Ameron International Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In Thousands Except Share Data)
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis Of Presentation

Consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Ameron International Corporation (the "Company" or "Ameron") at May 31, 2001, and its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2001 and 2000, and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2001 and 2000. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements do not include certain footnote disclosures and financial information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Ameron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2000.

Note 2.  Accounting Change

Effective December 1, 2000, Ameron adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. The Company uses derivative products, such as forward and option contracts, primarily to hedge the foreign currency market exposures which affect certain assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions with customers and vendors. The Company designates such derivatives primarily as fair value hedges. As of both May 31, 2001 and December 1, 2000, the fair value of derivatives held by the Company were not significant. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at December 1, 2000 did not result in a cumulative adjustment to either income or other comprehensive income for a change in accounting principle.

In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," and further amended it to defer the effective date. SAB 101 summarized certain of the SEC's views on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to revenue recognition. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SAB 101 no later than November 30, 2001. The Company does not believe SAB 101 will have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 3.  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories were comprised of the following:

Ameron's equity in earnings of joint ventures is included in other income.

Note 6.  Net Income Per Share

Net income per basic share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each period. Net income per diluted share is computed on the basis of the weighted average total of common shares outstanding each period plus the effect of outstanding stock options, excluding those that would be anti-dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Ameron International Corporation and Subsidiaries
May 31, 2001

INTRODUCTION

Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the same discussion included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reference should also be made to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for comparative consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended of May 31, 2001 the Company generated $8.3 million of cash from operating activities compared to using $6.4 million for the same period in 2000. The higher operating cash flow came from improved operating results and lower working capital requirements.

Cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures for normal replacement and upgrades of machinery and equipment and the construction of a new pole manufacturing plant in Anniston, Alabama. Management estimates that capital expenditures during fiscal 2001 will be between $20.0 million and $25.0 million. Capital expenditures will be funded by existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and additional borrowings.

Cash and additional net borrowings of $8.7 million were used to finance operations, for capital expenditures and for payment of common stock dividends of $2.5 million. During the quarter, the Company issued $8.5 million tax-exempt industrial development bonds associated with the new pole manufacturing plant in Anniston, Alabama, which was completed in June.

Cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2001 totaled $13.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million from November 30, 2000.

At May 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $104.0 million in unused committed and uncommitted credit lines available from foreign and domestic banks.

The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand, anticipated cash flows from operations and funds from existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet future operating requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company earned $7.1 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, on sales of $143.7 million during the second quarter of 2001, compared to $6.2 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, on sales of $140.2 million during same period in 2000. The sales improvement came from the Performance Coatings & Finishes and Fiberglass-Composite Pipe Groups, offset by a decline by the Water Transmission Group. Net income improved primarily because of the improved performance of the Performance Coatings & Finishes and the Water Transmission Groups.

Sales for the six months ended May 31, 2001 were $265.3 million, compared to $261.5 million during the first half of 2000. All operating groups, except Water Transmission, had higher sales. Net income was $8.7 million, or $2.20 per diluted share for the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to $7.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted share in the same period in 2000. Profits increase because of higher earnings from Performance Coatings & Finishes, offsetting lower results from the Infrastructure Products Group and Ameron's joint venture, TAMCO.

Sales of the Water Transmission Group decreased about $4.0 million in the second quarter and $9.2 million in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000. Sales were

10


lower because of the slow bidding activity during the second half of 2000 and the timing of projects. Segment profits increased $1.1 million in the second quarter and were flat for the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000, as a result of a change in project and product mix. As expected, backlog increased from $51 million at the beginning of the year to $121 million at the end of May 2001. Although a sizable portion of the backlog will be converted to sales in 2002, the current level of orders bodes well for the remainder of 2001.

Sales of the Company's worldwide Fiberglass-Composite Pipe business increased $2.9 million in the second quarter and $5.1 million in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000. Sales increased because of the continued worldwide demand for oil field piping and deliveries made to a water project in California. Segment profits decreased by $0.6 million in the second quarter and increased $0.2 million in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000 as a result of changes in product mix and plant utilization. Overall, the outlook for Fiberglass-Composite Pipe remains positive because of the demand for oil field piping.

Sales of the Performance Coatings & Finishes Group increased $4.0 million in the second quarter and $5.1 in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000. The increase was due to the continued improvement of the U.S. and European petrochemical and rail markets, offsetting lower sales of industrial finishes caused by weaker economic conditions in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand. Segment profits increased because of higher sales in the second quarter and six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000. The outlook for Performance Coatings & Finishes remains positive for the second half of 2001.

Sales of the Infrastructure Products Group increased $0.6 million in the second quarter and $3.3 in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000. Segment profits were lower for the second quarter and six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000, because of the start-up costs associated with a new pole plant in Alabama and initial development costs for an expansion of Ameron's principal rock quarry in Hawaii. Ameron's Alabama pole plant will produce state-of-the-art, decorative, concrete lighting poles for sale to the major markets in the Southeast.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were lower in the second quarter and six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to the same periods of 2000, primarily due to lower insurance and benefit costs and lower customer claims.

Other income decreased to $4.9 million in the second quarter and $6.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to $5.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2000. The decrease reflected lower equity income from TAMCO, which was impacted by the energy situation in California.

The effective tax rate was 28% in the second quarter and six months ended May 31, 2001, compared to 25% for the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate reflects the anticipated income taxes on income from domestic operations, as well as foreign operations and joint ventures, which are taxed at rates lower than U.S. statutory tax rates.

During the quarter, the Company issued $8.5 million tax-exempt industrial development bonds associated with the new pole manufacturing plant in Anniston, Alabama. The variable interest rate on the bonds is market based and is currently 3.25%. No material changes have occurred in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosure of the Company as presented in Ameron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2000.
