THE KELLER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002
AND DECEMBER 31, 2002


Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all 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 nine months ended September 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:

September 30,
2003
(Unaudited)
September 30,
2002
(Unaudited)
December 31,
2002
 
Raw materials     $ 1,943,585   $ 3,617,695   $ 3,122,773  
Work-in-process    2,665,857    5,433,259    3,653,633  
Finished goods    3,187,800    3,009,853    3,012,542  
Less: Obsolescence reserve    (336,150 )  ---    ---  



Net inventories   $ 7,461,092   $ 12,060,807   $ 9,788,948  



See also footnote 6, Inventory Obsolescence Reserve.

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.

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 statements 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 through the third quarter of 2003, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for operating loss carryforwards originating in the second and third quarters.

Note 6.    Inventory Obsolescence Reserve

During the third quarter of 2003 an inventory obsolescence reserve of $.3 million was established for slow moving and obsolete inventories. This amount has been reflected on the balance sheet as a reduction to the inventory balance at September 30, 2003, and is included in cost of sales for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2003.

Note 7.    Impairment of Fixed Assets

The Company performs reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

Equipment and improvements with an original cost of $1.3 million were written off in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of the initial stages of shutting down production at the Company’s Corydon, Indiana production facility creating a loss of $.4 million. Also related to the Corydon plant closing, equipment and improvements with an original cost of $6.2 million were adjusted to their net realizable values creating an impairment loss of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2003. Net realizable values were based on the estimated market values of the assets as of September 30, 2003.

Note 8.    Deferred Stock Compensation

In August 2003, the Board approved The Keller Manufacturing Company, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan and issuance of 560,000 options on common shares to certain executives at an exercise price less than market value with vesting periods over the next four years. The Company recorded approximately $24,000 of deferred stock compensation expense with a credit to shareholders’ equity during the third quarter. This amount represents the intrinsic value of stock options earned during the quarter. Future vesting is contingent upon continued employment by those executives.

Note 9.    Environmental Liabilities
