History

Modine was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin on June 23, 1916 by its founder, Arthur B. Modine. Mr. Modine’s “Spirex” radiators became standard equipment on the basisfamous Ford Model T. When he died at the age of market categories95, A.B. Modine had been granted a total of 120 US patents for heat transfer innovation. This standard of innovation remains the cornerstone of Modine.

Developments and Strategy

customers. We remainare committed to enhancing our presence around the vision of creatingworld and serving our customers where they are located. We want to continue to create value by focusing on customer partnerships and providing innovative solutions for our customers' thermal problems. We continue to focusdo this by focusing on our four strategic initiatives - corporate priorities set forth below:


Improving Profitability Financial Stability, New Products and Technologies,Returns. Modine’s strategy for improved profitability is grounded in enhancing our diversified market and Strategic Planningcustomer base, offering differentiated products and Business Development. We will continueservices, and partnering with customers on global OEM platforms. Modine’s top four customers are in three different markets - automotive, truck and off-highway - and its ten largest customers accounted for approximately 55% of the Company’s fiscal 2005 sales. In fiscal 2005, including exports from domestic businesses, 52% of total revenues were generated from sales to use our skillscustomers outside of the US. Net sales generated by Modine’s international operations were 46% of total revenues, and resources to strengthen our position in key traditional markets. Atexports from the same time, we will leverage those strengths into new markets that need heat-transfer solutions to solve complex problems.

From a growth perspective, we are seeking creative opportunities to extend our core thermal management strengths into new applications and high-growth markets. In our traditional markets, we will increase our market penetration through longstanding customer relationships, superior technology, improved service, and increased content per vehicle. In pursuitUS were 6% of these goals, on April 30, 2004,revenues.

During fiscal 2005, the Company announced the signing of a definitive purchase agreement with WiniaMando Inc. to purchase its Automotive Climate Control Division business (ACC Division) that is headquarteredachieved record financial results in South Korea. The acquisition is expected to increase the Company's revenue by more than 15%, provide many complementary productssales and leverage the Company's significant technology investment. The ACC Division designscash flow and manufactures heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems for commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, and trains as well as other heat transfer components, such as oil coolers and charge air coolers.


We are alsocontinued positive momentum while focusing on enhancing capital performance and asset utilization. Net earnings increased 52% to $61.7 million, or $1.79 per fully diluted share, compared with $40.4 million, or $1.19 per fully diluted share, in fiscal 2004. Fiscal 2005 sales reached a record $1,543.9 million, a 29% improvement versus $1,199.8 million one year ago, while income from operations of $85.0 million jumped from $50.1 million, generating increased operating margins of 5.5% compared with 4.2% in fiscal 2004. Record operating cash flow for fiscal 2005 was $155.7 million, the most promising new markets5th consecutive year above $100 million and new products. Our electronics cooling business competes as a leading supplier in43% increase versus the electronics-cooling market, by designing, manufacturing and distributing thermal-management solutions for microprocessors and electronics applications inprior year. The Company targets a return on average capital employed (ROACE)** of 11% to 12% through the computer, telecommunications, networking, and power-semiconductor markets. We examine market opportunities for complementary products in our existing markets as we evaluate potential acquisitions.

Our investment in research and development (R&D) has increased over 10% annually since fiscal 2000. R&D is an investment that pays off with technologies for our core markets such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). It's also an investment in our future, as our work with CO2,fuel cell technologies and aluminum radiators shows. Federal emissions regulations are tightening fast and the time limits being set require that we react quickly. Modine is a leader in EGR technologycycle and we have developed solutions that allow our customers to meet ever more strict government standards efficiently. Forthcoming regulations will require even more advanced technology, but through our proactive R&D, we are developing new technologies to keep our customers within federal and international guidelines and regulations well into the future.

We have made substantial investmentsachieved a 9.1% ROACE in new, highly efficient plants and equipment along with state-of-the-art technical centers. All of these are critical to our strategy of generating growth through technological leadership. Our new expanded facilities in Wackersdorf, Germany and Hsinchu, Taiwan, increased our manufacturing capacity and flexibility and with our new wind tunnel, technical center and administration building in Bonlanden, Germany ensure better ongoing service for our European and Asian customers.fiscal 2005.


Finally, we

We continue to focus on increasing return on our average capital employed, reflecting our Value Based Management (VBM) strategy. Through VBM, capital is allocated to each business unit based on performance, and that performance is evaluated against a risk-adjusted target rate of return. All business units are measured using specific performance standards and they all must earn the right to grow through their performance. This focus also allows us to identify underperforming business units, and to pursue opportunities that will contribute to our earnings and returns. Over the last two years, by increasing our return on sales from 3.4% to 4.0% and using assets more efficiently to generate sales, we have ensured a better return on capital. We continue to take actions to enhance these returns into the future.

Maintaining Our Financial Stability. The Company maintains a total debt to capital ratio below 40% while searching for accretive acquisitions and partnerships. Our focus on capital management and ability to generate strong cash flows allowed us to continue to pay down existing debt while financing new acquisitions. Our total debt to capital (total debt plus shareholders' equity) ratio increased slightly to 13.8%, compared with 13.0% at the end of fiscal 2004 and significantly down from end of fiscal 2001 when it was 26%. During fiscal 2004,2005 debt increased slightly to finance the Company achieved improved financial results and establishedrecent acquisitions while operating cash flow increased to a positive momentum thanks to our focus on enhancing capital performance and asset utilization. Notably, as an examplerecord $155.7 million over the prior year of VBM in action, improvements in working capital have produced the lowest$109.2 million.

Modine’s days sales outstanding level in severalimproved over the past four years, reducing itdecreasing from 57 days and 52 days at the end of fiscal 2002 and 2003, respectively,2001 to 54 days at the end of fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2005 acquisitions in Asia added 5 days to the total company calculation; excluding these acquisitions, the total company days sales outstanding would have remained at 49 days atsimilar to the end of fiscal 2004. New manufacturing technologies such as our just-in-time and just-in-sequence production processes have assisted in allowing us to increase inventory turns to 7.28.8 turns in fiscal 2004 from 6.47.3 turns one year ago and just over 5.05.2 turns three years ago. Our focus on capital management and ability to generate strong cash flow allowed us to further reduce debt, bringing our total debt to capital (total debt plus shareholders' equity) ratio down to 13%, compared with 17% at the end of fiscal 20032001. Improvements in inventory turns were assisted by the fiscal 2005 acquisitions, but improvements also occurred in the core businesses.

On May 18, 2005, the Company announced a repurchase of up to 5% of its outstanding common stock over the next 18 months as well as the indefinite buyback of additional shares to attempt to offset any dilution from Modine’s incentive stock plans. The dual stock repurchase programs are a part of the Company’s goal of delivering the best possible return to its shareholders.

In addition, on May 18, 2005, we announced another increase in the Company’s annual common stock dividend. The Modine Board increased the annual dividend by 7.7% to $0.70 per share from $0.65 per share, the third increase in 12 months after dividend increases of 6.6% in October 2004 and over 30% four years ago. Over10.9% in May 2004. The higher dividend rate is consistent with the last two years,Company’s belief that dividends are a key component of total shareholder return and our stated objective to maintain a dividend payout ratio of between 35 and 45%.
________
**Definition - Return on average capital employed (ROACE) is the sum of net earnings and adding back after-tax interest (interest expense less the tax benefit at the total company effective tax rate), divided by increasing o urthe average, total debt plus shareholders’ equity. This is a financial measure of the profit generated on the total capital invested in the Company before any interest expenses payable to lenders, net of any tax effect.

Management discussion concerning the use of the financial measure - ROACE:

Return on average capital employed is not a measure derived under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that return on sales from 2.2%capital employed provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company’s performance, ability to 3.4%provide an acceptable return on all the capital utilized by the Company, and using assets more efficientlyability to generate sales,fund growth. This measure may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Developing New Products and Technologies. We are also focusing on the most promising new markets and new products. As a result, our investment in research and development (R&D) has increased at an average annual rate of approximately 9% since fiscal 2000. R&D is an investment that pays off with technologies for our core markets, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers. It's also an investment in our future, as our work with CO2, fuel cell technologies and aluminum radiators demonstrates. Federal emissions regulations are tightening fast and the time limits being set require that we react quickly. Modine is a leader in EGR cooler technology and we have ensured a better return on capital. Wedeveloped solutions that allow our customers to meet ever more strict government standards efficiently. Forthcoming regulations will not rest on this improvement, though. Werequire even more advanced technology, but through our proactive R&D, we are taking actionsdeveloping new technologies to enhance these returnskeep our customers within federal and international guidelines and regulations well into the future. In addition, our electronics cooling business competes as a leading supplier in the electronics-cooling market, by designing, manufacturing and distributing thermal-management solutions for microprocessors and electronics applications in the computer, telecommunications, networking, and power-semiconductor markets.

Geographical Areas

We maintain administrative organizationshave made substantial investments in two regions -new, highly efficient plants and equipment along with state-of-the-art technical centers. All of these are critical to our strategy of generating growth through technological leadership. Our new wind tunnel, technical center and administration buildings in Bonlanden, Germany and wind tunnel and technical center in Asan City, Korea ensure better ongoing service for our global customers.

Making Strategic Planning Decisions and Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions. From a growth perspective, we are seeking creative opportunities to extend our core thermal management strengths into new applications and high-growth markets. We examine market opportunities for complementary products in our existing markets as we evaluate potential acquisitions.

In pursuit of these goals, on July 31, 2004, the Company (through a new wholly owned Korean subsidiary) acquired the South Korean assets of the Automotive Climate Control Division business (ACC Division) of WiniaMando Inc. headquartered in South Korea for approximately $78.9 million in cash. On September 16, 2004, Modine completed the acquisition of the ACC Division’s assets in Shanghai, China for approximately $4.4 million in cash. The former ACC Division businesses design and manufacture heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems for commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, and trains as well as other heat transfer components, such as oil coolers and charge air coolers. We employ nearly 700 people and own a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, research center and manufacturing plant in Asan City, South Korea and a facility in Shanghai, China.  Modine’s operating results for 2005 include the former ACC Division from the date of acquisition. These businesses are included in the Original Equipment segment with a one month delay.

On October 22, 2004, Modine completed the acquisition of the ACC Division’s 50% interest in the Anhui Jianghuai Climate Control Co., Ltd. Joint Venture located in Hefei, China for approximately $2.2 million in cash. Modine’s Chinese joint venture partner is Anhui Huijin Investment Co., Ltd. Modine’s operating results for 2005 include this joint venture, which is reported with a one month delay under “Other Items Not Allocated to Segments.”

On October 29, 2004, the Company announced the proposed spin off of its Aftermarket business to its shareholders on a debt-free and tax-free basis and immediate merger of that business into Transpro, Inc. (AMEX: TPR). After a comprehensive review of the global aftermarket, we determined that our focus needs to be on our OEM customers. Both the OEM and aftermarket vehicle components businesses are extremely competitive, characterized in large part by globalization, margin pressure and consolidation into increasingly larger participants, as well as movement by participants toward a focus on either the OEM or the Aftermarket segment, but not both. Following the proposed transactions, Modine’s shareholders will own approximately 52% of the combined company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis, as well as retaining their Modine shares, and Transpro’s shareholders will own the remaining 48%. The closing of the proposed transaction is expected to occur early in the third quarter of calendar 2005, subject to customary conditions, including the approval of the merger by the shareholders of Transpro. Modine is working to classify its Aftermarket business as a discontinued operation in the quarter in which the transaction closes. At that time, Modine will record a non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $40-55 million to reflect the difference between the value Modine shareholders receive in the combined company, a function of the stock price of Transpro at the time of the closing, and the asset carrying value of Modine’s Aftermarket business.
Modine’s Aftermarket business is reported in the Distributed Products segment.

In connection with the proposed transactions described above with Transpro, on March 1, 2005, Modine acquired Transpro’s subsidiary, G&O Manufacturing Company, Inc. (now known as Modine Jackson, Inc.), which conducted Transpro’s heavy-duty OEM business (aluminum charge air coolers and copper/brass radiators for the heavy duty truck, military, motor home, specialty truck, bus and power generation industries) in Jackson, Mississippi for $16.6 million in cash. G&O Manufacturing had calendar 2004 sales of approximately $50 million. This acquisition supports the premise for the proposed transactions with Transpro, which is the focus of Modine on OEM business and that of Transpro on the Aftermarket. The acquisition was immediately accretive to earnings and offers synergies and expansion opportunities over time. Modine’s operating results for 2005 include Modine Jackson, Inc. from the date of acquisition. This business is included in the Original Equipment segment.

On May 3, 2005, we acquired Airedale International Air Conditioning Limited, a privately held manufacturer of specialty air conditioning systems with headquarters in Leeds, England for approximately $38 million in cash. Founded in 1974 with calendar 2004 revenues of approximately $75 million, Airedale focuses on specialty, low-volume and value-added products and premium services for select, non-residential markets. The acquisition of Airedale nearly doubles the size of Modine’s HVAC business. Airedale products are sold to installers, contractors and end users in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, including banking and finance, education, transportation, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, electronics, hospitals, defense, petrochemicals, and food and beverage processing. Products include close control units for precise temperature and humidity control applications; chiller units and condensing units; comfort products; and equipment service and controls. Airedale has approximately 450 employees and production facilities in Leeds, England, which includes a product development lab and testing center; Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Zhongshan, China. Modine’s operating results for 2005 do not include Airedale. This business is included in the Distributed Products segment commencing on the date of the acquisition.

Exports

In addition, the Company exports from North America to foreign countries and receives royalties from foreign licensees. Export sales as a percentage of total sales were 8%, 10% and 11% for fiscal years ended in 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. Estimated after-tax earnings on export sales as a percentage of total net earnings were 8%, 10% and 11% for fiscal years ended in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Royalties from foreign licensees were 9%, 5% and 13% of total earnings before the cumulative effect of accounting change and 9%, 13% and 13% as a percentage of total after-tax earnings for the last three fiscal years, respectively. In March 2002, Modine received an unfavorable decision from the Japanese patent office Board of Appeals, and reported that by agreement it would no longer receive royalty payments from Showa Denko or Mitsubishi in Japan related to its PF technology.

Modine believes its international presence has positioned the Company to share profitably in the anticipated long-term growth of the global vehicular and industrial markets. Modine is committed to increasing its involvement and investment in international markets in the years ahead.

Foreign and Domestic Operations

Financial information relating to the Company's foreign and domestic operations is included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference at Note 27 on pages 55-57 therein.

Competitive Position



The Company competes with several manufacturers of heat transfer products, some of which are divisions of larger companies and some of which are independent companies. The Company also competes for business with parts manufacturing affiliates of some of our customers. The markets for the Company's products are increasingly competitive and have changed significantly in the past few years as the Company's traditional OEM customers in the United States,US, faced with dramatically increased international competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of parts to compete more effectively with lower-cost imports. These market changes have caused the Company to experience competition from suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax rates and other factors. In addition, our customers continue to ask the Company, as well as their other primary suppliers, to participate directly and more substantially in research and development, design, and validation responsibilities. That has resulted from and should continue to result in stronger customer relationships and more partnership opportunities for the Company.

The competitive landscape for Modine's core heat transfer products continues to change. We face increased competitive challenges from existing companies and the threat of new, low cost competitors (specifically from China) is very real.

continues to exist.

Original Equipment and European Operations Segments


The continuing globalization of the Company's OE customer base has led to the necessity of viewing our competitors on a global basis. In addition, the Company's customers are putting more and more pressure on their suppliers to lower prices, and are putting increasing emphasis on price in the quoting process.

The Company's traditional competitors, Behr, Denso, and Valeo, are no longer regional players. Through acquisitions, joint ventures and organic growth, they have each established a world-wide presence. Furthermore, the Company faces a new form of competition as these companies expand their product offering; migrating from suppliers of components to suppliers of complete integrated systems. Some OEsOEMs have embraced this move, and awarded contracts based on the capabilityability to provide integrated systems.

The Company also faces competition from two sources that

Specifically, these segments are composed of the following business units:

Truck

Products- Engine cooling modules (radiators - aluminum and copper/brass; charge-air-coolers - aluminum; fan shrouds; and surge tanks); HVAC system modules (condensers - integrated parallel flow condensers, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin; evaporators - serpentine, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin; and heater cores - serpentine, round-tube plate-fin); oil coolers (transmission oil coolers - aluminum, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin; brazed plate oil cooler; power steering coolers - aluminum, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin, brazed plate oil cooler) and fuel coolers

Customers - Class 3-4, 5-7 and 8 truck and bus manufacturers

Market Overview- We have historically not been as significant as they are now. Former OE affiliates (in particular, Delphiwitnessed strong growth in the US, Europe, Asia, and Visteon) areSouth America with broad customer and market consolidation, which we expect to continue. Other trends influencing the market include system suppliers becoming more active as they are no longer constrained by an OE parent;vertically integrated, development costs increasing, and distribution methods and dynamics changing. OEMs have greater support expectations at lower prices and require high tech/low cost solutions for their thermal management needs. In general, the customers have a deflationary price approach.

Primary Competitors- Behr, Bergstrom, Delphi, Denso, Red Dot, Valeo, Visteon

Automotive

Products- power train cooling (engine cooling modules; radiators; condensers; charge-air-coolers; auxiliary cooling (power steering coolers and transmission oil coolers)); on-engine cooling (EGR coolers; engine oil coolers; fuel coolers; charge-air-coolers and intake air cooler); passenger thermal management (HVAC).

Customers- automobile and light truck manufacturers

Market Overview- Modine is a niche player in North America, Europe and Asia with sales moderately diversified from a global perspective but dependent on a few major regional suppliers. North America growth is relatively flat with several factors (overcapacity by the Big 3 and under capacity by new domestics) leading to market consolidation and price pressures. OEMs are shifting more development and commercial responsibilities to Tier 1 suppliers with a unique North America trend toward front end modules and cockpit modules. Production in Europe is expected to grow 2% over the next four years with the majority of growth coming from Asian new domestics investing in local production. The European OEMs are experiencing similar market share losses, thus creating further cost pressure. Incremental or replacement business is awarded based upon price reductions on current business.

Primary Competitors - Behr, Delphi, Denso, Doowon CC, Halla, TOYO, Samsung, Showa, Valeo and Visteon.

Off-Highway

Products- engine cooling modules (radiators - aluminum and copper-brass; charge-air-coolers - aluminum; fan shrouds; and surge tanks); HVAC system modules; and oil coolers (transmission oil coolers - aluminum, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin; brazed plate oil cooler; power steering coolers - aluminum, parallel flow, round-tube plate-fin, brazed plate oil cooler; and engine oil coolers)

Customers- Construction and agricultural equipment manufacturers and industrial manufacturers of material handling equipment, generator sets and compressors

Market overview-Market trends in North America and Europe include late customer source selection and an emphasis on low cost country sourcing. Additionally, fixed emissions regulations and timelines are gaining reputations, not onlydriving the advanced product development in both of these markets. OEMs are rapidly expanding into Asia and have a strong desire for price, but also qualitysuppliers to follow and performance. Our positive results come not only from large volumelocalize production. Modine is recognized as having strong technical support and product breadth. Customer expectations are increasing, especially year over year cost reductions and more sophisticated warranty recovery programs.

Primary Competitors - Adams Thermal Systems Inc., AKG, Delphi, Denso, Honeywell Thermal, ThermaSys, Toyo Radiator Co., Ltd. and Valeo

Engine Products (Partially consolidated into these segments on an allocated basis and the remainder is retained in “Corporate and Administrative Expenses.”)

Products - EGR coolers; engine oil coolers; fuel coolers; charge-air-coolers; intake air coolers; and transmission oil coolers

Customers - engine manufacturers

Market Overview - Modine is a significant player in this business but also from projects where we supply systems that incorporate components containing our proprietary intellectual property.

with strategic engine customers in Europe and North and South America. Fixed timeline emissions’ regulations are driving new opportunities for Modine. Additional air cooling requirements, due to increased heat loads, will require products in addition to exhaust gas recirculation coolers. Customers are looking for year over year cost reduction commitments in addition to increased global warranty expectations.


Primary Competitors - Behr, Valeo, Honeywell, TOYO and Yinlun

Distributed Products Segment

While the Company faces a fairly consistent set of competitors in its Original Equipment segment, the same does not hold true for the Distributed Products Segment. This is partially due to the fact that the Distributed Products segment is made up of three distinct business units: vehicular aftermarket products, electronics cooling products and commercial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("CHVAC&R") products.

However, there are consistent competitive trends within these business units. The impact of increased competition from Asia, already present in the aftermarket and electronics cooling business units is becoming a bigger factor in CHVAC&R business unit. In addition, overcapacity at the supplier level, which leads to lower prices, is also a consistent trend in the Distributed Products Segment.

Company Response

CHVAC&R

Products - unit heaters (gas-fired; hydronic; electric and oil-fired); make-up air (direct fired and indirect fired); duct furnaces (indoor and outdoor) infrared units (high intensity, low intensity and vacuum systems); and hydronic products (commercial fin-tub radiation; cabinet unit heaters; and convectors)
Customers - heating and cooling equipment manufacturers; construction contractors; and wholesalers of plumbing and heating equipment
Market Overview- CHVAC&R has strong sales in gas unit heaters and coil products. There are relatively few competitors in the North American market and both Europe and Asia present attractive opportunities. Increased ventilation recovery, higher efficiency, and alternate refrigerant products are technological trends that are influencing the market in both North America and Europe. The relocation of US and European industrial manufacturers to Competitive Threats

Asia, coupled with the rapid industrialization of China, is expected to create a growth opportunity.


Primary Competitors- Heatcraft; Sterling, Reznor, Stulz, McQuay, and Liebert Hiross.

Electronics Cooling

Products - Heat pipes, heat sinks, heat exchangers and cold plates.

Customers- Personal computer manufacturers and telecommunications, networking and power-semiconductor product manufacturers

Market Overview - Electronics Cooling is a niche supplier of heat pipes and related products. The product offering consists of heat pipes, heat sinks, heat exchangers, and cold plates for niche applications. Technical barriers to entry are high, and the large customers have few viable technical substitutes that are also commercially available. Modine is taking stepsperceived to addressbe a strong technology company with excellent engineering but with limited capacity.

Primary Competitors- YCTC, Fujikura, APW, Danatherm, E-Core and Aavid

Aftermarket

Products - complete radiators; radiator cores; heavy-duty cores and radiators; replacement heaters; charge-air-coolers and cores and air conditioning parts

Customers - radiator repair shops; wholesalers and installers of auto repair parts; and warehouse distributors
Market Overview and Competition - The vehicular aftermarket is intensely competitive. During the last five years and for two primary reasons, the traditional automotive aftermarket has experienced significant downward pricing pressure. First, improved vehicle original equipment quality and reliability have reduced the frequency of component replacements. Second, the US aftermarket distribution channels have changed. Large national retailers have grown through chains of aftermarket parts stores. Warehouse distributor companies previously were strong market participants in many regions but have declined over the past several years due to market pricing pressures and acquisitions by larger competitors. The number of traditional radiator shops has also declined as vehicle repairs are now performed by more full service repair shops.

The aftermarket faces competition from two primary sources. First, there are a number of companies with greater resources than Modine that supply radiators to the US aftermarket. Second, the number of foreign competitors supplying the US aftermarket has grown due to relatively low barriers to entry. Many of these foreign competitors are also supplying aftermarket products in Europe and Mexico. The foreign suppliers’ lower priced products exert downward pricing pressure on all channels of the market and result in excess capacity and increasing costs for aftermarket producers like Modine.

In connection with its US air conditioning parts aftermarket business, Modine faces many of the same competitive landscape in which we doforces that apply to the radiator aftermarket business. The Company is committed to innovation, as demonstrated by our leading work in various thermal management technologies. In addition, Modine has placed even greater emphasis on utilizing consistent, benchmark manufacturing processes at its plants across the globe. This results in tighter quality control and more reliable product performance. The Company's innovation not only allows Modine to maintain its competitive edge, it also keeps our customers competitive. Modine also recognizes the roleA relatively small group of low-cost country suppliers participate in the increasingly competitive global marketplace, and utilizes them when appropriate. We have consolidated manufacturing and distribution organizations, re-organized management structures, and rationalized product lines, particularly within our Aftermarket division. We have also tightened controls on capital. These actions have lead to improved operational metrics, and overall asset utilizat ion and financial performance. In addition, we have expanded our product offeringsUS air conditioning parts aftermarket business. Declining prices and increased our rolecompetition from new foreign sources have led to dramatic changes over the past several years in the market for air conditioning compressors and other air conditioning parts such as an integrated systems supplier,condensers, hoses, receivers, switches, heaters and evaporators. Prices for air conditioning compressors have declined in orderthe US aftermarket over the past several years as the supply of these compressors has shifted from remanufactured compressors to differentiate Modine fromnew domestic compressors, and most recently, to new foreign-manufactured compressors.

Primary Competitors - Transpro, SPI, Performance Radiator; 1-800-Radiator and numerous offshore sources

Given the market described above, among other component suppliersconsiderations, the Company intends to spin off its Aftermarket business to its shareholders and provide better value to our customers. We will continue to improve upon these effortsmerge the spun off company with Transpro. See the description of the proposed transaction above under the caption, “Business Strategy - Making Strategic Planning Decisions and introduce others to meet the anticipated demands presented by our competitive environment.

In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the US are subject to others such as changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and volatility and market fluctuations.

Information about business segment and geographic region regarding principal products, principal markets, methods of distribution, net sales, operating profit and assets is hereby incorporated by reference from pages 66-69 of our 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders, Note 25.

Exports

The Company exports from North America to foreign countries and receives royalties from foreign licensees. Export sales as a percentage of total sales were 6%, 8% and 10% for fiscal years ended in 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively. Estimated after-tax earnings on export sales as a percentage of total net earnings were 6%, 8% and 10% for fiscal years ended in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Royalties from foreign licensees were 4%, 9% and 5% of total earnings before the cumulative effect of accounting change and 4%, 9% and 13% as a percentage of total after-tax earnings for the last three fiscal years, respectively. Royalty income declined $2.0 million in fiscal 2005 due to a reduction in PF royalties from Japanese companies and payments in arrears received in fiscal 2004.

Modine believes its international presence has positioned the Company to share profitably in the anticipated long-term growth of the global vehicular and industrial markets. Modine is committed to increasing its involvement and investment in international markets in the years ahead.

Foreign and Domestic Operations

Financial information relating to the Company's foreign and domestic operations is included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference to Note 25 on pages 65-69 therein.

Backlog of Orders


While the Company has a large backlog of orders, the backlog is not deemed significant or material; backlog historically has had little relation to shipments.orders. Modine's products are produced from readily available materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and steel and have a relatively short manufacturing cycle. The Company's operating units maintain their own inventories and production schedules. Current production capacity is capable of handling the sales volumes expected in fiscal 2005.2006.

In November 2004, the Company announced $330 million of expected net new original equipment business over the next five years. The Company is not adding any facilities to perform this new business.

Raw Materials


Aluminum, copper, brass, steel, and solder, all essential to the business, are purchased regularly from several domestic and foreign producers. In general, the Company does not rely on any one supplier for these materials, which are for the most part available from numerous sources in quantities required by the Company. The Company normally does not experience material shortages within its operations and believes that producers' supplies of these materials will be adequate through the end of fiscal year 2005.2006. In addition, when possible, Modine has made material pass-through arrangements with its key customers. Under these arrangements, the Company can pass material cost increases and decreases to its customers. However, where these pass-through arrangements are utilized, there is a time lag between the time of the material increase or decrease and the time of the pass-through.

Patents

Patents

The Company, and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, own outright or are licensed to produce products under a number of patents and licenses. These patents and licenses, which have been obtained over a period of years, will expire at various times. Because the Company is involved with many product lines, the Company believes that its business as a whole is not materially dependent upon any particular patent or license, or any particular group of patents or licenses. Modine considers each of its patents, trademarks and licenses to be of value and aggressively defends its rights throughout the world against infringement. Modine was awarded more than 100 newended its 2005 fiscal year with 2,049 worldwide patents, world-wide for technological innovations in fiscal 2004.an increase of 386 patents worldwide over the prior year, primarily due to 244 global patents connected with the ACC Division acquisition.


Research and Development


The Company remains committed to its vision of creating value through technology. Company-sponsored research activities relate to the development of new products, processes and services, orand the improvement of existing products, processes, and services. Research expenditures in fiscal 2005 were $32,002,000; in 2004 were- $31,414,000; and in fiscal 2003 - $27,923,000; and in fiscal 2002 - $26,802,000.$27,923,000. There were no material expenditures on research activities that were customer-sponsored. Over the course of the last few years, the Company has become involved in a number of industry- or, university- sponsoredand government-sponsored research organizations. These consortia conduct research and provide data on technical topics deemed to be of interest to the Company for practical applications in the markets the Company serves. The research and data developed is generally shared among the member companies. In addition, to achieve efficiencies and lower developmental costs, Modine's research and engineering groups work closely with Modine's customers on s pecialspecial projects and systems designs. In addition, the Company is participating in government-funded projects, including dual purpose programs in which the Company retains commercial intellectual property rights in technology it develops for the government, such as a contract with the United States Army for the use of CO2 technology in the HMMWV cooling system.


Environmental, Health and Safety Matters


Modine continues the implementationmarked a significant achievement in fiscal 2005 by reaching its goal of its Environmental Management System (EMS) with fifteenimplementation at 26 OEM manufacturing facilities attainingfacilities. Each of these locations has now attained independent third-party certification to the internationally recognized ISO14001 standard. We are pursuing EMS implementation at our Original Equipment locations world-wide and expect certification to the ISO14001 standardEmployees at all levels of those locations by the end of fiscal 2005.organization were involved in reaching this goal which was announced in January 2002. Modine’s EMS represents a long-term strategic commitment for preventing pollution, eliminating waste and reducing environmental risks in the Company’s operations.

In fiscal 2004, Modine beganestablished a world-wideworldwide program for monitoring its environmental performance. OverThis program is a continuation of Modine’s Waste Minimization program that dates back to 1990, and was expanded in 2004 to also include conservation of natural resources. These standardized metrics provide a baseline for the past year, Modine's North American locationscontinued reduction of wastes, generation of fewer greenhouse gasses, and the introduction of more environmentally friendly production materials. In fiscal 2005, Modine recorded: a 13% decrease in water use; a 10% decrease in fuel use,waste; and a 2%5% decrease in electricity use, and a 6% decrease in water use (all metrics normalizedvolatile air emissions (normalized for sales). In addition, Modine has achievedeliminated greater than 1.1 million pounds, equal to a 30%35% year-over-year reduction, in the use of chemicals it has voluntarily targeted for elimination due to their potential environmental risks.risk to the environment. These chemicals include certain solvents and lead compounds.

Modine introduced its Energy Conservation Initiative in fiscal 2005, which challenges its manufacturing facilities world-wide to reduce energy consumption by 12% over the fiscal 2004 baseline year. The Company's US locations decreased their reportedinitiative not only targets on-site emissions of greenhouse gases from fuel combustion, but also extends to reducing emissions from utilities that supply Modine electricity. If successful, the Initiative will eliminate air emissions equivalent to that generated by more than 5,000 cars and result in an estimated annual savings of $2.3 million. Overall, Modine reduced its use of electricity and fuel by 11% and 13%, respectively, in fiscal 2005 (normalized for sales).

Modine's commitment to protecting the environment is also reflected in its reporting of chemical releases underas monitored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) Toxic Chemical Release Inventory programprogram. The Company's US locations decreased their reported chemical releases in fiveseven of the past sixeight years, and recorded a 66%10% decrease from 20012002 to 2002 (the most recent reporting statistics).2003. Modine achieved a 90%substantial 91% decline in reported chemical releases from 1996 to 2002,2003, and has consistently performed better than the national average. Modine expects continued improvement in this area for the 2004 calendar year which will be reported shortly.

Modine accrues for environmental remediation activities relating to past operations --- including those under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), often referred to as "Superfund,""Superfund", and under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) - when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and reasonable estimates can be made. Although there are currently no known liabilities that might have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net assets, the USEPA has designated Modine as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for remediation of five waste disposal sites. These sites are as follows: Elgin Salvage (Illinois); N.L./Taracorp (Illinois); Interstate Lead (Alabama); H.O.D. Landfill (Illinois): and, Alburn Incinerator/Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois) and Dixie Barrel & Drum (Tennessee). These sites are not Company-ownedcompany-owned and allegedly contain wastes attributable to Modine from past operations. The Company's potential liability at these five sites is significantly less than the tota ltotal site remediation costs because the percentage of material attributable to Modine is relatively low. These claims are in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings and include recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations and remedial actions. In three instances, Modine has not received, and may never receive, documentation verifying its involvement and/or its share of waste contributions to the sites. Additionally, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified.

At the N.L./Taracorp site, a settlement agreement was signed in January 2002 which included a $119,000 settlement assessment. On January 16, 2004, the USEPA published its notice of proposed settlement with the de minimis PRPs, including Modine.

In 1986, Modine executed a Consent Decree involving other PRPs and the Illinois EPA and paid $1,029 for its allocated share (0.1%) of the Alburn Incinerator, Inc. remediation costs. USEPA signed a Covenant Not to Sue in conjunction with the Consent Decree, but reserved its right to "seek additional relief" for any additional costs incurred by the United StatesUS at the site. OnIn November 6, 2003, Modine received a General Notice of Liability from the USEPA requesting Modine's participation as a PRP for the performance of additional activities that the USEPA has determined, or will determine, required to restore the Alburn Incinerator Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster site. Modine responded to USEPA's letter stating that it would be willing to participate as a member of a PRP group in settlement of the site remedial costs as a "micro de minimis PRP." In February 2005, the USEPA accepted the PRP Group’s Good Faith Offer to conduct or finance the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at the site.

In October 2004, Modine received a Request for Information from the USEPA concerning the Dixie Barrel & Drum Superfund Site in Knoxville, Tennessee. The USEPA requested information pertaining to Modine's alleged contributions to this site and for any information Modine may possess relating to the site's activities. Modine responded to the USEPA indicating that it arranged for Dixie Barrel & Drum to accept empty drums for reclamation purposes from the then-owned Knoxville, Tennessee location and possibly from Modine's Clinton, Tennessee location. Modine, however, did not use Dixie Barrel & Drum for the purposes of disposal or treatment of any hazardous materials or wastes.

The Company accrues costs associated with environmental matters, on an undiscounted basis, when they become probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had $119,000 accrued for all respective periods, in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet to cover cleanup activities, including remediation and legal costs at the N.L./Taracorp site. This accrual does not reflect any possible insurance recoveries but does reflect a reasonable estimate of cost sharing at multi-party sites. The March 31, 2004 accrual is expected to be remitted as soon as a formal request for payment is received from the USEPA. Costs anticipated for settlement of the Alburn Incinerator/Lake Calumet Cluster siteand Dixie Barrel & Drum sites cannot be reasonably defined at this time and have not been accrued. The costs to Modine, however, are not expected to be material at this sitethese sites based upon Modine's relatively small portion of wastecontributed waste. There are no accruals for off-site cleanup activities, including remediation and legal costs, at just onethe end of the properties comprising the Lake Calumet Cluster.fiscal 2005.

An obligation for remedial activities may also arise at a Modine-owned facilitiesfacility due to past practices or as a result of a property purchase or sale. These expenditures most often relate to sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations, but will now require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure appropriate environmental protection. The Company investigates, and pursues where appropriate, insurance coverage to limit its risk associated with these facilities. ThreeTwo of the Company's currently owned manufacturing facilities currentlyand one formerly owned property have been identified as requiring soil and/or groundwater remediation. Environmental liabilities recorded atas of March 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 20022003 to cover the investigative work and remediation for sites in the U.S.US and The Netherlands were $1.2 million, $1.0$1.2 million, and $0.8$1.0 million, respectively. These liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "other noncurrent liabilities." It is unlikely these remediation efforts will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition.results of operations.

Emerging environmental regulations, as well as the Company's policy continuously to continuously improve upon its environmental management programs, will require capital equipment expenditures over the coming years. For the 2005 fiscal year, ending March 31, 2004 capital expenditures related to environmental projects were $0.5$0.3 million. Modine currently expects expenditures for environmentally related capital projects to be about $0.7$0.8 million in fiscal 2005.2006.

Environmental expenses charged to current operations, including remediation costs, solid waste disposal, and operating and maintenance costs totaled about $2.5$2.6 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004.2005. Operating expenses of some facilities may increase during fiscal 2005year 2006 because of such chargesenvironmental matters, but thewe do not expect Modine’s competitive position of the Company is not expected to change materially.materially as a result. Although some environmental costs may be substantial, the Company has no reason to believe such costs vary significantly from costs incurred by other companies engaged in similar businesses.

The Health

With regard to its health and Safetysafety program, the Company’s performance of the Company continues to move in fiscal 2005 remained steady, maintaining a positive direction. In calendar 2003, the Company's North American and European locations achieved a 41% and a 39% Recordable Incidence Rate (RIR) improvement, respectively.and Lost Time and Restricted Duty Incident RatesRate (LWDII) also improved by 48% throughoutwell below the national averages for North America. Our Harrodsburg. KY facility achieved an entire year without an OSHA recordable injury, leading the wayWhile all facilities remain focused on health and safety improvements, several plants received external recognition for the Company in incident rate improvement.

Another major accomplishment forprogress they have made over the Companyrecent years. In July 2004, our Lawrenceburg, Tennessee facility was named the certificationrecipient of the 2004 Award of Excellence for outstanding safety from the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development and the following month reached a milestone of eight years without a lost-time injury. In January 2005, our Harrodsburg, KYKentucky facility aswas awarded the prestigious Kentucky Governor’s Award for Health & Safety in recognition of employees working half a KY OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) site. million hours without a lost-time accident. In April 2005, our West Kingston, Rhode Island facility received the Safe Employer Award from the Safety Association of Rhode Island, which recognizes industries in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for outstanding health and safety efforts.


We continue to challenge our North American facilities to become Modine Safety STAR sites, underwhich is a Modine program modeled after Federal OSHA's VPP. We award theOSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program. The Modine "STAR" is awarded to those facilities that achieve 100% compliance with the Company's 2324 Health and Safety elements and attain recordable and LWDII rates below the General Industry Average for the preceding twelve month period. In calendar 2003,2004, our Emporia, KS and the Toledo, OHLawrenceburg, TN facility met the Modine STAR challenge and wewere recognized the West Kingston, RI facility with a Safety Merit award for itstheir health and safety efforts.

The Company

Modine continues to enhance its Health and Safety efforts through further program development. In fiscal 2005, we will implement a Corporate Ergonomics program was implemented to focus the efforts of the Body Mechanics programs that began in 1998 at many of the North American facilities. We designed the Ergonomics program to eliminatereduce musculoskeletal disorder-relateddisorder related injuries, often caused by repetitive motion activities.

In addition, computer kiosks were established at all original equipment manufacturing facilities that are readily available to provide immediate access to valuable chemical information and interactive safety training programs.


Employees


The number of persons employed by the Company as of March 31, 20042005 was approximately 7,500.9,000.



Seasonal Nature of Business


Distributed Products may experience a degree of seasonality since the demand for aftermarketAftermarket and HVAC products is affected by weather patterns, construction, and other factors. On an overall companyCompany basis, though, there is no significant degree of seasonality as indicated by the percentages below. Sales to OEMs and electronics manufacturers are dependent upon the demand for new vehicles and equipment, respectively.

Working Capital Items


The Company manufactures products for the Original Equipment and European segments on an as-ordered basis, which makes large inventories of such products unnecessary. In addition, the Company does not experience a significant amount of returned products. In the Distributed Products segment, the Company maintains varying levels of finished goods inventory due to the extensive distribution systems and seasonal sales programs. We manage this inventory efficiently and spread it throughout the Company's distribution systems. In these areas, in general, the industry and the Company make use of extended terms of payment for customers on a limited and/or seasonal basis.

Recent Developments

Behr Patent Infringement Litigation

With a brief dated November 16, 2004, Behr GmbH & Co. KG sued Modine Europe GmbH, Modine Austria Ges.mbH, and Modine Wackersdorf GmbH in the District Court in Mannheim, Federal Republic of Germany claiming infringement of Behr EPO patent 0669506 which covers a “plastic cage” insert for an integrated receiver/dryer condenser. Behr claims past infringement and current infringement by the Modine entities. Behr demands a cease and desist order, legal costs as provided by law, sales information and compensation. The amount of compensation due to Behr, if any, would be based on lost profits of Behr, profits made by the Modine entities or a reasonable royalty rate of any integrated receiver/dryer condensers manufactured or sold by Modine and found to have infringed. In a related suit in the Federal Patent Court in Munich, Federal Republic of Germany, the Modine entities are asserting that the Behr patent described above is null and void and, therefore, Modine has not infringed and is not infringing any intellectual property rights of Behr in the production of integrated receiver/dryer condensers based on Modine designs. Under German law, the determination of patent validity is considered in a separate legal action from the consideration of infringement. We anticipate that the court in Mannheim considering the infringement case will issue its findings prior to the court in Munich considering the validity issue. An evidentiary hearing was held in Mannheim on June 3, 2005. A decision from the Mannheim court is expected in late July 2005. A decision from the Munich court is expected in the second quarter of 2006. Modine intends to vigorously defend the Mannheim infringement action and pursue the Munich nullity action and, in the event of any adverse determination, appeal to a higher court.

Behr Damages Litigation

With a brief dated July 23, 2004, Behr GmbH & Co. KG sued Modine Manufacturing Company in the District Court in Duesseldorf, Federal Republic of Germany, alleging a claim based on Modine bringing a patent infringement suit in bad faith and thereby causing Behr damages in the year 2000. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages as the result of Behr having to re-design certain of its PF-style condensers to avoid the Modine patent, and recovery of its legal costs as provided by German law. Modine has responded to the complaint and we believe the Behr allegations are without merit. We anticipate that the court in Duesseldorf will issue its findings in the third calendar quarter of 2005. Modine intends to vigorously defend the Duesseldorf damages action and, in the event of any adverse determination, appeal to a higher court.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company that is required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

There has been no change in the Company'sresponsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that occurred(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005. The assessment was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework.”Based on this assessment management concluded that, as of March 31, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Management has excluded the businesses in Asan City, South Korea, Shanghai, China and Jackson, Mississippi, from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during fiscal 2005. Each of these businesses are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the lastCompany, the total assets of which represent 12.6%, 0.5% and 2.2%, respectively, and whose total revenue represent 7.4%, 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included on page 72 in the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, there was no change in Modine’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion,
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements referredstatements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to above present fairly,future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in all material respects,conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded the businesses in Asan City, South Korea, Shanghai, China and Jackson, Mississippi, from its assessment of internal control over financial position of Thermacore International, Inc. and subsidiariesreporting as of June 30, 2000March 31, 2005, because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during fiscal 2005. We have also excluded these businesses from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Each of these businesses are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, whose total assets represent 12.6%, 0.5% and 1999,2.2% , respectively, and whose total revenue represent 7.4%, 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively, of the resultsrelated consolidated financial statement amounts as of their operations and their cash flows for the years thenfiscal year ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.March 31, 2005.
