NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. General:
- ----------------
The accompanying unaudited 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
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended November 30, 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending August 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1994.
NOTE 2. Business Combinations:
- ------------------------------
During October, 1994 the company acquired the outstanding common stock of
the Theodore Bargman Company, an Indiana based manufacturer of lighting
products, electrical connectors and hardware for recreational vehicles and
mobile homes, by issuing 217,428 shares of Echlin Inc. common stock. The
transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and as a
result the financial statements for the three months ended November 30,
1994 include Bargman's results of operations. Since the acquisition did
not have a material impact on the company, prior years' results have not
been restated.
NOTE 3. Subsequent Event:
- -------------------------
During December, 1994 the company purchased the common stock of Preferred
Technical Group International, Inc. (PTG), based in Rochester Hills,
Michigan, for approximately $190 million. PTG manufactures coupled hose
assemblies for motor vehicle brake, power steering, air conditioning and
heating systems, and extruded plastic for automobile, truck and industrial
applications. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method.

MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Results of Operations:
Net sales for the first three months of fiscal 1995 increased
$101,351,000 or 20.3 percent as compared to the same period a year
ago. This growth is largely attributable to higher unit volume and
the impact of recent acquisitions. Domestic comparable operations
net sales increased 7.5 percent while foreign comparable operations
increased 20.1 percent. These favorable results primarily relate to
unit volume growth as the demand for replacement parts continues to
be strong in most markets. Our automotive brake and international
businesses provided the strongest improvements this quarter. The
results were also positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S.
dollar in relation to the British pound and German mark.
The percentage of gross profit to sales for the quarter increased to
29.3 percent from 29.1 percent due primarily to higher domestic
production levels.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $18,232,000 or 16.9
percent over the prior year. Expenses as a percentage of sales
declined favorably to 21.0 percent from 21.6 percent a year ago.
The dollar increase is attributable to the higher sales volume and
expense levels generated by acquisitions.
Net interest expense increased $1,387,000 over the previous year
primarily due to higher average interest rates and debt levels.
Net income for the quarter ended November 30, 1993 included income
of $2,583,000, which represented the cumulative effect of adopting
the provisions of FAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Liquidity and Sources of Capital:
During the first three months of fiscal 1995, operations used
$15,149,000 of cash vs. the prior year when operations provided
$12,996,000 of cash. This year, the increase in net income was
offset by larger cash outflows reflecting changes in working capital
items, primarily accounts receivable and inventory. Accounts
receivable were higher due to the growth in sales. Inventory levels
are being increased in anticipation of higher demand for our
products during the second half of the fiscal year.
The debt level at November 30, 1994 increased $40,732,000 from year-
end primarily due to working capital requirements and funding of
current-year capital expenditures. Total debt as a percentage of
total capital was 29 percent at November 30, 1994 as compared to 28
percent at August 31, 1994.
