NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 including the audited financial statements and notes thereto included therein. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. NOTE 2 - STOCK COMPENSATION COSTS The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements with respect to stock options. Had compensation cost for the Company's plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans, consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", the pro forma net loss and loss per share would have been as follows: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 --------- --------- --------- --------- (in thousands, except per share amounts) Net income (loss): As reported $ 803 $ (607) $ 160 $ (4,942) Stock-based compensation costs, net of tax (52) (38) (104) (102) --------- --------- --------- --------- Pro forma $ 751 $ (645) $ 56 $ (5,044) ========= ========= ========= ========= Basic net income (loss) per common share: As reported $ 0.11 $ (0.09) $ 0.02 $ (0.70) Pro forma $ 0.10 $ (0.09) $ -- $ (0.71) Diluted net income (loss) per common share: As reported $ 0.11 $ (0.09) $ 0.02 $ (0.70) Pro forma $ 0.10 $ (0.09) $ 0.01 $ (0.71) NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" was comprised of the reported net income (loss) for the period of $0.8 million and $0.2 million in 2004 and $(0.6) million and $(4.9) million in 2003, respectively. 6 NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES During 2003, the Company completed the $7.0 million restructuring program that it had commenced during the third quarter of 2001. The program was designed around business initiatives to improve the Company's operating performance, including the redesign of our distribution system, headcount reductions, the transfer of production between manufacturing facilities and a reevaluation of our product offerings. The Company also added approximately $0.9 million of new relocation programs in 2003 to include the relocation of Fedco's inventory and machinery to Mexico and salaried headcount reductions made in order to lower overall operating costs. The remaining reserve balance at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is classified in other accrued liabilities. A summary of the reserve activity is as follows: (in thousands) Workforce Facility Related Consolidations Total ------- -------------- ----- Balance at December 31, 2003 $ 199 $ 23 $ 222 Charge to Operations -- -- -- Cash Payments (156) (23) (179) ----- ----- ----- Balance at June 30, 2004 $ 43 $ 0 $ 43 ===== ===== ===== Cash payments for severance programs are expected to continue through the end of 2004. NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 132 (Revised 2003) "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which replaces the original SFAS 132 and revises employers' financial statement disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement plans. The Company has adopted the applicable provisions of this Statement in its reporting of the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has implemented the interim reporting requirements in the financial statements included with this filing (see Note 8). 7 NOTE 6 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, ------------------ ------------------ 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands, except per share data) Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 803 $ (607) $ 160 $(4,942) Deduct preferred stock dividend (16) (16) (32) (32) ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders - basic $ 787 $ (623) $ 128 $(4,974) Add back preferred stock dividend 16 -- 32 -- ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders - diluted $ 803 $ (623) $ 160 $(4,974) ======= ======= ======= ======= Denominator: Weighted average common shares-- basic 7,106 7,106 7,106 7,106 Dilutive effect of Series B preferred stock 49 -- 47 -- Dilutive effect of stock options 158 -- 128 -- ------- ------- ------- ------- Adjusted weighted average common shares and equivalents - diluted 7,313 7,106 7,281 7,106 ======= ======= ======= ======= Net income (loss) per common share: - basic $ 0.11 $ (0.09) $ 0.02 $ (0.70) ======= ======= ======= ======= - diluted $ 0.11 $ (0.09) $ 0.02 $ (0.70) ======= ======= ======= ======= The weighted average basic common shares outstanding were used in the calculation of the diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as the use of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share for the periods. Certain options to purchase common stock were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares for the period. The anti-dilutive options outstanding and their exercise prices are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 --------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Options outstanding 58,900 301,000 87,300 80,300 Range of exercise prices $5.88 - $11.75 $4.72 - $11.75 $5.25 - $11.75 $5.50 - $11.75 8 NOTE 7 - BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA The Company is organized into two segments, also referred to herein as strategic business groups ("SBG") based on the type of customer served -- Automotive and Light Truck, and Heavy Duty. The Automotive and Light Truck SBG is comprised of a Heat Exchange Unit and a Temperature Control Products Unit, both serving the aftermarket. The Heavy Duty SBG consists of an OEM and Aftermarket unit, both serving the heavy-duty marketplace. The table below sets forth information about the reported segments: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 --------- --------- --------- --------- (in thousands) Trade sales: Automotive and Light Truck $ 51,284 $ 43,222 $ 93,363 $ 82,318 Heavy Duty 20,937 15,080 38,753 28,684 Intersegment transfers: Automotive and Light Truck 1,636 865 3,352 1,720 Heavy Duty -- -- -- -- Eliminations (1,636) (865) (3,352) (1,720) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total net sales $ 72,221 $ 58,302 $ 132,116 $ 111,002 ========= ========= ========= ========= Operating income (loss): Automotive and Light Truck $ 2,169 $ 425 $ 3,986 $ (207) Restructuring and other special charges -- (326) -- (386) --------- --------- --------- --------- Automotive and Light Truck total 2,169 99 3,986 (593) --------- --------- --------- --------- Heavy Duty 1,069 (8) 1,042 (1,358) Restructuring and other special charges -- (214) -- (572) --------- --------- --------- --------- Heavy Duty total 1,069 (222) 1,042 (1,930) --------- --------- --------- --------- Corporate expenses (1,490) (1,099) (3,137) (2,588) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total operating income (loss) $ 1,748 $ (1,222) $ 1,891 $ (5,111) ========= ========= ========= ========= 9 NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT AND POST-RETIREMENT PLANS The components of net periodic benefit costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 --------------------------------------- RETIREMENT PLANS POSTRETIREMENT PLANS --------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Service cost $ 214 $ 319 $ 1 $ 1 Interest cost 456 717 10 10 Expected return on plan assets (559) (797) -- -- Amortization of net loss 59 56 1 1 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net periodic benefit cost $ 170 $ 295 $ 12 $ 12 ======= ======= ======= ======= SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 --------------------------------------- RETIREMENT PLANS POSTRETIREMENT PLANS --------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------- ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Service cost $ 428 $ 596 $ 2 $ 2 Interest cost 912 1,339 20 20 Expected return on plan assets (1,119) (1,489) -- -- Amortization of net loss 118 105 2 2 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net periodic benefit cost $ 339 $ 551 $ 24 $ 24 ======= ======= ======= ======= Improved portfolio performance has resulted in a reduction of estimated 2004 pension contributions from $3.6 million to $3.1 million. NOTE 9 - RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR INFORMATION In a press release dated, July 27, 2004, the Company indicated that it had undertaken a review of the accounting associated with the revenue recognition impact of shipping terms to certain customers near quarter's end. The issue relates to the recognition of revenue at the time products were shipped to certain customers, who have shipping terms that require revenue to have been reported when product was received by these customers. This review has been completed and resulted in the reversal of $1.3 million in previously reported first quarter 2004 sales and $0.2 million of corresponding pretax profit, into the second quarter of 2004. As a result, the Company has restated its results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 and is filing an amended Form 10-Q for the period. The Company has determined that the impact of this issue on other prior periods was not material and that no changes are required with respect to the financial statements for other prior periods. 10 A comparison of the originally reported and restated amounts for the first quarter of 2004 is as follows: Originally Reported Restated -------- -------- (in thousands) Net sales $61,208 $ 59,895 ======= ======== Gross margin $10,555 $ 10,259 ======= ======== Selling, general and administrative expenses $10,163 $ 10,116 ======= ======== Net loss $ (413) $ (643) ======= ======== Loss per common share - basic $ (0.06) $ (0.09) ======= ======== - diluted $ (0.06) $ (0.09) ======= ======== Accounts receivable $44,823 $ 43,510 ======= ======== Total inventories $72,662 $ 73,679 ======= ======== Accrued liabilities $19,156 $ 19,090 ======= ======== 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In a press release dated, July 27, 2004, the Company indicated that it had undertaken a review of the accounting associated with the revenue recognition impact of shipping terms to certain customers near quarters' end. The issue relates to the recognition of revenue at the time products were shipped to certain customers, who have shipping terms that require revenue to have been reported when product was received by these customers. The completed review identified $1.3 million of net sales and $0.2 million of corresponding profit that had been previously recognized when shipped in the first quarter of 2004 rather than when received by the customer in the second quarter of 2004. As a result, although the Company intends to restate its results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 and file an amended Form 10-Q for the period, there is no impact on the financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. The Company has determined that the impact of this issue on other prior periods was not material and that no changes are required with respect to the financial statements for other prior periods. INTRODUCTION The Company designs, manufactures and markets radiators, radiator cores, heater cores, air conditioning parts (including condensers, compressors, accumulators and evaporators) and other heat transfer products for the automotive and light truck aftermarket. In addition, the Company designs, manufactures and distributes radiators, radiator cores, charge air coolers, oil coolers and other specialty heat exchangers for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of heavy trucks and industrial and off-highway equipment and the heavy duty heat exchanger aftermarket. The Company is organized into two strategic business groups based upon the type of customer served - Automotive and Light Truck and Heavy Duty. Management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based upon operating income (loss) before taxes, as well as cash flow from operations, which reflects operating results and asset management. In order to evaluate market trends and changes, management utilizes a variety of economic and industry data including miles driven by vehicles, average age of vehicles, gasoline usage and pricing and automotive and light truck vehicle population data. In the heavy duty segment, we also utilize Class 7 and 8 truck production data and industrial and off-highway equipment production. Management looks to grow the business through a combination of internal growth, including the addition of new customers and new products, and strategic acquisitions. At the end of 2002, the Company acquired certain assets of Fedco Automotive Components Company. This acquisition strengthened our position in the heater core market, provided the Company with a new major customer, provided the capability for in-house production of aluminum heaters and allowed us to maximize the benefits generated by the in-house production of copper/brass heaters at our Mexican plant. Operating performance in any given quarter is not necessarily indicative of performance for the full year as the Company's business is seasonal. Sales peak during the second and third quarters due to increased demand for replacement radiator and air conditioning components in the Auto & Light Truck segment. During 2003, the Company completed the $7.0 million restructuring program that it had commenced during the third quarter of 2001. The program was designed around business initiatives to improve the Company's operating performance, including the redesign of our distribution system, headcount reductions, the transfer of production between manufacturing facilities and a reevaluation of our product offerings. The 12 Company also added approximately $0.9 million of restructuring programs in 2003 to include the relocation of Fedco's inventory and machinery to Mexico and salaried headcount reductions made in order to lower overall operating costs. Management believes that benefits from these initiatives are serving as a foundation for improvements in 2004. OPERATING RESULTS QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 Sales for the second quarter of 2004 of $72.2 million were $13.9 million or 23.8% above the second quarter of 2003. The Automotive and Light Truck segment had sales of $51.3 million, which were $8.1 million or 18.7% above the second quarter of 2003. Heat exchange product sales increased 19.7%, while temperature control product sales were 13.7% above the prior year period. Heat exchange product sales benefited from increased demand for the Company's products, driven by seasonal restocking by some of our major customers. The temperature control products increase reflects the impact of new business added since the second quarter of last year offset in part by lower marketplace demand for temperature control products. Customers have changed their buying patterns such that they no longer rely heavily on large preseason orders; rather they purchase products in closer proximity to the summer season. In addition, in most parts of the country cool weather conditions have delayed the start of the summer selling season. Heavy Duty segment sales in the second quarter of 2004 were $20.9 million, $5.9 million or 38.8% above the prior year period. Sales in the Heavy Duty OEM Unit were up 76.9% reflecting increased product demand from our OEM customers due to rising Class 7 and 8 truck sales, incremental revenues from new business announced subsequent to the second quarter of 2003 and the depressed sales levels from the year before. Heavy Duty Aftermarket Unit sales were 8.6% above the second quarter of 2003 due to the impact of new product lines recently introduced into the marketplace, pricing actions and an increase in unit volume caused by the positive effects of an improving economy. Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, was 17.6% versus 15.4% in the second quarter of 2003. The improvement reflects higher sales, higher levels of productivity, the benefits of cost savings initiatives executed by the Company over the past three years as well as the full integration of the Fedco acquisition. Gross margin also benefited by 0.2% from the reversal of a Heavy Duty OEM warranty reserve which was no longer required. These favorable items more than offset the impacts of rising commodity costs. The Company is taking pricing actions in an effort to offset some or all of these additional raw material costs. However, the Company's markets remain highly competitive and full recovery of these costs is not expected. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 15.1% from 16.6% in the second quarter of 2003. The decrease in expenses primarily reflects the Company's cost reduction programs over the past several years, offset in part by higher expenses due to the sales increase. Restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2003 of $0.5 million were associated with the closure of a Heavy Duty plant in Phoenix, Arizona, branch closure activities, accrued severance due to headcount reductions taken during the quarter and costs related to the integration of the Fedco copper/brass heater core production into our existing Mexico facility. The Company's restructuring program was completed during 2003, and only cash flow impacts are being incurred in 2004. Interest expense was17.2% below last year's levels due to the impact of lower interest rates and lower average debt levels. Average rates on our revolving credit facility were 4.0% for the second quarter of 2004 versus 4.25% for the same period in 2003, while average borrowings for the quarter were $49.1 million in 2004 compared with $57.5 million a year ago. Discounting charges associated with the sale of certain 13 receivables pursuant to a customer-sponsored vendor program administered by a financial institution are also included in interest expense. The effective tax rates in 2004 and 2003 primarily reflect only a foreign provision, as the reversal of the Company's deferred tax valuation allowances will offset a majority of the state and any federal income tax provisions. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an additional $0.7 million of refundable income taxes as a result of tax method changes included in its 2002 Federal Income Tax Return. The net income for the second quarter was $0.8 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share in 2004 versus a net loss of $0.6 million or $0.09 per basic and diluted share in 2003. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 VERSUS JUNE 30, 2003 For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net sales of $132.1 million were 19.0% above a year ago. Automotive and Light Truck Group sales were up 13.4% as the gains in the heat exchange unit resulting from product line expansions by several major retail customers, the full integration of the Fedco acquisition and increased customer demand offset lower temperature control unit sales reflecting changes in customer buying habits, higher levels of customer inventories going into the year and wet and cool weather conditions. These temperature control volume declines more than offset the impact of new customers added since the first half of last year. Heavy Duty Group sales were 35.1% above 2003 reflecting Heavy Duty OEM customer additions, and increased sales of class 7 and 8 trucks. In addition, Heavy Duty Aftermarket sales have benefited from new product programs, pricing actions and improved economic conditions resulting in stable product demand as compared to marketplace declines experienced during the past several years. Gross margins, as a percentage of net sales, for the first six months of 2004 were 17.4% compared with 14.6% a year ago. The improvement in 2004 reflects lower product costs due to higher production levels, improved efficiency and the impact of cost reduction programs implemented during the past three years. These offset the impacts of rising commodity costs. In the first half of 2003, margins were adversely impacted by production cutbacks instituted in the Automotive and Light Truck Group in the fourth quarter of 2002. These cutbacks resulted in higher actual inventory costs at the end of 2002, which translated into lower gross margins in 2003 as the product was sold. Margins last year were also adversely impacted by start-up problems with our aluminum tube mill and other manufacturing issues. These items offset the favorable impacts of the Company's cost savings initiative programs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months increased by $0.7 million to 15.9% of sales versus 18.3% of sales a year ago. The dollar increase reflects higher expense levels attributable to increased sales for the period, while the reduction as a percentage of sales reflects the results of the Company's overall improvement inefficiency. Restructuring and other special charges of $1.0 million for the first six months of 2003 represent costs associated with the closure of two regional Heavy Duty Aftermarket plants in North Kansas City, Missouri and Phoenix, Arizona and the closure of the Charlotte, North Carolina branch, the movement of Fedco copper/brass inventory and machinery to Mexico and a cost reduction program of salaried headcount reductions. No restructuring costs were recorded in 2004. Interest costs were $0.2 million below last year for the first six months of 2004, due to lower average debt levels and lower average interest rates. Average interest rates on our revolving credit facility were 4.0% in 2004 compared to 4.25% in 2003, while average debt levels were $51.0 million vs. $59.0 million in 2003. 14 The effective tax rate in both 2004 and 2003 reflects only a state and foreign provision, as the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance will offset any federal tax provision. The 2003 provision also includes a $0.7 million of refundable income taxes recorded in the second quarter. Net income for the first six months of 2004 was $0.2 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, while the net loss for the first six months of 2003 was $4.9 million or $0.70 per basic and diluted share. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flow from operating activities was $3.2 million in the first six months of 2004. Accounts receivable levels increased by $9.0 million due to the higher sales levels. This impact was partially offset as the Company continued to accelerate the collection of customer receivables utilizing a cost effective customer-sponsored vendor program administered by a financial institution and by working directly with other customers. This accelerated collection was done in an effort to offset the continuing trend towards longer customer dating terms by "blue chip" customers. Inventory levels grew $3.2 million reflecting the start-up of new customer programs and increases related to typical seasonal buying patterns. The Company will remain focused on managing inventory levels to match marketplace demand throughout the remainder of 2004 particularly in our Automotive and Light Truck Temperature Control product lines. Accounts payable rose by $8.5 million as a result of the growth in inventory levels as well as our efforts to balance payables with the ongoing shift in customer receivables mix toward longer payment cycles. Accrued liabilities have risen as a result of the increase in sales and the improved operating profitability. During the first six months of 2003, operations generated $1.9 million of cash. Accounts receivable in 2003 declined by $5.7 million as the Company commenced its participation in a customer-sponsored vendor payment program designed to accelerate the collection of receivables. Inventories rose by $12.0 million in 2003 due to soft market conditions, as well as a build-up in Automotive and Light Truck inventory in advance of expected typical seasonal demand increases in the second and third quarters and new business additions. Accounts payable rose by $11.9 million in 2003, as a result of the growth in inventory levels, as well as our efforts to balance payables with the ongoing shift in customer receivable mix towards longer payment cycles. The $2.5 million of capital spending during the first six months of 2004 was primarily in the Automotive and Light Truck segment. This reflected expenditures for new product introduction, cost reductions and computer upgrades. The Company expects that capital expenditures for the year will be between $5.5 million and $6.5 million. In May 2003, the Company completed the sale of its Gando Drive facility in New Haven, Connecticut and entered into a lease of its currently occupied space. As a result, the Company repaid the $5.0 million Industrial Revenue Bond on the facility, created greater availability of funds under its credit agreement and eliminated an underutilized asset. Total debt at June 30, 2004 was $50.7 million, compared to $50.9 million at the end of 2003 and $54.2 million at June 30, 2003. The reduction from year-end reflects the utilization of cash generated by operating activities. At June 30, 2004 the Company had $10.2 million available for future borrowings under its Loan Agreement. The future liquidity and ordinary capital needs of the Company in the short term are expected to be met from a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under the existing Loan Agreement. The Company's working capital requirements peak during the second and third quarters, reflecting the normal seasonality in the Automotive and Light Truck segment. In addition, the Company's future cash flow may be impacted by industry trends lengthening customer payment terms or the discontinuance of currently 15 utilized customer sponsored payment programs. The loss of one or more of the Company's significant customers or changes in payment terms to one or more major suppliers could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and future liquidity. During 2003, the Company began utilizing a customer-sponsored program administered by a financial institution to sell certain receivables in order to accelerate the collection of funds and offset the impact of lengthening customer payment terms. The Company intends to continue utilizing this program or similar programs as long as it is a cost effective tool to accelerate cash flow and will expand its usage as other customers make it available. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under its Loan Agreement, will be adequate to meet its near-term anticipated ordinary capital expenditures and working capital requirements. However, the Company believes that the amount of borrowings available under the Loan Agreement would not be sufficient to meet the capital needs for major growth initiatives, such as significant acquisitions. If the Company were to implement major new growth initiatives, it would have to seek additional sources of capital. However, no assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in securing such additional sources of capital. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES For interim reporting purposes, the Company calculates its effective income tax rate based upon the current estimate of pre-tax income for the year. The critical accounting estimates utilized by the Company remain unchanged from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 132 (Revised 2003) "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which replaces the original SFAS 132 and revises employers' financial statement disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement plans. The Company adopted the applicable provisions of this Statement in its reporting of the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has implemented the interim reporting requirements in the financial statements included with this filing. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are not historical in nature, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain detailed factors that could cause the Company's actual results to materially differ from the forward-looking statements made by the Company. In particular, statements relating to the future financial performance of the Company are subject to business conditions and growth in the general economy and automotive and truck business, the impact of competitive products and pricing, changes in customer and product mix, failure to obtain new customers or retain old customers or changes in the financial stability of customers, changes in the cost of raw materials, components or finished products and changes in interest rates and continued availability under the Company's Loan Agreement. The forward-looking statements contained in this filing are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. 16 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company has certain exposures to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and the price of commodities used in our manufacturing process. There have been no material changes in market risk since the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004. In conjunction with this evaluation the Company detected a material internal control weakness associated with determining the revenue recognition impact of shipping terms to certain customers near quarters' end. It was determined that $1.3 million of net sales and $0.2 million of net income associated with shipments having terms of FOB Destination had been recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 instead of in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Company plans to restate the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and promptly file an amended Form 10-Q. The Company has determined that the impact of this issue on other prior periods was not material and that no changes are required with respect to the financial statements for other prior periods. The Company has implemented process and control improvements to insure that revenue is recognized in the proper periods in the future. In addition, the Company has begun mapping its processes in anticipation of complying with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There have been no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 17 PART II.
