MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. General
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have not been audited by independent accountants, were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in Modine's March 31, 2004 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except for reclassifications made to conform the prior year with the current year's presentation. The financial information furnished includes all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results for the first three months of fiscal 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Therefore, such statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Modine's 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders, which statements and notes were incorporated by reference in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K Report for the year ended March 31, 2004.
2. Significant accounting policies
Cash and cash equivalents --
Credit balances for checks written but not yet presented for payment have been classified as a reduction to cash and cash equivalents. Previously these credit balances have been included in accounts payable. Prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These credit balances, were $9,162,000 and $11,127,000 at March 31, 2004 and 2003. At June 26, 2003 the credit balance was $7,208,000.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Stock-based compensation --
Stock based compensation is recognized by the Company using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of Modine stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. If the fair-value-based method of accounting for the stock option grants for the periods shown had been applied in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," requiring quarterly SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure, Modine's net earnings and net earnings per share would have been changed as follows:

New Accounting Pronouncements -
In May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-2 ("FSP 106-2"), "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" (the "Act"). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare ("Medicare Part D") as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of post-retirement health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. When effective, FSP 106-2 will supersede FSP 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003," which was issued in January 2004 and permitted a sponsor of a post-retirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act until more authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy was issued. Modine elected the one-time defer ral allowed under FSP 106-1 and as a result any measures of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation or net periodic post-retirement benefit cost in the financial statements or accompanying notes do not reflect the effects of the Act on post-retirement health care benefit plans. FSP 106-2 provides authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy and specifies the disclosure requirements for employers who have adopted FSP 106-2, including those who are unable to determine whether benefits provided under its plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. FSP 106-2 is effective for Modine's second quarter of fiscal 2005. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 106-2 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
3. Pension and other post-retirement benefit plans

9. Acquisition
Effective July 31, 2004, Modine acquired the South Korean assets of the Automotive Climate Control Division (ACC) of WiniaMando Inc. Modine expects to complete the acquisitions of the balance of ACC's operations in China in approximately 30 days, or as soon as certain necessary approvals and filings are completed with the Chinese government. A definitive purchase agreement was announced on April 29, 2004. The total purchase price of the Korean and Chinese operations is expected to be approximately $88 million, including approximately $83 million in cash plus the assumption of certain long-term liabilities. These amounts do not include professional services and other related acquisition costs. The acquisition is expected to increase Modine's revenue by more than 15%, provide many complementary products and leverage Modine's significant technology investment.
Headquartered near Seoul, South Korea, with manufacturing facilities in Asan City, ACC designs and manufacturers heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for minivans, SUVs, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and trains as well as other heat transfer components. ACC employs nearly 700 people, and owns a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, research center and manufacturing plant in South Korea and wholly owned facility in Shanghai, China as well as a 50/50 joint venture in Hefei, China.
10. Restructuring and other plant closure costs
On June 17, 2004 the Company, through its Electronics Cooling Group (which is reported in the Distributed Products segment), announced plans to close its Guaymas, Mexico plant due to a shift in customer sourcing and over-capacity in its North American operations. The move, which consists of transferring equipment and current operations to Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Hsinchu, Taiwan, is targeted to be completed before the end of September 2004 and is designed to reduce operating expenses, improve asset utilization and focus manufacturing operations closer to the electronics customer's assembly facilities. The estimated financial impact, which includes restructuring and other closure costs, is estimated to be approximately $3,000,000, with $1,983,000 being recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and the remainder to be recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. These expenses are reported in the line items "restructuring charges" and "cost of sales" in the consolidated statements of earnings. The restructuring costs include severance due to a workforce reduction of approximately 30 employees, and the remaining payments on a non-cancelable operating lease that expires in April 2008. The "other closure costs" consist primarily of accelerated depreciation of certain assets that will no longer be utilized.

12. Financial Instruments
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term liquid debt instruments. Such investments are made only in instruments issued by high quality institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating throughout the world. At June 26, 2004 and March 31, 2004 approximately 56% and 54%, respectively, of the Company's trade accounts receivables were from the Company's top ten individual customers. These customers operate primarily in the automotive, truck, and heavy equipment markets and are all influenced by many of the same market and general economic factors. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of each customer and actively monitors its financial condition and developing business news. The Company does not generally require collat
eral or advanced payments from its customers, but does so in those cases where we identify a substantial credit risk. Credit losses to customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been material. Total bad debt write-offs have been below 1% of outstanding trade receivable balances for the presented periods.
13. Foreign Exchange Contracts/Derivatives/Hedges
Modine maintains a foreign risk-management strategy that uses derivative instruments in a limited way to protect assets and obligations already held by Modine and to protect its cashflows. Derivative instruments are not used for the purpose of generating income or speculative activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company policy. Modine's principal derivative/hedging activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted of the following:
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries
The Company has a number of investments in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and non-consolidated foreign joint ventures. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to currency exchange rate volatility. The Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge this exposure. The currency exposure related to the net assets of Modine's European subsidiaries are managed partially through foreign-currency-denominated debt agreements entered into by the parent. For the quarter ended June 26, 2004, $0.7 million of net gains related to the foreign-currency-denominated debt agreements were included in the cumulative translation adjustment.

Commitments:
At June 26, 2004, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $31,676,000. Significant commitments include the purchases of additional assets and equipment for the new assembly facility in Wackersdorf, Germany, which began production in fiscal 2004, and tooling and equipment expenditures for new customer programs.
15. Segment data
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, management introduced a change to the segment reporting structure. The Emporia, Kansas facility, which was previously reported in the Original Equipment segment, is now reported in the Distributed Products segment. This revision was made to include the manufacturing plant in the segment for which it is manufacturing product. Sales and operating income presented for the quarter ended June 2003 have been restated for the realignment of this manufacturing facility. In addition, certain centralized service expenses have been allocated to the reportable segments from corporate and administration expenses beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The new central service allocations for expenses directly attributable to the reportable segments include expenses related to the engine products group, and information technology, finance, purchasing, quality assurance, and environmental departments. Operating income presented for the quarter ended June 2003 has been restated to reflect the new central service allocations.

16. Contingencies and Litigation
Environmental -
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has designated Modine as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for remediation of five waste disposal sites with which the Company may have had direct or indirect involvement. These sites are as follows: Elgin Salvage (Illinois); N.L./Taracorp (Illinois); Interstate Lead (Alabama); H.O.D. Landfill (Illinois); and Alburn Incinerator/Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois). These sites are not Company-owned and allegedly contain wastes attributable to Modine from past operations. These claims are in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings and include recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations and remedial actions. In three instances, Modine has not received, and may never receive, documentation verifying its involvement and/or its share of waste contributions to the sites. Additionally, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified.
At the N.L./Taracorp site, a settlement agreement was signed in January 2002 which included a $118,609 settlement assessment. On January 16, 2004, the US EPA published its notice of proposed settlement with the de minimis PRPs, including Modine. In May 2004, Modine submitted a payment of $118,609 as requested by the US EPA in accordance with the executed De Minimis Contributor Administrative Order. Modine does not anticipate any additional payments relating to the cleanup of the N.L./Taracorp site.
In 1986, Modine executed a Consent Decree involving other PRPs and the Illinois EPA and paid $1,029 for its allocated share (0.1%) of the Alburn Incinerator, Inc. remediation costs. The US EPA signed a Covenant Not to Sue in conjunction with the Consent Decree, but reserved its right to "seek additional relief" for any additional costs incurred by the United States at the site. In November 2003, Modine received a General Notice of Liability from the US EPA concerning the Alburn Incinerator Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster site. The US EPA requested Modine's participation as a PRP for the performance of additional activities that the US EPA has determined, or will determine, are required to restore the Alburn Incinerator Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster site. The US EPA did not provide an estimate of the added costs arising from the planned work, however, the cost to Modine is not expected to be material based upon Modine's relatively small portion of waste at just one (Alburn Incinerator, Inc.) of the three propert ies comprising the Lake Calumet Cluster. In December 2003, Modine responded to the US EPA stating that it would be willing to participate in settlement of the Alburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster site remedial costs as a "micro de minimis PRP".
The Company accrues costs associated with environmental matters, on an undiscounted basis, when they become probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had $119,000 included in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet to cover cleanup activities, including remediation and legal costs at the N.L./Taracorp site. As a result of the May 2004 N.L./Taracorp settlement payment as noted above, there is no longer an accrual balance recorded for cleanup activities, including remediation and legal costs, as of the fiscal quarter ending June 26, 2004. Costs anticipated for settlement of the Alburn Incinerator/Lake Calumet Cluster site cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and have not been accrued.
Modine has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at a California Department of Toxic Substances-listed site named Gibson Environmental in Bakersfield, California. Modine was named a PRP as a result of waste disposal at Gibson by a former owner of a Modine property. Modine entered into an agreement with the Gibson Environmental PRP committee on June 25, 2004 which indemnified Modine from any future governmental or third party claims relating to costs associated with the remediation of the Gibson site. Modine submitted a $17,918 payment to a Gibson Environmental PRP trust fund in accordance with this agreement. Modine does not anticipate any additional expenses relating to this site.
The Company also recorded other environmental cleanup and remediation expense accruals for certain facilities located in the United States and The Netherlands. These expenditures relate to facilities where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations, but will now require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure appropriate environmental protection. Environmental liabilities recorded at June 26, 2004 and March 31, 2004 to cover the investigative work and remediation for sites in the United States and The Netherlands was $1.2 million for both periods. These liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in "accrued expense and other current liabilities" and "other noncurrent liabilities". No significant changes to these accruals were recorded in the first three months of fiscal 2005.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Modine's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the First Quarter of 2004-05 with the First Quarter of 2003-04
First quarter net sales of $347.4 million (a record) were 20.2% higher than the $288.9 million reported in the first quarter of last year. Sales were positively impacted by net favorable currency exchange rates, primarily the stronger euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, of approximately $11.2 million when compared to the same quarter last year.
Revenues from the Original Equipment segment grew by 29.5%, or $32.7 million, from the same quarter last year. Sales improvements in the Original Equipment segment were recorded in all of the markets served by the segment. The largest improvement occurred in the truck market, which benefited from sales of new exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) cooler products, while the off-highway market also achieved significant increases in sales volumes. Revenues from the European Operations segment grew by 20.3%, or $20.8 million, from the same quarter last year and excluding the impact of the stronger euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, revenues would have grown by 10.2%. Improved volumes were seen in the European heavy-duty markets, which were partially offset by the softer European automotive market. In the Distributed Products segment, revenue declined 0.2%, or $0.2 million. Reduced aftermarket revenue was the major contributor to the decline, which was offset by stronger coil sales in the commercial HVA
C&R (heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration) business and minimal year over year increases in the electronic cooling markets.
Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 23.7%. This was a 1.4% decrease as a percentage of sales from the 25.1% earned in the first quarter of the previous year. Lower gross margins were earned in the European Operations and Original Equipment segments, while higher gross margins were reported in the Distributed Products segment on comparable sales with the same quarter a year ago. The major markets experiencing declines included the North American automotive, and the European automotive and heavy duty markets, which were partially offset by improved margins in the aftermarket, truck, HVAC&R, and electronic cooling markets. Higher material costs as a percentage of sales was a large factor in the year over year overall decline in gross profit margin while labor increased slightly and manufacturing overhead declined as a percentage of sales. The growth in material costs as a percentage of sales can be attributed to an increase in the metal market prices, which occurred in the latter part of
fiscal 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $59.5 million were up from the prior year's first quarter of $57.2 million but down 2.7% as a percentage of sales to 17.1%. The impact of currency exchange rates, primarily the stronger euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, contributed to approximately 60% of the overall increase. Many items contributed to the remaining increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, the larger items being higher depreciation expense, maintenance and rearrangement expense, travel related expense, and professional service expense.
Restructuring charges of $1.5 million were recorded during the quarter related to the previously announced closure of the Guaymas, Mexico facility in the Company's electronics cooling business. The closure is the result of a shift in customer sourcing and overcapacity in North American operations for the electronics cooling market. The charges recorded during the quarter included $1.4 million which is the discounted fair value of the remaining lease term which expires in April, 2008, and severance costs of $0.1 million.
Interest expense decreased 10.9%, or $0.2 million, while average outstanding debt levels decreased $26.6 million, or approximately 23.6%, from the same quarter one year ago. The decline in the interest expense was less than the debt level decline primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations on euro-denominated loans.
Net non-operating income increased by $0.1 million from the same quarter one year ago. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated affiliates was up $1.0 million, a direct result of the continued strong performance of Modine's Brazilian joint venture company, Radiadores Visconde, Ltda., from the first quarter of the prior year. Royalty income was up $0.5 million from the first quarter of last year. Also, unfavorable exchange losses on foreign currency transactions of $0.7 million in the current year compared to favorable exchange gains on foreign currency transactions of $0.3 million in the prior year resulted in a net $1.0 million year over year reduction in non-operating income. Tooling sales recorded during the first quarter were also down $0.3 million.
The provision for income taxes in the current quarter was $9.6 million compared to last year's first quarter expense of $5.9 million. The effective tax rate of 41.1% represents a 6.8 percentage point increase from the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from: higher combined U.S. federal and state tax rates due to a greater portion of the Company's worldwide income generated in the U.S.; a one time income shift between taxing jurisdictions, and increased U.S. taxes provided on unremitted foreign earnings.
Net earnings were $13.8 million or $0.41 basic and $0.40 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of the year. This compares to earnings, of $11.3 million, or $0.33 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of the prior year. Return on shareholders' equity through the first quarter of the current fiscal year was 9.4% compared to 8.3% in the prior year.
Outlook for the Remainder of the Year
The positive momentum from the second half of fiscal year 2004 has continued into the first quarter, posting another record in quarterly sales and increased earnings. For the second quarter of fiscal 2005, management expects earnings to be slightly higher than the first quarter. In addition, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 41.1%, is expected to be between 35% and 37% for the balance of the year. Management is confident that the Company is on track to deliver the fiscal 2005 improvement in both sales and earnings stated in the prior year-end earnings release. The closing of the proposed acquisition of the South Korean assets of the Automotive Climate Control Division of WiniaMando Inc. occurred, effective July 31, 2004. The acquisition, along with new business programs and continued market recovery in certain of our businesses, will continue to produce strong financial results and performance for the Company and increase shareholder value. These forward-looking statements regarding s
ales, earnings, and operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. See "Important Factors and Assumptions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Comparison between June 26, 2004 and March 31, 2004
Current assets
Cash and cash equivalents of $47.3 million decreased $16.0 million from the March 31, 2004 balance. Capital expenditures, debt reductions and the quarterly dividend payment exceeded cash provided by operating activities and the issuance of common stock during the quarter.
Trade receivables of $203.8 million were up $23.6 million (13%) over year-end, primarily due to increased sales volumes, which were up $26.3 million over the previous quarter.
Inventory levels of $140.0 million increased by $3.6 million from year-end and increased $3.0 million from the same time one year ago. Inventory values have increased from year-end primarily due to seasonal builds in the Distributed Products segment. Larger sales volumes and higher material costs were the main factors for the growth in inventory values in the Original Equipment segment.
Deferred income taxes and other current assets increased by $1.5 million from year-end. The largest items contributing to the change were increases in unexpired insurance premiums and, to a lesser extent, royalty receivables offset by a reduction in prepaid income taxes.
The current ratio increased from 2.1 to 1 at year-end to 2.2 to 1. Net working capital increased $13.2 million to $242.3 million. Major items influencing the change were higher trade receivables, inventories, and other current assets together with a reduction in accounts payables. These were offset in part by lower cash and cash equivalents, higher current portion of long-term debt, higher accrued compensation and employee benefits, higher income taxes payable and higher accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Noncurrent assets
Net property, plant and equipment of $390.2 million decreased by $7.5 million over year-end. Depreciation and retirements along with the foreign currency translation during the quarter were higher than capital expenditures. Continued expenditures on the administration building and technical center facilities in Europe, and tooling and other new equipment purchases primarily supporting the European automotive market and North American truck market were among the larger capital expenditures during the first quarter. Outstanding commitments for capital expenditures were $31.7 million at June 26, 2004. More than 65% of the commitments relate to Modine's European operations. The outstanding commitments will be financed through a combination of funds generated from operations, existing cash reserves, and third party borrowing as required.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $27.1 million decreased by $1.0 million from year-end. Items reducing the overall investment balance were unfavorable currency translation effect and the recording of a dividend related to Modine's Brazilian joint venture company, Radiadores Visconde, Ltda., offset in part by equity earnings of $1.5 million recorded for the quarter.
Goodwill and intangible assets decreased by $1.0 million. Foreign currency translation and amortization were the main items contributing to the overall change. In addition, there was a reduction in the noncurrent pension liability due to the recognition of a pension curtailment charge.
Deferred charges and other noncurrent assets decreased by $0.4 million. The net decrease was primarily the result of changes in deferred pension assets and long-term deferred tax assets.
Current Liabilities
Accounts payable and other current liabilities of $182.6 million were $6.3 million lower than in March 2004. Normal timing differences in the level of operating activity and currency fluctuations were responsible for changes in the various components. Accrued income taxes increased $5.2 million from improved profits and timing differences in making estimated payments.
Debt
Outstanding debt decreased $2.0 million to $85.9 million from the March 2004 balance of $87.9 million. Domestic long-term debt decreased $0.7 million due to the dollar value change of euro-denominated loans. European long-term debt decreased by $1.3 million. Scheduled payments of $0.8 million in the quarter and the decrease in the dollar value of the value of the euro-denominated loans of $0.5 million created the change from March 2004.
Consolidated available lines of credit decreased $0.2 million to $162.8 million during the quarter. An additional $50.0 million is available on the credit line revolver, subject to lenders approval, bringing the total available up to $212.8 million. Domestically, Modine's unused lines of credit were unchanged at $150.0 million. Foreign unused lines of credit were $12.8 million. At the end of the first quarter of 2005, total debt-to-capital ratio, as defined in the Company's 2003/2004 Annual Report to Shareholders, was 12.7% down 0.3 percentage points from the end of fiscal 2004.
Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders' equity increased by $4.8 million to a total of $591.4 million. Net income of $13.8 million recorded for the quarter was partially offset by $5.2 million in dividend payments to shareholders. Net unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.7 million was reported as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro and the Brazilian real during the quarter. Also favorably impacting shareholders' equity was an increase in paid-in capital and common stock of $2.7 million. This increase resulted from the issuance of common stock used to satisfy stock option exercises and stock awards granted during the quarter. Also recognized in paid-in capital were the associated tax benefits resulting from stock option exercises.
Liquidity
Operating cash flow for the quarter ended June 26, 2004 was $2.7 million compared to $14.5 million one year ago. The differences were mainly the result of a larger increase in accounts receivable this year, due to higher sales, a 20% increase over the same quarter a year ago, and a larger decrease in accounts payable over the same quarter last year. Management continues to focus its efforts on improving working capital. Compared with the prior year, days sales outstanding decreased two days to 51 days and inventory turns increased from 6.4 to 7.7. The Company expects cash flow to remain strong in the current fiscal year and to meet its future operating, capital expenditure and strategic business opportunity costs primarily through a combination of existing cash balances, cash flows generated from operating activities and borrowings under committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The Company expects to make scheduled debt repayments in fiscal 2005 with internally generated funds. Modine believes that it
s internally generated cash flow, together with access to external resources, will be sufficient to satisfy existing commitments and plans. The acquisition of the South Korean assets of the ACC Division of WiniaMando Inc., which closed effective July 31, 2004, is being financed through a draw down of excess cash and utilization of existing credit lines. The estimated purchase price is $88 million, including $83 million in cash plus the assumption of certain long-term liabilities. In addition, management believes it is positioned to provide the necessary financial resources to take advantage of additional potential strategic business opportunities that may arise within fiscal 2005.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, Modine is subject to market exposure from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, economic risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Modine is subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its operations in foreign countries. Modine has manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Taiwan, and throughout Europe. It also has equity investments in companies located in France, Japan and Brazil. Modine sells and distributes its products throughout the world. As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the Company manufactures, distributes and sells it products. The Company's operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U. S. dollar and the European currencies, primarily the euro. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the Company's foreign subsidiaries reporting in local currencies are generally reported as a component of shareholders' equity. The Company's favorable/(unfavorable) currency translation adjustments recorded
for the three months ended June 26, 2004 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 were ($5.7) million and $28.5 million, respectively. As of June 26, 2004 and March 31, 2004, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had net current assets (defined as current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency translation risk of $78.3 million and $73.7 million, respectively. The potential decrease in the net current assets from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be approximately $7.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively. This sensitivity analysis presented assumes a parallel shift in foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. This assumption may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on individual assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.
The Company has certain foreign denominated long-term debt obligations that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. The following table presents the future principal cash flows and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value.

Interest Rate Risk
Modine's interest rate risk policies are designed to reduce the potential volatility of earnings that could arise from changes in interest rates. The Company utilizes a mixture of debt maturities together with both fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to manage its exposure to interest rate variations related to its borrowings. The Company has not entered into any interest rate derivative instruments. The following table presents the future principal cash flows and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from a customer's failure to make payment according to contract terms. The Company's principal credit risk consists of outstanding trade receivables. Prior to granting credit, each customer is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial condition, past payment experience and credit information. After credit is granted the Company actively monitors the customer's financial condition and developing business news. Approximately 56% of the trade receivables balance at June 26, 2004 was concentrated in the Company's top ten customers. Modine's history of incurring credit losses from customers has not been material, and the Company does not expect that trend to change.
Economic Risk
Economic risk is the possibility of loss resulting from economic instability in certain areas of the world or significant downturns in markets that the Company supplies. For example, traditionally, significant increases in oil prices have had an adverse effect on many markets the Company serves. Continued high oil prices may negatively impact the economic recovery that the Company is currently experiencing, particularly in the truck and off-highway markets.
With respect to international instability, the Company continues to monitor economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere. In particular, the Company monitors conditions in Brazil and the effect on the Company's $14.8 million investment in its 50%-owned joint venture. During the first quarter, the Brazilian Real weakened against the U.S. dollar by approximately 10%. Going forward, the Company will focus more intently on conditions in Asia as we integrate the ACC Division of WiniaMando Inc., which has operations in South Korea and China. As Modine expands its global presence, we also encounter risks imposed by potential trade restrictions, including tariffs, embargoes and the like. We continue to pursue non-speculative opportunities to mitigate these economic risks, and capitalize, when possible, on changing market conditions.
The Company pursues new market opportunities after careful consideration of the potential associated risks and benefits. Successes in new markets are dependent upon the Company's ability to commercialize its investments. Current examples of new and emerging markets for Modine include those related to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), CO2, and fuel cell technology. Modine's investment in these areas is subject to the risks associated with business integration, technological success and market acceptance.
The upturn in the economy is putting production pressure on certain of the Company's suppliers of raw materials. In particular, there are a limited number of suppliers of steel and aluminum fin stock serving a more robust market. As a result, some suppliers are allocating product among customers, extending lead times or holding supply to the prior year's level. The Company is exposed to the risk of supply of certain raw materials not being able to meet customer demand. In addition to the purchase of raw materials, the Company purchases parts from suppliers that use the Company's tooling to create the part. The Company does not have duplicate tooling for the manufacture of its purchased parts. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk of a supplier of such parts being unable to provide the quantity or quality of parts that the Company requires. Even in situations where suppliers are manufacturing parts without the use of Company tooling, the Company faces the challenge of obtaining high qualit y parts from suppliers.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials and supplies in the production process and has, from time to time, entered into firm purchase commitments for copper and aluminum alloy, and natural gas. The Company does not use forward contracts to hedge against changes in certain specific commodity prices of the purchase commitments outstanding. The Company does maintain agreements with certain original equipment customers to pass through certain material price fluctuations in order to mitigate the commodity price risk. The majority of agreements contain provisions in which the pass through of the price fluctuations can lag behind the actual fluctuations by a quarter or longer.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information the Company must disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Company's management. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information re
lating to the Company that is required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, Modine and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, other governmental agencies, and others in which claims, such as those relating to personal injury, property damage, or business loss, are asserted against Modine. Modine is also subject to other liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Many of the pending damages claims are covered by insurance, and when appropriate Modine accrues for uninsured liabilities. While the outcomes of these matters, including those discussed below, are uncertain, Modine does not expect that any unrecorded liabilities that may result from these matters are reasonably likely to have a material effect on Modine's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary or routine proceedings incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the Company's annual and/or quarterly reports.
