NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Financial Statements
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of such financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It should be
recognized that the actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company at May 31, 2000,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month
periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999. Such results are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain reclassifications of the May 31, 1999 financial statements have
been made to reflect the Company's discontinued operations which were
divested in September of fiscal 2000.
2. Cash Flow
For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers overnight investments
as cash equivalents. The Company made cash interest payments of
approximately $24.1 million and $28.9 million in the three month periods
ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company also made cash
income tax payments of approximately $6.9 million and $5.7 million in
the three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
3. Merger
On May 26, 2000, the Company executed a definitive merger agreement with
MIV Acquisition Corporation, an entity controlled by funds advised by BC
Partners, a leading European private equity firm, providing for the
acquisition of Mark IV at a price of $23.00 per share in cash.
The transaction is structured as a cash merger and includes the
assumption and/or refinancing the Company's debt. The transaction has
been approved by Mark IV's Board of Directors and is conditioned on the
approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mark
IV. Certain Executive Officers and Directors of the Company have agreed
<PAGE>8
MARK IV INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
with MIV Acquisition Corporation to vote the aggregate 7,173,863 shares
of the Company's Common Stock (approximately 16.2% of the outstanding
shares) owned by them in favor of the merger. The merger is also
conditioned on the receipt of funding under committed financing, the
absence of material adverse changes, government regulatory approvals and
other customary conditions. The funding for the merger is based upon a
debt financing commitment for the acquisition subsidiary from a bank
syndicate led by the Chase Manhattan Bank to provide, in the aggregate,
approximately $1.2 billion to finance a portion of the acquisition. The
balance of the acquisition financing will be provided by equity and
other financing from BC Partners and Interbanca S.p.A. under commitments
which are subject to funding of the debt financing and other customary
conditions. The transaction closing is currently anticipated to occur
in the third quarter of the Company's current fiscal year.
Under the terms of the Indentures governing Mark IV's 7-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and its 4-3/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2004, the Company is required to offer to purchase such Notes
following the consummation of the Merger at prices set forth in the
respective Indentures. MIV Acquisition Corporation has advised that it
is currently intended that the Company's 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2007 will remain outstanding following the merger.
4. Accounts Receivable and Inventories
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful
accounts of $10.7 million and $11.0 million at May 31, 2000 and February
29, 2000, respectively.
Inventories consist of the following components (dollars in thousands):
May 31, February 29,
2000 2000
------- ------------
Raw materials $ 104,700 $ 103,000
Work-in-process 61,700 60,900
Finished goods 175,000 182,900
--------- ---------
Total $ 341,400 $ 346,800
========= =========
Since physical inventories taken during the year do not necessarily
coincide with the end of a quarter, management has estimated the
composition of inventories with respect to raw materials, work-in-
process and finished goods. It is management's opinion that this
estimate represents a reasonable approximation of the inventory
breakdown as of May 31, 2000. The amounts at February 29, 2000 are
based upon the audited balance sheet at that date.

During the quarter ended May 31, 1999, the Company repurchased
approximately $25.6 million principal amount of its 7-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes. The gain resulting from the repurchase of the Notes
below their par value was offset by write-offs of deferred charges and
discounts related to the issuance of the Notes. Subsequent to May 31,
1999, the Company acquired an additional $104.8 million principal amount
of such Notes. There were no Senior Subordinated Notes repurchased
during the quarter ended May 31, 2000.

$68.0 million, with an additional 4.9 million shares acquired in the
balance of fiscal 2000 at an average cost of $19.67 per share, or a
total of approximately $96.4 million. The Company did not repurchase
any of its common stock during the quarter ended May 31, 2000, and under
the terms of the Merger Agreement, it has agreed not to repurchase any
additional shares of its common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital increased by $31.8 million (8%) during the three
month period ended May 31, 2000. Excluding cash and current financial
indebtedness, the Company's working capital investment was $513.9 million at
May 31, 2000, a net increase of $63.5 million (14%) in comparison to $450.4
million at February 29, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to the
Company's seasonal build of accounts receivable which occurs annually in the
Automotive segment's powertrain and aftermarket businesses and the Industrial
segment's garden hose business. To a lesser extent, accounts receivable
increases are also attributable to increased sales volume and new product
launches. The seasonal increase tends to be substantially liquidated during
the Company's second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2000.
Capital expenditures for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 were
approximately $17.0 million, which was $6.7 million lower than depreciation
and amortization expense of $23.7 million in the same period, and reflects a
consistent level of expenditures in comparison to the three month period ended
May 31, 1999. Management anticipates that the Company's capital expenditure
requirements will continue to be less than its depreciation and amortization
expense for the remainder of fiscal 2001.
The Company's total long-term debt of $800.7 million at May 31, 2000 was
comparable to the annual outstanding at February 29, 2000. Its current
maturities and notes payable totaled $91.2 million at May 31, 2000, reflecting
an increase of $31.8 million from the amount outstanding at February 29, 2000.
This increase was primarily the result of the seasonal increase in accounts
receivable referred to above, net of the benefits of positive operating cash
flow in excess of capital expenditures during the period.
Management believes cash generated from operations, as temporarily
supplemented by existing credit availability, should be sufficient to support
the Company's working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditure
needs for the foreseeable future.
On May 26, 2000, the Company executed a definitive merger agreement with MIV
Acquisition Corporation, an entity controlled by funds advised by BC Partners,
a leading European private equity firm, providing for the acquisition of Mark
IV at a price of $23.00 per share in cash.
The transaction is structured as a cash merger and includes the assumption
and/or refinancing the Company's debt. The transaction has been approved by
Mark IV's Board of Directors and is conditioned on the approval of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Mark IV. Certain Executive
Officers and Directors of the Company have agreed with MIV Acquisition
Corporation to vote the aggregate 7,173,863 shares of the Company's Common
Stock (approximately 16.2% of the outstanding shares) owned by them in favor
of the merger. The merger is also conditioned on the receipt of funding
<PAGE>13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
under committed financing, the absence of material adverse changes, government
regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The funding for the
merger is based upon a debt financing commitment for the acquisition
subsidiary from a bank syndicate led by the Chase Manhattan Bank to provide,
in the aggregate, approximately $1.2 billion to finance a portion of the
acquisition. The balance of the acquisition financing will be provided by
equity and other financing from BC Partners and Interbanca S.p.A. under
commitments which are subject to funding of the debt financing and other
customary conditions. The transaction closing is currently anticipated to
occur in the third quarter of the Company's current fiscal year.
Under the terms of the Indentures governing Mark IV's 7-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and its 4-3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2004, the Company is required to offer to purchase such Notes following the
consummation of the Merger at prices set forth in the respective Indentures.
MIV Acquisition Corporation has advised that it is currently intended that the
Company's 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 will remain outstanding
following the merger.
Results of Operations
The Company classifies its operations in two business segments: Automotive
and Industrial. The Company's current business strategy is focused upon the
enhancement of its business segments through internal growth, cost control and
quality improvement programs and selective, strategic acquisitions with an
emphasis on expanding each segment's international presence. The results of
operations of Lombardini, an Italian manufacturer of small diesel engines
acquired in fiscal 2000, are included in the actual results of operations for
the entire three month period ended May 31, 2000 versus only two months in the
comparable period last year.
Net sales from continuing operations for the three month period ended May 31,
2000 increased by $33.5 million (6.4%) over the comparable period last year.
On a pro forma basis (adjusting for acquisitions made in fiscal 2000 and
eliminating the effects of discontinued operations and currency exchange
effects), net sales increased approximately $38.6 million (7%) from internal
growth over the comparable period last year.
In the Company's Automotive segment, net sales increased $30.0 million (10%)
for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 over the comparable period last
year. On a pro forma basis, internal growth in the Company's Automotive
segment amounted to $28.2 million (9%) over the comparable period last year.
The internal growth in the Automotive segment was generated by both the
domestic and international Automotive OEM sectors, with internal growth in the
international OEM sector up 15% and the domestic OEM sector up 4% for the
three month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the prior year period.
<PAGE>14
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the Company's Industrial segment, net sales increased $3.5 million (2%) for
the three month period ended May 31, 2000 in comparison to the prior year. On
a pro forma basis, net sales increased $10.4 million (5%) for the three month
period ended May 31, 2000 in comparison to the prior year. This increase was
primarily attributable to the Industrial distribution and specialty products
sectors, reflecting solid conditions in the U.S. economy. The industrial
sector's agricultural and petrochemical markets, which suffered deep cutbacks
in fiscal 2000, showed a slight recovery during the quarter ended May 31,
2000. The Industrial segment also experienced a decrease in its
transportation sector due to delivery dates being pushed out on several of its
contracts.
The cost of products sold as a percentage of consolidated net sales was
approximately 69% in both the current period and the comparable prior year
period. Increased pension income resulting from higher income from the
Company's over-funded pension plans in fiscal 2001 substantially offset the
effects of pricing pressures and continued start-up costs related to the new
air-intake manifold production in North America. Selling and administration
costs as a percentage of consolidated net sales were approximately 14% for the
three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999.
Research and development costs increased by $.5 million (3%) for the three
month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the three month period ended
May 31, 1999. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, these expenses were
2.7% for each of the three month periods ended May 31, 2000 and 1999. This
level of spending relates to the Company's continued emphasis on new product
and systems initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.5 million (7%) for the
three month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the three month period
ended May 31, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion
of the results of operations of Lombardini for the entire three month period
ended May 31, 2000, as compared to two months for the comparable period last
year.
Interest expense for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 increased $1.4
million (11%) from the level incurred in the three month period ended May 31,
1999. The increase is primarily due to debt assumed in the acquisition of
Lombardini, and increased indebtedness to fund the Company's stock repurchase
program during fiscal 2000.
The effective tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax accounting income was
approximately 37% for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 as compared to
36% for the three month period ended May 31, 1999. The increase in the
effective tax rate is a result of an increased mix of foreign income in
countries that have higher tax rates, as well as the utilization of certain
tax benefits that helped reduce the Company's effective tax rate in fiscal
2000. It is anticipated that the effective tax rate will remain at the 37%
level for the balance of the current fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As a result of all of the above, income from continuing operations for the
three month period ended May 31, 2000 reflects an increase of $.7 million (3%)
as compared to the comparable period in the prior year. On a per share basis
for basic shares outstanding, such amount for the three month period ended May
31, 2000 represents an increase of 18% over the comparable period last year.
Net income decreased slightly for the three month period ended May 31, 2000 as
compared to the three month period ended May 31, 1999, with the prior year
period also including $.9 million of income from discontinued operations.
Impact of Inflation
The competitive environment in which the Company operates makes it extremely
difficult to pass on increased costs to its customers. In many instances, the
Company is not able to increase its prices at all, and in certain situations
is forced to reduce its selling prices. This environment makes it critical
for the Company to be able to operate in a continuously more efficient manner.
The Company must also work closely with its suppliers to minimize price
increases and push for pricing improvements in the same manner that its
customers demand of the Company.
Forward-Looking Information
This Management's Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Quarterly
Report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The future factors that may affect the operations, performance and results of
the Company's businesses include the following:
a. general economic and competitive conditions in the markets and
countries in which the Company operates, and the risks inherent in
international operations;
b. the Company's ability to continue to control and reduce its costs
of production;
c. the level of consumer demand for new vehicles equipped with the
Company's products;
d. the level of consumer demand for the Company's aftermarket
products, which varies based on such factors as the severity of
winter weather, the age of automobiles in the Company's markets
and the impact of improvements or changes in original equipment
products;
e. the effect of changes in the distribution channels for the
Company's aftermarket and industrial products; and,
f. the strength of the U.S. dollar against currencies of other
countries where the Company operates, as well as cross-currencies
between the Company's operations outside of the U.S. and other
countries with whom they transact business.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not
intend to update forward-looking statements.
