RIVIERA TOOL COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2004

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements (the "Financial
Statements") of Riviera Tool Company (the "Company") have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all the
information and footnotes normally included in the annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

In the opinion of management, the Financial Statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
such information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K dated
December 27, 2004, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.

The Company's financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. During fiscal 2004, the Company sustained both a
significant loss from operations as well as net loss. This loss resulted in an
accumulated deficit. Further, the Company was not in compliance with the
covenants of its long-term loan agreement causing the Company's debt to be
classified as current in the financial statements. The Company currently has an
extension of such agreement until March 15, 2005. These factors, among other
things, raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company believes that the revolving line of credit and the funds generated
from operations, will be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs through
fiscal 2005. However, depending on Company's primary lenders willingness to
extend the due date of the facility as well as the level of future sales, terms
of such sales, financial performance and cash flow of existing contracts, such
financing may not be sufficient to support operations. Therefore, the Company
may be required to seek additional sources of funding.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2004 may
not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment if changes in circumstances
or the occurrence of events suggest the remaining value may not be recoverable.
An asset is deemed impaired and written down to its fair value if estimated
related total future undiscounted cash flows are less than its book (carrying)
value. The Company, in performing its evaluation of long-lived assets for
impairment, utilized financial projections for five future years including total
undiscounted cash flow. In developing the projections, the Company estimated
revenues for each year and estimated resulting margins based upon various
assumptions including future market pricing trends and historical financial
costs. The analysis concluded that the estimated total undiscounted future cash
flows were in excess of the carrying value of long-lived assets. Had the
analysis concluded that the total undiscounted future cash flows been below the
carrying value, an impairment charge of the difference between the carrying
value and the lower of the total discounted cash flows or fair value would have
been recorded.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2004 may
not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment if changes in
circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest the remaining value may not be
recoverable. An asset is deemed impaired and written down to its fair value if
estimated related total future undiscounted cash flows are less than its book
(carrying) value. The Company, in performing its evaluation of long-lived assets

value and the lower of the total discounted cash flows or fair value would have
been recorded.


COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
NOVEMBER 30, 2003.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2004 totaled $4.6
million as compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended November 30,
2003, a decrease of $3.7 million or 45%. This decrease was a result of the
Company concluding two significant tooling programs during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The customers for these
programs were Tier One suppliers to a European automaker.

All the dies for these two programs were completed and shipped by the end of the
first quarter of 2005. Upon completion and finalization of all costs related to
the manufacture of these dies, these two programs totaled approximately $46
million in revenue with a resulting net loss of $4 million.

The Company's backlog of awarded contracts, which are all believed to be firm,
was approximately $4.6 million and $22.1 million as of November 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. Subsequent to November 30, 2004, the Company received an
additional $4.9 million in new orders, which are not reflected in the November
30, 2004 backlog amount. The Company expects all backlog contracts will be
reflected in sales during fiscal years ending August 31, 2005 and 2006.


COST OF SALES - Cost of goods sold decreased from $7.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 to $4.0 million for 2005 and, as a percent of sales,
decreased from 89.8% for 2004 to 88.7% for 2005. Direct costs (materials and
labor) decreased by $3.2 million, from $5.1 million for 2004 to $1.9 million for
2005. Engineering expense decreased by $205,000 from $661,000 for 2004 to
$456,000 for 2005. Lastly, of the cost of goods sold,



10


manufacturing overhead decreased by $56,000 from $1.71 million for 2004 to $1.66
million for 2005. Additional details of these changes in cost of sales for the
first quarters of fiscal 2004 and 2005 are as follows:

- Direct materials expense decreased from $1.1 million for 2004 to $0.4
million for 2005 and decreased as a percent of sales from 13.4% to 8.8%.
This decrease was largely due to lower contract volume requirements and
backlog mix during 2005 as compared to 2004. Outside services expense
decreased from $2.4 million for 2004 to $259,000 for 2005 and as a
percent of sales from 28.8% to 5.6%. This decrease was largely due to
the Company incurring expense related to its outsourced revenue during
the first quarter of 2004. The balance of the outside services expense
decrease was due to lower sales volumes and corresponding decreases in
outsourcing certain machining, die patterns, laser cutting, heat treat
and outside design services.

- Direct labor expense decreased from $1.6 million for 2004 to $1.3
million for 2005. However, as a percent of sales, direct labor increased
from 18.9% to 27.7%. This change was a result of the Company incurring a
19% decrease in direct labor hours, from 75,000 hours in 2004 to 61,000
in 2005. Of the total direct labor expense, regular or straight time
decreased by $263,000 however as a percent of sales, increased from
12.7% for 2004 to 17.5% for 2005 due to decreased sales volume. Overtime
expense decreased from $515,000 for 2004 to $467,000 for 2005, however
as a percent of sales, increased from 6.2% for 2004 to 10.2% for 2005.

- Engineering expense decreased from $660,000, 7.9% of sales, for 2004
to $456,000, 10.0% of sales, for 2005. This decrease was due to the
Company's decrease in awarded contracts and the resulting decrease in
the number of engineering personnel necessary to fulfill the design and
project management portions of the Company's current contract backlog.

- Manufacturing overhead was $1.66 million or 36.5% of sales for 2005 as
compared to $1.71 million or 20.6% of sales for 2004. During 2005,
decreases in manufacturing overhead were largely due to a $71,000
decrease in indirect labor and payroll tax expense, a $28,000 decrease
in medical insurance premiums and a $17,000 decrease in building rent
expense. These decreases were offset by increases of $42,000 in
machinery repair and maintenance and $34,000 in perishable tooling
expense. The increase of approximately 15.9% of manufacturing overhead,
as a percent of sales, was largely due to lower overhead absorption from
the decrease in sales volumes.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling and administrative expense increased
from $403,000 for the first quarter of 2004 to $579,000 for 2005. As a percent
of sales, selling and administrative expense increased from 4.8% for 2004 to
12.7% for 2005 due to the lower sales volume. The largest selling and
administrative expense increases included $60,000 in travel expenses, $49,000 in
legal and professional expenses, $34,000 in salaries and wages and $16,000 in
public company costs.


INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased from $209,000 for 2004 to $393,000
for 2005. This increase was largely due to the Company's increased debt levels
during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004. These increases include
$3.0 million of subordinated debt issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
In addition, the interest rates on the revolver and certain term debt increased
during the first quarter of fiscal 2005.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended November 30, 2004, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of approximately $158,000 to offset the income tax benefit. For the
three months ended November 30, 2003, the Company recorded a reduction in the
valuation allowance of approximately $81,000 to offset the income tax expense.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended November 30, 2004, the Company's cash provided by
operating activities was $2.0 million. This largely resulted from a decrease of
$3.7 million in account receivables, a $807,000 increase in contracts in process
and a $993,000 decrease in accounts payable. From investing activities, the
Company incurred

an increase in other assets (cash surrender value of life insurance policies) of
$20,000 and $230,000 in additions to property, plant and equipment. The Company
used $748,000 to reduce the revolving line of credit and $162,000 to reduce
other debt.

The Company's total bank debt as of November 30, 2004, is $14.8 million, all of
which is classified as short-term debt. As of November 30, 2004, the Company was
in default of its loan covenants with its lenders. As a result the Company has
negotiated a $5.0 million Revolving Line of Credit until January 28, 2005,
thereafter such amount reduces to $4.0 million. The Revolving Line of Credit has
a balance outstanding of approximately $4.6 million ,as of January 3, 2005. The
Company also has term notes with an aggregate outstanding balance of $1,716,971,
expiring March 15, 2005. The Revolving Line of Credit bears interest at the
bank's prime rate plus 4.0 percent (an effective rate of 9.0% at November 30,
2004) and the term notes bears interest at bank's prime rate plus 4.25 percent
(an effective rate of 9.25% at November 30, 2004). The Company also has two
subordinated debt notes payable totaling $4,008,124 which includes $1,008,124
bearing interest at 11% and $3,000,000 bearing interest at 14% plus deferred
interest of 6%.

The Company believes that the revolving line of credit and the funds generated
from operations, will be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs through
fiscal 2005. However, depending on the Company's primary lenders willingness to
extend the due date of the facility as well as the level of future sales, terms
of such sales, financial performance and cash flow of existing contracts, such
financing may not be sufficient to support operations. Therefore, the Company
may be required to seek additional sources of funding.
