PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
DT Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "DTI") is
an engineering-driven designer, manufacturer and integrator of automated
production equipment and systems used to manufacture, test or package a variety
of industrial and consumer products. The Company is the largest manufacturer of
integrated assembly and test systems for discrete parts, as well as integrated
tablet processing and packaging systems in North America. Although the Company
experienced declines in revenues and operating profits in the most recent fiscal
year, growth opportunities are believed to be provided by certain trends among
its customers, including increased emphasis on manufacturing productivity and
flexibility, concurrent engineering of products and assembly systems,
globalization of manufacturing and markets, vendor rationalization and
outsourcing. To capitalize on these trends, DTI has implemented a business
strategy to provide, develop and market complementary technologies and
capabilities to supply customers with integrated processing, assembly, testing
and packaging systems for their products. As part of this strategy, the Company
seeks to cross-sell the products produced by previously acquired companies
through its larger company-wide sales force providing for greater geographic and
customer coverage.
The Company operates in two significant business segments: Automation and
Packaging. Through acquisitions, internal growth and product development, the
Company's Automation business grew from consolidated net sales of $51.1 million
in the fiscal year ended June 26, 1994 to sales of $355.0 million in fiscal
1998. The Automation segment's sales dropped significantly in fiscal 1999 to
$299.8 million primarily from the lower revenues with a significant electronics
customer. The Company's Packaging business grew from consolidated net sales of
$25.7 million in fiscal 1994 to a record high of $116.8 million in revenues in
fiscal 1998. The Packaging segment's sales were $109.5 million in fiscal 1999,
decreasing primarily from the softness in the plastics processing equipment
markets and to a lesser extent production inefficiencies at its primary plastics
processing equipment facility. Sales from the Company's stamping and fabrication
businesses were $32.9 million in fiscal 1999, sharply lower than fiscal 1998
revenues of $47.5 million, primarily due to the sale of the Knitting Elements
business in May 1998 and the softness in sales to agricultural equipment
customers.
The Company recorded operating profit of $10.4 million in fiscal 1999 compared
to $62.6 million in fiscal 1998. The lower operating profit resulted in an
overall net loss for fiscal 1999 of $1.8 million. The operating performance was
caused by the lower sales, manufacturing inefficiencies and significant cost
overruns on automation projects as discussed more fully in Item 7 - Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
AUTOMATION SEGMENT. The Automation segment, which accounted for approximately
68% of the Company's consolidated fiscal 1999 net sales, designs and builds a
complete line of integrated automated assembly and testing systems. Integrated
systems combine a variety of manufacturing technologies into a complete
automated manufacturing system. Core capabilities of the Company's Automation
segment include systems integration, medium/high speed indexing,
synchronous/non-synchronous assembly, flexible/reconfigurable, high speed
precision assembly, build-to-print, material handling, cell control/data
collection, lean manufacturing, precision tools and dies, micron assembly and
automated welding systems. The Automation segment's products are used in the
electronics, automotive, consumer products, tire, electrical components,
appliance, medical devices, hardware and many other industries. The Company is
the largest manufacturer of integrated assembly and test systems for discrete
parts in North America.
PACKAGING SEGMENT. The Packaging segment, which accounted for approximately 25%
of the Company's consolidated fiscal 1999 net sales, designs and builds
proprietary machines and integrated systems used to perform processing and
packaging tasks. Core capabilities of the Company's Packaging segment include
the design and manufacture of thermoforming, blister packaging and foam
extrusion systems, liquid filling systems and a complete line of tablet
processing and packaging systems. The Packaging segment's products are primarily
used in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, cosmetics, consumer products and food
industries. Sales of these products also produce a stream of recurring revenues
from replacement parts and service as the Company's substantial installed base
of equipment is maintained and upgraded over time. The Company is the largest
manufacturer of integrated tablet processing and packaging systems in North
America.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Product liability claims are asserted against the Company from time to time for
various injuries alleged to have resulted from defects in the manufacture and/or
design of the Company's products. At June 27, 1999, there were 18 such claims
pending. The Company does not believe that the resolution of such suits, either
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition. Product liability claims
are covered by the Company's comprehensive general liability insurance policies,
subject to certain deductible amounts. The Company has established reserves for
such deductible amounts, which it believes to be adequate based on its previous
claims experience. However, there can be no assurance that resolution of product
liability claims in the future will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
In addition to product liability claims, from time to time, the Company is the
subject of legal proceedings, including claims involving employee matters,
commercial matters and similar claims. There are no material claims currently
pending. The Company maintains comprehensive general liability insurance which
it believes to be adequate for the continued operation of its business.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
DT Industries, Inc. (DTI or the Company) was formed through a series of
acquisitions beginning with the initial acquisitions of Detroit Tool Group, Inc.
and the Peer Division of Teledyne, Inc. in 1992. Subsequent to those
transactions, the Company or its subsidiaries completed a number of
acquisitions. The acquisitions were elements of a strategic plan to acquire
companies with proprietary products and manufacturing capabilities which had
strong market and technological positions in the niche markets they served and
furthered the Company's goal of providing customers a full range of integrated
automated systems. The Company believes that emphasis on complementary
acquisitions of companies serving target markets has allowed it to broaden its
product offerings and to provide customers a single source for complete
integrated automation systems. The acquisitions expanded the Company's base of
customers and markets, creating greater opportunities for cross-selling among
the various divisions of the Company. As a result of poor operating performance
in fiscal 1999, the Company was required to negotiate an amendment to its
existing $175 million multi-currency revolving and term credit facility. Part of
the terms of the amendment included a reduction in the loan commitment as well
as restrictions on acquisitions. As such, the Company's focus in fiscal 2000
will center on operational improvements to increase profitability. The Company
has established goals for fiscal 2000 which focus on enhancing profitability
through cost-containment measures, the right-sizing of operations, the
implementation of performance metrics and the overall continuous improvement
programs.
The Company has made the following acquisitions in the past three years which
affected the results of operations:
July 1996 Mid-West Automation Enterprises, Inc. (Mid-West)
September 1996 Hansford Manufacturing Corporation (Hansford)
July 1997 Lucas Assembly and Test Systems (LATS), renamed
Assembly Technology & Test (ATT)
August 1998 Scheu & Kniss
In July 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets of C.
E. King, Ltd., a manufacturer of tablet counting, liquid filling and capping
equipment located in Chertsey, England. The purchase price of $2.1 million was
primarily financed by borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
As the transaction occurred subsequent to the end of fiscal 1999, the balance
sheet and results of operations of C. E. King are excluded from the fiscal 1999
consolidated balance sheet and results of operations of DTI. The pro forma
effects of the acquisition of C. E. King assets on the Company's fiscal 1999
financial position are not material.
REVIEW OF FISCAL 1999 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fiscal 1999 financial results were significantly below prior year and planned
results. Fiscal 1999 was expected to be a transition year as a result of a
significant reduction in business with our largest customer as they were
reducing their capital spending due to adequate capacity. The Company had
planned to replace a significant portion of this revenue decrease decrease with
orders from new customers. However, fiscal 1999 orders were $396.7 million, or
21% below the prior year. Order activity reflected not only the lower activity
of our largest customer but the softness in capital spending in many of our
other key markets, including automotive, heavy equipment, agricultural equipment
and appliance. The Company's financial results were below the prior year's
results throughout the year due primarily to the lower sales levels and the
resulting unfavorable manufacturing efficiencies. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased as the Company continued its pursuit of new
business and development of new products and technologies.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company reported a net loss of $7.1
million on sales of $113.5 million. The fourth quarter results of operations
included special charges of $13 million. The special charges included a charge
of $9.8 million to cost of goods sold related to cost, performance and
collection issues on three automation projects, a $2.5 million restructuring
charge and a $0.7 million bad debt reserve established for a receivable
currently being pursued in a legal action. Excluding these special charges, the
Company would have recorded approximately $1.1 million of net income in the
fourth quarter versus $8.4 million for the prior year's fourth quarter.
17
<PAGE>
The Company has taken various actions to contain costs and improve profitability
reflected in the restructuring charge in the fourth quarter. These actions
include management changes at under-performing units, reductions in work force
throughout the company and the closing of underutilized facilities. Project
issues which lowered earnings in fiscal 1999 have been reviewed and changes
implemented in methods and controls in an effort to mitigate these risks in the
future. The Company has taken a very conservative view of fiscal 2000 with a
focus on cost control, the right sizing of operations and the improvement of
profitability.
For a better understanding of the significant factors that influenced the
Company's performance during the past three years, the following discussion
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The Company primarily operates in two business segments, Automation and
Packaging. The Automation segment designs and builds integrated systems for the
assembly, test and handling of discrete products. The Packaging segment
manufactures tablet processing, counting and liquid filling systems and plastics
processing equipment including thermoforming, blister packaging, heat sealing
and foam extrusion.

Set forth below is certain financial data relating to each business segment.
Prior years' data has been restated to reflect segment presentation in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,

<PAGE>
The percentage of completion method of accounting is used by the Company to
recognize revenues and related costs. Under the percentage of completion method,
revenues for customer contracts are measured based on the ratio of engineering
and manufacturing labor hours incurred to date compared to total estimated
engineering and manufacturing labor hours or, for certain customer contracts,
the ratio of total costs incurred to date to total estimated costs. Any
revisions in the estimated total costs or values of the contracts during the
course of the work are reflected when the facts that require the revisions
become known.
Costs and related expenses to manufacture the products are recorded as cost of
sales when the related revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.
Gross margin may vary from year to year as a result of the variations in
profitability of contracts for large orders of automated production systems or
special machines. In addition, changes in the product mix in a given period
affect gross margin.

Consolidated net sales decreased $77.2 million, or 14.9%, to $442.1 million for
the year ended June 27, 1999 from $519.3 million for the year ended June 28,
1998. Net sales by segment were as follows (in millions):
Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended
June 27, 1999 June 28, 1998 (Decrease)
------------------- ------------------- -----------------
Automation $299.8 $355.0 $(55.2)
Packaging 109.5 116.8 (7.3)
Other 32.8 47.5 (14.7)
------------------- ------------------- -----------------
$442.1 $519.3 $(77.2)
=================== =================== =================
Excluding the incremental sales of $9.5 million from the acquisition of ATT in
July 1997, Automation segment sales decreased $64.7 million, or 18.2% from the
year ended June 28, 1998. Decreased Automation segment revenues resulted
primarily from lower sales to the electronics industry. Sales to a significant
electronics customer were down substantially in the year ended June 27, 1999 as
compared to the year ended June 28, 1998. Soft order activity throughout the
Automation segment during fiscal 1999 due to continued delays on certain
projects also contributed to the decreased sales revenues compared to the prior
year to customers in the appliance, automotive and heavy equipment industries.
Excluding the incremental sales of $5.5 million from the acquisition of S&K in
August 1998, Packaging segment sales decreased $12.8 million, or 11.0% from the
year ended June 28, 1998 primarily from lower sales of plastics processing
equipment, particularly foam extrusion systems to international markets. Sales
of tablet counting and packaging systems to the pharmaceutical and nutritional
industries, which had been strong throughout the first three quarters of fiscal
1999, decreased during the fourth quarter resulting in sales slightly below the
prior year level.
The decreased revenues from the Company's other businesses reflect the sale of
the Knitting Elements business in May 1998 combined with significantly lower
sales of parts to agricultural equipment customers. An economic downturn in the
agricultural equipment industry has resulted in the decreased revenues from
sales of precision metal stampings and fabrications to several customers serving
this market. Also, certain other customers of the precision metal stamping and
fabricating business have been eliminated through planned attrition and product
changes. These decreases were partially offset by strong sales to customers in
the transportation industry.
Gross profit decreased $45.6 million, or 32.8%, to $93.6 million for the year
ended June 27, 1999 from $139.2 million for the year ended June 28, 1998. The
gross margin decreased to 21.2% from 26.8% due to substantial losses on certain
assembly systems and welding systems projects reflecting cost overruns and
production difficulties, manufacturing inefficiencies resulting from the lower
volume of manufacturing activity and unfavorable product mix changes in the
Company's customer base as compared to the prior year. Based on facts and
circumstances occurring or culminating in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company recorded a charge of $9.8 million to cost of goods sold in the fourth
quarter related to three automation projects to revise cost estimates to reflect
additional costs anticipated to bring the projects up to contract
specifications, to reflect anticipated final billings to recoup costs of
modifications incurred during the production process, and on one of the
projects, to reflect warranty costs expected to support the manufacturing
systems through the initial year of production.
Decreased margins in the Packaging segment reflect cost overruns and production
inefficiencies, primarily during the first six months of fiscal 1999, on
plastics processing equipment. This decrease was partially offset by improved
margins on sales of tablet counting and packaging machinery. Margins of the
Company's metal stamping and fabrication business declined due to lower
manufacturing efficiencies resulting from the lower level of manufacturing
activity and unfavorable product mix issues compared to the prior year.
SG&A expenses increased $5.5 million, or 7.3%, to $80.7 million for the year
ended June 27, 1999 from $75.2 million for the year ended June 28, 1998. As the
Company continued to focus on sales and marketing efforts in order to extend its
customer base, the sales force was expanded contributing to increased
expenditures for travel and quoting costs. The Company has also increased its
participation in trade shows and other industry events. Research and development
activities were also increased during fiscal 1999 as compared to the prior year
in order to bolster the Company's technological position and create new products
and services. The Company also took a charge of $0.7 million to SG&A expense in
21
<PAGE>
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 related to a receivable that is currently
being pursued in a legal action. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, SG&A
expenses increased to 18.3% from 14.5% in fiscal 1998. The Company has taken
steps to maintain current levels of SG&A expenses.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a restructuring
charge of $2.5 million for severance costs associated with management changes
and workforce reductions, idle facility costs resulting from the lower level of
order activity and non-cash asset writedowns. The charge includes severance
costs of $1.7 million, idle facility costs of $0.4 million and $0.4 million of
asset writedowns and other charges. The Company has utilized $0.4 million of the
reserve as of June 27, 1999 resulting in a remaining reserve of $2.1 million
which is expected to be used during fiscal 2000. The Company continues to review
current operations with a goal of further cost cuts and other measures to
streamline operations and enhance profitability.
Operating income decreased $52.2 million, or 83.4%, to $10.4 million for the
year ended June 27, 1999 from $62.6 million for the year ended June 28, 1998, as
a result of the factors noted above. The operating margin decreased to 2.3% from
12.3%, excluding the effect of a $1.4 million non-recurring, non-cash charge
related to the sale of the Company's non-core Knitting Elements division, in the
prior year.
Interest expense increased to $7.7 million for the year ended June 27, 1999 from
$6.5 million for the year ended June 28, 1998. The increase in interest expense
primarily reflects the increased level of debt associated with the stock
repurchase program and the August 1998 acquisition of S&K. The stock repurchase
program was terminated in September 1999.
The Company paid $5.0 million of dividends on the Company-obligated, mandatorily
redeemable convertible preferred securities of subsidiary DT Capital Trust
holding solely convertible junior subordinated debentures of the Company
(Convertible Preferred Securities) for the years ended June 27, 1999 and June
28, 1998. Effective September 1999, the Company elected to defer interest
payments on the convertible junior subordinated debentures. As a result,
quarterly distributions on the Convertible Preferred Securities will also be
deferred.
Income before extraordinary loss decreased $32.7 million for the year ended June
27, 1999 from $30.9 million for the year ended June 28, 1998 to a loss of ($1.8
million). An extraordinary loss was recognized in fiscal 1998 for costs incurred
of $2.0 million, less applicable income tax benefits of $0.8 million, related to
the refinancing of debt in July 1997. Basic and diluted loss per share before
the extraordinary loss were $0.17 for the year ended June 27, 1999 versus basic
and diluted earnings per share of $2.73 and $2.49, respectively, for the year
ended June 28, 1998. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the year
ended June 27, 1999 were 10.1 million versus 11.3 million for the year ended
June 28, 1998. The decrease reflects the purchase of 1.4 million shares of the
Company's stock since May 1998. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for
the year ended June 27, 1999 were 10.2 million versus 13.6 million for the year
ended June 28, 1998. The decrease primarily reflects the exclusion of
antidilutive convertible securities and the repurchase of the Company's stock.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997
Consolidated net sales increased $123.2 million, or 31.1%, to $519.3 million for
the year ended June 28, 1998, from $396.1 million for the year ended June 29,
1997. Net sales by segment were as follows (in millions):
Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended
June 28, 1998 June 29, 1997 (Increase)
------------------- ------------------- -----------------
Automation $355.0 $248.2 $106.8
Packaging 116.8 100.4 16.4
Other 47.5 47.5 ---
------------------- ------------------- -----------------
$519.3 $396.1 $123.2
=================== =================== =================
Of the $123.2 million increase in sales, $107.4 million was due to the
incremental sales of recently acquired businesses offset by the reduction in
sales from the disposition of the Knitting Elements division, with the remaining
$15.8 million, or 4.0%, relating to increased sales from existing businesses.
Recently acquired businesses included Hansford in September 1996 and ATT in July
1997. The increase in sales by the Automation segment was due to $108.9 million
in incremental sales from recently acquired businesses offset by a slight
decrease in sales from existing businesses. The decrease was the result of less
sales of automated assembly and test systems reflecting decreased revenues from
certain customers in the electronics industry partially offset by the growth in
sales of welding systems, custom build-to-print machines and sales of systems to
customers in the automotive industry. Packaging segment sales increased due to
the growth in sales of packaging systems, including thermoforming and extrusion
systems and liquid and tablet packaging lines.
Gross profit increased $28.1 million, or 25.3%, to $139.2 million for the year
ended June 28, 1998, from $111.1 million for the year ended June 29, 1997, as a
result of the sales increases discussed above. The gross margin decreased to
26.8% from 28.0%, primarily as a result of the effects of acquired businesses.
Gross margin exclusive of acquired operations decreased to 27.7%, primarily
reflecting the decline in the gross margin of the Company's precision metal
stamping and fabrication business.
SG&A expenses increased $20.8 million, or 38.4%, to $75.2 million for the year
ended June 28, 1998 from $54.4 million for the year ended June 29, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to recently acquired businesses, with the remaining
increase the result of personnel additions, increased costs related to
compensation and incentive programs, professional fees, commissions and travel
costs, most of which related to the overall growth of the Company. The
additional professional fees pertained to the selection of the core business
system and various tax and human resource consulting projects. As a percentage
of consolidated net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 14.5% from 13.7%.
On May 1, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its non-core
Knitting Elements division for $9.4 million. DTI incurred a non-recurring,
non-cash operating charge of $1.4 million related to the sale. The loss, net of
the estimated tax benefit, lowered diluted earnings per share by $0.06.
Operating income increased $5.9 million, or 10.4%, to $62.6 million for the year
ended June 28, 1998 from $56.7 million for the year ended June 29, 1997, as a
result of the factors noted above. Excluding the Knitting Elements divestiture,
the operating margin decreased to 12.3% from 14.3% in the prior year as a result
of the lower operating margins of recently acquired businesses and factors
discussed above.
Interest expense decreased to $6.5 million for the year ended June 28, 1998 from
$11.1 million for the year ended June 29, 1997. The decrease in interest expense
is the result of the public offering of common stock in November 1996, the
Convertible Preferred Securities offering in June 1997 and operating cash flow
in fiscal 1998 which allowed the Company to retire debt.
Income before extraordinary loss increased to $30.9 million for the year ended
June 28, 1998 from $26.4 million for the year ended June 29, 1997 as a result of
the factors noted above. The Company recognized extraordinary losses of $2.0
million and $0.5 million, less applicable income tax benefits of $0.8 million
and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the refinancing of debt in July 1997
and July 1996, respectively.
Basic and diluted earnings per share before the extraordinary loss were $2.73
and $2.49, respectively, for the year ended June 28, 1998 versus $2.55 and
$2.41, respectively for the year ended June 29, 1997. Basic weighted average
shares outstanding for the year ended June 28, 1998 were 11.3 million versus
23
<PAGE>
10.3 million for the year ended June 29, 1997. The increase is primarily the
result of the 2.25 million shares of common stock issued in a public offering in
November 1996. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended
June 28, 1998 were 13.6 million versus 11.0 million for the year ended June 29,
1997. The increase reflects the 2.25 million shares of common stock issued in a
public offering in November 1996 and the assumed conversion of the Convertible
Preferred Securities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $28.2 million and
$43.8 million during fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. During fiscal 1997, net
cash used by operating activities was approximately $0.7 million. Net income
(loss) plus non-cash operating charges provided $13.0 million, $47.0 million and
$40.3 million of operating cash flow in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Working capital balances decreased $15.2 million during fiscal 1999 due
primarily to a significant decrease in accounts receivable from June 28, 1998
partially offset by an unfavorable change in inventory balances primarily in the
Packaging segment. The decrease in accounts receivable, which relates primarily
to the Automation segment, reflects the lower level of manufacturing activity in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 versus the comparable period in 1998 and the
Company's increased efforts throughout fiscal 1999 to collect outstanding
receivables. Inventories of plastics processing equipment have risen to a more
constant level after strong shipments late in fiscal 1998 had decreased
inventories to below normal amounts. The Company also began stocking some
standard packaging machinery during fiscal 1999 to reduce lead times and
maintain manufacturing efficiencies.
For the fiscal year ended June 28, 1998, net increases in working capital
balances used operating cash of $3.2 million. The increase in working capital
from June 29, 1997 reflects the growth in the packaging systems businesses,
primarily contributing to an increase in inventory and costs and earnings in
excess of amounts billed. These increases were partially offset by the lower
level of manufacturing activity related to certain electronics customers,
contributing to the overall decrease in accounts receivable.
In fiscal 1997, working capital balances increased $41.0 million primarily due
to a $26.5 million increase in accounts receivable and a $7.2 million increase
in inventory. These increases were driven by the increased level of
manufacturing activity and a trend toward larger dollar value and longer lead
time projects as well as the strong level of shipments in the final months of
the year.
Working capital balances can fluctuate significantly between periods as a result
of the significant costs incurred on individual contracts and the relatively
large amounts invoiced and collected by the Company for a number of large
contracts, and the amounts and timing of customer advances or progress payments
associated with certain contracts.
During the year ended June 27, 1999, the Company borrowed $7.7 million on its
revolving credit facility and raised another $6.5 million primarily through the
issuance of Bonds, as discussed below. These funds were combined with the $28.2
million of cash generated from operations and used to finance the acquisition of
Scheu & Kniss for $10.4 million, repurchase $10.0 million of the Company's
stock, pay dividends of $0.8 million and finance capital expenditures of $15.9
million. The Company purchased 1.4 million shares of its stock at a total cost
of $34.4 million under the stock repurchase program since May 1998. The stock
repurchase program was terminated in September 1999.
In November 1998, DTI made an additional payment to the sellers of Kalish as
determined by formulae based on the earnings of the acquired business. The
additional purchase price specified within the Kalish agreement, based on
earnings from the acquisition date to June 28, 1998, amounted to $3.0 million
and was paid through a combination of stock and cash. This additional purchase
price was recorded as goodwill. One of the directors of the Company was a
controlling shareholder of Kalish prior to its acquisition by the Company.
On July 27, 1998, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sencorp Systems, Inc.,
participated in the issueance of $7.0 million of Massachusetts Industrial
Finance Agency Multi-Mode Industrial Development Revenue Bonds 1998 Series A
(Bonds) to fund the planned expansion of the Company's facility in Hyannis,
Massachusetts. The Bonds mature July 1, 2023 and bear interest at a floating
rate determined weekly by Bank Boston, the bond remarketing agent. The weekly
rate is the lowest per annum rate which would allow the bonds to be sold at a
price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest. The
interest rate, which is not permitted to rise above 12%, was 3.65% as of June
27, 1999. The proceeds from the Bonds are held in trust until needed for the
expansion. Approximately $5.2 million
24
<PAGE>
has been received from the Bonds as of June 27, 1999. The Company was not in
compliance with certain financial covenants in one of the bond documents as of
June 27, 1999. In September 1999, the Company completed an amendment to the
relevant bond document, providing, among other things, for the permanent waiver
of the covenant defaults as of June 27, 1999, the establishment of revised
financial covenants and other requirements, including the furnishing of
additional collateral.
In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized purchases of up to 2
million shares of the Company's common stock. Through June 27, 1999, the Company
has repurchased 1,401,100 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $34,430.
The repurchased shares are being used for employee stock option programs. In
conjunction with the negotiations of the amended credit facility discussed
below, the Company has agreed that it will make no further repurchases of common
stock. As a result, the stock repurchase program was terminated in September
1999. No purchases of the Company's common stock were made under the repurchase
plan after June 27, 1999.
On July 21, 1997, the Company replaced the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Facilities Agreement and the foreign currency denominated term facility then
outstanding with a $175 million multi-currency revolving and term credit
facility. The multi-currency facility provides a $10 million Canadian term loan
and a $165 million revolving credit facility, which includes an approximate $80
million sub-limit for multi-currency borrowings in Pounds Sterling and Deutsche
Marks. Borrowings under the multi-currency facility bear interest at floating
rates based on the agent bank's base rate or LIBOR (at the option of DTI) plus a
specified percentage based on the ratio of funded debt to operating cash flow
and the ratings of DTI's corporate debt. At June 27, 1999, interest rates on the
multi-currency credit facility ranged from 3.21% to 7.75%. The agreement is
secured by the capital stock of each of the significant domestic subsidiaries
and 65% of the capital stock of each significant foreign subsidiary of DTI. In
conjunction with entering into the credit facility, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss in July 1997 of $1.2 million attributable to the write-off of
$2.0 million of unamortized deferred financing fees, net of related $0.8 million
tax benefit.
The Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants within the
credit agreement as of June 27, 1999. In September 1999 the Company completed an
amendment to the credit facility. The total line of credit as amended is $135
million, including a $125 million revolving credit facility and a $10 million
term credit facility. The facility will be increased to $140 million if the
Company meets certain operating cash flow targets during the first six months of
fiscal 2000. Borrowings under the amended credit facility will bear interest at
floating rates based on the prime rate plus 1 7/8% or LIBOR plus 3% (at the
option of DTI). The credit facility, as amended, will mature on April 2, 2001.
Borrowings under the amended credit facility will be secured by substantially
all of the assets of DTI and its domestic subsidiaries. The amendment to the
credit facility provides a permanent waiver of the events of default as of June
27, 1999 and establishes a revised set of financial and other covenants and
restrictions, including prohibitions of acquisitions and payment of dividends
without the consent of the lenders.
On June 12, 1997, the Company completed a private placement to institutional
investors of 1,400,000 7.16% Convertible Preferred Securities (liquidation
preference of $50 per Convertible Preferred Security). The placement was made
through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, DT Capital Trust (Trust), a
newly-formed Delaware business trust. The securities represent undivided
beneficial ownership interests in the Trust. The sole asset of the Trust is the
$72.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.16% Convertible Junior
Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Due 2012 which were acquired with
the proceeds from the offering as well as the sale of Common Securities to the
Company. The Company's obligations under the Convertible Junior Subordinated
Debentures, the Indenture pursuant to which they were issued, the Amended and
Restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the Guarantee of DTI, taken
together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by DTI of amounts due on
the Convertible Preferred Securities. The Convertible Preferred Securities are
convertible at the option of the holders at any time into the common stock of
DTI at an effective conversion price of $38.75 per share and are redeemable at
DTI's option after June 1, 2000 and mandatorily redeemable in 2012. The net
proceeds of the offering of approximately $67.8 million were used by DTI to
retire indebtedness. A registration statement relating to resales of such
Convertible Preferred Securities was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 2, 1997.
In conjunction with the negotiation of the amendment to the credit facility in
September 1999, the Company elected to defer interest payments on the
Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures. The amended credit facility requires
that such deferral continue until the maturity of the credit facility. As a
result, quarterly distributions on the Convertible Preferred Securities will
also be deferred and DTI will not declare or pay dividends on its common stock.
25
<PAGE>
During fiscal 1997, the Company also completed the public offering of 2.25
million shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $34.50 per share,
raising $73.5 million after deducting issuance costs. The proceeds received by
the Company from the offering were used to reduce indebtedness.
In July 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of certain of the net assets
of C. E. King, Ltd., a manufacturer of tablet counting, liquid filling and
capping equipment located in Chertsey, England. The purchase price of $2.1
million was primarily financed by borrowings under the Company's revolving
credit facility. As the transaction occurred subsequent to the end of fiscal
1999, the balance sheet and results of operations of the C. E. King assets are
excluded from the fiscal 1999 consolidated balance sheet and results of
operations of DTI. The pro forma effects of the acquisition of C. E. King assets
on the Company's fiscal 1999 financial position are not material.
Capital expenditures were $15.9 million in fiscal 1999. Management anticipates
that capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 will range from approximately $10
million to $12 million. This includes recurring replacement or refurbishment of
machinery and equipment and purchases to improve production methods or processes
or to expand manufacturing capabilities. Funding for capital expenditures is
expected to be provided by cash from operating activities and through the
Company's credit facilities.
The Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.02 per share on September 15,
1998, December 15, 1998, March 15, 1999 and June 15, 1999 to stockholders of
record on August 31, 1998, November 30, 1998, March 5, 1999, and May 31, 1999,
respectively. The future payment of quarterly dividends has been suspended.
Based on its ability to generate funds from operations and the availability of
funds under its current credit facilities, the Company believes it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its currently anticipated operating, debt
service and capital expenditure requirements.
BACKLOG
The Company's backlog is based upon customer purchase orders the Company
believes are firm. As of June 27, 1999, the Company had $180.0 million of orders
in backlog, which compares to a backlog of approximately $224.8 million as of
June 28, 1998.
Automation segment backlog was $138.4 million as of June 27, 1999, a decrease of
$46.0 million from the prior year. The reduced backlog reflects the continued
delays and deferrals of orders of automation systems from customers in various
industries, primarily automotive, and lower orders from a significant customer
in the electronics industry. Backlog for the Packaging segment increased $3.4
million, or 9.6%, to $38.1 million due primarily to an increase in the backlog
of plastics processing equipment.
The level of backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of the
future operating performance of the Company. Additionally, certain purchase
orders are subject to cancellation by the customer upon notification. Certain
orders are also subject to delays in completion and shipment at the request of
the customer. The Company believes most of the orders in the backlog will be
recognized as sales during fiscal 2000.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Company's primary foreign operations are conducted through its subsidiaries
in Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany. The functional currencies of these
subsidiaries are the currencies native to the specific country in which the
subsidiary is located. Foreign operations accounted for approximately $89.1
million, $91.9 million and $28.0 million of the Company's net sales in fiscal
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Earnings from operations for the Company's
foreign operations were $11.1 million, $8.8 million and $5.4 million in fiscal
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
MARKET RISK
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency
and interest rate risks. These exposures primarily relate to having investments
in assets denominated in foreign currencies and to changes in interest rates.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can impact operating results, including
net sales and operating expenses. The Company hedges certain of its foreign
currency exposure by borrowing in the local functional currency in countries
where the Company has significant
26
<PAGE>
assets denominated in foreign currencies. Such borrowings include Pounds
Sterling, Canadian dollars and Deutsche Marks in the United Kingdom, Canada and
Germany, respectively (see Liquidity and Capital Resources). The Company may
utilize derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts
and swap agreements, to manage certain of its foreign currency and interest rate
risks that it considers practical to do so. The Company holds no material
derivative financial instruments at June 27, 1999. The Company does not enter
into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Market risks that
the Company currently has elected not to hedge primarily relate to its
floating-rate debt.
SEASONALITY AND FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
In general, the Company's business is not subject to seasonal variations in
demand for its products. However, because orders for certain of the Company's
products can be several million dollars, a relatively limited number of orders
can constitute a meaningful percentage of the Company's revenue in any one
quarterly period. As a result, a relatively small reduction or delay in the
number of orders can have a material impact on the timing of recognition of the
Company's revenues. Certain of the Company's revenues are derived from fixed
price contracts. To the extent that original cost estimates prove to be
inaccurate, profitability from a particular contract may be adversely affected.
Gross margins may vary between comparable periods as a result of the variations
in profitability of contracts for large orders of special machines as well as
product mix between the various types of custom and proprietary equipment
manufactured by the Company. Accordingly, results of operations of the Company
for any particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for any subsequent quarter or related fiscal year.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" (SFAS 131). SFAS 130 requires the components of
comprehensive income to be disclosed in the financial statements. SFAS 131
requires that the Company report certain information if specific requirements
are met about operating segments of the Company including information about
services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. Required
disclosures have been made and prior years' information has been restated for
the impact of SFAS Statements 130 and 131.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities and
requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet measured at fair
value. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15,
1999. The Company is continuing to evaluate the provisions of SFAS 133 to
determine its impact on financial position and results of operations.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The costs of the planned year 2000 modifications and the dates by which the
Company expects to complete its plans are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources, third-party modification plans
and other factors. Specific factors that may cause differences between these
estimates and actual results include, without limitation, the availability and
cost of personnel trained in these areas, the ability to locate and correct all
relevant computer codes, changes in consulting fees and costs to remediate or
replace hardware and software, non-incremental costs resulting from redeployment
of internal resources, timely responses to and corrections by third parties such
as significant customers and suppliers, and similar uncertainties.

The Company utilizes software and related computer technologies essential to its
operations and to certain products that use two digits rather than four to
specify the year, which could result in a date recognition problem with the
transition to the year 2000. The Company has established and is implementing a
plan, primarily utilizing internal resources, to assess the potential impact of
the year 2000 on the Company's systems and operations and to implement solutions
to address this issue. The Company has completed the assessment and remediation
phases of its year 2000 plan, including a combination of repair and replacement
of affected systems. The Company is presently developing contingency plans for
various aspects of operations.
For substantially all of the Company's internal systems, this remediation was an
incidental consequence of the ongoing implementation of a new integrated core
business system. The testing phase is in process and should be completed by
October 1, 1999. Critical systems have been tested to be compliant.
The total incremental cost of this project, comprised primarily of the costs of
the implementation of a new integrated core business system includes costs of
approximately $3.5 million incurred in fiscal year 1998 and expenditures in
fiscal year 1999 of approximately $4.0 million which were included in the
Company's capital expenditures plan.
The Company's most likely worst case year 2000 scenario would be an interruption
in work or cash flow resulting from unanticipated problems encountered with the
information systems of the Company or of any of the significant third parties
with whom the Company does business. The Company believes that the risk of
significant business interruption due to unanticipated problems with its own
systems is low based on the progress of the Company's year 2000 plan to date.
The Company is developing contingency plans, which are anticipated to be
completed by November 30, 1999, in the event unforeseen internal disruptions
occur.
The Company believes its highest risk relates to significant suppliers or
customers failing to remediate their year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
Relating to its suppliers, the Company has identified and will continue to
identify alternative sources of supply of necessary materials. The risk relating
to the Company's customers includes delays in receipt of payment due to a
customer's unresolved year 2000 issues and to customer product migration due to
the Company's unresolved year 2000 issues. The Company's year 2000 plan and
contingency plans will help to mitigate the impact of customer product
migration. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience unanticipated costs and/or business interruptions due to year 2000
problems in its internal systems, its supply chain or from customer payment and
product migration issues, or that such costs and/or interruptions will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or
results of operation.

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of DT Industries, Inc., have
been prepared by management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. The statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on management's best
estimates and judgements.
Management has established and maintains a system of internal control designed
to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that the
financial records reflect the authorized transactions of the Company. The system
of internal control includes widely communicated statements of policies and
business practices that are designed to require all employees to maintain high
ethical standards in the conduct of Company affairs. The internal controls are
augmented by organizational arrangements that provide for appropriate delegation
of authority and division of responsibility.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants. As part of their audit of
the Company's fiscal 1999 consolidated financial statements,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP considered the Company's system of internal control
to the extent they deemed necessary to determine the nature, timing and extent
of their audit tests.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the Company's financial
reporting through its Audit and Finance Committee, which is composed entirely of
outside directors. The Audit and Finance Committee meets periodically with the
independent accountants and management. The independent accountants have direct
access to the Audit and Finance Committee, with and without the presence of
management representatives, to discuss the results of their audit work and their
comments on the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of
financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of DT Industries, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
DT Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 27, 1999 and June 28, 1998, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
fiscal years in the period ended June 27, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audits 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
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS
DT Industries, Inc. (DTI or the Company) is a leading designer, manufacturer and
integrator of automated production systems used to assemble, test or package
industrial and consumer products. The Company also produces precision metal
components, tools and dies for a broad range of applications. The Company
markets its products through two primary segments: Automation and Packaging. The
Company's operations are located in North America and Europe, but its products
are sold throughout the world.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the
financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles, and
require that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are described below.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The percentage of completion method of accounting is used by the Company to
recognize revenues and related costs. Under the percentage of completion method,
revenues are measured based on the ratio of engineering and manufacturing labor
hours incurred to date compared to total estimated engineering and manufacturing
labor hours or, for certain customer contracts, the ratio of total costs
incurred to date to total estimated costs. Any revisions in the estimated total
costs or values of the contracts during the course of the work are reflected
when the facts that require the revisions become known.
Costs and related expenses to manufacture the products are recorded as cost of
sales when the related revenue is recognized. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.
Cash deposits received from customers on contracts in progress are reflected as
customer advances in the consolidated balance sheet until the related revenue is
recognized in accordance with the procedures described above. Costs and
estimated earnings in excess of amounts billed on percentage of completion
contracts represent costs incurred and earnings recognized in excess of customer
advances received. Billings in excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings
on uncompleted contracts represent customer advances received in excess of costs
incurred and earnings recognized.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their
respective local currencies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been translated and adjusted to reflect U.S. dollars on the basis presented
below.
Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange
rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange
prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of
translating the consolidated amounts into U.S. dollars are accumulated in a
separate translation adjustment account, included in stockholders' equity.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital are translated at historical U.S.
dollar equivalents in effect at the date of acquisition. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are included in earnings currently. Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses were not material for all periods
presented.
35
<PAGE>
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three
months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company sells a majority of its machines to a wide range of manufacturing
companies. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral, although many customers pay deposits to
the Company prior to shipment of its products. The Company maintains reserves
for potential credit losses and historically such losses have been within
management's expectations. At June 27, 1999, the Company had no significant
concentrations of credit risk.
INVENTORIES
Domestic inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market, with the exception of raw material
inventories and the material component of work in process inventories at certain
subsidiaries, including foreign subsidiaries, totaling approximately $25,500
which are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). For various
tax and statutory reasons, inventories of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
stated at FIFO costs. The effects on financial position and results of
operations from applying the FIFO method for such material inventories and
inventories of foreign subsidiaries are immaterial. For other inventories
maintained on a LIFO basis, cost under the LIFO method approximates the FIFO
method. Inventories include the cost of materials, direct labor and
manufacturing overhead.
Obsolete or unsalable inventories are reflected at their estimated realizable
values.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range
from 3 to 39.5 years. Properties held under capital leases are recorded at the
present value of the non-cancelable lease payments over the term of the lease
and are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and renewals are charged to income as
incurred. Expenditures which improve an asset or extend its estimated useful
life are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in income.
GOODWILL
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in
business combinations (goodwill) is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Goodwill amortization charged to
income for the years ended June 27, 1999, June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997 was
approximately $5,031, $4,876 and $4,312, respectively. Accumulated amortization
at June 27, 1999 and June 28, 1998 was approximately $18,275 and $13,914,
respectively.
The carrying value of goodwill is assessed for recoverability by management
based on an analysis of future expected cash flows from the underlying
operations of the Company. Management believes there has been no impairment at
June 27, 1999.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition
caused by past operations, and that do not contribute to current or future
revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental
assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with
completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan
of action.
36
<PAGE>
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For purposes of financial reporting, the Company has determined the fair value
of financial instruments approximates book value at June 27, 1999, based on
terms currently available to the Company in financial markets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes its
domestic subsidiaries. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, the
current or deferred tax consequences of a transaction are measured by applying
the provisions of enacted laws to determine the amount of taxes payable
currently or in future years. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
128), which was adopted by the Company in fiscal 1998, requires the computation
of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number
of outstanding common shares during the period but does not consider dilution
for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS reflects the effects of
conversion of the Company's Convertible Preferred Securities and elimination of
the related dividends, net of applicable income taxes, plus dilutive potential
common shares consisting of certain shares subject to stock options and
contingent purchase price payable in common stock related to an acquired
business. The dilutive potential common shares arising from the effect of
outstanding stock options were computed using the treasury stock method, if
dilutive. Earnings per share for fiscal 1997 have been restated in accordance
with SFAS 128. See Note 13 for additional information.
EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25).
Under APB 25, the Company applies the intrinsic value method of accounting. For
employee stock options accounted for using the intrinsic value method, no
compensation expense is recognized because the options are granted with an
exercise price equal to the market value of the stock on the date of grant.
During fiscal 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), became effective for the
Company. SFAS 123 prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on
the fair value of options or stock awards determined on the date of grant.
However, SFAS 123 allows companies to continue to apply the valuation methods
set forth in APB 25. For companies that continue to apply the valuation methods
set forth in APB 25, SFAS 123 mandates certain pro forma disclosures as if the
fair value method had been utilized. See Note 8 for additional information.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130 requires the
components of comprehensive income to be disclosed in the financial statements.
Required disclosures for prior years have been restated in accordance with SFAS
130.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the last Sunday in June.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION
The following table summarizes certain information regarding the Company's
acquisitions during the past three years:
NET CASH
PURCHASE
DATE BUSINESS PRICE
- -------------- ------------------------------------- ----------
July 1996 Mid-West Automation Enterprises, Inc. $ 75,179
September 1996 Hansford Manufacturing Corporation 17,577
July 1997 Lucas Assembly and Test Systems 46,721
August 1998 Scheu & Kniss 10,352
During the past three fiscal years, the Company made four acquisitions which
have significantly expanded its product lines. These acquisitions were each
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and financed primarily
through bank borrowings, resulting in an increase in the Company's debt. Results
of operations of each acquired company have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase
price of each acquisition was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired,
based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of
purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was, in each
instance, recorded as goodwill.
In November 1998, DTI made an additional payment to the sellers of Kalish as
determined by formulae based on the earnings of the acquired business. The
additional purchase price specified within the Kalish agreement, based on
earnings from the acquisition date to June 28, 1998, amounted to $3,000 and was
paid through a combination of stock and cash. This additional purchase price was
recorded as goodwill. One of the directors of the Company was a controlling
shareholder of Kalish prior to its acquisition by the Company.
On May 1, 1998, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
assets of its non-core Knitting Elements division of Detroit Tool Metal Products
Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of DT Industries, Inc., for $9,375. The loss on
the sale was approximately $1,383. The loss, net of the estimated tax benefit,
was recorded in March 1998.
The following table sets forth pro forma information for DTI as if all of the
previously discussed acquisitions had taken place on June 29, 1998 and June 30,
1997, respectively. The effect of the sale of the Knitting Elements division is
immaterial. This information is unaudited and does not purport to represent
actual revenue, net income and earnings per share had the acquisitions actually
occurred on June 29, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

========== ==========
On July 21, 1997 the Company replaced its credit facilities with a $175,000
multi-currency revolving and term credit facility. The multi-currency facility
provides a $10,000 Canadian term loan and a $165,000 revolving credit facility,
which includes an approximate $80,000 sublimit for multi-currency borrowings in
Pounds Sterling and Deutsche Marks. Borrowings under the multi-currency facility
bear interest at floating rates based on the agent bank's base rate or LIBOR (at
the option of DTI), plus a specified percentage based on the ratio of funded
debt to operating cash flow and the ratings of DTI's corporate debt. At June 27,
1999, interest rates on the multi-currency facility ranged from 3.21% to 7.75%.
The facility requires commitment fees of 0.125% to 0.25% per annum (as
determined by the Company's ratio of funded debt to operating cash flow) payable
quarterly on any unused portion of the multi-currency facility. The agreement is
secured by the capital stock of each of the significant domestic subsidiaries
and 65% of the capital stock of each significant foreign subsidiary of DTI. In
conjunction with entering into the new credit facility, the Company recognized
an extraordinary loss in July 1997 of $1,200 attributable to the write-off of
$2,000 of unamortized deferred financing fees, net of related $800 tax benefit.
The Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants within the
credit agreement as of June 27, 1999. In September 1999 the Company completed an
amendment to the credit facility which provided a permanent waiver of the events
of default as of June 27, 1999 as more fully described in Note 17.
On July 27, 1998, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sencorp Systems, Inc.,
issued $7,000 of Massachusetts Industrial Finance Agency Multi-Mode Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds 1998 Series A (Bonds) to fund the planned expansion of
the Company's facility in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The Bonds mature July 1, 2023
and bear interest at a floating rate determined weekly by Bank Boston, the bond
remarketing agent. The weekly rate is the lowest per annum rate which would
allow the bonds to be sold at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal
plus accrued interest. The interest rate, which is not permitted to rise above
12%, was 3.65% as of June 27, 1999. The proceeds from the Bonds are held in
trust until needed for the expansion. Approximately $5,200 has been received
from the Bonds as of June 27, 1999. The Company was not in compliance with
certain financial covenants in one of the bond documents as of June 27, 1999. In
September 1999, the Company completed an amendment to the relevant bond
document, providing, among other things, for the permanent waiver of the
covenant defaults as of June 27, 1999, the establishment of revised financial
covenants and other requirements, including the furnishing of additional
collateral.
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized purchases of up to 2 million
shares of the Company's common stock. Through June 27, 1999, the Company has
repurchased 1,401,100 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $34,430,
including fiscal 1999 purchases of 528,100 shares at a total cost of $9,985. The
repurchased shares are being used for employee stock option programs. In
conjunction with the negotiation of the amended credit facility the Company has
agreed that it will make no further repurchases of common stock.
NOTE 5 - COMPANY-OBLIGATED, MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY DT CAPITAL TRUST HOLDING SOLELY CONVERTIBLE
JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES OF THE COMPANY (CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
SECURITIES)
On June 12, 1997, the Company completed a private placement to institutional
investors of 1,400,000 7.16% Convertible Preferred Securities (liquidation
preference of $50 per Convertible Preferred Security). The placement was made
through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, DT Capital Trust (Trust), a
39
<PAGE>
Delaware business trust. The securities represent undivided beneficial ownership
interests in the Trust. The sole asset of the Trust is the $72,165 aggregate
principal amount of the 7.16% Convertible Junior Subordinated Deferrable
Interest Debentures Due 2012 which were acquired with the proceeds from the
offering as well as the sale of common securities to the Company. The Company's
obligations under the Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Indenture
pursuant to which they were issued, the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust of the Trust and the Guarantee of DTI, taken together, constitute a full
and unconditional guarantee by DTI of amounts due on the Convertible Preferred
Securities. The Convertible Preferred Securities are convertible at the option
of the holders at any time into the common stock of DTI at an effective
conversion price of $38.75 per share and are redeemable at DTI's option after
June 1, 2000 and mandatorily redeemable in 2012. The net proceeds of the
offering of approximately $67,750 were used by DTI to retire indebtedness. A
registration statement relating to resales of such Convertible Preferred
Securities was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 2, 1997. In conjunction with the amendment of the credit facility, the
Company has elected to defer interest payments on the Convertible Junior
Subordinated Debentures. As a result, quarterly distributions on the Convertible
Preferred Securities will also be deferred.

NOTE 7 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company offers substantially all of its employees a retirement savings plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each employee may elect to
enter a written salary deferral agreement under which a maximum of 15% of their
salary, subject to aggregate limits required under the Internal Revenue Code,
may be contributed to the plan. The Company will match a percentage of the
employee's contribution up to a specified maximum percentage of their salary. In
addition, the Company generally is required to make a mandatory contribution and
may make a discretionary contribution from profits. During the fiscal years
ended June 27, 1999, June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997, the Company made
contributions of approximately $3,241, $3,023 and $2,377, respectively.
During fiscal 1999, the Company created a non-qualified deferred compensation
plan for certain executive employees. Each employee may elect to enter a written
salary deferral agreement under which a maximum of 15% of their salary, less any
amounts contributed under the 401(k) plan, may be contributed to the plan. The
Company will match a percentage of the employee's contribution up to a specified
maximum percentage of their salary. In addition, the Company generally is
required to make a mandatory retirement contribution.
41
<PAGE>
During fiscal 1999, the Company created a non-qualified deferred compensation
plan for its non-employee directors. Pursuant to this plan, each such director
is required to defer, until termination of service as a director, receipt of a
specified amount of his annual retainer fee by making a hypothetical investment
in DTI common stock equivalent units and may defer, until termination of service
as a director, receipt of all or a portion of his remaining compensation by
making hypothetical investments in a variety of investment alternatives
including DTI common stock equivalent units.
In connection with the acquisition of ATT in fiscal 1998, the Company recorded
an aggregate net liability of $417 representing the excess of the estimated
projected benefit obligation (PBO) over the fair value of plan assets relative
to the defined benefit plans for its international division. The following sets

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has three stock option plans: the 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan
(Employee Plan), the 1994 Directors Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (Directors
Plan) and the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP Plan).
The Employee Plan provides for the granting of options to the Company's
executive officers and key employees to purchase shares of common stock at
prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options
to purchase up to 900,000 shares of common stock may be granted under the
Employee Plan. Options outstanding at June 27, 1999 entitle the holders to
purchase common stock at prices ranging between $10.25 and $34.50. Options
outstanding become exercisable over five years from the date of grant. The right
to exercise the options expires ten years from the date of grant or earlier if
an option holder ceases to be employed by the Company.
The Directors Plan provides for the granting of options to the Company's
directors, who are not employees of the Company, to purchase shares of common
stock at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. Options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock may be granted
under the Directors Plan. Options outstanding at June 27, 1999 entitle the
holders to purchase common stock at prices ranging between $13.50 and $31.625
per share. Options outstanding become exercisable with respect to one-fourth of
the shares covered, thereby on each anniversary of the date of grant, commencing
on the second anniversary of such date. All options granted under the Directors
Plan expire ten years from the date of grant or earlier if a director leaves the
board of directors of the Company.
The LTIP Plan provides for the granting of four types of awards on a stand
alone, combination, or a tandem basis, specifically, nonqualified stock options,
incentive stock options, restricted shares and performance stock awards. The
LTIP Plan provides for the granting of up to 600,000 shares of common stock,
provided that the total number of shares with respect to which awards are
granted in any one year may not exceed 100,000 shares to any individual
employee, and the total number of shares with respect to which grants of
restricted stock and performance stock awards are made in any year shall not
exceed 50,000 shares to any individual employee. Grants to date consist only of
non-qualified stock options entitling the holders to purchase common stock at
prices ranging between $15.875 and $37.50. The exercise price of such
non-qualified stock options is equal to the fair market value of the stock on
the date of the grant. Options outstanding become exercisable over five years
from the date of grant. The right to exercise the options expires ten years from
the date of grant or earlier if an option holder ceases to be employed by the
Company.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of June 27, 1999,
June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997, and changes during the years then ended are

PRO FORMA DISCLOSURES
The Company applies APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
the stock options because the options were granted with an exercise price equal
to the stock price on the date of grant. Had compensation costs for the
Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value of the
options on the grant dates consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS
123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to
the pro forma amounts indicated below. Due to the adoption of the methodology
prescribed by SFAS 123, the pro forma results shown below only reflect the
impact of stock option awards granted in fiscal 1999 and 1998. Because future
stock option awards may be granted, the pro forma impact for fiscal 1999 and
1998 is not necessarily indicative of the impact in future years.

Pro forma $ (0.33) $ 2.30
The fair value of the options granted (which is amortized over the option
vesting period in determining the pro forma impact), is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes multiple option-pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions:

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended June
27, 1999 and June 28, 1998 was $6.93 and $12.74 per share, respectively.
NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTIES
In prior years, the Company issued 443,250 shares of the Company's common stock
at prices which approximated estimated fair value ranging from $1.26 to $2.57
per share to members of management under agreements which allow management to
pay for the stock with cash and/or recourse notes receivable to the Company. The
recourse notes receivable were issued with interest rates ranging from 5.84% to
6.28% and become due between September 2003 and January 2004. The notes are
reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 16 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS
131), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
effective June 27, 1999. SFAS 131 requires disclosure of segment information on
the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and
deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Accordingly, segment information
for fiscal 1998 and 1997 has been restated to conform with the requirements of
SFAS 131.
The Company has two primary reportable segments: Automation and Packaging. The
operations of the Company's Automation segment design and build integrated
systems for the assembly, test and handling of discrete products. The Packaging
segment manufactures tablet processing, counting and liquid filling systems and
plastics processing equipment. The Company's reportable segments are
distinguished based on the nature of products manufactured and sold and types of
customers. The Company's other businesses produce custom and precision-stamped
steel and aluminum components through its stamping and fabrication operations.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to reportable segments
primarily based on operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable
segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant policies.
Intersegment sales are not significant.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In July 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets of C.
E. King, Ltd. a manufacturer of tablet counting, liquid filling and capping
equipment located in Chertsey, England. The purchase price of $2,100 was
primarily financed by borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
As the transaction occurred subsequent to the end of fiscal 1999, the balance
sheet and results of operations of C. E. King are excluded from the fiscal 1999
consolidated balance sheet and results of operations of DTI. The pro forma
effects of the C. E. King acquisition on the Company's fiscal 1999 financial
position are not material.
In September 1999, the Company completed an amendment to its $175,000 credit
facility. The total line of credit as amended is $135,000, including a $125,000
revolving credit facility and a $10,000 term credit facility. The facility will
be increased to $140,000 if the Company meets certain operating cash flow
targets during the first six months of fiscal 2000. Borrowings under the
amendment to the credit facility will bear interest at floating rates based on
the prime rate plus 1 7/8% or LIBOR plus 3% (at the option of DTI). The credit
facility, as amended, will mature on April 2, 2001. Borrowings under the credit
facility will be secured by substantially all of the assets of DTI and its
domestic subsidiaries. The amendment to the credit facility provides a permanent
waiver of the events of default as of June 27, 1999 and establishes a revised
set of financial and other covenants and restrictions.
In conjunction with the negotiation of the amendment to the credit facility, the
Company in September 1999 elected to defer interest payments on the Convertible
Junior Subordinated Debentures described in Note 5. As a result, quarterly
distributions on the Convertible Preferred Securities will also be deferred and
DTI will not declare or pay dividends on its common stock.

substitution, for him and in his name, place and stead, in any and all

DT INDUSTRIES, INC.
DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
1. Purpose. The purpose of the DT Industries Directors' Deferred Compensation
Plan (the "Plan") is to provide non-employee Directors of DT Industries,
Inc. (the "Company") the opportunity to defer receipt of compensation
earned as a Director to a date following termination of such service. The
provision of such an opportunity is designed to aid the Company in
attracting and retaining as members of its Board of Directors persons whose
abilities, experience and judgement can contribute to the Company's well
being.
2. Effective Date. The original effective date of the Plan is January 1, 1999.
3. Eligibility. Each Director of the Company who is not also an Employee of
the Company or any related Company shall participate in the Plan.
4. Deferred Compensation Account. A deferred compensation account shall be
established for each Director who is a participant in the Plan.
5. Amount of Deferral. Each participant shall (effective January 1, 1999) be
required to defer receipt of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) of his/her
annual retainer fee for serving on the Board of Directors (the "Mandatory
Deferral"). In addition, a participant may elect to defer receipt of all or
a specified part of any remaining compensation payable to the participant
for serving on the Board of Directors or for serving on committees of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Elective Deferral"). An amount
equal to all deferred compensation will be credited to the participants'
deferred compensation account as the first business day of January, April,
July and October while this Plan is in effect (the "Payment Date").
6. Deferred Compensation Account - Hypothetical Investment Options
(a) All Mandatory Deferrals shall be credited to the participant's
deferred compensation account, converted into equivalent units of DT
Industries, Inc. Common Stock ("Company Stock") and adjusted as if the
compensation deferred had been invested in Company Stock as of the
Payment Date, until the date of final payment pursuant to Section 9
hereof ("Company Stock Equivalent Units"). Elective Deferrals shall be
credited to the participant's deferred compensation account and
converted into such combination of Company Stock Equivalent Units and
other hypothetical investment alternatives made available to the
Company's employees under its 401(k) plan as selected by the
participant from time to time.
(b) The number of Company Stock Equivalent Units shall be determined by
dividing the amount of the compensation to be converted into Company
Stock Equivalent Units by the closing price of the
1
<PAGE>
Company Stock on the Payment Date, as reported by the Wall Street
Journal.
The number of Company Stock Equivalent Units included in a
participant's deferred compensation account, and the value of other
hypothetical investment alternatives selected by the participant,
shall be adjusted to reflect dividends and the value of such account
shall be adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in market value
which would have resulted had funds equal to the balance of
participant's deferred compensation account had been invested in
Company Stock or other hypothetical investment alternatives, as the
case may be.
(c) With respect to Company Stock Equivalent Units in a deferred
compensation account, the Company shall credit such account on each
dividend payment date declared with respect to the Company's Stock, a
number of Company Stock Equivalent Units equal to: (i) the product of
(y) the dividend per share of the Company's Stock which is payable as
of the dividend payment date, multiplied by (z) the number of Company
Stock Equivalent Units credited to such account as of the applicable
dividend record date, divided by (ii) the closing market price of the
Company Stock on the dividend payment date as reported by the Wall
Street Journal. Fractional Company Stock Equivalent Units will be
computed to three decimal places and shall be carried forward, and
fractional dividend equivalent units shall be payable thereon.
7. Time of Election of Deferral. Except as to Mandatory Deferrals, which shall
at all times be held in Company Stock Equivalent Units, a participant may
change (i) the amount of compensation deferred and/or (ii) the option
elected under Section 6 with respect to his/her account and deferrals for
subsequent years, once annually in December by completing forms provided by
the Company for that purpose. Any such change shall become effective on
January 1 of the following year. If a participant elects to change his/her
investment options available under Section 6, the participant's account
shall be valued as of December 31 with that value being entered into
his/her account under the new investment options as of the following
January 1 (except if such change is to Company Stock Equivalent Units, the
first trading day following such January 1 shall be used).
8. Value of Deferred Compensation Account. The value of each participant's
deferred compensation account shall, as the case may be, include
compensation deferred, any adjustments for dividends, and increases or
decreases in the market value of Company Stock and the participant's
hypothetical investment selections, pursuant to the election made under
Section 6 or as otherwise required under the Plan. If the Company Stock
does not trade on any date a calculation of Common Stock Equivalent Units
is to be made under the Plan, the next preceding date on which such stock
was traded shall be utilized.
9. Payment of Deferred Compensation. Upon a participant's completion of
service as a member of the Board of Directors (the "Completion Date"), each
participant (or in the event of the participant's death, the named
beneficiary or
2
<PAGE>
his/her estate) shall be entitled to receive in cash in a lump sum the
value of his/her deferred compensation account as of the Completion Date,
unless such participant has elected, pursuant to the provisions of Section
10 below, to further defer payment of his/her deferred compensation account
beyond such Completion Date. Company Stock Equivalent Units shall be valued
at the closing market price of the Company's Stock on such date as reported
by the Wall Street Journal. No withdrawal may be made from the
participant's deferred compensation account prior to the Completion Date.
The value of a participant's deferred compensation account shall, subject
to any further election made pursuant to Section 10 below, be paid as soon
as practicable following the Completion Date or death.
10. Further Deferral Election. In addition to the deferral elections referred
to above, a participant may also elect (in the manner provided for below)
to continue to defer the receipt of his/her deferred compensation account
beyond his/her Completion Date. The value of a participant's account on
his/her Completion Date may be deferred for up to 10 taxable years
following such Completion Date. If installments are elected, the first
installment payment may be made immediately at the Completion Date or be
deferred for up to 10 taxable years. Installment payments will be made
annually (in the manner described below) in approximately equal amounts
(i.e. the balance of the account). The minimum number of installments is
two and the maximum number is 10 provided, however, that all payments shall
be made within ten (10) years of the Completion Date. A participant may
elect to defer up to 100% of the value of his/her account at the Completion
Date; or any percentage increment less than that. All deferred or
installment payments shall be made in cash. The following additional rules
shall apply:
(a) Immediate Lump Sum Payment. The participant will receive the full
value of his/her account in the calendar month of his/her Completion
Date.
(b) Deferred Lump Sum Payment. The participant will receive the full value
of his/her account on or about January 15 of the year he/she elects to
receive payment in.
(c) Immediate Commencement of Installments. The participant will receive
the first installment in the calendar month of his/her Completion
Date. All subsequent installments on or about January 15 of each year.
(d) Deferred Commencement of Installments. The participant will receive
the first and all subsequent installments on or about January 15 of
each year.
(e) In the event of death of a participant, the Company will make payments
in full of the balance of an account, as soon as administratively
practical in a single lump sum payment to the designated beneficiary
or his/her estate.
(f) In making any payment due on or about January 15, the value of a
participant's account on the first trading day of such month shall be
utilized. Deferred compensation account values shall be frozen as of
the
3
<PAGE>
Completion Date. An election by a participant to defer payment or
elect installments of all or a part of his/her deferred compensation
account beyond the Completion Date must be made no later than twelve
(12) months prior to such Completion Date. Any such election may be
revised or revoked up to twelve (12) months prior to such Completion
Date; after such time any election may not be revoked or otherwise
revised.
11. Designation of Beneficiary. Each participant may, from time to time, by
writing filed with the Secretary of the Company, designate any legal or
natural person or persons (who may be designated contingently or
successively) to whom payments of a participant's deferred compensation
account are to be made if a participant dies prior to the receipt of
payment of such account. A beneficiary designation will be effective only
if the signed form is filed with the Secretary of the Company while the
participant is alive and will cancel all beneficiary designation forms
filed earlier. If a participant fails to designate a beneficiary as
provided above, or if all designated beneficiaries die before the
participant or before complete payment of the deferred compensation
account, such account shall be paid to the estate of the last to die of the
participant and designated beneficiaries as soon as practicable after such
death.
12. Participant's Rights Unsecured. The right of any participant to receive
payment under the provisions of the Plan shall be an unsecured claim
against the general assets of the Company, and no provisions contained in
the Plan shall be construed to give any participant or beneficiary at any
time a security interest in any deferred compensation account or any other
asset in trust with the Company for the benefit of an participant or
beneficiary. The Company may insure the lives of participants to protect
itself from inordinate costs in the operation of the Plan. The Company will
select the insurance carrier and will be the sole applicant, owner and
beneficiary of these policies. Furthermore, the Company may establish a
"rabbi trust" for the purpose of protecting benefit payments from the Plan.
In such event, the trust will be the owner and beneficiary of any insurance
policies covering the lives of participants.
13. Statement of Account. A statement will be sent to participants as soon as
practical following the end of each fiscal quarter as to the value of
his/her deferred compensation account as of the last day of such fiscal
quarter.
14. Assignability. No right to receive payments hereunder shall be transferable
or assignable by a participant or a beneficiary, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.
15. Administration of the Plan. the Plan shall be administered by a Committee
comprised of the employee members of the Company's Board of Directors. The
Committee shall act by vote or written consent of a majority of its
members.
4
<PAGE>
16. Amendment or Termination of Plan. This Plan at any time or from time to
time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board of Directors of the
Company. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the
consent of a participant, adversely affect such participant's accruals in
his deferred compensation accounts.
17. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the Laws of the State of Missouri.

in Section 6 of this Plan.
f. Employee: An employee of the Employer selected by the Employer

<PAGE>
g. Employee Contributions. The contributions made by the Employee
and credited to the Employee's Deferred Compensation Account under Section 3
hereof. Such amounts may also be referred to herein as "Employee Elective
Deferrals."
h. Employer: The terms "Employer" and "Company" shall mean DT
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors and assigns.
i. Employer Contributions. The amounts credited by the Employer to
an Employee's Deferred Compensation Account under Section 4 hereof.

amended.
l. Participant: The term "Participant" shall have the same
definition herein as the term "Employee."
m. Participant Agreement. A document (in such form as the Company
may specify from time to time) providing for the deferral of a portion of an
Employee's Compensation, and such other matters as are set forth therein, which
may include a Beneficiary Designation. Herein the term "Participation Agreement"
shall have the same meaning as the term "Participant Agreement."
n. Plan: This DT Industries, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Plan.
o. Plan Year: The calendar year.
3. Employee Elective Deferrals. As a condition to participating in this
Plan, a Participant shall execute and file with the Employer, prior to the
Effective Date (or the date on which the individual becomes a Participant), a
Participant Agreement, in substantially the form
3
<PAGE>
of Exhibit A attached hereto (as may be amended from time to time by the
Employer), designating the portion of his or her Compensation which shall be
deferred. The Employer may designate the maximum and minimum amounts and types
of compensation that may be deferred from time to time. No amount shall be
deferred from any amount which was earned or paid before the Participant
executed the Participant Agreement.
a. Maximum Deferral Amounts. The maximum amount that may be deferred
by any Employee for any Plan Year shall be the difference between (i) the
maximum amount of the Employee's Compensation that could be deferred by an
employee under a plan described in Section 401(k) of the code (currently 15% of
Compensation) without regard to any restrictions or limitations under Section
401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code (or any similar restrictions imposed as designated
by the Employer) and (ii) the amount actually deferred by the Employee under the
Employer's 401(k) Plan. For example, if the Employee's Compensation is $200,000,
the maximum percentage of compensation that can be deferred under a 401(k) plan
is 15%, and the amount deferred by the Employee under the Employer's 401(k) Plan
is $8,000, the maximum amount that the Employee could elect to defer under this
Plan for such year would be $22,000 [($200,000 x 15%) - $8,000 = $22,000].
b. Continuation or Change of Deferral Amount. The Participant may
change the amount deferred, as permitted by the Employer from time to time, by
the execution of a subsequent written agreement or amendment, on a form as
permitted by the Employer, provided that any such change shall not be effective
for any amounts earned prior to such amendment or new agreement. The dates on
which a Participant may change deferral percentages shall be the same as the
dates on which the Participant may change deferral percentages under the
Employer's 401(k) Plan in which the Participant is enrolled. The Employer shall
allow such a
4
<PAGE>
change at least annually. Any such change shall be effective upon such
execution, or if applicable, a future date specified by such agreement or
amendment. The same amount shall continue to be deferred until the Employee and
the Employer execute such an amendment or new agreement.
c. New Participants. If an individual becomes a Participant under
this Plan after the beginning of a year, the Participant shall execute and file
with the Employer, prior to becoming a Participant in this Plan, a Participant
Agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (or such other
form as the Employer may designate from time to time) designating the portion of
his or her Compensation for such year which shall be deferred.
4. Employer Contributions. The Employer shall credit to a Participant's
Deferred Compensation Account, quarterly, an amount equal to the difference
between (i) the amount of matching contributions that the Employer would have
made on behalf of the Employee in the absence of the restrictions set forth in
Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (and any similar restrictions that the
Employer may determine) based on the percentage of compensation used by the
Employer in making matching contributions and the Employee Contributions for
such quarter under Section 3 hereof, and (ii) the amount of matching
contributions that the Employer actually made on behalf of the Employee to the
Employer's 401(k) Plan for such quarter. For example, if the Employee's
Compensation is $200,000, the Employer's matching contribution is 3% of
Compensation, the amount contributed by the Employer to the Employer's 401(k)
Plan on behalf of the Employee was $4,800 ($160,000 x 3% = $4,800), and the
Employee made the maximum contribution permitted under Section 3 hereof, the
Employer's Contribution under this Section 4 for such year would be $1,200
[($200,000 x 3%) - $4,800 = $1,200], or $300 per quarter. A participant must be
an active employee of the Employer on the last day of the quarter in order for
5
<PAGE>
the Employer to be required to credit such amount, except for those Participants
who retire during the quarter, become totally disabled or deceased during the
quarter, or who separate involuntarily for reasons other than cause during the
quarter. The Employer shall have complete and absolute discretion in determining
whether any termination was for "cause."
5. Earnings or Investment Amounts. In addition to the other amounts
credited to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, the employer shall
also credit (or reduce) an Employee's Deferred Compensation Account by an amount
equal to the amount that would have been earned (or lost) if the amounts
deferred hereunder were invested in approximately the same manner as the
Employee's account balance under the Employer's 401(k) Plan (which is invested
pursuant to the Employee's directions). Such amounts shall be referred to herein
as the "Earnings Amounts" and shall be credited to (or deducted from) the
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account at least annually (or more
frequently at the discretion of the Employer). Earnings shall be credited on (or
deducted from) a Deferred Compensation Account until all payments with respect
to such account have been made hereunder. The Employer shall not be liable or
otherwise responsible for any decrease in a Participant's Deferred Compensation
Account because of the investment performance of the designated assets. The
Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion may (or may not) acquire any
investment product or any other instrument or otherwise invest any amount to
provide the funds from which it can satisfy its obligations to make benefit
payments under this Plan. To the extent that a Participant or his or her
Beneficiary acquires a right to receive payments from the Employer under the
provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Employer.
6
<PAGE>
6. Deferred Compensation Account. The Employee Elective Deferrals, the
Employer Contributions and the Earnings Amounts shall be credited to a deferred
compensation bookkeeping account maintained by the Employer for each Participant
as calculated by the Employer (herein the "Deferred Compensation Account"). If
the Earnings Amount is a loss, it shall be deducted from the Deferred
Compensation Account.
7. Vesting of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account.
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, an Employee shall not be entitled
to any benefits hereunder until such amounts are vested under this Section 7.
The Employee's interest in an amount based on the Deferred Compensation Account
maintained for him or her shall vest in the same manner as amounts credited for
the Participant's benefits under the Employer's 401(k) Plan in which the
Employee is a participant, provided that in the event of a "Change of Control"
(as defined herein), the Participant shall be fully vested in the Employer
Contributions and Earnings Amounts. For purposes of this Section 7, the term
"Change of Control" shall mean the purchase or other acquisition by any person,
entity or group of persons, within the meaning of section 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"), or any comparable successor provisions,
of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Act) of 30 percent or more of either the outstanding shares of common stock or
the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally, or the approval by the stockholders of the Company
of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in each case, with respect to
which persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more
than 50 percent of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated the Company's
then outstanding securities,
7
<PAGE>
or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets.
8. Benefit Payments.
a. Benefits Paid Upon Termination of Employment. When the Employee
retires from the Company, the Company shall pay to the Employee an amount equal
to his or her Vested Deferred Compensation Account, in annual installments over
a period of fifteen (15) years, with each payment equal to the amount of the
Employee's remaining Vested Deferred Compensation Account divided by the
remaining number of installment payments (including the installment payment
currently being made), provided that at any time the Company shall have the
option of paying the Employee a lump-sum amount equal to his or her remaining
Deferred Compensation Account, and thereafter the Company shall have no further
obligation hereunder with respect to such Employee and his or her Beneficiaries.
An Employee "retires from the Company" under this Plan if he or she terminates
employment after five (5) years of service as a Participant under this Plan or
after attaining age fifty-five (55), whichever occurs later. If the Employee
dies before receiving all such retirement payments, the remaining payments shall
be made to the Employee's Beneficiary. If the Employee voluntarily or
involuntarily terminates employment with the Company prior to retirement, an
amount equal to his or her Vested Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to
the Employee in a lump sum within 90 days of termination (upon the death of the
Employee prior to retirement, such lump sum shall be paid to the Employee's
Beneficiary).
b. Payment Only from Employer Assets. Any payment of benefits to a
Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall be made from assets which shall
continue, for all purposes, to be a part of the general assets of the Employer;
no person shall have or acquire any
8
<PAGE>
interest in such assets by virtue of the provisions of this Plan. To the extent
that a Participant or his or her Beneficiary acquires a right to receive
payments from the Employer under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no
greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer. The
Employee shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company
and the provisions hereof constitute a mere promise by the Company to make
benefit payments in the future.
c. Beneficiaries. A Participant may designate his or her Beneficiary
or Beneficiaries to receive the amounts as provided herein after his or her
death by delivering a writing, in substantially the form as set forth in the
Participation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (or in such other form as
the Company may designate from time to time). In the absence of such a
designation, the Employer shall pay any such amount to the Participant's estate.
d. No Trust. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken
pursuant to its provisions shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of
any kind. The Company may create a trust by a separate document to assist it in
making payments hereunder, provided that any such trust shall not cause this
Plan to be considered "funded" for purposes of the Code or ERISA. It is the
intention of the parties that this arrangement shall be unfunded for tax
purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
9. Administration of the Plan and Claims Procedure.
a. Determinations. The Employer, or a committee or other group
designated by the Employer, shall make all determinations as to rights to
benefits under this Plan. The Employer (or its
9
<PAGE>
designee) shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe and
administer this Plan. The interpretation and construction of this Plan by the
Employer (or its designee), and any action taken pursuant thereto, shall be
binding and conclusive upon all parties in interest.
b. Reports. The Employer shall provide each Participant with a
statement reflecting the amount of the Participant's Deferred Compensation
Account at least annually.
c. No Liability. No employee, agent, officer or director of the
Employer (or its designee) shall, in any event, be liable to any person for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the interpretation,
construction or administration of this Plan, so long as such action or omission
to act is made in good faith.
d. Designation of Board of Directors. The Employer hereby designates
the Employer's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") to administer this
Plan. The Board of Directors shall have all the authority as is granted to the
Employer under the terms of this Plan for the administration of this Plan in
accordance with its terms and in ruling on such questions arising out of the
administration, interpretation and application of the Plan. The Board of
Directors may approve or disapprove all documents in connection herewith, and
make all other determinations hereunder. Members of the Board of Directors may
participate in the Plan, but no member of the Board of Directors shall be
entitled to make decisions which relate solely to his or her own participation.
The Employer reserves the right to designate a different group or committee to
administer this Plan from time to time, or to make any determinations directly
at any time. If no such committee is designated at any time, such functions, as
appropriate, may be conducted by the Employer's Board of Directors or other
governing body. The Employer's Board of Directors or other governing body hereby
reserves the right to revoke such designation at any time and to make other
designations (and to revoke such designations) at any time.
10
<PAGE>
e. Claims Procedure. The following provisions are hereby made a part
of this Plan and are intended to meet the requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"):
(1) The named fiduciary under this Plan is the Employer.
(2) This Plan is unfunded. The Participants shall defer certain
amounts under this Plan, but all benefits shall be paid from the Employer's
general assets which at all times shall remain subject to the claims of the
Employer's general creditors.
(3) Direct payment by the Employer is the basis of payment of
benefits under this Plan.
(4) The following claims procedures shall apply for purposes of this
Plan. Any and all persons presenting claims hereunder (individually or
collectively, "Claimant") must follow these procedures.
(a) For claims procedure purposes, the "Claims Manager" shall be
the chairperson of the Board of Directors (or the chairperson of any
other group or committee designated by the Employer to administer the
Plan, or a designated member of the Board of Directors or other
governing body of the Employer).
(b) A Claimant shall make a claim for benefits hereunder by
submitting a written claim to the Employer (or its designee) in
accordance with any procedures and guidelines established from time to
time by the Employer, and in the absence of any specific procedures or
guidelines shall be delivered in the manner set forth herein for
providing notice to the Employer under this Plan. The Claims Manager
shall decide whether the claim shall be allowed, and the following
claims procedure shall apply:
11
<PAGE>
(i) If for any reason a claim for benefits under this Plan
is denied by the Claims Manager, the Claims Manager shall deliver
to the Claimant a written explanation setting forth: the specific
reason or reasons for the denial; specific references to
pertinent Plan provisions; a description of any additional
material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the
claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken if the Claimant wishes to submit his or her claim for
review, all written in a manner calculated to be understood by
the Claimant. For this purpose:
(A) The Claimant's claim shall be deemed filed when
delivered in writing as provided herein.
(B) The Claims Manager's explanation shall be in
writing delivered to the Claimant within 90 days of the date
the claim is filed, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim. If such an
extension of time for processing is required, written notice
of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to
the termination of the initial 90 days from the end of such
initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the
special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
date by which the Claims Manager expects to render the final
decision.
12
<PAGE>
(ii) The Claimant shall have 60 days following his or her
receipt of the denial of the claim to file with the Claims
Manager a written request for review of the denial. For such
review, the Claimant or his or her representative may review
pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing.
(iii) On review, a decision shall be made within 60 days
after the Claims Manager's receipt of the request for review,
unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as
possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the
request for review. If such an extension of time for review is
required because of special circumstances, written notice of the
extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the
commencement of the extension. The decision on review shall be in
writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision,
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant,
as well as specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions
on which the decision is based. If the decision on review is not
furnished within such time, the claim shall be deemed denied on
review. The Claims Manager may designate an appropriate person to
review the claim, who may be a member of the Employer's Board of
Directors or other governing body, or a member of any other group
or committee designated hereunder.
10. Non-Assignability of Benefits. Neither any Participant nor any
Beneficiary under this Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign,
anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any part or all of the amounts
payable hereunder. Such amounts shall not be subject to seizure by any creditor
of a Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder, by a proceeding at law or in
equity, nor transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy or
insolvency of any Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder. Any such attempted
assignment or transfer shall be
13
<PAGE>
void and shall terminate the Participant's participation in this Plan, and the
Employer shall thereupon have no further liability hereunder with respect to
such Participant and his or her Beneficiary.
11. Amendment. The Employer may amend, alter, modify or terminate this
Plan on a prospective basis at any time, provided that no such termination shall
adversely affect a Participant's entitlement to benefits attributable to amounts
credited to his or her Deferred Compensation Account and which are vested (as
provided herein) prior to the termination of this Plan. This Plan may be
amended, altered or modified on a retroactive basis by a written agreement
signed by the Employer and the impacted Participant(s).
12. Impact on Other Benefits. Except as otherwise required by the Code or
any other applicable law, this Plan and the benefits provided herein are in
addition to all other benefits which may be provided by the Employer to the
Participants from time to time, and shall not reduce, replace or otherwise cause
any reduction, in any manner, with regard to any of such other benefits,
provided that the amounts otherwise payable to the Participant shall each year
be reduced by his or her respective Employee Contributions..
13. Notices. Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be
given under the provisions of this Plan by the Employer or any Participant or
Beneficiary shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the person or entity
giving or making the same. If such notice, consent or demand is mailed, it shall
be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the principal office of the Employer, or if to a Participant or
Beneficiary, to such individual or entity's last known address as shown on the
records of the Employer. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of
notice, consent or demand.
14
<PAGE>
14. Tax Withholding. The Employer shall have the right to deduct from all
payments made under this Plan any federal, state or local taxes required to be
withheld on such payments.
15. No Guarantee of Continued Employment. Nothing herein shall be
interpreted to guarantee an Employee continued employment with the Company, and
nothing herein shall be interpreted to impact the ability of the Employer to
terminate the employment of any Participant at any time.
16. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its
conflict of law rules.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has executed and adopted this Plan as of
the Effective Date.
