STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1
Standard Motor Products, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the manufacturing
and distribution of replacement parts for motor vehicles in the automotive
aftermarket industry.
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the
year ended December 31, 2001.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all domestic and international companies in which the Company has
more than a 50% equity ownership. The Company's investments in unconsolidated
affiliates are accounted for on the equity method. All significant inter-company
items have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the
entire year.
Where appropriate, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001
unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2002
presentation.
NOTE 2
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the guidelines of the Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) entitled "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives" and "Vendor
Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the
Vendors Products." These guidelines address when sales incentives and discounts
should be recognized and the accounting for certain costs incurred by a vendor
on behalf of a customer, as well as where the related revenues and expenses
should be classified in the financial statements. Historically, the Company has
provided certain consideration, including rebates, product and discounts to
customers and treated such costs as advertising, marketing and sales force
expenses. Beginning with the first quarter of 2002, such costs are now treated
as a reduction of revenue or as cost of sales. As a result, certain costs have
been reclassified during the first three and six months of 2001 from selling,
general and administrative expenses, of approximately $8.7 million and $16.2
million, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings.
NOTE 3
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
(SFAS No. 142). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be
amortized, but instead, will be subject to an annual review for potential
impairment. Using the discounted cash flows method, based on the Company's
weighted average cost of capital and market multiples, the Company reviewed the
fair values of each of its reporting units. The recent decline in economic and
market conditions, higher integration costs than anticipated and the general
softness in the automotive aftermarket has caused a decrease in the fair values
of certain of the Company's reporting units. As a result, the Company recorded
an impairment loss on goodwill as a cumulative effect of accounting change of
$16 million, net of tax, or $1.35 per diluted share during the first quarter of
2002. The impairment loss relates to goodwill pertaining to certain of the
Company's reporting units within its European Operations (classified as "All
Other") for segment reporting and within its Temperature Control Segment and
recorded charges of $8.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

=================== ======================
Effective April 27, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with GE Capital
Corp. and a syndicate of lenders for a new secured revolving credit facility.
The term of the new credit agreement is for a period of five years and provides
for a line of credit up to $225 million. The initial proceeds were used to
refinance approximately $97 million of the outstanding indebtedness under the
Company's former bank line of credit, a senior note of $52 million, a $25
million accounts receivable sale arrangement and a Canadian Credit Facility of
$5 million. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $2.8
million, net of taxes, in the second quarter of 2001, for a prepayment penalty
and write-off of unamortized fees for the retirement of the above related debt.
Availability under the new credit facility is based on a formula of eligible
accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible fixed assets. Direct
borrowings bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the applicable margin (as
defined) or the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable margin (as defined), at the
option of the Company. Borrowings are collateralized by accounts receivable,
inventory and fixed assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The terms of the
new revolving credit facility contain, among other provisions, requirements of
maintaining defined levels of tangible net worth and specific limits or
restrictions on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, liens and
acquisitions.
On July 26, 1999, the Company completed a public offering of convertible
subordinated debentures amounting to $90 million. The Convertible Debentures
carry an interest rate of 6.75%, payable semi-annually, and will mature on July
15, 2009. The Convertible Debentures are convertible into 2,796,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 7
The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes. The principal financial instruments used for cash flow hedging
purposes are interest rate swaps.
In July 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage
its exposure to interest rate changes. The swaps effectively convert a portion
of the Company's variable rate debt under the revolving credit facility to a
fixed rate, without exchanging the notional principal amounts. At June 30, 2002,
the Company had two outstanding interest rate swap agreements maturing in
January 2003 and 2004, with aggregate notional principal amounts of $75 million.
Under these agreements the Company receives a floating rate based on the LIBOR
interest rate, and pays a fixed rate of 4.92% on a notional amount of $45
million and 4.37% on a notional amount of $30 million. If, at any time, the
swaps are determined to be ineffective, in all or in part, due to changes in the
interest rate swap agreements, the fair value of the portion of the interest
rate swap determined to be ineffective will be recognized as gain or loss in the
statement of operations in the period.
NOTE 8
The Company sold certain accounts receivable to an independent financial
institution, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SMP Credit Corp., a qualifying
special-purpose corporation. In May 1999 SMP Credit Corp. entered into a three
year agreement whereby it could sell up to a $25 million undivided ownership
interest in a designated pool of certain of these eligible receivables. This
agreement was terminated in the second quarter of 2001 as part of the new credit
facility described in Note 6. These sales were reflected as reductions of trade
accounts receivable and the related fees and discounting expense were recorded
as other expense.
NOTE 9
Total comprehensive income (loss) was $6,885,000 and $213,000 for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and
$(10,560,000) and $(107,000) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
NOTE 10
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, 42,840 stock options were
exercised. At June 30, 2002, an aggregate of 1,277,440 shares of authorized but
unissued common stock were reserved for issuance under the Company's stock
option plans, of which 923,695 shares were subject to outstanding options.
751,039 shares of these outstanding options were vested at June 30, 2002.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 14
On January 28, 2000, a former significant customer of the Company which is
currently undergoing a Chapter 7 liquidation in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, filed
claims against a number of its former suppliers, including the Company. The
claim against the Company alleges $0.5 million (formerly $19.8 million) of
preferential payments in the 90 days prior to the related Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition. In addition, this former customer seeks $10.5 million from the Company
for a variety of claims including antitrust, breach of contract, breach of
warranty and conversion. These latter claims arise out of allegations that this
customer was entitled to various discounts, rebates and credits after it filed
for bankruptcy. The Company has purchased insurance with respect to the actions.
The claim pertaining to the preferential payments was settled for an immaterial
amount during the second quarter of 2002. The Company believes that these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.
The Company is involved in various other litigation and product liability
matters arising in the ordinary course of business. One of the product liability
matters involves a former Brake business of the Company. In 1986, the Company
acquired this business resulting in the assumption by the Company of certain
future liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing
products manufactured by the seller. In accordance with the related purchase
agreement, the Company agreed to assume the liabilities for all new claims filed
fifteen years or more after the date of the purchase. The ultimate exposure to
the Company will depend upon the extent to which future claims are filed and the
amounts paid for indemnity and defense. At June 30, 2002, approximately 500
cases were outstanding whereby the Company is now responsible for any related
liabilities. Although the final outcome of these matters or any other litigation
or product liability matter cannot be determined, based on the Company's
understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, it is
management's opinion that the final outcome of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements taken as a whole.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ---------------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------------
This Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this report are indicated by words such as
"anticipates," "expects," "believes," "intends," "plans," "estimates,"
"projects" and similar expressions. These statements represent our expectations
based on current information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those which are anticipated or projected as a result of certain
risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to a number of factors,
including economic and market conditions; the performance of the aftermarket
sector; changes in business relationships with our major customers and in the
timing, size and continuation of our customers' programs; the ability of our
customers to achieve their projected sales; competitive product and pricing
pressures; increases in production or material costs that cannot be recouped in
product pricing; successful integration of acquired businesses; as well as other
risks and uncertainties, such as those described under Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and those detailed herein and from
time to time in the filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Those forward-looking statements are made only as of the date
hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto,
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
During the first six months of 2002, cash used in operations amounted to $26.3
million, as compared to $58.6 million in the same period of 2001. The decrease
is primarily attributable to lower accounts receivable as a result of the
decline in net sales and an increase in accounts payable.
Cash used in investing activities was $21.5 million in the first six months of
2002, as compared to $9.8 million in the same period of 2001. The increase is
primarily due to acquisitions, partially offset by decreases in capital
expenditures. Assets acquired consist primarily of property, plant and
equipment, receivables and inventory. All acquisitions were financed with funds
provided under the Company's revolving credit facility.
In January 2002, the Company acquired the assets of a Temperature Control
business from Hartle Industries for $4.8 million. The assets consist primarily
of property, plant and equipment, and inventory. In April 2002, the Company
acquired Carol Cable Limited, a manufacturer and distributor of wire sets, based
in England, for $1.7 million. Assets consist primarily of property, plant and
equipment, and inventory. In May 2002, the Company purchased the aftermarket
fuel injector business of Sagem Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson Controls, for
$10.5 million. Sagem Inc. is a basic manufacturer of fuel injectors, and was the
primary supplier to the Company prior to its acquisition. Assets acquired
consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, and inventory. The purchase
was partially financed by the seller ($5.4 million to be paid over a two year
period), with the remaining funds being provided under the Company's revolving
credit facility.
Cash provided by financing activities was $43.1 million in the first six months
of 2002, as compared to $63.9 million in the same period of 2001. The decreased
borrowings reflect the Company's focus on reducing capital employed in the
business.
Effective April 27, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with GE Capital
Corp. and a syndicate of lenders for a new secured revolving credit facility.
The former unsecured revolving credit facility was set to expire on November 30,
2001. The term of the new credit agreement is for a period of five years and
provides for a line of credit up to $225 million. The initial proceeds have been
used to refinance approximately $97 million of the outstanding indebtedness
under the Company's former bank line of credit, a 7.56% senior note of $52
million, a $25 million accounts receivable sale arrangement and the Canadian
Credit Facility of $5 million. The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of
approximately $2.8 million, net of taxes, in the second quarter of 2001, for a
prepayment penalty and write-off of unamortized fees for the retirement of the
above related debt. Availability under the new credit facility is based on a
formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible fixed
assets.
Direct borrowings bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the applicable margin (as
defined) or the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable margin (as defined), at the
option of the Company. Borrowings are collateralized by accounts receivable,
inventory and fixed assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The terms of the
new revolving credit facility contain, among other provisions, requirements of
maintaining defined levels of tangible net worth and specific limitations or
restrictions on additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, liens and
acquisitions.
The Company's profitability and its working capital requirements have become
more seasonal with the sales mix of temperature control products. Working
capital requirements usually peak near the end of the second quarter, as the
inventory build-up of air conditioning products is converted to sales and
payments on the receivables associated with such sales begin to be received.
These increased working capital requirements are funded by borrowings from our
revolving credit facility. The Company anticipates that its present sources of
funds will continue to be adequate to meet its near term needs.
13
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------
During the years 1998 through 2000, the Board of Directors authorized multiple
repurchase programs under which the Company could repurchase shares of its
common stock. During such years, $26.7 million (in the aggregate) of common
stock was repurchased to meet present and future requirements of the Company's
stock option programs and to fund the Company's ESOP. As of June 30, 2002, the
Company has Board authorization to repurchase additional shares at a maximum
cost of $1.7 million. During the first six months of 2002 and 2001, the Company
did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.
INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------
COMPARISON OF THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE
- ----------------------------------------------------------
THREE-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- --------------------------------
On a consolidated basis, net sales in the second quarter of 2002 were $179.3
million, as compared to $181.9 million in the second quarter of 2001. The sales
shortfall was attributable to decreased sales of Temperature Control products,
which were partially offset by sales increases in Engine Management products.
Temperature Control net sales were down $12.5 million due to a combination of a
loss of a few locations at a major retailer and a continued reduction of
distributor inventories, as those distributors work off inventory left over from
previous mild summer seasons. Engine Management net sales recovered in the
second quarter, with new business orders increasing net sales by $8.7 million
over the comparable period in 2001.
Reported gross margins as a percentage of net sales, improved 3.1 percentage
points to 25.4% in the second quarter of 2002 from 22.3% in the comparable
quarter of 2001. The improvement in gross margins is primarily the result of
price increases and higher production levels. Gross margins should continue to
improve as production levels are more closely aligned to shipping levels as
compared to the significant inventory reduction program in 2001.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
(SFAS No. 142). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be
amortized, but instead, will be subject to an annual review for potential
impairment. The adoption of the new accounting standard eliminated goodwill
amortization expense of $0.6 million after tax for the second quarter of 2002.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $34.2 million in the
second quarter of 2002, as compared to $32.1 million in the second quarter of
2001. The increase is attributable to insurance, product liability and employee
benefit costs.
Operating income increased by $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2002, as
compared to the second quarter of 2001, primarily due to improvements in gross
margins, as discussed above.
Interest expense decreased by $1.2 million in the second quarter 2002 as
compared to the same period in 2001, due to lower average borrowings and lower
interest rates.
The effective tax rate decreased from 32% in the second quarter of 2001 to 28%
in second quarter of 2002, due to a decrease in earnings from the Company's
domestic subsidiaries. The 28% current effective tax rate reflects the Company's
anticipated tax rate for the balance of the year.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE
- --------------------------------------------------------
SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- ------------------------------
On a consolidated basis, net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002
were $305.4 million, a decrease of $30.5 million, or 9.1%, as compared to the
same period in 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from the sales shortfall in
Temperature Control from earlier in the year, partially offset by improvements
in sales in Engine Management, as previously discussed.
Gross margins, as a percentage of net sales, increased 1.9 percentage points to
25.0% for the six-months ended June 30, 2002 from 23.1% in the same period of
2001. The improvement in gross margins reflects the return to more normal
production levels as the aggressive and successful inventory reduction campaign
in 2001 is now benefiting 2002.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $65.3 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $64.6 million in the same
period of 2001. The increase is attributable to insurance, product liability and
employee benefit costs.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
(SFAS No. 142). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be
amortized, but instead, will be subject to an annual review for potential
impairment. Using the discounted cash flows method, based on the Company's
weighted average cost of capital and market multiples, the Company reviewed the
fair values of each of its reporting units. The recent decline in economic and
market conditions, higher integration costs than anticipated and the general
softness in the automotive aftermarket has caused a decrease in the fair values
of certain of the Company's reporting units. As a result, the Company recorded
an impairment loss on goodwill as a cumulative effect of accounting change of
$16 million, net of tax, or $1.35 per diluted share during the first quarter of
2002. The impairment loss relates to goodwill pertaining to certain of the
Company's reporting units within its European Operations (classified as "All
Other") for segment reporting and within its Temperature Control Segment and
recorded charges of $8.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The adoption of
the new accounting standard eliminated goodwill amortization expense of $1.2
million after tax for the first six months of 2002.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE SIX-MONTHS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------
Operating income decreased by $2.0 million for the six-month period ended June
30, 2002, as compared to the same period of 2001, primarily due to the lower net
sales, as discussed above.
Interest expense decreased $1.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2002 as compared to the same period in 2001, due to lower average borrowings and
lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate decreased from 32% for the first six-months of 2001 to
28% for the first six-months of 2002, due to a decrease in earnings from the
Company's domestic subsidiaries. The 28.0% current effective tax rate reflects
the Company's anticipated tax rate for the balance of the year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ----------------------------
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and
the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated
risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed
throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected
financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and
other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001. Note that our preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. We derive our revenue primarily from sales of replacement
parts for motor vehicles, from both our Engine Management and Temperature
Control Divisions. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon
shipment to customers. As described below, significant management judgments and
estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any
accounting period.
SALES RETURNS AND OTHER ALLOWANCES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. The
preparation of financial statements requires our management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Specifically, our management must make estimates of potential future product
returns related to current period product revenue. Management analyzes
historical returns, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand when
evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns and other allowances. Significant
management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with
establishing the sales returns and other allowances in any accounting period.
Similarly, our management must make estimates of the uncollectability of our
accounts receivables. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and
analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer
credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment
terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. As part of the process of preparing our
consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes
in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us
estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary
differences resulting from differing treatment of items, for tax and accounting
purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which
are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the
likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable
income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must
establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation
allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense
within the tax provision in the statement of operations.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for
income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation
allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. At June 30, 2002, the
Company has a valuation allowance of $14.2 million, due to uncertainties related
to our ability to utilize some of our deferred tax assets. The valuation
allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which
we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be
recoverable.
In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these
estimates in future periods we may need to establish an additional valuation
allowance which could materially impact our financial position and results of
operations.
15
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL. We assess the
impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment
review include the following: significant underperformance relative to expected
historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the
manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall
business and significant negative industry or economic trends.
OTHER LOSS RESERVES. We have numerous other loss exposures, such as
environmental claims, product liability (including asbestos matters) and
litigation. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires the use of
estimates and judgment in regards to risk exposure and ultimate liability. We
estimate losses using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes to
our assumptions could materially affect our recorded liabilities for loss.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development
and (or) normal use of the asset.
Statement No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a
reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability
is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional
carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is
accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the
obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the
Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement.
The Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 143
for the quarter ending March 31, 2003. To accomplish this, the Company must
identify all legal obligations for asset retirement obligations, if any, and
determine the fair value of these obligations on the date of adoption. The
determination of fair value is complex and will require the Company to gather
market information and develop cash flow models. Additionally, the Company will
be required to develop processes to track and monitor these obligations. Because
of the effort necessary to comply with the adoption of Statement No. 143, it is
not practicable for management to estimate the impact of adopting this Statement
at the date of this report.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This
statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future
cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Additionally,
this standard broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include
components of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of the business.
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 144 as of January 1, 2002.
The adoption had no effect on the Company's financial statements.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections".
This statement eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on
extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and requires that such
gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of
Accounting Principles Board No. 30 "Reporting Results of Operations". This
statement also requires sales-leaseback accounting for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sales leaseback
transactions, and makes various other technical corrections to existing
pronouncements. This statement will be effective for the year ending December
31, 2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associates
with Exit or Disposal Activities. Statement 146, which is effective
prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002,
applies to costs associated with an exit activity, including restructurings, or
with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can include eliminating
or reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts and relocating
plant facilities or personnel. Statement 146 requires that exit or disposal
costs are recorded as an operating expense when the liability is incurred and
can be measured at fair value. Commitment to an exit plan or a plan of disposal
by itself will not meet the requirement for recognizing a liability and the
related expense under Statement 146. Statement 146 grandfathers the accounting
for liabilities that were previously recorded under EITF Issue 94-3.
Accordingly, Statement 146 will have no effect on the restructuring costs
recorded or expected to be recorded by the Company in the second and third
quarters of 2002.
16
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency
exchange and interest rates. These exposures are actively monitored by
management. The Company has exchange rate exposure primarily with respect to the
Canadian Dollar and the British Pound. The Company's exposure to foreign
exchange rate risk is due to certain costs, revenues and borrowings being
denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary's functional currency.
Similarly, the Company is exposed to market risk as the result of changes in
interest rates which may affect the cost of its financing. It is the Company's
policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent
necessary to manage exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through the proportion of
fixed rate debt and variable rate debt in its debt portfolio. To manage a
portion of its exposure to interest rate changes, the Company has entered into
interest rate swap agreements, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Unaudited). The Company invests its excess cash in highly liquid
short-term investments. As a result of the Company's refinancing agreement
during the second quarter of 2001, as described in Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), the Company's percentage of
variable rate debt to total debt is 56% at December 31, 2001 and 62% at June 30,
2002.
Other than the aforementioned, there have been no significant changes to the
information presented in Item 7A (Market Risk) of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
17
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------------------------
On January 28, 2000, a former significant customer of the Company which is
currently undergoing a Chapter 7 liquidation in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, filed
claims against a number of its former suppliers, including the Company. The
claim against the Company alleges $0.5 million (formerly $19.8 million) of
preferential payments in the 90 days prior to the related Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition. In addition, this former customer seeks $10.5 million from the Company
for a variety of claims including antitrust, breach of contract, breach of
warranty and conversion. These latter claims arise out of allegations that this
customer was entitled to various discounts, rebates and credits after it filed
for bankruptcy. The Company has purchased insurance with respect to the actions.
The claim pertaining to the preferential payments was settled for an immaterial
amount during the second quarter of 2002. The Company believes that these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.
The Company is involved in various other litigation and product liability
matters arising in the ordinary course of business. One of the product liability
matters involves a former Brake business of the Company. In 1986, the Company
acquired this business resulting in the assumption by the Company of certain
future liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing
products manufactured by the seller. In accordance with the related purchase
agreement, the Company agreed to assume the liabilities for all new claims filed
fifteen years or more after the date of the purchase. The ultimate exposure to
the Company will depend upon the extent to which future claims are filed and the
amounts paid for indemnity and defense. At June 30, 2002, approximately 500
cases were outstanding whereby the Company is now responsible for any related
liabilities. Although the final outcome of these matters or any other litigation
or product liability matter cannot be determined, based on the Company's
understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, it is
management's opinion that the final outcome of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements taken as a whole.
