CORE MOLDING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q and include all of the
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim reporting, which are less than those
required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of
which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Core Molding Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the
Company") at September 30, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash
flows. The "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", which are contained in
the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with these
Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to
prior year's amounts to conform to the classifications of such amounts for 2002.
Core Molding Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate in the
plastics market in a family of products known as "reinforced plastics".
Reinforced plastics are combinations of resins and reinforcing fibers (typically
glass or carbon) that are molded to shape. The Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South
Carolina facilities produce reinforced plastics by compression molding sheet
molding compound (SMC) in a closed mold process. The Matamoros, Mexico facility
produces reinforced plastic products by spray-up and hand-lay-up open mold
processes and vacuum assisted resin infused (VRIM) closed mold process.
2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per common share are computed similarly but include the effect
of the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method. In calculating
net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001, stock options had no effect on the weighted average shares for
the computation of diluted income (loss) per share and consequently basic and
diluted net income (loss) per share were the same.
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss) plus the
results of certain non-shareowners' equity changes not reflected in the
Statements of Operations. The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of
tax, are as follows:

4. ACQUISITION OF AIRSHIELD CORPORATION ASSETS
On October 16, 2001, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. purchased
substantially all of the assets, consisting primarily of inventory, accounts
receivable and manufacturing equipment, of Airshield Corporation, a privately
held manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced plastic parts for the truck and
automotive-aftermarket industries. Airshield was based in Brownsville, Texas,
with manufacturing operations in Matamoros, Mexico. Airshield had been operating
under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since March 2001. Core Molding
Technologies, Inc. has continued operations from Airshield's former
manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico.
The following (unaudited) pro forma consolidated results of operations
have been prepared as if the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
Airshield Corporation had occurred at the beginning of 2001.

nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. The effects of the
acquisition have been included in the consolidated statements of operations
since the acquisition date.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations". This statement improved the transparency of the accounting and
reporting for business combinations by requiring that all business combinations
be accounted for under a single method - the purchase method. This Statement was
effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airshield Corporation was
accounted for under SFAS No. 141.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No.142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets". This statement applies to intangibles and goodwill
acquired after June 30, 2001, as well as goodwill and intangibles previously
acquired. Under this statement goodwill as well as other intangibles determined
to have an infinite life are no longer amortized; however, these assets will be
reviewed for impairment periodically. Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the
Company does not amortize goodwill. The total net book value of goodwill at
September 30, 2002 was $1,097,433, and there was no goodwill recorded at
September 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have an impact on the
financial statements of the Company.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The adoption of this
statement, as of January 1, 2002, did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
As previously reported, FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections" in April 2002. It is effective for the first quarter in the year
ended December 31, 2003. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No.
145 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
7
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
included in restructurings. This Statement eliminates the definition and
requirements for recognition of exit costs as defined in EITF Issue 94-3, and
requires that liabilities for exit activities be recognized when incurred
instead of at the exit activity commitment date. This Statement is effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is
currently analyzing the impact of this statement and does not believe it will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
6. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR INFORMATION
In the current year, the Company has classified completed tooling
projects as revenue and cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.
Previously, the Company classified the net effect of tooling projects as a
miscellaneous gain (loss) in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Tooling projects are and have been accounted for under the completed contracts
method. For comparative purposes, amounts in prior years have been reclassified
to conform to current year presentations. Third quarter 2001 tooling revenue was
$53,000 and the associated cost of goods sold was $86,000. For the nine months
ending September 30, 2001 tooling revenue amounted to $2,472,000 and the
applicable costs of goods sold was $2,506,000. This change in classification had
no effect on previously reported net income (loss), cash flow or stockholders'
equity.
7. CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
On August 28, 2002, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. held a special
stockholders' meeting to approve the change of the company's name from Core
Materials Corporation to Core Molding Technologies, Inc. This item was approved
by the Company's shareholders, and effective August 28, 2002, the name was
officially changed.
Effective September 3, 2002, the Company changed its ticker symbol on
the American Stock Exchange from "CME" to "CMT". This change took place because
another corporation purchased the rights to use "CME" from the Company for
$500,000, which is included in other income in the statements of operations.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Certain statements under this caption constitute "forward-looking
statements" which involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual
results may differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to: business conditions in the plastics, transportation, recreation and
commercial product industries, the general economy, competitive factors, the
dependence on four major customers, the recent efforts of the Company to expand
its customer base, new technologies, regulatory requirements, labor relations,
the loss or inability to attract key personnel, the availability of capital, the
start up of new operations in Mexico and management's decisions to pursue new
products or businesses which involve additional costs, risks or capital
expenditures.
OVERVIEW
Core Molding Technologies, Inc. is a compounder of sheet molding
composite ("SMC") and molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company
produces high quality fiberglass reinforced molded products and SMC materials
for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, automobiles,
personal watercraft and other commercial products. The demand for the Company's
products is affected by economic conditions in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. Core Molding's manufacturing operations have a significant fixed cost
component. Accordingly, during periods of changing demands, the profitability of
Core Molding's operations may change proportionately more than revenues from
operations.
On December 31, 1996, Core Molding acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Columbus Plastics, a wholly owned
operating unit of International's truck manufacturing division since its
formation in late 1980. Columbus Plastics was a compounder and compression
molder of SMC. In October 2001, Core Molding acquired certain assets of
Airshield Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, Core Molding expanded
its fiberglass molding capabilities to include the spray up, hand-lay-up and
vacuum assisted resin infusion molding processes. The acquisition was accounted
for under the purchase accounting method and accordingly the effects of the
acquisition are included in the results of operations and financial condition of
Core Molding from the date of the acquisition and forward.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002, totaled $23,399,000
representing an approximate 61% increase from the $14,535,000 reported for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. Sales to International increased to
$13,261,000 from $7,630,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The
primary reasons for this increase were due to additional business with
International that was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition,
noted above; completed tooling projects; and increased demand from International
largely due to purchases made in anticipation of new heavy-duty truck emission
standards that went into effect on October 1, 2002. Because of these new
emission standards, demand for heavy-duty truck products is expected to be
affected in the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company also saw additions to sales
due to new business with Freightliner. Sales to Freightliner amounted to
$3,430,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. These sales were the
result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to Lear Corporation
decreased to $2,435,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002
9
compared to sales of $4,507,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
The primary reasons for this decrease were due to decreased demand for their
products and reductions in selling prices.
Sales to other customers for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
increased approximately 221% to $2,377,000 from $741,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to new business with
Paccar that generated sales of $705,000. These sales were a result of new
business awarded to the Company and from business obtained as a result of the
October 2001 acquisition, noted above. An additional $723,000 of sales to
various customers was added as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted
above.
Gross Margin was 14.1% of sales for the three months ended September 30,
2002, compared with 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in gross margin as a percent of sales from the prior year was due to a
combination of many factors including improvements in material costs, labor
efficiency, reduced energy costs and repairs and maintenance costs at the
Company's Columbus, Ohio facility. This increase in gross margin was partially
offset by reduced margins at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility
primarily due to selling price reductions to Lear Corporation, as noted above.
Gross margins from the newly established operations resulting from the
acquisition noted above were generally in line with the Company's historical
business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") totaled $2,455,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2002, increasing from $1,836,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase from 2001 was primarily due
to the additional costs added as a result of the acquisition of the Mexican
operation.
Other income totaled $500,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
This income was earned from the sale of the Company's ticker symbol, as noted
above.
Interest expense totaled $509,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2002, increasing slightly from $505,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. Interest rates experienced by the Company with respect to the industrial
revenue bond were favorable; however, due to the interest rate swap the Company
entered into, the interest rate is essentially fixed for this debt instrument.
Interest income totaled $35,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
decreasing from $64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 primarily
due to a decrease in the interest rate earned on investments.
Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2002, are estimated to
be approximately 45% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be
lower than the recorded expenses as the Company has substantial federal tax loss
carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax asset.
As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax
payments, the Company reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording a
reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related to
income earned for the three months ended September 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately $269,000 which reflects Federal alternative minimum, state and
local taxes.
Net income/(loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2002, was
$485,000 or $.05 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $1,271,000 over the
net income/(loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2001, of ($786,000)
or ($.08) per basic and diluted share.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, totaled $71,077,000
representing an approximate 32.8% increase from the $53,512,000 reported for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001. Sales to International increased to
$35,584,000 from $29,148,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
primary reason for the increase was due to additional business with
International that was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition,
noted above. The Company also saw an addition to sales of $7,800,000 due to new
business with Freightliner. This new business was a result of the October 2001
acquisition, noted above. Sales to Lear decreased to $6,515,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 from $7,562,000 for the same period a year ago.
The primary reason for the decrease was due to the reasons noted above.
10
Sales to other customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
increased to $10,793,000 from $6,027,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. The increase in sales was primarily the result of new business with
Paccar. Sales to Paccar for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, amounted
to $5,231,000. Sales to Paccar were generated primarily from the completion of
tooling projects for new business that the Company has acquired. Also adding to
the increase were sales of $2,257,000 to various customers acquired in the
October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Partially offsetting the gain was the
Company discontinuing its business relationship with Case/New Holland. Sales to
Case/New Holland were $3,188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
Gross margin was 15.3% of sales for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, compared with 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in gross margin as a percent of sales from the prior year was due to a
combination of many factors including improvements in material costs, labor
efficiency, reduced energy costs and repairs and maintenance costs at the
Company's Columbus, Ohio facility. This increase in gross margin was partially
offset by reduced margins at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility
primarily due to selling price reductions to Lear Corporation, as noted above.
Gross margins from the newly established operations resulting from the
acquisition noted above were generally in line with the Company's historical
business.
SG&A totaled $7,044,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
increasing from $5,574,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
increase from the 2001 amount is primarily due to the reasons noted above for
the three months.
Interest expense totaled $1,518,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, increasing slightly from $1,487,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, for the reason noted above. Interest income totaled $105,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreasing from $264,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 for the reason noted above.
Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, are estimated to
be approximately 41% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be
lower than the recorded expenses as the Company has substantial federal tax loss
carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax asset.
As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax
payments, the Company reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording a
reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related to
income earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, are estimated to be
approximately $760,000 which reflects Federal alternative minimum, state and
local taxes.
Net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was
$1,726,000 or $.18 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $2,332,000
compared to the net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
of ($606,000) or ($.06) per basic and diluted share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary cash requirements are for operating expenses and
capital expenditures. These cash requirements have historically been met through
a combination of cash flow from operations, equipment leasing, issuance of
Industrial Revenue Bonds and bank lines of credit.
Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, totaled $4,215,000. Net income contributed $1,726,000 with depreciation
and amortization adding another $1,563,000. Adding positive operating cash flows
was an increase in accounts payable of $2,936,000, primarily related to timing
effects. Decreasing the operating cash flow was an increase in accounts
receivable of $3,743,000, which was primarily due to increased sales volumes in
the first nine months of 2002.
Investing activities positively affected cash flow by $392,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002. Proceeds from maturities on the Company's
mortgage-backed security investment totaled $823,000. Partially offsetting these
proceeds were capital expenditures of $431,000 primarily related to the
acquisition of machinery and equipment.
11
Financing activities reduced cash flow by $265,000 due to principal
repayments on the $7,500,000 Industrial Revenue Bond that was issued in 1998.
At September 30, 2002, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. had cash on hand
of $7,495,000. As of September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance of all
three of its financial debt covenants for its letter of credit securing the
Industrial Revenue Bond and certain equipment leases. The covenants relate to
maintaining certain financial ratios. Management expects the Company to meet
these covenants for the remainder of 2002. However, if a material adverse change
in the financial position of the Company should occur, the Company's liquidity
and ability to obtain further financing to fund future operating and capital
requirements could be negatively impacted.
On November 8, 2002, the Company signed a commitment to extend the
Company's $7,500,000 line of credit, which expired in August 2002. The renewed
line of credit matures on April 30, 2004. The line of credit bears interest at
LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent or at the prime rate. The line of
credit is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in all of the
Company's business assets.
Under the terms of the secured note payable to International, the
Company may be required to pay principal in an amount equal to the amount, if
any, by which the total cash and cash equivalents, as of the end of the fiscal
year, exceeds $3,000,000, as long as there is no outstanding balance on the
revolving line of credit and the Company is in compliance with all of its loan
covenants. Based on an analysis of the Company's projected cash position and
financial debt covenants, $1,600,000 of the $19,920,000 has been reclassified to
the current portion of long-term debt on the Company's balance sheet at
September 30, 2002, in anticipation of a future principal payment that will be
made with the bank's consent to International.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an
on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including
those related to accounts receivable, inventories, post retirement benefits, and
income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among
others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable allowances:
Management maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances may be required. Management also records estimates for customer
returns, discounts offered to customers, and for price adjustments. Should
customer returns, discounts, and price adjustments fluctuate from the estimated
amounts, additional allowances may be required.
Inventories:
Management identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories and estimates
appropriate loss provisions related to these inventories. Historically, these
loss provisions have not been significant. Should actual results differ from
these estimates, additional provisions may be required.
12
Post retirement benefits:
Management records an accrual for post retirement costs associated with
the Company sponsored health care plan. Should actual results differ from the
assumptions used to determine the reserves, additional provisions may be
required.
Income taxes:
Management records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax
assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the
valuation allowance and recorded a valuation allowance (see Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, included
in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders). The valuation reserve will be
adjusted as the Company determines the actual amount of deferred tax assets that
will be realized.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Core Molding Technologies, Inc.'s primary market risk results from
fluctuations in interest rates. The Company is also exposed to changes in the
price of commodities used in its manufacturing operations. The Company does not
hold any material market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
The Company has the following four items that are sensitive to a change
in interest rates: (1) Long-term debt consisting of an Industrial Revenue Bond
("IRB") with a balance at September 30, 2002, of $6,185,000. Interest is
variable and is computed weekly; the average interest rate charged for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, was 1.63%, and the maximum interest rate that
may be charged at any time over the life of the IRB is 10%. In order to minimize
the effect of the interest rate fluctuation, Core Molding has entered into an
interest rate swap arrangement under which Core Molding pays a fixed rate of
4.89% to a bank and receives 76% of the 30 day commercial paper rate; (2)
Long-term Secured Note Payable with a balance as of September 30, 2002, of
$19,920,000 at a fixed interest rate of 8%; (3) 7% mortgage-backed security
which matures in November 2025. Such security is recorded at cost and is
considered held to maturity as the Company has the intent and ability to hold
such security to maturity; and (4) Foreign currency purchases in which the
Company purchases Mexican pesos with United States dollars to meet certain
obligations that arise due to the facility located in Mexico.
Assuming a hypothetical 20% change in short-term interest rates in both
the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, interest expense would
not change significantly, as the interest rate swap agreement would generally
offset the impact.
