ALBANY INTERNATIONAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Management Opinion In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998. 2. Accounting for Derivatives Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that function as an economic hedge against currency fluctuation effects on future revenue streams are recorded in "Other expense, net". Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that are designated a hedge of a foreign operation's net assets and/or long-term intercompany loans are recorded in "Translation adjustments", a separate component of shareholders' equity. These contracts reduce the risk of currency exposure on foreign currency net assets and do not exceed the foreign currency amount being hedged. To the extent the above criteria are not met, or the related assets are sold, extinguished, or terminated, activity associated with such hedges is recorded in "Other expense, net". All open positions on forward exchange contracts are valued at fair value using the estimated forward rate of a matching contract. Gains or losses on futures contracts have been recorded in "Other expense, net". Open positions have been valued at fair value using quoted market rates. In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This Standard establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. All derivatives will be required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. Each hedging relationship must be designated and accounted for pursuant to this Standard. Since the Company already records forward exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the accounting for these transactions. The Company plans to adopt this Standard on its effective date of January 1, 2001. 3. Other Expense, Net Included in other expense, net for the six months ended June 30 are: currency transactions, $2.0 million income in 1999 and $0.7 million income in 1998; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees, $0.5 million in 1999 and $0.3 million in 1998 and other miscellaneous expenses, none of which are significant, in 1999 and 1998. Included in other expense, net for the three months ended June 30 are: currency transactions, $1.1 million income in 1999 and $0.3 million income in 1998; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan organization fees, $0.3 million in 1999 and $0.1 million in 1998 and other miscellaneous expenses, none of which are significant, in 1999 and 1998. 4

4. Earnings Per Share In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities. The amounts used in computing earnings per share, including the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive securities, are as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Six Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands) 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income available to common stockholders: Income available to common stockholders $20,505 $21,650 $9,293 $10,596 ------- ------- ------ ------- Weighted average number of shares: Weighted average number of shares used in net income per share 29,685 30,948 29,727 30,917 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 286 511 364 612 --- --- Weighted average number of shares used in diluted net income per share 29,971 31,459 30,091 30,529 ------ ------ ------ ------ Options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at $25.5625 per share and 748,250 shares at $22.25 per share were outstanding at June 30, 1999 but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999 because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for that period. The 250,000 shares were also not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 1999. 5. Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income consists of: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Six Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands) 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income $20,505 $21,650 $9,293 $10,596 Other comprehensive loss, before tax: Foreign currency translation adjustments (23,995) (5,146) (2,155) (6,226) Income tax related to items of other comprehensive loss - - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total comprehensive (loss)/income ($3,490) $16,504 $7,138 $4,370 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5

Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was 39% and approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1999. 8. Supplementary Cash Flow Information Interest paid for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $9.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $16.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. 9. Acquisitions In April 1999, the Company purchased all of the shares of Jansen Tortechnik, a manufacturer of high quality sectional overhead doors located in Surwold, Germany. The purchase price was approximately $7.7 million and was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations are included in the financial statements as of the acquisition date. In May 1999, the Company announced that it had agreed to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of the paper machine clothing business of the Geshmay group for approximately $232 million. Geshmay's principal operations are located in Europe and the United States. The transaction is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999. 6

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales decreased to $175.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $179.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the second quarter of 1998 was to decrease net sales by $2.1 million. Acquisitions made in 1998 added $1.8 million to second quarter 1999 net sales. Excluding these two factors, 1999 net sales were down 2.0% as compared to 1998. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased slightly to $357.4 million as compared to $355.8 million for the same period in 1998. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first six months of 1998 was to decrease net sales by $2.8 million. Acquisitions made in 1998 added $6.6 million to 1999 net sales. Excluding these two factors, 1999 net sales were down slightly from 1998. In the United States, after a relatively slow first quarter, net sales in the second quarter of 1999 increased 1.0% resulting in a year to date decrease of 2.5% as compared to the same period in 1998. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, decreased 2.8% in Canada and were higher in Asia. European sales decreased in local currencies and were down 2.4% in U.S. dollars. Gross profit was 41.9% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 43.4% for the same period in 1998 bringing the six month result to 41.6% for 1999 as compared to 42.9% for 1998. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales increased to 34.7% in 1999 from 33.2% for the same period in 1998. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and 1998 acquisitions, variable costs as a percent of net sales were 34.2% in 1999. The decrease in gross profit margin is the result of continued pricing pressures from major paper machine clothing customers and a change in product mix that includes a higher proportion of sales with lower margins. Selling, technical, general and research expenses, excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and 1998 acquisitions, were flat for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 13.1% for the comparable period in 1998 due to items discussed above. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and 1998 acquisitions, operating income as a percentage of net sales was 12.0% in 1999. The Company is on schedule to achieve the expected 1999 cost reduction of $10 million resulting from the global restructuring plan announced in January 1999. In 1999, as part of this plan, the Company announced the closing of plants in Weaverville, North Carolina and Ahlen, Germany. 7

In April 1999, the Company purchased all of the shares of Jansen Tortechnik, a manufacturer of high quality sectional overhead doors located in Surwold, Germany. The purchase price was approximately $7.7 million and was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations are included in the financial statements as of the acquisition date. In May 1999, the Company announced that it had agreed to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of the paper machine clothing business of the Geschmay group for approximately $232 million. Geschmay's principal operations are located in Europe and the United States. The transaction is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999. Reasons for the changes in operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998 are similar to those which affected the six month comparisons, except where specifically noted. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Accounts receivable decreased $5.4 million since December 31, 1998. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, accounts receivable were flat. Inventories decreased $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, inventories increased $1.6 million. The Company's current debt structure, which is mostly floating-rate, has resulted in favorable interest rates and currently provides approximately $100 million in committed and available unused debt capacity with financial institutions. As part of the Geschmay acquisition noted above, the Company intends to enter into a new debt agreement in the third quarter of this year. Management believes that this new debt agreement will not only be used for the Geschmay acquisition, but, in combination with informal commitments and expected free cash flows, should be sufficient for operating requirements and normal business opportunities which support corporate strategies. In July 1999, the Company received $1.2 billion in commitments related to the proposed new debt agreement, which when finalized, will result in a $750 million five-year debt facility. The Company expects to utilize approximately $600 million of this facility to refinance current debt and fund the Geschmay acquisition. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1999, including leases to the extent they are required to be capitalized, were $10.7 million as compared to $21.1 million for the same period last year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures, including leases, will be less than the $45 million originally anticipated for the full year due to the pending acquisition of Geschmay, which adds significant capacity to the Company's existing operations. These expenditures will be financed with cash from operations and existing credit facilities. In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This Standard establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. All derivatives will be required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. Each hedging relationship must be designated and accounted for pursuant to this Standard. Since the Company already records forward exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the accounting for these transactions. The Company plans to adopt this Standard on its effective date of January 1, 2001. 8

YEAR 2000 In 1997, the Company began a program to assess, test and remedy its computer and manufacturing systems to assure that these systems will properly recognize the year 2000 and therefore substantially eliminate the risk of date-related computer shutdowns from internal operations. The most significant area to assess under this program is the Company's business system, which includes the Company's information system, the hardware and software associated with its network of personal computers and its telecommunications infrastructure. Most of the Company's operations have substantially completed the assessment, testing and remediation phases of this program. Currently, the implementation of a new information system is in progress and has not been accelerated as a result of the year 2000 issue. Each of the Company's operations are at a different level of completion. In some cases, the existing system which is being replaced is not year 2000 compliant. If the implementation of the new system for these operations is not expected to be complete by the year 2000, a contingency plan which includes upgrading the existing software or the temporary use of manual processes will be put in place. Management does not expect any significant internal issues related to year 2000 compliance. The Company's manufacturing process involves some use of computers and embedded chips in process equipment. Each operation has been assigned a coordinator to oversee the planning, testing and remediation of this equipment. While management does not expect any year 2000 related shutdowns, it believes that any problems that do occur would be isolated. In these cases, production can be moved to other operations within the Company until the problem is corrected. Management expects to remediate any undiscovered year 2000 equipment problems within a matter of days, with no material impact on overall production. The Company depends on customers and suppliers for its daily operations. Disruptions due to year 2000 problems in their operations could have a significant impact on the Company. The Company is currently monitoring the status of its customers and suppliers to determine risks and contingency plans. As of June 30, 1999, total external expenditures related to the year 2000 program are approximately $1.0 million and have been funded from cash from operations. Of the $1.0 million, $0.3 million was for consultants, $0.4 million for hardware, $0.2 million for software and $0.1 million for communications equipment. Future expenditures for this program are not expected to be significant. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include statements about such matters as global restructuring, annual cost savings, future sales, estimated impact of actions upon future earnings, debt, year 2000 expenditures and compliance, industry trends, operating efficiency and profitability. Actual future events and circumstances (including future performance, results and trends) could differ materially from those set forth in such statements due to various factors. One factor is the risk to completing the year 2000 plan, which includes the Company's ability to discover and correct year 2000 problems within its systems and the ability of its customers and suppliers to bring their systems into year 2000 compliance. Other factors include even more competitive marketing conditions resulting from customer consolidations, possible softening of customer demand, unanticipated events or circumstances related to recently acquired businesses, the occurrence of unanticipated events or difficulties relating to divestiture, joint venture, operating, capital, global integration and other projects, changes in currency exchange rates, changes in general economic and competitive conditions, technological developments, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 9
