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 2002 annual report on Form 10-K.
(2) In the opinion of management, the accompanying 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 March 31, 2003, and December 31, 2002, and the results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
(3) Inventories consisted of the following at the respective balance sheet

(5) At March 31, 2003, the Company has two stock option plans and an employee
stock purchase plan. The Company accounts for these plans under the
recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 (Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees) and related interpretations. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options
granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123
(Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation) to stock-based employee
compensation.

(9) New Accounting Pronouncements -- FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," changes current practice in
accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees. Interpretation No. 45 will
require certain guarantees to be recorded as liabilities at fair value on
the Company's balance sheet. Current practice requires that liabilities
related to guarantees to be recorded only when a loss is probable and
reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in FASB Statement No. 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies." Interpretation No. 45 also requires a
guarantor to make significant new disclosures, even when the likelihood of
making any payments under the guarantee is remote, which is another change
from current practice. The disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45
are effective immediately; however the Company currently does not have
significant third party guarantees or warranty liabilities that would
require disclosure under the interpretation. The initial recognition and
measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The recognition and measurement
provisions were adopted, prospectively, as of January 1, 2003, and did not
have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123." SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of Statement No. 123 to require disclosure in interim
financial statements regarding the method used on reported results. The
Company does not intend to adopt a fair-value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation until a final standard is issued by
the FASB that requires this accounting. Proforma disclosures of quarterly
earnings are included in Note 5 of this quarterly statement.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities." This standard clarifies the application of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statement,"
and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities (more commonly known as Special Purpose Entities or SPE's).
Interpretation No. 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest
entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities
do not effectively disperse risk among the parties involved. Interpretation
No. 46 also enhances the disclosure requirements related to variable
interest entities. This statement is effective for variable interest
entities created or in which an enterprise obtains an interest after
January 31, 2003. Interpretation No. 46 will be effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2004, for all interest in variable interest entities
acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 is
not expected to have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
FIRST QUARTER 2003 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2002
Net Sales. Net sales for the first quarter of 2003 increased by
approximately $26,260,000, or 29%, when compared with the first quarter
last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors increased by
$26,283,000, or 31%, as electrochromic mirror unit shipments increased
by 23% from approximately 2,056,000 in the first quarter of 2002 to
2,535,000 in the current quarter. This increase reflected the increased
penetration of interior and exterior electrochromic Night Vision
Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors on 2003 model year vehicles plus additional
content. Unit shipments to customers in North America increased by 14%,
primarily due to increased penetration, despite flat automotive
production levels. Mirror unit shipments to automotive customers
outside North America increased by 36% compared with the first quarter
in 2002, primarily due to increased interior and exterior mirror
sub-assembly shipments to European and Asian-Pacific automakers. Net
sales of the Company's fire protection products decreased less than 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
decreased from 60% in the first quarter of 2002 to 58% in the first
quarter of 2003. This decreased percentage primarily reflected the
higher sales level leveraged over the fixed overhead costs and product
mix, partially offset by annual customer price reductions.
Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
approximately $622,000, but decreased from 6% to 5% 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
$486,000, but decreased from 6% to 5% of net sales, when compared with
the first quarter of 2002. This increased expense primarily reflected
the continued expansion of the Company's overseas sales and engineering
offices.
Other Income - Net. Other income decreased by approximately $1,514,000
when compared with the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to realized
losses on the sale of equity investments.
FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March
31, 2003, increased $4,522,000 to $40,877,000, compared to $36,355,000
for the same period last year, primarily due to increased net income.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2003, were
$6,630,000, compared to $15,254,000 for the same period last year,
primarily due to the purchase of a company airplane in 2002.
Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
investments totaling approximately $466,871,000 at March 31, 2003,
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 next year and for the foreseeable
future.
On October 8, 2002, the Company announced a share repurchase plan,
under which the Company may purchase up to 4,000,000 shares based on a
number of factors, including market conditions, the market price of the
Company's common stock, anti-dilutive effect on earnings, available
cash and other factors as the Company deems appropriate. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 415,000 shares at
a cost of approximately $10,247,000.
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 2002 Form 10-K report during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003.
- 8 -
TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS (CONT.):
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 worldwide markets
that could reduce demand for its products. The Company utilizes the
forecasting services of J.D. Power and Associates, and its current
forecasts for light vehicle production are approximately 16.0 million
in North America, 15.7 million in Western Europe and 20.3 million in
the Asia-Pacific region for calendar 2003.
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, profit pressures at certain automakers are resulting in
increased cost reduction efforts by them, including requests for
additional price reductions, decontenting certain features from
vehicles, and warranty cost-sharing programs, which could adversely
impact the Company's sales growth and margins. The Company also
continues to experience from time to time some pressure for select raw
material cost increases.
The Company generally supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to its customers
worldwide under annual blanket purchase orders. 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.
Automakers have been experiencing increased volatility and uncertainty
in executing planned new programs which have, in some cases, resulted
in cancellations or delays of new vehicle platforms, package
reconfigurations and inaccurate volume forecasts. In addition, there
remains uncertainty associated with automotive light vehicle production
schedules for the balance of the year due to weaker automotive sales,
the economy and the war in Iraq. This increased volatility and
uncertainty has made it more difficult for the Company to forecast
future sales and effectively utilize capital, engineering, research and
development, and human resource investments.
The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet
arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its
consolidated financial statements.
On October 1, 2002, Magna International acquired Donnelly Corporation.
Magna Donnelly is the Company's major competitor for sales of
automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to domestic and foreign vehicle
manufacturers and their mirror suppliers. The Company also sells
certain automatic-dimming rearview mirror sub-assemblies to Magna
Donnelly. At this time, it is too early to determine the impact, if
any, of Magna's acquisition of Donnelly upon the Company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of March 31, 2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company's management, including the
CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures [(as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a -- 14(c) and 15d -- 14(c)]. Based on that evaluation, the
Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March
31, 2003, to ensure that material information relating to the Company
would be made known to them by others within the Company, particularly
during the period in which this Form 10-Q was being prepared. There
have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to March 31, 2003, nor any significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses in such controls requiring corrective actions. As a
result, no corrective actions were required or taken.
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which express
"belief", "anticipation" or "expectation" as well as other statements
which are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements and
involve risks and uncertainties described under the headings
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition" and "Trends and Developments" that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. All
forward-looking statements in this Report are based on information
available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no
obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
