FEDERAL SCREW WORKS
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial reporting. Application of these accounting principles
requires the Company's management to make estimates about the future resolution
of existing uncertainties. As a result, actual results could differ from these
estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best
estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial
statements, giving due regard to materiality. The Company does not believe there
is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under
different conditions or using different assumptions pertaining to the accounting
policies described below. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.



NOTE B - DEBT

On October 17, 2003, Comerica Bank approved a one year extension of the
Company's $25,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Under the
agreement the Company has the option to convert borrowings thereunder
(classified as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 2006, the
expiration date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if the
conversion option is exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend to
October 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2003, there was $8,880,000 in outstanding
borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.



NOTE C - DIVIDENDS

Cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the
respective dates of declaration. The Board of Directors, in February, 2003,
declared a 5 for 4 split of the common stock of the Company to be distributed
April 1, 2003, to shareholders of record March 3, 2003. The stock split resulted
in the distribution of one share of common stock for each four shares of common
stock held on the record date.

The stock split has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.

NOTE D - INVESTMENTS

The Company has invested approximately $3,549,000 and $3,532,000 as of September
30, 2003, and June 30, 2003, respectively, which has been designated for payment
of certain liabilities related to deferred compensation plans. These amounts
were recorded in miscellaneous assets within the balance sheets. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FASB 115") the
Company has classified all investments as "available-for-sale" because they are
freely tradable. The Company recorded a decrease in unrealized loss of $8,000,
net of tax, for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, from its
investments, which is reflected in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Loss.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's first quarter ended September
30, 2003, decreased $2,793,000, or (12.1%), compared with net sales for the
first quarter of the prior year. The decrease is attributable to decreased
demand from U.S. based automobile manufacturers due to their decreased
production during the period. The Company's customers are primarily U.S. based
automobile manufacturers and their suppliers.

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, decreased
$703,000, or (29.8%), as compared with the first quarter of the prior year. The
decrease is attributable to the decrease in net sales, resulting from a decrease
in North American automotive sales and production.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $15,000, or 1.0%, for the first
quarter ended September 30, 2003, as compared with the first quarter of the
prior year. The increase is attributable to the increase in the cost of
insurance and related expenses.

Other expenses decreased $14,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
2003, as compared with the first quarter of the prior year.

The Company is dependent upon sales to the two largest U.S. based automobile
manufacturers, a condition that has existed for over fifty years. Although the
Company has purchase orders from such customers, such purchase orders generally
provide for supplying the customer's requirements for a particular model or
model year rather than for manufacturing a specific quantity of products. The
loss of any one of such customers or significant purchase orders could have a
material



- 7 -





adverse effect on the Company. These customers are also able to exert
considerable pressure on component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality
and provide additional design and engineering capabilities. There can be no
assurance that the additional costs of increased quality standards, price
reductions or additional capabilities required by such customers will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.


DIVIDENDS: The Board of Directors, in August 2003, declared a $.10 per share
quarterly dividend, and an extra $.30 per share dividend, both payable October
1, 2003, to shareholders of record September 5, 2003.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Working capital increased by $3,110,000 from
$18,904,000 at June 30, 2003, to $22,014,000 at September 30, 2003. The increase
is attributable to the reduction in payroll and employee benefits resulting from
payments made under the Company's bonus and profit sharing programs for the
prior year, and a reduction in the current year accruals.

At September 30, 2003, the Company had available $16,120,000 under its bank
credit agreement. As of that date, the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants under its bank credit agreement.

Capital expenditures for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, were
approximately $1.2 million, and, for the year, are expected to approximate $5.6
million, of which approximately $5.3 million has been committed as of September
30, 2003.

The Company's management has determined that a material loss resulting from
environmental matters is not reasonably possible.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: Certain information in this Form 10-Q contains
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, including with respect
to expectations for future periods which are subject to various uncertainties,
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward
looking statements, including but not limited to increased competition; the loss
of, or reduction in business with, the Company's principal customers; the impact
of additional costs of increased quality standards, price reductions or
additional capabilities required by the Company's principal customers; changes
in expected capital expenditures; work stoppages, strikes and slowdowns at the
Company's facilities and those of its customers; adverse changes in economic
conditions generally and those of the automotive industry, specifically.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's market risk is limited to interest rate risk on its revolving
credit and term loan agreement. At September 30, 2003, the carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
debt and investments approximate fair value. Accordingly, management believes
this risk is not material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the



- 8 -




Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September
30, 2003, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to
be disclosed in the Company's periodic SEC reports. There have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company
carried out its evaluation.
