THE KELLER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002


Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003 or any other interim period.

Note 2.    Inventories

The following is a summary of the major classes of inventories:

June 30, 2003
June 30, 2002
December 31, 2002
(Unaudited) (Unaudited)
 
Raw materials     $ 2,252,825   $ 3,726,648   $ 3,122,773  
Work-in-process    3,058,812    5,733,324    3,653,633  
Finished goods    3,347,190    2,771,146    3,012,542  



Net inventories   $ 8,658,827   $ 12,231,118   $ 9,788,948  



Note 3.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement 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).” The Company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2003. Management has concluded that the adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 4.    Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and concentrations in products, sources of supply and markets that could affect the consolidated financial statements and future operations of the Company.




– 6 –

Note 5.    Income Taxes

The Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statement or income tax return. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. Because of the continuous losses in the second quarter of 2003, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for operating loss carryforwards originating in the second quarter.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion contains statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Such statements may include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of The Keller Manufacturing Company, Inc. (the “Company”) or its officers with respect to (i) the Company’s strategic plans, (ii) the policies of the Company regarding capital expenditures, financing or other matters, and (iii) industry trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Readers of this discussion are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. This section presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2003, June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2002 and the consolidated results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data presented elsewhere herein and with the financial statements and other financial data as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included the Company’s December 31, 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation allowances, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, derivative contracts, pension benefits and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or based on different assumptions. The Company believes that the following significant accounting policies are very complex and their application involves a high degree of judgment.

        Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when title transfers to the customer and all requirements of the sale are complete. The timing of the sale and transfer of ownership depends on the individual customer and is agreed to before order acceptance. Typically, title transfers are completed when product leaves one of the Company’s warehouses.

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that might result from its customers failing to make required payments. The Company bases its allowances on the likelihood of recovery of accounts receivable based on past experience and current collection trends. If economic or specific industry trends worsen beyond the Company’s estimates, the Company would increase its allowance for doubtful accounts by recording additional expense.




– 7 –

        Pension Benefits. The amounts recognized in the financial statements related to pension benefits are determined on an actuarial basis, the calculation of which requires many assumptions. A significant assumption used in determining the Company’s net pension cost is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Based on input from the Company’s actuarial firm, the Company assumed an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 7.50% for both fiscal 2002 and 2001. Another significant estimate that affects the Company’s pension cost is the discount rate used in the annual actuarial valuation of pension benefit. The discount rate represents the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future cash flows required to settle the pension obligations. Based on input from the Company’s actuarial firm, the Company assumed a discount rate of 6.50% and 7.25% in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. If enacted tax rates change, the Company would adjust its deferred tax assets and liabilities through the provision for income taxes. The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance of its deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of expected future benefits.
