PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
- -----------------

(a) Development of the Business

GENERAL

Allis-Chalmers Corporation (Allis-Chalmers or the Company) was incorporated in
1913 under Delaware law. The Company sold its major operating businesses in 1988
in accordance with its First Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization
(Plan of Reorganization) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on October 31,
1988 after acceptance by creditors and shareholders and was consummated on
December 2, 1988. See Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS for a discussion of such
proceedings.

The Company consists of three wholly-owned subsidiaries. One subsidiary, Houston
Dynamic Service, Inc., operates a machine repair business in Houston, Texas; the
other two subsidiaries, KILnGAS R&D, Inc. and U.S. Fluidcarbon Inc., are
inactive.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

The Company operates in a single industry segment -- the repair and service of
mechanical rotating equipment for the industrial, utility and governmental
aftermarkets.

The principal business activities of the Company are as follows:

MACHINE REPAIR

Sales of the machine repair business operated by Houston Dynamic Service, Inc.
(HDS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were $4,552,000 in 2000,
$4,370,000 in 1999 and $5,021,000 in 1998.

HDS services and repairs various types of mechanical equipment, including
compressors (centrifugal, rotary, axial and reciprocating), pumps, turbines,
engines, heat exchangers, centrifuges, rollers, gears, valves, blowers, kilns,
crushers and mills. Services provided include emergency repair, disassembly,
inspection, repair testing, parts duplication, machining, balancing, metalizing,
milling, grinding, boring, welding, modification, reassembly, field machining,
maintenance, alignment, field service, installation, startup and training.

HDS employed 37 people on December 31, 2000. It operates out of a facility in
Houston, Texas which was purchased by HDS in 1990. The facility includes a
repair shop and office space.
<PAGE>

HDS serves various industrial customers, including those in the petrochemical,
chemical, refinery, utility, waste and waste treatment, minerals processing,
power generation, pulp and paper and irrigation industries.

OTHER DATA

Competition in the Company's machine repair business consists of nine major
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and numerous smaller independent
competitors. Many of these competitors have special strengths in certain product
areas because of customer preferences for OEM suppliers or because specialized
patented technologies are offered. The principal methods of competition are
price, quality, delivery, customer service and warranty.

The principal raw materials and purchased components used in the machine repair
business are alloy and stainless steels, castings and forgings, aluminum,
copper, gears and other basic materials. Alternative sources of supply exist or
could be developed for all of these raw materials and components. This business
is highly labor intensive.

Some of the Company's products, processes and systems are covered by patents
owned by or licensed to the Company. No particular product, process or system is
dependent on a single fundamental patent, the loss of which would jeopardize the
Company's business. The Company licenses the use of a number of its trademarks,
from which it receives income.

During the past three years, Entergy and Amoco Chemical were the only customers
who accounted for 10% or more of total Company sales during any one year.
Entergy generated 25% of 2000 sales and Amoco Chemical 14% of 2000 sales.
Entergy generated 13% of 1999 sales and Amoco Chemical 24% of 1998 sales.

Expenditures relating to compliance with federal, state and local environmental
protection laws are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
capital expenditures, results of operations, financial condition or competitive
position. The Company is not aware of any present statutory requirements
concerning environmental quality that would necessitate capital outlays which
would materially affect the Company. In conjunction with consummation of the
Plan of Reorganization, the Company settled all known environmental claims
asserted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as
claims asserted by certain state agencies. However, the EPA and third parties
have claimed that Allis-Chalmers is liable for cleanup costs associated with
certain hazardous waste disposal sites in which products manufactured and sold
by Allis-Chalmers before consummation of the Plan of Reorganization were
ultimately disposed of by others. Since Allis-Chalmers manufactured and sold the
products disposed of in these sites before consummation of the Plan of
Reorganization, Allis-Chalmers has taken the position that all cleanup costs or
other liabilities related to these sites were discharged in the bankruptcy. See
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company's employment was 41, 37 and 47 at December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively.

2000 Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this report.

(d) Financial Information About Foreign and
Domestic Operations and Export Sales

The Company has no foreign operations or significant export sales.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- ------------------

The Company's principal operating facility is a 25,000 square foot repair shop
and office building in Houston, Texas, which is owned by HDS. The facility is
considered adequate and suitable for the Company's principal business.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- --------------------------

REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11
OF THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY CODE

On June 29, 1987, Allis-Chalmers and 17 of its domestic subsidiaries filed
separate voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court on October 31, 1988 after acceptance by the Company's creditors
and shareholders, and the Plan of Reorganization was consummated on December 2,
1988.

At confirmation, the Bankruptcy Court approved the establishment of the A-C
Reorganization Trust as the primary vehicle for distributions under the Plan of
Reorganization, two trust funds to service health care and life insurance
programs for retired employees and a trust fund to process and liquidate future
product liability claims. Cash of approximately $400 million and other assets
with a net book value of $38 million were distributed to creditors or
transferred to the trusts, and the trusts assumed responsibility for
substantially all remaining cash distributions to be made to holders of claims
and interests pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Company was thereby
discharged of all debts that arose before confirmation of the Plan of
Reorganization, and all of its capital stock was canceled and made eligible for
exchange for shares of the reorganized Company.

The Company does not administer any of the aforementioned trusts and retains no
responsibility for the assets transferred to or distributions to be made by such
trusts pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

<PAGE>

For a description of restrictions on the transfer of the common stock of the
reorganized Company, see Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

As part of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company made a cash payment of $4.5
million to the EPA in settlement of the EPA's claims for cleanup costs at all
sites where the Company was alleged to have disposed of hazardous waste. The EPA
settlement included both past and future cleanup costs at these sites and
released the Company of liability for claims of contribution or indemnity which
may be asserted by other potentially responsible parties against Allis-Chalmers
in connection with these specific sites.

In addition to the EPA settlement, the Company negotiated settlements of various
environmental claims which had been asserted by certain state environmental
protection agencies. These settlements, totaling approximately $200,000, were
approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Since consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on December 2, 1988, a number
of parties, including the EPA, have asserted that the Company is responsible for
the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. These assertions have been made only with
respect to the Company's prebankruptcy activities. A bankruptcy discharge
defense has been asserted by the Company in each instance. No claims have been
asserted against the Company involving its postbankruptcy operations.

Although the law in this area is still somewhat unsettled, three Federal Courts
of Appeal have held that a debtor can be discharged of environmental cleanup
liabilities related to its prebankruptcy activities. The Company believes it
will prevail in its position that its liability to the EPA and third parties for
prebankruptcy environmental cleanup costs has been fully discharged.

The EPA and certain state agencies also continue to request information in
connection with various waste disposal sites in which products manufactured by
Allis-Chalmers before consummation of the Plan of Reorganization were ultimately
disposed of by other parties. Although the Company has been discharged of
liabilities with respect to hazardous waste sites, it is under a continuing
obligation to provide information with respect to its products to federal and
state agencies. The A-C Reorganization Trust, under its mandate to provide Plan
of Reorganization implementation services to the Company, has responded to these
informational requests because prebankruptcy activities are involved.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The Plan of Reorganization provided for cancelling the old common stock of
Allis-Chalmers on December 2, 1988 and issuing new common stock of the
reorganized Company (Common Stock) to certain holders of claims and interests,
including holders of old common stock.

After receiving approval of a majority of shareholders of Common Stock, the
Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(Amendment), effective as of July 8, 1992, to effect a 1-for-15 reverse stock
split of the Common Stock pursuant to which each 15 shares of Common Stock, $.01
par value per share, were combined into one share of new Common Stock, $.15 par
value per share. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock,
the Amendment provided that shareholders owning less than 15 shares of Common
Stock were entitled to receive a cash payment at the rate of $8.85 per share of
Common Stock (equivalent to $0.59 per share of the presplit Common Stock). This
action, decreased the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock to 1,003,596
from 15,164,195 shares immediately prior to the reverse stock split and
decreased the number of shareholders to 7,408 from 17,799 prior to the reverse
stock split. Pursuant to the PBGC Agreement (See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and NOTES 7 and 9
to the FINANCIAL STATEMENTS entitled SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT and PENSION AND
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS), in June 1999 the Company issued (pursuant
to the exemption from Registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D thereunder) 585,100 shares of its common stock
to the PBGC increasing the total shares outstanding to 1,588,128 as of March 31,
1999. Per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements reflect the
reverse stock split and issuance of shares pursuant to the PBGC Agreement.

The Common Stock is subject to trading restrictions that are set forth in the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The trading
restrictions are designed to maximize the likelihood of preserving the Company's
substantial net operating loss carryforwards. There is no established public
trading market for the Common Stock. It is not certain when or if trading in the
Common Stock will commence or on which registered stock exchange or quotation
system, if any, the Common Stock may eventually be listed or quoted. At the
present time, the Company does not intend to file a listing application to any
registered national stock exchange or Nasdaq for trading or quotation of the
Common Stock.

No dividends were declared or paid during 2000, 1999 or 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements including the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview

Allis-Chalmers, after emerging from Chapter 11 under the Plan of Reorganization,
entered into an agreement with AL-CH Company, L.P. (Investor) pursuant to which
the Investor agreed to purchase 6.1 million shares (on a prereverse stock split
basis) of Common Stock (40% of the outstanding Common Stock) for $3,750,000 in
cash. The Investor is a limited partnership controlled by Messrs. Robert E.
Nederlander and Leonard Toboroff, two of the Company's directors.

The Company continues its efforts to conserve cash resources. However, the
expenses associated with the ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission and
other governmental reporting as well as legal, accounting and audit, insurance
and costs associated with other

<PAGE>
9

corporate requirements of a publicly held company will continue to make it
difficult for the Company, at its present size, to achieve positive cash flow.

As of the date of the Chapter 11 filings in June 1987, the Company sponsored 19
defined benefit plans providing pensions for substantially all U.S. employees.
The pension plan for U.S. salaried employees was capped and frozen effective
March 31, 1987, so there have been no further benefit accruals after that date.
As a result of divestitures during the Chapter 11 proceedings, eight active
plans were transferred to the buyers of the businesses, leaving the Company as
sponsor of 11 plans, none of which permitted additional benefit accruals.
Effective January 1, 1989, the 11 remaining plans were consolidated into a
single plan, the Allis-Chalmers Consolidated Pension Plan (Consolidated Plan).

In 1994, the Company's independent pension actuaries changed the assumptions for
mortality and administrative expenses used to determine the liabilities of the
Consolidated Plan. Primarily as a result of the changes in mortality assumptions
to reflect decreased mortality rates of the Company's retirees, the Consolidated
Plan was underfunded on a present value basis. In the first quarter of 1996, the
Company made a required cash contribution to the Consolidated Plan in the amount
of $205,000. The Company did not, however, have the financial resources to make
the other required payments during 1996 and 1997. Given the inability of the
Company to fund such obligations with its current financial resources, in
February 1997, Allis-Chalmers applied to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) for a "distress" termination of the Consolidated Plan under
section 4041(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (ERISA). The PBGC approved the distress termination application in
September 1997 and agreed to a plan termination date of April 14, 1997. The PBGC
became trustee of the terminated Consolidated Plan on September 30, 1997.

Upon termination of the Consolidated Plan, Allis-Chalmers and its subsidiaries
incurred a liability to the PBGC for an amount equal to the Consolidated Plan's
unfunded benefit liabilities. Allis-Chalmers and its subsidiaries also have
liability to the PBGC, as trustee of the terminated Consolidated Plan, for the
outstanding balance of the Consolidated Plan's accumulated funding deficiencies.
The PBGC has estimated that the unfunded benefit liabilities and the accumulated
funding deficiencies (together, the PBGC Liability) total approximately $67.9
million. Effective March 31, 1999, the Company issued 585,100 shares to the PBGC
reducing the pension liability by the estimated fair market value of the shares
to $66.9 million.

In September 1997, Allis-Chalmers and the PBGC entered into an agreement in
principle for the settlement of the PBGC Liability which required, among other
things, satisfactory resolution of the Company's tax obligations with respect to
the Consolidated Plan under Section 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (Code). Section 4971(a) of the Code imposes, for each taxable year, a
first-tier tax of 10% on the amount of the accumulated funding deficiency under
a plan like the Consolidated Plan. Section 4971(b) of the Code imposes an
additional, second-tier tax equal to 100% of such accumulated funding deficiency
if the deficiency is not "corrected" within a specified period. Liability for
the taxes imposed under section 4971 extends, jointly and severally, to the
Company and to its commonly-controlled subsidiary corporations.

<PAGE>

On July 16, 1998, the Company and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reached an
agreement in principal to settle the Company's tax liability under Code Section
4971 for $75,000. Following final IRS approval, payment of this amount was made
on August 11, 1998.

In June 1999, but effective as of March 31, 1999, the Company and the PBGC
entered into an agreement for the settlement of the PBGC Liability (the PBGC
Agreement).

Pursuant to the terms of the PBGC Agreement, the Company issued 585,100 shares
of its common stock to the PBGC, or 35% of the total number of shares issued and
outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, and the Company has a right of first
refusal with respect to the sale of the shares of common stock owned by the
PBGC. In conjunction with the share issuance, the Company reduced the pension
liability to the PBGC based on the estimated fair market value of the shares
issued on the effective date of March 31, 1999. In accordance with the terms of
the PBGC Agreement, the Company was required to and has (i) decreased the size
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) to seven members; (ii)
caused a sufficient number of then current directors of the Company to resign
from the Board and all committees thereof; and (iii) caused three designees of
the PBGC, to be elected to the Board. The PBGC has caused the Company to amend
its By-laws (By-laws) to conform to the terms of the PBGC Agreement.
Furthermore, the Company agreed to pay the PBGC's reasonable professional fees
on the 90th day after a Release Event (as hereinafter defined). During the term
of the PBGC Agreement, the Company has agreed not to issue or agree to issue any
common stock of the Company or any "common stock equivalent" for less than fair
value (as determined by a majority of the Board). The Company also agreed not to
merge or consolidate with any other entity or sell, transfer or convey more than
50% of its property or assets without majority Board approval and agreed not to
amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Certificate) or
By-laws.

In order to satisfy and discharge the PBGC Liability, the PBGC Agreement
provides that the Company must either: (i) receive, in a single transaction or
in a series of related transactions, debt financing which makes available to the
Company at least $10 million of borrowings or (ii) consummate an acquisition, in
a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of assets and/or a
business where the purchase price (including funded debt assumed) is at least
$10 million (Release Event). If the 585,100 shares are disposed of by the PBGC
prior to a Release Event and the final satisfaction and discharge of the PBGC
liability, then the liability will be accreted by the estimated fair market
value, $1,024,000, of the shares issued to the PBGC.

Employees of Allis-Chalmers Corporation (the UAW Trust), and Firstar Trust
Company, as trustee under that certain Amended and Restated Retiree Health Trust
Agreement for Non-UAW Retired Employees of Allis-Chalmers Corporation (the
Non-UAW Trust) (the Lock-Up Agreement).

The Registration Rights Agreement grants each holder of Registrable Shares
(defined in the Registration Rights Agreement to basically mean the shares of
common stock issued to the PBGC under the PBGC Agreement) the right to have
their shares registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on
demand or incidental to a registration statement being filed by the Company. In
order to demand registration of Registrable Shares, a request for registration
by holders of not less than 20% of the Registrable Shares is necessary. The
Company may deny a request for registration of such shares if the Company
contemplates filing a registration statement within 90 days of receipt of notice
from the holders. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains provisions
that allow the Company to postpone the filing of any registration statement for
up to 180 days. The Registration Rights Agreement contains indemnification
language similar to that usually contained in agreements of this kind.

The Lock-Up Agreement governs the transfer and disposition of shares of the
Company's common stock and the voting of such shares, as well as grants the PBGC
a right of sale of its shares prior to AL-CH, the UAW Trust and the Non-UAW
Trust.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, unless the Board has terminated the common
stock transfer restrictions set forth in Article XIII of the Company's
Certificate, AL-CH, the UAW Trust and the Non-UAW Trust each agreed that, during
the period commencing on March 31, 1999 and ending on the third anniversary of
the Release Event, it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign
or dispose of any shares of Company stock it beneficially owns. Commencing with
the third anniversary of the Release Event and continuing until the fifth
anniversary of the Release Event, each of AL-CH, the UAW Trust and the Non-UAW
Trust agreed not to sell, transfer or dispose of any shares of Company stock
without first giving the PBGC an opportunity to sell all or any portion of the
shares of Company stock the PBGC owns. The foregoing right of the PBGC applies
to the sale of Company stock in a public offering or otherwise.

The Lock-Up Agreement also contains a voting component. During the term of the
Lock-Up Agreement, each party to the agreement agreed to vote, at any meeting of
the Company stockholders and in any written consent, all shares of Company stock
owned by it in favor of the election as directors of the Company the persons
nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board and to refrain from taking
any action contrary to or inconsistent with such obligation. During the term of
the Lock-Up Agreement, each party to the agreement further agreed not to vote
its shares of Company stock or take any other action to amend the Company's
Certificate or By-laws in a manner that is inconsistent with, or in breach of,
the PBGC Agreement. Each party further agreed that it will vote all of its
shares (i) in favor of certain specified amendments to the Company's
Certificate, (ii) for the election of the persons designated by the PBGC (each,
a PBGC Director) to serve on the Board and (iii) in favor of the election of
Company directors who are committed to cause, and who do cause, one PBGC
Director to be appointed to the Nominating Committee of the Board and one PBGC
Director to be appointed as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the
Board.

The acquisition environment has been unfavorable since the Investor's 1989 cash
contribution to the Company and remained very difficult for the Company during
2000. The problems continued to include the Company's lack of cash for
investment, limited availability of debt financing for acquisitions and the
financial exposure associated with the Consolidated Plan. Therefore, the Company
continues to proceed cautiously with its efforts to identify and evaluate
potential candidates for acquisition or other business combinations.

Results of Operations

Results of operations for 2000, 1999 and 1998 reflect the sole operation of the
business of Allis-Chalmers: the machine repair business, HDS.

Sales totaled $4.6 million in 2000, compared with $4.4 million in 1999 and $5.0
million in 1998. The increase in sales in 2000 from 1999 was due to slightly
better pricing on a better mix of products serviced.

Gross margins, as a percentage of sales, were 27.2%, 24.2% and 29.7% in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in 2000 was due to the better pricing
and continued cost reduction efforts.

Marketing and administrative expense was $1.4 million, $1.5 million and $1.7
million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Marketing and administrative
expense was 31.0% of sales in 2000 compared with 35.4% in 1999 and 33.6% in
1998. The decrease in marketing and administrative expense was due to reduced
corporate overhead and acquisition costs. There were additional costs incurred
in 1999 and 1998 in pursuit of corporate acquisitions and certain engineering
costs at HDS. A significant portion of the Company's administrative expense
continues to relate to expenses for Securities and Exchange Commission and other
governmental reporting as well as the legal, accounting and audit, insurance and
other requirements of a publicly held company.

Interest income in each of the years resulted mainly from earnings on short-term
investments. Interest expense primarily relates to a real estate loan, the
proceeds of which were used to purchase the shop and office building from which
HDS operates and additional financing for capital improvements at HDS.

The Company had a net loss of $189,000, or $.12 per common share in 2000,
compared with a net loss of $113,000, or $.08 per common share, in 1999 and net
income of $618,000, or $.62 per common share, in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2000, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling
$358,000, a decrease from $501,000 at December 31, 1999.

<PAGE>
13

Trade receivables at December 31, 2000 were $549,000, compared with $570,000 at
December 31, 1999.

Inventory at December 31, 2000 was $122,000, a decrease from $157,000 at year
end 1999. In 1999, inventory was unusually high as one job totaling
approximately $81,000 was not completed until January 2000.

Net property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2000 was $1,055,000, a
decrease from $1,170,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company purchased only
$35,000 of capital equipment during 2000 and has not purchased any significant
capital items since 1998. In 1998, approximately $234,000 was invested in
machinery and equipment acquisitions while approximately $119,000 was spent to
improve HDS's facilities (including air conditioning and upgrading its telephone
system). The expenditures for additional or upgrades of machinery and tooling
were necessary to reduce production costs by decreasing downtime and increasing
production efficiency output, helping to position the Company for further growth
through the increased capacity and service capabilities it offers to the
marketplace.

Current maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2000 were $212,000. The
majority of the current maturities represent payments on the real estate loan
refinanced by HDS in August 1996. The proceeds of the original loan were used in
1990 for the purchase of the land and building in which HDS operates its
business in Houston, Texas. The amount refinanced is required to be repaid in
monthly installments of $3,278 through August 20, 2001, when the remaining
unpaid balance is due. At December 31, 2000, the interest rate on the note was
11.5%. This rate is subject to adjustments during the term of the note in
accordance with increases or decreases in the prime rate. The note is
collateralized by the HDS facility (having a net book value of $421,000 at
December 31, 2000) and the Company's guaranty.

Trade accounts payable at December 31, 2000 were $208,000 a decrease from
$461,000 at December 31, 1999. During December 1999, our payables were higher
than normal due to timing fluctuations in the payment of vendor invoices.

Other current liabilities were $106,000 at December 31, 2000 a decrease from
$281,000 at December 31, 1999 due to a $128,000 decrease in the legal reserve as
well as a reduction in the accruals of the franchise tax and legal expense.

The Company's principal sources of cash include earnings from operations. The
cash requirements needed for the administrative expenses associated with being a
publicly held company are significant, and management believes that the Company
will continue to use a substantial portion of its cash balances generated by HDS
for these purposes in 2001.

The A-C Reorganization Trust, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, funds all
costs incurred by Allis-Chalmers which relate to implementation of the Plan of
Reorganization. Such costs include an allocated share of certain expenses for
Company employees, professional fees and certain other administrative expenses.

<PAGE>
14

The EPA and certain state environmental protection agencies have requested
information in connection with several potential hazardous waste disposal sites
in which products manufactured by Allis-Chalmers before consummation of the Plan
of Reorganization were disposed. The EPA has claimed that Allis-Chalmers is
liable for cleanup costs associated with several additional sites. In addition,
certain third parties have asserted that Allis-Chalmers is liable for cleanup
costs or associated EPA fines in connection with additional sites. In each
instance the environmental claims asserted against the Company involve its
prebankruptcy operations. Accordingly, Allis-Chalmers has taken the position
that all cleanup costs or other liabilities related to these sites were
discharged in the bankruptcy. No environmental claims have been asserted against
the Company involving its postbankruptcy operations.

Future Accounting Changes

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133". This issuance delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 for the
Company until the first quarter of 2001. SFAS 133 requires all derivative
instruments, as defined by the statement, to be recorded on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value, and any change in fair value to
be recorded within net income or comprehensive income. The adoption of this
statement will not have a material effect on our net earnings or financial
position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Allis-Chalmers Corporation

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Allis-Chalmers Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in
our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit 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 our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's application for
a distress termination of the Allis-Chalmers Consolidated Pension Plan (the
"Consolidated Plan") was approved by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
("PBGC") on September 30, 1997. At such date, the PBGC became the trustee of the
Consolidated Plan and the Company and its subsidiaries incurred an estimated
liability to the PBGC for unfunded benefit liabilities and accumulated funding
deficiencies totaling approximately $68 million. Effective March 31, 1999, the
Company issued 585,100 shares to the PBGC reducing the pension liability by the
estimated fair market value of the shares to approximately $67 million. The
Company does not have the financial resources to fund this liability to the
PBGC. This matter raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are
described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. EMERGENCE FROM CHAPTER 11

Allis-Chalmers Corporation (Allis-Chalmers or the Company) emerged from Chapter
11 proceedings on October 31, 1988 under a plan of reorganization which was
consummated on December 2, 1988. The Company was thereby discharged of all debts
that arose before confirmation of its First Amended and Restated Joint Plan of
Reorganization (Plan of Reorganization), and all of its capital stock was
cancelled and made eligible for exchange for shares of common stock of the
reorganized Company (Common Stock).

Claims asserted against the Company and allowed by the Bankruptcy Court beyond
those recorded prior to the consummation date amounted to approximately $483
million. Such amounts were subsequently recorded by the Company in 1988. Because
total recorded liabilities discharged at consummation exceeded the book value of
assets and Common Stock distributed to creditors and the various trusts at that
date, extraordinary income of $388.1 million was recorded.

See the Plan of Reorganization and the First Amended Disclosure Statement dated
September 14, 1988 for additional information regarding distributions to holders
of claims and interests.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Allis-Chalmers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Houston Dynamic Service,
Inc., services and repairs various types of mechanical equipment, including
compressors, pumps, turbines, engines, heat exchangers, centrifuges, rollers,
gears, valves, blowers, kilns, crushers and mills.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allis-Chalmers and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The adoption
of SAB 101 did not have a significant impact on revenue recognized by the
Company.

<PAGE>
21

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Condition for cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables, trade accounts payable, and long-term debt
approximate fair market value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in,
first-out method, or market.

Properties and Depreciation

Plant and equipment used in the business are stated at cost and depreciated on
the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which
generally range from 40 years for buildings, 3 to 12 years for machinery and
equipment and 3 to 12 years for tools, patterns, furniture and fixtures.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures which
significantly increase asset values or extend useful lives are capitalized.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Measurement of any impairment losses are recognized based on the estimated fair
value of the asset.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined on the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 (See Note 5).

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Major Customers

Entergy accounted for 25% of sales and Amoco Chemical 14% of sales in 2000. In
1999, Entergy accounted for 13% of total sales and in 1998, Amoco Chemical
accounted for 24% of total sales.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will
result in differences between income for tax purposes and income for financial
statement purposes in future years. A valuation allowance is established for
deferred tax assets when management, based upon available information, considers
it more likely than not that a benefit from such assets will not be realized.

The following table depicts the temporary differences as of December 31, 2000
and 1999:

2000 1999
-------- --------
(millions)

Net future tax deductible items $ 35 $ 35
Net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits 112 123
Valuation allowance (147) (158)
-------- --------

Net deferred taxes $ - $ -
======== ========

Net future tax deductible items relate primarily to estimated future bankruptcy
claim payments to be made by the Company's two grantor trusts. Gross deferred
tax liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are not material.

<PAGE>
23

The Plan of Reorganization established the A-C Reorganization Trust to settle
claims and to make distributions to creditors and certain shareholders. The
Company transferred cash and certain other property to the A-C Reorganization
Trust on December 2, 1988. Payments made by the Company to the A-C
Reorganization Trust did not generate tax deductions for the Company upon the
transfer but generate deductions for the Company as payments are made by the A-C
Reorganization Trust to holders of claims.

The Plan of Reorganization also created a trust to process and liquidate product
liability claims. Payments made by the A-C Reorganization Trust to the product
liability trust did not generate current tax deductions for the Company. Future
deductions will be available to the Company as the product liability trust makes
payments to liquidate claims.

The Company believes the above-named trusts are grantor trusts and therefore
includes the income or loss of these trusts in the Company's income or loss for
tax purposes, resulting in an adjustment of the tax basis of net operating and
capital loss carryforwards. The income or loss of these trusts is not included
in the Company's results of operations for financial reporting purposes.

Tax carryforwards at December 31, 2000 are estimated to consist of net operating
losses of $319 million expiring 2001 through 2019, investment tax credits of
$16,000 expiring in 2001 and energy tax credits of $141,000 expiring 2001
through 2002.

During 1990, the Company initiated litigation against the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York, challenging the validity and retroactive applicability of proposed
regulations issued by the IRS on August 13, 1990. On January 2, 1992 the IRS
issued final regulations under Sections 269 and 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 relating to the use of net operating loss carryforwards following
corporate reorganizations under the Bankruptcy Code.

Following issuance of the final regulations the Company withdrew its
retroactivity challenge because the final regulations were made retroactive only
to August 14, 1990 and are not applicable to a plan of reorganization that was
completed before then. The Company's Plan of Reorganization was consummated on
December 2, 1988. The Company, however, continued to challenge the validity of
other provisions of the regulations.

On June 8, 1992, the Bankruptcy Court issued a decision denying the Company's
motion for a judgment against the IRS with respect to the application of Section
269 of the IRS Code to the Company. The Court also granted the IRS's motion to
dismiss the Company's complaint challenging the regulations. The Court entered
judgment pursuant to its decision on June 29, 1992 and, consistent with the
advice of its counsel, the Company decided not to appeal that judgment.

Although the Company was unable to obtain a judgment that would have prevented
the IRS from applying Section 269 to the Company, the Court's ruling leaves the
Company in substantially the same position it was in prior to issuance of the
final regulations. The possibility of an IRS challenge under Section 269 of the
Internal Revenue Code to the Company's use of its
<PAGE>
24

prepetition net operating loss carryforwards has always existed and, in light of
the Court's ruling, that possibility continues to exist.

The Court, however, stated that, should the IRS ever seek to use its new Section
269 regulations to limit the Company's use of its net operating loss
carryforwards, nothing in its opinion would prejudice the Company's right to
defend itself by using the Court's confirmation finding that the primary purpose
of the Company's Plan of Reorganization was not tax avoidance. While the
Company's Common Stock is subject to trading restrictions which are designed to
maximize the likelihood of preserving its net operating loss carryforwards, a
change in ownership of the Company could also limit the use of its net operating
loss carryforwards.

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

During March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved an arrangement to
compensate former and continuing Directors who had served from 1989 to March 31,
1999 without compensation. The Company issued promissory notes in the amount of
$25,000 each to seven current or former directors and $150,000 to John T.
Grigsby, Jr., a former director and current Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. The notes bear interest, payable in-kind, at five percent
(5%) and are due March 28, 2005, however, may be prepaid at any time at the
discretion of the Company. In addition, the notes are canceled in the event of a
subsequent bankruptcy of the Company.

The real estate loan relates to the 1990 purchase of the land and building in
Houston, Texas which had previously been leased by HDS. In August 1996, HDS
refinanced this loan which is required to be repaid in monthly installments of
$3,278 through August 20, 2001 when the remaining unpaid balance is due. At
December 31, 2000 and 1999, the interest rate on the loan was 11.5% and 10.5%,
respectively. The rate will be adjusted during the term of the loan in
accordance with increases or decreases in the prime rate. The loan is
collateralized by the HDS facility, ( having a net book value of $421,000 at
December 31, 2000) and the Company's guaranty.

Obligations under capital lease arrangements totaled $39,000 and $50,000 at 2000
and 1999, respectively.

<PAGE>
25

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT

During 1999, the Company issued 585,100 shares of common stock to the PBGC (See
Note 9). This transaction was recorded as an increase in common stock and
capital in excess of par value of $86,000 and $938,000, respectively, and a
reduction of the accrued pension liability of $1,024,000.

NOTE 8. LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company's Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (1989) provides for the grant of
stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock,
restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Under the plan the maximum
number of shares which may be granted with respect to stock-based awards is
50,000. Options may be granted at prices equal to or not less than the fair
market value at date of grant, except that options to purchase up to 13,333
shares may be granted at a price which is not less than the fair market value on
October 25, 1989, the date on which the plan was approved by shareholders.
Options are exercisable within a period not to exceed 10 years from date of
grant. The plan also provides for the discretionary grant of stock appreciation
rights which allow the holder to receive, in cash or shares of common stock, the
difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at
the date of exercise. No stock options or stock appreciation rights have been
granted to date under this plan.

As is discussed in Note 11, the Company's Board of Directors granted 24,000
stock options during 2000 which are not subject to this plan.

obligations with its current financial resources, in February 1997,
Allis-Chalmers applied to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) for a
"distress" termination of the Consolidated Plan under section 4041(c) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The PBGC
approved the distress termination application in September 1997 and agreed to a
plan termination date of April 14, 1997. The PBGC became trustee of the
terminated Consolidated Plan on September 30, 1997.

Upon termination of the Consolidated Plan, Allis-Chalmers and its subsidiaries
incurred a liability to the PBGC for an amount equal to the Consolidated Plan's
unfunded benefit liabilities. Allis-Chalmers and its subsidiaries also have a
liability to the PBGC, as trustee of the terminated Consolidated Plan, for the
outstanding balance of the Consolidated Plan's accumulated funding deficiencies.
As of September 30, 1997, the PBGC estimated that the unfunded benefit
liabilities and the accumulated funding deficiencies (together, the PBGC
Liability) totaled approximately $67.9 million. Effective March 31, 1999, the
Company issued 585,100 shares of common stock reducing the pension liability by
the estimated fair market value of the shares to $66.9 million.

Prior to its termination, the Consolidated Plan had an accumulated funding
deficiency in the taxable years 1995, 1996, and 1997. Those deficiencies
resulted in estimated first-tier taxes under Code section 4971(a) of
approximately $900,000. On July 16, 1998, the Company and the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) reached an agreement in principal to settle the Company's tax
liability under Code Section 4971 for $75,000. Following final IRS approval,
payment of this amount was made on August 11, 1998 and a gain of $825,000 was
recorded as other income in the accompanying 1998 Statement of Operations.

In June 1999, but effective as of March 31, 1999, the Company and the PBGC
entered into an agreement for the settlement of the PBGC Liability (the PBGC
Agreement).

<PAGE>
27

PBGC Agreement, the Company was required to and has (i) decreased the size of
the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) to seven members; (ii) caused
a sufficient number of then current directors of the Company to resign from the
Board and all committees thereof; and (iii) caused three designees of the PBGC,
to be elected to the Board. The PBGC has caused the Company to amend its By-laws
(By-laws) to conform to the terms of the PBGC Agreement. Furthermore, the
Company agreed to pay the PBGC's reasonable professional fees on the 90th day
after a Release Event (as hereinafter defined). During the term of the PBGC
Agreement, the Company has agreed not to issue or agree to issue any common
stock of the Company or any "common stock equivalent" for less than fair value
(as determined by a majority of the Board). The Company also agreed not to merge
or consolidate with any other entity or sell, transfer or convey more than 50%
of its property or assets without majority Board approval and agreed not to
amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Certificate) or
By-laws.

In order to satisfy and discharge the PBGC Liability, the PBGC Agreement
provides that the Company must either: (i) receive, in a single transaction or
in a series of related transactions, debt financing which makes available to the
Company at least $10 million of borrowings or (ii) consummate an acquisition, in
a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of assets and/or a
business where the purchase price (including funded debt assumed) is at least
$10 million (Release Event). The Company continues to pursue various strategic
alternatives to facilitate the consummation of a Release Event. If the 585,100
shares are disposed of by the PBGC prior to a Release Event and the final
satisfaction and discharge of the PBGC Liability, the liability will be accreted
by the estimated fair market value, $1,024,000, of the shares issued to the
PBGC.

In connection with the PBGC Agreement, and as additional consideration for
settling the PBGC Liability, the following agreements, each dated as of March
31, 1999 were also entered into: (i) a Registration Rights Agreement between the
Company and the PBGC (the Registration Rights Agreement); and (ii) a Lock-Up
Agreement by and among the Company, the PBGC, AL-CH Company, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (AL-CH), Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee under that certain
Amended and Restated Retiree Health Trust Agreement for UAW Retired Employees of
Allis-Chalmers Corporation (the UAW Trust), and Firstar Trust Company, as
trustee under that certain Amended and Restated Retiree Health Trust Agreement
for Non-UAW Retired Employees of Allis-Chalmers Corporation (the Non-UAW Trust)
(the Lock-Up Agreement).

Medical and Life

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company assumed the contractual
obligation to Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc. (SMI) to reimburse SMI for 50% of
the actual cost of medical and life insurance claims for a select group of
retirees (SMI Retirees) of the prior Simplicity Manufacturing Division of
Allis-Chalmers.

Net postretirement benefit expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998 included the following components (in thousands):

The change in benefit obligation and plan assets and reconciliation of funded

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was assumed to be 7.5% for 2001. The assumed
rate decreases each year until an ultimate rate of 5.0% is reached at December
31, 2006. The health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, a one percentage point increase in the health
care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by approximately $24,000 at December 31, 2000. The discount rate used
in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% at
December 31, 2000 and 7.25% at December 31, 1999.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Substantially all litigation proceedings pending against the Company were
resolved pursuant to emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings in 1988. Various
loans, lease agreements and other commitments and contractual obligations of the
Company were also satisfied pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Company
knows of no significant pre-Plan of Reorganization lawsuits presently pending
against it or its subsidiaries which have not been assumed by the various trusts
or other entities.

<PAGE>
30

The Company is a party to litigation matters and claims, which are normal in the
course of its operations, and, while the results of litigation and claims cannot
be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position.

Environmental Matters

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and certain state environmental
protection agencies have requested information in connection with several
potential hazardous waste disposal sites in which products manufactured by
Allis-Chalmers before consummation of the Plan of Reorganization were disposed.
The EPA has claimed that Allis-Chalmers is liable for cleanup costs associated
with several additional sites. In addition, certain third parties have asserted
that Allis-Chalmers is liable for cleanup costs or associated EPA fines in
connection with additional sites. In each instance the environmental claims
asserted against the Company involve its prebankruptcy operations. Accordingly,
Allis-Chalmers has taken the position that all cleanup costs or other
liabilities related to these sites were discharged in the bankruptcy. No
environmental claims have been asserted against the Company involving its
postbankruptcy operations.

Allis-Chalmers Consolidated Pension Plan

Contributions to the Consolidated Plan were required starting in 1996 due to a
change in the mortality assumptions used in calculating the present value of the
pension benefits expected to be paid and the assumptions used in calculating the
future administrative expenses compared with the projections of the mortality
and administrative expense assumptions used in the Plan of Reorganization for
funding the Consolidated Plan. Contributions were projected to be $2.5 million
in 1996, then increasing to $3.1 million in 1997 and $8.1 million in 1998. After
paying one installment of $205,000 on January 15, 1996, the Company failed to
make any subsequent payments. The Company's failure to make required quarterly
contributions starting in April 1996, resulted in the filing of a lien by the
PBGC against the Company. Given the inability of the Company to fund such
obligations with its current financial resources, in February 1997,
Allis-Chalmers applied to the PBGC for a "distress" termination of the
Consolidated Plan under section 4041(c) of ERISA. The PBGC approved the distress
termination application in September 1997 and agreed to a plan termination date
of April 14, 1997. The PBGC became trustee of the terminated Consolidated Plan
on September 30, 1997.

For additional information regarding the Consolidated Plan, see Note 9.

NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As is discussed in Note 6, during 2000, the Company's Board of Directors issued
promissory notes totaling $325,000 as compensation to certain current and former
Directors. This transaction is reflected as marketing and administrative expense
of $325,000 in the accompanying 2000 Statement

<PAGE>
31

of Operations. The Company's Board of Directors did not receive any compensation
for their services as executive officers of the Company for the period April 1,
1999 through December 31, 2000.

In conjunction with the promissory notes issued to certain current and former
Directors, the Company's Board of Directors also granted stock options to these
same individuals. Options to purchase 24,000 shares of common stock were granted
with an exercise price of $2.75. These options vested immediately and may be
exercised any time prior to March 28, 2010. During 2000, no stock options were
exercised. No compensation expense has been recorded for these options which
were issued with an exercise price approximately equal to the fair value of the
common stock at the date of grant. These stock options were not dilutive to the
Company's net loss per share in 2000. Had compensation expense for options
granted during 2000 been determined based on option fair value at the grant
date, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation",
the effect on the Company's net loss during 2000 would not have been material.

During 1999, Allis-Chalmers received payments totaling $400,000 as reimbursement
for expenditures the Company incurred in prior years on behalf of the A-C
Reorganization Trust. These payments are included as other income in the
accompanying Statement of Operations.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, as well as beneficial owners of 10% or more of
the Company's Common Stock, to file reports concerning their ownership of
Company equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Company. Based solely upon information provided to the Company and by individual
directors, executive officers and such beneficial owners, the Company believes
that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 all its directors, executive
officers and beneficial owners of 10% or more of its Common Stock complied with
the Section 16(a) filing requirements.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
- --------------------------------

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

No executive officer earned in excess of $100,000 in 2000.

LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company's Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (1989), adopted by the shareholders
at the 1989 shareholders meeting, provides for grants to officers and key
employees of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares,
restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock- based awards. The
maximum number of shares which may be granted with respect to stock- based
awards is 50,000. Options to purchase shares may be granted at prices equal to
not less than the fair market value at the date of grant, except that options to
purchase up to 13,333 shares may be granted at a price which is not less than
the fair market value on October 25, 1989, the date on which the Stock Incentive
Plan was approved by shareholders. Options are exercisable within a period not
to exceed 10 years from date of grant. The Plan also provides for the
discretionary grant of stock appreciation rights which allow the holder to
receive in cash or shares of common stock the difference between the exercise
price and the fair market value of the stock at the date of exercise. No stock
options or stock appreciation rights have been granted to date under this plan.

The Company's Board of Directors granted 24,000 stock options during 2000 which
are not subject to this plan.

<PAGE>
36

RETIREMENT PLAN

The Consolidated Plan covered 4 active employees at the beginning of 2000. The
Consolidated Plan is a tax qualified defined benefit pension plan. Effective
March 31, 1987, the Consolidated Plan was capped and frozen, without further
increase in benefits provided by the Company after that date.

The retirement benefits paid under this plan are before any adjustment for a
surviving spouse's pension and are not subject to Social Security offset or
other deductions.

SAVINGS PLAN

The Company's Savings Plan was initiated in 1968. The Savings Plan permits the
Company to contribute in its discretion cash or stock to participants' accounts.
However, on June 1, 1985, the Company discontinued contributions to the Savings
Plan.

Due to the significant administrative costs associated with the Savings Plan, on
December 22, 1997, the Company filed an Application for Determination for
Terminating the Savings Plan with the IRS. The participants in the Savings Plan
were notified of the termination which became effective September 20, 1998, at
which time all funds had been withdrawn from the Savings Plan.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

On March 31, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors decided to establish an
arrangement by which to compensate former and continuing Board members who had
served from 1989 to March 31, 1999 without compensation. The Company issued
promissory notes in the amount of $25,000 each to seven current or former
directors and $150,000 to John T. Grigsby, Jr. a former director and current
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The notes bear interest,
payable in-kind, at the rate of five percent (5%) and are due March 28, 2005,
however, may be prepaid at any time at the discretion of the Company. In
addition, the notes are canceled in the event of a subsequent bankruptcy of the
Company.

In addition, the Board granted options to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's
common stock to the seven directors and an option to purchase 10,000 shares to
Mr. Grigsby. The option price was determined to be $2.75 per share. The options
vested immediately and may be exercised any time prior to March 28, 2010.
