NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the notes
thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all
adjustments considered necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair
statement of the results of interim periods presented. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the entire year.
Where appropriate, certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to
conform with the 1995 presentation.
Note 2
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities". Prior years' financial statements have not
been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No.115. The adoption of the
standard had an immaterial impact on the Company's financial position and
results of operations for the period ending June 30, 1995.
At June 30, 1995, held-to-maturity securities amounted to approximately
$11,003,000 and trading securities amounted to approximately $1,784,000.
Held-to-maturity securities consist primarily of U.S. Treasury Bills and
corporate debt securities which are reported at unamortized cost which
approximates fair value. As of June 30, 1995, $6,203,000 of the
held-to-maturity securities mature within one year and $4,800,000 mature
within five to ten years.
The first-in, first-out method is used in computing realized gains or losses.

Note 5
The provision for taxes is less than the normal statutory rate primarily because
earnings of a subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico, amounting to approximately
$5,716,000 and $4,063,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively, are exempt from United States income taxes and are
partially exempt from Puerto Rican income taxes.
Note 6
At June 30, 1995, 431,000 shares of authorized but unissued common
stock were reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option plans, of

required to repay the loan in full in 1995. The Company also entered into an
interest rate swap agreement. The swap agreement modifies the interest rate
on the $15,000,000 senior note agreement, adjusted favorably or unfavorably
for the spread between 5.66% and the 6-month reserve unadjusted London
Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR").

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 7 (Continued)
The Credit Agreement matures in varying annual installments through 1998 and
bears interest at the lower of 91% of prime rate, or 91% of the "LIBOR" plus
1.092%. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its Credit Agreement. The
swap agreement modifies the interest rate on $5,737,500 of the Credit
Agreement, adjusted favorably or unfavorably for the spread between 77.52% of
the 3-month reserve unadjusted "LIBOR" and 7.69%. The proceeds of such
note were loaned to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be distributed in
accordance with the terms of the ESOP established in 1989.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other parties to the interest rate swap agreements. However, the Company
does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
The purchase obligations, due under agreements with municipalities, mature in
annual installments through 2003, and are secured by certain property, plant,
and equipment.
The floating rate purchase obligation matures in annual installments through
1999, bears interest at sixty-five percent of prime, and is secured by certain
property, plant and equipment.
The mortgage payable is due in installments through 1995.
Certain loan agreements require the maintenance of a specified amount of working
capital and limit, among other items, investments, leases, indebtedness and
distributions for the payment of dividends and the acquisition of capital stock.
At June 30, 1995, the Company had unrestricted retained earnings of
$16,329,000.
Note 8
In February 1995 the Company acquired, for approximately $3,900,000, the
assets and certain liabilities of PIK-A-NUT Corporation. Located in
Huntington, Indiana, PIK-A-NUT Corporation distributes a complete line of
general fasteners, brass fittings, expansion plugs and clamps primarily to the
automotive aftermarket. This acquisition will expand the capability of
Standard's Champ Service Line Division to supply a full line of service products
to the automotive aftermarket. The acquisition had an immaterial effect on
consolidated net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
In June 1995, the Company acquired, for approximately $4,000,000, the assets
and certain liabilities of Automotive Dryers, Inc. and Air Parts, Inc.
Automotive Dryers, Inc. manufactures and distributes receiver filter dryers and
accumulators for mobile air conditioning systems. Air Parts, Inc. is a
distributor of parts for mobile air conditioning systems. These acquisitions,
located in Cumming, Georgia, expand the manufacturing and distribution
capabilities of Standard's Four Seasons Temperature Control Systems Division.
The acquisition had an immaterial effect on consolidated net earnings for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.
Note 9
Other assets consist of deferred charges, unamortized customer supply
agreements, long-term investments, unamortized goodwill, equity in joint
ventures, pension assets, security deposits and receivables due after one year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
As of June 30, 1995, the Company was in a liquid position with stockholders'
equity of $207,157,000 and working capital of $189,449,000. The Company
expects capital expenditures to be approximately $9,000,000 for new machinery
and equipment for the remainder of 1995. At June 30, 1995, the Company had
unused lines of credit aggregating approximately $19,000,000 which will be used
as a source of funding working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
This amount includes a line of credit increase of $5,000,000 in June 1995. In
July 1995, the Company further expanded its credit lines by an additional
$5,000,000. The Company anticipates that its present sources of funds under
the expanded credit lines will continue to be adequate to meet its needs.
As part of an ongoing operating strategy, the Company is reviewing potential
acquisition candidates in related automotive component businesses. If such
an acquisition is made, additional sources of capital could be required. It
presently is anticipated that any such acquisition could be funded in the
short term by presently available lines of credit with new long term financing
to follow.
INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1995 to the three months
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ended June 30, 1994.
--------------------
Net sales for the current quarter decreased $3,605,000 or 1.9% from the
comparable quarter in 1994. Sales decreases in most divisions were offset by a
sales increase in the Temperature Control Systems division and new sales from
1995 acquisitions. Sales decreases were mainly due to customers carrying
relatively large inventories into the second quarter, partially due to the mild
winter.
The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 1995 of 33.0% was below
the 34.1% during the comparable quarter in 1994. This increase in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net sales primarily reflects the Company's continued
expansion into non-traditional markets, which generally have lower gross
margins, but require less selling, general and administrative support expense.
Partially offsetting this factor was the Company's continuing cost reduction
programs.
Selling, general and administrative (S.G. & A.) expenses decreased by
$2,429,000 over the comparable quarter in 1994. This decrease was primarily
due to lower new customer acquisition costs, lower commission fees, variable
distribution expenses and marketing cooperative programs due to decreased
sales and the Company's continuing cost reduction programs. As a percentage of
net sales, S.G.& A expenses declined to 25.4% in 1995 compared to 26.2% in 1994.
Other income - net increased $676,000 primarily due to higher earnings at Blue
Streak Electronics, Inc., our Canadian joint venture that rebuilds automotive
computers, and a higher rate of return on investments, partially offset by an
increase in the loss on sale of accounts receivable.
Interest expense increased by $652,000 due primarily to higher average
borrowings and secondarily to a slightly higher average borrowing rate on
total borrowings.
Taxes based on earnings decreased by $853,000 due to a lower effective tax
rate of 24.2% in 1995 as compared to 29.9% in 1994 and lower earnings.
The lower effective tax rate in 1995 was primarily due to the higher relative
earnings of the Company's Puerto Rican and Hong Kong subsidiaries.
- 9 -
INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1995 to the six months
------------------------------------------------------------------
ended June 30, 1994.
--------------------
Net sales for the six months increased $8,989,000 or 2.7% from the comparable
period in 1994. A significant sales increase at the Temperature Control Systems
Division and sales from 1995 acquisitions were partially offset by slight sales
decreases at each of the remaining divisions.
The gross margin percentage for the six months period in 1995 of 33.4% was
below the 34.1% during the comparable period in 1994. This increase in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of net sales reflects the Company's continued
expansion into non-traditional markets, which generally have lower gross
margins, but require less selling, general and administrative support expense.
Partially offsetting this factor was the Company's continuing cost reduction
programs.
Selling, general and administrative (S.G. & A.) expenses were virtually
unchanged versus the comparable period in 1994. As a percentage of net sales,
S.G.& A. expenses declined to 27.0% in 1995 compared to 27.7% in 1994. This
percentage decrease was due in part to the continued expansion into
non-traditional markets which require less selling, general and administrative
support expense, and the Company's continuing cost reduction programs.
Other income - net increased $826,000 primarily due to higher earnings at Blue
Streak Electronics, Inc., our Canadian joint venture that rebuilds automotive
computers and a higher rate of return on investments, partially offset by an
increase in the loss on sale of accounts receivable.
Interest expense increased by $922,000 due primarily to higher average
borrowings and a slightly higher average effective borrowing rate on total
borrowings.
Taxes based on earnings decreased by $583,000 due to a lower effective tax
rate of 25.1% in 1995 as compared to 29.9% in 1994. The lower effective
tax rate in 1995 was primarily due to the higher relative earnings of the
Company's Puerto Rican and Hong Kong subsidiaries. The impact on taxes
of the lower effective tax rate was partially offset by higher earnings.
