of research and developments credits and the decrease in research and development expenses offset partially by the gross profit lost as a result of the decreased sales volume and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Fiscal 2001 compared to Fiscal 2000 - ----------------------------------- Net sales decreased $5,834,200 or 16.9% in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. The decrease in net sales was attributable to general business conditions in the domestic recreational marine market and, in particular, deceased demand for new boats. International sales were $2,523,000 in 2001, representing 8.8% of net sales, as compared to $2,849,400 in 2000 or 8.3% of net sales. Gross profit decreased $1,290,600 or 16.6% in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of sales remained constant at 22.5% in both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1,320,400 or 22.9% in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in legal costs associated with the arbitration and related legal proceedings against the Company's former "long block" supplier and a decrease in compensation expenses. Research and development expense decreased $55,700 or 3.7% in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. The gain on the sale of the facility in fiscal 2001, in the amount of $552,800, was from the sale of the Company's property located in Avon, Massachusetts. 18 Net interest expense was $618,200 in fiscal 2001 as compared to $171,700 in fiscal 2000. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the mortgage on the Company's new Taunton facility and also higher outstanding balances on the revolving loan balance. Other income is the realized gain from the sale of certain investments relating to the deferred compensation agreement (discussed below), which is offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. On May 17, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company, at the request of John H. Westerbeke, Jr., agreed to have the Company pay Mr. Westerbeke all amounts previously deferred under an agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Westerbeke had elected to defer the payment of certain amounts of salary and bonuses awarded to him. The Company's net income was $318,800 in fiscal 2001 as compared to $228,300 in fiscal 2000. The increase is mainly attributable to the gain on the sale of the Company's property located in Avon, Massachusetts. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- During fiscal 2002, net cash provided by operations was $7,491,000 as compared to net cash provided by operations of $993,600 in fiscal 2001. The increase in net cash provided by operations is primarily due to the decrease in inventory, the increase in net income and the timing of payments related to the split-dollar insurance agreement. The increase in net income was primarily from the receipt and recognition in other income of the arbitration award from one of the Company's former suppliers. During fiscal 2002 and 2001, the Company purchased property, plant and equipment of $270,700 and $1,440,600, respectively. On April 25, 2000, the Company purchased a 110,000 square foot facility located in Taunton, Massachusetts. This facility has enabled the Company to consolidate its operations into one location. The MassDevelopment Financing Agency approved the Company for a $5,000,000 tax-exempt industrial revenue bond, which has been financed by GE Capital Public Finance. The real estate portion of the industrial revenue bond is a 15-year mortgage loan, with $4,106,400 outstanding at October 26, 2002. The loan agreement requires monthly payments of $40,000. The equipment portion of the industrial revenue bond is a 7-year term loan, with $277,300 outstanding at October 26, 2002. The term loan requires monthly payments of $5,900. The Company also has an additional 7-year equipment loan, with $386,700 outstanding at October 26, 2002. This loan agreement requires a monthly payment of $7,900. The Company plans capital spending of approximately $300,000 during fiscal 2003. On June 26, 2000, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 Credit Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. collateralized by inventories, accounts receivable and general intangibles. The Credit Agreement was increased on September 25, 2000 to a maximum availability of $6,000,000. The actual amount available for borrowing is based on a calculation of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. Based on this calculation, at October 26, 2002, the Company had approximately $4,038,000 available 19 for borrowing. At October 26, 2002, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and approximately $296,200 committed to cover the Company's reimbursement obligations under certain letters of credit and bankers' acceptances. The Credit Agreement does not have an expiration date, but is payable on written demand. Management believes cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will provide for working capital needs, principal payments on long-term debt, and capital and operating leases through fiscal 2003. Domestic inflation is not expected to have a major impact on the Company's operations. The costs of engine blocks and other components are subject to foreign currency fluctuations (primarily the Japanese yen). The value of the U.S. dollar relative to the yen had no material effect on the cost of the Company's products in fiscal 2002. New Accounting Pronouncements - ----------------------------- In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 provides new guidance on the accounting for a business combination at the date a business combination is completed. Specifically, it requires use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, thereby eliminating use of the pooling-of-interests method. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 are effective immediately, except with regard to business combinations initiated prior to June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill and other intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life that are acquired in a business combination completed after July 1, 2001, will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with appropriate pre-SFAS 142 accounting literature. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 establishes new guidance on how to account for goodwill and intangible assets after a business combination is completed. Among other things, it requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually and written down only when impaired. This statement will apply to existing goodwill and intangible assets beginning with fiscal years starting after December 15, 2001. The Company does not believe there will be a material effect from the adoption of these new standards. On August 16, 2001, FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." The standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long- lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard will apply to the Company 20 effective October 27, 2002. The Company does not believe there will be a material effect from the adoption of this new standard. On October 3, 2001, FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," that replaced FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of." The primary objectives of this project were to develop one accounting model based on the framework established in Statement No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and to address significant implementation issues. The accounting model for long- lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. Statement No. 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. The provisions of Statement No. 144 will apply to the Company effective October 27, 2002. The Company does not believe there will be a material effect from the adoption of this new standard. In June 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Statement No. 146 states that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for a liability for one-time termination benefits that are incurred over a period of time. The standard will apply to the Company effective December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe there will be a material effect from the adoption of this new standard. On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 requires accounting policy note disclosures to provide the method of stock option accounting for each year presented in the financial statements and, for each year until all years presented in the financial statements recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation. Also, SFAS No. 148 provides two additional transition methods that eliminate the ramp-up effect resulting from applying the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. The transition provisions and annual statement disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim statement disclosure requirements are effective for the first interim statement that includes financial information after December 15, 2002. The Company does not believe there will be a material effect from the adoption of this new standard. 21 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and the Company believes that its exposure to market risk associated with other financial instruments (such as fixed and variable rate borrowings) is not material. Most of the Company's purchases of component parts and peripheral equipment from Japanese ("long block" engines), Italian (generators) and other foreign manufacturers are dollar-denominated. Fluctuations in exchange rates have resulted, and may in the future result, in price increases from some of the Company's suppliers. 22 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 30 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001 and October 21, 2000 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: The Company is primarily engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing marine engine and air-conditioning products. Items Affecting Comparability Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday of the last full week of October and, as a result, a fifty-third week is added every five or six years. The fiscal year ended October 27, 2001 consisted of fifty-three weeks. The fifty-third week increased 2001 net sales by an estimated $475,000 and operating profits by an estimated $10,900. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Westerbeke Corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Westerbeke International, Inc. (a foreign sales corporation). All inter-company accounts are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Investments in Marketable Securities Marketable investment securities at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 consist of equity securities in various mutual funds. The Company employs the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (Statement 115). Under Statement 115, the Company classifies its marketable securities in one of two categories: trading or available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized in earnings for transfers into trading securities. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses, if any, for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings with cost determined using the specific identification method. 31 Marketable investment securities held in connection with the deferred compensation arrangement are classified as trading securities. These securities were sold during the year ended October 27, 2001. All other marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Equity securities are stated at the fair market value at October 26, 2002 and at October 27, 2001. The total cost of the marketable securities at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 was $65,300. Unrealized holding gains in investment securities, net of income taxes, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 were $12,200 and $19,700, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the last-in, first-out method) or market. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and Amortization The Company computes depreciation and amortization expense on a straight- line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Classification Estimated Useful Lives - -------------------- ---------------------- Building and building improvements 15 - 40 years Machinery and equipment 10 years Patterns 5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 - 10 years Transportation equipment 3 - 5 years Equipment under capital lease 5 - 10 years Intangibles 3 - 17 years
Intangible assets, primarily acquired patents, are classified in other assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the lease or their estimated useful lives. Revenue Recognition Revenues and related cost of sales for all products are recognized when products are shipped, as shipments are FOB shipping point and title and risk of loss pass to the customer at that point. The Company expenses price allowance obligations at the time of sale of the product. The Company calculates price allowance reserves based upon actual rebates and sales allowance credits issued in the current period. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term and short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for issuance of similar debt with similar terms and remaining maturities, the estimated fair value of long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts. 32 Product Warranty Cost The anticipated costs related to product warranty are expensed at the time of sale of the product. Accrued warranty expense of $430,000 is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities at October 26, 2002 and $360,000 at October 27, 2001. The Company calculates this reserve by comparing actual reimbursed warranty expenses for the fiscal year as a percentage of sales for the same period. Advertising Advertising and promotional expenditures are expensed as incurred. During the fiscal years ended October 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred advertising and promotional expenses of $640,700, $668,500, and $684,600, respectively. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Split-Dollar Premiums The Company has a split dollar life insurance agreement with John H. Westerbeke, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The value reflected on the balance sheet is the lesser of the fair value of the mutual funds in which the premiums are invested or the cumulative value of the premiums paid. The Company accounts for this arrangement in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The investments are classified as available for sale and unrealized gains and losses are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income net of tax. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has stopped paying premiums in connection with such agreement. Net Income Per Share Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the exercise of stock options. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and all dilutive securities, except when the effect would be antidilutive.
For the twelve months ended: October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 October 21, 2000 ---------------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Income Net Income Net Income Net per share Shares Income per share Shares Income per share Shares Income --------- ------ ------ --------- ------ ------ --------- ------ ------ Basic $1.48 1,949,066 $2,886,000 $.16 1,941,391 $318,800 $.12 1,920,147 $228,300 Effect of Stock options (.03) 35,204 - - 101,521 - (.01) 137,744 ----- --------- ---------- ---- --------- -------- ---- --------- -------- Diluted $1.45 1,984,270 $2,886,000 $.16 2,042,912 $318,800 $.11 2,057,891 $228,300
33 At October 26, 2002, there were 183,300 exercisable options outstanding, which were convertible into 183,300 common shares. Included in the 183,300 exercisable options outstanding are 33,300 options that have been excluded from the earnings per share calculation, since their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The arbitrator's award, discussed under legal proceedings in Note 10, increased earnings per share by $1.34 for the year ended October 26, 2002. The gain on the sale of the Avon property increased earnings per share by $0.17 for the year ended October 27, 2001. 2. Business Segment The Company has one business segment; the designing, manufacturing and marketing of marine engines and related products. The profitability of the Company is directly tied to the marine industry. The industry is subject to fluctuations in economic conditions that may adversely affect the Company. Net sales include export sales, primarily to customers in the Netherlands, England, Italy, South Africa and Puerto Rico of approximately $2,687,800, $2,523,000 and $2,849,400 for fiscal years ended October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001, and October 21, 2000, respectively. In fiscal 2002, three customers each accounted for sales in excess of 10% of net sales as follows: $5,710,700, $4,537,500 and $3,267,200. In fiscal 2001, three customers each accounted for sales in excess of 10% of net sales as follows: $7,948,000, $5,565,900 and $3,400,200. In fiscal 2000, two customers each accounted for sales in excess of 10% of net sales as follows: $8,896,200 and $6,166,700. At October 26, 2002, four customers each accounted for trade accounts receivable in excess of 10% of net accounts receivable as follows: $473,300, $436,300, $433,800 and $297,800. At October 27, 2001, three customers each accounted for trade accounts receivable in excess of 10% of net accounts receivable as follows: $534,100, $397,900 and $304,700. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and therefore does not require collateralization of trade receivables. 3. Inventories Inventories consist of the following:
October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 ---------------- ---------------- Raw materials $3,808,400 $5,734,300 Work-in-process 614,000 855,800 Finished goods 625,900 976,700 ---------- ---------- $5,048,300 $7,566,800 ========== ==========
The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to value inventories. The Company believes the LIFO inventory method results in a better matching of costs and revenues during periods of changing prices. Inventories would have been $1,031,500 and $918,600 higher at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001, respectively, if the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used. In 2002 and 2001, inventory was reduced resulting in the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers. Inventory cost determined on the FIFO method approximates replacement or current cost. The basic component of the Company's engine products is a "long block" engine, which is a complete engine block and head assembly without peripheral equipment. The Company purchases "long block" engines from five foreign manufacturers. Interruption of the supply of "long block" engines would have a material adverse effect on the Company if the time to develop new sources of supply and replacement 34 products is longer than the time it takes to exhaust the Company's inventory of existing "long block" engines. 4. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, at cost, consists of the following:
October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 ---------------- ---------------- Land $ 921,500 $ 921,500 Building and building improvements 5,658,300 5,630,200 Furniture and fixtures 711,300 706,800 Machinery, patterns and equipment 5,092,000 4,853,800 Transportation equipment 80,400 80,400 Leasehold improvements 20,400 20,400 Equipment under capital lease 769,200 769,200 ----------- ----------- 13,253,100 12,982,300 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 4,904,500 4,119,900 ----------- ----------- $ 8,348,600 $ 8,862,400 =========== ===========
The Company incurred depreciation expense of approximately $784,600, $754,300, and $494,800, for fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. 5. Split-Dollar Premiums The Company has a split-dollar life insurance arrangement with John H. Westerbeke, Jr., the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as part of his employment agreement (see note 10), pursuant to which the Company pays the premium costs of certain life insurance policies. This agreement allows the premiums paid to be invested in a select group of mutual funds thereby subjecting the total cash value of premiums paid to market risk. The cash proceeds the Company would receive depends upon the method of termination. If termination is initiated by death, the Company is entitled to repayment of an amount equal to the cumulative premiums previously paid, with all remaining payments to be made to the estate of Mr. Westerbeke or his beneficiaries. If the policy is terminated for other reasons, the Company would receive the lesser of the fair value of the mutual funds in which the premiums are invested or the cumulative value of premiums paid. The Company accounts for this arrangement in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The investments are classified as available for sale and unrealized gains and losses are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income net of tax. Included in other assets at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 is $1,068,300 and $1,237,000, respectively, which represents the fair market value of insurance premiums paid to date. At October 26, 2002, in connection with the split-dollar insurance arrangement, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $168,700, net of taxes of $67,500, in other comprehensive income. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has stopped paying premiums in connection with such agreement. 6. Note Receivable and Lease-Related Party The Company holds a note receivable from John H. Westerbeke, Jr., the chairman, president and chief executive officer of the Company. The principal amount of the secured loan at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 was $36,200 and $56,200, respectively. The loan was used by Mr. Westerbeke to purchase a 40-foot sailboat. The loan bears interest at 7- 3/4% per annum, is secured by a security interest in the sailboat and is payable in monthly installments over a ten year period. The Company has leased the sailboat from Mr. Westerbeke pursuant to a lease expiring in July 2004 at a rental of $2,793 per month (see Note 10). The Company makes use of the boat to evaluate the performance of its marine engines and products and for other corporate matters. 35 7. Revolving Demand Note Payable The Company has a $6,000,000 Credit Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable and general intangibles. The Company may choose the interest rate on the revolving demand note of either LIBOR plus 250 basis points or the base rate. As of October 26, 2002, the LIBOR rate was 1.86% and the base rate was 4.75%. The Credit Agreement was entered into on June 26, 2000. The actual amount available for borrowing is based on a calculation of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. Based on this calculation, at October 26, 2002, the Company had approximately $4,038,000 available for borrowing. As of October 26, 2002, the Company had approximately $3,741,800 in unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement and approximately $296,200 committed to cover the Company's reimbursement obligations under certain open letters of credit and bankers' acceptances. The Agreement does not have an expiration date, but is payable on written demand. In connection with this note payable, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants requiring, among other things, the maintenance of minimum working capital, minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio. As of October 26, 2002, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. 8. Long-Term Debt
October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 ---------------- ---------------- Term Loan with an interest rate of 8.50%, with $ 386,700 $ 446,100 repayment terms through October 2007, secured by certain equipment.

The Company has approximately $176,000 of state tax credits, which are available to offset future income taxes over a ten-year period. The state tax credits began in fiscal 2001 and will expire in ten years. Income tax (benefit) expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34 percent to pretax income as a result of the following:

37 The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 are presented below.
October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 ---------------- ---------------- Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable $ 193,300 $ 97,400 Inventory 444,800 601,800 Accrued bonus 124,400 - Warranty 173,200 145,000 Unrealized loss on split-dollar life insurance 319,600 239,900 Massachusetts net operating tax loss - 22,600 Massachusetts investment tax credit 116,300 183,100 Other 16,100 - ---------- ---------- Total gross deferred tax assets 1,387,700 1,289,800 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets, principally due to accelerated depreciation methods (389,600) (358,200) ---------- ---------- Total gross deferred tax liabilities (389,600) (358,200) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets $ 998,100 $ 931,600 ========== ==========
Management believes that the realization of deferred tax assets is more likely than not because future operations of the Company are expected to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize such deferred amounts. 10. Commitments and Contingencies Lease Obligations The Company has lease agreements for a warehouse and certain equipment (see note 6) expiring at various dates through 2005. Rental expense under operating leases was $115,500, $185,400, and $185,800 for the years ended October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001 and October 21, 2000, respectively. The future minimum lease payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:
Year Operating ---- --------- 2003 $36,800 2004 36,800 2005 2,500 ------- Total future minimum lease payments $76,100 =======
Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances Certain foreign vendors require the Company to provide letters of credit at the time purchase orders are placed. As of October 26, 2002, the Company was contingently liable for open letters of credit and bankers' acceptances of approximately $296,200 (see note 7). Employment Agreements In March of 1993, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") with John H. Westerbeke, Jr., the Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Agreement provides for Mr. Westerbeke to be paid an annual base salary, subject to increases based upon the 38 Consumer Price Index and at the discretion of the Company. During fiscal 2002, Mr. Westerbeke's salary was $236,600. The Agreement also provides for payment of a bonus at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. In March 2001, the Board of Directors extended for a period of two years the incentive plan previously established in September 1996, whereas Mr. Westerbeke has an annual bonus opportunity, based on net income and increases in sales. In October 2002, the Board of Directors extended the incentive plan for a further period of two years, through fiscal 2004. Mr. Westerbeke may elect to have all or any part of his base salary or bonus paid as deferred compensation in five annual installments commencing upon his retirement or other termination of employment, or upon a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Agreement. Amounts deferred by Mr. Westerbeke are contributed by the Company to a trust established to hold and invest these funds until such time as the amounts are payable to Mr. Westerbeke. The Agreement also requires the Company to pay premiums for certain life insurance policies on the life of Mr. Westerbeke. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has stopped paying premiums under the Company's split dollar life insurance agreement with Mr. Westerbeke. In addition, in the event of a change in control of the Company, Mr. Westerbeke may terminate his employment during the one year period following such change in control, and in such event, the Company is required to pay him a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three times his average annual cash compensation during the most recent five taxable years of the Company. In addition, in such circumstances, the Company is required to continue to carry group life and health insurance for Mr. Westerbeke for a three-year period and is required to pay any premiums payable on the life insurance policies on his life for a three-year period. Legal Proceedings On October 24, 2002, the Company received the award of damages in the Company's arbitration against Daihatsu Motor Company, LTD for breach of contract and other claims. This award has been recorded as Other Income in the financial statements. The net amount included in Other Income is $4,433,900, which includes interest accrued on the award of $713,200 and legal fees of $481,600. Concentrations As of October 26, 2002, the Company had approximately $5,593,300 of cash deposits, which exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit. The Company maintains such cash deposits in a high credit quality financial institution. 11. Stockholders' Equity In June 1986, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"), under which 300,000 shares of common stock have been made available. The Company has also reserved 250,000 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with a Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the "Supplemental Plan"). The Supplemental Plan permits acceleration of the exercisability of options in the event of a change in control of the Company with the Company retaining the right of first refusal with respect to shares issued under this plan. In March 1996, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Option Plan"), under which 150,000 shares of common stock have been made available. As of October 26, 2002, there has been no activity under the 1996 Option Plan. Options under the plans may be either nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options. Options may be granted to eligible employees of the Company and members of the board of directors. The price at which the shares may be granted may not be less than the lower of fair market value or tangible book value in the case of nonqualified options, or 110% of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options. The options generally become exercisable in 20% annual increments beginning on the date of the grant and expire at the end of ten years. 39 The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 in October 1995, which statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock based employee compensation plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and continues to apply the accounting provisions of Opinion No.25 of the Accounting Principles Board. Information for fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002, with respect to the "Option Plan", is as follows:
Weighted average exercise price of Shares shares under plan ------ ----------------- Balance outstanding at October 23, 1999 150,000 $1.125 Exercised (10,000) 1.125 ------- Balance outstanding at October 21, 2000 140,000 1.125 Exercised (19,278) 1.125 ------- Balance outstanding at October 27, 2001 120,722 1.125 Exercised (19,354) 1.125 Forfeited (26,368) 1.125 ------- Balance outstanding and exercisable at October 26, 2002 75,000 $1.125 =======
The outstanding options expire on various dates through May 2003. Options for 88,100 shares are available for future grant under the "Option Plan". The following table summarizes information concerning currently outstanding and exercisable options under the "Option Plan" as of October 26, 2002:

The outstanding options expire on various dates through June 2006. Options for 41,300 shares are available for future grant under the "Supplemental Plan". The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and the Company continues to apply APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Net income As reported $2,886,000 $318,800 $228,300 Pro forma 2,886,000 318,800 227,300 Basic income per share As reported $ 1.48 $ 0.16 $ 0.12 Pro forma 1.48 0.16 0.12 Diluted income per share As reported $ 1.45 $ 0.16 $ 0.11 Pro forma 1.45 0.16 0.11
Preferred Stock As of October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001, 1,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value Serial Preferred Stock were authorized; none were issued or outstanding. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The components of total comprehensive income (loss) resulting from unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities, net of income taxes for the years ending October 26, 2002 and October 27, 2001 are as follows:
For the twelve months ended: ------------------------------------ October 26, 2002 October 27, 2001 ---------------- ---------------- Net income $2,886,000 $ 318,800 Unrealized (losses) gains on marketable securities, net of income taxes of $72,500 at October 26, 2002 and $251,800 at October 27, 2001 (108,800) (377,600) ---------- --------- Comprehensive income (loss) $2,777,200 $ (58,800) ========== =========
41 12. 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In June 1986, the board of directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the Company's 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). Under the Purchase Plan, an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock are available for purchase by eligible employees of the Company, including directors and officers, through payroll deductions over successive six-month offering periods. The Purchase Plan will become effective when so declared by the board of directors. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purchase price of the common stock under the Purchase Plan will be 85% of the average of the closing high bid and last asked prices per share in the over-the-counter market on either the first or last day of each six-month offering period, whichever is less. As of October 26, 2002, there has been no activity under the Purchase Plan. 13. Employee Benefit Plans In 1994, the Company started an Employee Deferred Compensation Plan that covers all employees over 21 years of age who have completed at least 3 months of service with the Company. Contributions by the Company are discretionary and are determined by the Company's board of directors. The Company's defined contribution plan, available to substantially all salaried employees, contains a matched savings provision that permits both pretax and after-tax employee contributions. Participants can contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation and receive a 25% matching employer contribution on up to 8% of their annual compensation. During fiscal 2002, the Company temporarily ceased the 25% matching employer contribution. The Company contributed $600, $41,000 and $46,600 for the fiscal years ended October 26, 2002, October 27, 2001 and October 21, 2000, respectively. On January 1, 2002, the Company started a defined benefit pension plan that covers all employees. The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits". The following table sets forth the Company's defined benefit plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of October 26, 2002.

Westerbeke, Jr. 150,000 - $56,250 - - -------------------- In-the-money options are those where the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. The value of in-the-money options is determined in accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission by subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the option from the aggregate year-end value of the underlying Common Stock.
Employment Agreements - --------------------- The Company has an Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") with John H. Westerbeke, Jr., the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which provides for his employment by the Company at an annual base salary, subject to increases based upon the Consumer Price Index and at the discretion of the Company. During fiscal 2002, Mr. Westerbeke's salary was $236,600. The Agreement also provides for payment of a bonus at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. In March 2001, the Board of Directors extended for a period of two years the incentive plan established in September 1996, whereas Mr. Westerbeke has an annual bonus opportunity, based on net income and increases in sales. In October 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company further extended the incentive plan for an additional two years, through fiscal 2004. Mr. Westerbeke may elect to have all or any part of his base salary or bonus paid as deferred compensation in five annual installments commencing upon his retirement or other termination of employment, or upon a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Agreement. Amounts deferred by Mr. Westerbeke are contributed by the Company to a trust established to hold and invest these funds until such time as the amounts are payable to Mr. Westerbeke. The Agreement also requires the Company to pay premiums for certain life insurance policies on the life of Mr. Westerbeke as described below. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has stopped paying premiums under the split dollar life insurance arrangement between Mr. Westerbeke and the Company. The Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon the disability of Mr. Westerbeke, by the Company with or without cause, and by Mr. Westerbeke in the event there has occurred a constructive termination of employment by the Company. In addition, in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Agreement, Mr. Westerbeke may terminate his employment during the one year period following such change in control, and in such event, the Company will be required to pay him a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three times his annual cash compensation during the most recent five taxable years of the Company, less $1,000. In addition, in such circumstances, the Company is required to continue to carry group life and health insurance for Mr. Westerbeke for a three-year period and is required to pay any premiums payable on the split- dollar life insurance policies on his life for a three-year period. Under the Agreement, Mr. 49 Westerbeke has agreed not to compete with the Company for a period of one year following termination of his employment. The Company has entered into a split-dollar insurance arrangement with Mr. Westerbeke, pursuant to which the Company will pay the premium costs of certain life insurance policies that pay a death benefit of not less than $6,150,000 in the aggregate upon the death of Mr. Westerbeke. Upon surrender of the policies or payment of the death benefit thereunder, the Company is entitled to repayment of an amount equal to the cumulative premiums previously paid by the Company, with all remaining payments to be made to Mr. Westerbeke or his beneficiaries. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has stopped paying premiums under the split dollar life insurance arrangement between Mr. Westerbeke and the Company. See footnote (6) to the "Summary Compensation Table" above for further information on premium payments made by the Company.

Compensation of Directors - ------------------------- The Company currently pays its directors a fee of $2,000 for attending each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, the Company pays the Chairman of the Audit Committee a quarterly fee of $1,000.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. The Company leases a 40-foot sailboat from Mr. Westerbeke, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to a lease expiring in July 2004. The Company pays an annual rental to him of $33,500 and also pays approximately $10,000 to $15,000 of annual expenses in connection with the operation and maintenance of the sailboat. The Company makes use of the sailboat to evaluate the performance of its marine engine products and for other corporate purposes. In July 1994, Mr. Westerbeke executed a promissory note payable to the Company in the principal amount 52 of $165,000. The proceeds of the loan were used by Mr. Westerbeke to purchase the sailboat, which is leased, to the Company as described above. The loan, which is due June 1, 2004, is payable in equal monthly installments which commenced on July 1, 1994, together with interest at 7.75% per annum and is secured by the sailboat. Management of the Company believes that the terms of the lease and of the secured loan are no less favorable to the Company than it could obtain from an unrelated party. During the Company's past fiscal year, Thomas M. Haythe, a Class B director of the Company, rendered legal services to the Company. It is expected that Mr. Haythe will continue to act as the Company's general counsel in the future. ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, as of a date within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company have each concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective and sufficient to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. (b) Changes in internal controls. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 53 PART IV ITEM 15.
