PART I Item 1. Business Background Berger Holdings, Ltd., a Pennsylvania corporation formed in 1979 (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), is a leading manufacturer of roof drainage systems, residential and commercial snow guards and specialty metal architectural products relating to roofing. In 2000, the Company acquired CopperCraft, Inc. and Walker Metal Products, Inc. as described below. The Company continues to search for opportunistic acquisitions. The Company operates five facilities with over 310,000 square feet used in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. In May 1999, the Company received approval from its Board of Directors to begin an open market stock repurchase program under which the aggregate number of shares currently authorized for repurchase is 1,560,000. Of this amount, the Company had repurchased 758,475 shares as of December 31, 2001, excluding the private purchase of 144,000 shares from various investors. In 1989, the Company entered its present business of manufacturing and distributing roof drainage products by acquiring Berger Bros Company which was founded in 1874. On February 7, 1997, the Company completed the Real-Tool Acquisition (as defined below). Real-Tool, Inc. provided the Company with a complete line of commercial snow guards. On January 2, 1998, the Company acquired (the "Obdyke Acquisition") the roof drainage division of Benjamin Obdyke, Inc. ("Obdyke"). On December 7, 1998, the Company acquired (the "Sheet Metal Acquisition") certain assets of Sheet Metal Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("Sheet Metal"). Obdyke and Sheet Metal were the Company's two largest competitors prior to the Obdyke and Sheet Metal Acquisitions. On March 31, 2000, the Company acquired (the "CopperCraft Acquisition") all of the stock of CopperCraft, Inc. ("CopperCraft"). On October 31, 2000, the Company acquired (the "Walker Acquisition") all of the stock of Walker Metals Products, Inc. ("Walker"). CopperCraft provides the Company with a Southwest presence, as well as an internal source of specialty metal architectural products, while Walker provides the Company with a Southeast presence. Product Line The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of metal roof drainage and ancillary products ("RDP"). Since 1993, the Company has also engaged in a program of internal development and product expansion. Internal development has primarily consisted of the modernization of production facilities, machinery and equipment and the introduction of complementary products. External development has been directed principally towards increasing the sales volume and market penetration of the Company's products through acquisitions, advertising and expanding the Company's RDP product line. The Company's RDP line, consisting of gutters, downspouts, soffits, fascias, snow guards, trim coil, custom metal architectural pieces and other associated accessories and fittings is manufactured by the Company at its three suburban Philadelphia facilities, one suburban Dallas facility and one Atlanta facility. The Company sells RDP through its telemarketing representatives principally to wholesale distributors who sell directly to roofing and general contractors for use in the repair and replacement of roof drainage systems in existing buildings that are primarily residential. The geographical distribution of the Company's products is generally limited to the United States. The primary raw materials used in manufacturing RDP are aluminum, steel and copper. Supplies of these materials, in either coil, sheet or bar form, are procured by the Company from primarily domestic suppliers. Although the Company believes that adequate available sources of supply exist at customarily accepted market prices, trade restrictions, work stoppages or adverse weather or political conditions may affect the prices and availability of these materials. Rapid increases in prices of raw materials could adversely affect the operations of the Company because the cost of raw materials constitutes the largest single element of the Company's cost of sales. 2
10-K3rd Page of 39TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
A significant portion of the Company's raw material requirements is provided by five key suppliers. The remaining raw materials are provided by a large number of small suppliers. All raw materials procured by the Company, as well as finished products, are scrutinized for quality control using industry standards and internal guidelines. Acquisitions On October 31, 2000, the Company completed the Walker Acquisition. The acquisition of Walker, a manufacturer of roof drainage products, was funded in part by an increase in the Company's bank credit facility. As consideration, the Company paid cash and issued notes payable. On March 31, 2000, the Company completed the CopperCraft Acquisition. The acquisition of CopperCraft, a manufacturer of primarily copper specialty metal architectural products, was funded in part by an increase in the Company's bank credit facility. As consideration, the Company paid cash and issued notes payable. On December 7, 1998, the Company completed the Sheet Metal Acquisition. The acquisition of Sheet Metal, a manufacturer of roof drainage products, was funded in part by an increase in the Company's bank credit facility. As consideration, the Company paid cash and issued a note payable. On January 2, 1998, the Company consummated the Obdyke Acquisition, funded with the proceeds received through an issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock. As consideration, the Company paid cash, issued a note payable, issued 125,000 shares of Common Stock, which the Company had the obligation to repurchase at the election of the seller, and issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock. These warrants expired unexercised in January 2000. On February 7, 1997, the Company consummated the purchase (the "Real-Tool Acquisition") of all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Real- Tool, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Real-Tool"). As consideration, the Company paid cash, issued shares of Common Stock, and issued a note payable. Concurrent with the purchase, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with the sole shareholder of Real-Tool, which expires in 2012. Under this agreement, the Company is required to pay royalties of 6% of revenues, with a minimum of $75,000 annually through 2002. Subsequent to 2002, the Company has the option to increase the percentage of royalties paid to this individual and eliminate the minimum payment requirement. The Company intends to continue paying royalties of 6% of revenues through 2012. These acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets (goodwill) were being amortized through 2001 on a straight-line basis for periods ranging from 20 to 25 years. For a description of new accounting standards applicable to goodwill beginning in 2002, see "New Accounting Standards" under Item 7 below and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Competition The Company's business is highly competitive. In general, the building products market is highly fragmented. The Company competes with numerous small and large manufacturers and fabricators. Some of the Company's competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company competes primarily in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. During the past four years, the Company has implemented an advertising and marketing program to expand its geographic range of operations to a more national level. Competition is primarily based upon product quality, completeness of product lines, service and price. Geographic Market The Company's products are principally sold throughout the states in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. The Company has developed greater national exposure from the Walker and CopperCraft Acquisitions in both the Southeast and Southwest regions. 3

Major Customers During 2001, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's sales. The Company has no ongoing contracts for sales of its products, but rather services customers on a per-order basis. Seasonal Nature of the Business The building products industry is seasonal, particularly in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, where inclement weather during the winter months usually reduces the level of building activity in both the home-building and home improvement markets. Typically, the Company's sales volume is lowest during the months of December, January and February. Inventory Practices The Company's policy is to obtain, fabricate and/or manufacture inventory in sufficient volume in order to provide a reasonable inventory level to support estimated minimum and maximum levels based on customers' historical demand. Because of the nature of the RDP market, in which an order generally must be filled within three to five days of placement, the Company does not have any substantial backlog. Because of the variations involved with custom architectural products, the Company generally fills these orders within two to four weeks. The Company is subject to fluctuations in metal prices when procuring raw material. Metal pricing is outside of the Company's control and although the Company generally attempts to pass raw material price increases onto its customers, it is not always able to do so. Employees As of December 31, 2001, the Company had 212 employees, including 24 in sales and marketing; 165 in manufacturing and delivery and 23 in administration. Approximately 110 of the Company's employees are represented by one of two labor unions, The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, Local 169 and the Teamsters Local Union 107. In December 2001, the Company's contracts with both unions were extended for four years to December 31, 2005. The Company believes that its employee relations are good. Government Regulation The Company is subject to numerous federal and state regulations relating to, among other things, the operations of its manufacturing facilities, the storage and disposal of environmentally sensitive materials, the control of emission levels, employee safety and health, employee wages and general environmental matters. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these regulations in all material respects. Patents and Trademarks The Company owns or licenses nine U.S. design and utility patents, which have expiration dates ranging from 2002 through 2015, that protect certain of its products, and is presently in the process of applying for at least one additional patent. The Company continuously reviews its new products and applies for patents where it believes the patent will have future value. The Company owns four federally registered trademarks used in connection with its products and is in the process of applying for federal registration of four other trademarks. Item 2. Properties The Company owns a 120,000 square foot operating facility in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. The corporate, administrative and sales offices occupy 14,000 square feet of office space at this location. The Company also operates two additional facilities in Pennsylvania. One is a 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Southampton, PA, which is leased through 2002 with a five-year renewal option, and the second is a 56,000 square foot warehousing facility in Huntingdon Valley, PA, which is leased through 2003 with a two- year renewal option. 4

The Company also leases a 22,300 square foot manufacturing facility in Keller, Texas for the CopperCraft operation. This property is leased through March 31, 2003 with a three-year renewal option. The Company also has on option to lease an additional 5,400 square foot addition at this location should the need arise. This property is leased from the former owner of Copper Craft for approximately $123,000 annually. The Company leases two properties in Atlanta, Georgia for the Walker operation. The properties are 10,500 square foot and 13,000 square foot manufacturing facilities, which are leased through October 31, 2003 with two three-year renewal options. These properties are leased from the two former owners of Walker for approximately $85,000 annually. The Company has a mortgage liability on the Feasterville facility in the principal amount of $2,558,748 at December 31, 2001. The mortgage is being repaid in monthly installments of approximately $27,400 through March 2008 with a balloon payment of $1,431,391 due at maturity. Item 3. Legal Proceedings As of the date hereof, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Not applicable. Item 4A.

(5) Long-Term Debt includes 10.0% subordinated debentures in the principal amount of $4,000,000, which were issued in 1999 in exchange for convertible preferred stock. (6) Long-Term Debt includes a 12.25% subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $2,000,000 issued in connection with the Obdyke Acquisition in January 1998 and the cash received for the debenture at December 31, 1997 was included in cash and cash equivalents. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations The Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, represent the consolidated operations of Berger Holdings, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, Berger Financial Corporation ("BFC"), Berger Bros Company ("Berger Bros"), CopperCraft and Walker. The Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 represent the consolidated operations of Berger Holdings, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, BFC, Berger Bros, CopperCraft (beginning as of April 1, 2000) and Walker (beginning as of November 1, 2000). The Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 represent the consolidated operations of Berger Holdings, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, BFC and Berger Bros. Net sales increased by 12.7% to $51,128,096 in 2001 from $45,372,283 in 2000 and by 14.8% in 2000 from $39,522,427 in 1999. The $5,755,813 increase in sales in 2001 was primarily attributable to a full year of sales from both the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions as well as growth within the existing business. The CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions accounted for approximately $3,800,000 of the $5,800,000 increase in 2000 sales, while Berger Bros' sales in 2000 increased approximately $2,000,000. The increase in Berger Bros sales for 2000 was a result of ongoing marketing efforts in order to expand the Company's existing customer base. The Company's gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 23.9% in 2001, 20.4% in 2000 and 18.5% in 1999. The increase in gross profit percentage in 2001 was attributable to the CopperCraft and Walker acquisitions and a decline in raw material costs through the year. The increase in gross profit percentage in 2000 was primarily attributable to the CopperCraft Acquisition, while the Company also continued to improve its product mix by selling a larger percentage of higher margin products. Selling, administrative and general expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 14.7% in 2001 from 13.1% in 2000 and 11.7% in 1999. The increase in selling, administrative and general expenses during the 7
10-K8th Page of 39TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
three-year period is primarily due to the additional costs of CopperCraft and Walker's ongoing operations and ongoing operating expenses for Berger Bros. Income from operations increased 42.0%, or $1,391,335, to $4,704,641 in 2001, while income from operations increased 25.0%, or $662,272, to $3,313,306 in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations was 9.2%, 7.3% and 6.7% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in 2001 was primarily from the improved product mix generated by the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions and internal sales growth through the remaining operations. Approximately 78% of the increase in 2000 was attributable to the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions, while 22% of the increase occurred from improvements in the remaining operations. Interest expense decreased to $1,581,753 in 2001 compared to $1,791,727 in 2000 and $1,852,088 in 1999. The Company's interest expense decrease in 2001 was primarily due to both the reduction throughout the year in the Company's borrowing rate and the Company's ability to pay down debt with cash generated from operations. The Company's interest expense decreased in 2000 from 1999, despite incurring additional debt to finance the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions. The interest expense decrease in 2000 was attributable to the Company's ability to pay down debt with cash generated from operations and the reduction in its borrowing rate on its credit facility in December 1999 to one half percent below the prime rate. In addition, because the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions closed in March and October 2000, respectively, less than a full year of interest was incurred in 2000 with respect to these transactions. Income from continuing operations increased 103.1% to $3,128,512, or 6.1% of net sales, in 2001 compared to $1,540,282, or 3.4% of net sales, in 2000 compared to $823,463, or 2.1% of net sales, in 1999. The increase in income from operations during 2001 was attributable to having the benefit of a full year of operations from both the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions, decreased interest expense and the Company's ability to absorb fixed operating expenses from the growth of the remaining existing operations. Approximately 43% of the $716,819 increase in 2000 was a direct result of the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions, while the remaining 57% increase resulted from a continued improvement in product mix. Net income increased 103.2% to $1,751,967, or 3.4% of net sales, in 2001 as compared to $862,379, or 1.9% of net sales, in 2000 and $381,797, or 1.0% of net sales, in 1999. The increase in net income in 2001 was primarily attributable to the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions, while the Company continued to improve the product mix of RDP lines. In 2001, the Company reported income tax expense of $1,376,545, but will pay approximately $300,000 in federal and state income taxes due to the utilization of a net operating loss carryforward. In 2000, the Company reported income tax expense of $677,903, but paid approximately $150,000 in federal and state income taxes due to the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $330,000, which will reduce the actual cash paid for income taxes by approximately $112,000 in future periods. The effective tax rate was 44%, 44% and 54% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively (see Note 9). Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2001, the working capital of the Company was $5,519,067 (resulting in a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.8 to 1), compared to $4,881,678 (1.6 to 1) at December 31, 2000. The increase in working capital is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, as a result of the cash flow provided by operating activities used to pay down outstanding obligations. At December 31, 2001, current liabilities totalled $6,920,260, consisting primarily of $4,094,475 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and $2,825,785 of current maturities of long-term debt. Total liabilities 8

decreased $4,800,908 as compared to 2000, primarily due to the Company's ability to pay down debt and other current liabilities with cash generated from operations. At December 31, 2001, obligations to Fleet Bank, N.A., formerly Summit Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), totaled $9,233,022, compared to $11,096,446 at December 31, 2000 and $9,699,591 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in 2001 was the result of the Company's ability to pay down debt with cash generated from operations. The increase in 2000 over 1999 was the result of financing the Bank provided to the Company to acquire both CopperCraft and Walker. The Company finances its operations primarily from cash flow from its business and the Company's credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with the Bank. The Credit Facility consists of a revolving line of credit (the "Credit Line") and an acquisition line facility (the "Acquisition Line"). All borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at one half of one percent below the Bank's prime lending rate, and are secured by, among other assets, the Company's accounts receivable and inventory. On October 31, 2000, at the Company's request, the maximum amount available under the Credit Line was reduced from $17,500,000 to $15,000,000, thereby reducing applicable fees. On April 12, 2001, at the Company's request, the maximum amount available under the Credit Line was reduced from $15,000,000 to $12,000,000, thereby further reducing applicable fees. The Company has two term loan notes outstanding under the Acquisition Line, and two other term loan notes with the Bank, secured by the Company's equipment and other assets. The total principal outstanding under the Credit Line at December 31, 2001 was $6,873,941. Cash flow provided by operating activities for 2001 was $4,137,295 as compared to $5,910,908 provided by operating activities for 2000. The cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to the pay down of accounts payable. In 2000, the Company financed some of its acquisition costs through the extension of trade payables. In 2001, the Company made a concerted effort to pay down debt and trade payables from the cash provided by operations. Net cash used in investing activities for 2001 was $700,803 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $7,235,822 in 2000. This change was primarily the result of cash used to fund the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions in 2000 and a decrease in cash used to fund capital expenditures in 2001. In 1999, net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,165,314, which was primarily a result of investments in capital equipment. From 1997 through 2000, the Company had invested heavily in acquiring and upgrading its manufacturing equipment, which now needs to be maintained rather than upgraded. Net cash used in financing activities was $3,278,340 for 2001, as compared to $1,524,710 provided by financing activities in 2000, as compared to $2,694,110 used in financing activities in 1999. The change from 2000 to 2001 was primarily the result of the Company paying down debt in 2001. The change from 1999 to 2000 occurred as a result of the following during 2000: the Company's financing approximately $6,000,000 for the CopperCraft and Walker Acquisitions, the Company's using cash from operations to pay down approximately $2,700,000 of senior and subordinated debt, the Company's using of approximately $1,250,000 cash to repurchase common shares of the Common Stock and the payment on account of a repurchase obligation with respect to Common Stock issued in the Obdyke Acquisition. Approximately $252,000 of debt relief and other related payments was provided to officers of the Company during 2001, in accordance with operating income achievements established by the Board of Directors. This relief reduced subscribed stock by $193,666. As of December 31, 2001, there are no agreements that provide for future officer debt relief. During 2001, the Company concentrated on paying down debt. The operating cash flow anticipated to be received from operations in 2002 and the availability of funds under the working capital loan is anticipated to be sufficient to cover the Company's capital expenditures of approximately $500,000 and any other operating expenses for 2002. 9

The Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments over the next five years and beyond are as follows: [Download Table] Expected Cash Payments by Year (in thousands) ----------------------------------------- 2006 & Contractual Commitments 2002 2003 2004 2005 Beyond Total ----------------------- ------ ------- ------ ---- ------ ------- Revolving credit..................... $ -- $ 6,874 $ -- $-- $ -- $ 6,874 Long term debt....................... 2,447 4,541 1,081 265 1,897 10,231 Capital lease obligations............ 379 362 107 18 3 869 Operating lease obligations.......... 1,028 531 158 81 5 1,803 ------ ------- ------ ---- ------ ------- Total.............................. $3,854 $12,308 $1,346 $364 $1,905 $19,777 ====== ======= ====== ==== ====== ======= The Company's three year Credit Facility expires in January 2003. The credit agreement contains financial covenants related to consolidated net worth, net income and debt and interest expense coverage. The Company was in compliance with the covenants relating to the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2001. The Company expects to renew or replace the Credit Facility prior to its expiration. The Company's lease obligations will increase slightly by the end of 2002 due to the acquisition and resulting financing needed for some new custom equipment. The Company's leases currently carry interest rates ranging from 2.9% to 9.37%. On January 21, 2000, the holder of Common Stock received in the Obdyke Acquisition exercised its option to receive cash proceeds of $500,000. The holder sold the 125,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.25 per share to an unrelated third party. The remaining $226,254, including transfer fees, was paid by the Company. On December 20, 2000, the holder of Common Stock subject to the holder's right to require the Company to purchase or place the shares exercised that right, and the Company purchased the 125,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share. New Accounting Standards In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). This statement requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." Also in July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17 "Intangible Assets." Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is instead, subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. The effective date of SFAS 142 is January 1, 2002, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, which are immediately subject to the provisions of the statement. As of the date of adoption, the Company has unamortized goodwill in the amount of $10,165,850, which will be subject to the transition provisions of the SFASs 141 and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $630,634 and $503,521 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting SFASs 141 and 142, it is not currently practicable to estimate the impact of adopting these statements on the Company's financial statements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," ("SFAS 143") which addresses 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 with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, 10
10-K11th Page of 39TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company is in the process of analyzing the implications of SFAS 143 and does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the net earnings of the Company. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," ("SFAS 144") which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in the process of analyzing the implications of this statement and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the net earnings of the Company. In July 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 ("SAB 102"), "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues." This bulletin summarizes certain of the SEC's views about applying a systematic methodology for determining allowances for loan and lease losses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to receivables in financial statements. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the net earnings of the Company. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Certain accounting estimates and assumptions are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements and possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly. The accounting policies of the Company with respect to significant estimates and assumptions are described below. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts is adjusted according to the Company's past experience from actual losses incurred and potential future losses that could occur. The Company also maintains credit insurance on various accounts to minimize its exposure to potential future losses. Inventory Reserves The Company records its inventory at cost, and writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. 11

Deferred Taxes The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, along with reasonable and prudent tax planning strategies and the expiration dates of carryforwards, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at December 31, 2001. Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements Certain statements contained herein that include forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon are, or could be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are affected by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, performance and achievements expressed or implied in the Company's forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and factors include competition by competitors with more resources than the Company and the cyclical nature of roofing repair. Certain factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company, including forward-looking statements contained herein, are as follows: Increases in the price of raw materials may reduce the Company's profits. The prices of the raw materials the Company utilizes (for example, aluminum, steel, and copper) are subject to fluctuation. The Company may not be able to pass along any or all of these increases to its customers. As a result, increases in the price of raw materials may decrease the profit margin for sales of the Company's products. Downturns in the housing market and the home building and home improvement industry may reduce the level of the Company's sales and profits. Demand for the Company's products is dependent upon the housing market and the home building and home improvement industry which tend to be cyclical in nature and have experienced significant downturns in past years. Negative industry cycles in the future could decrease the Company's sales and profits during those periods. Seasons of extreme weather conditions may reduce the demand for the Company's products. Inclement winter weather and excessively hot and dry summer weather usually cause a reduction in the level of building activity in both the homebuilding and home improvement markets, which in turn may lead to reductions in the Company's sales and profits. The Company has reported losses in the quarters which corresponded to severe winter and summer seasons, including, for example, the Company's first quarter of 2001, in which it reported an 8.7% reduction in sales (excluding sales from recent acquisitions) compared to the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to severe weather experienced in the Company's core markets during that quarter. In addition, the absence of snow and other storms can also lessen the demand for the Company's products by alleviating some of the consumer's need to replace or repair the roofing products which it sells. Any future acquisitions may result in dilution and increased leverage and increased depreciation and amortization expense that may result in losses or reduced profits. The Company may issue equity to finance any future acquisitions. This would dilute the proportionate ownership of the Company's current shareholders and may reduce their per share value. Acquisitions may also lead to increased levels of borrowing. This would result in increased interest expense as well as limit the Company's ability to borrow for internal growth. Acquisitions are also likely to increase the Company's 12
10-K13th Page of 39TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
depreciation and amortization expense. These factors may lead to the Company to incur losses or reduced profits in the future. The Company's attempts to expand its operations may not be successful, and may result in losses or reduced growth of the Company's sales and profits. The Company may seek to expand through acquisitions. However, the Company may not be able to so expand or to identify targets for acquisitions on terms that are attractive to it. If the Company fails to expand its business, the Company's sales may not maintain recent growth rates or may decline. Furthermore, the Company does not know whether its products will be sufficiently accepted to sustain the Company's efforts to expand. As a result, if the Company is unsuccessful in this expansion, the Company's profitability may decline or the Company may incur losses. The Company's failure to successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses could diminish its overall profitability. The process of incorporating newly acquired businesses into the Company's current business can produce increases in expenses or reductions in sales. In some cases, the additional overhead associated with newly acquired operations may not be fully or immediately absorbed by the Company's current operations. For example, in the first quarter of 2001, the Company reported a net loss that was partly attributable to increased selling, administrative and general expenses as a result of its recent acquisitions. In addition, customers that purchased products from the acquired business prior to the acquisition may not purchase products from the Company after the acquisition or may purchase a smaller amount of products. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate the operations of its recently acquired businesses or any subsequently acquired businesses with its current operations, the Company's sales and profits may be reduced. The inability to obtain additional financing may prevent the Company from expanding its current business or acquiring new business. The Company may require additional debt and/or equity financing as a result of its expansion of its existing business or acquisition of new businesses if the Company's current financing is not sufficient. Additional financing may not be available to the Company on advantageous terms or at all, if, for example, the interest rates were unattractive or the Company did not have sufficient collateral available to secure the desired increase in debt. Currently, all of the Company's assets are being used to secure its outstanding debt, so unless the Company acquires unsecured assets or obtain a partial release from the Company's secured creditor of its security interests, the Company would not have available to it any collateral to pledge to new debtors. Any equity financing would dilute the proportionate ownership of the Company's current shareholders and may reduce their per share value. The Company may not be able to successfully compete in its industry and, as result, the Company's level of sales and profits may fall. The Company faces significant competition in connection with the products it provides. There are many other companies engaged in the manufacture and distribution of roof drainage products, and many of these companies have greater financial and other business resources than those possessed by the Company. Further, other companies may enter the Company's area of business in the future. If competition increases, especially with respect to the Company's higher margin products, the Company's sales and profits are likely to decline. The Company's sales and profits may decline if it is unable to retain its key personnel. The Company depends upon the efforts and skills of certain of its key senior executives. The Company's top four executives, Theodore A. Schwartz, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Joseph F. Weiderman, President and Chief Operating Officer, Paul L. Spiese, III, Vice President of Manufacturing, and Francis E. Wellock, Jr., Chief Financial Officer, have a combined 50 years of experience in the Company's business. If the Company loses the services of one or more of these individuals, it may face difficulty replacing any one of them since few successors are available with similar levels of experience in the Company's industry. Competition for senior management is intense, and the Company may not be successful in retaining these key personnel or in attracting 13
10-K14th Page of 39TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
and retaining other key personnel that it may require in the future. The Company's inability to secure replacement personnel in key positions could lead to declining sales and profits through loss of current customers or vendors, through decline in the efficiency of the Company's operations, or through lack of strategic leadership. If the Company is unable to retain its customer base, the Company's level of sales may fall. All sales contracts between the Company and its customers represent a single transaction. As a result, the Company does not have long term commitments from its customers. The Company's current customers may not continue to purchase products from the Company or may not maintain or increase their level of purchases in the future. The Company's sales will decline over time if it cannot retain or replace the demand from the Company's current customers. The Company does not currently pay dividends on the Common Stock and it does not expect to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company expects to retain its future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of its business, and to pay no cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The terms of the Company's current financing agreements limit its payment of dividends, and other agreements the Company enters into may contain terms that limit the amount of dividends it may pay or prohibit any payment of dividends. Trading volume in the Common Stock has historically been limited. There is a limited market for the Common Stock. There can be no assurance that a broader market for the Common Stock will develop. Selling shares of the Common Stock may be difficult because smaller quantities of shares are bought and sold and security analysts' and the news media coverage about the Company is limited. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and asked prices for the shares of Common Stock. Anti-takeover provisions and its right to issue preferred stock could make a third-party acquisition of the Company difficult and limit the price paid for the Company's shares. The Company's articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition, the Company's by-laws provide for a classified board, with each board member serving a three-year term. The board of directors has also adopted a stockholder rights plan, commonly referred to as a "poison pill." The issuance of preferred stock, the existence of a classified board and the stockholder rights plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company without the approval of the Board of Directors. They could also limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Common Stock. Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment portfolio. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments in its portfolio. The Company places its investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards. The Company is adverse to principal loss and ensures the safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's investments consisted of cash and money market funds. The Company does not expect any material loss with respect to its investment portfolio. The Company's financial instruments include debt instruments, which primarily consist of its lines of credit and variable rate term loans. The Company does not actively manage its interest rate risk because the impact of a 10% (approximately 90 basis points) increase in interest rates on its variable rate debt (using year-end debt balance and effective interest rates) would have a relatively nominal after-tax impact on the Company's results of operations. The Company has no derivative or off-balance sheet instruments. 14

Independent Auditors' Report on Financial Statement Schedule To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Berger Holdings, Ltd. Under date of March 7, 2002, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Berger Holdings, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001.

BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Business Organization The Company operates primarily from three manufacturing facilities located in Feasterville, PA, Keller, TX and Atlanta, GA. The Company operates one business segment producing roof drainage and ancillary products. The Company primarily sells to wholesale building product distributors throughout the United States and its territories. The Company routinely grants credit to these distributors. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Berger Financial Corporation, Berger Bros Company, CopperCraft, Inc. and Walker Metal Products, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed by straight-line and accelerated methods using estimated useful lives of generally 5 to 39 years for buildings and improvements and generally 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Improvements are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred. At the time assets are retired or sold, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Other Assets Costs and payments pursuant to noncompetition arrangements entered into in connection with business acquisitions are amortized over the terms of the arrangements. Other intangibles include patents, capitalized acquisition costs and acquired customer lists or markets. Costs related to start-up activities and organization costs are expensed as incurred. All intangibles are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods not exceeding 15 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of intangibles by determining whether the amortization of the asset balance can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows over its remaining life. Goodwill Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over generally 10 to 25 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over the remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of the impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds or fair value of the asset, where appropriate. The assessment of the recoverability of intangible assets will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. Revenue Recognition The Company records revenues on its products when goods are shipped. F-6

BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company accounts for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences, which consist of different tax bases for assets and liabilities than their reported amounts in the financial statements. Such differences result in recognition of income or expense in different years for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Segment Disclosures The Company has one operating segment. This one operating segment is engaged in the production of aluminum, galvanized steel, painted steel and copper roof drainage and specialty metal architectural products. The segment disclosure is consistent with the management decision-making process that determines the allocation of resources and the measuring of performance. Reclassification Certain balances have been reclassed to conform to the current year presentation. The Company has reclassified customer program incentive costs to net sales. Management's Judgments and Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. F-7

BERGER HOLDINGS, LTD. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Accounting Standards Adopted In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, by requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets for liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001, which had no impact on the financial statements or liquidity of the Company. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financial instruments or derivatives. New Accounting Standards In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). This statement requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." Also in July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17 "Intangible Assets." Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is instead, subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. The effective date of SFAS 142 is January 1, 2002, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, which are immediately subject to the provisions of the statement. As of the date of adoption, the Company has unamortized goodwill in the amount of $10,165,850, which will be subject to the transition provisions of the SFASs 141 and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $630,634 for 2001. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting SFASs 141 and 142, it is not currently practicable to estimate the impact of adopting these statements on the Company's financial statements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," ("SFAS 143") which addresses 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 with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company is in the process of analyzing the implications of SFAS 143 and does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the net earnings of the Company. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," ("SFAS 144") which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in the process of analyzing the implications of this statement and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the net earnings of the Company. F-8

Additionally, gains recognized from exchanging debt for common stock are not considered taxable income. However, these gains reduce prior years' net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, along with reasonable and prudent tax planning strategies and the expiration dates of carryforwards, as of December 31, 2001 management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

In conjunction with the transaction, the Company entered into a repurchase agreement whereby the holder of the common stock had the option to require the Company to repurchase the stock at $4.00. These shares have been classified as redeemable common stock in the consolidated financial statements. On January 21, 2000, the holder of the common stock exercised its option to receive cash proceeds of $500,000. The holder sold the 125,000 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share to an unrelated third party. The remaining $226,254, including transfer fees, was paid by the Company.

Effective as of January 1, 1999, the 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for 10% Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the "10% Debentures") due January 2, 2004. The 10% Debentures were convertible at any time into 23.53 common shares for each $100 of principal amount of the 10% Debentures outstanding on the conversion date subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The 10% Debentures were pre- payable only when the Company's common stock trades above $9.00 per share for 10 consecutive days. Simultaneously with the exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company extended the exercise date on the 300,000 common stock warrants from January 2, 2003 to December 31, 2003. Effective September 30, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which: (a) one of the Company's 10% Debentures in the principal amount of $2,500,000 was amended and restated to (i) increase the interest rate from 10% to 11%, (ii) delete the conversion provisions, and (iii) provide for a prepayment premium; (b) a stock purchase warrant for the purchase of 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock held was canceled; and (c) 125,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the holder of the F-15
