F-1 2 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Alamo Group Inc., which includes its subsidiaries ("Alamo Group," "Alamo" or the "Company"), is a leading manufacturer of high quality equipment for right-of-way maintenance and agriculture. Our products include tractor-mounted mowing and other vegetation maintenance equipment, street sweepers, agricultural implements and related after market parts and services. The Company believes it is one of a few vegetation maintenance equipment manufacturers offering a comprehensive product line that employs the three primary heavy-duty cutting technologies: rotary, flail and sickle-bar. The Company emphasizes high quality, cost effective products for its customers and strives to develop and market innovative products while constantly monitoring and containing its manufacturing and overhead costs. The Company has a long-standing strategy of supplementing its internal growth through acquisitions of businesses or product lines that currently command, or have the potential to achieve, a leading share of their niche markets. The predecessor corporation to the Company was incorporated in Texas in 1969 as successor to a business that began selling mowing equipment in 1955. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. As used herein and otherwise required by the context, the terms "Alamo Group" and "the Company" shall mean Alamo Group Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Since its founding in 1969, the Company has focused on satisfying customer needs through geographic market expansion, product development and refinement and selected acquisitions. The Company's first products were based on the rotary cutting technology. Through acquisitions, the Company added flail cutting technology in 1983 and sickle-bar technology in 1984. The Company added to its presence in the industrial and governmental markets with the acquisition of Tiger Corporation ("TIGER") at the end of 1994. A major thrust into agricultural mowing markets began in 1986 with the acquisition of Rhino Products ("RHINO"), a leading manufacturer in this field. With this acquisition, the Company embarked on an aggressive strategy to increase the RHINO dealer network during a period of industry contraction. Distribution network expansion and integration where appropriate remains a primary focus of the Company's marketing plans for agricultural and industrial uses. The addition of M&W GEAR COMPANY ("M&W") in early 1995 allowed the Company to enter into the manufacturing and distribution of hay-making equipment that complements the RHINO distribution system. M&W has been integrated into the agricultural marketing group utilizing the same sales force to cross sell RHINO and M&W products. In late 1995 the Company expanded its business in the agricultural market with the acquisition of Herschel Corporation ("HERSCHEL"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of farm equipment replacement and wear parts. In addition, the Company has concentrated on developing new products, which meet the needs of its niche market customers and on adapting its existing products to serve other applications. In 1991, the Company began its international expansion with the acquisition of McConnel Ltd. ("MCCONNEL), a United Kingdom ("U.K.") manufacturer of vegetation maintenance equipment, principally hydraulic boom-mounted hedge and grass cutters and related parts. Bomford-Turner Ltd. ("BOMFORD"), also a U.K. company, was acquired in 1993. BOMFORD is a manufacturer of heavy duty, tractor-mounted grass and hedge mowing equipment. In 1994, the Company acquired S.M.A S.A. ("SMA") located in Orleans, France. S.M.A. manufacturers and sells principally a line of heavy duty, tractor-mounted grass and hedge mowing equipment and associated replacement parts to departments of the French government. This acquisition along with smaller ones made in France and the Netherlands, when combined with MCCONNEL and BOMFORD, has made the Company one of the largest manufacturers in the European market for the kind of equipment sold by the Company. On February 29, 2000, the Company acquired Schwarze Industries, Inc. ("SCHWARZE"). SCHWARZE is a manufacturer of a broad range of street sweeping equipment, which is sold to governmental agencies, and contractors. The Company believes the SCHWARZE sweeper products fit the Company's strategy of identifying product offerings with brand recognition in the industrial markets the Company serves. 3 On September 8, 2000, the Company purchased the product line and associated assets of Twose of Tiverton LTD ("TWOSE") in the U.K. and incorporated its production into the existing facilities at MCCONNELL and BOMFORD. TWOSE was a small regional manufacturer of power arm flail mowers and parts, as well as harrows and rollers, which solidified the Company's market leadership position in the U.K. On November 6, 2000, the Company acquired SCHULTE INDUSTRIES, LTD. ("SCHULTE") and its related entities. SCHULTE is a Canadian manufacturer of mechanical rotary mowers, snow blowers, and rock removal equipment. SCHULTE brought the Company a stronger Canadian presence including both marketing and manufacturing. It also expanded the Company's range of large heavy-duty rotary mowers. On August 14, 2001, the Company acquired all of the assets of SMC Corporation ("SMC"). SMC manufactures front-end loaders and backhoes principally for Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") customers and its own SMC brand. This acquisition expanded the product range of our agricultural division. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1502 East Walnut, Seguin, Texas 78155, and its telephone number is (830) 379-1480. MARKETING AND MARKETING STRATEGY The Company's products are sold through the Company's various marketing organizations, and extensive, world-wide dealer networks under the ALAMO INDUSTRIAL(R), TIGER(TM), SCHWARZE(TM), RHINO(R), M&W(R), HERSCHEL-ADAMS(R), SCHULTE(TM), MCCONNEL(R), BOMFORD(R), S.M.A.(R) , TWOSE(TM) and other trademarks and tradE names. ALAMO INDUSTRIAL equipment is principally sold to governmental end-users and, to a lesser extent, to the agricultural market and commercial turf market. Governmental agencies and contractors that perform services for such agencies purchase primarily hydraulically-powered, tractor-mounted mowers, including boom-mounted mowers, other types of cutters and replacement parts for heavy-duty, intensive use applications including the maintenance of highway, airport, recreational and other public areas. A portion of ALAMO INDUSTRIAL sales includes tractors, which are not manufactured by ALAMO INDUSTRIAL. Municipal Park agencies, golf courses and landscape maintenance contractors purchase certain ALAMO INDUSTRIAL mowers that deliver a fine manicured cut. TIGER equipment includes heavy-duty, tractor-mounted mowing and vegetation maintenance equipment and replacement parts.. TIGER sells to state, county and local governmental entities through a network of dealers. In many cases, TIGER'S larger dealers' principal product line is TIGER equipment. TIGER'S dealership network is independent of ALAMO INDUSTRIAL'S dealership network. SCHWARZE equipment includes air, mechanical broom, and regenerative air sweepers along with a high-efficiency environmental sweeper and replacement parts. SCHWARZE primarily sells its products to governmental agencies and independent contractors. The Company believes that SCHWARZE compliments Alamo INDUSTRIAL because the end user for both products in many cases is the same. In 2001, the ALAMO INDUSTRIAL territory managers began marketing SCHWARZE products along with ALAMO INDUSTRIAL products in Mexico and other Latin American countries. In the first half of 2002, the dealer sales force of ALAMO INDUSTRIAL and SCHWARZE will be combined into ALAMO INDUSTRIAL and trained to cross-sell products. This combination will strengthen both the marketing and geographical areas for the Company. RHINO and M&W equipment is generally sold to farmers and ranchers to clear brush, maintain pastures and unused farmland, shred crops and for haymaking. It is also sold to other customers, such as mowing contractors and construction contractors, for non-agricultural purposes. RHINO equipment consists principally of a comprehensive line of tractor-powered equipment, including rotary cutters, finishing mowers, flail mowers and disc mowers. RHINO also sells posthole diggers, scraper blades and replacement parts for all RHINO equipment. Farm equipment dealers play the primary role in the sale of RHINO equipment. M&W haymaking equipment uses a fixed chamber, round bale technology. A portion of the RHINO product line is also sold through MCCONNEL'S network of agricultural tractor dealers in the U.K. SCHULTE equipment includes heavy-duty mechanical rotary mowers, snow blowers, rock removal equipment and related replacement parts. SCHULTE serves both the agricultural and industrial markets primarily in Canada and the U.S. The Company has plans for market synergies in Canada for both TIGER and RHINO product lines with expectation of broadening product offerings to the existing customer base. SCHULTE sells some of its products through BOMFORD in the U.K and other independent distributors throughout the world. 4 SMC equipment includes a broad line of front-end loaders and backhoes that fit many tractors on the market today. The majority of the products are sold to OEM's. In the fall of 2001, the Company introduced RHINO(R) branded loaders and backhoes to be sold through its agricultural dealer network. In addition, the SMC backhoe line will be manufactured at the Company's M&W facility in Gibson City, Illinois beginning in the first half of 2002 to relieve capacity constraints at SMC'S Sioux Falls, South Dakota manufacturing facility. HERSCHEL-ADAMS replacement parts are sold for many types of tillage equipment and tractors and certain types of mowing and construction equipment. HERSCHEL-ADAMS products include a wide range of cutting parts; chromium carbide treated hard-faced and plain replacement tillage tools, disc blades and fertilizer application components. HERSCHEL-ADAMS replacement tools are sold throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico to five major customer groups: farm equipment dealers, fleet stores, wholesale distributors, original equipment manufacturers and construction equipment dealers. MCCONNEL equipment principally includes a line of hydraulic, boom-mounted hedge and grass cutters, as well as other tractor attachments and implements such as hydraulic backhoes, cultivators, subsoilers, buckets and other digger implements and replacement parts. MCCONNEL also sells turf maintenance equipment to the golf course and leisure markets. MCCONNEL equipment is sold primarily in the U.K. and France, and to a lesser extent in other parts of Europe, Australia, and in North America through the Company's dealers as well as independent dealers and distributors. MCCONNEL primarily focuses on the agricultural and commercial end-user. MCCONNEL products are sold in the U.K. through a network of agricultural tractor dealers, with exports sold primarily through distributors. BOMFORD equipment includes hydraulic, boom-mounted hedge and hedgerow cutters, industrial grass mowers, agricultural seedbed preparation cultivators and replacement parts. BOMFORD equipment is sold to governmental agencies, contractors and agricultural end-users in the U.K. and France and to a lesser extent Germany, Scandinavia, other countries in Europe, North America, Australia and the Far East. BOMFORD'S sales network is very similar to that of MCCONNEL in the U.K. RHINO and TIGER sell some of BOMFORD'S product line in the U.S. SMA equipment includes hydraulic, boom-mounted hedge and hedgerow cutters and associated replacement parts. SMA'S principal customers are French local authorities. SMA'S product offerings were expanded in 1994 to include certain quick-attach boom mowers manufactured by the Company in the U.K. to expand its presence in agricultural dealerships. In addition to the sales of HERSCHEL-ADAMS replacement parts, the Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from sales of replacement parts for each of its whole goods lines. Replacement parts represented approximately 25% of the Company's total sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. Replacement parts are more profitable and generally less cyclical than wholegoods. While the Company believes that the end-users of its products evaluate the purchase of such products on the basis of price and product quality, such purchases are also based on a dealer's service, support and loyalty to the dealer based on previous purchases as well as other factors such as availability. Demand for product tends to be strongest in the spring and summer seasons. The Company provides incentives for off-season purchases for many of its products, including discounts, as a way to even out seasonal variations in its manufacturing cycles. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company's ability to provide innovative responses to customer needs, to develop and manufacture new products, and to enhance existing product lines is important to its success. The Company continually conducts research and development activities in an effort to improve existing products and develop new products. As of December 31, 2001 the Company employed 109 people in its various engineering departments, 42 of whom are professionals and the balance of whom are support staff. Amounts expended on research and development activities were approximately $2,405,000 in 2001, $2,396,000 in 2000, and $1,722,000 in 1999. As a percent of sales Research and Development was 1.0% in 2001, 1.1% in 2000, and 1.0% in 1999 respectively and is expected to continue at similar levels in 2002. 5 SEASONALITY In general, the vegetation maintenance equipment industry tends to follow the seasonal buying patterns of its major customers with peak sales occurring in the second and third quarters. Agricultural and governmental end-users typically purchase new equipment during the first and second calendar quarters. Weather conditions and general economic conditions, however, may affect the timing of these purchases. In order to achieve efficient utilization of manpower and facilities throughout the year, the Company estimates seasonal demand months in advance, and equipment is manufactured in anticipation of such demand. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve month sales forecast provided by the Company's marketing divisions and order backlog in order to develop a production plan for its manufacturing facilities. Additionally, many of the Company's marketing divisions attempt to equalize demand for its products throughout the calendar year by offering seasonal sales programs which may provide additional incentives on equipment that is ordered during off-season periods. COMPETITION The Company's products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. The principal competitive factors are price, quality, availability, service and reputation. The Company competes with several large national and international companies that offer a broad range of agricultural equipment and replacement parts, as well as numerous small manufacturers and suppliers of a limited number of products. However, the Company has fewer competitors in wide-swath and boom-mounted mowing equipment within the governmental niche. Some of the Company's competitors are significantly larger than the Company and have substantially greater financial and other resources at their disposal. The Company believes that it is able to compete successfully in its markets by containing its manufacturing costs, offering high quality products, developing and designing innovative products and, to some extent, avoiding direct competition with significantly larger competitors. There can be no assurance that such competitors will not substantially increase the resources devoted to the development and marketing of products competitive with those of the Company. The Company believes that within the U.S. it is the largest supplier within governmental markets for its kind of equipment, a major supplier in the U.S. agricultural market for such equipment and one of the largest suppliers in the European market for such equipment. UNFILLED ORDERS As of December 31, 2001, the Company had unfilled customer orders of $40,649,000 compared to $44,269,000 at the end of 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to soft market conditions in the agricultural markets served by the Company. Management expects that substantially all of the Company's backlog as of December 31, 2001 will be shipped during fiscal year 2002. The amount of unfilled orders at a particular time is affected by a number of factors, including the scheduling of manufacturing and shipping of the product, which in most instances are dependent on the Company's seasonal sales programs and the requests of its customers. Certain of the Company's orders are subject to cancellation any time before shipment; therefore, a comparison of unfilled orders from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of future actual shipments. SOURCES OF SUPPLY The Company through its subsidiaries purchases tractors, truck chassis and engines as well as steel, gearboxes, drivelines, hydraulic components and other industrial parts and supplies. During 2001, these products were readily available from a variety of sources in adequate quantities and at prevailing market rates. A number of the Company's products are mounted and shipped with a tractor. Tractors are generally available, but some delays in receiving tractors have been experienced during the year. No single supplier is responsible for supplying more than 10% of the principal raw materials used by the Company. While the Company manufactures many of the parts for its products, a significant percentage of parts, including most drive lines, gear boxes and hydraulic pumps and motors, are purchased from outside suppliers which manufacture to the Company's specifications. Approximately 15% of the aggregate dollar amount of parts purchased by the Company's U.S. operations are imported. 6 PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company owns various U.S. and international patents. While the Company considers its patents to be advantageous to its business, it is not dependent on any single patent or group of patents. The Company amortizes approximately $132,000 annually in patents and trademarks. Products manufactured by the Company are advertised and sold under numerous trademarks. ALAMO INDUSTRIAL(R), RHINO(R), M&W(R), FUERST(R), MCCONNEL(R), BOMFORD(R), SMA(R), TIGER(TM), SCHULTE(TM), TWOSE(TM) and HERSCHEL-ADAMS(R) TRADEmarKs ARE the primary marks for the Company's products. The Company also owns other trademarks, which it uses to a lesser extent such as TERRAIN KING(R), TRIUMPH(R), MOTT(R), TURNER(R), and DANDL(R). Management believes that the Company'S trademarks are well known in its markets and are valuable and that their value is increasing with the development of its business. The Company vigorously protects its trademarks against infringement and believes it has applied for or registered its trademarks in the appropriate jurisdictions. ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations concerning air emissions, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and the Company believes it is currently in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect that changes to such laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Like other industrial concerns, the Company's manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred by the Company as a result thereof. The Company knows that the Indianola, Iowa property on which its Herschel facility operates is contaminated with chromium. The contamination likely resulted from chrome-plating operations which were discontinued several years before the Company purchased the property. The Company is working with an environmental consultant, the previous owner of the property, and the state of Iowa to develop and implement a plan to remediate the contamination. All present and future remediation costs have been or should be paid by the previous owner of the property pursuant to the agreement by which the Company purchased said property. However, the successor to the previous owner is in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings and we have no way of knowing at this time if or when they will be able to meet their contractual obligations. The amount of potential liability cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is subject to various other federal, state, and local laws affecting its business, as well as a variety of regulations relating to such matters as working conditions, equal employment opportunities and product safety. A variety of state laws regulate the Company's contractual relationships with its dealers, some of which impose substantive standards on the relationship between the Company and its dealers, including events of default, grounds for termination, non-renewal of dealer contracts and equipment repurchase requirements. The Company believes it is currently in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2001, the Company employed 1,652 full-time employees. The HERSCHEL AND SMC facilities in the U.S. have collective bargaining agreements, which cover approximately 60 and 149 employees respectively, and the two U.K. subsidiaries, MCCONNEL and BOMFORD, also have collective bargaining agreements covering 170 persons. The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION See Note 13 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On January 4, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $.06 per share which was paid on February 5, 2002, to holders of record as of January 18, 2002. The Company expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends as they depend on future earnings, capital requirements and financial condition. In addition, the payment of dividends is subject to restrictions under the Company's bank revolving credit agreement. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further description of the bank revolving credit agreement. 11 ITEM 6.

12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 The Company's net sales in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 ("2001") were $246,047,000, an increase of $30,173,000 or 14.0% compared to $215,874,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 ("2000"). The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of SMC on August 14, 2001 as well as a full year of SCHULTE revenue in 2001 and to a lesser extent internal growth. North American Agricultural sales (Net) were $97,978,000 in 2001 compared to $79,752,000 in 2000, representing an increase of $18,226,000 or 22.9%. The revenue growth was primarily from the SCHULTE and SMC acquisitions, however the Rhino product line continued to show internal growth despite soft conditions in the agricultural market. The M&W and HERSCHEL products showed decreases in sales as demand for balers and tillage equipment continued to be down throughout the year. North American Industrial sales (Net) in 2001 were $108,001,000 compared to $95,867,000 in 2000, a $12,134,000 or 12.7% increase. The acquisition of SCHULTE Industries was reflected for a full year representing the majority of the increase as well as increased revenue from ALAMO INDUSTRIAL products. Sales of SCHWARZE sweepers to direct contract markets were down throughout the year due to the soft market and highly competitive bids from major competitors though their dealer sales mainly to governmental entities were up. The Industrial market was adversely affected by the tragic events of September 11th , which resulted in a decline in new orders during the fourth quarter of 2001 compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year. European sales (Net) decreased $187,000 or less than 1.0% to $40,068,000 in 2001 compared to $40,255,000 in 2000. The decrease was attributed to the sluggish economic conditions as well as the foot and mouth epidemic which had a severe effect for much of the year, mainly in the U.K., our largest European market. In addition, the strength of the British Pound compared to the Euro and French Franc negatively affected sales throughout Europe. The European sector saw some improvement during the fourth quarter of 2001. Gross Margins for 2001 were $59,529,000 (24.2% of net sales) compared to $52,151,000 (24.2% of net sales) in 2000. 2001 margins were up mainly from the acquisitions of SCHULTE and SMC. Closure costs from the shutdown of the Company's Guymon facility had a negative affect on margins during the year. In addition margin percentages for 2001 were negatively impacted by product mix of lower replacement parts sales, which are generally at higher margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $40,173,000 (16.3% of net sales) in 2001 compared to $34,650,000 (16.1% of net sales) in 2000. The increase of $5,523,000 over 2000 was primarily due to the addition of SCHULTE and SMC as well as costs from the Company's Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") project during the year. Additional costs for the ERP project are expected for 2002 but not at the levels of costs incurred during 2001. Interest expense for 2001 was $3,284,000 compared to $2,190,000 in 2000, a $1,094,000 or 50.0% increase. The purchase of SCHULTE and SMC with bank borrowings were the primary reason for the increase in interest expense for the year. Net Income for 2001 was $10,812,000 compared to $10,770,000 in 2000 due to the factors described above. FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 The Company's net sales in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 ("2000") were $215,874,000, an increase of $39,266,000 or 22.3% compared to $176,608,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of SCHWARZE Industries on February 29, 2000. North American Agricultural sales (Net) were $79,752,000 in 2000 compared to $75,931,000 in 1999, representing an increase of $3,821,000 or 5.0%. The revenue growth was encouraging given the continued depressed condition in the overall U.S. agriculture market. RHINO product sales improved throughout the year as order rates continued to follow an increased pace that began during the fourth quarter of 1999. 13 Both the M & W and HERSCHEL products showed no significant change in sales as demand for balers and tillage equipment continued to be soft. North American Industrial sales (Net) in 2000 were $95,867,000 compared to $58,719,000 in 1999, a $37,148,000 or 63.2% increase. The acquisition of SCHWARZE Industries in the first quarter of 2000 accounted for the majority of the increase. ALAMO INDUSTRIAL products showed slight improvement, but internal growth was hampered by delivery delays that occurred during the second and third quarter of 2000. Overall, the industrial market continues to be steady with the exception of the sweeper market, which had experienced softness during the latter part of the fourth quarter, which continued into the first quarter of 2001. European sales (Net) decreased $1,703,000 or 4.1% to $40,255,000 in 2000 compared to $41,958,000 in 1999. The decrease was attributed to the weakness in both the British Pound and the Euro that persisted throughout 2000. Europe's agricultural sector continued to be depressed which hurt market conditions for the Company's products. The situation did not improve during 2001 especially since the outbreak of hoof and mouth disease in the U.K. during the first quarter of 2001. Gross Margins for 2000 were $52,151,000 (24.2% of net sales) compared to $40,903,000 (23.2% of net sales) in 1999. 2000 margins were down slightly more than expected due to unfavorable variances from production issues during the middle of the year. Margin percentages for 1999 were negatively impacted by lower production volumes primarily for agricultural products as well as an inventory obsolescence charge in the third quarter of $3,201,000 from a fundamental change in business policy relating to inventory. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $34,650,000 (16.1% of net sales) in 2000 compared to $30,123,000 (17.1% of net sales) in 1999. The increase of $4,527,000 over 1999 was primarily due to the addition of SCHWARZE Industries during the first quarter of 2000. Interest expense for 2000 was $2,190,000 compared to $1,495,000 in 1999, a $695,000 or 46.5% increase. The acquisition of SCHWARZE and SCHULTE primarily caused the increase for the year. Net Income for 2000 was $10,770,000 compared to $6,102,000 in 1999 due to the factors described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In addition to normal operating expenses, the Company has on going cash requirements, which are necessary to expand the Company's business including inventory purchases and capital expenditures. The Company's inventory and accounts payable levels typically build in the first quarter and early spring of the year and partly in the fourth quarter in anticipation of the spring and fall selling seasons. Accounts receivable historically build in the first and fourth quarters of each year as a result of preseason sales. These sales help balance the Company's production during the first and fourth quarters. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had working capital of $106,718,000, which represents an increase of $14,375,000 from working capital of $92,343,000 as of December 31, 2000. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the acquisition of SMC, which provided increased levels of accounts receivable and inventory. Capital expenditures were $7,074,000 for 2001, compared to $12,650,000 for 2000. Capital expenditures for 2002 are expected to be in line with 2001. The 2001 amount included increased spending on the Company's ERP project, which was approximately $1,800,000 in 2001 compared to $700,000 in 2000. The significant increase in 2000 was attributable to several items, the largest one being the purchase of the Bomford manufacturing facility and adjacent land in the U.K., which had been leased on a long-term basis. The purchase price was approximately $5,300,000 and the transaction was completed in June 2000. Other major components of the increase were related to improvements at the Company's Seguin and Holton plants to increase efficiencies and capacity to take on production being transferred as a result of the closure of the Company's LaGrange facility and transfer of RHINO production from Seguin to Holton. And, approximately $900,000 of the increase was a result of rebuilding the office building at the Company's Gibson City plant, which was destroyed in January 1999 by a snowstorm. This cost has been recovered from the Company's insurance provider. The Company expects to fund capital expenditures from operating cash flows or through its revolving credit facility, described below. 14 The Company was authorized by its Board of Directors in 1997 to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be funded through working capital and credit facility borrowings. In 1999, the Company repurchased 40,600 shares in the third quarter. No shares were repurchased in 2000. In 2001 there were 2,000 shares repurchased during the third quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,230,000 for 2001, compared to $9,010,000 for 2000. The decrease of cash from operating activities resulted primarily from lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,546,000 for 2001, compared to net cash provided of $25,853,000 for 2000. The change in activity was primarily the result of the SCHWARZE and SCHULTE acquisitions totaling approximately $25,000,000 during 2000. The Company entered into a $70,000,000 contractually committed, unsecured, long-term bank revolving credit facility on August 31, 2001, under which the Company can borrow and repay until September 30, 2003, with interest at variable rate options based upon Prime or Libor rates, with such rates either floating on a daily basis or fixed for periods up to 180 days. Proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes or, subject to certain limitations, acquisition activities. The loan agreement contains certain financial covenants, which are customary in credit facilities of this nature including minimum financial ratio requirements and limitations on dividends, indebtedness, liens and investments. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, there was $35,200,000 borrowed under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2001, $2,982,000 of the revolver capacity was committed to irrevocable standby letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business as required by vendor's contracts. There are two smaller additional lines of credit, one for the Company's European operation in the amount of 4,000,000 British pounds and the other is for our Canadian operation in the amount of 3,000,000 Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2001 there was 174,000 British pounds borrowed against the European line of credit and no borrowings against the Canadian line of credit. Only the Canadian revolving credit facility is guaranteed by the Company. The Company's borrowing levels for working capital are seasonal with the greatest utilization generally occurring in the first quarter and early spring. Management believes that the bank credit facility and the Company's ability to internally generate funds from operations should be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the foreseeable future. INFLATION The Company believes that inflation generally has not had a material impact on its operations or liquidity to date. EURO CONVERSION On January 1, 1999, the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) entered a three-year transition phase during which a new common currency, the "Euro," was introduced in participating countries which established fixed conversion rates through the European Central Bank (ECB) between existing local currencies and the Euro. From that date, the Euro is traded on currency exchanges. Following introduction of the Euro, local currencies remained legal tender until December 31, 2001. During this transition period, goods and services could be paid for with the Euro or the local currency under the EMU's "no compulsion, no prohibition" principle. France and Netherlands, countries where the Company has locations, were participating countries in the first group to adopt the EMU. The U.K. is currently not a part of the EMU. Based on its evaluation to date, management believes that the introduction of the Euro has not had a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, uncertainty exists as to the effects the Euro will ultimately have on the marketplace, and there is no guarantee that all issues will be foreseen and corrected or that other third parties will address the conversion successfully. The Euro introduction did not have a material impact on the Company's overall currency risk. The Company anticipates the Euro will simplify financial issues related to cross-border trade in the EMU and reduce the transaction costs and administrative time necessary to manage this trade and related risks. However, the Company believes that the associated savings will not be material to corporate results. 15 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURES In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" (FAS 141), and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). FAS 141 will require the purchase method of accounting to be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. FAS 141 also provides new criteria to determine whether an acquired intangible asset should be recognized separately from goodwill. Upon adoption of FAS 142, amortization of existing goodwill would cease and the remaining book value would be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level using a detailed impairment test. Provisions of FAS No. 142, any impairment loss identified upon adoption of this standard is recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Any impairment loss recognized subsequent to initial adoption of FAS No. 142 will be recorded as a charge to current period earnings. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted both statements FAS 141 and FAS 142 and tested for impairment as of December 31, 2001. Based on the analysis completed, the Company's review indicated no impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and no write-offs will be required in first quarter 2002 Form 10-Q. The Company will review for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if deemed necessary. At December 31, 2001 the net book value of goodwill was $18,470,000. The FASB issued FAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," in August 2001. FAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of: and other related accounting guidance. FAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this Statement generally are to be applied prospectively. We will adopt FAS No. 144 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. We are evaluating the effect of the adoption of FAS No. 144, however the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 133 (FAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its amendments, Statements 137 and 138, on January 1, 2001. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designed its foreign currency hedge agreements as cash flow hedge instruments. The hedge agreements are used to manage exposure to exchange rate movement by effectively changing the variable rate to a fixed rate. The critical terms of the foreign currency hedge agreements and the sales associated with the hedging agreements are the same; therefore, the Company has assumed that there is no ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency hedging agreements will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The Company has hedged 87% of its exposure to foreign exchange rate movement through March 28, 2002. At January 1, 2001, the foreign currency hedge agreements were in an unfavorable position by approximately $77,000. In accordance with the transition provisions of FAS 133, the net-of-tax cumulative effect of an accounting change adjustment on January 1, 2001, was a loss of $50,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income with a deferred income tax asset of $27,000. At December 31, 2001, the fair value of the hedge agreements were in an unfavorable position; therefore, the derivative financial instruments were adjusted to a liability of $22,000. Accumulated other comprehensive income was adjusted to an accumulated loss of $14,000 and the deferred income tax was adjusted to a $8,000 tax asset. As the hedge agreements are deemed to be effective cash flow hedges, there was no income statement impact related to hedge ineffectiveness. The Company has reclassifed approximately $7,000 of existing losses in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, into net income (loss) through December 31, 2001. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVENTORIES - OBSOLESCENCE AND SLOW MOVING At December 31, 2001, the Company had $3,857,000 in reserve to cover obsolescence and slow moving inventory. The reserve is calculated on a basis of : 1) no inventory usage over a three year period on inventory with quantity on hand is deemed obsolete and reserved at 100 percent and 2) slow moving inventory with little usage requires a 100 percent reserve on items that have a quantity greater than three year supply. The Company relies on historical information to support its reserve. 16 SALES DISCOUNTS At December 31, 2001 the Company had $4,549,000 in reserves for sales discounts on product shipped to our customers under various promotional programs. The Company basis its reserves on historical data relating to discounts taken by the customer under each program. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS The Company is exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company does not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK AS A RESULT OF INTERNATIONAL SALES A portion of the Company's operations consist of manufacturing and sales activities in international jurisdictions. The Company primarily manufactures its products in the United States, the U.K., France and Canada. The Company sells its products primarily within the markets where the products are produced, but certain of the Company's sales from its U.K. operations are denominated in other European currencies. As a result, the Company's financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the other markets in which the U.S. or U.K. subsidiaries of the Company distributes their products. To mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Company's functional currency based sales, the Company regularly hedges by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge approximately 80% of its future net foreign currency sales transactions over a period of six months. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had $1,547,981 outstanding forward exchange contracts related to sales, additionally there was an exchange contract of $8,120,000 relating to a short-term inter-company cash transfer. A 15% fluctuation in exchange rates for these currencies would change the fair value by approximately $2,000,000. However, since these contracts hedge foreign currency denominated transactions, any change in the fair value of the contracts should be offset by changes in the underlying value of the transaction being hedged. EXPOSURE TO EXCHANGE RATES AS A RESULT OF INTERNATIONAL SALES The Company's earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in European countries, as a result of the sales of its products in international markets. Foreign currency options and forward contracts are used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations. At December 31, 2001, the result of a uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company's sales are denominated would result in a decrease in gross profit of $1,580,000 for the year ending December 31, 2001. Comparatively, at December 31, 2000, the result of a uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company's sales are denominated would have resulted in a decrease in gross profit of approximately $1,226,000 for the year-ended December 31, 2000. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which are a changed dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become more or less attractive. The Company's sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices. The translation adjustment during 2001 was a loss of $1,497,000. On December 31, 2001, the British pound closed at .6868 relative to 1.00 U.S. dollar, and the French franc closed at .0957 relative to 1.00 British pound. At December 31, 2001 the Euro dollar closed at .8915 relative to 1.00 U.S. dollar. By comparison, on December 31, 2000, the British pound closed at .6697 relative to 1.00 U.S. dollar, and the French franc closed at .0958 relative to 1.00 British pound. No assurance can be given as to future valuation of the British pound or Euro or how further movements in those or other currencies could affect future earnings or the financial position of the Company. INTEREST RATE RISK At December 31, 2001 the Company's long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, the Company's net income is affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable 17 rates and a two hundred basis point change in the 2001 average interest rate under these borrowings, the Company's 2001 interest expense would have changed by approximately $725,000. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management could take actions to mitigate its exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such actions. Further, this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. ITEM 8.

F-7 F-1 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors and Stockholders Alamo Group Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

See accompanying notes. F-6 ALAMO GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SEGMENTS The Company manufactures, distributes and services high quality equipment for right-of-way maintenance and agriculture. Our products include tractor-mounted mowing and other vegetation maintenance equipment, street sweepers, agricultural implements and related after market parts and services. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (Statement 131). Statement 131 superseded FASB Statement No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. Statement 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. Statement 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of Statement 131 did not affect results of operations or financial position. The Company manages its business in three principal reporting segments; Agricultural, Industrial, and European. The adoption of Statement 131 requires segment reporting and certain geographic disclosures, which are included in Footnotes 13 and 14. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company"), all of which are wholly owned. Other investments are accounted for under the equity method or the cost method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FOREIGN CURRENCY The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign-owned subsidiaries at rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders' equity. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure on material foreign currency transactions. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Changes in the market value of the foreign currency instruments are recognized in the financial statements upon settlement of the hedged transaction. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $1,547,981 in outstanding forward exchange contracts related to sales and a foreign currency forward contract of $8,120,000 relating to a short-term inter-company cash transfer maturing in January 2002. The maximum exposure of the December 31, 2001 contracts that the Company expects to incur during the first quarter of 2002 is approximately a $36,000 loss. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in Other income (expense), net. For 2001, 2000 and 1999, such transactions netted a loss of $117,000, a loss of $204,000, and a loss of $906,000, respectively. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity date no longer than 90 days. F-7 ALAMO GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999 CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The credit risk is limited because of the large numbers and types of customers and their geographic dispersion. INVENTORIES Inventories of U.S. operating subsidiaries are principally stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out method) ("LIFO") or market, and the Company's international subsidiaries' inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) ("FIFO") or market. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant, and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements; maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. Depreciation is provided at amounts calculated to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method. GOODWILL Goodwill is related to purchase acquisitions and, with minor exceptions, was being amortized over fifteen years from respective acquisition dates. Goodwill is shown net of amortization of $8,435,000 and $6,520,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). Upon adoption of FAS 142, amortization of existing goodwill would cease and the remaining book value would be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level using a detailed impairment test. Provisions of FAS No. 142, required any impairment loss identified upon adoption of this standard be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Any impairment loss recognized subsequent to initial adoption of FAS No. 142 will be recorded as a charge to current period earnings. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted statement FAS 142 and tested for impairment as of December 31, 2001. Based on the analysis completed, the Company's review indicated no impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and no write-offs will be required in first quarter 2002 Form 10-Q. The Company will review for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if deemed necessary. At December 31, 2001 the net book value of goodwill was $18,470,000. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS At December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, the Company had $2,000,000 invested in a Small Business Investment Company which is carried at cost in Other assets. Due to inherent risk factors in such investments, the ultimate realization of these amounts, included in Other assets in the accompanying financial statements, is not determinable at this date. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS The Company owns various U.S. and international patents. It amortized approximately $132,000 in 2001. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Notes receivable from a retired officer of the Company was $970,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are included in Other assets. F-8 ALAMO GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999 REVENUE RECOGNITION Product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped. Pre-season sales orders are solicited in the fall in advance of the dealer's sales season in the spring and summer. Pre-season sales orders are shipped beginning in the fall and continuing through the spring and represent an opportunity for the Company's factories to level their production/shipping volumes through the winter months. These pre-season shipments carry descending discounts in conjunction with delayed payment terms of up to six months from the dealer's requested delivery date. Revenue from sales is recorded net of a provision for discounts that are anticipated to be earned and deducted at time of payment by the customer. These approximated discounts represent an average of historical amounts taken and are adjusted as program terms are changed. The reserves for discounts are reviewed and adjusted quarterly. The Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four criteria are met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists; 2) products have been shipped and title has been transferred or services have been rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured. ACCOUNTING FOR INTERNAL USE OF SOFTWARE The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1) in March 1998. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use and identifies characteristics of internal-use software. The Company's accounting policy with respect to accounting for computer software developed or obtained for internal use is consistent with SOP 98-1. The Company has purchased and capitalized approximately $2,220,000 net of depreciation at December 31, 2001. The internal use software is amortized for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated life of seven years. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-10, which requires disclosure of shipping and handling costs that are not included in costs of goods sold. The Company's policy is to include shipping and handling costs in costs of goods sold. ADVERTISING We charge advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense related to continuing operations for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $2,335,000, $2,171,000 and $1,802,000, respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Product development and engineering costs charged to Selling, general and administrative expense amounted to $ 2,405,000, $2,396,000, and $1,722,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using presently enacted tax rates and laws. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Effective January 1, 1996 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION, and elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements for these plans. The pro forma effects of fair value accounting for compensation costs related to options, on net income and earnings per share, would not be material. F-9 ALAMO GROUP INC.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASES The Company leases office space and transportation equipment under various operating leases, which generally are expected to be renewed or replaced by other leases.

At December 31, 2000, future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable leases and the present value of the net minimum lease payments for the capitalized leases are (in thousands): OPERATING CAPITALIZED LEASES LEASES ------------ ------------ 2002 ......................................... $ 981 $ 557 2003 ......................................... 778 536 2004 ......................................... 624 505 2005 ......................................... 181 219 2006 ......................................... 30 -- Thereafter ................................... -- -- ------ ------ Total minimum lease payments ................. $2,594 1,817 ====== Less amount representing interest ............ 291 ------ Present value of net minimum lease payments .. 1,961 Less current portion ......................... 468 ------ Long-term portion ............................ $1,056 ====== Rental expense for operating leases was $1,687,000 for 2001, $1,928,000 for 2000, and $1,351,000 for 1999. OTHER The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The most prevalent of such actions relate to product liability which are generally covered by insurance. While amounts claimed might be substantial and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations concerning air emissions, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and the Company believes it is currently in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect that changes to such laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Like other industrial concerns, the Company's manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, and there can be no assurance that material costs or the Company will not incur liabilities as a result thereof. The Company knows that the Indianola, Iowa property on which its Herschel facility operates is contaminated with chromium. The contamination likely resulted from chrome-plating operations which were discontinued several years before the Company purchased the property. The Company is working with an environmental consultant, the previous owner of the property, and the state of Iowa to develop and implement a plan to remediate the contamination. All present and future remediation costs have been or should be paid by the previous owner of the property pursuant to the agreement by which the Company purchased said property. However, the successor to the previous owner is in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings and we have know way of knowing at this time if or when they will be able to meet their contractual obligations. The amount of potential liability cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. F-18 ALAMO GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999 The Company had an executive loan program pursuant to which the Company made loans to certain officers and employees of the Company to purchase stock of the Company. The loans were subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All loans are secured by a pledge of the shares being purchased. Each loan bears interest at prime and is payable quarterly. The executive loan program has been terminated and beginning March 2001, each employee must make annual principal payments equal to 10% of the amount loaned to the employee. As of December 31, 2001, and 2000, $32,000 and $261,000, respectively, were outstanding under the program and are included in additional paid-in capital. The executive loan program has expired. 17.
