PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- -----------------
General
- -------
Juno Lighting, Inc. began operations in 1976 and was incorporated in
Illinois. It changed its state of incorporation to Delaware in 1983. Its
executive offices and principal plant are located at 1300 S. Wolf Road, Des
Plaines, Illinois 60018, a suburb of Chicago; the telephone number is
(847)827-9880. Juno also has facilities in the Los Angeles, Indianapolis,
Toronto, Philadelphia, Dallas and Atlanta areas. The terms "Juno" and
"Company" as used herein mean Juno Lighting, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
collectively.
The Company is a leading designer, assembler and marketer of recessed and
track lighting fixtures. Its broad product line is used in commercial and
residential remodeling and in new construction. Its principal products use a
variety of light sources and are designed for reliable and flexible function,
efficient operation, attractive appearance and simple installation and
servicing. The Company is also engaged in the marketing, design and
manufacture of other incandescent and fluorescent lighting products with
application in the commercial lighting market, primarily in department and
chain stores.
Approximately 94% of the Company's sales in fiscal 1999 were made in the
United States, with most of the balance made in Canada. The Company's sales
are made primarily to electrical distributors as well as certain wholesale
lighting outlets. Such distributors resell the Company's products for use in
remodeling of existing structures and in new residential, commercial and
institutional construction.
The Company produces a wide variety of fixtures and related equipment for
the recessed and track lighting markets. Its recessed lighting fixtures are
designed to be installed directly into ceilings, while its track lighting
fixtures are mounted on electrical tracks affixed to ceilings or walls. End-
users of the Company's products generally prefer them due to their superior
design, reliability and ease of installation. Juno designs and assembles
substantially all of its products in-house. However, it outsources virtually
all component manufacturing to a number of independent vendors principally
located near our production facilities. Inventories are maintained at two
production and distribution facilities located near Chicago and Indianapolis
and at distribution facilities near Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia
and Toronto.
The Company's primary means of distribution is through over 1,400
distributors of lighting products located throughout the United States and
Canada. The Company has established itself as a preferred lighting supplier
by providing high quality and well-designed products, superior customer
service, timely delivery, technical advice and product training. Its
distributors maintain their own inventory of the Company's products, and, in
turn, sell to electrical contractors and builders and, in some cases, at the
retail level. Sales to distributors are made through the Company's
knowledgeable sales staff and through manufacturers' agents who also sell
other, non-competing electrical products. The Company also has a national
accounts sales force that focuses on department store, specialty retail,
supermarket and commercial accounts. The Company works closely with these
national accounts to provide custom solutions to their lighting needs and, in
turn, to have the Company's products specified for their major renovations or
store expansions.
<PAGE 4>
Products
- --------
The Company produces a wide variety of lighting fixtures and related
equipment of both contemporary and traditional design, most of which are
available in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes. Some styles differ from
others only in size, light source capacity or other minor modifications. Some
fixtures which Juno produces are designed to be installed in recesses in
ceilings, while others are designed to be mounted on electrified tracks
affixed to ceilings or walls, while still others are used in merchandise
display cases.
Each recessed fixture is composed of a housing and a separate trim.
Housings may be fitted with a variety of trims offering a wide choice of
diffusers, lenses and louvers to satisfy different optical and aesthetic
requirements. Recessed fixtures are generally used for down-lighting, but by
special configuration they also may be used for wall-washing and spot
lighting. The Company has designed recessed lighting fixtures, sold under the
Sloped Ceiling Downlights name, that provide lighting perpendicular to a floor
from a sloped ceiling. The Company also produces a series of recessed
lighting fixtures sold under the name Air-Loc which are designed to restrict
the passage of air into and out of a residence through the fixture to minimize
energy loss. The Company's line of commercial lighting fixture products for
use primarily in department and chain stores utilize incandescent,
fluorescent, high intensity discharge and compact fluorescent light sources to
provide specialty and general purpose lighting.
The Company's principal track lighting system, sold under the Trac-Master
name, is made up of an electrified extruded aluminum channel (called the
track) and a wide variety of individual fixtures that may be connected at any
point on the track. The individual fixtures are available in different
geometric styles, light source sizes and finishes. The Company also has a
line of track lighting produced under the name of Vector by Juno to complement
its line of products under the Trac-Master name. This line is a lower priced
but high quality line of products that do not contain some of the features of
Trac-Master.
Track lighting products were originally developed for use in store
displays. While this use continues to be important, track lighting is also
popular in the residential market, particularly in the remodeling and do-it-
yourself markets. One line of the Company's track fixtures allows each track
light to be controlled by either of two switches and includes a series of
miniature low voltage halogen track lights that provide higher lumens per watt
than standard incandescent light sources. The Company also manufactures and
distributes Trac-Sign (patent pending), which is a line of flexible,
internally illuminated sign products that work in conjunction with its
existing track system. The product consists of an aluminum enclosure which
utilizes a fluorescent light source and permits the end-user to easily and
economically display and light advertising material in the form of standard-
size transparencies.
The Company also produces and markets a line of miniature track lighting
products under the name Trac 12. This is a low voltage track lighting system
featuring small individual fixtures and a miniature lamp holder used in linear
lighting applications.
Pursuant to an acquisition, several years ago Juno began manufacturing
and selling a line of fixtures used in showcase lighting applications under
the name Danalite. This linear configuration which uses low voltage and
fluorescent light sources is used in showcases as well as other merchandise
display cases and certain other commercial and residential accent lighting
applications. The products are made utilizing aluminum extruded channels in
various lengths and finishes. These products primarily utilize miniature 12
volt halogen light sources with hinged sockets so that the process of changing
the light source can be done easily.
In a separate acquisition, the Company began designing and manufacturing a
system of fiberoptic lighting products. This system consists of an
illuminator, which uses either halogen or high intensity discharge light
<PAGE 5>
sources, fiberoptic cable and in some cases fixtures. The electrically
powered illuminator generates the light and transfers it into the ends of the
optical fiber. The principal advantage of fiberoptic lighting is that it
provides light at the application level free of heat and ultraviolet light.
The Company produces a line of energy-efficient Exit and Emergency
lighting products that are electronically powered and protected. This product
line uses LED (light emitting diode) technology for its light source.
The Company believes its innovations in simplifying installation and
improving the function of its lighting products have served to increase demand
for its products.
Juno, Indy, Trac-Master, Real Nail and Air-Loc are registered trademarks
of Juno.
Production
- ----------
The Company designs and assembles substantially all of its products in-
house. However, the Company outsources virtually all component manufacturing
to a number of independent vendors located principally near its production
facilities. Tools, dies and molds are manufactured by outside sources to the
Company's designs and specifications. Tooling is consigned to independent job
shops, largely near the Company's manufacturing facilities, which fabricate
and finish the components of the Company's products. The Company inspects the
components and assembles, tests, packages, stores and ships the finished
products. Most assembly operations are performed at the Des Plaines plant and
Indianapolis assembly facilities.
The Company outsources manufacturing of virtually all components to
minimize fixed costs and capital requirements and to produce flexibility in
responding to market needs. It believes its utilization of subcontractors
with specialized skills is the most efficient method of manufacturing its
products. The Company further believes that alternate tool making specialists
and fabricators are generally available. It uses multiple subcontractors for
most of its components to facilitate availability. In addition, the Company
purchases many of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of its
components to control the quality of the raw materials used by the
subcontractors and to receive more competitive prices for the raw materials.
The Company spent approximately $4,739,000, $4,095,000, and $4,719,000 on
research, development and testing of new products and development of related
tooling in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Sales and Distribution
- ----------------------
The Company has relationships with a broad base of over 1,400
distributors across the United States and in Canada. Each of the Company's
distributors maintains its own inventory of Company products and in turn,
sells to electrical contractors and builders and, in some cases, also sells at
the retail level. Sales to distributors are made through the Company's own
staff of sales managers and sales personnel and also through manufacturers'
agents who sell other electrical products of a non-competitive character. The
Company also seeks to have its products specified by architects, engineers and
contractors for large commercial and institutional projects with actual sales
made through the Company's distributors. The Company also sells to certain
wholesale lighting outlets and national accounts.
Inventories of substantially all items Juno produces are maintained at
the Des Plaines and Indianapolis plant and substantially all items are
maintained in Juno's warehouses in the Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia and Toronto areas. Most orders are shipped from stock inventory
within 48 hours of receipt.
Backlog and Material Customers
- ------------------------------
We have no material long-term contracts. The Company is not dependent on
any single customer or group of customers and no single customer accounted for
<PAGE 6>
as much as 10% of sales in fiscal 1999.
Competition
- -----------
We are not aware of any published figures that identify the overall
market for the Company's products. Nevertheless, the Company believes that
its sales place the Company among the five highest-selling manufacturers of
track and recessed lighting products in the United States. Since the Company
introduced its line of Exit and Emergency lighting products in fiscal 1996,
management believes that its share of this market has been insignificant. The
Company estimates that there are more than fifty manufacturers of competing
track, recessed and exit and emergency lighting products. The Company
competes not only with manufacturers in its own fields, but also with
manufacturers of a variety of fluorescent, high intensity discharge, exit and
emergency and decorative lighting products. A number of competitors,
including the Company's two largest competitors, are divisions or subsidiaries
of larger companies which have substantially greater resources than the
Company.
There is wide price variance in competitive products and the Company
believes that its line can be described as moderately priced in order to be
attractive to the high-volume commercial and residential markets. However,
lighting fixtures are often purchased in small quantities and, as a result,
product features may be more important to a purchaser in small quantities than
cost. The Company believes that its growth has been attributable principally
to the design and construction of its products, the quality of its sales force
and its reputation for prompt delivery and service.
As of November 30, 1999, the Company owned a substantial number of United
States patents and had several patent applications on file with the United
States Patent Office. The Company also has corresponding foreign patents and
registered trademarks in the United States. There is no assurance that any
patents will be issued with respect to pending or future applications. As the
Company develops products for new markets and uses, it normally seeks
available patent protection. The Company believes that its patents are
important, but does not consider itself materially dependent upon any single
patent or group of related patents.
Employees
- ---------
The Company employs approximately 1,000 persons. Most of the Company's
factory employees are represented by one of two unions. The expiration dates
for the collective bargaining agreements pertaining to the Company's Des
Plaines, Illinois, and Indianapolis, Indiana locations are September 2002 and
September 2001, respectively.
Recent Developments
- -------------------
On June 30, 1999, Jupiter Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fremont Investors I, LLC
("Fremont Investors"), was merged (the "Merger") with and into Juno pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization and Merger dated March 26, 1999
(the "Merger Agreement") by and among Merger Sub, Juno and Fremont Investors.
Pursuant to the Merger, the holders of all the issued and outstanding shares
of Juno common stock, $.01 par value per share, were entitled to receive
either $25 cash or one share of Juno common stock, $.001 par value per share,
for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. This consideration
was, however, subject to proration, as such holders were entitled to receive
an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Juno common stock. The Company funded
this effective retirement of 16,242,527 shares of the Company's common stock
with a payment to stockholders in the aggregate of approximately $406 million.
The sources of this funding included the Company's available cash and
marketable securities, a $106 million preferred stock investment by Fremont
and key employees of Juno ("Preferred Stock"), approximately $94.9 million of
bank debt ("Bank Debt") and the issuance of $125 million of subordinated debt
("Subordinated Debt"). In connection with the Merger and Recapitalization the
Company incurred approximately $9.9 million in transaction costs and $10.2
million of deferred financing costs. Included in these costs were payments of
<PAGE 7>
approximately $4.9 million to Fremont Investors.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- -------------------
Juno owns a building located in Des Plaines, Illinois of approximately
510,000 square feet which serves at its principal assembly, warehouse and
executive office facility. Juno also owns distribution warehouses in New
Jersey, Georgia, and Brampton, Ontario which have, in the aggregate,
approximately 140,700 square feet of floor space and owns a 130,000 square
foot assembly and general office facility in Indianapolis, Indiana for its
Indy Lighting, Inc. subsidiary. The Company leases two additional
distribution warehouses for relatively short terms which have, in the
aggregate, approximately 108,000 square feet of floor space. These warehouse
leases call for an aggregate annual rental of approximately $471,000. The
Company's facilities are modern, considered adequate for its business as
presently conducted and experience varying levels of utilization.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
On September 8, 1997, Juno Lighting, Inc. was served with a complaint for
patent infringement alleged by Mr. Ole K. Nilssen (Case No. 97 C 4624 in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). In this
complaint, Mr. Nilssen alleges that Juno has infringed seven of Mr. Nilssen's
patents and seeks a permanent injunction against Juno's sale of products
utilizing the inventions claimed by such patents and unspecified monetary
damages including a request for treble damages. These patents relate
variously to low-voltage, high frequency power supplies for lighting systems
and to so-called track lighting systems incorporating such low-voltage high
frequency power supplies. Juno filed an answer and counterclaim denying
the allegations of the complaint and asserting a number of affirmative
defenses and prayers for declaratory relief. To allow the parties to focus on
negotiating a potential resolution of this dispute, on November 10, 1999, Juno
and Mr. Nilssen dismissed their cases without prejudice and further entered
into an agreement to toll the statute of limitations up to and including May
1, 2000.
Juno, its directors, Fremont Investors and Fremont Partners, L.P.
("Fremont Partners") have been named as defendants in a purported class action
lawsuit commenced on or about April 1, 1999 in the Court of Chancery in and
for New Castle County, Delaware. Such action is captioned Linda Parnes v.
George M. Ball, Thomas Tomsovic, Allen Coleman, Robert S. Fremont, Julius
Lewis, Fremont Investors I, LLC, Fremont Partners L.P. and Juno Lighting, Inc.
(Case No. 17084NC). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the
members of the Juno Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Juno
stockholders by failing to appoint additional independent directors and by
entering into the Merger Agreement, and that Fremont Investors and Fremont
Partners aided and abetted such breach of fiduciary duties. More
specifically, the plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Juno Board
of Directors failed to engage in any market check and agreed to sell control
of Juno to Fremont Investors for a price that was less than Juno's true worth.
As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, a rescission of the
Merger, damages in an unspecified amount, a court order compelling Juno to
appoint two additional independent directors and an award to plaintiff of her
costs and expenses, including attorney's and expert's fees incurred in
connection with such lawsuit.
Juno believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are without
merit and intends to vigorously contest the action, on behalf of itself and
its directors, if the plaintiff elects to proceed with her action.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Results of Operations
This document contains various forward-looking statements. Statements in this
document that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to vary materially from those stated. Such risks and
uncertainties include: economic conditions generally, levels of construction
and remodeling activities, the ability to improve manufacturing efficiencies,
disruptions in manufacturing or distribution, product and price competition,
raw material prices, the ability to develop and successfully introduce new
products, technology changes, patent issues, exchange rate fluctuations, and
other risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of
the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or
developments.
Fiscal 1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998. For the fiscal year ended November 30,
1999, net sales increased approximately $6,517,000 or 4.0% to $167,458,000
from $160,941,000 for the like period in 1998. In management's opinion, this
increase is due primarily to an increase in the overall demand for lighting
products. Sales through Juno's Canadian subsidiary increased 15.9% to
$10,764,000 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999 compared to $9,290,000
for the like period in 1998.
Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 49.9% in fiscal
1999 compared to 50.4% in fiscal 1998. This decrease was due in part to a
change in sales mix which caused the percentage of direct material to sales to
be higher. Higher indirect labor costs were also a factor.
Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of
sales increased to 29.3% in fiscal 1999 compared to 27.4% in fiscal 1998.
This increase was due primarily to one-time charges of approximately
$1,088,000 for a bonus paid to Juno officers pursuant to Change of Control
Benefit Agreements and $149,000 for the loss on the early extinguishment of an
Industrial Revenue Bond that was repaid on June 30, 1999. This relationship
was affected by increases in amortization of deferred financing costs,
depreciation of computer hardware and software and costs associated with the
implementation of the Company's ERP system.
Interest expense was $9,588,000 for fiscal 1999 compared to $166,000 for 1998.
The increase reflects interest related to borrowings used to finance the
Merger in the third quarter of 1999. Information describing the Merger can be
found in the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this document.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding decreased to approximately
11.1 million in 1999 compared to 18.6 million in 1998. The Merger, described
in Recent Developments in Item 1 of this document, resulted in the effective
retirement of approximately 16.2 million shares of the Company's common stock.
The weighted average number of shares calculation included seven months of the
year with approximately 18.6 million shares outstanding and five months with
approximately 2.4 million shares outstanding.
Fiscal 1998 Compared to Fiscal 1997. For the fiscal year ended November 30,
1998, net sales increased approximately $21,086,000 or 15.1% to $160,941,000
from $139,855,000 for the like period in 1997. This increase is due primarily
to an overall increase in demand from improving economic conditions and is
represented by growth across substantially all product lines and markets.
Sales through Juno's Canadian subsidiary increased 8.4% to $9,290,000 for the
year ended November 30, 1998 compared to $8,571,000 for the like period in
1997.
Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales increased to 50.4% in fiscal
1998 compared to 48.6% in fiscal 1997 due to increased productivity, stable
raw material costs and benefits from the redesign and retooling of high volume
parts.
<PAGE 12>
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 27.4% in fiscal 1998 compared to 29.0% in fiscal 1997 due
primarily to economies of scale associated with the sales increase. In
addition, Juno incurred one-time charges in fiscal 1997 of approximately
$700,000 to repair defective components in certain exit and emergency lighting
fixtures and approximately $300,000 for the Company's move to its new factory
and corporate office facilities in 1997.
The effective income tax rate for fiscal 1998 increased slightly to 35.5%
compared to 35.3% for fiscal 1997. Since the Company's investment portfolio
consists largely of municipal bonds, the interest earned is substantially tax
exempt. Therefore, in periods when operating earnings increase compared to
prior years, the relationship of tax-exempt income to total income decreases,
thus producing a higher effective income tax rate.
Inflation While management believes it has generally been successful in
controlling the prices it pays for materials and passing on increased costs by
increasing its prices, no assurances can be given as to the Company's future
success in limiting material price increases or that it will be able to fully
reflect any material price increases in the prices it charges its customers or
fully offset such price increases through improved efficiencies.
Financial Condition
Fiscal 1999 The Company generated positive net cash flow from operating
activities of $22,185,000 comprised principally of net income, depreciation
and amortization, a decrease in prepaid expenses and increase in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, (collectively aggregating $35,964,000), net
of increases in accounts receivable of $2,274,000 and inventory of $1,202,000
and other assets of $10,303,000. The increase in other assets was due
primarily to fees in connection with the acquisition of the secured and
subordinated debt. The Company used the net cash provided from operating
activities to finance capital expenditures of $5,533,000 and pay cash
dividends of $3,720,000.
Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to $81,847,000 comprised
primarily of the proceeds received from the liquidation of the Company's
marketable securities portfolio used to partially finance the Merger.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $105,898,000 which is due
primarily to common stock retired in the recapitalization of $415,948,000 less
proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock, Subordinated Debt and Bank Debt
aggregating $325,003,000. In addition, principal payments on long-term debt
of $12,264,000 were made.
The Company historically has funded its operations principally from cash
generated from operations, available cash and income from marketable
securities. The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with
the Merger. The Company's liquidity needs are expected to arise primarily
from operating activities and servicing indebtedness incurred in connection
with the Merger.
Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit Facility and the
Subordinated Debt represent significant liquidity requirements for the
Company. As of November 30, 1999, the Company had cash of approximately $8.6
million and total indebtedness of approximately $210.1 million. Detailed
information concerning the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and the
Subordinated Debt can be found in the Company's audited financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document.
The Company's $35 million Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance
its working capital and had no outstanding balance on November 30, 1999. The
Company's principal source of cash to fund its liquidity needs will be net
cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility. The Company believes these sources will be adequate to meet its
anticipated future requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and
scheduled payments of principal and interest on its existing indebtedness for
at least the next 12 months. However, the Company may not generate sufficient
cash flow from operations or have future working capital borrowings available
<PAGE 13>
in an amount sufficient to enable it to service its indebtedness, including
the notes, or to make necessary capital expenditures.
Fiscal 1998 The Company generated positive cash flow from operating
activities of $22,567,000 comprised principally of net income, depreciation
and amortization, and an increase in accounts payable (collectively
aggregating $31,165,000), net of an increase in accounts receivable
($2,601,000) and an increase in inventory ($5,408,000). Accounts receivable
increased 9.1% in support of the higher sales level compared to 1997. In
order to maintain the Company's commitment to prompt delivery of product to
its customers, inventory increased by 23.8% compared to 1997 levels.
Miscellaneous other assets decreased to $607,000 from $4,456,000 due to the
sale of the building that formerly served as the Company's principal corporate
facility.
The Company used the net cash provided from operating activities to increase
its investment portfolio by $11,949,000 finance capital expenditures of
$5,293,000, and pay dividends of $6,686,000, which reflected a quarterly
dividend rate of $.09 per share.
On October 27, 1998 the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend
of $.10 per share payable January 15, 1999 to stockholders of record December
15, 1998. This represents an 11% increase from the previous quarterly rate of
$.09 per share.
The Company generated additional positive cash flow of $4,605,000 from the
sale of the building that formerly served as the Company's principal corporate
office and assembly facility. This building was previously classified in
miscellaneous assets.
Fiscal 1997 The Company generated positive cash flow from operating
activities of $17,200,000 comprised principally of net income, depreciation
and amortization, and a decrease in inventory (collectively aggregating
$24,355,000), net of a decrease in accrued liabilities ($3,773,000) and an
increase in accounts receivable ($1,359,000). Miscellaneous other assets
increased to $4,456,000 from $67,000 due to the reclassification of the
Company's remaining unsold building to other assets in recognition of its
status as a non-productive asset.
The Company used the net cash provided from operating activities to finance
capital expenditures of $13,226,000, primarily for its new factory and office
facility, make principal payments on long-term debt of $1,048,000 and pay
dividends of $5,925,000, which reflected a quarterly dividend rate of $.08 per
share.
On October 22, 1997 the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend
of $.09 per share payable January 15, 1998 to stockholders of record December
15, 1997. This represents a 13% increase from the previous quarterly rate of
$.08 per share.
In fiscal 1997 the Company completed construction of its current factory and
corporate office facility in Des Plaines, Illinois. Final occupancy took
place on October 12, 1997. The cost of the project, including furniture and
equipment, amounted to $22,470,000 and was financed out of existing corporate
funds.
The Company generated additional positive cash flow of $4,322,000 from the
sale of two of its three buildings, all of which were vacant due to the move
to the new corporate facility. The Company used these proceeds to retire an
existing Industrial Development Revenue Bond of approximately $950,000.
Other Matters The "Year 2000" issue referred to the risk of disruption of
operations caused by the failure of computer-controlled systems, including
systems used by third parties, to recognize date-sensitive information
properly when the year changed from 1999 to 2000. During the year ended
November 30, 1999, the Company implemented a program to upgrade its systems
hardware and software in an effort to make them Year 2000 compliant. The
Company incurred costs of approximately $ 5,248,000 in assessing its Year 2000
readiness and upgrading its computer systems. The Company has not experienced
<PAGE 14>
any significant business disruption arising from Year 2000 issues. The
Company will, however, continue to monitor its computer systems to ensure that
any latent Year 2000 issues that may arise are addressed promptly.

---------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Juno Lighting, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, of stockholders' equity (deficit) and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Juno Lighting, Inc. and its subsidiaries at November 30, 1999 and 1998, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended November 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Juno Lighting, Inc.
Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of the Business Juno Lighting, Inc. (the "Company") is a specialist in
the design, manufacture and marketing of lighting fixtures for commercial and
residential use primarily in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates 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 during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Marketable Securities Consistent with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company has classified its
current and non-current securities as available-for-sale and reports them at
their estimated market values, which have been determined based upon published
market quotes.
Unrealized gains and losses relating to available-for-sale securities are
considered to be temporary and therefore are excluded from earnings and
recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
Realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities are computed using
the specific identification method.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
or market.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax
reporting. Depreciation expense in 1999, 1998, and 1997 amounted to
approximately $3,994,000, $3,508,000, and $3,287,000 respectively.
Useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buildings and improvements 20 - 40 years
Tools and dies 3 years
Machinery and equipment 7 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Office furniture and equipment 5 years
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a forty
year period.
Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability approach under which
deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial
reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax
laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income.
Research and Development The Company spent approximately $4,739,000,
$4,095,000 and $4,719,000 on research, development and testing of new products
and development of related tooling in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's marketable securities are
recorded at market value. The carrying amount of the Company's other
financial instruments approximates their estimated fair value based upon
market prices for the same or similar type of financial instruments.
<PAGE 22>
Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the Company's
Canadian subsidiary have been translated using local currency as the
functional currency.
Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed based upon
weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share
is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Share and per share
information have been adjusted for all stock splits.
Stock-based Compensation As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the
Company has elected to continue to account for its stock-based awards in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and has provided the pro forma
disclosures as required by SFAS 123 for the years ended November 30, 1999,
1998 and 1997.
Note 2:Merger and Recapitalization
On June 30, 1999, Jupiter Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fremont Investors I, LLC
("Fremont Investors"), was merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization and Merger dated March
26, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Merger Sub, the Company and
Fremont Investors. Pursuant to the Merger, the holders of all the issued and
outstanding shares of Juno common stock, $.01 par value per share, were
entitled to receive either $25 cash or one share of Juno common stock, $.001
par value per share, for each share of common stock issued and outstanding;
provided that this consideration was subject to proration, as such holders
were entitled to receive an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Juno common
stock. The Company funded this effective retirement of 16,242,527 shares of
the Company's common stock with a payment to stockholders in the aggregate of
approximately $406 million. The sources of this funding included the
Company's available cash and marketable securities, a $106 million preferred
stock investment by Fremont and key employees of Juno ("Preferred Stock"),
approximately $94.9 million of bank debt ("Bank Debt") and the issuance of
$125 million of subordinated debt ("Subordinated Debt"). In connection with

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a senior credit
facility (the "Credit Facility") with Bank Of America, N.A., Credit Suisse
First Boston and certain other lenders providing (i) a $90 million term
facility consisting of a (a) $40 million tranche A term loan ("Term Loan A"),
and (b) $50 million tranche B term loan ("Term Loan B"), and (ii) a $35
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option,
at a rate per annum equal to either the Eurodollar rate (the London InterBank
Offered Rate for eurodollar deposits as adjusted for statutory reserve
requirements) or a base rate plus variable applicable percentages. At
November 30, 1999 the nominal interest rates for Term Loan A and Term Loan B
were 8.01% and 8.51%, respectively. Term Loan A and Term Loan B are each
payable in separate quarterly installments commencing February 29, 2000.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are due on November 30, 2005.

senior subordinated notes due July 1, 2009 (the "Notes") to qualified
institutional buyers under a private placement offering pursuant to Rule 144A
and Regulation S of the Securities Act, resulting in approximately $120.4
million in proceeds to the Company. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-
annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year commencing January 1, 2000. The
Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company,
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior
indebtedness of the Company, including the Credit Facility. Each of the
aforementioned debt facilities contain restrictive covenants. The Secured
Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, as
defined.

approximately $3.9 million and $6.3 million of financing fees, respectively,
which are being amortized over the life of the related debt.
The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all Company assets.
The aggregate amounts of existing long-term debt maturing in each of the next
five years are as follows: 2000 - $3,330,000; 2001 - $5,230,000; 2002 -
$6,180,000; 2003 - $8,080,000; 2004 - $8,080,000.
On June 30, 1999 the Company paid approximately $3.3 million to pay off an
Industrial Revenue Development Bond due in 2016. The early extinguishment

Note 7:Stock Based Compensation Plans
The Company maintains two stock-based compensation programs: a stock option
plan and a stock purchase plan. Prior to June 30, 1999, stock options were
issued under the 1993 Stock Option Plan. The 1993 Stock Option Plan ("the
1993 Plan") provided for the granting of stock options or stock appreciation
<PAGE 25>
rights ("SAR") to certain key employees, including officers. Under the 1993
Plan, up to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued upon
exercise of stock options, and SARs may be granted with respect to up to
600,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Effective June 30, 1999, the
1993 Plan was terminated and replaced by the 1999 Stock Award and Incentive
Plan ("the 1999 Plan"). At November 30, 1999, remaining options outstanding
under the 1993 Plan totaled 181,800. No further awards were made under the
1993 Plan and the remaining options outstanding vested upon cancellation of
the 1993 Plan. The Company's 1999 Plan provides for the granting of stock
options or stock appreciation rights ("SAR") to certain key employees,
including officers, directors (including non-employee directors), and
independent contractors. The stock option plan provides for the grant of
"incentive stock options" or "non-qualified stock options" as defined in
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended. Under the 1999 Plan, up
to 940,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued upon the exercise
of stock options, and SARs may be granted with respect to up to 940,000
shares of the Company's common stock. At November 30, 1999, a total of 536,350
shares were available for grant under the 1999 Plan. The per-share option
price for options granted under the stock option plan may not be less than
100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of
grant.
The Company's stock purchase plan allows employees to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock through payroll deductions over a twelve month period.
The purchase price is equal to 85 percent of the fair market value of the
common stock on either the first or last day of the accumulation period,
whichever is lower. Purchases under the stock purchase plan are limited to
the lesser of $5,000 or 10% of an employees base salary. In connection with
the Company's stock purchase plan, 400,000 shares of common stock have been
reserved for future issuances. Under this stock purchase plan, 11,926 shares
of common stock were issued at $16.15 per share in fiscal 1999.

===================================== ======================
As permitted under SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to follow APB
Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock-based awards.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required
by SFAS 123 for stock-based awards granted after November 30, 1995, as if the
Company had accounted for its stock-based awards under the fair value method
of SFAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards was estimated
as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The weighted average estimated grant date fair value, as defined by SFAS 123,
for options granted to employees during fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $13.25,
$8.52 and $7.54 per share, respectively, under the Company's Stock Option Plan
and $5.94, $4.88 and $4.77, respectively, under the Company's Stock Purchase
Plan. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards was estimated
assuming the following weighted average assumptions:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected life (in years) 8 8 8
Expected volatility 35.2% 35.9% 35.9%
Dividend yield 0.0% 2.0% 2.0%
Risk free interest rate 6.0% 4.7% 6.0%
Had the Company recorded compensation based on the estimated grant date fair
value, as defined by SFAS 123, for awards granted under its stock-based
compensation plans, the Company's net income available to common shareholders
and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
below for the years ended November 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997:
(in thousands except per share amounts)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income available to common
shareholders as reported $13,740 $26,625 $20,303
Pro forma net income available to
common shareholders $13,324 $26,551 $20,223
Net income per share as reported
(Basic & diluted) $ 1.23 $ 1.43 $ 1.10
Pro forma net income per share
(Basic & diluted) $ 1.20 $ 1.43 $ 1.09
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pro forma effect on net income available to common shareholders and net
income per common share for 1999, 1998 and 1997 is not representative of the
pro forma effect on net income available to common shareholders in future
years because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation
expense related to grants made prior to fiscal 1996.
<PAGE 27>
Note 8:Profit Sharing Plan
The Company has a profit sharing plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code, whereby participants may contribute a percentage of
compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Code. The
plan provides for a matching contribution by the Company which amounted to
approximately $221,000, $195,000 and $181,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively. In addition, the Company may make additional contributions at
the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board authorized additional
contributions of $758,000, $807,000, and $598,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Note 9:Series A Preferred Stock
On June 30, 1999, the Company issued 1,060,000 shares of Series A convertible
stock ("Preferred Stock") to Fremont Investors and certain employees of the
Company. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative
quarterly dividends, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors, in an
amount equal to the greater of:
- dividends which would have been payable to the holders of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock in such quarter had they converted
their Series A Convertible Preferred stock into Juno common stock
prior to the record date of dividends declared on the common stock
in such quarter, or
- the stated amount then in effect multiplied by 2%.
Through June 30, 2004, the dividends for the Preferred Stock will be payable
by an increase in the stated amount of such stock. After June 30, 2004, the
dividends will be paid in cash until redemption or conversion. The Preferred
Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of
$26.25 per share. Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote for each
whole share of common stock that would be issuable to such holder upon the
conversion of all the shares of the Preferred Stock held by such holder on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote.
Additionally, holders of Preferred Stock have preference to common
stockholders in the event of liquidation, dissolution, winding up or sale of
the Company.
