NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2001
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Preparation of Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Robbins & Myers, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Company”) contain all adjustments, consisting of normally recurring items, necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of November 30, 2001, and August 31, 2001, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended November 30, 2001 and 2000. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2—Business Acquisitions
On August 31, 2001, the Company purchased the stock of Romaco N.V., a Netherland Antilles corporation (“Romaco”). The results of Romaco are not included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Income Statement for the three month period ended November 30, 2000. Following are the unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of the Company assuming the acquisition of Romaco had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2001. In preparing the pro-forma data, adjustments have been made to the historical financial information. These are primarily interest costs related to financing the transaction, adjustments to the corporate costs and income taxes. There is no amortization of the Romaco goodwill included in the pro-forma amounts.

NOTE 3—New Accounting Pronouncement
As of September 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The provisions of this accounting standard also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six months of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective September 1, 2001. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization, net of the related income tax effect follows:

The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) on January 9, 2002. The Agreement provides that the Company may borrow on a revolving credit basis up to a maximum of $180,000,000. All outstanding amounts under the Agreement are due and payable on January 9, 2005. Interest is variable based upon formulas tied to LIBOR or prime, at the Company’s option, and is payable at least quarterly. At November 30, 2001, the weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Agreement was 3.56%. Indebtedness under the Agreement is unsecured, except for guarantees by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, the pledge of the stock of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and the pledge of the stock of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company has available borrowings of approximately $50,000,000 under the Agreement.

The Company has $100,000,000 of Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) issued in two series. Series A in the principal amount of $70,000,000 has an interest rate of 6.76% and is due May 1, 2008, and Series B in the principal amount of $30,000,000 has an interest rate of 6.84% and is due May 1, 2010. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1.

The above agreements have certain restrictive covenants including limitations on cash dividends, treasury stock purchases and capital expenditures, and minimum requirements for interest coverage and leverage ratios. The amount of cash dividends and treasury stock purchases, other than in relation to stock option exercises, the Company may incur in each fiscal year is restricted to the greater of $3,500,000 or 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income for the immediately preceding fiscal year, plus a portion of any unused amounts from the preceding fiscal year.

The Company has $59,691,000 of 6.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2003 (“Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes are due on September 1, 2003, and bear interest at 6.50%, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 and are convertible into common stock at a rate of $27.25 per share. Holders may convert at any time until maturity and the Company may call for redemption at a price ranging from the current price of 101.09% to 100% in fiscal 2003 and thereafter. The Notes are subordinated to all other indebtedness of the Company.

The Company’s other debt primarily consists of unsecured non-U.S. bank lines of credit with interest rates ranging from 4.00% to 8.00%.

NOTE 7—Income Taxes
The estimated annual effective tax rate was 33.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 34.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

     Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $139.4 million compared to $96.0 million in the prior year. Pro-forma sales, assuming Romaco was acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2001, increased $5.7 million or 4.3%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had sales of $83.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $39.6 million in fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the Pharmaceutical segment sales increased $6.0 million, or 7.8%. The increase in pro-forma sales is driven by Romaco’s growth due to the strength of the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. However, pro-forma orders for this segment decreased from $77.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to $74.4 million in fiscal 2002. The decrease in pro-forma orders is in the Company’s Reactor Systems business and is due to the impact of the weak specialty chemical market and slow industrial economy in the U.S. Backlog in this segment decreased to $99.5 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $108.1 million at August 31, 2001.

     The Industrial segment had sales of $32.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $31.0 million in fiscal 2001. This segment is also negatively impacted by the weak specialty chemical market as well as the slow industrial economy in the U.S. Incoming orders in this segment were $27.5

million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $33.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Backlog in this segment decreased to $22.5 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $28.0 million at August 31, 2001.

     The Energy segment had sales of $23.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $25.5 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $1.8 million or 7.1%. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have caused a reduction in exploration and production activities versus the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Incoming orders in this segment declined to $21.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to $28.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Backlog decreased to $5.7 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $7.5 million at August 31, 2001.

     EBIT for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 is $12.6 million compared to $10.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in a $1.4 million reduction in amortization in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. EBIT before amortization was $13.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $12.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, an increase of $1.1 million, or 9.1%.

     The Pharmaceutical segment had EBIT before amortization of $8.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. On a pro-forma basis, the Pharmaceutical segment EBIT before amortization increased $.7 million, or 9.2%. The increase in pro-forma EBIT before amortization is driven by Romaco’s sales growth.

     The Industrial segment had EBIT before amortization of $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $3.1 million in fiscal 2001, a reduction of $.6 million even though sales increased by $1.5 million. This reduction is due to a shift in product mix as lower margin industrial mixer products and corrosion resistant products increased in volume, while sales of higher margin industrial pump aftermarket products declined.

     The Energy segment had EBIT before amortization of $4.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $6.3 million in fiscal 2001, a decrease of $1.4 million or 22.2%. The aforementioned decline in Energy segment sales reduced EBIT before amortization by approximately $.8 million. The remaining decrease is due to increased research and development costs, and a change in sales mix from higher margin exploration products to lower margin wellhead products.

     Interest expense increased from $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This was due to higher average debt levels resulting from the acquisition of Romaco, offset slightly by lower interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt.

     The effective tax rate is 33.5% in fiscal 2002 compared to 34.0% in fiscal 2001.

     The increase in net income and diluted net income per share can be attributed to the acquisition of Romaco and lower amortization costs, offset by reduced operating profits in the Energy and Industrial segments due to difficult market conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) on January 9, 2002. The Agreement provides that the Company may borrow on a revolving credit basis up to a maximum of $180.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the Agreement are due and payable on January 9, 2005. Interest is variable based upon formulas tied to LIBOR or prime, at the Company’s option, and is payable at least quarterly.

     Cash uses in the first three months of fiscal 2002 were $5.3 million in semi-annual interest payments due on the Company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes, $2.8 million for variable pay plans (both included in accrued expenses), $2.8 million for capital expenditures, and $2.6 million in acquisition costs related to the Romaco acquisition. Cash generated from operations funded these cash uses.

     Cash uses in the first three months of fiscal 2001 were $5.3 million in semi-annual interest payments due on the Company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes, $4.0 for variable pay plans, $2.0 million in income tax payments (all included in accrued expenses) and $3.0 million for capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations and net borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan funded these cash uses.

     The Company expects operating cash flow to be adequate for the remainder of fiscal year 2002 operating needs, scheduled debt service and shareholder dividend requirements. The major cash requirement for the remainder of fiscal 2002 is planned capital expenditures of approximately $11.8 million. Capital expenditures are related to additional production capacity, cost reductions and replacement items.

Market Risk

     In its normal operations the Company has market risk exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to these risks, which has been previously disclosed.
