NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED April 30, 2000 (unaudited)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company is engaged in the business of remanufacturing
and distribution, on a wholesale basis, of engines and other automobile parts
for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobiles and trucks. On October 1, 1998, the
Company signed a new sales agreement with Ford Motor Company authorizing the
Company to be a Ford authorized distributor. Remanufactured engines for non-Ford
vehicles are also marketed on a limited basis. The principal markets for the
Company's products are automotive dealers and jobber supply houses.
PRESENTATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Universal Mfg. Co. and its subsidiary, Universal Distribution LLC.
Universal Distribution LLC, owned 99% by Universal Mfg. Co. and 1% by the
Company's president, was established on June 30, 1999 to operate the Company's
distribution operations. The remanufacturing operations remained within
Universal Mfg. Co. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated to consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last -in first-out
method) or market.
DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally as
follows:
ASSETS DEPRECIATION METHOD LIVES
Buildings Straight-line and declining balance 10 - 31.5 years
Mach & Equip Declining balance 7 - 10 years
Furniture & Fix. Declining balance 5 - 7 years
Trucks & Auto's Declining balance 3 - 5 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful service
lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost and related
depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of
disposal.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized upon
shipment of product.
CASH EQUIVALENT - For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
WARRANTY - Warranty expense is based upon receipt of warranty claims and prior
historical experience.

<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(unaudited)
Financial Instruments - Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable are short term in nature and the values at which they are
recorded are considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair market values.
Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share have been computed on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. (816,000 shares.)
Company Representation - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of April 30,2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for
the nine month periods, and three month periods ending April 30,2000 and 1999.
The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company
suggests that these condensed, consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999.
EPA PROJECT COSTS
In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which contained eight counts of
alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the
Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The complaint alleges, among other
things, that the Company failed to adequately test and properly transport
certain residue of hazardous wastes, which it was treating at its facility. The
Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA, dated
May 6, 1994, which provides for settlement of this complaint. This settlement
called for payment of civil penalties of $32,955 and for completion of certain
remedial projects, estimated to cost approximately $149,725. Total costs paid
slightly exceeded this amount.
On June 10, 1998, the Company received notice from the EPA authorizing
submission of a proposal for treatment of additional contamination found after
the initial hazardous waste was removed. The EPA approved that costs related to
studies for the removal of the additional contamination could be offset against
the remaining liability. On August 6, 1998, the Company received a proposal to
study the additional contamination. This study is now complete, with the costs
being included in the above settlement amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
Sales for the third quarter were 17% higher than the third quarter a year ago.
This resulted in 12 % higher sales for the first nine months of the fiscal year.
Sales of engine assemblies and of Motorcraft branded products led to sales
increases, and accounted for strong overall sales despite unit sales decreases
of several other remanufactured product lines.
Third quarter earnings this year were slightly lower than third quarter earnings
last year. This was due to a gain on the sale of property a year ago. Income
from operations was $140,000.00 higher the third quarter of this fiscal year
than the third quarter of last year, due to higher sales. Cost of goods sold as
a percentage of sales was the same for each quarter of each year, but selling,
warehouse, and administrative expenses were down for the third quarter of this
year as opposed to third quarter of last year.
The lower level of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter compared
to a year ago was due to increased inventory investment. This inventory
investment increase is the result of higher prices on transmission and engine
assemblies, and of increased inventory of Motorcraft products required to
support increased sales levels.
