REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT AS INDICATED
Quarters Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and Year Ended December 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Remy International, Inc., (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Company has not materially changed its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005.
2. Business, Industry, General Economic Conditions and Liquidity
Remy International, Inc. is a leading global vehicular parts designer, manufacturer, remanufacturer, marketer and distributor of aftermarket and original equipment electrical components and aftermarket powertrain components for automobiles, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks and other vehicles. The Company also provides core exchange services. The Company sells its products worldwide primarily under the “Delco Remy” brand name, the “Remy” brand name, the “World Wide Automotive” brand name and our customers’ widely recognized private label brand names. The Company’s products include starters, alternators, remanufactured engines, and fuel systems which are principally sold or distributed to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for both original equipment manufacture and aftermarket operations, as well as to warehouse distributors and retail automotive parts chains. The Company sells its products principally in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
The Company believes it is the largest producer in the world of remanufactured starters and alternators for the aftermarket. The Company’s remanufacturing operations obtain failed products, commonly known as cores, from its customers as returns. These cores are an essential material needed for the remanufacturing operations. The Company also provides exchange services for cores for third party aftermarket remanufacturers. At the time of the Company’s separation from General Motors Corporation (“GM”) in August 1994, the Company was predominantly a North American original equipment manufacturer with a majority of the 1995 sales derived from GM. Through strategic capital investments, acquisitions, divestitures and facility and workforce rationalization, the Company has become a low cost, global manufacturer and remanufacturer with a more balanced business and
6
product mix between the aftermarket and the original equipment market. Since fiscal year 1995, the Company has increased sales, broadened its product line, expanded manufacturing and remanufacturing capabilities, diversified its customer base and end markets, lowered its cost base and extended its participation in international markets.
In general, the Company’s business is influenced by the underlying trends in the automobile, light truck, and heavy-duty truck, construction and industrial markets. However, the Company has been able to balance the cyclical nature of some of its businesses with the diversity of original equipment manufacturing markets between the automotive, heavy duty truck and industrial markets by focusing on its remanufacturing capabilities and its aftermarket business.
The automotive parts market is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on quality of products, service, delivery, technical support and price. Most OEMs and aftermarket distributors source parts from one or two suppliers and the Company competes with a number of companies who supply automobile manufacturers throughout the world.
The Company’s operating results for 2005 were significantly below 2004. While net sales increased to $1,228,950 in 2005 from $1,051,165 in 2004, gross margin percentage decreased to approximately 12% in 2005. This decrease in gross margin percentage, coupled with impairment and restructuring charges in 2005 led to an operating loss of $10,749 and a net loss (from continuing operations) of $96,579. The decrease in gross margin percentage was driven by decreasing sales prices, commodity price increases, start up and launch costs in transferring certain manufacturing and remanufacturing production to Mexico and unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuations (primarily in the US dollar vs. the Korean Won). The Company’s operating results for the first quarter of 2006 improved as compared to the first quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2005. Net sales increased to $351,589 in the first quarter of 2006 from $281,568 in the first quarter of 2005. The gross margin percentage of 14.2% in the first quarter of 2006 compares with 16.1% in the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to price reductions, product mix and higher commodity and fuel costs. Selling General and Administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2006 as compared with the first quarter of 2005.
In 2005, the Company used $46,887 of cash for operating activities and $41,382 of cash for capital expenditures. In December 2005, the Company obtained an additional $80,000 term loan. In the first quarter of 2006 cash used in operating activities was $8,552 compared with $2,567 of cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2005. Cash required to service the Company’s substantial indebtedness places significant demands on the Company’s liquidity.
In order to improve its 2006 cash flow from operations as well as its overall liquidity, the Company has taken specific actions to improve its margins and overall cost structure. These actions include certain customer price increases, supplier price concessions, headcount reductions and price reductions on freight. Further, the Company plans to complete the integration of the acquisition of Unit Parts Company (“UPC”) in 2006.
The Company’s $145,000, 8 5/8% Senior Notes are due December 15, 2007. In anticipation of this due date and in consideration of the Company’s substantial indebtedness, the Company is exploring various strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, refinancing some or all of its debt. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized management to explore restructuring alternatives including the engagement of investment bankers to advise the Company and analyze the disposition of certain non-core businesses.
7
The Company believes that the actions discussed above provide the foundation for improved operating performance in 2006 and future periods and that the Company’s expected future operating results and liquidity are sufficient to satisfy its operating and liquidity requirements during 2006. The Company is prepared to take actions to maintain sufficient liquidity in the event of any unforeseen downturns or other circumstances. For more information see the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K.
3. Additional Balance Sheet Information

11. Other 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 and the matters discussed below will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company except as otherwise indicated.
HCS Pay Litigation
On January 16, 2006, the Company initiated litigation in the Circuit Court of Oakland County, Michigan against Hennessey Capital, LLC; HCSPay, LLC; and SurGen, LLC (the preceding three entities collectively are referred to as Hennessey) and against Surge Capital; Lancelot Investors Fund LP; Lancelot Investment Management, LLC; AGM II, LLC; and John Maselli (the preceding five entities collectively are referred to as Surge). This litigation seeks the return of approximately $6,083 that the Company believes is owed to it under a factoring agreement that it entered into with Hennessey plus punitive damages and costs. The Company alleges claims against Hennessey for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. The Company alleges claims against Surge for conversion, unjust enrichment, declaratory judgment, and constructive trust and seek the return of the Company’s funds plus punitive damages and costs. This matter is ongoing and the Company is pursuing its claims vigorously. At March 31, 2006, the Company had a receivable recorded of $6,083 related to this matter.
UAW Litigation
On April 16, 2003, UAW and its Local Union 662 filed suit against the Company and Remy, Inc. (“RI”), 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 alleged that the SUB plan provided 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 sought to enforce terminated provisions of a health care program, which the plaintiffs alleged that the plan provided 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. Motions for summary judgment filed by the parties were denied by the court in September 2005. On January 31, 2006, a final settlement agreement and release was entered into by the parties which fully resolved all of the allegations of the complaint. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company and RI agreed
12
to contribute approximately $5,250 to the SUB plan in return for a release of all claims alleged in the lawsuit, including any further obligations to fund the SUB plan. The Company paid the $5,250 and associated payroll taxes of $315 in the first quarter of 2006.
Prison Labor Matter
In January 2004, a class action on behalf of all prisoners who worked in a South Carolina Department of Corrections (“SCDC”) Services Training Program at Lieber Correctional Institute was brought against the SCDC and our former subsidiary Williams Technologies, Inc. (“Williams”), which was sold to Caterpillar, Inc., in September 2004. The Plaintiffs claim that (a) they should have been paid industry prevailing wages under a South Carolina prison industries authorization statute, (b) the SCDC and Williams violated the Payment of Wages Act and (c) the SCDC and Williams committed a tort under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act. Under the terms of the sale, the Company retained liability and responsibility for this claim. The Circuit Court for Dorchester County granted summary judgment to the Company on April 21, 2005, and decertified the Plaintiff class. On January 24, 2006, the Plaintiff filed an appellate brief and Williams responded to this brief in March 2006. We continue to deny the material allegations of the complaint and any wrongdoing. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
Import/Export Matters
We continue to expand globally to take advantage of global economic conditions and related cost structures. We are subject to various duties and import/export taxes. We actively review our import/export processes in North America, Europe and Asia to verify the appropriate import duty classification, value and duty rate, including import value added tax. As part of this review process, we identified a potential exposure related to customs duties in the United States. Upon resolution of these interpretations, duties due from us could range from $0 to $12,200. We paid $1,000 in 2005 and as of March 31, 2006, we have accrued approximately $7,100 related to this matter.
Franklin Power Products Facility
In September 2000, one of Franklin Power Products, Inc.’s Indiana facilities received a Finding of Violation and Order for Compliance (the “Order”) from the EPA requiring the facility to correct violations of its wastewater discharge permits. Franklin Power Products, Inc. installed wastewater treatment equipment and is in compliance with the terms of the Order and has eliminated the discharge. In July 2004, we and Franklin Power Products, Inc. entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA, which tolled the statute of limitations on the EPA’s potential claim for penalties. Since that time, we have been cooperating with the EPA by providing additional information and have entered into settlement negotiations with the EPA and the Department of Justice. On April 12, 2006, the EPA and the Company reached a settlement for $851 and entered into a consent decree to resolve this matter. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a liability of $851 related to this issue.
12. Finanancial 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, Second Priority Senior 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
13
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.

Item 2. REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT AS INDICATED
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
Introduction
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Remy International, Inc.’s (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, including the financial statements and accompanying notes.
On March 18, 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Unit Parts Company, which we refer to as UPC (see Note 4 to our financial statements in Item 1). The operating results of UPC for the period March 18 through March 31, 2005, are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, and are reflected in the Electrical Aftermarket discussion of net sales and gross profit below. The operating results of UPC did not have a material effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the first quarter of 2005.
General
We are a leading global vehicular parts designer, manufacturer, remanufacturer, marketer and distributor of aftermarket and original equipment electrical components and aftermarket powertrain components for automobiles, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks and other vehicles. We also provide core exchange services. We sell our products worldwide primarily under the “Delco Remy” brand name, the “Remy” brand name, the “World Wide Automotive” brand name and our customers’ widely recognized private label brand names. Our products include starters, alternators, remanufactured engines, and fuel systems which are principally sold or distributed to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for both original equipment manufacture and aftermarket operations, as well as to warehouse distributors and retail automotive parts chains. We sell our products principally in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
We believe we are the largest producer in the world of remanufactured starters and alternators for the aftermarket. Our remanufacturing operations obtain failed products, commonly known as cores, from our customers as returns. These cores are an essential material needed for the remanufacturing operations. We also provide exchange services for cores for third party aftermarket remanufacturers. At the time of our separation from General Motors Corporation (“GM”) in August 1994, we were predominantly a North American original equipment manufacturer with a majority of our 1995 sales derived from GM. Through strategic capital investments, acquisitions, divestitures and facility and workforce rationalization, we have become a low cost, global manufacturer and remanufacturer with a more balanced business and product mix between the aftermarket and the original equipment market. Since fiscal year 1995, we have increased sales, broadened our product line, expanded manufacturing and remanufacturing capabilities, diversified our customer base and end markets, lowered our cost base and extended our participation in international markets.
21
In general, our business is influenced by the underlying trends in the automobile, light truck, and heavy-duty truck, construction and industrial markets. However, we have been able to balance the cyclical nature of some of our businesses with the diversity of original equipment manufacturing markets between the automotive, heavy duty truck and industrial markets by focusing on our remanufacturing capabilities and aftermarket business.
The automotive parts market is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on quality of products, service, delivery, technical support and price. Most OEMs and aftermarket distributors source parts from one or two suppliers and we compete with a number of companies who supply automobile manufacturers throughout the world.
Our operating results for 2005 were significantly below 2004. While net sales increased to $1,229.0 million in 2005 from $1,051.2 million in 2004, gross margin percentage decreased to approximately 12% in 2005. This decrease in gross margin percentage, coupled with impairment and restructuring charges in 2005 led to an operating loss of $10.7 million and a net loss (from continuing operations) of $96.6 million. The decrease in gross margin percentage was driven by decreasing sales prices, commodity price increases, start up and launch costs in transferring certain manufacturing and remanufacturing production to Mexico and unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuations (primarily in the US dollar vs. the Korean Won). Our operating results for the first quarter of 2006 improved as compared to the first quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2005. Net sales increased to $351.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $281.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. The gross margin percentage of 14.2% in the first quarter of 2006 compares with 16.1% in the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to price reductions, product mix and higher commodity and fuel costs. Selling General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2006 as compared with the first quarter of 2005.
In 2005, we used $46.9 million of cash for operating activities and $41.4 million of cash for capital expenditures. In December 2005, we obtained an additional $80.0 million term loan. In the first quarter of 2006 cash used in operating activities was $8.6 million compared with $2.6 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2005. Cash required to service our substantial indebtedness places significant demands on our liquidity.
In order to improve our 2006 cash flow from operations as well as our overall liquidity, we have has taken specific actions to improve our margins and overall cost structure. These actions include certain customer price increases, supplier price concessions, headcount reductions and price reductions on freight. Further, we plan to complete the integration of the acquisition of UPC in 2006.
Our $145.0 million, 8 5/8% Senior Notes are due December 15, 2007. In anticipation of this due date and in consideration of our substantial indebtedness, we are exploring various strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, refinancing some or all of our debt. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized management to explore restructuring alternatives including the engagement of investment bankers to advise us and analyze the disposition of certain non-core businesses.
We believe that the actions discussed above provide the foundation for improved operating performance in 2006 and future periods and that our expected future operating
22
results and liquidity are sufficient to satisfy our operating and liquidity requirements during 2006. We are prepared to take actions to maintain sufficient liquidity in the event of any unforeseen downturns or other circumstances. For more information see our 2005 Form 10-K.

Net Sales
Net sales to Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers, which we refer to as OEMs, increased primarily due to the continued ramp up of the alternator business and the impact of new business awards received offset in part by price reductions. Heavy-duty OEM sales increased slightly due to volume. OEM sales quarter over quarter also increased due to the North American industry practice of passing on the costs of fluctuations from the contractual price of copper and aluminum to certain of our customers. Electrical aftermarket sales increased mainly due to the full quarter effect of the acquisition of UPC on March 18, 2005, partially offset by soft market conditions and lower volume from General Motors Service Parts Organization. Net Sales at UPC during the three months ended March 31, 2005 were approximately $5.0 million. Powertrain sales increased due to higher diesel engine and parts volume. Third party sales in the core services business declined primarily relating to softening demand for new parts.
Gross Profit
Gross profit of $50.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 increased $4.6 million, or 10.1%, compared with the first quarter of 2005, and as a percentage of net sales was 14.2% in 2006 compared with 16.1% in 2005. Automotive OEM gross profit declined $1.7 million due to price reductions, higher fuel costs, and product mix. Heavy-duty OEM gross profit declined $2.1 million primarily due to fuel costs. Electrical aftermarket gross profit increased $6.7 million primarily due to the increase in sales volume and cost savings synergies associated with the acquisition of UPC. Powertrain gross profit increased $2.0 million as a result of higher sales. Gross profit on core services decreased $0.3 million due to higher material prices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative, which we refer to as SG&A, expenses of $33.4 million in the first quarter of 2006 increased $2.1 million, or 6.7%, from $31.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 9.5% in the first quarter of 2006 compared with 11.1% in the first quarter of 2005. The year over year increase in SG&A expenses reflects the addition of UPC in 2005 offset by costs savings associated with restructuring activities undertaken in 2005.
23
Restructuring Charge (Credit)
A restructuring charge of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 consisted of charges recorded relative to actions undertaken in 2005 for the closure of two distributions centers, the consolidation of certain electrical aftermarket operations, the reduction in force at our headquarters and the consolidation of operations in Europe.
A restructuring credit of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2005 consisted of a $1.1 million credit for the reversal of accrued maintenance expenses reflecting our utilization of a previously idled Anderson, Indiana facility and the renegotiation of other maintenance agreements. In addition, charges totaling $0.3 million were recorded relative to the closure of our starter and alternator manufacturing operations in Anderson, Indiana in 2003 and the consolidation of operations in Europe.
Operating Income
Operating income of $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 compares with operating income of $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 and reflects the net sales, gross profit, SG&A expense and restructuring charge factors discussed above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense of $20.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 increased $5.1 million from $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase is primarily related to additional borrowings under our senior credit facility and the impact of interest rate increases on our $125.0 million Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes.
Income tax expense of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 consisted of a $0.6 million provision for U.S. federal and state deferred income taxes, domestic state and local taxes of $0.3 million and taxes in various foreign jurisdictions of $1.4 million. Income tax expense of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 consisted of provisions for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax of $0.02 million, domestic state and local taxes of $0.13 million and taxes in various foreign jurisdictions of $1.2 million. In 2003, we established a valuation allowance for substantially all domestic U.S. deferred tax assets. In 2005, we recorded a valuation allowance for the remaining domestic deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance related to the domestic net operating loss generated in the three months ended March 31, 2006
Minority Interest
Minority interest in income of subsidiaries of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 consisted of minority shareholder’s interest in the earnings of our joint venture with International Truck and Engine Corporation and earnings of Hubei Delphi Automotive Generators Company, Ltd., which we refer to as Hubei. The minority interest in income of subsidiaries for the comparable period of first quarter of 2005 remains approximately the same at $1.1 million.
24
Income From Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The income from unconsolidated subsidiaries of $ 0.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 consisted of our share of income recorded by Shaney Paris Rhone Ltd., which we refer to as SPR. The income from unconsolidated subsidiaries for the comparable period of first quarter of 2005 remains approximately the same at $0.1 million.
Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, consisted of losses recorded by our remanufactured transmission and retail gas engine businesses. We recorded an additional gain of $0.1 million in 2006 and $0.2 million in 2005 relative to the sale of Tractech, Inc. and Kraftube, Inc. in 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our short-term liquidity needs include required debt service (including capital lease payments), day-to-day operating expenses, working capital requirements, the payment of customer obligations and the funding of capital expenditures and restructuring actions. Long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of principal payments of long-term debt and payments for contingent earn out arrangements relative to the acquisition of UPC. These contingent earn out payments are based on incremental financial performance objectives above the current performance of the combined electrical aftermarket business and are to be paid over a four-year period. The first measurement year of the earn out did not result in the recording of any liability and the amount of future contingent consideration, if any, is not currently determinable. Our contractual obligations are provided in the table under the section “Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments” appearing below. Our principal payments on long-term capital lease obligations are presented in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of our 2005 Form 10-K.
Our principal sources of cash to fund our short-term liquidity needs consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our senior credit facility. The senior credit facility is collateralized by liens on substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of our domestic and certain of our foreign subsidiaries and by the capital stock of such subsidiaries. At March 31, 2006, the borrowings under the revolving credit facility were comprised of $50.0 million at a LIBOR rate of 6.99%, $1.3 million at a prime rate of 7.75% and letters of credit totaled $7.0 million. Based on the collateral supporting the senior credit facility at March 31, 2006, $86.6 million was available, net of letters of credit. At March 31, 2006, borrowings outstanding under the term loan of the Senior Credit Facility were $80 million, reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet net of the unamortized portion of the original issue discount of $2.1 million. The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the credit facility at March 31, 2006 was 10.96%.
We participate in programs that accelerate the collection of accounts receivable. Under these programs, we sell the accounts of certain aftermarket customers to banks, on a non-recourse basis, at a discount. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the increase in receivables in the U.S. that would occur if these programs were discontinued would be approximately $41.3 million and $47.2 million, respectively. Additionally, at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had approximately $11.7 million and $10.6 million, respectively, factored in Europe.
We believe that cash generated from operations, together with the amounts available under the senior credit facilities and other borrowings, will be adequate to meet our debt service, capital expenditure, restructuring and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
25
Cash used by operating activities of continuing operations of $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 reflected a $4.6 million increase in net working capital (consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities) from year end 2005. Accounts receivable increased $22.5 million and accounts payable increased $26.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to higher sales volume. Inventories increased $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to anticipated higher demand in the second quarter of 2006 for our aftermarket product lines. The net increase in other current assets and liabilities of $1.9 million primarily reflected timing of interest payments. Cash restructuring payments of $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 consisted primarily of settlement of the UAW matter and employee termination payments. Depreciation and amortization and non-cash interest expense was $9.1 million. All other items totaled $2.8 million.
Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 reflected a $2.0 million decrease in net working capital (consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities) from year end 2004 and cash restructuring payments of $0.5 million. Accounts receivable increased $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to stronger first quarter heavy duty OEM, diesel engine and locomotive shipments, partially offset by an increase in accelerated collections under the receivables programs discussed above. Inventories increased $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to builds in support of anticipated higher Electrical Aftermarket sales in the second and third quarters. The $18.0 million increase in accounts payable reflected timing of vendor payments. The net increase in other current assets and liabilities of $7.0 million primarily reflected timing of interest payments. Cash restructuring payments of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 consisted of $0.3 million of employee termination benefits relative to the 2003, 2004 and 2005 restructuring actions and $0.2 million of other items. All other non-cash and reconciling items totaled $1.1 million.
Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations of $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 compares with cash used of $66.7 million in the first quarter of 2005. Acquisition payments in the first quarter of 2006 consisted of payments for the purchase of machinery and equipment relating to the acquisition of Delphi Corporation’s light vehicle alternator business. Acquisition payments in the first quarter of 2005 consisted entirely of payments and costs associated with the acquisition of UPC. Cash proceeds on the sale of Tractech and Kraftube of $0.1 million and $0.2 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Capital expenditures in both 2006 and 2005 were primarily for production, engineering and distribution equipment and include investments associated with the launch of new products.
Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of $18.6 million and $25.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, consisted primarily of borrowings under our senior credit facility.
Contingencies
We are a 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. For a description of certain of our legal proceedings, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1) | These amounts include indebtedness outstanding under our senior notes, senior subordinated notes, senior secured floating rate notes and other debt. |
(2) | Includes $3 million for the balance of 2006 and 19 million for 2007 related to foreign revolving credit agreements which normally will be renewed in 2006 and 2007 with maturity dates of one year or less. |
(3) | Amounts beyond 2006 are not currently estimable. |
(4) | Payments in connection with the acquisition of Delphi Corporation’s light vehicle alternator business, including purchasing its machinery and equipment. |
In addition to the contractual obligations disclosed above, we have a variety of other contractual agreements related to the procurement of materials and other commitments. With respect to these agreements, we are not subject to any contracts that commit us to significant non-cancelable commitments. With respect to agreements related to the procurement of inventory used in our manufacturing and remanufacturing processes, we had approximately $70 million to $90 million of open purchase orders at March 31, 2006.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal, as our major OEM customers historically have one to two week shutdowns of operations during July and December. Our sales results in the third and fourth quarters reflect the effects of these shutdowns. Our working capital requirements also are affected by seasonality, as we build inventory for the summer sales months in the aftermarket. Typically our working capital requirements are highest from April through August and the change from the highest month to the lowest month (typically December) for accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable has averaged approximately $45.9 million over the past three years, excluding UPC.
Foreign Operations
Approximately 21% of our net sales in the three months ending March 31, 2006 were derived from net sales made in foreign countries. We also have manufacturing and other operations located in certain foreign countries. Because of these foreign sales and operations, our business is subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, limits on repatriation of funds, transportation and delivery risks, compliance with foreign laws and other economic and political uncertainties.
Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, we make oral and written statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which we refer to as the Act, or by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, in its rules,
27
regulations and releases. We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions in the Act for forward-looking statements made from time to time, including, but not limited to, the forward-looking statements relating to our future performance contained in this Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and in other filings with the SEC. Any statements set forth in writing or orally by us, other than statements of current or historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and may be identified by words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will” and similar expressions. We caution readers that forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results and performance to differ materially from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following:
| • | | uncertainty of future financial results; |

| • | | the effect of commodity, raw material prices and energy costs; |
| • | | the impact of supply chain cost management initiatives; and |
| • | | the effect of economic conditions and other uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC. |
28
Due to these uncertainties, we cannot assure readers that any forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Factors that May Affect Future Results

29
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2006, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposure as described in Item 7A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
| (a) | The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting it to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports. |
| (b) | In addition, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and, other than as described below, there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is currently implementing a global Enterprise Resource Planning system. |

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are a party to various legal actions in the normal course of our business, including those related to commercial transactions, product liability, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters.
HCSPay Litigation
On January 16, 2006, we initiated litigation in the Circuit Court of Oakland County, Michigan against Hennessey Capital, LLC; HCSPay, LLC; and SurGen, LLC (we refer to the preceding three entities collectively as “Hennessey”) and against Surge Capital; Lancelot Investors Fund LP; Lancelot Investment Management, LLC; AGM II, LLC; and John Maselli (we refer to the preceding five entities collectively as “Surge”). This litigation seeks the return of approximately $6.1 million that we believe is owed to us under a factoring agreement that we entered into with Hennessey plus punitive damages and costs. We allege claims against Hennessey for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. We allege claims against Surge for conversion, unjust enrichment, declaratory judgment, and constructive trust and seek the return of our funds plus punitive damages and costs. This matter is ongoing, and we are pursuing our claims vigorously. At March 31, 2006, we had a receivable recorded of approximately $6.1 million related to this matter.
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 us and Remy, Inc. (“RI”), 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 alleged that the SUB plan provided supplemental unemployment benefits for 52 weeks and separation pay in an amount exceeding $20.0 million 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 sought to enforce terminated provisions of a health care program, which the plaintiffs alleged provided 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 we filed an answer on July 24, 2003. Motions for summary judgment filed by the parties were denied by the court in September 2005. On January 31, 2006, a final settlement agreement and release was entered into by the parties which fully resolved all of the allegations of the complaint. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we and RI agreed to contribute approximately $5.3 million to the SUB plan in return for a release of all claims alleged in the lawsuit, including any further obligations to fund the SUB plan. We paid the $5.3 million and associated payroll taxes of $0.3 million in first quarter of 2006.
31
Prison Labor Matter
In January 2004, a class action on behalf of all prisoners who worked in a South Carolina Department of Corrections (“SCDC”) Services Training Program at Lieber Correctional Institute was brought against the SCDC and our former subsidiary Williams Technologies, Inc. (“Williams”), which was sold to Caterpillar, Inc., in September 2004. The Plaintiffs claim that (a) they should have been paid industry prevailing wages under a South Carolina prison industries authorization statute, (b) the SCDC and Williams violated the Payment of Wages Act and (c) the SCDC and Williams committed a tort under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act. Under the terms of the sale, we retained liability and responsibility for this claim. The Circuit Court for Dorchester County granted summary judgment to us on April 21, 2005, and decertified the Plaintiff class. On January 24, 2006, the Plaintiff filed an appellate brief and Williams responded to this brief in March 2006. We continue to deny the material allegations of the complaint and any wrongdoing. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
Import/Export Matters
We continue to expand globally to take advantage of global economic conditions and related cost structures. We are subject to various duties and import/export taxes. We actively review our import/export processes in North America, Europe and Asia to verify the appropriate import duty classification, value and duty rate, including import value added tax. As part of this review process, we identified a potential exposure related to customs duties in the United States. Upon resolution of these interpretations, duties due from us could range from $0 to $12.2 million. We paid $1.0 million in 2005 and at March 31, 2006 had accrued approximately $7.1 million related to this matter.
Franklin Power Products Facility
In September 2000, one of Franklin Power Products, Inc.’s Indiana facilities received a Finding of Violation and Order for Compliance (the “Order”) from the EPA requiring the facility to correct violations of its wastewater discharge permits. Franklin Power Products, Inc. installed wastewater treatment equipment and is in compliance with the terms of the Order and has eliminated the discharge. In July 2004, we and Franklin Power Products, Inc. entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA, which tolled the statute of limitations on the EPA’s potential claim for penalties. Since that time, we have been cooperating with the EPA by providing additional information and have entered into settlement negotiations with the EPA and the Department of Justice. On April 12, 2006, we and the EPA reached a settlement for $0.9 million and entered into a consent decree to resolve this matter. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a liability of approximately $0.9 million related to this issue.
