LANCER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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, 2001 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 Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on how goodwill and other intangible assets that are acquired or have already been recognized in the financial statements should be accounted for. Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and certain other intangible assets will no longer be amortized, but will be required to be reviewed periodically for impairment of value. The Company tested goodwill for impairment using the two-step process described in SFAS. 142. The first step is to screen for potential impairment, if any, while the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. The Company has performed an impairment analysis and concluded that the value of its goodwill is not impaired. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased the amortization of goodwill with a book value of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2002. Had amortization of goodwill not been recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the net earnings would have been increased by approximately $26,000, net of taxes, basic earning per share would have increased to $.06 and diluted earnings per share would have remained unchanged. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net earnings would have been increased by approximately $54,000, net of taxes; basic and diluted earnings per share would remain unchanged.

SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," issued in June 2001, establishes financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset. The Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 for the quarter ending March 31, 2003. To accomplish this, the Company must identify all legal obligations for asset retirement obligations, if any, and determine the fair value of these obligations on the date of adoption. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of." However, it retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical

Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers." This Statement amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to lease-back transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on May 16, 2002 with no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," issued in July 2002, addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. It nullifies 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)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability be recognized for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity only when the liability is incurred, that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB conceptual framework. SFAS No. 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company decided to close its Brazilian subsidiary. The Company expects the closure will be completed by December 31, 2002, through liquidation. In connection with the closure of the Brazilian subsidiary, the Company recorded an estimated loss from disposal of discontinued operations of $1.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 related to the write-down of the Brazilian subsidiary assets net of expected proceeds, foreign currency translation losses, and an accrual for estimated exit costs. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations of the Brazilian subsidiary as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For business segment reporting purposes, the Brazil operation was previously classified as the segment "Brazil."
