NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.
Note B - Debt
On October 13, 1999, Comerica Bank approved a one year extension of the
Company's $25,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Under the
agreement the Company has the option to convert borrowings thereunder
(classified as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 2002, the
expiration date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if the
conversion option is exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend to
October 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2000, there were no outstanding borrowings
under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.
Note C - Dividends
Cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the
respective dates of declaration.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's third quarter ended March
31, 2000, increased $1,561,000, or 5.0%, compared with net sales for the
third quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the nine month period ended
March 31, 2000, increased $2,970,000, or 3.4%, compared with the nine month
period of the prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to our
participation in a new truck program, and increased automotive and
refrigeration sales.
Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2000, increased
$378,000, or 7.9%, as compared with gross profit for the third quarter of the
prior year. Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 2000,
decreased $87,000, or 0.7%, as compared with the nine month period of the
prior year. The decrease is attributable mainly to increased manufacturing
costs and continual pricing pressures from our customers.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $100,000, or 5.4%, for the
third quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the third quarter of the
prior year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $122,000, or 2.3%,
as compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1999. The increase is
mainly attributable to increases in compensation and related expenses.
The Registrant's Shareholders are aware of the Registrant's dependence upon
sales to the two largest U.S. automobile manufacturers, a condition that has
existed for at least fifty years. Although the Registrant has purchase orders
from such customers, such purchase orders generally provide for supplying the
customer's requirements for a particular model or model year rather than for
manufacturing
- 6 -
a specific quantity of products. The loss of any one of such customers or
significant purchase orders could have a material adverse effect on the
Registrant. These customers are also able to exert considerable pressure on
component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality and provide additional
design and engineering capabilities. There can be no assurance that the
additional costs of increased quality standards, price reductions or
additional capabilities required by such customers will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Registrant.
YEAR 2000 MATTERS: The Company completed a comprehensive review of its
operations related to the "Year 2000" issue during fiscal 1998 and calendar
1999. This review included an assessment of the Company's mainframe computer
system, operating and application systems, microcomputer and office systems,
facilities, and production equipment. This review also included
correspondence with major vendors and customers. Management believes it has
identified those systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue.
Based on this review, the Company implemented a plan to resolve these issues.
The Company has not experienced any problems related to the "Year 2000"
issue, and management does not expect the Company to experience any
significant problems in the future. The total "Year 2000" project cost was
approximately $400,000, which included costs to acquire upgraded software
that was capitalized. These costs have been paid for with cash from
operations.
DIVIDENDS: The Board of Directors, in February, 2000, declared a $.10 per
share quarterly dividend paid April 3, 2000, to shareholders of record March
6, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Working capital increased by $1,653,000 from
$16,656,000 at June 30, 1999, to $18,309,000 at March 31, 2000.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had available $25,000,000 under its bank
credit agreement.
Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended March 31, 2000, were
approximately $5.6 million, and, for the year, are expected to approximate
$7.1 million, of which approximately $2.4 million has been committed as of
March 31, 2000.
There have been no material changes concerning environmental matters since
those reported in the Registrant's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The foregoing discussion and analysis contains a
number of "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with
respect to expectations for future periods which are subject to various
uncertainties, including competition, Information Systems issues related to
the Year 2000, the loss of, or reduction in business with, the Company's
principal customers, work stoppages, strikes and slowdowns at the Company's
facilities and those of its customers; adverse changes in economic conditions
generally and those of the automotive industry, specifically.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's market risk is limited to interest rate risk on its
revolving credit and term loan agreement. At March 31, 2000, the carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, debt and investments approximate fair value. Accordingly,
management believes this risk is not material.

Capital Resources discussion in Item 2 of Part I concerning environmental
matters is incorporated by reference.

located at Romulus, Michigan, to Kreher Wire Processing Inc. The transaction
resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $1,700,000, or $1.59 per
share. Management does not expect this transaction to affect the core
operations of the Company.
