NOTICE

Revised historical data for Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders will be
issued on May 25, 2001. The revisions to the historical data are the result of:

Retabulating monthly data that were reported under the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) system to be consistent with the new North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). Visit our web page at:
http://www.census.gov/indicator/www/m3 and click on the link titled M3 Survey
Revision Information for more detailed information on the conversion to NAICS.

Benchmarking the shipments and inventory data to the 1997 Economic Census and
the 1998 and 1999 Annual Surveys of Manufactures (ASM).

Benchmarking unfilled orders to the 1999 Unfilled Orders survey and adjusting new
orders to be consistent with the benchmarked shipments and unfilled orders data.

Correcting monthly data for late receipts, reclassification of reported data, and
revisions to previously reported data.

Updating the trading day adjustment factors for the shipments series, and

Updating the seasonal adjustment factors for all series.

The publication will include data from 1992-December 2000. An accompanying press
release will include the revised 2001 January — April data. Please call Lee Wentela on

* Preliminary * Revised

* Shipments and new orders are the totals for the period and are adjusted for trading-day and calendar-month variations,

{a} When new orders for a prior month are negative because of cancellations, the percentage change calculation is algebraically negative, even though there is a
net dollar increase from the prior month to the current month.

Note: Estimates of manufacturers’ shipments, inventories and orders are subject to survey error and revision. One major component of survey error is
nonsampling error, which includes errors of coverage, response, and nonreporting. Since the survey panel is not a probability sample, estimates of sampling
error cannot be calculated. Further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations are contained in our most recent annual benchmark publication,
Current Industrial Reports: M3-1(97), "Manufacturers’ Shipments, inventories, and Orders: 1987-1997."
