ITEM 1. BUSINESS
UNOVA, Inc. (the "Company" or "UNOVA") operates in two business segments:
Industrial Automation Systems ("IAS") and Automated Data Systems ("ADS"). For
the year ended December 31,1998, IAS generated revenues and operating profits of
$833.3 million and $76.9 million, respectively, and ADS produced revenues and
operating profits of $829.4 million and $55.4 million, respectively. The Company
became an independent public company upon the distribution of its common stock
to the shareholders of Western Atlas Inc. ("WAI") on October 31, 1997.
See Note K to the consolidated and combined financial statements for financial
information by industry segment and by geographical area.
Information related to business acquisitions, investments, and dispositions is
set forth in Note B to the consolidated and combined financial statements.
GENERAL
The Company is an industrial technologies company providing global customers
with solutions for improving their efficiency and productivity. The Industrial
Automation Systems business segment includes integrated manufacturing systems,
metal-cutting and composite production systems, body welding and assembly
systems, precision grinding and abrasive operations and stand-alone machine
tools, primarily serving the worldwide automotive, off-road vehicle, diesel
engine and aerospace manufacturing industries. The Automated Data Systems
business segment comprises automated data collection, network and mobile
computing products and services, principally serving the industrial market.
Customers include global distribution and transportation companies, food and
beverage operations, manufacturing industries, health care providers and
government agencies.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEMS. The Company is a major designer, producer and
integrator of manufacturing technologies, primarily for the global automotive,
off-road vehicle and diesel engine industries, but it also operates in the
aerospace, electronics, durable goods and the general job shop markets. Products
include integrated manufacturing systems for the production of powertrain
components such as engines, transmissions and connecting rods, and chassis
components such as steering knuckles, rear axle housings and brake calipers;
body welding and assembly systems; test and automation equipment for integration
into production lines; precision grinding and abrasives; multi-axis
manufacturing systems; profiling systems for composite materials; stand-alone
vertical and horizontal metal-cutting machining centers; the redesign,
remanufacturing and retooling of installed equipment; and design/ engineering
services.
During the fourth quarter of 1998, UNOVA acquired the machine tool business of
Cincinnati Milacron for approximately $180.0 million in cash, subject to
post-closing adjustments. The division, which was renamed Cincinnati Machine, A
UNOVA Company ("Cincinnati Machine"), is engaged in the design, manufacture,
sale and servicing of standard and advanced computer numerically controlled
metal cutting machine tools for the industrial component, aerospace, job shop,
fluid power and automotive industries.
During the third quarter of 1998, UNOVA acquired R & B Machine Tool Company, a
specialty machine and retooling company.
The Company's IAS segment includes the following divisions: Lamb Technicon
Machining Systems, Cincinnati Machine, Lamb Technicon Body & Assembly Systems,
Lamb Assembly & Test Systems,
1
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Modern Prototype, Lamb UK, Honsberg Lamb, Landis Gardner, Landis Lund, R & B
Machine Tool Company, Citco and Cranfield Precision.
The IAS segment's major offices and production facilities are located in
Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania and internationally in
Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany.
INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS. Manufacturing solutions are being designed and
integrated by the Company for auto and diesel customers, primarily for
powertrain components. Product lines include computer numeric control (CNC)
machines for low-volume applications, modular, flexible systems for
medium-volume production and transfer lines for high-volume production.
Integrated manufacturing systems, which include the operations of Cincinnati
Machine subsequent to the acquisition, accounted for 29%, 27% and 39% of the
Company's consolidated and combined revenues in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Virtual design, prototyping and simultaneous engineering techniques are used to
optimize solutions for complex automotive manufacturing projects. By working
closely with customers, especially during their product design and engineering
phase, the Company is able to develop machining processes that reduce capital
requirements, lower lifecycle costs, eliminate costly shop floor programming and
improve productivity by reducing downtime during operations.
Through its Assembly and Test Systems operations, the Company also designs and
builds specialized assembly and/or testing equipment and systems for a variety
of automotive manufacturing and other industries.
BODY AND ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS. The Company designs and integrates automated systems
to form, assemble and weld high-quality auto and truck bodies as well as other
industrial products. Robotic systems are integrated with high-precision holding
and alignment fixtures and high-volume welding equipment to produce components
and subassemblies. Proprietary processes have been developed specifically to
assemble doors, hoods and trunk lids, which historically represent the most
critical "fit and finish" manufacturing parts of car bodies.
Using 3-D computer simulations, UNOVA has established one of the broadest
process and tool design capabilities in the industry. Tool design and
prototyping are now linked into the product engineering process, reducing costs
and risks for automotive customers long before their programs move into the
capital investment stage. Body and Assembly Systems accounted for 8%, 14% and
12% of the Company's consolidated and combined revenues in fiscal 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
PRECISION GRINDING AND ABRASIVES. The Company is an innovator of cylindrical
grinding products and processes that improve accuracy and reliability in
critical engine parts. These processes ultimately result in lower emissions,
better fuel economies and reduced maintenance for car owners. Combined with the
centerless grinding activities from Cincinnati Machine, the Company has moved
into a leading position as a provider of advanced grinding applications in
non-automotive markets. Precision Grinding and Abrasives accounted for 13%, 15%
and 17% of the Company's consolidated and combined revenues in fiscal 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
Superabrasive grinding wheels, electronic controls, high-precision,
maintenance-free hydrostatic bearings and state-of-the-art, value-engineered
double disc grinding technologies enable today's car manufacturers to machine
parts with precision measured in the sub-micron range. Research into the
processing of new materials also has resulted in the development of
ultra-high-precision grinding and finishing techniques. These advances are being
applied to requirements of the microelectronics, computer, aerospace and optics
industries for the manufacture of materials such as composites, silicon, glass
and ceramics.
2
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
CINCINNATI MACHINE. The addition of the Cincinnati Machine operations (acquired
from Cincinnati Milacron) directly complements UNOVA's existing product range
and brings an established global distribution network in non-automotive markets.
The new division provides advanced systems such as multi-axis and composite
manufacturing systems for the aerospace industry; production systems, including
horizontal machining centers and flexible manufacturing cells, for the general
metalworking industry; and standard CNC machines such as vertical machining and
horizontal turning centers for job shops.
TECHNOLOGIES/TRENDS. UNOVA continues to develop manufacturing technologies to
broaden its product offerings and respond to automotive customers' needs to
lower costs, improve fuel consumption and decrease car emissions. New modular,
multi-spindle machining centers are reducing cycle time, and flexible fixturing
systems are under development to cut costs of high-volume machining. Advances in
grinding technologies are beginning to allow UNOVA to move into other markets,
where the Company's machines can be applied to finish non-metallic materials
with extreme accuracy.
AUTOMATED DATA SYSTEMS. The Company's automated data collection ("ADC") and
mobile computing systems business comprise the Intermec, Norand and UBI
activities. Intermec was acquired in 1991; Norand and UBI were acquired early in
1997. In 1997, these three companies were consolidated into one organization
called Intermec Technologies Corporation, serving the global bar code, data
collection and mobile computing market, which has grown approximately 12% to 15%
annually over the past five years. This organization is divided into three
global product divisions: Local Area Systems, Norand Mobile Systems and
Identification Systems. ADS, which included only Intermec's results until the
1997 acquisitions of Norand and UBI, accounted for 50%, 44% and 32% of the
Company's consolidated and combined revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
In 1998, the Company acquired the radio frequency identification ("RFID")
business unit of Amtech Corporation known as the Amtech Systems Group ("Amtech
Systems"), which became a division of Intermec Technologies Corporation. Amtech
Systems is a supplier of wireless data technologies for electronic toll
collection, rail and motor fleet tracking, and access control to parking and
other structures. The Company had previously purchased $10.0 million of Amtech
Corporation's common stock which was applied towards the purchase price of
Amtech Systems. According to industry statistics, the U.S. RFID market grew over
20% in 1998 to $655 million.
This combination of companies and capabilities establishes the Company as a
leading participant in the growing ADC marketplace. Together, they offer a broad
range of products which are used to gather, organize, process, transmit and
exchange information between various field-based or in-premise locations and
central computers or information retrieval systems. By facilitating sales order
processes, and tracking parts, work-in-process, finished products and people
through manufacturing, distribution and other commercial operations, industrial
users are able to control inventory and to improve the productivity, quality and
responsiveness of their operations, from supply chain management and enterprise
resource planning ("ERP") to field sales and service.
Major offices and manufacturing facilities are located in the states of Iowa,
Ohio and Washington; and internationally in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
Sweden, France and Australia.
LOCAL AREA SYSTEMS. The Company has demonstrated market leadership in the
wireless Local Area Network (LAN) industry by being first to provide a network
architecture that allows customers to use multiple radio technologies within one
LAN system. This Radio Independent-TM- wireless LAN solution supports all major
radio technologies (including synthesized UHF, 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz direct
sequence and frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum radio technologies), giving
customers the ability to choose the most efficient radio technology for their
facilities to solve data rate, transmission speed and
3
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
range issues in order to create a reliable communications environment. To ensure
compatibility with customer host systems, all major industry standard networks
are supported.
The Company has developed an extensive line of hand-held computers and
stationary and vehicle-mounted terminals that combine PC-type capability with
scanning and data transmission abilities. Intermec's family of products ranges
from low-cost, hand-held batch data collection devices to sophisticated and
powerful terminals, computers and network products. The Company's "open systems"
product design philosophy is to deliver maximum flexibility for customers with
diverse application requirements.
NORAND MOBILE SYSTEMS. As a leader in ruggedized mobile computing systems,
especially with its PEN*KEY-Registered Trademark- terminals, the Company
provides comprehensive data communications, wide-area networks, application
software, hand-held and truck-mounted PC-based products with peripherals and
printer solutions. These allow instant information exchange between companies'
field and central organizations, automating sales, distribution, electronic
billing, dispatching, routing and updating of customer information in real time.
Mobile computing refers to rugged PC-based devices for route accounting, meter
reading, field services and sales management, rather than general personal or
desktop computing applications. In combination with wireless communications,
mobile computing enables remote workers to have access to centralized computer
applications and databases and to send and receive information through wireless
networks for improved productivity, efficiency and accuracy of data.
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS. Intermec's Identification Systems products, which
include wands, imagers, charge-couple devices (CCD), badge and laser scanners,
as well as printers and media products, are able to read or collect data, and
then print the data on customized labels and tags.
The Company's line of flexible "on demand" bar code printers ranges from
low-cost, light- to heavy-duty industrial models that accommodate a wide array
of printing widths, materials and label configurations. A variety of specialty
printers provides custom capabilities including color printing, a global
language enabler and high-resolution (400 DPI) printing which ensures sharp
fonts and precise graphics, even on extremely small labels such as those used by
the electronics industry. The Company also supports its customers with a broad
range of label and tag solutions as well as other supplies for its printer
product range.
AMTECH SYSTEMS. Intermec's newest division, acquired in June 1998, is a leading
supplier of RFID solutions for intelligent transportation systems. Amtech
designs, manufactures, markets, integrates and supports innovative RFID products
and services for electronic toll and traffic management; rail, intermodal and
fleets; and access control for parking, security, airports and ground
transportation. Amtech formed a strategic business unit to develop the next
generation of low-cost RFID products for the transportation, security,
manufacturing and logistics markets. The division plans to offer its new
technology for integration with and to complement existing automatic
identification and data capture solutions such as bar code, mobile computing and
other enterprise-wide information systems.
TECHNOLOGIES/TRENDS. The Company is consistently broadening the application of
ADC and mobile computing by developing or integrating new technologies into its
product range. Recent examples include the Company's smart, vehicle-based
docking solution for pen-based computers as well as 2-D bar codes, smart cards
and RFID. Tags or labels based on RFID technology can be updated during their
use, making them an integral part of an electronic information network.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's strategy is to develop products, processes and services that help
improve productivity and efficiency in a variety of manufacturing and
distribution applications. Both of the Company's business segments offer single
products as well as integrated solutions to their customers.
Future growth in these businesses is expected to result from expansion of the
Company's existing operations and its customer base, and through acquisitions.
In seeking acquisitions, the Company will concentrate on technologies, products
and services that enhance customer productivity and efficiency, and those that
can be characterized as growth drivers.
In its IAS business segment, the Company plans to continue to develop its
existing customer base by seeking a greater role in customer projects, by
continuing its emphasis on product development and by expanding its
international activities. The ongoing development of the Company's ADC/mobile
computing activities will depend primarily on the application of new
technologies and products to maintain its position in this technology-driven
market. The Company believes it has the necessary technical expertise to achieve
this goal. Future geographic opportunities have been identified outside North
America, particularly in Europe, South America and Asia, where the use of data
collection technology is less developed. To capitalize on these emerging
markets, the Company is expanding its international marketing, distribution and
support network, and is engaged in an ongoing program to locate Company-owned
resources in key markets worldwide.
The Company continues to explore ways to increase its presence in market
segments where it presently holds a smaller market share, such as the
application of lower-volume flexible manufacturing systems and CNC machines. In
some areas the Company also has developed high-precision manufacturing
technologies that should allow it to establish a presence in growth markets such
as microelectronics with its new generation of ultra-high-precision wafer
grinders.
In recent years, cost-cutting needs and quality requirements in the automotive
industry have affected the Company's relationships with its customers. The
carmakers' trend toward fewer suppliers has benefited the Company and allowed it
to expand its market participation. These market-driven changes also have forced
many smaller competitors either to withdraw from the market or to reduce their
role to that of second or third tier suppliers. The Company's strategy has been
to establish an extensive outsourcing network of qualified suppliers in North
America and overseas, thereby avoiding unnecessary vertical integration and
gaining flexibility in its market approach.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEMS. The Company participates in the automotive
manufacturing and general manufacturing markets. Investments by automotive
customers are driven by model changes, competitive pressures, government
regulations such as emission standards and gasoline consumption rates, and by
the customers' own internal spending cycles. Investments in diesel engine
manufacturing are influenced by the infrastructure needs of emerging industrial
nations and by the efficiency benefits diesel engines offer for heavy and light
trucks and utility vehicles.
Customers for the Company's integrated manufacturing systems products are the
major auto and diesel manufacturers and their Tier One suppliers. Although the
passenger car and light truck industries continue to represent this division's
largest market, business from diesel engine manufacturers has grown in recent
years.
The Company believes that its future growth in this business segment will be
dependent on its ability to broaden the scope of products and services that it
markets to its current customer base, which allows
5
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
the Company to expand into other industrial manufacturing markets. This strategy
was further supported by the acquisition of Cincinnati Machine, which is already
participating in markets such as the aerospace and general metalworking
industries as well as the broad job shop market. Cincinnati Machine also brings
flexible CNC machine technology to the other IAS divisions, allowing them to
market these products and systems to the automotive supplies industry, while
products developed by the auto-related divisions can be sold through Cincinnati
Machine's global distribution network to other, non-automotive markets.
A substantial part of the IAS segment's total revenues is currently generated by
worldwide automotive and diesel engine industry purchases of automated
manufacturing systems, including integrated machining, body welding and assembly
and precision grinding systems. Among customers for such equipment, U.S. and
Canadian auto and auto-related manufacturers currently account for the majority
of Industrial Automation Systems sales. The remainder of sales represents
products manufactured and sold in Europe and those exported from the Company's
production facilities, mostly for installation in Latin America and Asia.
Recent major customers include U.S.-based Cummins, DaimlerChrysler, Ford,
General Motors, Navistar and Detroit Diesel; and Western Europe-based BMW/Rover,
Fiat, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, and the European
subsidiaries of the large U.S. manufacturers, as well as Tata (Telco) in India.
The Company has also won major systems contracts for the "transplant"
manufacturing facilities of foreign auto makers, including both European and
Japanese, and also serves the automotive components manufacturing market.
AUTOMATED DATA SYSTEMS. Because automated data systems represents technologies
that can be utilized by a company of any size, and small systems can be
installed at very low cost, the market is extensive. Worldwide sales of
automated data systems equipment reached over $5 billion in 1998, according to
estimates from independent research sources. These sources also predict that the
overall market will continue to grow at an annual rate of approximately 12% to
15% over the next several years.
Market growth is driven by the global need for technologies and solutions that
improve quality, productivity and cost-efficiency in business and government,
particularly through logistics automation, supply chain management and ERP
solutions. Worldwide coverage with a dedicated sales organization is therefore a
major advantage.
Through its application of technologies in the manufacturing,
warehouse-distribution, transportation, health care, government and other
non-retail markets, the Company maintains a strong position in the global
non-retail ADC/mobile computing market.
The Company sells and services its products through multiple sales and
distribution channels: a direct field sales force which concentrates on large,
complex systems sales; value added resellers that offer applications-specific
solutions; and alliances with major systems integrators. The Company's direct
sales organization serves customers from offices throughout North America and
Europe and in some selected countries outside these regions. An indirect sales
channel includes long-time exclusive relationships with value-added distributors
and master resellers.
Although the Company obtains approximately 60% of its sales through indirect
sales channels, no individual value-added distributor or reseller is material to
overall Company results. The Company also maintains contact with customers and
prospective users by having established user forums for automated data systems
applications and technologies.
The mobile computing systems market consists of several applications, such as
route accounting for the distribution and package/parcel delivery industries,
sales merchandising, remote delivery and field
6
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
service. These applications are generally used in the consumer products, food,
beverage, wholesale, parcel delivery, freight, field service and home service
industries.
Manufacturing applications include the collection and communication of
information related to receipt of materials, work-in-progress, finished goods
inventory and other functions throughout the manufacturing process. Warehousing
and distribution center applications involve the collection and communication of
information related to receiving materials to be stored, storage locations,
materials retrieval and shipping. Retail applications include the automation of
shelf label maintenance and product shipping and receiving functions.
International sales opportunities exist in countries where mobile computing
systems market practices and other applications are similar to those in the U.S.
The extent of RF systems opportunities in any particular country is based on the
level of industrialization, the status of bar coding implementation and the RF
regulatory environment. The major markets for printers are manufacturing,
distribution, warehousing, transportation, health care, government and other
services.
COMPETITION
Strong competition exists both in the domestic and international markets for the
Company's products and services. Products are sold and projects are won in the
marketplace based on price, technology and service.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEMS. While product quality is a key determinate in
the competition to win market share, pricing is also a major criterion in the
global market. Integrated Manufacturing Systems' strength is the ability to
design reliable and efficient manufacturing processes for its customers and
combine them with cost-effective machining solutions in order to win orders
against strong competition.
The North American and European market for high-volume production systems for
engines and transmissions is divided among approximately ten major competitors
and numerous smaller participants. Major competitors are Thyssen, Ingersoll
Milling and Grob-Werke (Germany).
In the body welding and assembly systems market, the Company is faced with
competitors that are involved in a broad range of assembly equipment and other
competitors that provide "niche" machines. Primary competitors include DCT,
Progressive Industries (PICO) and Valiant in North America; Thyssen, FFT and
Kuka in Germany and Comau in Italy.
In the worldwide market for high-precision grinding of engine parts, the Company
has achieved a strong market position through innovative products that improve
customer efficiency while reducing their capital costs. Major competitors are
the foreign companies Koyo and Toyoda in Japan; the Schleifring Group, Junker in
Germany; and Giustina in Italy.
Cincinnati Machine faces separate competitors in its different product markets
such as Ingersoll Milling, DST (Germany) and Forrest Line (France) in aerospace
systems; Mazak, Okuma and Mori Seiki (all Japan) in production systems; and
Fadal (Thyssen) and Haas (both North America) in the market for stand-alone
machines.
AUTOMATED DATA SYSTEMS. The market for ADC/mobile computing systems is highly
fragmented. Based on independent market surveys, management believes that
Intermec Technologies Corporation is one of the largest participants measured by
revenues. The other two major participants are Symbol and Telxon. The Company
also faces strong competition for single product lines from specialized
suppliers.
7
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
The Company competes on the basis of its open modular systems approach, network
and communications expertise, applications software, level of sales and support
services, and product functionality, performance, ruggedness and overall
quality.
The market for mobile computing and RF products is highly competitive and
rapidly changing. Some firms manufacture and market hand-held systems for route
accounting applications, including Telxon and Fujitsu. In addition, a number of
firms manufacture and market radio-linked data communication products, including
LXE, Teklogix, Symbol, and Telxon. On the printer side, the Company faces
competition from Zebra/Eltron, Datamax and many others, depending on the
geographic area.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Companywide expenditures on research and development activities amounted to
$71.5 million, $53.1 million and $29.7 million, substantially all of which was
sponsored by the Company, in the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The Company expensed a total of $211.5 million of acquired
in-process research and development in 1997. See further discussion in Note B to
the consolidated and combined financial statements.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company owns a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights relating
to its manufactured products, which have been secured over a period of years.
These patents, trademarks and copyrights have been of value in the growth of the
Company's business and may continue to be of value in the future. However, the
Company's business generally is not dependent upon the protection of any patent,
patent application or patent license agreement, or group thereof, and would not
be materially affected by expiration thereof.
The Company has approximately 40 patent licenses under which it paid out or
received income in the year ended December 31, 1998. During 1998, the aggregate
amount of license fees paid by the Company was approximately $6.2 million, and
the aggregate amount of license fees received was approximately $7.8 million.
SEASONALITY; BACKLOG
Sales backlog was $831 million, $395 million and $595 million at December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The operations of the Company are not
seasonal to any appreciable degree. The majority of the Company's backlog is
concentrated in the IAS segment. The ADS market typically operates without a
significant backlog of firm orders and does not consider backlog to be a
relevant measure of future sales.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 10,361 full-time employees,
of which approximately 6,477 are engaged in the IAS segment, approximately 3,761
in the ADS business and approximately 123 in corporate and shared services.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
During 1998, the amounts incurred to comply with federal, state and local
legislation pertaining to environmental standards did not have a material effect
upon the capital expenditures or earnings of the Company.
8
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
Radio emissions are the subject of governmental regulation in all countries in
which the Company currently conducts business. In North America, both the
Canadian and the U.S. governments publish relevant regulations, and changes to
these regulations are made only after public discussion. In some countries
regulatory changes can be introduced with little or no grace period for
implementing the specified changes. Furthermore, there is little consistency
among the regulations of various countries outside North America, and future
regulatory changes in North America are possible. These conditions introduce
uncertainty into the product planning process and could have an adverse effect
on the ADC/ Mobile Computing business.
The European Community ("EC") has passed a directive requiring its members to
adopt laws relating to electro-magnetic compatibility and emissions standards.
These standards will apply to ADC/Mobile Computing products sold in EC member
countries as those countries adopt the EC standards into law. Currently, the
Company believes that its products are in material compliance with the
regulations in force in each of the EC member countries.
RAW MATERIALS
The Company uses a wide variety of raw materials in the manufacture of its
products and obtains such raw materials from a variety of suppliers. No single
supplier provides 10% or more of the Company's raw materials, nor do raw
materials from any one supplier generate 10% or more of the Company's
consolidated revenues. The Company does not have any long-term supply agreements
relating to raw materials.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
UNOVA's corporate headquarters building at 360 North Crescent Drive, Beverly
Hills, California was sold in December 1998. The Company is currently leasing
office space in the Beverly Hills building but plans to move the corporate
headquarters to a leased facility at 21900 Burbank Boulevard, Woodland Hills,
California in 1999.
Its principal plants and offices have an aggregate floor area of approximately
8,238,239 square feet, of which 7,209,484 square feet (88%) are located in the

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO 1997
Total sales and service revenues increased $236.5 million, or 17% for the year
ended December 31, 1998 compared with the corresponding prior period. Total
segment operating profit increased $28.6 million, or 28% for the year ended
December 31, 1998 compared to the corresponding prior period.
IAS revenues increased $43.5 million, or 6% while related operating profit
decreased $17.7 million, or 19% for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared
with the corresponding prior period. The increase in IAS revenues is primarily
attributable to the acquisitions of Cincinnati Machine and R&B Machine Tool,
which are discussed below. Startup issues on a new product line at Lamb Honsberg
in Germany impacted operating profit in 1998. In addition, the IAS segment began
several new projects in 1998 that are not expected to materially affect sales
and profits until next year. Delays caused by unexpected customer changes were
encountered in the engineering phase of these new projects. Conversely, during
the first half of 1997, the integrated manufacturing systems operations
experienced a higher level of sales and profits from contracts in the final
delivery and installation phase. IAS backlog increased from $332.0 million at
December 31, 1997 to $705.5 million at December 31, 1998.
ADS segment sales increased $193.0 million or 30% and operating profit increased
$46.3 or 509% for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared with the
corresponding prior period. The sales and operating profit increases are due
primarily to new licensing revenues, internal growth and the contribution of a
full year of operations and the realization of improved profitability from the
integration of the Norand and UBI acquisitions, offset by information system
problems that negatively impacted the results of the third and fourth quarter.
These problems, which were caused by the larger volume of business that resulted
from the integration, did not allow the ADS segment to fully realize the
benefits of its integration activities in 1998. A new information system,
designed to resolve these problems, will become operational during 1999.
In October 1998, UNOVA acquired the machine tool business of Cincinnati Milacron
for approximately $180.0 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments.
The division, which was renamed Cincinnati Machine, a UNOVA Company ("Cincinnati
Machine"), is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of standard
and advanced computer numerically controlled metal cutting machine tools for the
13
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
industrial component, aerospace, job shop, fluid power and automotive
industries. Cincinnati Machine has become part of the Company's Industrial
Automation Systems ("IAS") segment. The acquisition cost has been allocated on a
preliminary basis to the net assets acquired based on their relative fair
values. The acquisition was funded using the Company's committed credit facility
and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
During the third quarter of 1998, UNOVA acquired R&B Machine Tool Company ("R&B
Machine"), a specialty machine and retooling company. This acquisition was
funded using short-term uncommitted credit lines. In June 1998, the Company
acquired the radio frequency identification ("RFID") business unit of Amtech
Corporation known as the Amtech Systems Division ("Amtech Systems"). Amtech
Systems is a supplier of wireless data technologies for electronic toll
collection, rail and motor fleet tracking, and access control to parking and
other structures. The Company had previously purchased $10.0 million of Amtech
Corporation common stock which was applied towards the purchase price of Amtech
Systems.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $40.7 million to $57.0 million from
the year ended December 31, 1997 to the year ended December 31, 1998. This
increase is primarily due to higher amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles resulting from the Norand and UBI acquisitions, as well as
additional depreciation from capital expenditures and business acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased $59.3 million
from the year ended December 31, 1997 to the year ended December 31, 1998.
However, as a percentage of sales, SG&A remained constant at 23% in both years.
The increase in the amount is due primarily to 1998 acquisitions as well as the
increase in the Company's sales and service revenues over the prior year.
Net interest expense was $25.7 million and $16.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase is attributable to an
increase in outstanding debt due primarily to the acquisitions of Norand and UBI
in 1997 and Cincinnati Machine, R&B Machine and Amtech Systems in 1998.
Other income, net consists of a gain of $35.5 million recognized on the sale of
UNOVA's corporate headquarters building, offset by other non-operating expenses.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO 1996
Total sales and service revenues increased $261.5 million, or 22% for the year
ended December 31, 1997 compared with the corresponding prior period. Total
segment operating profit, excluding the $211.5 million charges for acquired
in-process research and development, increased $4.1 million, or 4% for the year
ended December 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding prior period.
IAS revenues decreased $7.6 million, or 1% and related operating profit
increased $25.1 million, or 36% for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared
with the corresponding prior period. The decrease in IAS revenues is primarily
attributable to the sale of the Material Handling Systems ("MHS") division in
November 1996, which offsets an increase in integrated manufacturing systems
revenues. IAS experiences lower profit margins in the early stages of long-term
contracts until the development risks have been mitigated. During 1997 the
integrated manufacturing systems operations experienced a higher level of
revenues and profits from contracts in the final delivery and installation
phase. These projects contributed to an increase in operating margins for IAS
from 8.7% in 1996 to 12.0% in 1997. Accordingly, IAS backlog declined from
$545.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $332.0 million at December 31, 1997.
14
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Also contributing to the increased operating profit are nonrecurring costs
recorded in 1996 associated with the MHS sale and the reorganization of the
Company's IAS European operations and domestic grinding businesses.
ADS revenues increased by $269.1 million, or 73% due to the acquisitions of
Norand Corporation ("Norand") and United Barcode Industries ("UBI"). However,
ADS operating profit declined by $21.0 million, or 70% due primarily to the
process of integrating the newly acquired companies with Intermec and the costs
of a long-term contract related to wireless RFID technology purchased from IBM
Corporation.
The Company acquired Norand on March 3, 1997, and UBI on April 4, 1997. Norand
designs, manufactures and markets mobile computing systems and wireless data
communications networks using radio frequency technology. UBI is a
European-based automated data collection company headquartered in Sweden. These
companies were integrated into Intermec Technologies Corporation. Both
transactions were funded by WAI borrowings and cash on hand, and have been
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the
acquisition costs (approximately $280.0 million and $107.0 million for Norand
and UBI, respectively) were allocated to the net assets acquired based upon
their relative fair values. Such allocation resulted in $203.3 million assigned
to in-process research and development activities; $154.1 million assigned to
goodwill (amortized over 25 years); and $29.0 million assigned to other
intangibles (amortized over periods ranging from 4 to 18 years). During the
second quarter of 1997, the Company expensed the amounts assigned to acquired
in-process research and development in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 4.
The Company acquired the remaining 51% of Honsberg, a German machine tool maker,
in the second quarter of 1997. The original 49% of Honsberg was acquired during
1995. The Company acquired the stamping, engineering, and prototyping division
of Modern Prototype Company in September 1997. In December 1997, UNOVA acquired
Goldcrown Machinery, Inc., a manufacturer of precision centerless grinding
systems. Also, in November 1997, the Company acquired 13% of the common stock of
Amtech Corporation, which was applied toward the purchase price of Amtech's RFID
business in 1998.
SG&A expense as a percentage of sales and service revenues increased to 22.7%
for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 18.8% in 1996. This increase
is primarily due to a higher percentage of the Company's 1997 sales coming from
the ADS segment, where SG&A rates are historically higher than those experienced
in the IAS segment. ADS sales as a percentage of total Company sales increased
to 44.6% in 1997 from 31.5% in 1996.
Net interest expense was $16.7 million and $7.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an
increase in the level of Western Atlas allocated debt from $109.6 million at
December 31, 1996 to $230.0 million at October 31, 1997 (when the Company paid
this amount to WAI as an intercompany dividend). The increase in allocated debt
is primarily attributable to the 1997 acquisitions of Norand and UBI.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is subject to the effects of international currency fluctuations due
to the global nature of its operations. Currency fluctuations did not have a
significant impact on operations during fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996. It is
not possible to predict the Company's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations
beyond the near term because revenues generated from particular foreign
jurisdictions vary widely over time. The Company hedges transactions from time
to time, but the amount and volume of such transactions are not material.
15
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
For fiscal year 1998, the Company derived approximately 36% of its revenues and
approximately 26% of its operating profits (exclusive of corporate overhead)
from non-U.S. operations. At December 31, 1998, identifiable assets attributable
to foreign operations comprised 22% of total assets. As the largest components
of these foreign assets are attributable to European operations, the exposure of
identifiable assets to foreign currency fluctuations or expropriations is not
significant.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and marketable securities increased from $13.7 million at December 31, 1997
to $17.7 million at December 31, 1998. Total debt increased from $303.6 million
at December 31, 1997 to $603.8 million at December 31, 1998 due to the
acquisitions of Cincinnati Machine, R&B Machine and Amtech Systems and the
normal capital expenditure and working capital needs of the operations.
In March 1998, the Company sold $200.0 million principal amount of senior
unsecured debt. The sale comprised $100.0 million of 6.875% seven-year notes, at
a price of 99.867 and $100.0 million of 7.00% ten-year notes, at a price of
99.856. Including underwriting fees, discounts and effects of forward rate
agreements entered into by the Company to hedge the interest rates on the debt,
the effective interest rates on the seven-year and ten-year notes are 7.125% and
7.175%, respectively. The net proceeds of approximately $198.0 million were used
by the Company to repay outstanding debt.
The Company has two unsecured committed credit facilities with a group of banks
from which it may borrow up to $500.0 million. Under these credit facilities,
the Company may borrow at the prime rate or at rates based on the London Inter
Bank Offered Rate, certificates of deposit or other rates that are mutually
acceptable to the banks and the Company. At February 12, 1999, $300.0 million of
these credit facilities was available for the Company's general use. In
addition, the Company maintains other uncommitted credit facilities and lines of
credit of which $89.3 million was available to the Company at February 12, 1999.
The Company expects that cash flow from operations, along with available
borrowing capacity, will be adequate to meet working capital requirements.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs designed to define a year
using two digits rather than four. As such, a date sensitive field using "00"
could be recognized as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, potentially
causing the worst case scenario of a system failure or other business
disruption.
The operating segments of the Company formed internal review teams to address
the Year 2000 issue. The teams are monitored on an ongoing basis by executive
management. As a result of this review, the Company has identified its
significant information technology and non-information technology systems that
will require modification to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Internal and external
resources are being used to make the required modifications and test Year 2000
compliance. Although there can be no assurance that the Company will identify
and correct every Year 2000 problem, the Company believes that it has in place a
comprehensive program to identify and correct any such problems. The Company
plans to complete the internal modification and testing process prior to
December 31, 1999.
UNOVA is also actively working with its significant suppliers and customers to
assess their Year 2000 compliance efforts and the Company's exposure to them.
While the Company currently does not anticipate problems related to third party
Year 2000 issues, the Company will continue to assess potential risk from third
parties. However, there can be no assurance that Year 2000 problems originating
with a supplier or other third party will not occur.
16
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Company has also assessed the capability of its products to determine
whether they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that all of its
current products are Year 2000 compliant. UNOVA has not tested products that are
no longer sold by the Company and the Company does not believe it is legally
responsible for costs incurred by customers related to ensuring their Year 2000
capability. However, the Company is providing customer support and customer
satisfaction services related to Year 2000 issues. UNOVA defines "Year 2000
compliant" as a product that, when used properly and in conformity with the
product information provided by the Company, will accurately transition data
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including leap year
calculations, provided that all other technology used in combination with the
product properly exchanges data with the UNOVA product.
In addition, the Company has begun internal discussions concerning contingency
planning to address potential problem areas with internal systems and third
parties. If deemed necessary, these contingency plans will be developed prior to
December 31, 1999.
The Company estimates that the total incremental cost of these Year 2000
compliance activities will be approximately $7.0 million. Of these costs, it is
estimated that approximately $1.5 million are expense items and the remaining
$5.5 million are capitalizable. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has
incurred approximately $3.3 million of Year 2000 costs of which about $500
thousand was expensed and approximately $2.8 million was capitalized. These
costs and the date on which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000
modification are based on management's best estimates, which were derived
utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
from those plans. Based on currently available information, management does not
believe that Year 2000 issues will have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. However, the Year 2000
problem has many aspects and potential consequences, some of which are not
reasonably foreseeable, and there can be no assurance that unforeseen
consequences will not arise.
INFLATION
In the opinion of management, inflation has not been a significant factor in the
markets in which the Company operates and has not had a significant impact upon
the results of its operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 1999. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this
statement.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company cautions readers that, in addition to the historical information
covered in this discussion and analysis, included are certain forward-looking
statements and information that are based on management's beliefs as well as on
assumptions made by and information currently available to management. They
include, but are not limited to, statements about the demand for the Company's
products and services, the Company's ability to profitably exploit new
technologies acquired or developed, and the Company's ability to realize its
intentions with respect to the future performance of operations being acquired.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause the
Company's future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in
any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the
17
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Company. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following which are
beyond the Company's control: fluctuations in the strength of the automotive and
aerospace markets; technological changes and developments, particularly in the
ADC/Mobile Computing System industry; the presence of competitors with greater
financial and other resources; the availability and cost of materials and
supplies; relations with the Company's employees; the Company's ability to
manage its operating costs and to integrate acquired businesses in an effective
manner; worldwide political stability and economic conditions; regulatory
uncertainties; operating risks associated with international operations; and the
risk that the Company's due diligence procedures may have failed to reveal
undisclosed material information concerning acquired operations. Any
forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors, many
of which are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Readers are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company
disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its short-term and
long-term borrowings and to exchange rate risk with respect to its foreign
operations and from foreign currency transactions. The information presented
below summarizes the Company's cash flows for its borrowings and related
interest rates by dates of maturity. Variable interest rates disclosed represent
the weighted average rates of the borrowings at December 31, 1998. Fair values
have been determined based on quoted market prices. The information presented
below should be read in conjunction with Note C to the Consolidated and Combined
Financial Statements.
DEBT 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 THEREAFTER TOTAL FAIR VALUE

Average Interest Rate 5.36% 7.03% 7.24% 5.37% 5.52%
The Company from time to time enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to
hedge certain foreign currency transactions and commitments and to reduce its
exposure from investments in certain foreign operations. These contracts were
not significant at December 31, 1998. The Company does not enter into any
foreign currency contracts for trading purposes. A hypothetical 10% change in
the relevant currency rates at December 31, 1998 would not have a material
impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
UNOVA, Inc.
Beverly Hills, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated and combined balance sheets of
UNOVA, Inc. and subsidiaries (as described in Note A) as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related consolidated and combined statements of operations,
changes in shareholders' investment, and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated and combined financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UNOVA, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

UNOVA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL INFORMATION. UNOVA, Inc. ("UNOVA" or the "Company") became an
independent public company on October 31, 1997 (the "Distribution Date"), when
all of the UNOVA common stock was distributed to holders of common stock of
Western Atlas Inc. ("WAI"), in the form of a dividend (the "Distribution").
Every WAI shareholder of record on October 24, 1997 was entitled to receive one
share of UNOVA common stock for each WAI share of common stock held.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS. UNOVA is an industrial technologies company providing
global customers with solutions for improving their efficiency and productivity.
The Automated Data Systems business segment comprises automated data collection
("ADC") and mobile computing products and services, principally serving the
industrial market. Customers are global distribution and transportation
companies, food and beverage operations, manufacturing industries, health care
providers and government agencies. The Industrial Automation Systems business
segment includes integrated manufacturing systems, body welding and assembly
systems, precision grinding and abrasives operations, and machining systems and
stand-alone machine tools primarily serving the worldwide automotive, off-road
vehicle, diesel engine and aerospace manufacturing industries.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND COMBINATION. The consolidated and combined
financial statements include those of the Company, its subsidiaries and
companies in which UNOVA has a controlling interest. Investments in companies
over which UNOVA has influence but not a controlling interest are accounted for
using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All
material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The combined financial statements for all periods presented prior to the
Distribution Date include the historical accounts and operations of the former
WAI businesses that now comprise the Company. They include, at their historical
amounts, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly related and
those allocated to the businesses that now comprise the Company's operations. A
pro rata share of certain general and administrative corporate costs incurred by
WAI prior to the Distribution Date have been allocated to the Company based on
the relative ratio of such projected costs to be incurred by WAI and the Company
individually. Such costs include general management, legal, tax, treasury,
insurance, financial audit, financial reporting, human resources and real estate
services.
The Company's debt prior to the Distribution Date includes an allocation of a
portion of WAI's corporate debt, based on the Company's estimated past capital
requirements. Interest expense related thereto has been included in the
Company's statements of operations at WAI's estimated blended historical rate of
interest on long-term borrowings of 7.5%.
Management believes the above stated allocations were made on a reasonable
basis; however, they do not necessarily reflect the results of operations which
would have occurred had the Company been an independent entity nor are they
necessarily indicative of future expenses or income (see Note J).
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses for each reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers time deposits and commercial paper
purchased within three months of their date of maturity to be cash equivalents.
F-7
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INVENTORIES. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out or last-in, first-out method.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues are generally recognized when products are
shipped or as services are performed. Revenues and profits on long-term
contracts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion, cost to cost method
of accounting. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to operations as
soon as they are determinable. General and administrative costs are expensed as
incurred.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs are charged to expense
as incurred. Total expenditures on research and development activities amounted
to $71.5 million, $53.1 million and $29.7 million, in the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. The Company expensed a total of $211.5
million of acquired in-process research and development in 1997. See further
discussion in Note B.
OTHER INCOME, NET. In the year ended December 31, 1998, other income, net
consists of a gain of $35.5 million recognized on the sale of UNOVA's corporate
headquarters building, offset by other non-operating expenses.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost.
Depreciation, computed generally by the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes, is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets.
INCOME TAXES. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and
liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. See
further discussion in Note G.
The Company's domestic operations and their foreign branches were included in
WAI's consolidated tax returns (for periods prior to the Distribution Date). Any
tax benefits related to these operations have been recorded in these financial
statements if such were realizable by WAI on a consolidated basis. Foreign
entities included in these financial statements pay taxes in accordance with
local laws and regulations.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK. Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents with high credit quality institutions and limits the amount of
credit exposure with any one institution. Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of
geographically diverse customers make up the Company's customer base, thus
spreading the trade credit risk. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of
its customers and maintains an allowance for anticipated losses.
No customer was significant to the Company's revenues in 1998. In 1997, one
automotive customer represented 13% of revenues, while in 1996 another
automotive customer represented 15% of revenues.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES. The currency effects of translating the financial
statements of the Company's foreign entities that operate in local currency
environments are included in the "cumulative currency translation adjustment"
component of shareholders' investment. Currency transaction gains and losses are
included in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and were not
material for any periods presented herein.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The Company from time to time enters into foreign
currency exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency transactions and
commitments and to reduce its exposure from
F-8
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
investments in certain foreign operations. The amount and volume of such
transactions are not material. The Company does not enter into any foreign
currency contracts for trading purposes.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis
over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Other intangibles are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from four to 18 years.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL. The Company assesses the
recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill at the end of each fiscal year
or as circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
fully recoverable. Factors considered in evaluating recoverability include
management's plans for the operations to which the asset relates and the
historical earnings and projected undiscounted cash flows of such operations. An
impairment is recorded to writedown long-lived assets and goodwill to their
estimated fair value if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
the asset are less than its carrying amount.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS. Provisions for environmental costs are recorded when the
Company determines its responsibility for remedial efforts and such amounts are
reasonably estimable.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting this statement.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.
