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 six month period ended February 28, 1995 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

Note 2. (cont.'d)
- -----------------
In 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 six months ended February 28,
1995 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.
- -------
In February 1995, the company renegotiated its revolving credit
agreement (RCA). Under the terms of the new agreement with twelve
banking institutions, the company has the availability through March 1,
2000 of maximum borrowings of $530,000,000. The prior agreement
provided for maximum borrowings of $375,000,000 and was due to expire on
September 1, 1999. At February 28, 1995, there were no borrowings under
the RCA.
In March 1995, the company entered into a new credit agreement with a
United Kingdom bank enabling it to borrow up to $20,000,000 through
March 1, 1998. The prior agreement with the same United Kingdom bank
provided for borrowings up to $15,000,000 and was due to expire on March
31, 1995. At February 28, 1995, there were no borrowings under the United
Kingdom credit agreement.
Commercial paper, domestic notes payable and a note with a German Bank
at February 28, 1995, have been classified as long-term debt because of
the company's intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the
availability of such financing under the terms of the RCA. The weighted
average interest rates on commercial paper and domestic notes payable at
February 28, 1995, were 6.08 and 6.35 percent, respectively, while the
German note payable accrued interest at 5.31 percent.

MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Results of Operations:
- ----------------------
For the three and six months ended February 28, 1995, net sales
increased 30 percent and 25 percent, respectively, over the
corresponding periods of a year ago. The performance of both the
domestic and foreign operations is strong due to the growth in
market demand for automotive products. Recent acquisitions have
also favorably impacted this growth.
Net sales of comparable operations, those part of Echlin for at
least twelve months, rose 16 and 13 percent for the three and six
month periods, respectively, due to unit volume gains, price
increases, the introduction of new products, and the impact of
translation. For the quarter and six months, unit volume rose 10
and 7 percent, respectively, while sales for both periods increased
by 1 percent due to changes in translation rates. Higher reported
sales were the result of a weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation
to the German mark, British pound and Australian dollar partially
offset by the Mexican peso devaluation which lowered sales by
$3,900,000 and $4,900,000 for the quarter and six month periods.
Domestic comparable operations were up 14 percent for the quarter
and 11 percent for the six months. While sales of all product
lines show improvement over last year, our automotive brake group
continues to be the strongest performer. During the second quarter
and six month period, foreign comparable operations rose 19 and 20
percent, respectively, as our United Kingdom and German operations
showed the largest improvements.
The gross profit to sales percentage for the second quarter
remained flat at 28.7 percent, while for the six months the
percentage increased to 29.0 percent from 28.9 percent a year ago.
Both periods were impacted by the acquisition of PTG, whose sales
are primarily to original equipment manufacturers at gross profit
percentages below Echlin's historical levels. Excluding PTG, the
gross profit percentage exceeded the prior year by 1 percent for
the quarter and .6 percent for the six months due to increased
production levels and ongoing cost containment efforts.
Although selling and administrative expenses increased for the
three and six month periods, these expenses declined as a
percentage of sales. For the second quarter they declined to 20.9
percent from 21.7 percent a year ago, while for the six month
period expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 21.0 percent
vs 21.7 percent last year. The dollar increase for both periods
was primarily due to the higher sales volume and expense levels
generated by acquisitions during the past year, as well as higher
8
ECHLIN INC.
MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (cont.'d)
research and development spending in the second quarter by our
German automotive operation. The acquisition of PTG had the impact
of lowering the selling and administrative expense percentage of
sales by 1.1 percent for the quarter and .5 percent for the six
months. PTG's operating expenses are lower than Echlin's
historical levels due to the customer class they service.
Net interest expense for the three month period increased
$3,900,000, while for the six month period it increased $5,287,000
as compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher average
interest rates and debt levels.
While sales for the quarter and six months were reduced due to the
Mexican devaluation, net income for both periods was not materially
impacted as a result of actions taken by the company to increase
exports, raise selling prices and control costs.
Net income for the six months ended February 28, 1994 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 six months of fiscal 1995, operations used
$40,333,000 vs a year ago when operations provided $8,758,000. The
increase in funds caused by the net income improvement was offset
by larger cash outflows for working capital items. Accounts
receivable were higher due to increased sales levels while
inventories have been increased in order to maintain customer line
fill levels during higher sales periods forecasted for the
remainder of the fiscal year. Higher outflows were also generated
due to the timing of liability payments.
Net debt levels increased $243,899,000 from year end primarily due
to working capital requirements, current year capital expenditures,
and funds required to acquire PTG. Total debt to total capital was
40 percent, up from 30 percent a year ago and 28 percent at August
31, 1994. During the current fiscal quarter, the Mexican peso
devaluation reduced shareholder's equity by approximately $16.7
million reflecting a reduction in the U.S. dollar value of the net
assets invested in Mexico.
The company recently renegotiated the terms of its revolving credit
agreement (RCA) and its credit line with a United Kingdom bank.

ECHLIN INC.
MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (cont.'d)
Under the new RCA, the company has availability through March 1,
2000 of maximum borrowings of $530,000,000. This replaces an
agreement which provided for borrowings up to $375,000,000 through
September 1, 1999. In March, the company entered into a new
agreement with a United Kingdom bank which provides for the
availability of $20,000,000 through March 1, 1998. The prior
agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 1995,
provided for $15,000,000 of available funds.
Net capital expenditures, which were $15,703,000 above last year,
primarily represent outlays for the purchase of manufacturing
facilities in Indiana and the United Kingdom, tooling for new
products and machinery intended to increase and improve our
manufacturing capacity.
Echlin's Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly
dividend to 20.5 cents per share, payable April 18, 1995 to
shareholders of record on April 11, 1995. This increase represents
an 8 percent increase over the previous rate of 19 cents per share.
