                       GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
     prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
     and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
     in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested
     that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Registrant's 2000 annual report on Form 10-K.

(2)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
     only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
     financial position of the Registrant as of June 30, 2001, and December 31,
     2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
     presented.

     In June 1998 and June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
     and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
     Hedging Activities-an amendment of SFAS No. 133, respectively, which
     establish accounting and reporting standards for all derivative instruments
     and hedging activities. These statements require an entity to recognize all
     derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and
     measure those investments at fair value. Adoption of these pronouncements
     on January 1, 2001, had minimal effect on the Company's consolidated
     results of operations, financial position and financial disclosures.

(3)  Inventories consisted of the following at the respective balance sheet
     dates:

(4)  Comprehensive income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise
     during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from
     non-owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net
     income adjusted for items such as unrealized gains and losses on certain
     investments and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive
     income was as follows:

                       GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
        FINANCIAL CONDITION

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

        SECOND QUARTER 2001 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2000

        Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of 2001 increased by
        approximately $319,000, or less than 1%, when compared with the second
        quarter last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors
        increased by $351,000, or less than 1%, as automatic mirror unit
        shipments increased by 3% from approximately 1,698,000 in the second
        quarter of 2000 to 1,753,000 in the current quarter. This increase
        reflected increased penetration of interior and exterior electrochromic
        Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors on 2001 model year vehicles
        manufactured overseas. Shipments to customers in North America decreased
        by 6%, primarily due to reduced North American automotive production
        schedules. Mirror unit shipments to automotive customers outside North
        America increased by 17% compared with the second quarter in 2000,
        primarily due to increased interior and exterior mirror sub-assembly
        shipments to European and Japanese automakers. Net sales of the
        Company's fire protection products decreased 1%, primarily due to lower
        sales of certain of the Company's smoke detectors.

        Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
        increased from 58% in the second quarter of 2000 to 61% in the second
        quarter of 2001. This increased percentage primarily reflected customer
        price reductions, changes in product mix, and the continued ramp-up of
        the Company's third automotive supply manufacturing facility.

        Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
        approximately $1,069,000, and increased from 6% to 7% of net sales, when
        compared with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting
        additional staffing, engineering and testing for new product
        development, including mirrors with additional electronic features.
        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
        $279,000, but remained unchanged at 6% of net sales, when compared with
        the second quarter of 2000. This increased expense primarily reflected
        the expansion of the Company's overseas sales and engineering offices.

        Other Income - Net. Other income decreased by approximately $143,000
        when compared with the second quarter of 2000, primarily due to
        declining interest rates on investments and lower income from customer
        reimbursable engineering and tooling projects.

        SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

        Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by
        approximately $5,839,000, or 4%, when compared with the same period last
        year. Automatic mirror unit shipments increased from approximately
        3,431,000 in the first six months of 2000 to 3,603,000 in the first six
        months of 2001. This increase primarily reflected increased penetration
        on foreign 2001 model year vehicles for interior and exterior
        electrochromic Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors. Shipments to
        customers in North America decreased by 8%, primarily due to reduced
        industry production levels. Mirror unit shipments to automotive
        customers outside North America increased by 29% compared with the first
        six months in 2000, primarily due to increased interior and exterior
        mirror sub-assembly shipments to European and Japanese automakers. Net
        sales of the Company's fire protection products increased 1%, primarily
        due to higher sales of certain of the Company's signaling products.

        Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of good sold
        increased from 57% in the first six months of 2000, to 60% for the
        comparable period in 2001. This increased percentage primarily reflected
        customer price reductions, some shifts in mirror product mix, and the
        start-up of the Company's third automotive manufacturing facility during
        the second quarter of 2000.

        SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
        (CONT.)

        Operating Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, research and
        development expenses increased approximately $2,096,000, and increased
        from 5% to 7% of net sales, when compared with the same period last
        year, primarily reflecting additional staffing, engineering and testing
        for new product development, including mirrors with additional
        electronic features. Selling, general and administrative expenses
        increased approximately $1,064,000, but remained at 6% of net sales,
        when compared with the first six months of 2000. This increased expense
        primarily reflected the expansion of the Company's overseas automotive
        sales and engineering offices to support future growth opportunities.

        Other Income - Net. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
        increased by approximately $561,000 when compared with the first six
        months of 2000, primarily due to higher investable fund balances,
        partially offset by declining interest rates and lower income from
        customer-reimbursable engineering and tooling projects.

        FINANCIAL CONDITION:

        Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
        investments totaling approximately $343,906,000 at June 30, 2001,
        together with internally generated cash flow and an unsecured $5,000,000
        line of credit from a bank, to be sufficient to cover anticipated cash
        needs for the foreseeable future.

        TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS:

        The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying correlations
        and volatilities, including foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate
        risk and equity price risk. There were no significant changes in the
        market risks reported in the Company's 2000 10-K report.

        The Company has some assets, liabilities and operations outside the
        United States, which currently are not significant. Because the Company
        sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, it could be
        significantly affected by weak economic conditions in foreign markets
        that could reduce demand for its products.

        In addition to price reductions over the life of its long-term
        agreements, the Company continues to experience pricing pressures from
        its automotive customers, which have affected, and which will continue
        to affect, its margins to the extent that the Company is unable to
        offset the price reductions with productivity improvements, engineering
        and purchasing cost reductions, and increases in unit sales volume. In
        addition, the Company continues to experience some pressure for select
        raw material cost increases.

        The Company currently supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to DaimlerChrysler AG and
        General Motors Corporation under long-term agreements. The long-term
        supply agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG runs through the 2003 Model
        Year, while the GM contract is through the 2004 Model Year for inside
        mirrors.
