                     THOMAS INDUSTRIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Thomas
Industries Inc. ("Thomas" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2005. In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and the results of operations. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included elsewhere in
this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

On January 10, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of the side channel
blower business of Ruey Chaang Electric Co., Ltd. of Taipei, Taiwan for
approximately $12 million. A partial payment of $8.4 million in cash was paid in
January 2005, with the balance payable in the third quarter of 2005. A
preliminary purchase price allocation was made and reflected in the June 30,
2005 financial statements. This allocation is preliminary as the Company gathers
additional information regarding the fair value of assets acquired. Accordingly,
the amounts recorded will change as the allocation is finalized.

The aggregate purchase price consists of (in thousands):


                              
Cash                             $12,000
Transaction costs                    185
                                 -------
Total aggregate purchase price   $12,185
                                 =======


The following summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired at
the date of acquisition (in thousands):


                             
Cash                            $    53
Inventory                           674
Property, plant and equipment       885
Other intangibles                 4,476
                                -------
                                  6,088

Goodwill                          6,097
                                -------
Aggregate purchase price        $12,185
                                =======


The other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over a
useful life range of three to ten years. The goodwill is allocated to the Pump
and Compressor Segment.


                                        7



On June 3, 2004, the Company received approximately $6.2 million in cash, which
represents an adjustment to the Company's purchase price of Werner Rietschle
Holding GmbH ("Rietschle"). Rietschle was acquired on August 29, 2002. The
original purchase price consisted of $83.3 million in cash and 1.8 million
treasury shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase agreement specified
the negotiation process to be followed for various items in dispute, so that an
adjustment to the purchase price could occur at a subsequent time. In June 2004,
negotiations on certain disputed items were completed and this adjustment
reduced goodwill by $6.2 million. Other adjustments could occur in the future
related to representations and warranties per the purchase agreement.

In estimating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
the Rietschle transaction, management considered a number of factors, including
collectibility of accounts receivable, net realizable value and replacement cost
of inventory, and the values of liabilities. In addition, an independent
appraiser was used to assist in determining the value of property, plant and
equipment and other intangible assets; however, management is ultimately
responsible for the values recorded.

The adjusted aggregate purchase price for Rietschle consists of (in thousands):


                                          
Initial cash paid by the Company             $ 83,288
Fair value of Thomas common stock              44,754
Transaction costs                               5,931
Purchase price adjustment received in cash     (6,154)
                                             --------
Total adjusted aggregate purchase price      $127,819
                                             ========


NOTE C - SALE OF 32% INTEREST IN GTG

Effective with the close of business on July 31, 2004, the Company sold its 32%
joint venture interest in the Genlyte Thomas Group LLC (GTG), which the Company
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, to The Genlyte Group
Incorporated (Nasdaq: GLYT) for approximately $400.9 million in cash.
Approximately $102.7 million of the proceeds were used to pay down long-term
debt on August 2, 2004. Approximately $80.5 million of the proceeds were used to
pay a portion of the income taxes (due on the gain) and transaction costs during
the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

The Company's adjusted book basis in GTG as of July 31, 2004 was as follows (in
millions):


                                                 
Investment in GTG at July 31, 2004                  $230.5
Thomas' adjustment for accelerated option expense
   treated as a transaction cost                      (0.2)
Other comprehensive loss items:
   Minimum pension liability                           5.5
   Foreign currency translation                        0.5
                                                    ------
Adjusted GTG book basis at July 31, 2004            $236.3
                                                    ======



                                        8



The gain on the sale of GTG, which the Company recorded in the third quarter of
2004, was calculated as follows (in millions, except per share amount):


                                    
Total sale price                       $ 400.9
Transaction costs                         (4.2)
                                       -------
Net proceeds                             396.7
Adjusted book basis at July 31, 2004    (236.3)
                                       -------
Pre-tax book gain                        160.4
Income taxes                             (76.3)
                                       -------
Net after-tax gain                     $  84.1
                                       =======
Earnings per share - diluted           $  4.74
                                       =======


This gain calculation is an estimate subject to final determination of taxes of
the transaction when tax returns are filed in 2005. The effective income tax
rate recorded on the gain of 47.6% is primarily due to the basis differences for
financial reporting and tax purposes in the partnership interest in GTG.

NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES

On August 13, 2002, a petition was filed in the District Court of Jefferson
County, Texas, adding Thomas Industries Inc. as a third party defendant in a
lawsuit captioned Hydro Action, Inc. v. Jesse James, individually and d/b/a
James Backhoe Service of Dietrich, Illinois, Inc. and Original Septic Solutions,
Inc. (the "Third Party Plaintiffs") (the "Original Lawsuit"). The Original
Lawsuit alleged that the Company violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act and breached warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose with respect to pumps sold by the Company and used in septic tanks
manufactured or sold by the plaintiffs. The Original Lawsuit was stayed as a
result of the bankruptcy filing by Hydro Action, Inc. On October 8, 2003, a
lawsuit was filed against the Company, Gig Drewery, Yasunaga Corporation and
Aqua-Partners, Ltd. in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, making the
same allegations set forth in the Original Lawsuit and requesting class-action
certification. No class has been certified. The Third Party Plaintiffs are
plaintiffs in this action. This complaint has been amended to include 32
plaintiffs as of June 30, 2005. The complaint currently seeks $3 million per
plaintiff and punitive and exemplary damages. The total sales related to these
products were approximately $900,000. On September 29, 2004, the case was
remanded to state court in Jefferson County and the stay is no longer in place.
Although this litigation is in the preliminary stages, the Company believes it
has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend this
matter. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the Company cannot
guarantee the outcome of these proceedings. However, based upon information
currently available, the Company does not believe that the outcome of this
proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to other legal
proceedings and claims. When costs can be reasonably estimated, appropriate
liabilities for such matters are recorded. While management currently believes
the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not
materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity of the Company, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain.
Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, the impact could be material to the
Company.

The Company, like other similar manufacturers, is subject to environmental rules
and regulations regarding the use, disposal and cleanup of substances regulated
under environmental protection laws. It is the Company's policy to comply with
these rules and regulations, and the Company believes that its practices and
procedures are designed to meet this compliance.

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations that require remediation efforts at several locations including
both current and former operating facilities. One of the most significant sites
was a former manufacturing facility, which is located in Beaver Dam, Kentucky.
Since 1992, the Company has been working under an Agreed Order with the Kentucky
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet to remediate this site.
The Company has completed all closure activities and has received approval for
implementation of a post-closure plan.

In 2004, a letter was received from the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (WDNR) indicating that the Company was solely responsible for
remediation of a former manufacturing facility located in Fort Atkinson,
Wisconsin, which was sold by the Company in 1985. In response to WDNR's demand,
the Company has engaged a consultant to perform an initial hydrogeologic site
investigation. This initial site investigation found elevated levels of volatile
organic compounds including tetrachlorothene and its daughter products. This
site investigation will be expanded to determine the extent of the contamination
and to develop a remediation work plan. The Company provided a reserve of
$900,000 and $200,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively,
for anticipated future costs associated with remediation of this site.

The Company's policy is to provide for environmental reserves on a discounted
basis, when appropriate. Environmental reserves are subject to numerous inherent
uncertainties that affect the ability to estimate future costs of required
remediation efforts. Such uncertainties involve the nature and extent of
contamination, the extent of required cleanup efforts under existing
environmental regulations, widely varying costs of alternate cleanup methods,
changes in environmental regulations, the potential effect of continuing
improvements in remediation technology and the financial strength of other
potentially responsible parties at multiparty sites. Reserves are reviewed for
adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjusted, if necessary, as environmental
assessment and remediation efforts proceed.

Changes in the Company's environmental reserve at June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as

NOTE I - LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of
long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and intangible
assets with determinable lives) whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The
Company evaluates events or changes in circumstances based on a number of
factors including operating results, business plans and forecasts, general and
industry trends and economic projections and anticipated


                                       12



cash flows. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash
flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses
are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its
fair value and are recognized in earnings. The Company also continually
evaluates the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets and when warranted
revise such estimates based on current events. There were no significant
impairment charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

NOTE K - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock options are granted under various stock compensation programs to employees
and independent directors. In December 2003, the Company adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of accounting for stock-based compensation under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123") which required the Company to expense the fair value
of employee stock options prospectively for all employee awards granted,
modified or settled after January 1, 2003. Awards under the Company's plan vest
over a period of five years. For employee stock options granted prior to 2003,
the Company continues to use the intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the
estimated fair value of the options granted prior to 2003 is amortized to
expense over the options' vesting period.

Included in stock option activity, but accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.
123, are options granted to GTG employees, for which the Company has recorded
compensation expense. This compensation expense, shown net of tax, is also
included in the pro forma information below for only the 2004 period, since the
Company sold its 32% joint venture interest in GTG on July 31, 2004.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested
awards in each period.

Note L - Product Warranty Costs


The Company generally offers warranties for most of its products for periods
from one to five years. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties
vary depending on the product sold and country in which the Company does
business. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its
warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time
product revenue is recognized.


                                       14



Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include that number of
units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per
claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty
liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Changes in the Company's warranty liability for the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE M - CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet and
all changes in fair value are recorded to earnings or to shareholders' equity
through other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended,
"Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activity" (SFAS 133).

The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its exposures to
the variability of cash flows primarily related to the purchase of inventory
manufactured in Europe but inventoried and sold in non Euro-denominated
countries. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.

All of the Company's derivative contracts are adjusted to current market values
each period and qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. The periodic gains
and losses of the contracts designated as cash flows are deferred in other
comprehensive income until the underlying transactions are recognized. Upon
recognition, such gains and losses are recorded in operations as an adjustment
to the carrying amounts of the underlying transactions in the period in which
these transactions are recognized. The carrying values of derivative contracts
are included in other current assets.

The Company's policy requires that contracts used as hedges must be effective at
reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be
designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Hedging effectiveness is
assessed periodically. Any contract that is either not designated as a hedge, or
is so designated but is ineffective, is marked to market and recognized in
earnings immediately. If a cash flow hedge ceases to qualify for hedge
accounting or is terminated, the contract would continue to be carried on the
balance sheet at fair value until settled and future adjustments to the
contract's fair value would be recognized in earnings immediately. If a
forecasted transaction were no longer probable to occur, amounts previously
deferred in other comprehensive income would be recognized immediately in
earnings.

As of June 30, 2005, no contributions have been made, but the Company
anticipates contributions to the plans of $670,000 for 2005.

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act"), which introduces a Medicare prescription
drug benefit, as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care
benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to
the Medicare benefit, was enacted. On May 19, 2004, the FASB issued Financial
Staff Position No. 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003", ("FSP
106-2") to discuss certain accounting and disclosure issues raised by the Act.
FSP 106-2 addresses accounting for the federal subsidy for the sponsors of
single employer defined benefit postretirement healthcare plans and disclosure
requirements for plans for which the employer has not yet been able to determine
actuarial equivalency. Except for certain nonpublic entities, FSP 106-2 is
effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004.
The Company has not yet concluded whether the prescription drug benefits
provided under its postretirement plan are actuarially equivalent to the
Medicare benefit as necessary to qualify for the subsidy. The reported net
periodic benefit costs of the postretirement plan in the table above do not
reflect the effects of the Act. Adoption of FSP 106-2 could require revisions to
previously reported information. While we may be eligible for benefits under the
Act based on the prescription drug benefits provided in our postretirement plan,
the Company does not believe such benefits will have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

NOTE O - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and
include tax advantaged debt securities with original maturities ranging from
four to 38 years. These debt securities are callable at par value (cost) based
on seven to 35 days notification to the bondholders. The Company has the option
to either sell or put these securities every seven to 35 days and these
securities will normally be held for less than one year. The securities are
carried on the balance sheet at fair market value, which is equivalent to cost.
Current period adjustments to the carrying value of available-for-sale
securities would be included in accumulated other comprehensive income within
stockholder's equity. Because of the nature of all these investments, cost does
not differ from fair market value, so there are no such adjustments to the
carrying value.

NOTE P - EXIT COSTS FOR WUPPERTAL, GERMANY FACILITY

In February 2004, the Company announced the closing of its Wuppertal, Germany
manufacturing facility in an effort to further consolidate its European
manufacturing operations and strengthen its market position by concentrating its
product, logistics, and engineering capacity. The exit activities were completed
by December 31, 2004, with the exception of some minor severance which could be
paid in 2005. The following table describes the 2004 activity and the exit
liability as of December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

In addition to the $1,650,000 exit charge noted above, the Company has recorded
$1,186,000 of additional charges in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004
which include costs to coordinate the facility shutdown ($488,000), fixed asset
disposal and other charges to write down assets to net realizable value
($455,000) and training and other costs related to the transfer of production
from the Wuppertal facility ($243,000). The carrying value of assets held for
sale related to the Wuppertal facility is not significant.

Approximately $2.7 million of the costs associated with this exit activity were
recorded in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of the Pump and
Compressor Segment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, while $0.1
million of expense related to loss on asset disposal was recorded in Other
Income (Expense) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The first
quarter of 2004 included expenses of $0.8 million, which were recorded in SG&A
expenses.

No additional exit cost charges or other shutdown related expenses are expected
related to the Wuppertal facility.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Thomas Industries Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thomas
Industries Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Thomas Industries
Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was comprised of foreign currency
translation gains (losses) of $47,922,000, $30,143,000 and ($4,580,000), and
minimum pension liabilities, net of tax, of ($1,356,000), ($6,286,000) and
($6,257,000), at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The change in
the minimum pension liabilities was primarily due to the GTG sale transaction.
Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included gains of
$392,000 and $111,000, net of tax, from derivative adjustments, at December 31,
2004 and 2003.

                             THOMAS INDUSTRIES INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2004

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Thomas Industries Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or Thomas) and
affiliates operates in the Pump and Compressor Segment which designs,
manufactures and sells pumps and compressors for use in global original
equipment manufacturing (OEM) applications as well as construction equipment,
systems and laboratory equipment. The Company also provides aftermarket service
and spare parts to support OEM and end-user customers around the world.
Manufacturing facilities and sales and distribution operations are located in
North America and Europe, with additional sales and distribution operations
located in Asia, Australia and South America. A new manufacturing facility in
Asia will begin operations in 2005. Through July 31, 2004, the Company also
operated in the Lighting Segment through its 32% interest in Genlyte Thomas
Group LLC (GTG). GTG, which was formed August 30, 1998, designs, manufactures,
markets and sells lighting products principally in North America for commercial,
industrial and residential applications.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Effective August 30, 1998, the Company and The Genlyte Group Incorporated
(Genlyte) formed GTG, combining Thomas' and Genlyte's lighting businesses.
Effective with the close of business on July 31, 2004, the Company sold its
interest in GTG. Genlyte had a 68% interest in GTG, and Thomas held a 32%
interest, which was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.
Affiliates not required to be consolidated are accounted for using the equity
method, under which the Company's share of earnings of these affiliates is
included in income as earned. Intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with initial
maturities of three months or less.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and
include tax advantaged debt securities with original maturities ranging from
four to 38 years. These debt securities are callable at par value (cost) based
on seven to 35 days notification to the bondholders. The Company has the option
to either sell or put these securities every seven to 35 days and these
securities will normally be held for less than one year. The securities are
carried on the balance sheet at fair market value, which is equivalent to cost.
Current period adjustments to the carrying value of available-for-sale
securities would be included in accumulated other comprehensive income within
shareholders' equity. Because of the nature of all these investments, cost does
not differ from fair market value, so there are no such adjustments to the
carrying value.


                                       24



FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments, trade receivables and payables. The carrying amounts for
these instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The
Company also uses forward currency exchange contracts which are recorded at fair
value on the balance sheet. See further discussion of these forward currency
exchange contracts under "Currency Risk Management" included in footnote 2.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Assets that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk
are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments in investment grade,
short-term instruments which limits the amount of credit exposure. Investment
policies have been implemented which limit short-term investments to investment
grade securities with multiple financial institutions which limits credit
exposure. The Company sells products and services to customers in diversified
industries and geographic regions and provides credit to most of these
customers. The Company continuously evaluates the creditworthiness of its
customers and generally does not require collateral. No single customer accounts
for more than 10% of annual sales. Based on the Company's wide variety of
customers and markets, concentration of credit risk in accounts receivable is
not considered significant.

INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories valued
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method represented approximately 21% and 23%
of consolidated inventories at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Inventories not on LIFO are valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories at December 31 consist of the following:



                          2004      2003
                        -------   -------

Total inventories ...   $75,207   $65,895
                        =======   =======


     On a current cost basis, inventories would have been $4,957,000 and
$4,639,000 higher than reported at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated principally by the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 31.5
years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of minor items are
expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Property,
plant and equipment at December 31 consisted of the following:



                                                   2004        2003

                                                =========   =========


     Depreciation expense relating to property, plant and equipment, which
includes capital lease items, was approximately $15,410,000, $14,361,000 and
$9,772,000 during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


                                       25



     Capital leases for land, building, machinery and equipment, autos and
software included above were $14,418,000 and $13,337,000 at December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Accumulated depreciation on capital leases was
$3,355,000 and $2,039,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Beginning in 2002 with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but instead are
tested for impairment by applying a fair-value based test at least annually, and
more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment.

     The statement requires a two-step process for impairment testing. The first
step, used to identify potential impairment only, compares the fair value of the
reporting unit, which is a level below the reportable segments disclosed in Note
13 - "Industry Segment Information", with its net carrying amount on the
financial statements. Fair value of the reporting unit is estimated based on the
present value of estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. If the fair
value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not
considered impaired; thus the second step of the process is not necessary. If
the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step
of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss, if any. If the carrying value of goodwill on the financial
statements exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, the difference must be
recognized as an impairment loss. Implied fair value of goodwill shall be
determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business
combination is determined.

     If the carrying amount of an intangible asset with an indefinite life
exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to
the excess. Separate intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite
life continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

     The Company tested the goodwill of all its reporting units for impairment
during the fourth quarter of 2004. This assessment did not indicate any
impairment.

     The changes in net carrying amounts of goodwill for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows (in thousands):



                                             2004       2003

     The goodwill included in the balance sheets is related to the Pump and
Compressor Segment.

     Certain intangible assets have definite lives and are being amortized.
Amortizable intangible assets at December 31 consist of the following (in
thousands):



                            2004                             2003

     The total intangible amortization expense for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002 was $930,000, $846,000 and $696,000, respectively.


                                       26



The estimated amortization expense for the next five years consists of the
following (in thousands):


        
2005 ...   $1,002
2006 ...    1,002
2007 ...      991
2008 ...      938
2009 ...      829


     The Company has various trademarks totaling $13,876,000 and $12,831,000 at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, that are not amortized. Also included
in other intangible assets is an intangible asset associated with the minimum
pension liability of $692,000 and $786,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying
amount of long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and
intangible assets with determinable lives) whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully
recoverable. We evaluate events or changes in circumstances based on a number of
factors including operating results, business plans and forecasts, general and
industry trends and economic projections and anticipated cash flows. An
impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived
from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured
as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and
are recognized in earnings. We also continually evaluate the estimated useful
lives of all long-lived assets and when warranted revise such estimates based on
current events. There were no significant impairment charges recorded in 2004
and 2003, but during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $594,000
change in the Pump and Compressor Segment's cost of sales to write-down certain
assets to market value.

EXIT COSTS FOR WUPPERTAL, GERMANY FACILITY

     In February 2004, the Company announced the closing of its Wuppertal,
Germany manufacturing facility in an effort to further consolidate its European
manufacturing operations and strengthen its market position by concentrating its
product, logistics, and engineering capacity. The exit activities were completed
by December 31, 2004, with the exception of some minor severance which could be
paid in 2005. The following table describes the 2004 activity and the exit
liability as of December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

     In addition to the $1,650,000 exit charge noted above, the Company has
recorded $1,186,000 of additional charges in the twelve months ended December
31, 2004 which include costs to coordinate the facility shutdown ($488,000),
fixed asset disposal and other charges to write down assets to net realizable
value ($455,000) and training and other costs related to the transfer of
production from the Wuppertal facility ($243,000). The carrying value of assets
held for sale related to the Wuppertal facility is not significant.

     Approximately $2.7 million of the costs associated with this exit activity
were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Pump and
Compressor Segment, while $0.1 million of expense related to loss on asset
disposal was recorded in Other Income.

     No additional exit cost charges or other shutdown related expenses are
expected related to the Wuppertal facility.


                                       27



FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The local currency is the functional currency for the Company's foreign
subsidiaries. Operating results are translated into U.S. dollars using monthly
average exchange rates, while balance sheet accounts are translated using
year-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are included as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders'
equity.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately 14.3% of its
workforce represented by labor unions. Union contracts have varying expiration
dates beginning with June 30, 2005 and ending with March 7, 2008. Management
does not expect the expiration and renegotiation of these agreements to have a
significant impact on 2004 or 2005 results of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenue from product sales is recognized upon title transfer, which occurs
upon shipment, based on customary terms of sale, which are FOB shipping point.
The Company does have exceptions to this general policy which are described as
follows:

     1)   Revenues from service and repair activities have been equal to or
          below 6% of total sales in 2004, 2003 and 2002. Most of these service
          and repair revenues do not involve a shipment of product, but instead,
          relate to the performance of a service or repair. Billings for these
          activities are not made until the service activity has occurred. There
          are other instances where the Company offers customers an annual
          service contract, which is invoiced in twelve monthly billings.

     2)   There are instances where the Company has consignment inventory
          arrangements and in these instances, revenue is not recorded upon
          shipment to the original customer. Revenue is only recorded when the
          original customer ships the inventory to their customer or uses it for
          other purposes. These consignment inventory arrangements are
          insignificant in amount in all periods presented.

     3)   There are instances where the terms of sale are FOB destination. The
          Company records accounting entries at the end of reporting periods, to
          make sure these revenues are deferred to the subsequent period. These
          instances are insignificant in amount in all periods presented.

     Credit is extended based on local business customs and practices, and
collateral is not required. The Company estimates and records provisions for
warranties in the period the related products are sold. The warranty liabilities
are established based upon management's assessment of the various product
warranty periods, historical data and trends of warranty claims paid, and any
current information regarding specific warranty issues. While the Company
engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, should actual
product failure rates differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty
liability would be required.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Research and development costs, which include costs of product improvements
and design, are expensed as incurred ($22,131,000 in 2004, $19,736,000 in 2003,
and $11,789,000 in 2002).

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

     All shipping and handling amounts billed to a customer in a sale
transaction are classified as revenue. In addition to shipping and handling
costs included in cost of products sold, the Company also has shipping and
handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaling
$5,817,000, $4,765,000 and $1,736,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


                                       28



PRODUCT WARRANTY COSTS

     The Company generally offers warranties for most of its products for
periods from one to five years. The specific terms and conditions of these
warranties vary depending on the product sold and country in which the Company
does business. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its
warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product
revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability
include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty
claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of
its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.

     Changes in the Company's warranty liability for December 31 are as follows
(in thousands):

ADVERTISING COSTS

     Advertising costs consist of expenses related to promoting the Company's
products, including trade shows, web development, advertising and collateral
material, and are charged to expense when incurred. Advertising expense was
$3,234,000, $3,306,000, and $2,142,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     Stock options are granted under various stock compensation programs to
employees and independent directors (see Note 9, "Shareholders' Equity"). In
December 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
accounting for stock-based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS 123) which
requires the Company to expense the fair value of employee stock options
prospectively for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after
January 1, 2003. Awards under the Company's plan vest over a period of five
years. Therefore, the cost related to stock-based employee compensation included
in the determination of net income for 2003 is less than that which would have
been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards
since the original effective date of Statement 123. For employee stock options
granted prior to 2003, the Company continues to use the intrinsic value based
method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). For purposes of pro forma
disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options granted prior to 2003 is
amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

     Included in stock option activity, but accounted for in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, are options granted to GTG employees, for which the Company has
recorded compensation expense. This compensation expense, shown net of tax, is
also included in the pro forma information on the following table.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 151 (FASB 151), Inventory Costs. The Company is required to adopt
the provisions of FASB 151, on a prospective basis, as of January 1, 2006. FASB
151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material. FASB 151 requires that those items
- if abnormal - be recognized as expenses in the period incurred. In addition,
FASB 151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversions based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. The
Company has not yet determined what effect FASB 151 will have on its earnings
and financial position.

     In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004) (FASB 123R), Share-Based Payment. FASB 123R will require
the Company to expense share-based payments, including employee stock options,
based on their fair value. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of
FASB 123R effective as of the beginning of its third quarter in 2005, however,
earlier adoption in 2005 is allowed. FASB 123R provides alternative methods of
adoption which include prospective application and a modified retroactive
application. The Company adopted the fair-value method of accounting for
share-based payments effective January 1, 2003 using the prospective method
described in FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton
formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects
to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required
adoption of Statement 123R on July 1, 2005. Because Statement 123R must be
applied not only to new awards, but to previously granted awards that are not
fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted Statement
123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards
granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for
some previously granted awards that were not recognized under Statement 123 will
be recognized under Statement 123R. However, had we adopted Statement 123R in
prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of
Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and
earnings per share noted above. Statement 123R also requires the benefits of tax
deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a
financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under
current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and
increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. While the Company
cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend
on, among other things, when those employees exercise stock options), the amount
of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax
deductions were $2,805,000, $464,000, and $221,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The 2004 amount was significantly higher than 2003 and 2002 due
primarily to the increased options exercised by GTG employees. The vesting of
options to GTG employees was accelerated and the options became 100% vested as
of December 31, 2004. As part of the GTG sale agreement, the GTG employees had
until December 31, 2004 to exercise or forfeit their options.


                                       30



     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-1,
"Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax
Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004" and FSP 109-2, "Accounting for Disclosure Guidance for the
Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004." FSP 109-1 provides a tax deduction on qualified production activities,
while FSP 109-2 introduces a special one-time dividends-received deduction on
the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer, provided
certain criteria are met. The Company has adopted both of these staff positions
in 2004 (See Note 7).

CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

     All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet
and all changes in fair value are recorded to earnings or to shareholders'
equity through other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as
amended, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activity" (SFAS 133).

     The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage its
exposures to the variability of cash flows primarily related to the purchase of
inventory manufactured in Europe but inventoried and sold in non
Euro-denominated countries. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

     The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.

     All of the Company's derivative contracts are adjusted to current market
values each period and qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. The periodic
gains and losses of the contracts designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in
other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions are recognized.
Upon recognition, such gains and losses are recorded in operations as an
adjustment to the carrying amounts of the underlying transactions in the period
in which these transactions are recognized. The carrying values of derivative
contracts are included in other current assets.

     The Company's policy requires that contracts used as hedges must be
effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and
must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Hedging
effectiveness is assessed periodically. Any contract that is either not
designated as a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective, is marked to
market and recognized in earnings immediately. If a cash flow hedge ceases to
qualify for hedge accounting or is terminated, the contract would continue to be
carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled and future adjustments
to the contract's fair value would be recognized in earnings immediately. If a
forecasted transaction were no longer probable to occur, amounts previously
deferred in other comprehensive income would be recognized immediately in
earnings. Additional disclosure related to the Company's hedging contracts is
provided in Note 14.

OTHER

     Accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was net of an allowance
for doubtful accounts of $2,303,000 and $2,270,000, respectively.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     The gain on sale of GTG included in the 2004 Consolidated Statement of
Income has been reclassified from operating income to nonoperating income.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS

     On November 20, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 25% minority
interests in the Company's New Zealand subsidiary for $244,000. All of the
purchase price was allocated to goodwill. The Company now owns 100% of the New
Zealand subsidiary.

     On July 31, 2003, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity
interests of Aldax AB, of Stockholm, Sweden for $2.6 million, of which $1.7
million was paid in cash at the acquisition date, while $944,000 was recorded as
a long-term liability to be paid on July 31, 2005 in accordance with the
purchase agreement. Approximately $2.0 million of the purchase price was
allocated to goodwill.


                                       31



     On April 11, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 20% minority
interests in the Company's Italian subsidiary for $1.5 million. All of the
purchase price was allocated to goodwill. The Company now owns 100% of the
Italian subsidiary.

     On August 29, 2002, the Company purchased substantially all the assets and
liabilities of Werner Rietschle Holding GmbH ("Rietschle"), a privately held
company based in Schopfheim, Germany. Rietschle is a world leader in vacuum and
pressure technology, which includes dry-running and oil-lubricated pumps,
blowers, compressors, and pressure/vacuum pumps utilizing rotary vane, screw,
roots and claw technologies. With the Rietschle product line, the Company wants
to pursue further opportunities through growth in markets such as printing,
packaging, woodworking and many other applications that fit Rietschle
technologies. The purchase price consisted of $83.3 million in cash and
1,800,000 treasury shares of the Company's common stock, for which fair value
was calculated by using a six-day average stock price, determined three days
before and after the acquisition date. The Company negotiated a $120.0 million
revolving credit facility with a group of banks to finance the cash portion of
the purchase price. Rietschle's operating results are included in the Company's
results since the date of acquisition.

     On June 3, 2004, the Company received approximately $6.2 million in cash,
which represents an adjustment to the Company's purchase price of Rietschle. The
purchase agreement specified the negotiation process to be followed for various
items in dispute, so that an adjustment to the purchase price could occur at a
subsequent time. In June 2004, negotiations on certain disputed items were
completed and this adjustment reduced goodwill by $6.2 million. Other
adjustments could occur in the future related to representations and warranties
per the purchase agreement.

     In estimating the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in the Rietschle transaction, management considered a number of factors,
including collectibility of accounts receivable, net realizable value and
replacement cost of inventory, and the values of liabilities. In addition, an
independent appraiser was used to assist in determining the value of property,
plant and equipment and other intangible assets; however, management is
ultimately responsible for the values recorded.

     Supplemental pro forma information below is presented as though the
business combination had been completed as of the beginning of the period being
reported on. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect
the results of operations that would have occurred if the Company and Rietschle
constituted a single entity during such period.

4. SALE OF INTEREST IN GTG

     Effective with the close of business on July 31, 2004, the Company sold its
32% joint venture interest in the Genlyte Thomas Group LLC (GTG), which the
Company accounted for using the equity method of accounting, to The Genlyte
Group Incorporated (Nasdaq: GLYT) for approximately $400.9 million in cash.
Approximately $102.7 million of the proceeds were used to pay down long-term
debt on August 2, 2004. Approximately $80.5 million of the proceeds were used to
pay a portion of the income taxes (due on the gain) and transaction costs during
the third and fourth quarters.

     The Company's adjusted book basis in GTG as of July 31, 2004 was as follows
(in millions):


                                                 
Investment in GTG at July 31, 2004                  $230.5
Thomas' adjustment for accelerated option expense
   treated as a transaction cost                      (0.2)

Minimum pension liability                              5.5
Foreign currency translation                           0.5

Adjusted GTG book basis at July 31, 2004            $236.3
                                                    ======


     The gain on the sale of GTG, which the Company recorded in 2004, was
calculated as follows (in millions except per share amount):


                                    
Total sale price                       $ 400.9

                                       -------
Pre-tax book gain                        160.4
   Income taxes                          (76.3)
                                       -------
   Net after-tax gain                  $  84.1
                                       =======
Earnings per share - diluted           $  4.74
                                       =======


     This gain calculation is an estimate subject to final determination of
taxes of the transaction when tax returns are filed in 2005. The effective
income tax rate recorded on the gain of 47.6% is primarily due to the basis
differences for financial reporting and tax purposes in the partnership interest
in GTG.

6. EQUITY INVESTMENT

     Through July 31, 2004, Genlyte Thomas Group LLC (GTG) was an affiliated
company accounted for on the equity method. As described in Notes 1 and 2,
Thomas and Genlyte formed GTG in August 1998.

     Summarized financial information reported by the affiliate and a summary of
the amounts recorded in Thomas' consolidated financial statements follow. GTG is
organized as a limited liability corporation (LLC) that has elected to be taxed
as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. Therefore, Thomas and Genlyte are
responsible for income taxes applicable to their share of GTG's taxable income.
The net income reflected below for GTG does not include any provision for U.S.
income taxes, which will be incurred by Thomas and Genlyte; however, amounts
have been provided for foreign income taxes and certain U.S. franchise taxes.

     Management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the
benefits of its deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance of
$2,814,000. $1,224,000 of this valuation allowance is provided for income tax
loss carryforward benefits for certain foreign jurisdictions (NOL's). The
foreign tax NOL's (in the amount of $12,417,000) can be carried forward from
five to seven years and some portion indefinitely. Management believes that,
based on a number of factors, the available evidence creates sufficient
uncertainty regarding the realizability of a portion of these NOL's. The
remaining valuation allowance of $1,590,000 is provided for various foreign
deferred tax assets. Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the
available evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of
these foreign assets.

     Deferred income taxes have not been provided on $58,000,000 of foreign
undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2004. It is management's intent that
such undistributed earnings be permanently reinvested in the foreign countries.
It is not practicable to determine the amount of unrecognized deferred tax
liability for temporary differences related to investments in foreign
subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration.

     On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 (the Act). The Act provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic
production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. In
return, the Act also provides for a two-year phase out of the existing
Extra-Territorial Income (ETI) exclusion for foreign sales that was viewed to be
inconsistent with international trade protocols by the European Union. The
Company expects the net effect of the phase-out of the ETI and the phase-in of
this new deduction will not result in a significant change to the effective tax
rate for fiscal year 2005 and future years based on current earning levels.

     Another provision of the Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S.
corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85%
dividends-received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign
corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of
today, uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the
Act. As such, the Company is not yet in a position to decide on whether, and to
what extent, it might repatriate foreign earnings that have not been remitted to
the U.S.

     The Company made federal, state and foreign income tax payments of
$88,847,000 in 2004, $17,084,000 in 2003 and $21,035,000 in 2002.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES

     Long-term debt at December 31 consisted of the following:



                                2004      2003
                               ------   --------

Total long-term debt .......   $7,751   $102,673
                               ======   ========


     The revolving credit notes were paid down in full on August 2, 2004, with
proceeds from the sale of GTG.

     The senior notes had a 9.36% fixed interest rate and were paid down in full
on August 2, 2004, with the proceeds from the sale of GTG.

     The capital leases have terms ranging from 2.5 to 18.5 years, and are
payable primarily in monthly installments with interest at rates ranging from
4.8% to 11.3%.

     The Industrial Revenue Bonds had a variable interest rate and were paid
down in July 2004.

     The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including the current
portion, at December 31, 2003 was $113,790,000.


                                       38



Maturities of capital lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):


                 
2005 ............   $1,797
2006 ............      234
2007 ............      261
2008 ............      259
2009 ............      247

                    $9,548
                    ======


     The Company has no loan agreements which include restrictions on working
capital, operating leases, tangible net worth and the payment of cash dividends
and stock distributions.

     Cash paid for interest was $3,458,000 in 2004, $4,739,000 in 2003, and
$3,447,000 in 2002.

9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

     Thomas' Board of Directors in 1999 authorized the purchase of up to
2,373,000 shares of Thomas common stock in the open market. Through December 31,
2004, Thomas had repurchased 879,189 shares at a cost of $17,334,000. No
purchases were made during 2004 and 2003.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

     At the April 20, 1995 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved
the Company's 1995 Incentive Stock Plan. An aggregate of 900,000 shares of
common stock, plus all shares remaining under the Company's 1987 Incentive Stock
Plan, were reserved for issuance under this Plan. At the April 15, 1999 Annual
Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved a 750,000 share increase in the
number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1995 Incentive Stock Plan. At
the April 22, 2004 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved the
Company's Amended and Restated 1995 Incentive Stock Plan which increased the
number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by 550,000 shares and
added non-employee directors as participants under the Plan. Under this Plan,
options may be granted to employees and non-employee directors at not less than
market value at date of grant. All options granted have ten-year terms, and vest
and become fully exercisable at the end of five years of continued employment.
Under the terms of the Company's sale agreement with Genlyte, all stock options
granted to GTG employees became fully vested as of July 31, 2004 and expired as
of December 31, 2004.

     At the April 21, 1994 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved
the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. This Plan expired on April 21,
2004, except with respect to outstanding options which may be exercised through
2013. Under this Plan, each continuing non-employee director in office on the
date of each annual meeting was awarded options to purchase 3,000 shares of
common stock at not less than market value at date of grant. All options granted
have 10-year terms, and vest and become fully exercisable as of the date
granted. At December 31, 2004, there were seven non-employee directors in
office, and 225,000 options had been awarded under this Plan. A total of 131,017
shares reserved for this Plan, but not needed to satisfy awards outstanding
under the Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan, were made available under the
Company's Amended and Restated 1995 Incentive Stock Plan.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS 148), as an amendment to SFAS
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Prior to the year ended December
31, 2003, the Company followed SFAS 123 but elected to continue to measure
compensation cost using the intrinsic value based method of accounting
prescribed by APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
interpretations.

     Effective December 2003, the Company elected to adopt the fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS 123 which requires the
Company to expense the fair value of employee stock options granted, modified or
settled after January 1, 2003. The three transition methods provided by SFAS 148
are the prospective method, the modified prospective method and the retroactive
restatement method. The Company has


                                       39



elected to apply the prospective method whereby recognition provisions of SFAS
123 apply to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1,
2003. The Company has recorded expense related to the stock options of $17,000
and $163,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     For awards granted prior to 2003, the Company continues to follow SFAS No.
123 and uses the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB
25. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized for options granted to employees and
non-employee directors.

     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as
if the Company has accounted for its stock options granted subsequent to
December 31, 1994 under the fair value method of SFAS 123 (see Note 2,
"Accounting Policies--Stock Based Compensation"). The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions:



                               2004    2003    2002
                              -----   -----   -----

     The weighted average fair value of options granted was $7.47 in 2004, $6.61
in 2003 and $6.67 in 2002. Options outstanding at December 31, 2004 had option
prices ranging from $10.67 to $38.99 and expire at various dates between April
20, 2005 and December 6, 2014 (with a weighted-average remaining contractual
life of 5.2 years). There are 808,891 shares reserved for future grant.

     Included in the summary of stock option activity above, are options granted
to GTG employees, which in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has recorded
compensation expense based on using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. This
expense was $144,000 for the seven months ended July 31, 2004, $271,000 and
$201,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
and is netted with the Company's equity income from GTG (see Note 6, "Equity
Investment"). Under the terms of the Company's sale agreement with Genlyte, all
outstanding stock options previously granted to GTG employees became fully
vested as of July 31, 2004 and expired as of December 31, 2004. The Company
recognized $759,000 of expense in 2004 related to these options. This amount was
recorded against the gain on the sale of GTG.

          The Company also issued cash only stock appreciation rights (SAR's) in
2004 and 2003. All SAR's granted have ten year terms. SAR's granted to employees
vest and become fully exercisable at the end of four years of continued
employment. Under the terms of the Company's sale agreement with Genlyte, SAR's
granted to GTG employees became fully vested as of July 31, 2004 and expired as
of December 31, 2004. SAR's granted to non-employee directors vest and become
fully exercisable as of the date granted. The Company has recorded expense of
$244,000 and $1,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to SAR's for Thomas
employees and non-employee directors. For SAR's previously granted to GTG
employees in 2004, the Company recognized $177,000 of expense, which was
recorded against the gain on the sale of GTG.

          In addition to the options and SAR's listed above, 20,000 performance
share awards were granted in both December 2004 and December 2003, and 14,000
performance share awards were granted in December 2002. Performance share awards
may be earned based on the total shareholder return of the Company during the
three-year periods commencing January 1 following the grant date. A total of
11,526 shares were earned in 2004 from performance share awards granted in
December 2001, 10,550 shares were earned in 2003 from awards granted in December
2000, and 11,639 shares were earned in 2002 from awards granted in December
1999. The Company has recorded compensation expense related to performance
shares of $199,000, $482,000 and $323,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

     DEFERRED SHARE TRUST

          Employees who earn performance share awards as discussed above may
elect to defer receipt of such shares until termination of employment.
Non-Employee Directors are permitted to receive part or all of their director
fees in the form of common stock of the Company and to defer receipt of such
shares until retirement or other termination of service. In April 2000, the
Company established a deferred share trust (the "Trust") to maintain the shares
deferred for these obligations. The Trust qualifies as a rabbi trust for income
tax purposes as the assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of general
creditors of the Company. Dividends payable on the shares held by the Trust are
reinvested in additional shares of common stock of the Company on behalf of the
participants. Since there is no provision for diversification of the Trust's
assets and settlement can only be made with a fixed number of shares of the
Company's common stock, the deferred compensation obligation is classified as a
component of shareholders' equity and the common stock held by the Trust is
classified as treasury stock. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the common
stock are not reflected in earnings or shareholders' equity of the Company.


                                       41



     SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

          On December 10, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a
shareholder rights plan (the Rights Plan) pursuant to which preferred stock
purchase rights (the Rights) were declared and distributed to the holders of the
Company's common stock. These Rights are due to expire on January 5, 2008. The
Rights Plan generally provides that the Rights separate from the common stock
and become exercisable if a person or group of persons working together acquires
at least 20% of the common stock (a 20% Acquisition) or announces a tender offer
which would result in ownership by that person or group of at least 20% of the
common stock (a 20% Tender Offer). Upon a 20% Acquisition, the holders of Rights
may purchase the common stock at half-price. If, following the separation of the
Rights from the common stock, the Company is acquired in a merger or sale of
assets, holders of Rights may purchase the acquiring company's stock at
half-price.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion, under the Rights Plan, the
Board of Directors has flexibility in certain events. In order to provide
maximum flexibility, the Board of Directors may delay the date upon which the
Rights become exercisable in the event of a 20% Tender Offer. In addition, the
Board of Directors has the option to exchange one share of common stock for each
outstanding Right at any time after a 20% Acquisition, but before the acquirer
has purchased 50% of the outstanding common stock. The Rights may also be
redeemed at two cents per Right at any time prior to a 20% Acquisition or a 20%
Tender Offer.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

          The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and
contributory defined contribution plans covering its hourly union employees in
the U.S. The defined benefit plans in the U.S. primarily provide flat benefits
of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company's policy is to fund
pension costs deductible for income tax purposes for these plans.

          The Company also has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
covering certain employees of its foreign locations. These plans provide
benefits to employees based on rate of pay and years of service. The foreign
defined benefit plans are not funded.

          The Company also sponsors defined contribution pension plans covering
substantially all U.S. employees whose compensation is not determined by
collective bargaining. Annual contributions are determined by the Board of
Directors.

     To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the
Company considered historical returns and future expectations. Over the 10-year
period ending December 31, 2003, the compound annual returns on the portfolio
have averaged 10.34%. Considering this information and the potential for lower
future returns due to a generally lower interest rate environment, the Company
selected an 8.00% long-term rate of return on asset assumptions.

     The effect of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost
trend rates consisted of the following:

     Equity securities include 14,430 shares of Company common stock with a
market value of $576,000 (6 percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2004
and $500,000 (6 percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2003.

     Short-term investments include contributions to plans of $570,000 in
December 2003 that had not yet been invested by the investment manager.

     The Company's investment objective for plan assets includes exceeding the
return generated by an unmanaged index composed of the S&P 500 Stock Index and
the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index in proportion to the target
portfolio, while achieving a rate of return greater than the actuarially assumed
interest rate. The targeted asset mix was 60 percent equities and 40 percent
fixed income as of December 31, 2004 and 55 percent equities and 45 percent
fixed income as of December 31, 2003. The targeted allocation provides
reasonable assurance that the investment objectives can be achieved based on
historical performance.

     The Company expects to contribute $670,000 to its pension plans and
$100,000 to its postretirement benefit plans in 2005.

     The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as
appropriate, are expected to be paid:

     Thomas sponsors various defined contribution plans to assist eligible
employees in providing for retirement or other future needs. Company
contributions to these plans amounted to $2,920,000 in 2004, $2,591,000 in 2003
and $1,364,000 in 2002.

     On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act"), which introduces a Medicare prescription
drug benefit, as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care
benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to
the Medicare benefit, was enacted. On May 19, 2004, the FASB issued Financial
Staff Position No. 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003", ("FSP
106-2") to discuss certain accounting and disclosure issues raised by the Act.
FSP 106-2 addresses accounting for the federal subsidy for the sponsors of
single employer defined benefit postretirement health care plans and disclosure
requirements for plans for which the employer has not yet been able to determine
actuarial equivalency. Except for certain nonpublic entities, FSP 106-2 is
effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004
(the quarter ending September 30, 2004 for the Company). The Company has not yet
concluded whether the prescription drug benefits provided under its
postretirement plan are actuarially equivalent to the


                                       45



Medicare benefit as necessary to qualify for the subsidy. The reported net
periodic benefit costs of the Company's postretirement plan in the accompanying
Financial Statements and included in Note 10 to the Financial Statements do not
reflect the effects of the Act. Adoption of FSP 106-2 could require revisions to
previously reported information. While the Company may be eligible for benefits
under the Act based on the prescription drug benefits provided in its
postretirement plan, it does not believe such benefits will have a material
impact on our Financial Statements.

11. LEASES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Rental expense for building, machinery and equipment was $7,374,000 in
2004, $6,810,000 in 2003, and $3,875,000 in 2002. Future minimum rentals under
non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: 2005--$5,630,000;
2006--$4,481,000; 2007--$3,818,000; 2008--$3,416,000; 2009--$2,429,000; and
thereafter--$1,647,000.

     The Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $3,080,000
at December 31, 2004.

     On August 13, 2002, a petition was filed in the District Court of Jefferson
County, Texas, adding Thomas Industries Inc. as a third party defendant in a
lawsuit captioned Hydro Action, Inc. v. Jesse James, individually and d/b/a
James Backhoe Service of Dietrich, Illinois, Inc. and Original Septic Solutions,
Inc. (the "Third Party Plaintiffs") (the "Original Lawsuit"). The Original
Lawsuit alleged that the Company violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act and breached warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose with respect to pumps sold by the Company and used in septic tanks
manufactured or sold by the plaintiffs. The Original Lawsuit was stayed as a
result of the bankruptcy filing by Hydro Action, Inc. On October 8, 2003, a
lawsuit was filed against the Company, Gig Drewery, Yasunaga Corporation and
Aqua-Partners, Ltd. in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, making the
same allegations set forth in the Original Lawsuit and requesting class-action
certification. No class has been certified. The Third Party Plaintiffs are
plaintiffs in this action. This complaint has been amended to include
approximately 28 plaintiffs. The complaint currently seeks $3 million per
plaintiff and punitive and exemplary damages. The total sales by the Company
related to these products were approximately $900,000. On September 29, 2004,
the case was remanded to state court in Jefferson County and the stay is no
longer in place. Although this litigation is in the preliminary stages, the
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to
vigorously defend this matter. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and
the Company cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings. However, based
upon information currently available, the Company does not believe that the
outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

     In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to other legal
proceedings and claims. When costs can be reasonably estimated, appropriate
liabilities for such matters are recorded. While management currently believes
the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not
materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity of the Company, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain.
Were an unfavorable outcome to occur, the impact could be material to the
Company.

     The Company, like other similar manufacturers, is subject to environmental
rules and regulations regarding the use, disposal and cleanup of substances
regulated under environmental protection laws. It is the Company's policy to
comply with these rules and regulations, and the Company believes that its
practices and procedures are designed to meet this compliance.

     The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations that require remediation efforts at several locations
including both current and former operating facilities. One of the most
significant sites is a former manufacturing facility located in Beaver Dam,
Kentucky. Since 1992, the Company has been working under an Agreed Order with
the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet to remediate
this site. The Company has completed all closure activities and has received
approval for implementation of a post-closure plan.

     In 2004, a letter was received from the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (WDNR) indicating that the Company was solely responsible for
remediation of a former manufacturing facility located in Fort Atkinson,
Wisconsin, which was sold by the Company in 1985. In response to WDNR's demand,
the Company engaged a consultant to perform an initial hydrogeologic site
investigation. This initial site investigation found


                                       46



elevated levels of volatile organic compounds including tetrachlorothene and its
daughter products. The site investigation will be expanded to determine the
extent of the contamination and to develop a remediation work plan. The Company
provided a reserve of $900,000 in the third quarter and an additional $200,000
in the fourth quarter of 2004 for anticipated future costs associated with
remediation of this site.

     The Company's policy is to provide for environmental reserves on a
discounted basis, when appropriate. Environmental reserves are subject to
numerous inherent uncertainties that affect the ability to estimate future costs
of required remediation efforts. Such uncertainties involve the nature and
extent of contamination, the extent of required cleanup efforts under existing
environmental regulations, widely varying costs of alternate cleanup methods,
changes in environmental regulations, the potential effect of continuing
improvements in remediation technology and the financial strength of other
potentially responsible parties at multiparty sites. Reserves are reviewed for
adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjusted, if necessary, as environmental
assessment and remediation efforts proceed.

     Changes in the Company's environmental reserve at December 31, 2004 and
2003 is as follows (in thousands):

                                       ======   ======


          Related to the $2,182,000 reserve at December 31, 2004, approximately
$1,276,000 of this amount was determined on a discounted basis using a 4.9%
discount rate. The $1,276,000 discounted amount is $1,977,000 on an undiscounted
basis. No recoveries are expected or assumed. Expected payments of the
$1,977,000 are as follows:


          
2005         $  163,000
2006            154,000
2007            162,000
2008            137,000

13.  INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION

          Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging
in business activities about which separate financial information is available
that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker or group in deciding how
to allocate resources and assessing performance.

          The Company has historically been organized into two business
segments, the Pump and Compressor Segment and Lighting Segment through its 32%
interest in GTG. The segments have been managed separately based on the
fundamental differences in their respective operations. The Pump and Compressor
Segment designs,


                                       47



manufacturers, and sells pumps and compressors for use in global original
equipment manufacturing applications as well as construction equipment, systems
and laboratory equipment. The Lighting Segment designs, manufactures, markets
and sells lighting products principally in North America for commercial,
industrial and residential applications. See Note 4 which describes in further
detail the sale of the Company's interest in GTG.

          Industry segment information follows:

(1)  Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the
     selling entity.

(2)  Includes Rietschle after the August 29, 2002 acquisition date.

(3)  Inter-area sales represent intercompany sales between countries/geographic
     areas (United States, Germany, other Europe, and Asia Pacific).

Intra-area sales, which represent intercompany sales between locations within a
    country/geographic area, have been eliminated from the above tabulation.

          Net exposed assets, which represents assets less liabilities for
geographic operations outside of North America that are exposed to foreign
currency risk, at December 31, 2004 are $239,065,000 and $19,416,000 for Europe
and Asia Pacific, respectively.

14. CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

          The Company conducts business in several major international
currencies (primarily the European Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Swiss
Franc, and Australian Dollar) and is subject to risks associated with changing
foreign exchange rates. The Company's objective is to reduce earnings and cash
flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow
management to focus its attention on its core business issues and challenges.
Accordingly, the Company enters into contracts that change in value as foreign
exchange rates change to protect the value of anticipated foreign currency
revenues and expenses. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in
the value of the underlying transactions as they occur. The Euro is the only
currency hedged.

          At December 31, 2004, the Company held forward contracts expiring
through December 2005 to hedge probable, but not firmly committed, intercompany
inventory purchases. These hedging contracts are classified as cash flow hedges
and accordingly, are adjusted to current market values through other
comprehensive income until the underlying transactions are recognized. Upon
recognition, such gains and losses are recorded in operations as an adjustment
to the carrying amounts of the underlying transactions in the period in which
these transactions are recognized.


                                       49



          At December 31, 2004, the foreign currency forward contracts had a
notional amount of Euro 6,000,000 and a fair value of approximately $657,700.
The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts, which represents an
asset, is included in other current assets. The amount of the pre-tax net gain
deferred through other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2004 was
approximately $631,900. There was $25,800 of gain recognized in fiscal 2004.
There was no gain or loss recognized during 2003.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

          The Company had an accounts receivable of approximately $500,000 as of
December 31, 2004 and $900,000 as of December 31, 2003, from Werner Rietschle
Holding GmbH, a shareholder and the entity which sold the Company assets in the
Rietschle transaction. This amount primarily related to taxes paid by the
Company on behalf of Werner Rietschle Holding GmbH. Dieter Rietschle, who is the
Company's general manager of its TIWR Holding GmbH & Co. KG subsidiary and a
former director, has a 49% ownership and 51% voting control of Werner Rietschle
Holding GmbH. The $500,000 amount as of December 31, 2004 was subsequently
collected in 2005.

                        DISCUSSION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                      CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are
based on the historical consolidated statement of operations of Gardner Denver,
Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") and the historical consolidated
statement of operations of Thomas Industries Inc. ("Thomas") and nash_elmo
Holdings, LLC ("Nash Elmo") adjusted to give effect to Thomas (acquired July 1,
2005) and Nash Elmo (acquired September 1, 2004) acquisitions and the financing
for the Thomas and Nash Elmo acquisitions as if each had occurred on January 1,
2004. The historical statement of operations of Thomas is included in this Form
8-K/A. The historical consolidated statement of operations of Nash Elmo and
related pro forma financial information were included in a previous Form 8-K/A
filing dated September 2, 2004 and filed on November 17, 2004.

THOMAS ACQUISITION FINANCING AND PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

     Pursuant to its previously filed shelf registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Company completed an offering of 5,658,000 shares of
its common stock (including shares purchased by underwriters to cover
over-allotments) for proceeds of approximately $199.4 million (net of direct
costs associated with the offering) during May 2005. The Company also completed
an offering of $125.0 million of its 8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes")
in a private placement on May 4, 2005. The Company used the proceeds from the
shares and Notes, plus funds available under an amended and restated senior
secured bank facility, to finance its acquisition of Thomas (consummated on July
1, 2005) and to repay certain indebtedness.

     The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 8% and are guaranteed by
certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. At any time prior to May 1,
2009, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes issued under the Indenture
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
redeemed plus an applicable "make-whole" premium, and accrued and unpaid
interest and liquidated damages, if any. In addition, at any time prior to May
1, 2008, the Company may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 108% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if
any, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, subject to
certain conditions. On or after May 1, 2009, the Company may redeem all or a
part of the Notes at varying redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and liquidated damages, if any. Upon a change of control, as defined in the
Indenture, the Company is required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then
outstanding for cash at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any. The Indenture contains events of
default and affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for such
financings, including, among other things, limits on incurring additional debt
and restricted payments.

     On May 13, 2005, the Company entered into a $605.0 million amended and
restated credit agreement (the "2005 Credit Agreement"). Contingent on the
completion of the Thomas acquisition (consummated on July 1, 2005), the 2005
Credit Agreement provided the Company with access to senior secured credit
facilities including a $380.0 million Term Loan and restated the $225.0 million
Revolving Line of Credit, in addition to superceding the 2004 Credit Agreement.
Proceeds from the 2005 Credit Agreement were used to fund the Thomas acquisition
and retire $144.4 million of debt outstanding under the previously existing Term
Loan.

     The Revolving Line of Credit matures on September 1, 2009. Loans under this
facility may be denominated in U.S. Dollars or several foreign currencies. On
June 30, 2005, the Revolving Line of Credit had no outstanding principal
balance, leaving $225.0 million available for letters of credit or for future
use, subject to the terms of the Revolving Line of Credit.

     The new Term Loan has a final maturity of July 1, 2010 and requires
quarterly principal payments. These payments total $19 million, $38 million, $57
million, $95 million and $171 million in years one through five, respectively.

     The interest rates applicable to loans under the 2005 Credit Agreement are
variable and will be, at the Company's option, either the prime rate plus an
applicable margin or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin
percentages are adjustable at the end of each quarter, based upon financial
ratio guidelines defined in 2005 Credit Agreement.


                                       51



     The Company's obligations under the 2005 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a
pledge of certain subsidiaries' capital stock. The Company is subject to
customary covenants regarding certain earnings, liquidity and capital ratios.

     The aggregate purchase price for the Thomas acquisition of $483.5 million
(net of $265.3 million cash acquired and including $7.6 million of capital lease
obligations assumed and $7.0 million of direct acquisition costs) has been
allocated primarily to receivables ($59.8 million); inventory ($76.3 million);
property, plant and equipment ($126.5 million); intangible assets ($336.5
million); other assets ($9.4 million); accounts payable and accrued liabilities
($60.1 million); net deferred income tax liabilities ($41.0 million) and other
long-term liabilities ($23.9 million), based on their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. This allocation reflects the Company's preliminary
estimates of the purchase price allocation and is subject to change upon
completion of appraisals. Further, other assets and liabilities may be
identified to which a portion of the purchase price could be allocated. The
Company has not yet performed a detailed analysis to identify and measure
additional adjustments that may be necessary to conform Thomas' accounting
policies with the Company's accounting policies.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the intangible
assets acquired in the Thomas acquisition (in millions):


                                   
Amortized intangible assets:
   Customer lists and relationships   $ 50.0
   Technology                            9.5
   Other                                 3.5
Unamortized intangible assets:
   Goodwill                            228.5
   Trademarks                           45.0
                                      ------
      Total intangible assets         $336.5
                                      ======


The preliminary weighted average amortization period for customer lists and
relationships and other amortized intangible assets is 20 years and 5 years,
respectively.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect pro
forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on
available information and certain assumptions the Company believes are
reasonable but are subject to change. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments
that are necessary to fairly present the pro forma information have been made.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not purport to
represent what the Company's results of operations would actually have been if
the Thomas acquisition and the financing for the Thomas acquisition had occurred
on such dates or to project the Company's results of operations for any future
date or period.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect the
Company's preliminary estimates of the allocation of the purchase price for the
Thomas acquisition and are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations do not reflect any operating efficiencies
or cost savings that the Company may achieve with respect to the combined
entities nor any expense associated with achieving these benefits.

                (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(A)  Reflects the change in Thomas' depreciation and amortization expense due to
     the depreciation of the step-up in its property, plant and equipment to
     fair value over estimated average useful lives ranging from 3 to 25 years,
     and the amortization of the separately identifiable intangible assets with
     finite lives at estimated fair values over estimated useful lives ranging
     from 5 to 20 years. This adjustment is based on the Company's estimated
     allocation of the purchase price for the Thomas acquisition. We will base
     the final allocation on appraisals that have not yet been completed.

(B)  Reflects the following interest expense on the estimated incremental
     borrowings necessary to finance the Thomas acquisition:

For purposes of determining the adjustment for the credit line and the term loan
borrowings, the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin per the
Company's credit agreement was used.

(C)  Reflects the elimination of interest income earned at an average rate of
     2.3% on the $215,000 excess cash at Thomas which was used to fund the
     acquisition.

(D)  Reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments to provide for
     a combined effective income tax rate for Gardner Denver and Thomas of
     30.0%.

     This reflects our preliminary estimates of the purchase price allocation
     for the Thomas acquisition, which may change upon completion of appraisals.
     Further, we may identify other assets and liabilities to which a portion of
     the purchase price will be allocated. The purchase price allocation also
     does not include an accrual for any anticipated restructuring activities in
     connection with the Thomas acquisition. The Company has not yet performed a
     detailed analysis to identify and measure additional adjustments that may
     be necessary to conform Thomas' accounting policies with the Company's
     accounting policies.


                                       56



     The adjusted pro forma balance of Thomas' other separately identifiable
     intangible assets is estimated to be comprised of the following:


                                                                        
Other Intangible Assets:
   Customer lists and relationships, to be amortized over 20 years .....   $ 50,000
   Trademarks and trade names, indefinite lives ........................     45,000
   Technology (primarily software and patents), to be amortized over
      5-10 years .......................................................      9,500
   Other, to be amortized over 5 years .................................      3,500
                                                                           --------
   Total other intangible assets .......................................   $108,000
                                                                           ========


     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
     the pro forma statement of operations does not include amortization of
     goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives acquired
     in the Thomas acquisition.

(F)  Reflects the estimated purchase accounting adjustment for capitalization of
     manufacturing profit in inventory acquired with Thomas. The pro forma
     statement of operations does not reflect the one time adjustment on cost of
     sales during the period this inventory is sold.

(G)  Reflects the estimated purchase accounting adjustment to Thomas' property,
     plant and equipment to step-up the basis to estimated fair value. This
     adjustment is based on the estimated allocation of the purchase price for
     the Thomas acquisition.

(H)  Reflects the reclassification of Thomas' deferred software costs from
     property, plant and equipment to other intangible assets.

(I)  Reflects the estimated additional debt issuance costs related to the new
     borrowings which will be capitalized and amortized through maturity.

(J)  Reflects the elimination of Thomas' historical consolidated equity.

NOTE: THE ABOVE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
     INCLUDES EQUITY INCOME FROM THOMAS' 32% INVESTMENT IN GTG. GENLYTE AND
     THOMAS FORMED GTG ON AUGUST 30, 1998. EFFECTIVE WITH THOMAS' INVESTMENT IN
     GTG, ITS INTEREST IN GTG WAS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD OF
     ACCOUNTING. EFFECTIVE WITH THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON JULY 1, 2004, THOMAS
     SOLD ITS 32% INTEREST IN GTG, TO GENLYTE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400,900. AS
     REQUIRED BY ARTICLE 11 OF REGULATION S-X, THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
     CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS INCLUDES EQUITY INCOME FROM GTG, AS
     WELL AS A GAIN FROM THE SALE OF THOMAS' INTEREST IN GTG. IN TOTAL, THE
     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS INCLUDES $176,954
     OF PRETAX INCOME AND $95,054 OF NET INCOME AND $3.79 OF DILUTED EARNINGS
     PER SHARE FROM THE EFFECTS OF GTG. FOR MORE INFORMATION THAT EXCLUDES THE
     EFFECTS OF GTG, SEE NOTE F BELOW.

                            statement of operations


                                       58



        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(A)  Includes a $3,735 non-recurring unfavorable impact related to recording the
     acquired inventory of Syltone and Nash Elmo at fair value.

(B)  The Company acquired Nash Elmo on September 1, 2004. The unaudited pro
     forma consolidated statement of operations therefore includes Nash Elmo's
     historical results for the eight months ended August 31, 2004, which were
     included in the Company's 8-K/A filing dated September 2, 2004 and filed on
     November 17, 2004, and the pro forma adjustments for the Nash Elmo
     acquisition.

(C)  Reflects the change in Nash Elmo's depreciation and amortization expense
     due to the depreciation of the step-up in its property, plant and equipment
     to fair value over estimated average useful lives ranging from 3 to 25
     years, and the amortization of the separately identifiable intangible
     assets with finite lives at estimated fair values over estimated useful
     lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. This adjustment is based on our estimated
     allocation of the purchase price for the Nash Elmo acquisition. We will
     base the final allocation on appraisals that have not yet been completed.

(D)  Reflects the following interest expense on the estimated incremental
     borrowings necessary to finance the Nash Elmo acquisition:


                                                                         
Interest on the incremental Credit Line borrowing ($117,480 at 3.75%) ...   $ 2,937
Interest on the incremental Term Loan borrowing ($108,750 at 3.75%) .....     2,719
Incremental interest on our previously existing average borrowings
   (excluding the Nash Elmo acquisition related borrowings) due to
   an increase in rates on borrowings and commitments resulting from
   the increased leverage from the Nash Elmo acquisition ................       213
Net impact on amortization of debt issue costs related to the financing
   for the Nash Elmo acquisition ........................................      (117)
Elimination of historical interest expense on Nash Elmo's debt repaid in
   conjunction with the Nash Elmo acquisition ...........................    (2,834)
                                                                            -------
     Total interest expense adjustment ..................................   $ 2,918
                                                                            =======


     For purposes of determining the adjustment for the credit line and the term
     loan borrowings, the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin per
     our credit agreement was used.

(E)  Reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments to provide for
     a combined effective income tax rate for Gardner Denver and Nash Elmo of
     30.0%.

(F)  As noted above, effective with the close of business on July 31, 2004,
     Thomas sold its 32% interest in GTG to Genlyte for approximately $400,900.
     The information set forth below adjusts the information presented under the
     title "Pro Forma Gardner Denver, Nash Elmo, Thomas and Related Financing"
     to exclude the effects of GTG, assuming Thomas had sold its interest in GTG
     at the beginning of the period presented and used a portion of the net
     proceeds from the sale to repay all of Thomas' existing debt other than its
     capitalized lease obligations:

(5)  The adjustment reflects the income tax effects of adjustments (1), (2), (3)
     and (4) to reflect an overall effective tax rate of 32.5% excluding the
     impact of the gain on Thomas' sale of its interest in GTG or its equity
     income prior to the sale.

Financial information for Thomas includes $5,245 of non-recurring charges
related to plant shutdown, legal and environmental costs.

(G)  Reflects the change in Thomas' depreciation and amortization expense due to
     the depreciation of the step-up in its property, plant and equipment to
     fair value over estimated average useful lives ranging from 3 to 25 years,
     and the amortization of the separately identifiable intangible assets with
     finite lives at estimated fair values over estimated useful lives ranging
     from 5 to 20 years. This adjustment is based on our estimated allocation of
     the purchase price for the Thomas acquisition. We will base the final
     allocation on appraisals that have not yet been completed.


                                       60



(H)  Reflects the following interest expense on the notes and other estimated
     incremental borrowings necessary to finance the Thomas acquisition (as
     discussed above under "--Thomas Acquisition Financing and Purchase Price
     Allocation").


                                                              
Interest on the Notes ($125,000 at 8.00%) ....................   $10,000
Interest on incremental term loan and revolving line of credit
   borrowings ($233,365 at 3.90%) ............................     9,101
Incremental interest on existing borrowings due to increased
   leverage ..................................................       114
Elimination of historical interest expense on other borrowings
   to be repaid ($26,900 at 5.25%) ...........................    (1,412)
Net impact on amortization of debt issue costs related to the
   financing for the Thomas acquisition ......................     1,183
Prepayment penalty on other borrowings to be repaid ..........     1,274
                                                                 -------
   Total interest expense adjustment .........................   $20,260
                                                                 =======


     The prepayment penalty on other borrowings to be repaid of $1,274 was based
     upon interest rates in effect as of January 1, 2004. The actual prepayment
     penalty incurred in 2005 was $319.

(I)  Reflects the elimination of interest income earned at an average rate of
     1.6% on the $215,000 excess cash at Thomas, which was used to fund the
     acquisition. This income was earned by Thomas subsequent to the sale of GTG
     on July 31, 2004.

(J)  Reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments to provide for
     the combined effective income tax rate for Gardner Denver, Nash Elmo and
     Thomas Industries (excluding the effect of GTG) of 32.5%
