                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made
which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. It is suggested that the consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the December 31, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have
been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

2.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Effective January 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." SFAS No. 133 provides guidance on accounting and financial
reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133
requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheet, and the periodic measurement of those
instruments at fair value. The Company has determined that hedge accounting will
not be elected for derivatives existing at January 1, 2001, which consist of
interest rate swap agreements. The Company entered into the swap agreements to
effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of its debt in order to lessen
the Company's exposure to floating rate debt. Future changes in the fair value
of those derivatives will be recorded in income. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as
of January 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative-effect-type expense to other
comprehensive income of $51,000 which will be recognized in interest expense
over the term of the interest rate swap agreements ranging from 11 months to 24
months. As of September 30, 2001, the fair value of the interest rate swap
agreements was a liability of $429,000. During the third quarter of 2001, the
Company recognized in interest expense $10,000 relating to the transition
adjustment and $116,000 relating to the change in the fair value of the interest
rate swap agreements, respectively.

3.       INVENTORY COMPONENTS

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out
basis (average cost as to raw materials and supplies) or market (net realizable
value). Inventory components are as follows (dollars in thousands):

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming
the issuance of common shares for all potential dilutive common shares
outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options
approximated 200,648 and 145,430 shares for the three months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, and 200,456 and 154,696 shares for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $31.4 million, up
6% from net sales in the third quarter of 2000. Sales were strong in the North
America region, rising 20% from levels in 2000. Sales declined in all other
regions. Sales in the Pacific region fell 34%, and sales in Brazil declined 29%.
Demand in the Pacific region softened in 2001 after several years of strength
caused in part by the 2000 Olympic Games in Australia. Market conditions
continue to be poor in both Brazil and Asia.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2001 was 23.1%, up from 22.4% in the third
quarter of 2000. The higher margin in the 2001 quarter was driven by higher
manufacturing volumes and expense controls.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.5 million in the third
quarter of 2001, compared to $5.0 million in the same period of 2000. Expenses
relating to employee salaries and research and development caused much of the
increase.

Third quarter interest expense was $0.8 million in 2001 and $0.9 million in
2000. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2001 includes a $0.1 million
expense relating to the accounting for certain interest rate swap agreements
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. Declining market
rates contributed to lower interest expense in the 2001 period. The minority
interest benefit of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2001 and 2000 stems
from the Company's majority ownership position in Lancer Ice Link, LLC, and
represents the minority partner's share of the subsidiary's losses. Lancer Ice
Link's financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company. The
effective tax rate was 35.1% in the third quarter of 2001, and 38.1% in the
third quarter last year. The lower rate in 2001 reflects the fact that a larger
proportion of the Company's income was earned in lower tax jurisdictions. Third
quarter net income was $0.6 million in 2001, and $0.5 million in 2000.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $92.8 million, up 5%
from $88.7 million in the same period of 2000. Sales rose 16% in the North
America region, and 25% in Latin America (excluding Brazil). Sales in the
Brazil, Asia, and Pacific regions declined 32% each. Demand in the Pacific
region softened in 2001 after several years of strength caused partly by the
2000 Olympic Games in Australia. Market conditions were poor in Asia and Brazil.

Gross margin in the first three quarters of 2001 was 23.4%, down slightly from
23.5% in the same period of 2000. Increased manufacturing spending offset the
benefits of higher production volumes during the 2001 period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.1 million in the first
nine months of 2001, compared to $15.9 million in the same period of 2000.
Expenses associated with the Company's Advanced Beverage Solutions subsidiary,
which was formed in the second quarter of 2000, as well as expenses relating to
employee salaries and research and development caused most of the increase.

Interest expense was $2.7 million in the first three quarters of 2001, up from
$2.3 million in the same period of 2000. Interest expense in the 2001 period
includes a $0.4 million expense relating to the accounting for certain interest
rate swap agreements under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133.
The minority interest benefit of $0.2 million in the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 stems from the Company's majority ownership position
in Lancer Ice Link LLC, and represents the minority partner's share of the
subsidiary's losses. Lancer Ice Link's financial statements are consolidated
with those of the Company. Other income of $1.3 million in the first three
quarters of 2001 includes a $1.0 million gain relating to the cancellation of a
project. The effective tax rate was 38.8% in the first three quarters of 2001,
versus 42.0% in the same period of 2000. The lower rate in 2001 reflects the
fact that a larger proportion of the Company's income was earned in lower tax
jurisdictions. Net income for the first nine months of 2001 was $1.9 million,
compared to $1.7 million in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and
amounts available under the Company's existing lines of credit. The Company has
met, and currently expects that it will continue to meet, substantially all of
its working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as its debt
service requirements, with funds provided by operations and borrowings under its
credit facilities. The Company is in compliance with, or has obtained waivers
of, the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement that governs the
Company's primary credit facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million in the first three
quarters of 2001, up from $3.5 million in the same period of 2000. The Company
made capital expenditures of $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2001,
primarily for production tooling. The capital spending, along with a $2.7
million reduction in borrowings, was financed with cash from operations.

The Company's primary lenders have agreed to extend the expiration of the
Company's credit facilities to July 15, 2003.

Accounting Matters

The Company maintains a DISC in order to defer income taxes on its foreign
sales. The Company continues to evaluate the benefit of converting the DISC to a
Foreign Sales Corporation. At the time of such conversion, the Company will be
required to provide for federal income taxes on $2.4 million of undistributed
earnings of the DISC. See 2000 Form 10-K.

The Internal Revenue Service is examining the Company's U.S. income tax return
for 1999 including its deduction of the loss on the Company's investment in the
Brazilian operation. Management does not believe that any significant
adjustments will be required as a result of this review.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," issued in June 2001, establishes accounting and reporting
standards for business combinations. This statement eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires
all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," issued in June 2001,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other
intangible assets. This statement addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets that are acquired or have already been recognized in the financial
statements should be accounted for. Under this statement goodwill and certain
other intangible assets will no longer be amortized, but will be required to be
reviewed periodically for impairment of value. The Company has approximately
$1.6 million of goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, on September 30,
2001. Amortization expense related to goodwill for the nine-months ended
September 30, 2001 was $113,000. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 on January
1, 2002. The Company is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 142 on its financial
statements and believes the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," issued in June
2001, establishes financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset
retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the
retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development and (or) normal use of the asset. The Company is required and plans
to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 for the quarter ending March 31, 2003.
To accomplish this, the Company must identify all legal obligations for asset
retirement obligations, if any, and determine the fair value of these
obligations on the date of adoption. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS
No. 143 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,"
issued in August 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
However, it retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a)
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held
and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The
Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 144 beginning
January 1, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
