NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS) 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Talon Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company reports quarterly financial information in thirteen-week increments and ends each respective quarter on the Saturday following the thirteenth week with the fiscal year ending December 31. 2. EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133--an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." Statement No. 137 defers the effective date of Statement No. 133 by one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt Statement No. 133 beginning in 2001. Implementation of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. In September 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF Statement No. 99-5, "Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements". Statement No. 99-5 restricts capitalization of pre-production costs based on certain criteria and is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1999. On January 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement 99-5 and has not capitalized any pre-production costs for the nine month period ending September 30, 2000. This accounting change has the effect of accelerating expense recognition of advance costs related to business that has not yet begun production. The Company has defined these advance engineering and program management costs of future business as "Advanced Program Expenses". If the Company is not able to meet capitalization criteria prescribed by Statement 99-5 during 2000, it could reduce the Company's reported earnings by up to $3,000 as compared to 1999. Due to the materiality of these expenses, advanced program expenses have been separated on the consolidated statement of operations. The change has no effect on cash flow. 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of September 30, 2000, there were no significant changes to the commitments and contingencies presented in the footnotes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 6 7 4. INVENTORIES Inventory consisted of the following: SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 DECEMBER 31, 1999 ------------------ ----------------- UNAUDITED Raw material $ 7,083 $ 8,739 Work in process 4,861 5,629 Finished goods 4,236 3,694 ------- ------- Total Inventory $16,180 $18,062 5. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS The Company's comprehensive loss includes the reported net loss and the change in accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 the comprehensive loss was $10,201 and $15,214 as compared to $838 and $5,891 for the third quarter and nine months ended October 2, 1999. 6. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION Veltri Metal Products Co. and Veltri Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the "Veltri Group") are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and constitute all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The Veltri Group has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Company's senior subordinated notes. There are no restrictions on the ability of the Veltri Group to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, except as follows: (i) pursuant to the senior credit agreement the Veltri Group agreed not to (a) declare or make any dividend or other distribution with respect to any shares of capital stock; or (b) make loans, advances or extensions of credit to any person (except for credit sales in the ordinary course of business and loans to affiliates in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000 at any time outstanding); and (ii) pursuant to the indenture agreement for the Company's senior subordinated notes, the Veltri Group is prohibited from making loans or advances to the Company if a default or event of default shall have occurred under the indenture. Management does not believe that separate financial statements for the Veltri Group is material to investors. Therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Veltri Group have been omitted, and in lieu thereof, summarized financial information relating to the Veltri Group is shown as follows: SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 DECEMBER 31, 1999 ------------------- ----------------- UNAUDITED Current assets $37,997 $46,868 Non-current assets 52,383 55,016 Current liabilities 42,920 56,394 Non-current liabilities 29,678 29,525 NINE MONTHS ENDED: SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 OCTOBER 2, 1999 ------------------ --------------- UNAUDITED UNAUDITED Net sales $86,834 $83,960 Gross profit 16,385 16,001 Net income 1,754 2,853 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 7 8 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has a business services agreement with Talon L.L.C., an affiliated company owned by the shareholders of the Company. Under this agreement, the Company receives services of risk management, benefits management, tax preparation and other services from Talon L.L.C. as requested by the Company. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, the Company paid fees to Talon L.L.C. of $375 under this agreement. In 1996, the Company purchased the outstanding capital stock of the Veltri Group and a former shareholder of the Veltri Group was appointed as an officer of the Company. The stock purchase agreement included certain earnout provisions payable to the former shareholder. On April 6, 2000, the Company made an earnout payment of approximately $1.8 million, including interest, for the calendar year 1999. This was the Company's final earnout payment due under the stock purchase agreement. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 Net Sales Net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 ("third quarter 2000") were $56.7 million compared to $67.3 million for the three month period ended October 2, 1999 ("third quarter 1999"). This represents a decrease of $10.5 million or 15.7% as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to production fluctuations at a major customer (See "Sales Decline") and balance out of certain production due to model change overs. For the year-to-date period, net sales were $225.1 million compared to $217.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This represents an increase of $8.0 million or 3.7% as compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher industry volumes during the first six months of 2000 as compared to the prior year and incremental new business on the General Motors GMT 800 truck platform, and Honda Odyssey minivan. Gross Profit Gross profit for the third quarter 2000 was $1.6 million or 2.8% of net sales compared to $8.5 million or 12.7% of net sales for the third quarter 1999. This represents a decrease of $6.9 million or 81.6% as compared to the prior year. The decrease was due to significantly lower sales (See "Sales Decline") and the impact of unabsorbed fixed overhead in the third quarter 2000. For the year-to-date period, gross profit was $22.0 million or 9.8% compared to $25.3 million or 11.7% of net sales for the same period in the prior year. This represents a decrease of $3.3 million or 12.9% as compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales and the impact of unabsorbed fixed overhead in the third quarter 2000. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") SG&A expenses for the third quarter 2000 were $5.8 million or 10.3% of net sales compared to $4.8 million or 7.1% of net sales for the third quarter 1999. The increase of $1.0 million or 21.5% was primarily due to incremental investment in program launches and consulting expenses. For the year-to-date period, SG&A expenses were $18.5 million or 8.2% of net sales compared to $15.6 million or 7.2% of net sales for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $2.9 million or 18.7% was primarily due to incremental investment in program launches, consulting expenses and $0.2 million bad debt provision in the first quarter 2000. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 8 9 Advanced Program Expenses Advanced program expenses for the third quarter 2000 and year-to-date period were $0.8 million or 1.4% of net sales and $2.2 million or 1.1% of net sales. This expense was capitalized for the same periods in the prior year, however; due to the new accounting rule, FASB 99-5 (see Note 2, "Effect of Accounting Pronouncements"), advanced program expenses were expensed beginning January 1, 2000. Advanced program expenses are the investment in advance engineering and program management for future programs. Interest Expense Interest expense for the third quarter 2000 was $5.0 million or 8.7% of net sales, as compared to $3.7 million or 5.5% of net sales for the third quarter 1999. The increase of $1.3 million or 34.1% was due to higher borrowings and higher interest rates on the Company's senior credit facility. For the year-to-date period, interest expense was $14.4 million or 6.4% of net sales, as compared to $11.7 million or 5.4% of net sales for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $2.7 million or 23.6% was due to higher borrowings and higher interest rates on the Company's senior credit facility. Income Taxes The Company's shareholders have elected under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as an S-Corporation with respect to the Company's U.S. operations. As a result, income taxes relate solely to the Company's Canadian operations. The provision for Canadian income taxes for the third quarter 2000 was ($0.3) million compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter 1999. For the year to date period, the provision was $1.2 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the third quarter 2000 and year to date period was approximately 34% and 40%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the first nine months of 2000, net cash flow used in operating activities totaled $11.9 million compared to $6.3 million used in operating activities for the same period in the prior year. The change compared to the prior year period was due to the increased net loss between the periods, offset by favorable changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $4.5 million for the first nine months of 2000 compared to $20.9 million for the first nine months of 1999. Capital expenditures were primarily for new machinery and equipment. The decrease, as compared to the prior year period, was largely due to sale-leaseback transactions completed during 2000 for which the Company was reimbursed $10.5 million. The Company has made significant capital expenditures related to a new production facility and new equipment for the 2002 Jeep Cherokee program ("KJ"). Through September 30, 2000, the cumulative construction-in-process related to the KJ totaled approximately $10.4 million. The Company believes the new KJ will launch by the second quarter 2001 and additional KJ capital expenditures of approximately $4.0 million will be required through that date. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $16.3 million for the first nine months of 2000, compared to $18.5 million for the first nine months of 1999. Financing activities primarily were incremental borrowings on the Company's senior credit facility made to finance the net loss and capital investments incurred during 2000. EBITDA for the third quarter 2000 was ($2.8) million as compared to $5.7 million for the third quarter 1999. This represents a decrease of $8.5 million or 149.1% as compared to the prior year period. For the year to date period, EBITDA was $8.1 million compared to $16.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This represents a decrease of $8.6 million or 51.3% as compared to the prior year period. EBITDA is defined as income from operations plus depreciation and amortization and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted non-GAAP financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service debt. However, EBITDA should not be - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 9 10 considered in isolation as a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. RECLASSIFICATION OF SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY On July 1, 2000, the Company was in default of two financial covenants in the Company's $100 million senior credit facility, the interest coverage and quarterly EBITDA covenants, as defined. On August 11, 2000 the Company's senior credit facility was amended to waive the July 1, 2000 defaults through September 29, 2000 and redefine the borrowing advance rates and remove the interim borrowing limit. On September 29, 2000, the senior credit facility was amended to waive the July 1, 2000 defaults through October 27, 2000. On October 27, 2000, the senior credit facility was amended to waive the July 1, 2000 default until November 20, 2000. For the period ending September 30, 2000, the Company was in default of three financial covenants, the interest coverage, quarterly EBITDA and leverage covenants, as defined. On November 14, 2000 the Company's senior credit facility was amended to waive the September 30, 2000 defaults through November 20, 2000. The Company is negotiating with its bank group during this waiver period to amend the senior credit facility and reset the existing financial covenants. On September 30, 2000, borrowings under the senior credit facility were $58 million with the availability to borrow an additional $16 million. Due to the violation of the financial covenants in the Company's $100 million senior credit facility for the period ending September 30, 2000, the Company has elected to reclassify its $100 million senior credit facility to a current obligation as required by FAS 78: Classification of Obligations that are Callable by the Creditor. The company does not believe that it is probable that these violations will be cured by the end of the waiver period, however, the Company is negotiating with its bank group to modify the existing covenants such that the Company will be in compliance with the terms of its credit facility by December 31, 2000. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES The Company elected not to make the November 1, 2000, interest payment, when due, on its $120 million principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2008, and is operating under a 30-day "grace" period ending December 1, 2000. The Company is negotiating with its bank group and the note holders to facilitate payment of the interest due, or to modify the terms of the senior subordinated notes to defer payment. If agreement between the parties cannot be reached by December 1, 2000, the notes may be declared in default. The Company has, therefore, elected to classify the notes as a current liability as required by FAS 78: Classification of Obligations that are Callable by the Creditor. SALES DECLINE As previously disclosed, the company experienced a significant decline in Chrysler LH sales, in the third quarter 2000, due to a paint line explosion at the Chrysler LH Bramalea, Ontario assembly facility. The paint line explosion, which occurred in July 2000, resulted in the Bramalea facility remaining closed for an additional three weeks after the regularly scheduled July 3, 2000 shutdown period (two weeks) and a slow volume ramp up in August 2000. In addition, OEM inventory balancing and a new product launch resulted in a significant reduction of production on the Dodge Neon and Chrysler Minivan platforms which had a material adverse impact on sales and EBITDA for the third quarter. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 10 11 Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief, or current expectations of the Company or its management, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to: (i) general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates; (ii) the degree to which the Company is leveraged; (iii) labor disputes involving the Company or its significant customers; (iv) changes in practices and/or policies of the Company's significant customers toward outsourcing automotive components and systems; (v) the Company's reliance on major customers and selected models; (vi) foreign currency and exchange fluctuations; and (viii) other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update such forward-looking statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company believes there was no significant change in its market risk factors since December 31, 1999. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form 10Q Page 11 12 PART II.
