TRANSPRO, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001 including the financial statements and notes thereto
included therein.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position,
consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows have been
included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current
year presentations.
NOTE 2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
comprehensive income (loss) was comprised of the reported net income (loss) for
the period of $1.5 million and $0.6 million in 2002 and $(2.8) million and
$(6.4) million in 2001, respectively.
NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company implemented a
restructuring program designed around its business initiatives to improve
operating performance. The program, which is expected to continue through 2002,
includes the redesign of our distribution system, headcount reductions, the
transfer of production between manufacturing facilities, a review of
manufacturing locations and a reevaluation of our product offerings.
As a part of the program, the Company recorded restructuring and other
special charges of $0.2 million during the first half of 2002. A summary of this
charge is as follows:
BALANCE REMAINING AT CHARGE (CREDIT) CASH (PAYMENTS) BALANCE REMAINING AT
DECEMBER 31, 2001 TO OPERATIONS RECEIPTS JUNE 30, 2002
-------------------- --------------- --------------- --------------------
Workforce related $397 $201 $(313) $285
Asset disposal -- (100) 100 --
Facility consolidations 237 82 (149) 170
---- ---- ----- ----
Total $634 $183 $(362) $455
==== ==== ===== ====
The workforce-related charge reflects the elimination of 119 salaried
and hourly positions within the Heavy Duty and Auto and Light Truck segments
during 2001, and earned stay-pay bonuses within the Heavy Duty Segment in 2002.
Cash payments are expected to continue through the first quarter of 2003.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company received proceeds of
$0.1 million from the sale of assets which had been written off during the
fourth quarter of 2001 in connection with the closure of a California
manufacturing facility.
The facility consolidation charges represent inventory and machinery
movement, lease termination and facility exit expenses associated with the
closure of nine, including one during 2002, Aftermarket
6
segment branch facilities as part of the redesign of the Company's distribution
system. Cash payments are expected to continue through 2002 as a result of costs
associated with idle facilities.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which requires that goodwill and certain other
intangible assets having indefinite lives no longer be amortized to earnings,
but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets
determined to have definitive lives will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. As this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, the Company has adopted SFAS 142 in the first quarter of
2002. As a result of applying the tests included in SFAS 142, the Company has
determined that there was a transitional impairment loss as the carrying value
of the goodwill recorded by its Auto and Light Truck segment exceeds the fair
value of the business, based on an allocation of the quoted market price of the
Company's common stock. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting
principle, in the amount of $4.7 million, has been expensed in the consolidated
results of operations in the first quarter of 2002. This write-off has no impact
on cash flow from operations. In the second quarter of 2001, goodwill
amortization was $0.1 million before and $.06 million after tax, while for the
first six months of 2001, goodwill amortization was $0.2 million, or $0.1
million after tax. Loss per share before the cumulative effect of accounting
change and extraordinary item for the second quarter and first six months of
2001, basic and diluted, would have been $(0.43) and $(0.91) respectively,
excluding this amortization. The net loss per share, basic and diluted, for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 would have been $(0.43) and
$(0.97), respectively, excluding the amortization of goodwill.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), which provides the accounting requirements
for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. This
Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. This Statement is
effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 143 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which excludes from
the definition of long-lived assets goodwill and other intangibles that are not
amortized in accordance with SFAS 142. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets
to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cost to dispose, whether reported in continuing operations or in
discontinued operations. SFAS 144 also expands the reporting of discontinued
operations to include components of an entity that have been or will be disposed
of rather than limiting such discontinuance to a segment of a business.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, which did not have any
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.
In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" was
issued. This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and
losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain
specified lease transactions. The adoption of this statement will not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146") was issued. This statement provides
guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with
disposal activities and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The
Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 146 to determine the
standard's impact upon adoption.

The weighted average basic common shares outstanding was used in the
calculation of the diluted loss per common share for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001 as the use of weighted average diluted common shares
outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share from operations
for the period.
Certain options to purchase common stock were outstanding during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, but were not included in the
computation of diluted loss per share because their exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of common shares for the period. The anti-dilutive
options outstanding and their exercise prices are as follows:

NOTE 6 - BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
Early in 2002, the Company was reorganized into two strategic business
groups based on the type of customer served -- Automotive and Light Truck, and
Heavy Duty. The Automotive and Light Truck Group is comprised of a heat exchange
unit and a temperature control products unit, both serving the aftermarket. The
Heavy Duty Group consists of an OEM and Aftermarket unit, both serving the heavy
duty marketplace. This new structure is designed to improve customer focus.
Prior year results have been restated to reflect this new structure.
The table below sets forth information about the reported segments:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Net sales increased 12.8% to $62.5 million in the second quarter of
2002, compared with $55.4 million in the same period a year ago. Automotive and
Light Truck Group revenue increased 14.9% to $44.0 million from $38.3 million in
the second quarter of 2001. Heat Exchanger product sales were 7.5% above last
year primarily as a result of product line expansions by several of our major
customers and the start-up late in the quarter of a previously announced new
customer program. Revenue from the Temperature Control business unit was up
55.4% reflecting the addition of several new customers announced during the
first quarter. Heavy Duty Group revenue in the quarter increased 8.2% to $18.4
million from $17.0 million in the comparable period last year. Despite continued
market pressure, Heavy Duty OEM sales grew 7.8%, reflecting the impact of
actions taken in 2001 as well as some minor strengthening of customer volumes.
These higher volumes reflect customer purchases in anticipation of heavy truck
engine changes as a result of new emission regulations, which will become
effective in the fourth quarter of 2002. Heavy Duty Aftermarket sales increased
8.6% despite softness in all markets served by this unit.
Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 20.3% in the second quarter
of 2002, compared with 11.9% in the comparable period last year. Margins
benefited from the Company's multi-phased margin improvement activities which
began in the second quarter of 2001 and continue today. These include actions
within both the Automotive and Light Truck and Heavy Duty Groups designed to
improve labor efficiency and utilization, lower spending levels and reduce
product costs. While the results of these programs have taken time to work their
way through inventories, they are now beginning to be reflected in additional
profit. Margins also benefited from production levels more aligned with changes
in customer demand. A year ago production levels were lowered in order to reduce
inventory levels. Margins in the Heavy Duty Group also benefited from lower
warranty costs than were recorded a year ago. The higher claims incurred last
year were related to a customer warranty program, which had commenced during the
fourth quarter of 2000. Warranty claims have now returned to historical levels.
While operating expense levels declined $0.4 million or 3.6% from a
year ago, they were also lower as a percentage of sales, 15.9% versus 18.7% in
2001. These improvements primarily reflect benefits generated by the branch
closure actions taken in 2001. Expense levels last year also reflected higher
self-insured medical costs associated with the occurrence of several major
claims.
Restructuring charges during the quarter reflected stay pay bonus
provisions earned in the Heavy Duty segment and closing costs associated with
the consolidation of Automotive and Light Truck distribution centers. During the
period, $0.1 million was also received as proceeds from the sale of Automotive
and Light Truck assets which had been written off during the fourth quarter of
2001 in connection with the closure of a California manufacturing facility.
Operating income was $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 versus
an operating loss of $3.7 million in the comparable period last year, an
improvement of $6.3 million. The Automotive and Light Truck Group operating
income improved $2.9 million over 2001, resulting from increased sales and the
benefits of the initiative programs implemented during the second half of 2001.
The Heavy Duty Group reported operating income of $0.3 million versus an
operating loss of $2.9 million last year. Improved
10
factory utilization, lower warranty costs, cost reductions and price changes
accounted for the year-over-year improvement.
Interest costs are 28.9% below the second quarter last year due to
lower average debt levels and lower interest rates. During the second quarter of
2002, interest rates under our Loan Agreement and IRB were 6.25% and 1.48%
respectively, while a year ago they were 7.49% and 3.2% respectively.
The Company's effective income tax rate during the second quarter of
2002 was 10.3%, versus 42.4% last year, as the federal income tax provision was
offset by the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance on the Company's
deferred tax asset which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001. The income
tax benefit in 2001 included $0.6 million due to the settlement of an Internal
Revenue Service audit.
Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $1.5 million, or $0.21
per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.44
per basic and diluted share, a year ago. Excluding goodwill amortization in
2001, the net loss would have been $2.8 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted
share.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 12.2% over last
year's levels. Automotive and Light Truck Group sales were 17.4% above the year
ago period, reflecting the line expansions and new customer business that
impacted the second quarter as well as the initiation in the first quarter of
several major customer programs which had been postponed in the fourth quarter
of 2001. Heavy Duty Group sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were 1.3%
higher as the effect of pricing actions offset the impact of lower volume
experienced as a result of the sluggish heavy duty marketplace.
Gross margin for the first six months of 2002, as a percentage of
sales, increased to 19.6% from 11.9% a year ago. Improved margins within both
the Automotive and Light Truck and Heavy Duty Business Groups reflect the
results of the Company's initiative programs, higher levels of production and
lower warranty costs within the Heavy Duty Group.
Operating expenses declined 2.3% and were lower as a percentage of
sales than a year ago, 16.4% versus 18.8%. Lower expense levels primarily
reflect the impact of the Automotive and Light Truck branch closure actions
taken in 2001.
Interest costs were 29.5% lower than last year, reflecting lower
average debt levels and lower interest rates.
During March 2002, tax legislation was enacted which included a
provision that allows pre-tax losses incurred in 2001 and 2002 to be carried
back for a period of five years instead of two years. As a result, the Company
recorded a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2002 of $3.8 million, which
reflects a reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance. The first quarter
tax benefit, along with the $1.3 million refundable income tax at December 31,
2001, was received in cash during the second quarter of 2002.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which requires that goodwill and certain other
intangible assets having indefinite lives no longer be amortized to earnings,
but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets
determined to have definitive lives will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. As this statement was effective for years beginning after December
15, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002.
11
As a result of applying the tests included in SFAS 142, the Company has
determined that there was a transitional impairment loss relating to the
valuation of the goodwill recorded by its Auto and Light Truck Group. The
cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle of $4.7 million was
expensed in the consolidated results of operations in the first quarter of 2002.
This write-off has no impact on cash flow from operations. Goodwill amortization
for the second quarter and the first six months of 2001 was $0.1 million or
$0.06 million after tax and $0.2 million or $0.1 million after tax,
respectively.
Income before the cumulative effect of the accounting change and
extraordinary item was $5.3 million, or $0.75 per basic share ($0.74 per diluted
share), in 2002 compared to a loss of $6.1 million, or $0.93 per basic and
diluted share, in the comparable period in 2001. Net income for the first six
months of 2002 was $0.6 million, or $0.08 per basic share ($0.09 per diluted
share), while in the comparable period in 2001 the net loss was $6.4 million, or
$0.99 per basic and diluted share. Excluding the amortization of goodwill, loss
before the cumulative effect of accounting change and extraordinary item for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 would have been $5.9 million, or $0.91 per basic
and diluted share. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 would
have been $6.3 million, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, excluding this
charge.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first six months of 2002, operations used $5.2 million of
cash. Accounts receivable have grown by $24.0 million during the period due to
higher sales levels, extended terms on the new business, initial stocking orders
and an ongoing shift in receivables mix toward longer payment cycles with "blue
chip customers". Although past due balances as a percentage of total receivables
has declined from year-end, the Company expects that its days outstanding will
continue to be greater than our historic norms due to the previously mentioned
shift in payment cycles. Net inventories rose $1.5 million due to seasonal
stocking of various products in advance of the active summer selling season and
startup of new business programs. The inventory levels reflect the Company's
efforts to increase inventory turnover and manage balances closely with demand.
These outflows were partially offset by funds provided from operations and an
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the first six
months of 2001, operating activities used $2.3 million of cash. While the
Company's inventory reduction programs generated $10.9 million of cash during
the first half of 2001, this was more than offset by an increase in receivables
and funds utilized for operations as well as to improve the aging of accounts
payable.
Net capital expenditures were $3.4 million for the first half of 2002,
compared with $1.3 million last year. The higher level of expenditures this year
reflects the purchase of an existing aluminum tube mill that the Company will be
relocating to its Laredo, Texas facility during the third quarter, the purchase
of tooling at the Company's Mexican facility to accommodate the "in-house"
production of product previously purchased on the outside, and expenditures to
support the Company's information systems initiatives. Capital expenditures are
expected to approximate depreciation expense for the year.
Total debt at the end of the 2002 second quarter was $46.4 million,
$8.7 million above levels at the beginning of the year. These funds were
utilized to meet seasonal working capital needs. A year ago debt levels were
$48.4 million. At June 30, 2002, the Company had available $9.4 million for
future borrowings under its Loan Agreement with Congress Financial Corporation.
The Company's working capital requirements peak during the second and
third quarters, reflecting the normal seasonality of the Automotive and Light
Truck business. The Company believes that, together with borrowings under its
current Loan Agreement, its cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet
its anticipated ordinary capital expenditure and working capital requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. A
company's critical accounting policies, as set forth by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, are those which are most important to the portrayal of it's
financial condition and results of operation and often require the utilization
of estimates or subjective judgment. Based upon this definition, we have
identified the critical accounting policies addressed below. Although we believe
that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon
information presently available. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions. The Company also has other key
accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, which are further
described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", in Item 8 of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition. Sales are recognized at the time products are
shipped to the customer. Accruals for warranty costs, sales returns and
allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon historical experience
or agreements currently in place with customers. The Company will also accrue
for unusual warranty exposures at the time the exposure is identified and
quantifiable based upon analyses of expected product failure rates and
engineering cost estimates. The Company also establishes reserves for
uncollectible trade accounts receivable based upon historical experience,
anticipated business trends and the current economic conditions. Changes in our
customers' financial condition or other factors could cause our estimates of
uncollectible accounts receivable to vary.
Inventory Valuation. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market. This requires the Company to make
judgments about the likely method of disposition of its inventory and expected
recoverable value upon disposition. Inventories are reviewed on a continuing
basis, and provisions are also made for slow moving and obsolete inventory based
upon estimates of historical or expected usage as well as the expected
recoverable value upon disposition.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of a business unit's long
- -lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be
performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash
flows of the business unit, associated with the long-lived assets, would be
compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down is
required. If this review indicates that the assets will not be recoverable, the
carrying value of the Company's assets would be reduced to their estimated fair
value. The estimates used in determining whether an impairment exists involve
future cash flows of each business unit which are based upon expected revenue
trends, cost of production and operating expenses.
Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce
the carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that
those such assets will not be realized. Changes to the valuation allowance are
based on the evaluation of all available evidence supporting the Company's
ability to utilize tax benefits prior to their expiration.
Pension Plans. The Company establishes and periodically reviews the
assumptions used in the measurement of its retirement plans. The discount rate
will change in relation to increases or decreases in applicable published bond
indices. The return on assets reflects the long-term rate of return on plan
assets
13
expected to be realized over a five to ten year period. As such, it will
normally not be adjusted for short-term trends in the stock or bond markets. The
Company's pension assumptions currently include a 9% long-term annual rate of
return. Differences between actual and assumed portfolio performance are
actuarially calculated into the Company's accrued pension costs based upon input
from a third-party actuary. As the performance of the pension portfolio during
2001 was below the actuarial assumption, the unrecognized component of accrued
pension costs changed from a gain of $4.8 million at December 31, 2000 to a loss
of $1.3 million at December 31, 2001. In the future, changes in any of the
underlying pension assumptions, along with the ongoing performance of the plan
assets, will impact future funding requirements, minimum pension liability
adjustments and net pension cost amounts.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), which provides the accounting requirements
for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. This
statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. This statement is
effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 143 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which excludes from
the definition of long-lived assets goodwill and other intangibles that are not
amortized in accordance with SFAS 142. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets
to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cost to dispose, whether reported in continuing operations or in
discontinued operations. SFAS 144 also expands the reporting of discontinued
operations to include components of an entity that have been or will be disposed
of rather than limiting such discontinuance to a segment of a business.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, which did not have any
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.
In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" was
issued. This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and
losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain
specified lease transactions. The adoption of this statement will not have a
material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit
or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146") was issued. This statement provides
guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with
disposal activities and is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2003. The
Corporation is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 146 to determine the
standard's impact upon adoption.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS
Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature
are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain
detailed factors that could cause the Company's actual results to materially
differ from the forward-looking statements made by the Company. In particular,
statements relating to the future financial performance of the Company are
subject to business
14
conditions and growth in the general economy and automotive and truck business,
the impact of competitive products and pricing, changes in customer product mix,
failure to obtain new customers or retain old customers or changes in the
financial stability of customers, changes in the cost of raw materials,
components or finished products and changes in interest rates.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has certain exposures to market risk related to changes in
interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodities. There have been
no material changes in market risk since the filing of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
