1.   Unaudited consolidated financial statements

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DT
     Industries, Inc. (DTI or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with
     the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information
     and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
     complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the
     information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
     adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
     for the periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full
     year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
     included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal
     year ended June 27, 1999.

2.   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.

     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 in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

3.   Acquisitions

     In August 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets
     of C. E. King, Ltd. (King), 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. The purchase price has been
     preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities
     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 has
     been recorded as goodwill. The accompanying consolidated financial
     statements include the results of C. E. King from the date of acquisition.

     In August 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net assets
     of Scheu & Kniss, Inc. (S&K). See the consolidated financial statements and
     notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the
     fiscal year ended June 27, 1999 for additional information relating to this
     acquisition.

     The pro forma effects of the above acquisitions are not material to the
     Company's financial results for the three months ended September 26, 1999
     and September 27, 1998.

                                                          $119,897     $103,659
                                                          ========     ========

     In September 1999, the Company completed an amendment to its $175,000
     credit facility. The credit facility, as amended, is $135,000, including a
     $125,000 revolving credit facility and a $10,000 term credit facility. The
     revolving credit 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 amended credit facility bear interest at
     floating rates based on the prime rate plus 1 7/8% or LIBOR plus 3% (at the
     option of DTI). The amended credit facility matures April 2, 2001.
     Borrowings under the amended credit facility are now secured by
     substantially all of the assets of DTI and its domestic subsidiaries. The
     amendment to the credit facility established a revised set of financial and
     other covenants and restrictions, including prohibitions of acquisitions
     and payment of dividends without the consent of the lenders. The Company
     was in compliance with the amended credit facility at September 26, 1999.
     Total borrowing availability under the amended credit facility as of
     September 26, 1999 was $19,200.

     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
     expansion of the Company's facility in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The Bonds
     mature July 1, 2023 and require an annual sinking fund payment to be made
     each July 1. The bonds 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 3.90% as of September 26,
     1999. The proceeds from the Bonds are held in trust until needed for the
     expansion. Approximately $5,300 has been received from the Bonds as of
     September 26, 1999.

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 newly-formed 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 of the Company, which were acquired by the Trust with the proceeds
     from the offering as well as the sale of Common Securities of the Trust 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, are redeemable at DTI's option after June 1,
     2000 and are 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 the 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 elected to defer interest payments on the Convertible
     Junior Subordinated Debentures. As a result, quarterly distributions on the
     Convertible Preferred Securities have also been deferred and DTI will not
     declare or pay dividends on its common stock.

6.   Earnings (loss) per share

     The following represents reconciliations of net income (loss) and weighted
     average shares outstanding between basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
     share for the three months ended September 26, 1999 and September 27, 1998.
     The convertible preferred securities were antidilutive for the three months
     ended September 26, 1999 and have been excluded from the computation of
     diluted earnings (loss) per share (share data in thousands).

            In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
            $2,500 associated with management changes and workforce reductions,
            idle facility costs and non-cash asset writedowns. The breakdown of

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Page 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the
consolidated operating results and financial condition of DT Industries, Inc.
(DTI or the Company) for the three months ended September 26, 1999 compared to
the three months ended September 27, 1998. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1999.

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.

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 margins may vary in a given period 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 margins.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded $10.5 million of
special charges related to cost, performance and collection issues on a few
automation projects. Although there has been no significant developments with
these projects, the Company remains comfortable with the project-related charges
and does not anticipate any additional charges related to these projects.

Certain information contained in this report, particularly the information
appearing under the headings "Results of Operations", "Liquidity and Capital
Resources", "Backlog", "Market Risk" and "Year 2000 Compliance" includes
forward-looking statements. These statements, comprising all statements which
are not historical, are based upon the Company's interpretation of what it
believes are significant factors affecting its businesses, including many
assumptions regarding future events, and are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. References to "opportunities", "growth
potential", "objectives" and "goals", the words "anticipate", "believe",
"estimate", "expect", and similar expressions used herein indicate
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including economic downturns in industries or markets served, delays or
cancellations of customer orders, delays in shipping dates of products, excess
product warranty expenses, collectability of past due customer receivables,
significant cost overruns on certain projects, significant restructuring or
other special, non-recurring charges, foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations, delays in achieving anticipated cost savings or in fully
implementing project and information management systems, availability of
financing at acceptable terms, possible future acquisitions that may not be
complementary or additive, changes in interest rates, increased inflation and
availability of skilled labor. Additional information regarding important
factors that could cause actual results of operations or outcomes of other
events to differ materially from any forward-looking statement also appears
elsewhere in this report, including under the heading "Seasonality and
Fluctuations in Quarterly Results".

               COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 26, 1999 were $101.0
million, a decrease of $11.9 million, or 10.6%, from $112.9 million for the
three months ended September 27, 1998. Net sales by segment were as follows (in
millions):

                 ========               ========            =======

Automation segment sales decreased primarily as a result of lower sales to the
automotive and electronics industries. Soft order activity resulting from
deferral of capital spending programs with automotive customers during the
second half of fiscal 1999 resulted in revenues from the automotive industry
that were significantly below those recorded during the first quarter of fiscal
1999. Sales to a significant electronics customer were also down compared to the
prior year quarter primarily due to its reduction in capital spending.
Additionally, sales to other industries were below prior year levels due to a
general reduction in capital spending for automation systems. These decreases
were partially offset by a substantial increase in revenues from build-to-print
machinery for a significant tire manufacturer.

Increased Packaging segment sales reflect a combination of significantly higher
sales of plastics processing equipment, strong sales of tablet filling systems
primarily to nutritional customers and the incremental increase in sales as a
result of the acquisitions of C.E. King in July 1999 and Scheu & Kniss in August
1998. The increased sales from plastics processing equipment resulted primarily
from increased sales of extrusion systems and the unusually low revenues in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999.

Gross profit decreased $5.3 million, or 18.9%, to $22.9 million for the three
months ended September 26, 1999 from $28.2 million for the three months ended
September 27, 1998. The gross margin decreased to 22.7% from 25.0%. The decrease
reflects lower margins in the Automation segment as a result of the lower
margins being achieved on new business and inefficiencies related to the lower
utilization of manufacturing resources. The increase in the Packaging segment's
gross margin primarily reflects a significant increase in margins on plastics
processing equipment as several factors adversely affected margins for this
equipment in the first half of fiscal 1999. This increase was partially offset
by lower margins on other packaging machinery sales primarily reflecting greater
integration of lower-margin third-party equipment on certain tablet-filling
lines.

SG&A expenses increased $1.1 million, or 5.7%, to $19.8 million for the three
months ended September 26, 1999 from $18.8 million for the three months ended
September 27, 1998. The increase was due primarily to the recently acquired
businesses and the costs associated with the establishment of a start-up
business, consisting of an advanced automation engineering group targeting the
electronics and medical device markets. The Automation segment's operating costs
excluding the start-up business were flat with the prior year quarter. Packaging
segment operating costs increased over the same period in the prior year
primarily from the timing of trade shows and other marketing activities.
Corporate operating costs were down compared to the same period in the prior
year as a result of cost cutting measures implemented, primarily headcount
reductions, in response to the lower level of sales. Due to the lower sales and
higher expenses as compared to the prior year, SG&A expenses as a percentage of
consolidated net sales increased to 19.7% from 16.6%.

Operating income decreased $6.4 million, or 67.8%, to $3.0 million for the three
months ended September 26,1999 from $9.4 million for the three months ended
September 27, 1998, as a result of the factors noted above. The operating margin
decreased to 3.0% from 8.4% in the prior year.

Interest expense decreased $0.2, or 11.7%, to $1.8 million for the three months
ended September 26, 1999.

Net income decreased $4.1 million for the three months ended September 26, 1999
from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 27, 1998 resulting in a
loss of $(0.3) million. Basic and diluted loss per share were $(0.03) for the
three months ended September 26, 1999 compared to basic and diluted earnings per
share of $0.37 for the three months ended September 27, 1998. Basic weighted
average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 26, 1999 was
10.1 million versus 10.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 1998.
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September
26, 1999 was 10.1 million versus 12.4 million for the three months ended
September 27, 1998. The decrease is primarily due to the exclusion of the
antidilutive convertible securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net income plus non-cash operating charges provided $3.8 million of operating
cash flow for the quarter ended September 26, 1999. Net increases in working
capital balances used operating cash of $17.2 million, resulting in net cash
used by operating activities of $13.4 million for the quarter ended September
26, 1999. The higher working capital balances reflect: (1) increased inventory
and costs and earnings in excess of amounts billed, largely in the Automation
segment, primarily due to costs being accumulated on a few large projects and
the continued delays on certain assembly system contracts and (2) decreased
trade accounts payable levels resulting from the timing of purchases and the
lower volume of manufacturing activity as compared to the prior year quarter.
These unfavorable changes were partially offset by moderate increases in
customer advances related to higher order activity in the first quarter.

During the three months ended September 26, 1999, the Company borrowed $15.6
million on its revolving credit facility. The funds were used for working
capital requirements, the acquisition of C. E. King for $2.1 million and capital
expenditures of $1.8 million.

During the three months ended September 27, 1998, net cash used by operating
activities was $1.9 million. Net income plus non-cash operating charges provided
$7.6 million of operating cash flow. A net unfavorable change in working capital
balances resulted in cash used of $9.5 million. The increased working capital
resulted in unfavorable changes in trade receivables, inventories, costs and
earnings in excess of amounts billed and accrued liabilities. Trade receivables
increased due primarily to special terms negotiated on a large automotive
project. Inventories increased as a result of the reduced plastics processing
equipment shipments and substantial advance purchases of parts for multiple
tablet presses. The increase in costs and earnings in excess of amounts billed
reflects the costs built up as Automation segment projects were delayed. The
decrease in accrued liabilities was caused primarily by the payment of year-end
bonuses. These increases were partially offset by a favorable change in customer
advances which increased as payments were received on a few large special
machines projects.

Cash provided by financing activities of $14.6 million during the three months
ended September 27, 1998 was used to fund the acquisition of Scheu & Kniss for
$10.4 million, repurchases of the Company's stock of $9.7 million, finance
capital expenditures of $5.0 million and fund working capital requirements.

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.

On July 27, 1998, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sencorp Systems, Inc.,
issued $7.0 million of Massachusetts Industrial Finance Agency Multi-Mode
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds 1998 Series A (Bonds) to fund the expansion
of the Company's facility in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The Bonds mature July 1,
2023 and require an annual sinking fund payment to be made each July 1. The
bonds 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 price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal
plus accrued interest. The interest rate, which is not permitted to rise above
12%, was 3.90% as of September 26, 1999. The proceeds from the Bonds are held in
trust until needed for the expansion. Approximately $5.3 million has been
received from the Bonds as of September 26, 1999.

In September 1999, the Company completed an amendment to its $175 million credit
facility. The total credit facility, as amended, is $135 million, including a
$125 million revolving credit facility and a $10 million term credit facility.
The revolving credit 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 bear interest at floating
rates based on the prime rate plus 1 7/8% or LIBOR plus 3% (at the option of
DTI). The amended credit facility matures on April 2, 2001. Borrowings under the
amended credit facility are now secured by substantially all of the assets of
DTI and its domestic subsidiaries. The amendment to the credit facility
established a revised set of financial and other covenants and restrictions,
including prohibitions of acquisitions and payment of dividends without the
consent of the lenders. The Company was in compliance with the amended credit
facility at September 26, 1999. Total borrowing availability under the amended
credit facility as of September 26, 1999 was $19.2 million.

In conjunction with the negotiation of the amended credit facility, the Company
elected to defer interest payments on the Convertible Junior Subordinated
Debentures. The amended credit facility requires that the 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 and pay any dividends on its common stock.

Management anticipates that capital expenditures in the current fiscal year will
be 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.

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.
The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and
assumed liabilities 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 has been recorded as goodwill. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the results of C. E. King from the date of
acquisition.

Based on its ability to generate funds from operations and the availability of
funds under its current credit facilities, the Company believes that it will
have sufficient funds available to meet its currently anticipated operating and
capital expenditure requirements.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog is based upon customer purchase orders that the Company
believes are firm. As of September 26, 1999, the Company had $206.3 million of
orders in backlog, which compares to a backlog of approximately $206.2 million
as of September 27, 1998.

The backlog for the Automation segment at September 26, 1999 was $161.1 million,
which decreased $0.4 million from a year ago. A significant increase in backlog
with a customer in the tire industry was offset by the general reduction and
deferral of capital spending by customers in the major industries served by the
Company. Backlog for the Packaging segment was $39.6 million, an increase of
$0.2 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1999.

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 that most of the orders in the backlog will
be recognized as sales during the current fiscal year.

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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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 at fair value. SFAS
133 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company is continuing to evaluate the provisions of SFAS 133 to determine its
impact on financial position and results of operations. The Company holds no
material derivative financial instruments at September 26, 1999.

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
estimated 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 deployment
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. 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.

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 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 September 26,
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.

         2. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:

                  (a) The first sentence of Section 3.1. is entirely amended, as
         follows:
                           Subject to the applicable limitations in Section 3.2
                  and elsewhere herein, each Lender commits to make available to
                  Domestic Borrower, from the Effective Date to the Revolving
                  Loan Maturity Date, such Lender's prorata share of an
                  Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in the Dollar Equivalent
                  Amount of (a) $165,000,000 from the date of this Agreement
                  through but excluding September 24, 1999, and (b) $130,000,000
                  at all times thereafter (the "Aggregate Revolving Loan
                  Commitment") by funding such Lender's prorata share (as listed
                  on Exhibit 3 hereto) of Revolving Loan Advances denominated in
                  Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Deutsche Marks and made from time
                  to time as provided herein.

                  (b) A new Section 3.2.6. is added immediately following
         Section 3.2.5., as follows:

                  3.2.6. Minimum Availability. No Revolving Loan Advance will be
                  made which would result in the Unused Revolving Loan
                  Commitment equaling less than $5,000,000 unless and until
                  Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have received from
                  Domestic Borrower (a) the financial statements required under
                  Section 13.13.2. for the fiscal quarter of Borrower ending in
                  December 1999, reflecting that EBITDA for the two quarter
                  period then ended met or exceeded $16,064,000, and (b) a
                  certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Domestic
                  Borrower that no Default or Event of Default exists at the
                  time such financial statements are delivered. If the above
                  conditions are not met and Domestic Borrower shall voluntarily
                  reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment by an aggregate
                  amount of $5,000,000 or more, then the minimum availability
                  requirement described above shall no longer be applicable.

                  (c) The introductory language in Section 4.3. is entirely
         amended, as follows:

                  The "Adjusted Eurodollar Rate" for any Eurodollar Loan is the
                  lesser of (a) the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable
                  Eurodollar Increment, and (b) the Maximum Rate, and the
                  "Adjusted Base Rate" for any Base Rate Loan shall be the
                  lesser of (a) the Prime Rate plus the applicable Base Rate
                  Increment, and (b) the Maximum Rate. Beginning September 24,
                  1999, and continuing at all times thereafter, the Eurodollar
                  Increment shall be 3.00%, and the Base Rate Increment shall be
                  1.875%. At all times before such date, the Eurodollar
                  Increment and the Base Rate Increment shall be as prescribed
                  for the applicable Level in the following table:

                  (d) The first sentence of Section 4.7. is entirely amended, as
         follows:

                  Interest on all Eurodollar Loans will be calculated on the
                  basis of actual number of days elapsed but computed as if each
                  calendar year consisted of 360 days, and


                                       2
<PAGE>

                  interest on all Base Rate Loans will be calculated on the
                  basis of actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year
                  of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

                  (e) Section 4.15. is entirely amended, as follows:

                  4.15. Usury. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan
                  Document, Lenders are not entitled to contract for, charge,
                  take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest on all or any
                  part of the Loan Obligation, any amount in excess of the
                  Maximum Rate, and, if Lenders ever do so, then any excess
                  shall be treated as a partial prepayment of principal and any
                  remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining
                  if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate,
                  Borrower and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted
                  under applicable Law, (a) treat all Advances as but a single
                  extension of credit (and Lenders and Borrower agree that this
                  is the case and that provision in this Agreement for multiple
                  Advances is for convenience only), (b) characterize any
                  nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather
                  than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary prepayments and their
                  effects, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the
                  total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
                  term of the Loan Obligations. However, if the Loan Obligations
                  are paid in full before the end of their full contemplated
                  term, and if the interest received for its actual period of
                  existence exceeds the Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund any
                  excess (and Lenders may not, to the extent permitted by Law,
                  be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for
                  contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving
                  interest in excess of the Maximum Amount). If Texas laws are
                  applicable for purposes of determining the "Maximum Rate" or
                  the "Maximum Amount," then those terms mean the "weekly
                  ceiling" from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the
                  Texas Finance Code, as amended. Borrower agrees that Chapter
                  346 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended (which regulates
                  certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty
                  accounts), does not apply to the Loan Documents.

                  (f) A new paragraph is added to Section 5.1. immediately
         following the table therein, as follows:

                  Notwithstanding any of the above to the contrary, beginning
                  September 24, 1999, and continuing at all times thereafter,
                  (a) the "Commitment Fee Rate" shall be 0.50% per annum, and
                  (b) the "Unused Revolving Loan Commitment" on any day shall be
                  the difference between (i) the amount of the Aggregate
                  Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) the sum of (A) the
                  Aggregate Revolving Loan, and (B) the Letter of Credit
                  Exposure as of the close of business on such day.

                  (g) The second sentence of Section 5.2. is entirely amended,
         as follows:

                  The "Letter of Credit Fee" for any Letter of Credit shall be
                  equal to 3.00% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of
                  the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, payable
                  quarterly in advance on the day of its issuance and as of the
                  first day of each calendar quarter thereafter.

                                       3

                  (h) Section 6.1.2. is entirely amended, as follows:

                  6.1.2. Principal. Borrower shall repay the entire amount of
                  the Aggregate Revolving Loan as then outstanding on April 2,
                  2001. Canadian Borrowers shall repay the entire amount of the
                  Canadian Term Loan on April 2, 2001.

                  (i) A new Section 6.2.3. is added immediately following
         Section 6.2.2., as follows:

                  6.2.3. Mandatory Prepayment from Asset Sale Proceeds. Promptly
                  upon receipt of the proceeds from any sale, transfer,
                  exchange, lease, or other dispositions of any of its assets on
                  or after September 24, 1999 (except for sales in the ordinary
                  course of business, sales of worn out or obsolete assets to be
                  immediately replaced by assets of equal or greater value or
                  quality, and sales or other dispositions of other assets
                  (excluding stock of any Subsidiaries) for which the book value
                  does not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate), Borrower shall
                  prepay the Loans in a principal amount equal to 100% of the
                  Net Proceeds of such transaction. For purposes hereof, "Net
                  Proceeds" means the aggregate amount of cash and cash
                  equivalents received by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower
                  in connection with any transaction described in this Section
                  6.2.3. minus fees, costs and expenses and related taxes paid
                  or payable as a result of such transaction. Any such
                  prepayment shall be applied to the Aggregate Canadian Term
                  Loan and the Aggregate Revolving Loan, pro rata based upon the
                  respective principal amounts of the Aggregate Canadian Term
                  Loan and the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at the time
                  of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
                  contrary, the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently
                  reduced by the amount of any such prepayment applied to the
                  Aggregate Revolving Loan. Nothing in this Section 6.2.3.
                  permits any violation of Section 14.6. of this Agreement.

                  (j) The first sentence of Section 11.18 is entirely amended as
         follows:

                  To Borrower's knowledge, all Pension Benefit Plans maintained
                  by each Covered Person or an ERISA Affiliate of such Covered
                  Person qualify under Section 401 of the Code (other than plans
                  intended to be non-qualified) and are in compliance with the
                  provisions of ERISA in all material respects.

                  (k) Section 13.1. is entirely amended, as follows:

                  13.1. Use of Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions
                  hereof, the proceeds of any Revolving Loan Advances made after
                  September, 1999, shall be used only for working capital and
                  capital expenditures, as the source for payment of Borrower's
                  reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit,
                  and for general corporate purposes.

                  (l) Section 13.13.1. is hereby amended by (i) deleting the
         text, "120 days," and replacing it with the text, "90 days, and (ii)
         deleting the text, "(on a group basis)," and replacing it with the
         text, "(on a company by company basis)."
