FAIRFIELD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)

1.	Interim Financial Information
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Fairfield Manufacturing Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at June 30, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. However, interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
2.	Parent Company of Registrant
	The Company is wholly-owned by Lancer Industries Inc. ("Lancer"). The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Lancer. The Company and Lancer have entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement under which the Company is required to calculate its current federal income tax liability on a separate return basis and pay that amount to Lancer. To the extent such tax liability subsequently reduces Lancer's available tax benefits, Lancer is required to reimburse the Company in an amount equivalent to 50% of such reduction by making a capital contribution to the Company. Due to a pretax loss during the first six months of 2001, Lancer did not make any capital contributions pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement. Lancer made capital contributions to the Company of $2,160 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company issued 140,000 shares of common stock to Lancer during the six months ended June 30, 2000, in recognition of the capital contribution.
3.	Inventory
	Inventory, which is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market, consists of the following:

	June 30, 2001	December 31, 2000
Raw materials	$3,484	$3,751
Work in process	12,620	12,478
Finished goods	12,379	13,337
	28,483	29,566
Less: excess of FIFO cost over LIFO cost	(24)	(48)
	$28,459	$29,518

4.	Operations by Geographic Area
	Revenues, income from operations and total assets by domestic and foreign operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, are as follows:

	Sales	Income from Operations	Assets
U.S. operations	$69,748	$344	$164,458
Foreign operations	2,778	(55)	10,702
Consolidated total	$72,526	$289	$175,160

5.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (FAS 141), Business Combinations, and No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and other Intangible Assets. FAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain. The Company believes the adoption of FAS 141 will have no impact on its results of operations and financial position. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, goodwill and indefinite life intangibles be tested for impairment at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) and that the amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives no longer be limited to forty years. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of FAS 142 and its impact on its results of operations and financial position.
6.	Subsequent Event
	At June 30, 2001, the Company was in default of a financial covenant in its senior debt agreement. The senior lender waived such default, and, in connection with such waiver, the Company and its senior lender amended the debt agreement on August 14, 2001.
Item 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
	Recent Developments
	On June 12, 2001 the Company completed a second amendment to its credit agreement with its senior lender. Among other things, the second amendment provides consent from the senior lender for Fairfield Atlas Limited to obtain multiple disbursements term loans and a working capital facility. The second amendment increases the guaranty from 6.0 million to $12.0 million and obligates the Company to repay any amounts paid by its lender in respect of this guaranty. At June 30, 2001, the Company was in default of a financial covenant in its senior debt agreement. The senior lender waived such default, and, in connection with such waiver, the Company and its senior lender amended the debt agreement on August 14, 2001. On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (FAS 141), Business Combinations, and No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and other Intangible Assets. FAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain. The Company believes the adoption of FAS 141 will have no impact on its results of operations and financial position. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, goodwill and indefinite life intangibles be tested for impairment at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) and that the amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives no longer be limited to forty years. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of FAS 142 and its impact on its results of operations and financial position.
	Results of Operations
	Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $32.7 million, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 24.2%, from the same period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's net sales decreased by $13.1 million, or 15.3%, to $72.5 million compared to $85.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decreases in sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to such periods in 2000 were attributed to the softening in the road rehabilitation, access platform, and on-highway markets as compared to prior year's results. Sales in the agriculture market have remained depressed, with a partial recovery in mining and rail. The Company believes the downturn in its markets is a direct result of a slowing U.S. economy, tight lending and capital policies, and pricing pressure from foreign competition. In addition, while the Company continues to execute its expansion plans at Fairfield Atlas Limited to gain access to new markets and to develop a low cost manufacturing and procurement base for certain products, those operations are growing slower than anticipated. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased by $5.7 million to $30.7 million compared to $36.4 million for the same period in 2000. Gross margin was 6.1% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 15.8% for the second quarter of 2000. For the first half of 2001, cost of sales were $64.7 million, compared to $71.3 million for the first half of 2000. Gross margin was 10.7% for the first half of 2001 compared to 16.7% for the first half of 2000. The decrease in gross margin relates to production inefficiencies due to lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix and continued pricing pressure. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including goodwill amortization, were $3.7 million, or 11.4% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $3.2 million, or 7.4% of net sales for the same period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, SG&A increased by $0.5 million, or 7.8%, to $7.5 million compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in SG&A from the prior periods is attributed to the inclusion of Fairfield Atlas Limited in 2001, the reversal of expenses related to the Incentive Plan for Senior Management recorded through June 30, 2000 offset by lower payroll expense through June 30, 2001. Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased to $(1.7) million, or (5.3)% of net sales, compared to $3.6 million, or 8.4% of net sales, for the comparable 2000 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's earnings from operations were $0.3 million, or 0.4% of net sales, compared to $7.3 million, or 8.6% of net sales for the first six months of 2000. The reduction in earnings is directly attributed to the lower sales volume, production inefficiencies as a result of this lower volume and pricing pressure. Interest expense, net in the second quarter of 2001 increased to $2.8 million from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2000. For the first half of 2001 and 2000, interest expense, net was $5.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively. This increase reflects higher average debt outstanding and interest rates in the second quarter of 2001 versus the second quarter of 2000 and a lower level of short-term investments. Other (income) expense, net includes $3.0 and $6.5 million during the first and second quarters of 2000, respectively, relating to business interruption insurance from the June 1999 fire at the Company's Lafayette facility.
	Liquidity and Capital Resources
	The Company uses funds provided by operations and short-term borrowings under its Credit Facilities, which is described in Note 12 to the Company's 2000 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, to meet liquidity requirements. Net cash used by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $4.1 million, a decrease in cash flows from operations of $16.0 million compared with the same period in 2000 when net cash provided by operations was $11.9 million. Net cash provided by operations in 2000 benefited by the receipt of business interruption insurance proceeds and by the reimbursement of clean-up and repair cost related to the June 1999 fire. Working capital less cash at June 30, 2001 increased to $21.4 million from $14.4 million at December 31, 2000 reflecting slower inventory turns, a higher investment in accounts receivable relative to sales, and a higher turnover in accounts payable. Capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment, machine tools, and building improvements totaled $4.1 million and $2.6 million during the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively, exclusive of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, which was funded by accounts payable. Capital expenditures for 2001 have been for replacement equipment and the expansion of Fairfield Atlas Limited whereas expenditures in 2000 were primarily for replacement equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2001 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2000. The Company elected to pay the March 15, 2001 Exchangeable Preferred Stock dividend in kind and, in connection therewith, issued 2,812.5 shares of Exchangeable Preferred Stock to the holders of record as of March 1, 2001. The additional proceeds from issuance of long-term debt relates to additional term loans used to finance the Fairfield Atlas Limited expansion, capital requirements and operations. During 2000, operating cash flows and capital contributions were used to fund the preferred stock dividend. Management expects to use cash flows from operations and its Credit Facilities to fund the Company's planned capital requirements for the remainder of 2001, including capital expenditures, interest on long-term debt and preferred stock dividends.
	Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
	This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described in this report will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  This report should be read completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what the Company expects. The Company will not update these forward-looking statements, even though its situation will change in the future. Some of the factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition -- Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
