Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 present the financial position and results of operations of Alliance
Laundry Holdings LLC (the "Company") following the May 1998 recapitalization
(the "Recapitalization") and merger discussed in Note 2. The merger has been
accounted for as a recapitalization and accordingly, the historical accounting
basis of the assets and liabilities is unchanged. The financial statements as
of and for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 represent the consolidated financial
position and results of operations of the Company, including its wholly-owned
direct and indirect subsidiaries, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC and Alliance
Laundry Corporation which were formed in connection with the Recapitalization.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position and operating
results of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for
such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to
be expected for the full year.
These financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such regulations, although the Company believes the
disclosures provided are adequate to prevent the information presented from
being misleading. Certain amounts in the March 29, 1998 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial presentation.
This report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file no. 333-56857) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes the audited financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998.
NOTE 2. MERGER OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
On May 5, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") among Bain/RCL, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Bain
LLC"), RCL Acquisitions LLC ("MergeCo"), Raytheon Commercial Laundry LLC and
Raytheon Company ("Raytheon"), MergeCo was merged with and into Raytheon
Commercial Laundry LLC (the "Merger") with Raytheon Commercial Laundry LLC being
the surviving entity. Immediately following the merger Raytheon Commercial
Laundry LLC was renamed to "Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC". Prior to the
Merger, Raytheon owned 100% of the equity securities of Raytheon Commercial
Laundry LLC, and Bain LLC, the BRS Investors (as defined), and certain members
of management owned 100% of the equity securities of MergeCo. As a result of
the Merger (i) Raytheon's limited liability company interest in Raytheon
Commercial Laundry LLC was converted into the right to receive (a) an aggregate
amount of cash equal to $339.5 million, subject to pre-closing and post-closing
adjustments (b) a junior subordinated promissory note from the Company in the
original principal amount of $9.0 million which matures in 2009 (c) preferred
6
<PAGE>
membership interests of the Company with a liquidation value of approximately
$6.0 million which are mandatorily redeemable in 2009 and (d) common membership
units of the Company representing 7% of the total common membership interests of
the Company and (ii) Bain LLC's, the BRS Investors' and certain management
members' limited liability company interests in MergeCo were converted into the
right to receive up to 93% of the total common membership interests of the
Company.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Merger and each of the other
related transactions (the "Closing"), the Company contributed substantially all
of its assets and liabilities to Alliance Laundry Systems LLC, a newly formed
limited liability company ("Alliance Laundry"). Immediately after the
consummation of the transactions, Alliance Laundry became the only direct
subsidiary of the Company and succeeded to substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company. Subsequent to May 4, 1998, Alliance Laundry
comprises all of the operating activities of the Company.
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions")
were funded by: (i) $200.0 million of term loan borrowings by Alliance Laundry;
(ii) $110.0 million of senior subordinated notes of Alliance Laundry and
Alliance Laundry Corporation due in 2008 (substantially all of the amounts in
clauses (i) and (ii) were distributed by Alliance Laundry to the Company to fund
the Merger and to fund related fees and expenses); (iii) the issuance by the
Company of a junior subordinated promissory note in the original principal
amount of $9.0 million; (iv) the issuance by the Company of the mandatorily
redeemable preferred membership interests with a liquidation value of $6.0
million; (v) the investors' equity contributions by Bain LLC, the BRS Investors
and certain members of management of $47.1 million and (vi) retained equity of
Raytheon of $3.5 million. Each of the transactions was conditioned upon
consummation of each of the others, and consummation of each of the transactions
occurred simultaneously.
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
In connection with the Transactions, Alliance Laundry entered into a credit
agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility") with a syndicate of financial
institutions (the "Lenders") for which Lehman Brothers Inc. acted as arranger
and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. acted as syndication agent. The Senior Credit
Facility is comprised of a term loan facility aggregating $200.0 million (the
"Term Loan Facility") and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility"), which was made available in conjunction with the
issuance of Alliance Laundry's senior subordinated notes. The Term Loan
Facility requires no principal payments during the first two years and amortizes
at the rate of $1.0 million per year for years three through five, $40.0 million
for year six and $157.0 million for year seven. Alliance Laundry is required to
make prepayments with the proceeds from the disposition of certain assets and
from excess cash flow, as defined. No excess cash flow payment was required for
the period ended March 31, 1999.
Effective March 10, 1999, the Company entered into a $67 million interest
rate swap agreement with a financial institution to hedge a portion of its
interest rate risk related to its term loan borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility. Under the swap, which has a term of three years, the Company pays a
fixed rate of 4.962% and receives quarterly interest payments based upon LIBOR.
The differential between the fixed and floating interest rates under the swap is
accrued as interest rates change and is recorded as an adjustment of interest
expense. The fair value of the interest rate swap is the amount which the
Company would receive or pay to terminate the instrument at the reporting date.
At March 31, 1999, the amount required to settle the swap would not have had a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

<PAGE>
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
Also on May 5, 1998, Alliance Laundry and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Alliance Laundry Corporation, issued $110.0 million of 9 5/8% senior
subordinated notes due in 2008 (the "Notes") to Lehman Brothers Inc. and Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation (the "Initial Purchasers"). The Initial
Purchasers subsequently resold the Notes to qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Act and to a limited number
of institutional accredited investors that agreed to comply with certain
transfer restrictions and other conditions.
JUNIOR SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued a junior
subordinated promissory note (the "Junior Note") in the principal amount of $9.0
million due August 21, 2009, to Raytheon. Pursuant to the terms of the Junior
Note, interest accrues at the rate of 19.0% per annum until the eighth
anniversary of the date of issuance of the Junior Note and at a rate of 13.0%
thereafter. The Junior Note is subordinated in priority and subject in right
and priority of payment to certain indebtedness described therein. Interest
which accrues on the Junior Note is payable in-kind.
PREFERRED EQUITY
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company issued mandatorily redeemable
preferred membership interests (the "Seller Preferred Equity") with a
liquidation value of $6.0 million to Raytheon. The Seller Preferred Equity does
not accrete, accrue or pay dividends and is redeemable at the earlier of (i) a
change of control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement), (ii) any initial public offering or (iii) August 21, 2009.
The holders of the Seller Preferred Equity are entitled to receive distributions
from the Company in an amount equal to their unreturned capital (as defined
therein) prior to distributions in respect of any other membership interests of
the Company.
ASSET BACKED FACILITY
In connection with the Transactions, Alliance Laundry entered into a five
year $250.0 million revolving loan agreement (the "Asset Backed Facility")
through Alliance Laundry Receivables Warehouse LLC ("ALRW"), its special purpose
single member limited liability company, to finance trade receivables and notes
receivable related to equipment loans with Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (the
"Facility Lender"), an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. Alliance Laundry
offers equipment financing to end-users of its commercial laundry equipment to
assist in their purchases of new equipment from Alliance Laundry's distributors
or, in the case of route operators, from Alliance Laundry. Alliance Laundry, as
servicing agent retains collection and administrative responsibilities for the
accounts and notes sold.
NOTE 3 NONRECURRING ITEMS

<PAGE>
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a $4.5 million
restructuring charge associated with the closing of the Company's Latin American
coin laundromat operations. A decision was made to close these operations
because of continued unprofitable performance. The charge includes $1.5 million
for the estimated loss on the sale of company-owned drycleaning and laundry
stores representing the excess of the carrying value of assets relating to these
stores over estimated proceeds from sale, $1.4 million for the write-off of the
unamortized balance of the LaveRap tradename and franchise rights which were
purchased in 1996 for use in developing coin laundromats in Latin America, $0.9
million for severance and related benefits arising from the termination of 41
employees and $0.7 million for certain other expenses associated with
discontinuing the Latin American operations. The carrying value of assets held
for disposal at March 31, 1999 is not material. The Company anticipates that all
stores will be sold during 1999. The components of the restructuring charge and
its utilization are summarized as follows:

The Company's Latin American operations generated net sales of $0.2 million
and an operating loss of $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
The Company entered into retention agreements with certain key executives,
managers and commissioned sales people prior to the Recapitalization. During
1999, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in expense associated with
payments under these agreements. Payments under this program continue through
November of 1999.

NOTE 5. CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ALLIANCE LAUNDRY SYSTEMS LLC
As discussed more fully in Note 2, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company were transferred to Alliance Laundry, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, in connection with the Merger. Therefore, the
historical financial statements of Alliance Laundry are the same as the
historical financial statements of the Company prior to the Merger inasmuch as
Alliance Laundry did not exist prior to that time. Subsequent to the Merger,
Alliance Laundry is the only direct subsidiary of the Company and comprises all
of the Company's operating activities.
In connection with the Merger, Alliance Laundry and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Alliance Laundry Corporation, issued the $110 million of senior
subordinated notes. Alliance Laundry Corporation was incorporated for the sole
purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the Notes in order to facilitate their
issuance. Alliance Laundry Corporation does not have any substantial operations
or assets of any kind. Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC has provided a full and
unconditional guarantee of the Notes and has no operating activities independent
of Alliance Laundry. Separate financial statements of Alliance Laundry are not
presented because Company management has determined that they would not be
material to investors. Summarized unaudited financial information of Alliance
Laundry as of March 31, 1999 and for the three months then ended is presented
below.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On April 17, 1998, Amana Company, L.P. ("Appliance Co.") filed suit in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
Raytheon and Alliance Laundry seeking (i) declaratory relief that Alliance
Laundry is bound by a non-compete agreement between Appliance Co. and Raytheon
that prohibits the participation by Raytheon and corporate affiliates of
Raytheon in the consumer retail distribution laundry market, and (ii)
unspecified damages from Raytheon and Alliance Laundry for breach of the non-
compete agreement. On June 2, 1998, Appliance Co. filed an amended complaint
reiterating the allegations of the original complaint and also asserting that,
by virtue of the manner in which they consummated the sale of Alliance Laundry
by Raytheon, both Alliance Laundry and Bain Capital, Inc. ("Bain") tortiously
interfered with the non-compete agreement between Appliance Co. and Raytheon.
Appliance Co. now claims to be entitled to damages in excess of $100 million and
also contends that, if Alliance Laundry is not bound by the non-compete
agreement, then Appliance Co. should also be relieved of any obligations under
the non-compete agreement. The defendants dispute all Appliance Co.
allegations, deny that Appliance Co. is entitled to any damages and have filed
motions to dismiss all claims pertaining to the non-compete agreement, which are
still pending. Raytheon has agreed to pay the attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by Alliance Laundry and Bain in contesting this lawsuit. There can be
no assurance, however, that Alliance Laundry will prevail in the lawsuit and,
accordingly, Alliance Laundry may be prohibited for some period of time from
participating in the consumer retail distribution laundry market. Alliance
Laundry does not currently participate in this market. In addition, although
the Company does not believe that it is reasonably likely that Appliance Co.
will prevail in the lawsuit, if Appliance Co. did prevail, the Company could be
required to pay the claimed damages in excess of $100 million and if so, such
payment would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
In late January 1999, Appliance Co. filed another amended complaint to add
claims against Raytheon and the Company in connection with the Horizon washing
machine, a "single-pocket" frontload washing machine that was being readied for
volume production as of the time when Raytheon (the former parent of the
Company) was completing the sale of its consumer appliances business to
Appliance Co. (the "Appliance Co. Transaction"). Appliance Co. alleges that
both Raytheon and the Company subsequently breached their contractual
obligations with respect to preparing the Horizon for volume production and
misrepresented the readiness of the Horizon for volume production. Both the
Company and Raytheon are moving to dismiss these claims. Appliance Co. also
alleges that the Company has breached its contractual obligations to provide
competent engineering services in connection with preparing the Horizon for
volume production and also breached its duty of due care in the course of
providing Appliance Co. with these engineering services. Appliance Co. seeks
damages for (i) the profits it claims to have lost by virtue of not being able
to sell the Horizon, (ii) the damage to its commercial standing that is
allegedly attributable to its sale of defective washers to critical customers,
and (iii) the expenses it incurred in preparing for volume production of the
Horizon. In addition, Raytheon has agreed to hold the Company harmless against
claims pertaining to the Horizon and to reimburse the Company for any fees
incurred in defending these claims.
On February 8, 1999, Raytheon commenced an arbitration under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in Boston,
Massachusetts against the Company, seeking damages of $12.2 million plus
interest thereon and attorney's fees for breach of the Merger Agreement based on
Raytheon's claim for indemnification for a payment made to a third party
allegedly on behalf of the Company and Alliance Laundry following the Closing.
Raytheon also filed suit that same day in Massachusetts Superior Court for the
county of Middlesex seeking the same relief; the suit was dismissed by Raytheon
11
<PAGE>
without prejudice in March 1999. The Company believes that Raytheon owed the
$12.2 million to the third party and that neither the Company nor Alliance
Laundry is liable for such amount. In addition, the Company and Bain LLC have
filed counterclaims and claims, respectively, seeking damages in excess of $30
million from Raytheon.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Bain LLC, the Company and Raytheon have
agreed on a post-closing price adjustment of $2.8 million due to the Company
from Raytheon, as a result of a dispute regarding working capital levels as of
the Closing. The parties have agreed this amount will not be paid to the
Company until the resolution of the arbitration discussed above or this amount
will be offset against any amounts due to Raytheon from the Company as a result
of such arbitration, and as such, this amount has not been reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal
course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the
ultimate liability from these proceedings is difficult to determine, in the
opinion of management, any additional liability will not have a material effect
on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
NOTE 7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive Income totaled $1,490,000 and $5,385,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and March 29, 1998, respectively. Comprehensive Income is
comprised entirely of net income for both periods.
NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Based upon the information used by management for making operating
decisions and assessing performance, the Company has organized its business into
categories based upon products and services broken down primarily by markets.
Commercial laundry equipment and service parts, including sales to international
markets, are combined to form the commercial laundry segment. Commercial
laundry net sales include amounts related to the Company's finance program which
supports its commercial laundry operations. The Company's primary measure of
operating performance is gross profit which does not include an allocation of
any selling or product distribution expenses. Such amounts are reviewed on a
consolidated basis by management. In determining gross profit for its operating
units, the Company also does not allocate certain manufacturing costs, including
manufacturing variances and warranty and service support costs. Gross profit is
determined by subtracting cost of sales from net sales. Cost of sales is
comprised of the costs of raw materials and component parts, plus costs incurred
at the manufacturing plant level, including, but not limited to, labor and
related fringe benefits, depreciation, tools, supplies, utilities, property
taxes and insurance. The Company does not allocate assets internally in
assessing operating performance. Net sales and gross profit as determined by
the Company for its operating segments are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations covers periods before the consummation of the
Transactions. In connection with the Transactions, the Company has entered into
financing arrangements and significantly altered its capital structure. As a
result of the Transactions, the Company is operating as a stand-alone entity for
the first time, and the historical financial statements reflect management's
estimates of certain costs associated with operating as a stand-alone entity and
reflect taxes that are not applicable to the Company following the consummation
of the Transactions. Accordingly, the results of operations for the periods
subsequent to the consummation of the Transactions will not necessarily be
comparable to prior periods.
The Company believes it is the leading designer, manufacturer and marketer
of stand-alone commercial laundry equipment in North America and a leader
worldwide. Under the well-known brand names of Speed Queen, UniMac and Huebsch,
the Company produces a full line of commercial washing machines and dryers with
load capacities from 16 to 250 pounds. The Company's commercial products are
sold to three distinct customer groups: (i) laundromats; (ii) multi-housing
laundries, consisting primarily of common laundry facilities in apartment
buildings, universities and military installations; and (iii) on-premise
laundries, consisting primarily of in-house laundry facilities of hotels,
hospitals, nursing homes and prisons. In addition, pursuant to a supply
agreement with Appliance Co., the Company supplies consumer washing machines to
the consumer appliance business of Appliance Co. for sale at retail.

Operations set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file
no. 333-56857) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes
the audited financial position and operating results of the Company as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

</TABLE>
Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased $4.0
million, or 4.8%, to $79.3 million from $83.3 million for the quarter ended
March 29, 1998. This decrease was attributable to lower consumer laundry
equipment sales of $4.3 million partly offset by increases in service part
sales, $0.2 million, and commercial laundry sales, $0.1 million. The decrease
in consumer laundry equipment sales was due to unusually high sales to this
customer in 1998 to support product promotions which Appliance Co. had in place
at that time. The increase in commercial laundry sales was due to higher North
American equipment sales of $0.9 million and higher international sales of $0.1
million, offset by lower earnings from the Company's off-balance sheet equipment
financing program of $0.9 million. North American equipment sales were higher
to multi-housing and on-premise laundry customers. The equipment financing
13
<PAGE>
program earnings were lower due to a large volume of promissory notes related to
a single customer which were sold in the first quarter of 1998.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased
$1.2 million, or 5.9%, to $20.5 million from $19.3 million for the quarter ended
March 29, 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to manufacturing
efficiencies implemented during 1998 and the first quarter of 1999 as well as
margins related to the increase in North American equipment sales. This
increase was partially offset by the decreased volume of consumer laundry sales
to Appliance Co. and lower earnings related to the Company's off-balance sheet
equipment financing program. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
increased to 25.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 23.2% for the
quarter ended March 29, 1998. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of
net sales is primarily attributable to the manufacturing efficiencies noted
above.
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 did not change from
the $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 29, 1998. Within selling, general
and administrative expenses, selling expenses were lower due to the timing of
product promotional programs and administrative expenses were lower related to
management bonus and fringe benefit expenses. These lower expenses were offset
by costs of being a stand-alone business entity (resulting from the May 5, 1998
transaction) and by higher product development expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.2% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 12.6% for the quarter ended March 29, 1998 as
a result of the lower consumer laundry sales which, in general, have limited
impact on selling, general and administrative expenses.
Nonrecurring costs. Nonrecurring costs for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 were $0.4 million, with no nonrecurring costs recorded for the quarter
ended March 29, 1998. Nonrecurring costs are comprised entirely of employee
retention costs.
Operating income. As a result of the foregoing, operating income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased $0.8 million, or 8.5%, to $9.6 million
from $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 29, 1998. Operating income as a
percentage of net sales increased to 12.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
from 10.6% for the quarter ended March 29, 1998.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
$8.1 million, with no interest expense recorded for the quarter ended March 29,
1998. The increase is attributable to interest expense on debt issued in
connection with the Recapitalization.
Income Taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, as compared to a provision of $3.4 million for the quarter
ended March 29, 1998. Effective May 5, 1998 the Company is a stand-alone
limited liability company and is no longer subject to federal and most state
income taxes.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 decreased $3.9 million, or 72.3%, to $1.5 million from $5.4
million for the quarter ended March 29, 1998. Net income as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 1.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 6.5% for the
quarter ended March 29, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
14
<PAGE>
Post-Transactions.
Following the Transactions, the Company's principal sources of liquidity
are cash flows generated from operations and borrowings under the $75.0 million
Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's principal uses of liquidity are to
meet debt service requirements, finance the Company's capital expenditures and
provide working capital. The Company expects that capital expenditures in 1999
will not exceed $16.0 million. The Company expects the ongoing requirements for
debt service, capital expenditures and working capital will be funded by
internally generated cash flow and borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility. The Company has incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with
the Transactions. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has $320.5 million of
combined indebtedness outstanding.
At March 31, 1999 the Company had outstanding debt of $200.0 million under
the Term Loan Facility, $110.0 million of senior subordinated notes and had
$66.5 million of its $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility available subject
to certain limitations under the Senior Credit Facility. After considering such
limitations, the Company could have borrowed up to $29.0 million at March 31,
1999 in additional indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The $200.0 million Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly and is repayable
in the following aggregate annual amounts:
Year Amount Due
---- ------------
(Dollars in
millions)
1999................................ $ 0.0
2000................................ $ 0.5
2001................................ $ 1.0
2002................................ $ 1.0
2003................................ $ 20.5
2004................................ $ 98.5
2005................................ $ 78.5
The Term Loan Facility is also subject to mandatory prepayment with the
proceeds of certain debt incurrences, asset sales and a portion of Excess Cash
Flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility
will terminate in 2003.
Concurrent with the Closing of the other Transactions, the Company entered
into the Asset Backed Facility, which provides $250.0 million of off-balance
sheet financing for trade receivables and equipment loans. The finance programs
have been and will continue to be structured in a manner that qualifies for off-
balance sheet treatment in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. It is expected that under the Asset Backed Facility, the Company
will continue to act as originator and servicer of the equipment financing
promissory notes and the trade receivables.
The Company's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay
the interest or liquidated damages, if any, on, or to refinance, its
indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend upon its
future performance, which, in turn, is subject to general economic, financial,
competitive and other factors that are beyond its control. Based upon the
current level of operations and anticipated growth, management believes that
future cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under the
15
<PAGE>
Revolving Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated
requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, interest payments and
scheduled principal payments. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company's business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations in the future to service its debt and make necessary capital
expenditures after satisfying certain liabilities arising in the ordinary course
of business. If unable to do so, the Company may be required to refinance all or
a portion of its existing debt, to sell assets or to obtain additional
financing. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would be
available or that any such sales of assets or additional financing could be
obtained.
Historical
Cash generated from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
of $2.2 million was principally derived from the Company's earnings before
depreciation and amortization partially offset by changes in working capital.
The working capital investment in accounts receivable at March 31, 1999 of $34.0
million increased $12.6 million as compared to the balance of $21.4 million at
December 31, 1998, which was primarily attributable to selling fewer accounts
receivable through Alliance Laundry Receivable Warehouse ("ALRW"), a special-
purpose single member limited liability company. The working capital investment
in accounts payable at March 31, 1999 of $16.2 million decreased $7.6 million as
compared to the balance of $8.6 million at December 31, 1998. The accounts
payable balance at December 31, 1998 reflected lower purchases and production in
December of 1998 as compared to March of 1999.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 of $2.2 million decreased by $15.7 million as compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to lower net income of $3.9
million and lower net cash provided by changes in assets and liabilities of
$12.8 million. The net cash impact from changes in assets and liabilities for
the quarter ended March 29, 1998 of $8.7 million was largely due to an increase
in accounts and notes receivable financed under the Company's internal
financing program with Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation (the "Buyer"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Chicago/NBD.
Prior to the Transactions, cash had been transferred between the Company
and Raytheon based on the Company's cash position. For the period from January
1, 1998 through March 31, 1998, the Company transferred cash to Raytheon of
$17.1 million, which was generated substantially through the sale of trade
receivables during the first quarter of 1998 and from the Company's earnings
before depreciation and amortization.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and March 29, 1998 were $3.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Capital spending in 1999 was principally oriented toward reducing manufacturing
costs and transitioning dryer production from Appliance Co. to the Ripon
manufacturing facility, while spending in 1998 was principally oriented toward
reducing manufacturing costs and transitioning the frontload washer from
Appliance Co. to the Company's Ripon manufacturing facility.
YEAR 2000
16
<PAGE>
The Company has completed the evaluation of its computer operating systems
that would potentially be disrupted upon the turn of the century as a result of
the Year 2000 Issue. As of April 1999, the Company estimates that it is Year
2000 compliant on over 85% of all business-related software and hardware and
that it will be fully compliant by the end of the fourth quarter of 1999.
The Company's current status with respect to both information technology
("IT") and Non-IT systems is as follows:
IT software/hardware
The Company believes that its Infinium financial system applications,
including general ledger, accounts receivable, payroll, human resources and
accounts payable subsystems, and its Mapics manufacturing systems applications
are currently Year 2000 ready. In addition, the Company has conducted a
comprehensive analysis of its Data3 manufacturing and internally developed order
processing and warehouse location inventory systems for which Year 2000
readiness may be an issue. Impacted files within such systems and the programs
which access them have been triaged according to urgency based on critical
functionality and the time period during which readiness will become an issue.
As of April 1999, the Company estimates that 85% of the files and programs are
Year 2000 ready and expects all files and programs to be Year 2000 ready by
December 1999. In addition, software suppliers have provided Year 2000 ready
releases of the Company's Strategy Loan Management (implemented prior to year
end 1998) and Salestax Reporting (implemented February 1999) systems.
Based on the triage approach, ongoing testing in a development environment
and advanced implementation of changes to critical systems, the Company
currently anticipates that any Year 2000 vulnerability with respect to its IT
software and hardware will be encountered and corrected in advance of a crisis
situation. All effectivity date processing changes and critical date display
functions were completed and implemented by the end of the first quarter of
1999.
The Company has completed an audit of IT hardware within the organization.
Results indicate that the AS400 processing platform is Year 2000 ready and, as
of April 1999, over 80% of the network, network software, printers and PCs in
place throughout the organization are Year 2000 compliant. The network and
network software will be upgraded with Year 2000 ready releases provided by
suppliers during the third quarter of 1999. Phased upgrades to Company PCs and
printers are planned during 1999 with periodic reassessment to ensure ongoing
Year 2000 readiness. The Company's phone system will be upgraded for Year 2000
readiness in the second quarter of 1999.
The Company currently believes that the worst case scenario with regard to
IT would be the malfunction of a non-critical or sporadically used application.
Although the Company believes this scenario to be unlikely, manual back-up
procedures for these types of functions currently exist and would be initiated
in the event of a Year 2000 readiness issue. Such malfunctions, if they were to
occur, would be prioritized in conjunction with other critical projects being
addressed at the time that the Year 2000 readiness issue arises.
Non-IT software/hardware
The Company began implementation of a coordinated effort in September 1998
to include every department in the challenge of ensuring Year 2000 readiness in
Non-IT areas. Areas that were assessed included office machines, security
access devices, Uninterrupted Power Sources, maintenance control chips within
17
<PAGE>
equipment used throughout the organization, robotics, process control devices,
HVAC and electrical systems and Year 2000 date sensitive controlled devices.
Under the direction of each functional Vice President, the Company has begun to
implement programs to correct Year 2000 issues in Non-IT areas. In addition to
such remedial actions, the programs include the development of contingency plans
(such as additional inventory, alternate manufacturing processes,
manual/procedures, etc.) for areas where Year 2000 readiness may be an issue. As
of April 1999, the Company currently estimates that Year 2000 readiness for Non-
IT areas is 65% complete in the Ripon facility, 80% complete in the Madisonville
facility and more than 80% complete in the Marianna facility. The Company
currently anticipates that all Non-IT Year 2000 issues will be addressed by
December 1999.
Products, customers and suppliers
The Company, an industry leader in the use of electronic display controls,
uses micro controls, embedded chips and related software in several of its
products. The Company evaluated 100% of its products for Year 2000 readiness
between November 1997 and November 1998 and currently believes that its products
are Year 2000 ready. The Company has prepared a product-related Year 2000
readiness Field Bulletin that is distributed to customers upon request. The
Field Bulletin has been in use since the fourth quarter of 1998.
The Company sent out Year 2000 readiness questionnaires to all suppliers in
December 1998. As of April 1999, more than 75% of the Company's suppliers have
responded to the questionnaire and indicated when its products and facilities
will be Year 2000 ready. Based on the response to the initial questionnaire,
the Company will prioritize the suppliers that could potentially have Year 2000
problems which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations
and will formulate contingency plans to mitigate Year 2000 risk. The Company
plans to routinely follow-up with suppliers to reassess and monitor Year 2000
compliance allowing contingency plans to be modified as required. Based upon
our initial assessment, the Company does not believe there are significant Year
2000 issues that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
Costs
In 1996, the Company utilized outside consultants to determine the scope of
the Year 2000 readiness project. This cost was commissioned by the Company's
former parent and was not incurred locally. The Company secured the services of
one consultant that was used for a period of 18 months to assist with some of
the initial code changes required for system conversions of the highest
priority. In addition, expenses incurred by the Company related to Year 2000
readiness included operating and application software upgrades, personal
computer and network computer upgrades, central computer upgrade and internal IT
resources required to upgrade in-house developed application software. During
1998, expenditures related to Year 2000 were $1.2 million ($0.6 million in
expense and $0.6 million in capital). In 1999, the Company has budgeted another
$1.5 million ($0.9 million in expense and $0.6 million in capital) to support
Year 2000 related projects. The Company estimates that $0.8 million ($0.6
million in expense and $0.2 million in capital) will be needed in 2000 for
equipment upgrades and clean-up projects for seldom used low priority
applications that have little impact on the Company's operations or performance.
Certain of the Company's other IT projects have been delayed due to the
allocation of internal IT development staff to Year 2000 readiness issues.
However, quarterly project prioritization reviews occur at which time competing
critical priorities are assessed. Up to this point, resources have been
considered adequate to maintain progress on the Year 2000 readiness project
while supporting other strategic projects. The Company believes that such
18
<PAGE>
deferrals will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.
While the Company believes that new software being installed into its
computer system will address the Year 2000 Issue, there can be no assurance that
all of the new software will be installed in time to remedy the Year 2000 Issue
or that the Company's computer operating systems will not be disrupted upon the
turn of the century. Any such disruption, whether caused by the Company's
systems or those of any of its suppliers or customers, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or
other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as
part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
Management of the Company anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative
instruments, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a significant effect on
the Company's results of operations or its financial position. This Statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is potentially exposed to market risk associated with changes
in interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company does not and currently does
not intend to hedge exchange rate fluctuations between United States dollars and
foreign currencies. However, from time to time, the Company may enter into
derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate exposures. An
instrument will be treated as a hedge if it is effective in offsetting the
impact of volatility in the Company's underlying interest rate exposures. The
Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. There have
been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures as compared to
those discussed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file no.
333-56857) except for the interest rate swap entered into by the Company as
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,
1999.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
With the exception of the reported actual results, the information
presented herein contains predictions, estimates or other forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including
