4. Contingencies


     The Company has claims against others, and there are claims by others
against it, in a variety of matters arising out of the conduct of the Company's
business. The ultimate resolution of all such claims would not, in the opinion
of management, have a material effect on the Company's financial position, cash
flows or results of operations.

5. Adoption of Accounting Principles

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue
to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company has applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase
in net income of approximately $660,000 per year. During the quarter ended June
30, 2002, the Company performed the first annual impairment evaluation and
determined that none of the recorded goodwill was impaired.

The Company has two reporting segments, Manufactured Products and Engineering
Services, goodwill was allocated to these segments as follows:

                                          June 30, 2002

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2001

     Net Sales: Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 decreased
$6.7 million, or 15.3%, to $36.9 million from $43.6 million for the
corresponding period in 2001. The Engineering Services Segment's sales decreased
$5.6 million, or 26.4% to $15.7 million from $21.3 million for the corresponding
period in 2001 as customers have not committed to major capital projects. For
the quarter ended September 30, 2002 the Engineering Services Segment had $2.4
million in projects with sales less than $500,000, compared to $4.1 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001.They had five projects with sales in excess
of $500,000, totalling $13.3 million in sales for the quarter ended September
30, 2002, compared to eight such projects totalling $17.2 million in sales for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The Manufactured Products Segment's sales
decreased $1.1 million, or 4.8%, primarily due to the decrease of equipment
sales to the coal and oil industries, partially offset with increased fastener
sales.

     Gross Profit: Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 of $7.9
million was $1.8 million or 18.3% lower than the gross profit of $9.7 million
for the corresponding period in 2001 due to the lower sales level. As a
percentage of net sales, the gross profit decreased to 21.5% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002 from 22.2% for the corresponding period in 2001. The
decrease resulted from lower margins earned on Engineering Services Segment's
projects.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2002
of $5.9 million were $0.2 million or 4.0% below the selling, general and
administrative expenses of $6.1 million for the corresponding period in 2001.
This was due to lower employee related costs. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 14.1% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001 to 16.0% for the quarter ended September 30,
2002 due to decreased sales.

     Amortization Expense: Beginning January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued
the amortization of goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill
amortization was $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

September 30, 2002 of $2.4 million approximated interest expense for the
corresponding period in 2001.

Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 of $0.1 million compared to an
income tax provision of $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
The decrease of $0.5 million was due to the loss before income taxes for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002.

     Net (Loss) Income: The net loss for the Company for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 of $0.2 million was $0.7 million lower than the net income of
$0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 for the reasons discussed
above. Net loss as a percentage of net sales was 0.6% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 compared to net income as a percentage of net sales of 1.2%
for the corresponding quarter in 2001.

$9.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. The lower gross profit
resulted from the lower sales level, a reduction of margins on larger jobs due
to higher than anticipated labor and equipment costs in the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 as well as higher margins realized upon the completion of
Engineering Services Segment projects within the nine months ended September 30,
2001. Within the Manufactured Products Segment the gross profit of $19.0 million
decreased $1.4 million or 6.8% from $20.4 million for the corresponding period
in 2001 due to the lower sales level and costs incurred towards the start-up of
a plating facility. As a percentage of sales the Manufactured Products Segment's
gross profit decreased to 27.6% from 29.2%.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Company for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 of $18.3 million represented a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from
$18.4 million for the corresponding period in 2001. This was primarily due to
lower employee related costs, partially offset with the reversal of a provision
on a note receivable that was collected in full in 2001 within the Engineering
Services Segment.

     Amortization Expense: Beginning January 1, 2002 the Company discontinued
the amortization of goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill
amortization was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

     Interest Income: Interest income of the Company of $0.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased $0.3 million or 44.6% from $0.6
million for the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease was due to interest
earned on a note receivable within the Engineering Services Segment during 2001.

     Interest Expense: Interest expense of the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 of $7.1 million was $0.1 million lower than the interest
expense of $7.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. This decrease was
due to decreased interest rates, partially offset with an increased debt level.

     (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes: Benefit for income taxes of the
Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $0.7 million was $2.3
million lower than the provision for income taxes of $1.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 due to the loss before taxes for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2002.

     Net (Loss) Income: The net loss for the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 of $1.3 million compared to net income of $2.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 for the reasons discussed above. Net
loss as a percentage of net sales was 1.1% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 compared to net income as a percentage of sales of 1.5% for the
corresponding nine month period in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 of $3.6 million was used to decrease accounts payable and accrued
expenses and to increase prepaid expenses and other assets. These uses were
partially offset with cash generated from the net loss adjusted for non-cash
charges and decreased accounts receivable. Included in non-cash charges for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was depreciation of $2.9 million and other
non-cash charges of $0.3 million, partially offset with pension overfunding
income of $1.1 million. Cash flows from operations for any specific period are
often materially affected by the timing and amounts of cash receipts and cash
disbursements related to engineering services projects.

     Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 of $3.2 million consisted of $2.6 million used for the construction of a
plating facility and $0.7 million for the Company's regular practice of
upgrading and maintaining its equipment base and facilities, partially offset
with $0.1 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment.

     Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 of $6.8 million consisted of the borrowing of $8.2 million of long-term
debt drawn on the Company's revolver loan and borrowings of $1.1 million on the
construction loan for the plating facility, partially offset by repayment of
long-term debt of $2.5 million.

     The Company's liquidity requirements, both long-term and short-term, are
primarily for debt service, working capital needs and capital expenditures. The
recent decline in the cash flow generated by the Company's business during the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 has resulted in the Company's liquidity
being constrained. The Company anticipates that with improved operating results,
the funds provided from future operations and anticipated borrowing should be
sufficient to meet its anticipated debt service requirements, working capital
needs and capital expenditures. However, there can be no assurance as to the
foregoing, and it is uncertain whether the Company's operating results will
improve. The failure of the Company's future operations to generate improved
cash flow would require the Company to pursue other sources of liquidity in
order to meet it liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that any such
sources would be available if required.

     The Company has entered into a Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Credit
Agreement with its senior lenders, the purpose of which was, among other things,
to waive non-compliance with certain financial covenants for the period ending
September 30, 2002, and to revise certain financial covenants in its Senior
Credit Facility. This waiver expires on January 31, 2003, at which time the
Company will need to be in compliance with the covenants contained in its Senior
Credit Facility, or obtain another waiver or amendment. The Company continues to
work with its senior lenders to address the Company's liquidity requirements.

Backlog

     The Company's backlog consists primarily of that portion of engineering
services contracts that have been awarded but not performed and also includes
open manufacturing orders. Backlog at September 30, 2002 was $35.1 million.
Approximately $11.8 million relates to the Manufactured Products Segment, with
the remainder of $23.3 million relating to the Engineering Services Segment. A
substantial majority of current backlog is expected to be realized in the next
twelve months.

Safe Harbor

     Certain statements herein constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Act of 1934; including
statements regarding the Company's ability to meet its liquidity requirements,
and the Company's expected realization of current backlog. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Further, statements herein regarding
the Company's performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to
deterioration of relationships with, or the loss of, material customers or
suppliers, possible product liability claims, decreases in demand for the
Company's products and services, adverse changes in general market and industry
conditions and any resulting inability to comply with the financial covenants
imposed by the Company's senior credit facility. Management believes these
forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not
be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current
expectations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company continues to use its reputation in the United States to expand
into international markets. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002
approximately 13% of the Company's net sales were attributable to services
provided or products sold for use outside the United States, primarily to Puerto
Rico, Australia and Venezuela. A portion of these net sales and cost of sales is
derived from international operations which are conducted in foreign

                                       12

<PAGE>

currencies. Changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the
U.S. dollar could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition,
results of operation and debt service capability. The majority of the Company's
foreign sales and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. With respect to
transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the Company attempts to mitigate
foreign exchange risk by contractually shifting the burden of the risk of
currency fluctuations to the other party to the transactions. It has been the
Company's historic practice to conduct international sales in accordance with
the foregoing. There can be no assurance that the Company's strategies will
ensure that the Company will be fully protected from foreign exchange risk.
Foreign sales, particularly construction management projects undertaken at
foreign locations, are subject to various risks, including exposure to currency
fluctuations, political, religious and economic instability, local labor market
conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs and other trade barriers, and
changes in governmental policies. There can be no assurance that the Company's
foreign operations, or expansion thereof, would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and
debt service capability.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Elgin National Industries, Inc. management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this
quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have
been no significant changes in internal controls, or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evalution.

                                     PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings from
time to time in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this
filing, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are a party to any
lawsuit or proceeding which, individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of
management, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operation or cash flow of the Company.
