3. Acquisitions

2004 Acquisitions

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company made cash earn-out payments totaling $13,454 relative to the 2000 acquisition of M&M Knopf Auto Parts, Inc. (“Knopf”). These payments were based on the achievement of certain earnings goals by Knopf during the period August 2000 to December 2003. In December 2003, $13,500 was accrued and recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price of Knopf, resulting in an increase in goodwill.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company made a final cash payment of $4,786 on notes issued in 2002 in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the remaining shares from the minority shareholders of Remy Korea Limited (formerly known as (“fka”) Delco Remy Korea Limited), which was acquired in 1999.

Under one program, the Company sells the accounts of certain of its aftermarket customers to banks, on a non-recourse basis, at a discount. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the amount of receivables under this program was approximately $38,500 and $12,200, respectively. The second program is an early pay plan under which a third party acts as paying agent for one of the Company’s customers. The accounts are paid, at a discounted rate, in five to seven days after shipment instead of the regular terms. This program is also without recourse. The amount covered by this plan at June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $11,600 and $10,900, respectively.

5. Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company successfully completed the sale of Tractech, Inc. and Kraftube, Inc. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded an estimated gain on the sale in 2003, subject to adjustment based on the financial performance of these businesses in 2004 through 2008. An additional gain of $215 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

7. Long-Term Debt

On April 23, 2004, the Company issued $125,000 principal amount of Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.00%, and $150,000 principal amount of 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to pay down existing indebtedness under the Company’s senior credit facilities, including repayment of the $60,000 term loan and relevant prepayment premium, and to finance the redemption of the Company’s outstanding 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2006 issued on August 1, 1996, including the call premium and accrued interest. The 10 5/8% notes were called for redemption in their entirety on April 23, 2004 at a redemption price of 101.771% of their face amount plus accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date of May 24, 2004.

The Floating Rate Notes mature on April 15, 2009. Interest is due each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 commencing July 15, 2004. The Floating Rate Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Floating Rate Notes and the related guarantees are senior obligations secured by a second-priority lien, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, on all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future property and assets that secure the Company’s obligations under its existing credit facilities. In the event of enforcement of the lien securing the Floating Rate Notes and the related guarantees, the proceeds thereof will first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first-priority liens, including the Company’s obligations under its senior credit facilities.

The 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes mature on April 15, 2012. Interest is due each April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2004. The 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior subordinated basis and, with the related guarantees, are unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior to all the Company’s senior debt, including borrowings under its credit facilities, the Floating Rate Notes and the Company’s outstanding 8 5/8% Senior Notes due in 2007.

In connection with the above offering, the Company amended its senior credit facilities to reflect the extinguishment of the $60,000 term loan, provide for borrowings of up to $120,000 under its asset based revolving credit facility, and extend the maturity date from March 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

11

In the second quarter of 2004, in connection with the above debt redemption, repayments and amendment, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7,939. This charge consisted of: (i) call premium of $2,479 and the write off of deferred financing costs of $1,391 on redemption of the 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes; (ii) prepayment penalty of $1,800 and the write off of deferred financing costs of $743 on repayment of the term loan; and (iii) write off of deferred financing costs of $1,226 and an amendment fee of $300 on the amendment and pay down of the senior credit facility. Also during the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded additional interest for the period between the call and redemption dates of $1,281 relative to redemption of the 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

Required principal payments of long-term debt and capitalized leases are as follows:

8. Employee Benefit Plans

Agreements with GM

In connection with the Company’s separation from General Motors Corporation (“GM”), the Company and GM agreed to allocate the responsibility for employee pension benefits and post-retirement health care and life insurance on a pro-rata basis between Remy, Inc. (“RI”) (fka Delco Remy America, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary and GM. The allocation is primarily determined upon years of service with RI and aggregate years of service with RI and GM. Effective August 1, 1994, RI established hourly and salaried pension and post-retirement health care and life insurance plans which are similar to the plans previously offered by GM.

Pension and Post-Retirement Health Care and Life Insurance Plans

RI has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its employees. The plan covering salaried employees provides benefits that are based upon years of service and final estimated average compensation. Benefits for hourly employees are based on stated amounts for each year of service. RI’s funding policy is to contribute amounts to provide the plans with sufficient assets to meet future benefit payment requirements consistent with actuarial determinations of the funding requirements of federal laws. Plan assets are primarily invested in mutual funds, which invest in both debt and equity instruments.

RI maintains hourly and salaried benefit plans that provide post-retirement health care and life insurance to retirees and eligible dependents. The benefits are payable for life, although RI retains the right to modify or terminate the plans providing these benefits. The salaried plan has cost sharing features such as deductibles and co-payments. Salaried employees who were not GM employees prior

12

to 1992 are not eligible for the above-described post-retirement benefits. It is RI’s policy to fund these benefits as claims are incurred.

The components of expense for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 for the plans are as follows:

Pension Benefits

Post-Retirement Health Care and Life Insurance Plans

Cash Flows

The Company contributed $1,970 in the first six months of 2004 and plans to contribute between approximately $3,800 and $5,000 to its pension plans for all of 2004. The post-retirement health care plan is funded as benefits are paid.

9. Income Taxes

Income tax expense of $1,147 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of provisions for domestic state and local taxes of $406 and taxes in various foreign jurisdictions of $740. The provision in foreign jurisdictions reflects a change in the mix of earnings and the deductibility of certain items in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Income tax expense of $10,164 in the six-months ended June 30, 2003 consisted of provisions in foreign jurisdictions of $7,209 and $2,955 of withholding tax on intercompany dividends. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company established a valuation allowance for domestic U.S. deferred tax assets in 2003, which resulted in no domestic U.S. tax provision on second quarter 2003 domestic income.

13

10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations, currency instruments and minimum pension liability adjustments. The before tax income, related income tax effect and accumulated balance for the first and second quarters of 2004 are as follows:

The Company’s total comprehensive income (loss) was as follows:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to commercial transactions, product liability, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters. The Company believes that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for in the financial statements or covered by insurance on the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Remy Mexico, S. De R.L. De C.V. Arbitration

Remy Mexico Holdings, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“RMH”), an indirect subsidiary, and GCID Autopartes, S.A. de C.V. (“GCID”), were parties to a series of agreements, including a partnership agreement. The partnership agreement created Remy Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (fka Delco Remy Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V.) (“RM”), which operates certain manufacturing facilities in Mexico. GCID was the minority partner with a 24% ownership interest. An affiliate of the Company and RMH,

14

Remy Componentes, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“RC”) and RM, were parties to a services agreement with an affiliate of GCID relating to the partnership, which, among other things, required the payment of fees in connection with the provision of employees to the partnership. That agreement terminated as of April 3, 2004. Another affiliate of GCID was the partnership’s landlord until April 30, 2004.

RMH and GCID signed a letter of intent on or about May 3, 2000, whereby GCID agreed to terminate certain of the agreements with RMH and to sell its partnership interest to RMH in exchange for a $13 million termination payment by RMH to GCID, but the transaction was never finalized. In June 2001, GCID declared RMH in default under the partnership agreement, alleging that RMH had failed to conduct the business of the partnership in accordance with that agreement. In August 2001, GCID instituted an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association against RMH and later added RC and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Remy, Inc. (fka Delco Remy America, Inc.), who together with RMH and RC are referred to as the named parties. GCID and its affiliates sought damages for the alleged (i) breaches of the partnership agreement, including a requirement under the partnership that RMH buy out GCID’s partnership interest; (ii) breaches of fiduciary duty; (iii) breaches of various other contracts between and among the various parties; and (iv) tortious interference with contractual relations. RM terminated the lease agreement as of September 27, 2003. RM and RC relocated all operations to another facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico as of April 30, 2004. In accordance with an interim award from the arbitration panel on March 10, 2004, RM and RC hired the employees previously provided by GCID’s affiliate under the services agreement as of April 3, 2004.

The arbitration panel issued its final award on June 25, 2004. In accordance with the final award, on July 26, 2004 GCID transferred its interest in RM to RMH on July 6, 2004 and RMH, RM and RC paid GCID and its affiliates approximately $17,300 for GCID’s minority interest, the award for past services fees for the period of 1997 through 2004, and other claims, including interest. RMH, RM and RC also paid approximately $1,800 in VAT as a result of these payments.

UAW Litigation

On April 16, 2003, the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) and its Local Union 662 filed suit against the Company and Remy, Inc. (“RI”) (fka Delco Remy America, Inc.), in Federal District Court in the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. The lawsuit was filed under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 185, seeking enforcement of an expired Supplemental Unemployment Benefits plan (“SUB plan”). The plaintiffs allege that the SUB plan provides supplemental unemployment benefits for 52 weeks and separation pay in an amount exceeding $20,000 for employees who were terminated as a result of the closure of RI’s Anderson, Indiana production facilities at the end of March 2003. The plaintiffs also seek to enforce terminated provisions of a health care program which the plaintiffs allege provides the terminated employees with 25 months of continued hospital, surgical, medical, hearing aid, prescription drug, mental health, substance abuse and vision insurance coverage. The terminated employees were represented by the UAW and its Local Union 662 under various agreements, which expired on March 31, 2003. The lawsuit was filed shortly after the UAW membership failed to ratify RI’s last, best and final offer for a Shutdown Agreement. The UAW filed an amended complaint on July 8, 2003 to which the Company filed an answer on July 24, 2003. The magistrate has approved a case management plan, and the trial is currently expected to begin in January 2005. The Company denies the material allegations of the complaint, denies any

15

wrongdoing and intends to defend its self vigorously, but is unable to predict whether the proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Remy Reman Facilities

The Remy Reman facilities in Mississippi identified certain possible violations of state air laws and notified the state environmental agency under the state voluntary audit disclosure rules. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality issued Notices of Violation regarding two of the facilities and the subsidiaries have agreed to pay approximately $60 in penalties and spend approximately $110 in supplemental environmental projects.

World Wide Facility

The World Wide facility in Virginia identified certain possible violations of state air laws and notified the state environmental agency under the state voluntary audit disclosure rules. In April 2003, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality issued a warning letter regarding the facility. The necessary permit application was submitted, the permit was issued, and no further corrective action is necessary. The applicable regulatory agencies have confirmed that this matter is closed.

Franklin Power Products, Inc.

In September 2000, one of Franklin Power Products, Inc.’s Indiana facilities received a Finding of Violation and Order for Compliance from the EPA requiring the facility to correct violations of its wastewater discharge permits. Franklin Power Products, Inc. has installed wastewater treatment equipment and is in compliance with the terms of the Order and has eliminated the discharge. In July 2004, the Company and Franklin Power Products, Inc. entered into a Tolling Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA. The Tolling Agreement extends the deadline by which the EPA can bring a civil enforcement action, thereby providing the EPA, the Company and Franklin Power Products, Inc. time to discuss a settlement.

12. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through its subsidiaries. The Company’s 8 5/8% Senior Notes Due 2007, 11% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009, Floating Rate Notes, and the 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries do not guarantee the notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The claims of creditors of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have priority over the rights of the Company to receive dividends or distributions from such subsidiaries.

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three-month and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

The equity method has been used by the Company with respect to investments in subsidiaries. The equity method has been used by Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to investments in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented.
