BASIS OF PRESENTATION All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. It is suggested that the consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT Effective January 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 provides guidance on accounting and financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and the periodic measurement of those instruments at fair value. The Company has determined that hedge accounting will not be elected for derivatives existing at January 1, 2001, which consist of interest rate swap agreements. Future changes in the fair value of those derivatives will be recorded in income. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative-effect-type expense to other comprehensive income of $51,000 which will be recognized in interest expense over the term of the interest rate swap agreements ranging from 11 months to 24 months. As of March 31, 2001, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a liability of $286,000. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recognized in interest expense $10,000 relating to the transition adjustment and $235,000 relating to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, respectively. 3. INVENTORY COMPONENTS Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis (average cost as to raw materials and supplies) or market (net realizable value). Inventory components are as follows (dollars in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 --------- ------------ Finished goods $16,273 $16,407 Work in process 11,884 11,043 Raw material and supplies 11,871 12,774 ------- ------- $40,028 $40,224 ======= ======= 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options approximated 192,662 shares and 124,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 6 7 LANCER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5.

When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "plan," and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the Company or its subsidiaries or Company management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions which exist or must be made as a result of certain factors including, without limitation, competitive factors, general economic conditions, customer relations, relationships with vendors, the interest rate environment, governmental regulation and supervision, seasonality, distribution networks, product introductions and acceptance, one-time events and other factors described herein and in other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, forecast, planned or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $30.0 million, up 8% from net sales in the same quarter of 2000. Most of the increase came in the North America region, where sales rose 16%. Sales increased 47% in Latin America (excluding Brazil) and 39% in Europe. Market conditions in the two regions improved somewhat from the weakness that existed in the first quarter of 2000. Sales in the Pacific region declined 38% because of lower demand for equipment following the completion of the 2001 Olympic Games in Australia. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2001 was 23.7%, up from 22.4% in the first quarter of 2000. The margin improvement in 2001 resulted from manufacturing cost reductions and higher volumes than in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2001, up from $4.9 million in the same period last year. Expenses associated with the Company's Advanced Beverage Solutions subsidiary, which was formed in the second quarter of 2000, plus higher compensation expenses accounted for most of the increase. First quarter interest expense rose to $1.1 million in 2001 from $0.7 million in 2000. Interest expense in 2001 includes a $245,000 expense relating to the accounting for certain interest rate swap agreements under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. The increase in interest expense also reflects higher average borrowings in the first quarter of 2001. The minority interest benefit of $0.1 million in the third quarter of both 2001 and 2000 stems from the Company's majority ownership position in Lancer Ice Link, LLC, and represents the minority partner's share of the subsidiary's losses. Lancer Ice Link's financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company. Other income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2001 includes a $1.0 million gain in the quarter relating to the cancellation of a project. The effective tax rate was 38.7% in the first quarter of 2001, compared to 43.9% in the first quarter of 2000. The lower rate in 2001 reflects the fact that a larger proportion of the Company's income was earned in lower tax jurisdictions. Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $0.9 million, compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter last year. 8 9 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and amounts available under the Company's existing lines of credit. The Company has met, and currently expects that it will continue to meet, substantially all of its working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as its debt service requirements, with funds provided by operations and borrowings under its credit facilities. The Company is in compliance with, or has obtained waivers of, the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement that governs the Company's primary credit facilities. Cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million in the first three months of 2001, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2000. The Company made capital expenditures of $1.3 million in the 2001 quarter, primarily for production tooling. The capital spending was financed with cash from operations and increased borrowings. Accounting Matters The Company maintains a DISC in order to defer income taxes on its foreign sales. The Company continues to evaluate the benefit of converting the DISC to a Foreign Sales Corporation. At the time of such conversion, the Company will be required to provide for federal income taxes on $2.4 million of undistributed earnings of the DISC. See 2000 Form 10-K. The Internal Revenue Service is examining the Company's U.S. income tax return for 1999. Management does not believe that any significant adjustments will be required as a result of this review. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There have been no significant changes in the Company's market risk factors since December 31, 2000.
