NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) The unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Registrant's 2003 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, 2004, and the results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

(5) At June 30, 2004, the Company had 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, since 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 Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

(9) On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
its Exposure Draft, "Share-Based Payment," which is a proposed amendment to
FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The
Exposure Draft would require all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. FASB expects that a final standard
would be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2004. 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 Statements,"
and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities. 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 interpretation was effective for any
variable interest entered into by the Company as of the end of the first
quarter of 2004. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 did not have any
significant 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:
SECOND QUARTER 2004 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2003
Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of 2004 increased by
approximately $12,729,000, or 11%, when compared with the second
quarter last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive auto-dimming
mirrors increased by approximately $12,939,000, or 12%, as
auto-dimming mirror unit shipments increased by 18% from
approximately 2,534,000 in the second quarter of 2003 to 3,001,000 in
the current quarter. This increase reflected the increased
penetration of interior base and exterior auto-dimming mirrors on
2004 model year vehicles, during the second quarter of 2004. Unit
shipments to customers in North America for the current quarter
increased by 4% compared with the second quarter of the prior year,
primarily due to increased penetration among Asian transplants.
Mirror unit shipments for the current quarter to automotive customers
outside North America increased by 37% compared with the second
quarter in 2003, primarily due to increased interior and exterior
mirror shipments to European and Asian-Pacific automakers. Net sales
of the Company's fire protection products decreased 3% for the
current quarter, primarily due to lower sales of certain of the
Company's signaling products.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
decreased slightly from 58.7% in the second quarter of 2003 to 58.0%
in the second quarter of 2004. This slight percentage decrease
primarily reflected the higher sales level leveraged over the fixed
overhead costs and product mix, partially offset by annual customer
price reductions. Each factor is estimated to have impacted cost of
goods sold as a percentage of net sales by approximately 1-2%.
Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses for the quarter
increased approximately $1,235,000, from 5.4% to 5.8% 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
$790,000, for the quarter, but remained at approximately 5% of net
sales, when compared with the second quarter of 2003. This increased
expense primarily reflected the continued expansion of the Company's
overseas sales and engineering offices, as well as the stronger euro
exchange rate.
Total Other Income. Total other income for the quarter increased by
approximately $139,000 when compared with the second quarter of 2003,
primarily due to realized gains on the sale of equity investments in
the current quarter mostly offset by reduced interest income due to
lower interest rates.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004, VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
increased by approximately $26,748,000, or 12%, when compared with
the same period last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive
auto-dimming mirrors increased by approximately $26,494,000, or 12%,
as auto-dimming mirror unit shipments increased by 18% from
approximately 5,069,000 in the first 6 months of 2003 to 5,983,000 in
the first six months of 2004. This increase reflected the increased
penetration on 2004 model year vehicles for interior and exterior
electrochromic auto-dimming Mirrors. Unit shipments to customers in
North America increased by 7% for the first six months of 2004,
primarily due to increased penetration among Asian transplants.
Mirror unit shipments to automotive customers outside North America
increased by 31% for the first six months of 2004 compared with the
first six months in 2003, 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
increased 2% for the first six months of 2004, primarily due to
higher sales of certain of the Company's smoke detector and signaling
products.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of good sold
decreased from 58.5% to 57.8% in the first six months of 2004, when
compared to the same six-month period in the prior year. This slight
percentage decrease primarily reflected the higher sales level
leveraged over the fixed overhead costs and product mix, partially
offset
-8-
by annual customer price reductions. Each factor is estimated to
have impacted cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales by
approximately 1-2%.
Operating Expenses. For six months ended June 30, 2004, engineering,
research and development expenses increased approximately $2,471,000,
from 5.4% to 5.8% of net sales, when compared with the same period
last year, primarily reflecting additional staffing for new product
development, including mirrors with additional electronic features.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
$2,008,000 for the first six months of 2004, and increased from 5.0%
to 5.3% of net sales when compared to the first six months of 2003.
This increased expense primarily reflected the continued expansion of
the Company's overseas sales and engineering office as well as the
stronger euro exchange rate.
Other Income - Net. Other income for the six months ended June 30,
2004, increased by approximately $1,612,000 when compared with the
first six months of 2003, primarily due to realized gains on the sale
of equity investments in the current year period compared to realized
losses on the sale of equity investments in the prior year period,
partially offset by reduced interest income due to lower interest
rates.
FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2004, increased $8,104,000 to $71,282,000, compared to $63,178,000,
for the same period last year, primarily due to increased net income.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2004, were
$14,175,000, compared to $11,044,000 for the same period last year.
The Company now expects that the construction of its fourth
automotive manufacturing facility and a new corporate facility will
be completed in early 2006. The completion date has been pushed back
due to improved capacity utilization. The Company plans to invest
approximately $40-45 million for the new facilities during 2004-2006,
which will be funded from its cash and equivalents on hand.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2004, increased
approximately $67,204,000 compared to December 31, 2003. The increase
was primarily due to cash flow from operations.
Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
investments totaling approximately $625,341,000 as of June 30, 2004,
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 that 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. No shares have
been repurchased subsequently by the Company.
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. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2004, there were no significant changes in the market risks
reported in the Company's 2003 Form 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 worldwide
markets that could reduce demand for its products.
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-
-9-
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.
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. This
increased volatility and uncertainty has made it more difficult for
the Company to forecast future sales and effectively utilize capital,
