3 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on our historical financial statements, adjusted to give effect to the following: - our acquisition of Ag-Chem, including acquisition-related debt and equity transactions and other assumptions; - the issuance of $250 million in senior notes pursuant to this offering and the application of the net proceeds to reduce borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility; - the refinancing of our existing revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility; and - the funding of a $100 million European accounts receivable securitization facility and the funding of an additional $35 million under our existing U.S. accounts receivable securitization facility with the application of the net proceeds to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The pro forma combined statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2000 give effect to the above transactions as if the transactions occurred as of January 1, 2000. The pro forma combined balance sheet data gives effect to the above transactions as if the transactions had occurred on December 31, 2000. The pro forma financial information has been presented with separate subtotals to show the effect of the Ag-Chem acquisition, this offering and our new credit facility prior to showing the effect of the funding of our new European securitization facility and the additional funding under the U.S. securitization facility. This offering is not conditioned on the closing of our acquisition of Ag-Chem or the new European securitization facility. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and assumptions that our management believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent our results of operations or financial position for any future period or as of any date. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in this document and Ag-Chem's historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in a Form 8-K that Ag-Chem filed April 2, 2001. The pro forma financial information as it relates to the acquisition is based on Ag-Chem's historical financial statements updated to conform with our calendar year-end by adding Ag-Chem's quarter ended December 31, 2000 to Ag-Chem's year ended September 30, 2000 and deducting Ag-Chem's quarter ended December 31, 1999. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We will be the accounting acquirer and therefore the pro forma financial statements are presented with us as the acquirer. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase cost and fair value of liabilities assumed will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Ag-Chem according to their respective fair values as of the closing of the acquisition which will be determined based on valuations and other studies that are not yet available. A preliminary allocation of the purchase cost has been made to major categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying pro forma consolidated financial information based on estimates. The actual allocation of purchase cost and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts included herein. Except as explained in notes 2 and 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet, we have assumed that the current recorded book value of Ag-Chem's assets, including patents, trademarks, and property, plant and equipment, and liabilities are equal to their current fair value. Once we have access to Ag-Chem's detailed asset records, we will make an allocation of the purchase price to these assets based on detailed valuations, which may change the amounts of currently recorded book values of Ag-Chem's assets and liabilities thereby changing the amount of goodwill reflected in these pro forma financial statements. In addition, we will review the estimated remaining lives of the assets, which may affect the resulting depreciation and amortization relating to these assets, and accordingly, may affect net earnings and the pro forma results of operations included herein.

5 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (1) To reclassify Ag-Chem's engineering expenses and amortization of intangibles from selling, general and administrative expenses to separate line items to conform with our presentation. (2) To reflect the increase in goodwill amortization from the preliminary purchase price allocation of the net assets acquired in the acquisition assuming a 40-year amortization period (see Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet). (3) To reflect the increase in interest expense with respect to borrowings expected to be incurred in connection with the cash portion of the purchase price, assuming that the market price of our common stock is $9.73 per share (see Note 6 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet) at an assumed interest rate of 7.0%, which is the current incremental borrowing rate under our existing revolving credit facility. The actual interest rate under our existing revolving credit facility and under our new revolving credit facility may differ from 7.0%. Accordingly, for every 0.125% variance in the interest rate, annual interest expense will vary by approximately $0.2 million. (4) To reflect the increase in depreciation expense from adjusting certain Ag-Chem office buildings to estimated market value. (5) To reclassify the equity in net earnings of Ag-Chem's unconsolidated joint ventures from other income to equity in net earnings in affiliates on an after-tax basis to conform with our presentation. (6) To reflect an income tax provision for the net pro forma acquisition adjustments, after taking into consideration non-deductible goodwill amortization. (7) To adjust the weighted average shares outstanding for shares issued in connection with the common stock portion of the purchase price. This adjustment is based on the market price of our common stock of $9.73 on March 28, 2001. In the event the price of our common stock differs at the closing date, the number of shares issued as consideration in the acquisition may differ from the number of shares included in the pro forma adjustment. (8) The amounts of cash and common stock in the purchase price will vary depending on the price of our common stock at the closing date. The preceding Pro Forma Statements of Operations assume a closing common stock price of $9.73 per share (the closing price as of March 28, 2001). Assuming a common stock price at closing of $8.00 and $12.00 per share, the resulting interest expense, net loss, net loss per common share and weighted average shares outstanding, would be as follows: TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 ------------------------- (IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Closing stock price......................................... $ 8.00 $ 12.00 ------ ------- Interest expense, net....................................... $ 58.8 $ 56.3 Net loss....................................................

6 (9) To adjust interest expense in connection with this offering and the new revolving credit facility as follows: To reflect an increase in interest expense related to the refinancing of borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility at a weighted average rate of 7.2% with net proceeds of this offering being offered at a rate of 9.0%, including the amortization of deferred issuance costs and related expenses................................ $ 5.5 To reflect an increase in interest expense from the refinancing of the existing revolving credit facility with net proceeds from the new revolving credit facility based on an increase in interest rates of 1.0% for the new credit facility over the existing credit facility on average borrowings in 2000 adjusted for the acquisition and this offering. The actual increase in interest rates under the new credit facility compared to the existing credit facility may differ from the assumed increase of 1.0%. For every 0.125% change in interest rates under the new credit facility, interest expense would change by approximately $0.3 million................................ 2.3 To reflect a decrease in the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the existing revolving credit facility compared to the new revolving credit facility. The pro forma adjustment excludes the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the existing revolving credit facility of approximately $1.7 million, which will be recorded upon the closing of the new revolving credit facility . .............................. (1.5) ----- $ 6.3 ===== (10) To reflect an income tax provision for the net pro forma adjustments related to this offering, the new revolving credit facility and the fundings under the securitization facilities. (11) To reduce interest expense associated with the reduction of revolving credit facility indebtedness of $133.9 million from proceeds, net of transaction fees and expenses, from fundings under the European securitization facility and additional funding under the U.S. securitization facility at a current weighted average borrowing rate of 7.5%. (12) To reflect an increase in other expense, net associated with losses on sales of accounts receivable in connection with funding of $100.0 million under the European securitization facility and funding of an additional $35.0 million under the U.S. securitization facility. The amounts included in the pro forma adjustment exclude the one-time, up-front loss on the initial sale of receivables under the securitization facilities estimated to be $1.6 million and transaction fees and expenses estimated to be $1.1 million, which will be expensed at the closing of the European securitization facility.
