CORE MATERIALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q and include all of the
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim reporting, which are less than those
required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of
which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Core Materials Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Core
Materials") at March 31,June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows.
The "Consolidated Notes"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", which are contained in the
2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with these
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to
prior year's amounts to conform to the classifications of such amounts for 2002.
Core Materials Corporation and its subsidiaries operate in the plastics
market in a family of products known as "reinforced plastics". Reinforced
plastics are combinations of resins and reinforcing fibers (typically glass or
carbon) that are molded to shape. The Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina
facilities produce reinforced plastics by compression molding sheet molding
compound (SMC) in a closed mold process. The Matamoros, Mexico facility produces
reinforced plastic products by spray-up and hand-lay-up open mold processes and
vacuum assisted resin infused (VRIM) closed mold process.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share isare computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per common share isare computed similarly but include the effect of the exercise
of stock options under the treasury stock method. In calculating net income per
share for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2001, stock options
had no effect on the weighted average shares for the computation of diluted
income per share and consequently basic and diluted net income per share were
the same.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
(LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss) plus the results of certain
non-shareowners'non-stockholders' equity changes not reflected in the Statement of Income. The
components of comprehensive income, (loss), net of tax, are as follows:

4. ACQUISITION OF AIRSHIELD CORPORATION ASSETS
On October 16, 2001, Core Materials Corporation purchased substantially
all of the assets, consisting primarily of inventory, accounts receivable and
manufacturing equipment, of Airshield Corporation, a privately held manufacturer
of fiberglass reinforced plastic parts for the truck and automotive-aftermarket
industries. Airshield iswas based in Brownsville, Texas, with manufacturing
operations in Matamoros, Mexico. Airshield had been operating under Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection since March 2001. Core Materials Corporation has continued
operations from Airshield's former manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico.
The following (unaudited) pro forma consolidated results of operations
have been prepared as if the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
Airshield Corporation had occurred at the beginning of 2001.

would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time,
nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. The effects of the
acquisition have been included in the consolidated statement of income since the
acquisition date.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations". This statement improves the transparency of the accounting and
reporting for business combinations by requiring that all business combinations
be accounted for under a single method - the purchase method. This Statement is
effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airshield Corporation, which
took place on October 16, 2001, was accounted for under SFAS No. 141.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,No.142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets". This statement applies to intangibles and goodwill
acquired after June 30, 2001, as well as goodwill and intangibles previously
acquired. Under this statement goodwill as well as other intangibles determined
to have an infinite life will no longer be amortized; however these assets will
be reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis. Due to the 7
adoption of SFAS No.
142, the Company does not amortize goodwill. The total net book value of
goodwill at March 31,June 30, 2002 was $1,097,433, and there was no goodwill recorded at
March 31,June 30, 2001.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The adoption of this
statement, as of January 1, 2002, did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
6. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR INFORMATION
In the current year, the Company has classified completed tooling
projects as revenue and cost of goods sold in the statement of income.
Previously, the Company classified the net effect of tooling projects as a
miscellaneous gain (loss) in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Tooling projects are and have been accounted for under the completed contracts
method. For comparative purposes, amounts in prior years have been reclassified
to conform to current year presentations. Second quarter 2001 tooling revenue
was $985,000 and the associated cost of goods sold $960,000. For the six months
ending June 30, 2001 tooling revenue amounted to $2,419,000 and the applicable
costs of goods sold was $2,420,000.
7
This change in classification had no effect on previously reported net income,
cash flow or stockholders' equity.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 2, 2002, Core Materials Corporation filed a definitive proxy
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval from its
stockholders of record on July 29, 2002, to change the name of Core Materials
Corporation to Core Molding Technologies, Inc. A special stockholders' meeting
will take place on August 28, 2002, to determine if the Company's stockholders
will approve the name change.
In September 2002, the Company anticipates changing its ticker symbol
on the American Stock Exchange from "CME" to "CMT". This change is taking place
because another corporation has offered to purchase the rights to use "CME" from
the Company for $500,000 and other promotional considerations.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements under this caption constitute "forward-looking
statements" which involve certain risks and uncertainties. Core Materials'
actual results may differ significantly from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to: business conditions in the plastics, transportation,
recreation and commercial product industries, the general economy, competitive
factors, the dependence on foura few major customers, the recent efforts of Core
Materials to expand its customer base, new technologies, regulatory
requirements, labor relations, the loss or inability to attract key personnel,
the availability of capital, the start up of new operations in Mexico and
management's decisions to pursue new products or businesses which involve
additional costs, risks or capital expenditures.
OVERVIEW
Core Materials is a compounder of sheet molding composite ("SMC") and
molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company produces high quality
fiberglass reinforced molded products and SMC materials for varied markets,
including medium and heavy-duty trucks, automobiles, personal watercraft and
other commercial products. The demand for Core Materials' products is affected
by economic conditions in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Core Materials'
manufacturing operations have a significant fixed cost component. Accordingly,
during periods of changing demands, the profitability of Core Materials'
operations may change proportionately more than revenues from operations.
On December 31, 1996, Core Materials acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Columbus Plastics, a wholly owned
operating unit of International's truck manufacturing division since its
formation in late 1980. Columbus Plastics was a compounder and compression
molder of SMC. In October 2001, Core Materials acquired certain assets of
Airshield Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, Core Materials expanded
its fiberglass molding capabilities to include the spray up, hand-lay-up and
vacuum assisted resin infusion molding processes.processes ("VRIM"). The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase accounting method and accordingly the effects
of the acquisition are included in the results of operations and financial
condition of Core Materials from the date of the acquisition and forward.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 2001
Net sales for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, totaled $20,297,000$26,652,000
representing an approximate 6%45% increase from the $19,099,000$18,443,000 reported for the
three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. Sales to International increased to
$10,249,000$11,344,000 from $9,986,000$10,368,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001.June 30, 2002. The
primary reason for the increase was due to additional business with
International that was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition,
noted above. Sales to Yamaha decreasedincreased for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002
by approximately 27% to $4,133,000$4,357,000 compared with $5,631,000$3,488,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001.
The decreaseincrease in Yamaha sales is primarily the result of the introduction of
Yamaha's new four-cycle personal watercraft. The Company also saw additions to
Yamaha was primarilysales due to the negative impact general economic conditions have had on the demand for
personal watercraft.new business with Freightliner and Paccar. Sales to Lear increasedFreightliner
amounted to $2,273,000$2,629,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $327,000 forJune 30, 2002. These sales
were the same period a year ago primarily due
to the first quarter of 2001 being the ramp up of production for the Lear
product. Additionally, sales to Freightliner totaled $1,740,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. Core Materials began selling product to
Freightliner in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to Paccar
amounted to $4,236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales to Paccar
were generated primarily from the completion of tooling projects for new
business that the Company has acquired. Sales to Lear Corporation decreased to
$1,807,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to sales of
$2,728,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The primary reason for this
decrease was due to reductions in selling prices for Lear products.
9
Sales to other customers for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, decreasedincreased
approximately 40%22% to $1,901,000$2,278,000 from $3,156,000$1,861,000 for the three months ended March 31,June
30, 2001. The decrease in salesincrease was primarily the result of Core
Materials discontinuing its business relationship with Case/New Holland in 2001.
For the three months ending March 31, 2001, salesdue to Case/New Holland amounted
to $2,190,000. Offsetting a portion of the decreases were sales of $938,000$363,000 to other various customers
brought onobtained from the acquisition noted above.
9
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, tooling sales amounted to
$5,209,000, as compared to $989,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Tooling sales accounted for 19.5% of total sales revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 2002. This amount was 5.4% for the three months ended June 30,
2001. Tooling projects are sporadic in nature and do not represent a recurring
trend.
Gross Marginmargin was approximately 16.5%15.5% of sales for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002,
compared with 12.7%13.2% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The increase in
gross margin as a percent of sales, from the prior year, wasis primarily due to
a combination of many factors including improvedimprovements in material, labor utilization,
improved manufacturing processes leading to a reduction of scrap costs,efficiency and reduced energyrepair and maintenance costs at
the Company's Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina
facilities.facility. Gross marginmargins from the newly established
operationoperations resulting from the acquisition noted above waswere generally in line
with the Company's historical business. DuringPartially offsetting the increase in
gross margin were the price reductions for the Lear product as noted above,
which is produced at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility. Also,
completed tooling projects for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, had a slightly
dilutive effect on gross margin for this operation was favorably
impacted by temporary customer price concessions. These price concessions
expired in April 2002; however, the Company expects the gross margin for this
operation to stay in line with its other operations due to continuing efforts
to improve manufacturing processes and reduce manufacturing costs.percentage.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") totaled $1,964,000$2,551,000 for
the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, decreasingincreasing from $2,027,000$1,737,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001. Downsizing of the workforce and cost
saving programs implemented in the Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina
facilities were offset by the addition of the Mexican operation.
Interest expense totaled $501,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2002, increasing from $480,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The increase in interest expense from 2001 was primarily due to interestthe
additional costs added as a result of the new Mexican operation.
Interest expense being reduced in 2001 by a higher amount of capitalized interest associated with
assets being constructed.totaled $507,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002,
increasing slightly from $502,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Interest rates experienced by the Company with respect to the industrial revenue
bond were favorable; however, due to the interest rate swap the Company entered
into, the interest rate is essentially fixed for this debt instrument. Interest
income totaled $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, decreasing from
$104,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to a decrease in
funds available for investment and the decrease in the interest rate for that
investment.
Income taxes for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately 38%39% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be
lower than the recorded expenses as Core Materials has substantial federal tax
loss carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax
asset. As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax
payments, Core Materials reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording
a reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related
to income earned for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately $238,000,$253,000 which reflects federal alternative minimum, state and
local taxes.
Net income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, was $574,000,$667,000 or $.06$.07
per basic and diluted share, representing an increase of $570,000$491,000 over the net income for the
three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001, of $4,000,$176,000 or $.00$.02 per basic and diluted
share.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $47,678,000
representing an approximate 22.3% increase from the $38,977,000 reported for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. Sales to International increased slightly to
$22,322,000 from $21,518,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary
reason for the increase was due to additional business with International that
was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to
Lear increased to $4,080,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from
$3,054,000 for the same period a year ago. The primary reason for the increase
was due to the product for Lear being introduced in early 2001 with initial
sales volumes being relatively low. This increase is partially offset by
reductions in selling prices as noted above. The Company also saw additions to
sales due to new business to Freightliner and Paccar. This increase was due to
the reasons noted above for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales to
Yamaha decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $8,490,000
compared with $9,118,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in
Yamaha sales is primarily due to the negative impact general economic conditions
have had on the demand for personal watercraft.
Sales to other customers for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased
to $3,890,000 from $5,286,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease in sales was primarily the result of the Company discontinuing its
business relationship with Case/New Holland. Sales to Case/New Holland were
$3,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Partially offsetting these
amounts were sales to other customers obtained from the acquisition noted above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, tooling sales amounted to
$5,939,000, as compared to $2,425,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Tooling sales accounted for 12.5% of total sales revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2002. This amount was 6.2% for the six months ended June 30,
2001. Tooling projects are sporadic in nature and do not represent a recurring
trend.
Gross margin was 15.8% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
compared with 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in
gross margin, as a percent of sales from the prior year, was due to a
combination of many factors including improved labor utilization, improved
manufacturing processes leading to a reduction of scrap costs, reduced energy
costs and repairs and maintenance costs at the
10
Company's Columbus, Ohio facility. Gross margins from the newly established
operations resulting from the acquisition noted above were generally in line
with the Company's historical business. Partially offsetting the increase in
gross margin were the price reductions for the Lear product as noted above,
which is produced at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility. Also,
completed tooling projects for the six months ended June 30, 2002, had a
slightly dilutive effect on gross margin percentage.
SG&A totaled $4,589,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, increasing
from $3,738,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase from the
2001 amount is primarily due to the reasons noted above for the three months.
Interest expense totaled $1,008,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
increasing slightly from $982,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, for
the reason noted above. Interest income totaled $71,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, decreasing from $200,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 for the reason noted above.
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately 39% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be
lower than the recorded expenses as Core Materials has substantial federal tax
loss carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax
asset. As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax
payments, Core Materials reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording
a reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related
to income earned for the six months ended June 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately $491,000 which reflects federal alternative minimum, state and
local taxes.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $1,241,000 or $.13
per basic and diluted share, an increase of $1,062,000 compared to the net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2001, of $179,000 or $.02 per basic and
diluted share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Core Materials' primary cash requirements are for operating expenses
and capital expenditures. These cash requirements have historically been met
through a combination of cash flow from operations, equipment leasing, issuance
of Industrial Revenue Bonds and bank lines of credit.
Cash provided by operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002,
totaled $1,372,000.$2,771,000. Net income increasedcontributed $1,241,000 with depreciation and
amortization adding another $1,006,000. Adding positive operating cash flows by $574,000. Also
adding positive cash flow was
an increase in accounts payable of $2,429,000,$3,294,000, primarily related to timing
effects. Additionally, depreciation and amortization
provided $506,000 in positive cash flow. Decreasing the operating cash flow was an increase in accounts
receivable of $1,968,000,$2,349,000, which was primarily due to the
increased volume in sales volumes in
the first quarterhalf of 2002 compared to the volume in
the fourth quarter of 2001.2002. Also decreasing the operating cash flowflows was an increase in
inventory of $557,000 primarily$592,000 due to the Company building ahead on
certain products due to scheduled tooling refurbishments.production ramp up for new product launches.
Investing activities increasedpositively affected cash flow by $197,000$406,000 for the
threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002. CapitalProceeds from maturities on Core Materials'
mortgage-backed security investment totaled $626,000. Partially offsetting these
proceeds were capital expenditures totaled $124,000, which wasof $219,000 primarily related to the
acquisition of machinery and equipment.
Offsetting
these expenditures were proceeds from maturities on the Company's
mortgage-backed security investment of $321,000.
Financing activities reduced cash flow by $85,000$175,000 due to principal
repayments on the $7,500,000 Industrial Revenue Bond that was issued in 1998.
At March 31,June 30, 2002, Core Materials had cash on hand of $4,678,000$6,197,000 and an
available line of credit of $7,500,000, which is scheduled to mature on August
1, 2002.$7,500,000. As of March 31,June 30, 2002, Core Materials was
in violation of two of its three financial debt covenants for its line of
credit, its letter of credit securing the Industrial Revenue Bond and certain
equipment leases. The covenants relate to maintaining certain financial ratios.
Core Materials has received a written commitment from the bank to waive these
covenants each quarter through the 10
quarter ended September 30, 2002, if Core
Materials operates in compliance with financial projections for fiscal year 2002
and does not experience any material adverse change to its financial condition.
Core Materials has operated in compliance with the financial projections for the
three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, and the bank has waived the covenants for this
period. Management expects Core Materials to meet these projections for the
remainder of 2002. However, if performance should fall below these projections
or if a material adverse change in the financial position of Core Materials
should occur, Core Materials' liquidity and ability to obtain further financing
to fund future operating and capital requirements could be negatively impacted.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
11
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an
on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including
those related to accounts receivable, inventories, post retirement benefits, and
income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among
others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable allowances:
Management maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances may be required. Management also records estimates for customer
returns and discounts offered to customers. Should customer returns and
discounts fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be
required.
Inventories:
In some cases, the Company purchases raw materials and components at
anticipated production levels. Management identifies slow moving or obsolete
inventories and estimates appropriate loss provisions related to these
inventories. Historically, these loss provisions have not been significant.
Should actual results differ from these estimates, additional provisions may be
required.
Post retirement benefits:
Management records an accrual for post retirement costs associated with
the Company sponsored health care plan. Should actual results differ from the
assumptions, particularly related to future health care costs, used to determine
the reserves, additional provisions may be required.
Income taxes:
Management records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax
assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the
valuation allowance and recorded a valuation allowance (see Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, included
in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders). The ability to realize deferred tax
assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income. The valuation
reserve will be adjusted as the Company determines the actual amount of deferred
tax assets that will be realized.

ITEM 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Core Materials' primary market risk results from fluctuations in
interest rates. Core Materials is also exposed to changes in the price of
commodities used in its manufacturing operations. The Company does not hold any
material market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
Core Materials has the following five items that are sensitive to a
change in interest rates: (1) Long-term debt consisting of an Industrial Revenue
Bond ("IRB") with a balance at March 31,June 30, 2002, of $6,365,000.$6,275,000. Interest is
variable and is computed weekly; the average interest rate charged for the threesix
months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, was 1.6%1.64%, and the maximum interest rate that may be
charged at any time over the life of the IRB is 10%. In order to minimize the
effect of the interest rate fluctuation, Core Materials has entered into an
interest rate swap arrangement under which Core Materials pays a fixed rate of
4.89% to a bank and receives 76% of the 30 day commercial paper rate; (2)
Long-term Secured Note Payable with a balance as of March 31,June 30, 2002, of
$19,920,000 that bears interest at a fixed annualinterest rate of 8%; (3) 7% mortgage-backed security
which matures in November 2025. Such security is recorded at cost and is
considered held to maturity as Core Materials has the intent and ability to hold
such security to maturity; (4) Revolving line of credit, which bears interest at
LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent or prime plus one-quarter percent;percent as
elected by Core Materials; and (5) Foreign currency purchases in which Core
Materials purchases Mexican pesos with United States dollars to meet certain
obligations that arise due to the facility located in Mexico.
Assuming a hypothetical 20% change in short-term interest rates in both
the threesix month periodsperiod ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest expense would not
change significantly, as the interest rate swap agreement would generally offset
the impact.
