NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
A. The financial information included herein is unaudited and prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q; however, such information reflects all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Reference should be made to the annual financial statements, including footnotes thereto, included in Fedders Corporation's (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999. The Company's business is seasonal, and consequently, operating results for the three-month period ending November 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2000.
B. In August 1998, the Company announced that it had been authorized to repurchase up to $30 million of outstanding stock. Under this plan, in the first three months of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of Class A Stock for $2.2 million or $4.77 per share. Total repurchases under this plan amounted to approximately 3.1 million shares of Common and Class A stock for $15.4 million or $5.04 per share.
C. In the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, net loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common, Class A and Class B Stock outstanding, which amounted to approximately 36,029,000 and 37,689,000 shares, respectively. Stock options were not included in computing diluted earnings per share due to the net loss in both periods.
D. In January 1998, the Company announced a plan to restructure its operations, which resulted in the Company recording a one-time expense totaling $16.8 million in the second fiscal quarter of 1998. At November 30, 1999, the restructuring reserve balance was approximately $1.2 million and consisted principally of amounts for terminations of various equipment and facility leases.
In August 1999, the Company added to the 1998 restructuring of its operations to include a one-time net charge of $3.1 million. At November 30, 1999, the restructuring reserve balance was approximately $0.6 million and consisted principally of terminations of various equipment leases.
E. Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
Fedders North America, Inc. ("FNA") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. FNA and the Company are the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, of which $100 million were issued in August, 1997, and $50 million were issued in August, 1999. The Company's guarantee is full and unconditional. The following condensed consolidating financial statements present separate information for FNA and for the Company and its subsidiaries other than FNA, and should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Intercompany Transactions:
The historical condensed consolidating financial statements presented below include the following transactions between the Company and FNA:
to sales. Such charges to FNA amounted to approximately $3.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
2) FNA's interest expense reflects actual interest charges on the 9-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, a promissory note, an industrial revenue bond and capital lease obligations.
3) FNA's depreciation and amortization for the three months ended November 30, 1999 and 1998 amounted to approximately $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Capital expenditures of FNA amounted to $1.7 million and $2.3 million in each three-month period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

|
====================================== |
Net sales in the traditionally low-volume first quarter of fiscal 2000 of $44.7 million increased approximately 74% from sales of $25.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. The substantial increase was due to added sales of counter-seasonal and non-seasonal indoor air quality products by Trion, Inc. acquired by the Company in August, 1999.
The gross profit margin increased in the first quarter of 2000 due primarily to changes in customer and product mix as well as the Trion, Inc. and Envirco sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.3 million versus $9.0 million in the prior year.
These expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales from the prior year as a result of the sales increase.
Net interest expense increased in the first fiscal quarter due to the issuance of $50 million of 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 in August, 1999.
The net loss for the normally unprofitable off-season first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $2.1 million, or 6 cents per share, compared to a net loss in fiscal 1999 of $2.9 million, or 8 cents per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital requirements of the Company are seasonal, with cash balances peaking in the fourth fiscal quarter and the greatest utilization of its lines of credit occurring early in the calendar year. Cash on hand amounted to $50.2 million at November 30, 1999, compared to $40.0 million a year earlier.
Net cash used in operations for the three-months ended November 30, 1999 amounted to $65.6 million. During the first fiscal quarter, the Company utilized cash to produce compressors and finished goods. Inventories increased to $97.2 million at November 30, 1999 from $61.6 million at year-end, while increasing from $84.1 million a year earlier. Finished goods increased to $68.4 million from $29.3 million at year-end and $45.3 million in the prior year. Accounts receivable of $20.1 million decreased slightly from year-end of $21.0 million and increased versus the prior year amount of $15.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million consisted of capital expenditures of $0.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2000 offset by minority interest.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1.5 million, primarily due to $3.6 million of stock repurchases under a previously announced stock repurchase plan of up to $30 million, cash dividends of $1.1 million offset by proceeds from short-term borrowing and stock options exercised of $3.6 million. At November 30, 1999 the Company had $4.0 million of short-term borrowings, related to its Chinese joint venture, versus no short-term borrowings a year earlier.
The Company declared quarterly dividends of 3.0 cents and 2.5 cents on each share of outstanding Class A and Common Stock and 2.7 cents and 2.25 cents on each share of outstanding Class B Stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At December 31, 1999 the Company had approximately 36 million shares of Common, Class A and Class B Stock outstanding at a weighted average closing price of $5.41.
Management believes that the Company's cash, earnings and borrowing capacity are adequate to meet the demands of its operations and its long-term credit requirements.
Year 2000:
The Company incurred $84 thousand in Year 2000 compliance costs in the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 1999. Fiscal year 1999 Year 2000 compliance costs were approximately $500 thousand. No additional Year 2000 compliance costs are anticipated. The Company did not experience any Year 2000 compliance problems and does not anticipate that Year 2000 information technology problems will have any impact on its future earnings or cash flow.
