of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options were
greater than the average market price for the common shares for the period.
NOTE 5 - ACQUISITION
Effective February 1, 1999, the Company purchased 100% of the
outstanding stock of A/C Plus, Inc., ("A/C Plus") an air conditioning compressor
remanufacturer located in Arlington, Texas. A/C Plus had sales of approximately
$2.9 million in fiscal 1998. The transaction was structured with a purchase
price of $2.25 million cash paid at closing and a promissory note of $0.25
million payable on the second anniversary of the closing. Concurrent with the
purchase, the Company repaid $0.5 million in working capital debt on behalf of
A/C Plus. The purchase price and working capital repayment were financed through
the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. Goodwill of $2.1 million was recorded in connection with the
transaction and is being amortized over 20 years.
NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging contracts. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 does not currently apply to the
Company and accordingly will not have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
Net sales for the first quarter of 1999 increased $6.7 million, or
13.2% to $57.3 million compared with $50.6 million in the first quarter of 1998.
Sales in the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems business increased by $7.7
million or 25.8% from the comparable 1998 quarter, due to volume increases in
both the radiator and heater product lines coupled with sales from Evap, Inc.,
acquired effective August 1, 1998 and A/C Plus, acquired effective February 1,
1999, which contributed $3.6 million to the first quarter 1999 increase. Sales
in the OEM Heat Transfer Systems business declined by $1.2 million compared with
the same 1998 quarter, reflecting the catch up in the first quarter of 1998 of
overdue orders from 1997. Sales in the Specialty Metal Fabrication Business
reflected a slight increase from the comparable 1998 quarter, due to an increase
in vehicle conversion revenues, offset by a decline in specialty fabricated
metal products.
Gross margins of 25.3% for the first quarter of 1999 increased from the
22.9% achieved in the first quarter of 1998, primarily due to higher volume in
the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems business and the addition of Evap,
Inc. and A/C Plus, which favorably impacted the gross margin percentage. The
Specialty Metal Fabrication business comparable margins declined primarily due
to the additional costs associated with the new metal fabrication facility in
Plano, Texas, which came on line in the second quarter of 1998. Gross margins in
the OEM heat transfer business improved and were positive in the first quarter,
compared with negative margins in the prior year first quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $1.5
million or 13.8%, but were essentially flat as a percentage of sales. SG&A in
the Aftermarket Heating and Cooling business reflected higher volume and the
inclusion of expenses associated with the Evap and A/C Plus operations. SG&A in
the Specialty Metal Fabrication business increased slightly, due to costs
associated with the new Plano metal fabrication facility.
Net interest expense increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of
1999 compared with the first quarter of 1998 as a function of increased debt
levels in the first quarter of 1999 associated with acquisitions compared with
the first quarter of 1998.
The Company's effective tax rate of 42.5% for the first quarter of 1999
is comprised of the U. S. Federal income tax rate, plus the estimated aggregate
effective rate for state and local income taxes. The rate increased from the
first quarter 1998 rate of 40.8%, to reflect a higher level of non-tax
deductible expenses expected in 1999.
Net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $0.5 million, or $.08 per
basic common share and $.07 per diluted common share, compared with a net loss
of $0.1 million, or $.02 per basic and diluted common share in the first quarter
of 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In July 1998, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement
(the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with five banking institutions to replace
its 1995 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement in order to increase the
amount of and extend the commitment period for bank financing. The Revolving
Credit Agreement provides for secured borrowings or the issuance of letters of
credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75 million. The Revolving Credit
Agreement is secured by a blanket first perfected security interest in
substantially all of the Company's assets plus a pledge of the stock of the
Company's subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2003.
The security interest in the Company's assets and the pledge of the Company's
subsidiaries' stock are eligible for release commencing March 31, 1999 if the
Company achieves certain senior debt ratings or if certain financial ratios are
met and maintained.
Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are
determined by a borrowing base consisting of the Company's eligible (i) accounts
receivable, (ii) inventory and (iii) fixed assets, as adjusted by an advance
rate. The aggregate amount of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is
automatically reduced by $0.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 1999; by $1.25 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 2000; and by $1.5 million at the end of each calendar quarter
through June 30, 2003. The Revolving Credit Agreement bears interest at variable
rates based, at the Company's option on either (a) a Eurodollar loan rate plus
an applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), or
(b) (i) the higher of the BankBoston, N.A. base lending rate and (ii) one-half
of one percent above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined, plus an
applicable margin based upon the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to
EBITDA. A commitment fee of .25% or .375% based upon the ratio of the Company's
total funded debt to EBITDA on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving
Credit Agreement is payable quarterly, in arrears.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which, among
other things, require maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and debt
service coverage and a maximum level of debt to EBITDA and debt to net worth, as
well as covenants which place limits on dividend payments in excess of $2.0
million per year and capital expenditures in excess of 140% of such year's
depreciation expense.
At March 31, 1999, borrowings were approximately $38.9 million under
the Company's revolving credit agreement. The Company also has $13 million of
borrowings under floating rate industrial revenue bonds, of which $8.0 million
matures in the year 2010 and $5.0 million matures in the year 2013. The bonds
bear interest based upon a short-term tax-exempt bond index. Outstanding letters
of credit totaled approximately $19 million at March 31, 1999. Of the total
letters of credit outstanding, $13.0 million supported the borrowings under
floating rate industrial revenue bonds.
During the first three months of 1999, the Company required $4.2
million of cash to support its operations. Inventory increased $7.4 million,
primarily to support the second and third quarter peak selling
10
11
season for Aftermarket Heating and Cooling Systems products. Accounts receivable
increased $2.1 million reflecting the higher sales volumes during the first
quarter. A net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $2.4
million of cash. Net income plus total adjustments to reconcile net income to
net cash used in operating activities generated $2.7 million of cash.
Capital spending during the first three months of 1999 totaled $2.3
million. The acquisition of AC Plus required $2.3 million. The Company paid a
cash dividend of $0.05 per common share totaling $0.3 million during the first
three months of 1999. Net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement
increased by $9.4 million from December 31, 1998, to finance the operating and
other cash requirements of the Company.
The future liquidity and ordinary capital needs of the Company in the
near term are expected to be met from operations. The Company's working capital
requirements peak during the second and third quarters, reflecting the normal
seasonality of the heat transfer aftermarket. The Company believes that the
Revolving Credit Agreement, along with cash flow from operations, will be
adequate to meet near term anticipated ordinary capital expenditure and working
capital requirements as well as seasonal working capital requirements. However,
the capital for major growth initiatives may exceed the aggregate amount of
borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Agreement. If this were to
occur, the Company would have to seek additional sources of capital. However, no
assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in securing
additional sources of capital.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue results from computer system software using only
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year for a
transaction. Such software may not recognize a date identified as "00" or may
assume the year 1900 instead of 2000. In the worst case, this may result in
system failure or miscalculation causing disruption of operations, including but
not limited to, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices,
generate disbursement checks or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company's Year 2000 initiative consists of: (i) performing an
inventory of all computer, facility and manufacturing equipment and external
business partners which may be Year 2000 sensitive; (ii) assessing that
inventory for Year 2000 compliance; (iii) developing a plan to remediate or
replace non Year 2000 compliant inventory items; and (iv) the implementation of
that plan, including remediation, replacement, testing and contingency
arrangements, as necessary.
The Company has identified an information systems platform which is
Year 2000 compliant and to which the majority of current systems employed by the
Company will be converted. The conversion project began in 1996 and is expected
to be completed during the third quarter of 1999. Hardware, software and other
capitalizable costs will be capitalized and expensed over the useful life of the
system. All other project costs will be expensed as incurred. The total cost of
the Year 2000 project is currently estimated to be $2.5 million, of which $1.8
million is for capitalizable hardware and software costs. To date, the Company
has spent approximately $1.9 million on this project, of which $1.5 million was
for capitalizable hardware and software costs.
During 1998, the Company initiated formal communications with its
information technology hardware and software providers, all of its significant
vendors, service providers, lenders and large customers to determine the extent
to which it is vulnerable to the Year 2000 issue externally. The Company
believes that with the completion of its Year 2000 initiatives, as scheduled,
the possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations should be
significantly reduced. However, no assurance can be given that the systems of
other companies on which the Company relies will be Year 2000 compliant on
11
12
a timely basis, that the Year 2000 systems of other companies will be compatible
with the Company's system or that other external Year 2000 issues would not have
a material impact on the Company's operations. Contingency plans are being
developed as necessary, to mitigate the impact of non year 2000 compliant
external issues which, in the worst case, may result in source of supply issues
with suppliers or the inability of customers to order product.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - CAUTIONARY FACTORS
Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature
are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain
detailed factors that could cause the Company's actual results to materially
differ from the forward-looking statements made by the Company. In particular,
statements relating to the future financial performance of the Company are
subject to business conditions and growth in the general economy and automotive
and truck business, the impact of competitive products and pricing, changes in
customer product mix, failure to obtain new customers or retain old customers or
changes in the financial stability of customers, changes in the cost of raw
materials, components or finished products and changes in interest rates.
Improvements in manufacturing efficiencies and reduction of costs are subject to
a number of factors, including but not limited to, the ability of management to
implement improvements in workforce efficiencies and the timing of such
improvements. Statements regarding the Company's Year 2000 project are subject
to numerous factors, including but not limited to, the availability and cost of
trained personnel, the ability to effect the timely conversion of all relevant
systems and the effectiveness of contingency plans for non year 2000 compliant
issues.
