annual results of operations.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kinetek,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. Material intercompany transactions and balances are
eliminated in consolidation. Operations of certain subsidiaries outside the
United States are included for periods ending two months prior to the Company's
year-end and interim periods to ensure timely preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements.

The Company has recorded an income tax provision on its loss before taxes due
to its foreign and state tax expense, but its domestic losses have not been
benefited for federal tax purposes.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $75.7
million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 6.3%, from the same period in 2003.
Sales of the Company's Motors segment were $54.0 million, a $2.7 million (5.3%)
increase from the previous year. Sales of the Company's subfractional motor
products were $19.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 6.7% compared to the
first quarter of 2003. The decline primarily resulted from the loss of
value-added business with a major appliance customer, softness in the market for
motors sold to general vending customers, and the inclusion of significant
one-time sales to certain restaurant product customers during the prior year
period. Sales of fractional and integral motor products were $35.0 million, an
increase of $4.1 million, or 12.8% from the first quarter of 2003. This increase
resulted from general strength and share gains in the Company's material
handling and commercial floor care motor products, an increase in elevator
motors sold in China, and the favorable translation impact of European sales
denominated in Euros. These increases were partially offset by general weakness
in the Company's European markets served by the FIR Group of companies, where
sales declined 9.7% on a local currency basis. First quarter 2004 sales for the
Company's Controls segment were $21.7 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or
8.8%, from the prior year. The Company's elevator controls and automotive
assembly line controls product lines both contributed to the increase in sales
during the first quarter of 2004.

Total operating income for the first quarter of 2004 was $6.7 million, a decline
of $2.1 million, or 23.9 %, from the same quarter of the previous year.
Operating income for the first three months of 2004 in the Motors segment was
$8.6 million, which was $0.8 million, or 8.2% lower than 2003's first quarter
results. Operating income for the Controls segment was $2.0 million, a decrease
of $0.7 million, or 27.0% from the corresponding quarter in the previous year.
Total Company gross margin was $24.4 million in the first three months of 2004,
a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.1%, from the corresponding quarter in the
previous year. Gross margin as a percentage of sales fell from 34.9 % in the
first quarter of 2003 to 32.2% in 2004. The decline in gross margin was caused
by a number of factors, the most significant of which are: 1) During the first
quarter of 2004, the Company experienced significant inflation on metal (copper,
steel, aluminum, etc.) components used in the assembly of motor products.
Pricing pressures on motors have prevented these cost increases from being
passed along to customers in the form of higher prices, which has compressed
profitability of sales. 2) Several sizable pieces of market share gained in the
material handling and floor care segments, and a new elevator control product
shipped in limited quantities during the quarter, carry lower margins than the
Company's historical product mix. It is expected that margins on these products
will expand over time as the Company moves up the learning curve, gains volume
leverage, and implements planned cost reductions. 3) Two facility moves
completed in the first quarter of 2004 within the subfractional and
fractional/integral products groups led to increased costs related directly to
the moves and to temporarily lower efficiencies for the period.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 13.1%,
to $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2004. Most of the increase is due to
increases in commission expenses related to higher sales, the cumulative impact
of employment increases since 2003 at Motion Control Engineering in preparation
for production release of its "I" family of elevator control products during
2004, expenses related to the aforementioned facility moves, and increases in
professional service fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general, the Company requires liquidity for working capital, capital
expenditures, interest, taxes, debt repayment and its acquisition strategy. Of
primary importance are the Company's working capital requirements, which
increase whenever the Company experiences strong incremental demand or
geographical expansion. The Company expects to satisfy its liquidity
requirements through a combination of funds generated from operating activities
and the funds available under its revolving credit facility.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was $1.1 million, compared to zero
provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
favorable performance in cash is attributable to improved working capital
management in 2004 compared to the previous year, offset partly by the lower
operating income discussed under "Consolidated Results of Operations".


Investing activities. In the first three months of 2004, the Company used $0.8
million for capital expenditures, compared to $1.0 million used in the same
period of 2003.

Financing activities. The Company is party to a Credit Agreement under which the
Company is able to borrow up to approximately $35.0 million to fund acquisitions
and provide working capital, and for other general corporate purposes.
Borrowings are secured by the stock and substantially all of the assets of the
Company. As of March 31, 2004, the Company has approximately $15.3 million of
available funds under this Credit Agreement.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
            ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company's debt obligations are primarily fixed-rate in nature and, as
such, are not sensitive to changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2004 the
Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $4.3 million. A one-percentage
point increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on the
amount of annual interest paid. The Company does not believe that its market
risk from financial instruments on March 31, 2004 would have a material effect
on future operations or cash flow.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, including fluctuations in the functional currency of foreign operations.
The functional currency of operations outside the United States is the
respective local currency. Foreign currency translation effects are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder's equity.



Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
           -----------------------

Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 13a-15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") promulgated thereunder, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the




                                       11
<PAGE>


period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that
were identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
