Financial Outlook

For the fiscal fourth quarter 2000, the Company expects revenues approximately eight to ten percent lower than the fourth quarter of 1999 with operating income in the low-to-mid $30 million range. In addition to the continued negative impact of foreign currency exchange and rising oil prices, this revised fourth quarter operating income outlook primarily reflects recent product mix and volume adjustments, difficulties with certain commercial recovery issues and slower than planned production improvements at the Company's Farmville Farmville is the name of several places in the United States of America:
