BUSINESS GENERAL Gardner Denver, Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") believes, based on total sales in the United States, it is one of the leading manufacturers of stationary air compressors and blowers for industrial applications. Stationary air compressors are used in manufacturing, process applications and materials handling, and to power air tools and equipment. Blowers are used primarily in pneumatic conveying, wastewater aeration and engineered vacuum systems. Gardner Denver also believes that it is one of the leading manufacturers of pumps used in oil and natural gas production, well-servicing and drilling and water jetting systems. In 2002, Gardner Denver had revenues of $418.2 million, of which approximately 84 percent were derived from sales of compressed air products while approximately 16 percent were from sales of pump products. Approximately 63 percent of the total revenues in 2002 were derived from sales in the United States and approximately 37 percent were from sales to customers in various countries outside the United States. Of the total non-U.S. sales, 56 percent were to Europe, 17 percent to Asia, 12 percent to Canada, 12 percent to Latin America and 3 percent to other regions. HISTORY The Company's business of manufacturing industrial and petroleum equipment began in 1859 when Robert W. Gardner redesigned the fly-ball governor to provide speed control for steam engines. By 1900, the then Gardner Company had expanded its product line to include steam pumps and vertical high-speed air compressors. In 1927, the Gardner Company merged with Denver Rock Drill, a manufacturer of equipment for oil wells and mining and construction, and became the Gardner-Denver Company. In 1979, the Gardner-Denver Company was acquired by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") and operated as 10 unincorporated divisions. Two of these divisions, the Gardner-Denver Air Compressor Division and the Petroleum Equipment Division, were combined in 1985 to form the Gardner-Denver Industrial Machinery Division (the "Division"). The OPI(R) pump product line was purchased in 1985 and added to the Division. In 1987, Cooper acquired the Sutorbilt(R) and DuroFlow(R) blower product lines and the Joy(R) industrial compressor product line, which were also consolidated into the Division. Effective December 31, 1993, the assets and liabilities of the Division were transferred by Cooper to the Company, which had been formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper. On April 15, 1994, the Company was spun-off as an independent company to the shareholders of Cooper. Gardner Denver has completed fourteen acquisitions since becoming an independent company. In 1996, Gardner Denver acquired NORAMPTCO, Inc., renamed Gardner Denver Holdings Inc., and its primary operating subsidiary Lamson Corporation ("Lamson"). Lamson designs, manufactures and sells multistage centrifugal blowers and exhausters used in various industrial and wastewater applications. Lamson's products complemented the Company's product offering by enabling it to expand its participation in environmental and industrial segments requiring air and gas management. Also in 1996, the Company acquired TCM Investments, Inc., an oilfield pump manufacturer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This acquisition extended the Company's well stimulation pump 2 product line, provided a physical presence in the oilfield market and allowed Gardner Denver to become a major supplier of repair parts and remanufacturing services to some of the Company's customers. In 1997, the Company acquired Oy Tamrotor Ab ("Tamrotor"), located in Tampere, Finland. Tamrotor designs and manufactures lubricated rotary screw compressor air ends and packages. The addition of Tamrotor provided the Company with a manufacturing base in Europe and growth opportunities through complementary product lines and international market penetration. In 1999, the Company liquidated Tamrotor and now conducts business in Finland as Gardner Denver OY. In January 1998, the Company purchased Champion Pneumatic Machinery Company, Inc. ("Champion"). Champion, located in Princeton, Illinois, is a leading manufacturer of low horsepower reciprocating compressors. Champion opened new market opportunities for Gardner Denver products and expanded the range of reciprocating compressors available to existing distributors of Gardner Denver(R) branded products. In January 1998, the Company also acquired Geological Equipment Corporation ("Geoquip"), a leading manufacturer of pumps, ranging from 350 to 2,400 horsepower, in Fort Worth, Texas. The operation also remanufactures pumps and provides repair services. The addition of Geoquip enhanced the Gardner Denver well servicing product line, expanded the Company's presence in remanufacturing and repair services and introduced the Company to the water jetting market. The Company purchased the Wittig Division of Mannesmann Demag AG ("Wittig") in March 1998. Wittig, located in Schopfheim, Germany, is a leading manufacturer of rotary sliding vane compressors and vacuum pumps. Wittig's products primarily serve the truck blower market for liquid and dry bulk conveyance, as well as other industrial applications. The acquisition of Wittig expanded the Company's manufacturing presence in Europe and provided distribution channels for its blower products, which are produced in the United States. In April 1999, the Company acquired Allen-Stuart Equipment Company, Inc. ("Allen-Stuart"), located in Houston, Texas. Allen-Stuart, which also conducts business as the Gardner Denver Engineered Packaging Center, designs, fabricates and services custom-engineered packages for blower and compressor equipment in air and gas applications. This entity also distributes Gardner Denver(R) blowers in Texas. The addition of Allen-Stuart enhanced the Company's ability to supply engineered packages, incorporating the wide range of compressor and blower products manufactured by Gardner Denver. In April 1999, the Company also purchased Butterworth Jetting Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of water jet pumps and systems serving the industrial cleaning and maintenance market, located in Houston, Texas. This operation, which was renamed Gardner Denver Water Jetting Systems, Inc., expanded the Company's position in the rapidly growing water jet market. In October 1999, the Company acquired Air Relief, Inc. ("Air Relief"), located in Mayfield, Kentucky. Air Relief is an independent provider of replacement parts and service for centrifugal compressors. This operation enhanced the Company's ability to penetrate the centrifugal compressor market by adding key engineering, assembly, sales and service capabilities. In January 2000, the Company acquired Invincible Airflow Systems, Co. ("Invincible"). Invincible, located in Baltic, Ohio, manufactures single and fabricated multistage centrifugal 3 blowers and engineered vacuum systems. Invincible extended Gardner Denver's product offering for the industrial cleaning market and introduced the Company's centrifugal blowers to new markets. The Company acquired Jetting Systems & Accessories, Inc. ("JSA") in April 2000 and CRS Power Flow, Inc. ("CRS") in July 2000. JSA and CRS are located in Houston, Texas, and both manufacture aftermarket products for the water jetting industry. These two acquisitions complemented the Company's product offering for the water jetting market and further leveraged Gardner Denver's commitment to being a full service provider in the water jetting industry. In September 2001, the Company acquired Hamworthy Belliss & Morcom ("Belliss & Morcom"), headquartered in Gloucester, England. Belliss & Morcom manufactures and distributes reciprocating air compressors used for a variety of niche applications, such as polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") bottle blowing, breathing air equipment and compressed natural gas. The acquisition of Belliss & Morcom broadened the Company's range of product offerings, strengthened its distribution and service networks and increased its participation in sales of products with applications that have the potential to grow faster than the overall industrial economy. In September 2001, the Company also acquired Hoffman Air and Filtration Systems ("Hoffman"). Hoffman, previously headquartered in Syracuse, New York, manufactures and distributes multistage centrifugal blowers and vacuum systems, primarily for wastewater treatment and industrial applications. The acquisition of Hoffman expanded Gardner Denver's product offering and distribution capabilities and enhanced its position as a leading international supplier of centrifugal products to the air and gas handling industry. During 2002, manufacturing of Hoffman products was transferred to the Company's existing centrifugal blower facility in Peachtree City, Georgia. MARKETS AND PRODUCTS Gardner Denver designs, manufactures and markets compressed air products and pump products. A description of the particular products manufactured and sold by Gardner Denver in its two reportable segments is set forth below. Compressed Air Products Segment In the Compressed Air Products segment, Gardner Denver designs, manufactures, markets and services the following products and related aftermarket parts for industrial and commercial applications: rotary screw, reciprocating, sliding vane and centrifugal compressors, positive displacement and centrifugal blowers. Sales of compressed air products by Gardner Denver in 2002 were $350.0 million, of which approximately 60 percent were to customers in the United States. Reciprocating compressors range from 0.5 to 1,500 horsepower and are sold under the Gardner Denver(R), Champion(R), Commandair(R) and Belliss & Morcom(R) trademarks. Rotary screw compressors range from 5 to 680 horsepower and are sold under the Gardner Denver(R), Electra-Screw(R), Electra-Saver(R), Enduro(R), RotorChamp(R), Twistair(R), Tamrotor(R), and Tempest(R) trademarks. Centrifugal compressors range from 400 to 1,500 horsepower and are sold under the GD Turbo name. 4 Blowers are used to produce a high volume of air at low pressures and vacuums. Centrifugal blowers produce a constant level of pressure and varying volumes of airflow. Positive displacement blowers provide a constant volume of airflow at varying levels of pressure. The Company's positive displacement blowers range from 0 to 36 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) pressure and 0-28 inches of mercury ("Hg) vacuum and 0 to 43,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and are sold under the trademarks Sutorbilt(R), DuroFlow(R), CycloBlower(R) and TurboTron(R). The Company's multistage centrifugal blowers are sold under the trademarks Lamson(R) and Hoffman(R) and range from 0.5 to 25 PSIG pressure and 0-18 "Hg vacuum and 100 to 50,000 CFM. The Company's rotary sliding vane compressors and vacuum pumps range from 0 to 150 PSIG and 0 to 3,000 CFM and are sold under the trademark Wittig(R). The Company's engineered vacuum systems are used in industrial cleaning and maintenance and are sold under the Invincible(R) and Cat Vac(R) trademarks. Almost all domestic manufacturing plants and industrial facilities, as well as many service industries, utilize air compressors and/or blowers. The largest customers for Gardner Denver's compressor products are durable and non-durable goods manufacturers; process industries (petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper); original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"); manufacturers of carpet cleaning equipment, pneumatic conveying equipment, and dry and liquid bulk transports; wastewater treatment facilities; and automotive service centers and niche applications such as polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") bottle blowing, breathing air equipment and compressed natural gas. Manufacturers of machinery and related equipment use stationary compressors for automated systems, controls, materials handling and special machinery requirements. The petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper industries require compressed air for process, instrumentation and control, packaging and pneumatic conveying. Blowers are instrumental to local utilities for aeration in treating industrial and municipal waste. Blowers are also used in service industries, for example, residential carpet cleaning to vacuum moisture from carpets during the shampooing and cleaning process. Blowers and rotary vane compressors are used on trucks to vacuum leaves and debris from street sewers and to unload liquid and dry bulk and powder materials such as cement, grain and plastic pellets. Additionally, blowers are used in numerous chemical process applications. Pump Products Segment Gardner Denver designs, manufactures, markets and services a diverse group of pumps, water jetting systems and related aftermarket parts used in oil and natural gas production, well servicing and drilling and industrial cleaning and maintenance. Sales of pump products in 2002 were $68.1 million, of which approximately 78 percent were to customers in the United States. Positive displacement reciprocating pumps are marketed under the Gardner Denver(R), Geoquip(R), Ajax(R) and OPI(R) trademarks. Typical applications of Gardner Denver(R) pumps in oil and natural gas production include oil transfer, water flooding, salt water disposal, pipeline 5 testing, ammine pumping for gas processing, re-pressurizing, enhanced oil recovery, hydraulic power and other liquid transfer applications. Gardner Denver's production pumps range from 16 to 600 horsepower and consist of horizontal and vertical designed pumps. Gardner Denver markets one of the most complete product lines of well servicing pumps. Well servicing operations include general workover service, completions (bringing wells into production after drilling), and plugging and abandonment of wells. Gardner Denver's well servicing products consist of high pressure plunger pumps ranging from 165 to 400 horsepower. Gardner Denver also manufactures intermittent duty triplex and quintuplex plunger pumps ranging from 250 to 3,000 horsepower for well cementing and stimulation, including reservoir fracturing or acidizing. Duplex pumps, ranging from 16 to 135 horsepower, are produced for shallow drilling, which includes water well drilling, seismic drilling and mineral exploration. Continuous duty triplex mud pumps for oil and natural gas drilling rigs range from 275 to 2,000 horsepower. A small portion of Gardner Denver(R) and Ajax(R) pumps are sold for use in industrial applications. The Company's water jetting systems are used in industrial cleaning and maintenance and are sold under the Liqua-Blaster(R) and American Water Blaster(R) trademarks. Applications in this market segment include runway and shiphull cleaning, concrete demolition and metal surface preparation. For financial information over the past three years on the Company's performance by industry segment and the Company's international sales, refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Gardner Denver's 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated herein by reference. CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE Gardner Denver sells its products through independent distributors and sales representatives and directly to OEMs, engineering firms and end users. Gardner Denver uses a direct sales force to service OEM and engineering firm accounts because these typically require more technical assistance, shipment scheduling and product service. As a majority of Gardner Denver's products are marketed through independent distribution, Gardner Denver is committed to developing and supporting its distribution network of over 1,500 distributors and representatives. Gardner Denver has a Master Distribution Center in Memphis, Tennessee that stocks parts, accessories, blowers and small compressor products in order to provide adequate and timely availability. Gardner Denver also provides its distributors with sales and product literature, technical assistance and training programs, advertising and sales promotions, order-entry and tracking systems and an annual restocking program. Gardner Denver participates in major trade shows and has a telemarketing department to generate sales leads and support the distributors' sales staffs. The Company's distributors maintain an inventory of complete units and parts and provide aftermarket service to end users. There are several hundred field service representatives for Gardner Denver products in the distributor network. Gardner Denver's service personnel and product engineers provide the distributors' service representatives with technical assistance and 6 field training, particularly with respect to installation and repair of equipment. Gardner Denver also provides aftermarket support through its remanufacturing facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana; Fort Worth, Texas; and Mayfield, Kentucky. The Indianapolis operation remanufactures and repairs air ends for rotary screw compressors, blowers and reciprocating compressors. The Fort Worth facility repairs and remanufactures well servicing pumps. The Mayfield operation provides aftermarket parts and repairs for centrifugal compressors. Outside the United States, Gardner Denver markets its products through a network of sales representatives, as well as distributors and direct sales persons. As a result of the Lamson, Wittig and Hoffman acquisitions, the Company operates blower packaging operations in Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. As a result of the Tamrotor and Bellis & Morcom acquisitions, the Company operates compressor manufacturing and packaging facilities in Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom. COMPETITION Gardner Denver's principal competitors in sales of compressed air products include Ingersoll-Rand, Sullair (owned by United Technologies Corporation), Atlas Copco, Quincy Compressor (owned by En Pro Industries), CompAir and Roots. The principal competitors in sales of petroleum pump products include National-Oilwell and SPM Flow Control, Inc. The principal competitors in sales of water jetting systems include NLB Corp., WOMA Apparatebau GmbH and Hammelmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH. Each of the Company's business segments has a strong reputation and the Company's trademarks are recognized both domestically and internationally. Demand for compressed air products is dependent upon capital spending by manufacturing and process industries, and general economic conditions. Demand for pump products is primarily tied to the number of working and available drilling rigs and oil and natural gas prices. The principal competitive factors in both segments are quality, performance, price and availability. The relative importance of each of these factors varies depending on the specific type of product. Compressed air and pump products are best characterized as mature, with steady and slow technological advances. Technological trends in compressed air products include, among others, development of oil-free air compressors, increased product efficiency, reduction of noise levels, and advanced control systems to upgrade the flexibility and precision of regulating pressure and capacity. Emerging compressed air products market niches result from new technologies in plastics extrusion, oil and natural gas well drilling, field gas gathering, mobile and stationary vacuum applications, utility and fiber optic installation, environmental impact minimization, as well as other factors. Trends in pump products include, among others, development of larger horsepower and lighter weight pumps. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company actively engages in a continuing research and development program. The Gardner Denver research and development centers are dedicated to various activities, including new product development, product performance improvement and new product applications. 7 Gardner Denver's products are designed to satisfy the safety and performance standards set by various industry groups and testing laboratories. Care is exercised throughout the manufacturing and final testing process to ensure that products conform to industry, government and customer specifications. Gardner Denver has representatives on the American Petroleum Institute's working committee and the Company has relationships with standard enforcement organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.), Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and the Canadian Standard Association (C.S.A.). The Company maintains ISO 9001 certification on the quality systems at a majority of its manufacturing and design locations. Expenditures for research and development sponsored by the Company were $2.4 million in 2002, $2.5 million in 2001 and $3.0 million in 2000. MANUFACTURING Gardner Denver has nineteen manufacturing facilities that utilize a broad variety of processes. At its manufacturing locations, the Company maintains advanced manufacturing, quality assurance and testing equipment geared to the specific products that it manufactures, and uses extensive process automation in its manufacturing operations. Most of the manufacturing facilities utilize computer aided numerical control tools and manufacturing techniques that concentrate the equipment necessary to produce similar products in one area of the plant (cell manufacturing). One operator using cell manufacturing can monitor and operate several machines, as well as assemble and test products made by such machines, thereby improving operating efficiency and product quality while reducing the amount of work-in-process and finished product inventories. RAW MATERIALS The primary raw materials used by Gardner Denver are cast iron and steel. Such materials are generally available from a number of suppliers. The Company does not currently have long-term contracts with its suppliers of raw materials, but believes that its sources of raw materials are reliable and adequate for its needs. The Company utilizes single sources of supply for certain iron castings and other selected components. A disruption in deliveries from a given supplier could therefore have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to meet its commitments to customers. Nevertheless, the Company believes that it has appropriately balanced this risk against the cost of sustaining a greater number of suppliers. Moreover, the Company has sought, and will continue to seek, cost reductions in its purchases of materials and supplies by consolidating its purchases, pursuing alternate sources of supply and using online bidding competitions among potential suppliers. The Company's largest supplier of iron castings, Atchison Casting Corporation ("Atchison") announced in August 2002 that it would downsize its LaGrange, Missouri foundry ("LaGrange Foundry"), ceasing production and focusing the facility on pattern repair, maintenance and storage. Atchison later decided to completely close this facility. As a result, the Company began to implement its previously developed contingency plan to secure alternative supply sources. The Company does not anticipate that the closure of the LaGrange Foundry will materially impact its long-term financial performance. However, there was a negative impact (approximately $0.01 to $0.03 diluted EPS) on the Company's financial performance in 8 the fourth quarter of 2002, as additional costs were incurred related to expediting castings from new suppliers. The Company currently expects additional negative impact (approximately $0.02 to $0.04 diluted EPS) in the first quarter of 2003, as the Company's plan is carried out and alternative iron casting supply sources are fully integrated into the Company's supply and manufacturing processes. The most significant aspects of this change should be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2003 and the Company expects to benefit going forward from reduced material costs from alternate suppliers. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant supply problems in its operations other than the LaGrange Foundry closure noted above; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case in the future. BACKLOG The Company's backlog was approximately $65.3 million at December 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $79.2 million at December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to declining demand of petroleum pump products stemming from lower rig counts. Backlog consists of orders believed to be firm for which a customer purchase order has been received or communicated and which are scheduled for shipment within twelve months. Since orders may be rescheduled or canceled, backlog does not necessarily reflect future sales levels. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, the Company has a policy of seeking appropriate patents concerning new products and product improvements. In the aggregate, patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of the Company's products. However, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark, or group of patents or trademarks, to be material to its business as a whole, except for the Gardner Denver(R) trademark. Other important trademarks used by Gardner Denver include DuroFlow(R), Sutorbilt(R), CycloBlower(R), Wittig(R), Lamson(R), Tamrotor(R), OPI(R), Champion(R), Geoquip(R), Belliss & Morcom(R) and Hoffman(R). Joy(R) is a registered trademark of Joy Technologies, Inc. Gardner Denver has the right to use the Joy(R) trademark on aftermarket parts until November 2027. The Company's right to use this trademark on air compressors expired in November 1995. Pursuant to trademark license agreements, Cooper has rights to use the Gardner Denver(R) trademark for certain power tools and Gardner Denver has rights to use the Ajax(R) trademark for petroleum pump products. Gardner Denver has registered its trademarks in the countries where it is deemed necessary. The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or that the Company can effectively protect its trade secrets. 9 EMPLOYEES As of February 2003, the Company had approximately 1,900 full-time employees, of which approximately 650, including most of the employees in Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom, were represented by labor unions. In April 2002, the Company and the union at the Quincy, Illinois plant executed a five-year labor contract. The Company believes its current relations with employees are satisfactory. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the storage, handling, emission, disposal and discharge of materials into the environment. The Company believes that its existing environmental control procedures are adequate and it has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures in this area. Gardner Denver has an environmental policy that confirms its commitment to a clean environment and to compliance with environmental laws. Gardner Denver has an active environmental management program aimed at compliance with existing environmental regulations and developing methods to eliminate or significantly reduce the generation of pollutants in the manufacturing processes. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to eight sites designated for cleanup under federal "Superfund" or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, Gardner Denver was only a small contributor to six of these waste sites and has reached, or is attempting to negotiate, de minimus settlements for their cleanup. The cleanup of the remaining two sites is substantially complete and the Company's future obligations entail a share of the sites' ongoing operating and maintenance expense. The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent costs are known or can be estimated for its remaining financial obligations. Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any materially adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES During the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, management, including the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects, to ensure that information to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES, AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Documents filed as part of this Annual Report --------------------------------------------- 1. Financial Statements and the related report of independent public accountants are incorporated by reference to the pages shown below in Gardner Denver's 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 2-02(e) of Regulation S-X, our 2002 Annual Report includes a copy of the prior year's Report of Independent Public Accountants from the prior independent public accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen"). The report was previously issued by Andersen, for our Annual Report for fiscal year 2001 and incorporated by reference into our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and has not been reissued by Andersen. The report refers to previous consolidated financial statements that are not included in the 2002 Annual Report or this filing (consisting of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999). After reasonable efforts, and due to the fact that Andersen has ceased operations, we were unable to obtain a reissued report and Andersen did not consent to the inclusion of its previously issued report in our 2002 Annual Report or this filing. Because Andersen did not consent to the inclusion of its report in our 2002 Annual Report or this filing, it may be difficult to seek remedies against Andersen and the ability to seek relief against Andersen may be impaired. See Exhibit 23.2 to this annual report on Form 10-K for further discussion. 17 Page No. -------- Reports of Independent Public Accountants 21 Consolidated Statements of Operations for Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2002 22 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 23 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2002 24 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2002 25 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 26-39 The financial statement schedules listed below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements listed above.

By: /s/ Philip R. Roth ----------------------------- Philip R. Roth Vice President, Finance & CFO March 26, 2003 24 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Gardner Denver, Inc.: Under date of February 3, 2003, we reported on the consolidated balance sheet of Gardner Denver, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are included in the 2002 annual report on Form 10-K. In connection with our audit of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related financial statement schedule included in the 2002 annual report on Form 10-K. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule of Gardner Denver, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. In their report dated February 6, 2002, except with respect to the matter discussed in Note 9, as to which the date is March 6, 2002, those auditors stated that the supplementary information for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, included in Schedule II was subjected to auditing procedures applied in their audit of the 2001 and 2000 basic financial statements and, in their opinion, fairly stated in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, taken as a whole. In our opinion, such financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2002, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," in the year ending December 31, 2002. /s/ KPMG LLP St. Louis, Missouri February 3, 2003 S-1 25 REPORT OF PREVIOUS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Pursuant to Rule 2-02(e) of Regulation S-X, below is a copy of the prior year's Report of Independent Public Accountants from the prior independent public accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen"). This report was previously issued by Andersen, for filing with our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2001. This report refers to previous consolidated financial statements that are not included in the 2002 annual report on Form 10-K (consisting of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999). After reasonable efforts, and due to the fact that Andersen has ceased operations, we have been unable to obtain a reissued report and Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its previously issued report in this 2002 annual report on Form 10-K. Because Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its report in this annual report on Form 10-K, it may be difficult to seek remedies against Andersen and the ability to seek relief against Andersen may be impaired. See Exhibit 23.2 to this annual report on Form 10-K for further discussion. To Gardner Denver, Inc. We have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated financial statements included in Gardner Denver, Inc.'s. 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated February 6, 2002 (except with respect to the matter discussed in Note 9, as to which the date is March 6, 2002). Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole. Schedule II included in this Form 10-K is the responsibility of the Company's management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
