On a comparative basis, after removing the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar in the prior year, our second quarter sales and EBITDA declined approximately $17.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, from prior year levels. As we communicated late in the quarter, our second quarter sales into the RV market were down approximately 50%, or $8.6 million, from the record level in the prior year as a result of significantly weaker demand from our RV OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  customers. Additionally, the second quarter of last year included approximately $4 million of revenue in our Tools & Supplies segment that was delayed from the first quarter to the second quarter as a result of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise.

 in North America had an impact across most of our businesses, resulting in lower shipments.

"Despite lower revenues, we continued to reduce debt in the second quarter. We repaid an additional $8.8 million in the quarter, reducing our total debt to $413 million. The debt issued to finance the Dewald acquisition was incurred on March 1, 2001 and is not included in the quarter-end $413 million total debt balance. Since the spin-off seven months ago, we have reduced debt by $37.6 million, or $4.52 per share. We have delivered debt reduction of $19.6 million toward our full year fiscal 2001 $35 million guidance, excluding acquisitions and divestitures, and are confident we will meet such guidance for the fiscal year."

Fiscal 2001 second quarter sales in the Tools & Supplies segment declined to $68.9 million from $76.0 million in the comparable prior year period, excluding non-continuing businesses. Excluding the effect of foreign currency rate changes, Tools & Supplies sales declined 8%, with Enerpac posting 2% growth, and Gardner Bender Gardner Bender is a manufacturer of professional electrician's tools and supplies.

Over half of the sales decline in Gardner Bender results from the inclusion in the prior year's second quarter of approximately $4 million of revenue that was delayed from the first quarter into the second quarter as a result of the information system conversion.

Excluding the non-continuing businesses, Engineered Solutions sales were $44.4 million, or 22% lower than the $57.2 million reported in the second quarter of the prior year.

EBITDA within the Engineered Solutions segment declined from $12.7 million in the second quarter of the prior year to $8.2 million in the current quarter, reflecting the corresponding decline in production volumes and shipments.

Looking forward to the balance of fiscal 2001, Arzbaecher commented, "Slowing economic conditions in North America definitely impacted our second quarter operating results. Given present economic indicators Economic indicators

Cash EPS, which excludes the after tax impact of amortization expense, is forecast to be between $2.52 - $2.66 per share. While we are lowering our sales and earnings guidance, we remain committed to our $35 million debt reduction target for the year."

Commenting on the appointment, Arzbaecher said, "We are pleased to have a person of Mark's caliber join the Gardner Bender business. His background of over 20 years at Stanley provides us with an experienced industry executive that can hit the ground running and make a positive impact on the Gardner Bender business."

Lastly, the Company announced that it is in dialogue with a number of parties regarding the possible sale of its Mox-Med business.

It has an outstanding customer base, a strong management team and a dedicated group of employees. Since it does not tightly fit our core branded tools and position control strategies, we are presently exploring the possibility of divesting this business and using the proceeds to reduce debt.
