Report on Review by Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors
Hastings Manufacturing Company
Hastings, Michigan
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of
Hastings Manufacturing Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, included in the
accompanying Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q for the period
ended March 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein). In our report
dated March 3, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Company and subsidiaries (Company), the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all normal recurring adjustments considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.
Note 2 The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the
results for all of 1995.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
==================================================
Net Sales
Net sales in the first quarter of 1995 decreased $549,760, or 3.5%, from
$16,929,483 in the first quarter of 1994 to $16,334,723. The decline
primarily resulted from the 1994 inclusion of the sale of technology and
equipment to a foreign customer and, as discussed below, the Company's
inability to meet customer demand during the quarter due to inventory
shortages. Certain product sales have been slightly higher in 1995 with
brand and export piston ring increases offset somewhat by a lower
distributor filter sales volume. The distributor filter sales volume was
down due, in part, to Company inventory shortages subsequent to a
successful December 1994 promotion. Attainment of increased inventory
levels necessary to support customer demand is anticipated during the
second quarter. The piston ring volume likewise experienced some level of
inventory shortages. The recent conversion to a new production control
framework is expected to contribute to an improved product availability
level.
Net sales in the first quarter of 1994 increased $1,020,166, or 6.4%, from
$15,909,317 in the first quarter of 1993 to $16,929,483. That increase
resulted from higher piston ring sales within the Company's traditional
distributor network and from the inclusion of a portion of the proceeds
from the noted sale of technology and equipment. The sale of manufactured
filter parts to a competitor also increased during the first half of 1994,
although that volume will decline in 1995 as that customer converts to
additional in-house sourcing.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales during the first quarter of 1995 increased $183,157, or 1.6%,
from $11,120,874 in 1994 to $11,304,031. As a percent of net sales, cost
of sales during the first quarter of 1995 increased 3.5% from 65.7% to
69.2%. This increase resulted in a reduced gross profit margin from 34.3%
in 1994 to 30.8% in the current quarter. The gross profit related to the
technology and equipment sale contributed favorably to the 1994
performance. The current quarter's gross profit performance, while
comparable to the fourth quarter of 1994, was reduced by the sales mix
change noted above. Higher relative brand and export volumes, with lower
incremental gross profit margins, added to the first quarter's performance.
Lower margins on those sales segments are offset by lower required sales
and administrative support costs.
Cost of sales during the first quarter of 1994 increased $294,816 or 2.7%
from $10,826,058 in 1993 to $11,120,874. As a percent of net sales, cost
of sales during the first quarter of 1994 decreased 2.4% from 68.1% to
65.7%. This reduction resulted in an increased gross profit margin from
-9-
Hastings Manufacturing Company and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
==================================================
31.9% in 1993 to 34.3% in 1994. Volume increases attained in late 1993
carried over as cost efficiencies into early 1994 through lower direct
labor and fixed overhead costs for many of the Company's products. In
addition, the gross profit related to the technology and equipment sale
contributed to the favorable 1994 gross profit result.
Expenses
Total expenses during the first quarter of 1995, excluding interest
expense, decreased $228,590, or 4.2%, from $5,415,554 to $5,186,964.
Advertising expenses decreased $48,053 due to lower printed materials
purchases and lower cooperative advertising promotions. Selling expenses
decreased $297,424 due to a reduction in inventory conversion efforts
related to new account activity and the absence in 1995 of a marketing
assistance program as extended in 1994 to our export representative.
General and administrative expenses decreased $97,886 due to lower employee
education costs in the current quarter and a lower initial estimate for
retiree medical care costs for 1995. The "other, net" amount for 1994
reflects a one-time gain on the sale of a warehouse facility. Excluding
this one-time gain, first quarter 1995 total expenses, excluding interest
expense, are down $449,444, or 8.0%, compared to first quarter 1994.
Total expenses during the first quarter of 1994, excluding interest
expense, increased $593,001, or 12.3%, from $4,822,553 to $5,415,554.
Selling expenses increased $359,375 due to increased inventory conversion
efforts through that period related to the buying group members and to the
noted marketing assistance program absorbed throughout 1994. General and
administrative expenses increased $349,794 as a result of increased group
health costs, increased compensation costs driven by wage adjustments and
increased employee education costs as the Company initiated various
employee and systems development programs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $26,937, or 12.6%, from $214,113 in the first
quarter of 1994 to $241,050. The level of outstanding total debt during
the first quarter of 1995 was higher than the level during the first
quarter of 1994. Most of the Company's variable-rate debt is covered by an
interest rate swap agreement with a fixed rate of 6.92%. The balance of
the Company's variable-rate borrowings, however, reflect the interest rate
increases experienced during the second half of 1994 and early 1995.
Interest expense decreased $23,229, or 9.8%, from $237,342 in the first
quarter of 1993 to $214,113. The level of outstanding short-term debt
increased in early 1994 from early 1993 due to increased working capital

==================================================
needs; however, the Company reduced the amount of outstanding long-term
debt through its scheduled principal payments. The Company's interest
rates were lower during the first quarter of 1994 due primarily to lower
variable rates on certain of its borrowings and a lower fixed interest rate
in the interest rate swap agreement covering the 1994 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary cash requirements are for operating expenses,
including labor costs and raw materials, and for funding of accounts
receivable, capital expenditures and long-term debt service. Historically,
the Company's primary sources of cash have been from operations and from
bank borrowings. The Company expects to continue to generate cash from
these sources.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company used $383,499 of cash for
operating activities. Finished goods inventories increased at March 31,
1995, following the December 1994 sales promotion, which resulted in
inventory shortages during the quarter, and in anticipation of demand
during the next two quarters. In addition, the Company reduced the level
of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first quarter
via scheduled payments to vendors and payment of accruals for rebate and
promotional programs driven by the late 1994 operating results. Such cash
needs were partly offset by a reduction of approximately $1.25 million in
trade accounts receivable. The remaining cash needs were financed by an
increase in the short-term borrowings under the Company's lines of credit.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company used $962,603 of cash for
operating activities. The 1994 first quarter's factors were similar to the
1995 items with increased inventories and decreased payables and accruals
offset by a decline in accounts receivable.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company invested $245,784 in new
equipment to expand certain production capabilities within its existing
facilities. Capital equipment expenditures for 1995 are expected to be
considerably lower than 1994 when a total of $3,530,848 was used for
capital expenditures. During the first quarter of that year, the Company
invested $931,583 in new machinery and equipment. That outlay was part of
an effort to increase certain production capacities within the Company's
existing facilities. During the first quarter of 1994, the Company also
sold a warehouse facility for approximately $225,000 for cash and a note
receivable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
==================================================
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company extended its short-term lines
of credit with two of its current banks by an aggregate amount of $2.5
million. With the traditional soft first quarter results anticipated and
the need to replenish the finished goods inventories, that added line
capacity was considered appropriate. As of March 31, 1995, the Company had
available approximately $4.3 million of unused capacity under its short-
term lines of credit. The Company believes that current financing
agreements with its lenders, along with the cash flow generated by future
operating activities, will be sufficient to meet its working capital,
capital expenditure and dividend requirements through 1995.
