NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share amounts) 1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). The information furnished in the condensed 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission's rules and regulations. Although the Company 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 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 70% and 74% of the Company's inventories at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, and by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all other inventories. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following: June 30, December 31, 2002 2001 -------- ------------ Raw materials $30,224 $35,488 Work in progress 11,923 8,192 Finished goods 12,596 11,142 LIFO reserve (814) (318) ------- ------- Total $53,929 $54,504 ======= ======= 3. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to market risks resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and currency rates. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company's best interest. In order to manage the interest rate risk associated with our previous debt portfolio, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. These agreements required the Company to pay a fixed interest rate to counterparties while receiving a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. The counterparties to each of the interest rate swap agreements were major commercial banks. These agreements were due to mature on or before December 31, 2003 and qualified as cash flow hedges; however, as a result of the recent debt refinancing, these agreements were terminated at a cost of $5.3 million on May 1, 2002. Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive loss to the extent that the hedges are effective until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Net losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of May 1, 2002 were $3.3 million after tax ($5.3 million pre-tax). This amount is currently being amortized to interest expense over the remaining contractual terms of the agreements. The remaining unamortized balance as of June 30, 2002 was $2.6 million after tax ($4.2 million pre-tax). 5 STONERIDGE, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share amounts) The Company has foreign currency forward contracts to purchase $15.6 million of Swedish krona and British pounds to satisfy krona and pound denominated debt obligations. The estimated fair value of these forward contracts at June 30, 2002, per quoted market sources, was $16.6 million. 4. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Goodwill amortization, which approximated $9.5 million annually, ceased when the Statement became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Goodwill is now subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 142, the Company has completed the two-step transitional goodwill impairment analysis for both reporting units of the Company. The initial impairment test indicated that the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded the corresponding fair values of the reporting units, which were determined based on a combination of valuation techniques including the guideline company method, the transaction method and the discounted cash flow method. The implied fair value of goodwill in these reporting units was then determined through the allocation of the fair values to the underlying assets and liabilities. The January 1, 2002 carrying value of the goodwill in these reporting units exceeded their implied fair value by $90.1 million. The $69.8 million write-down of goodwill to its fair value, which is net of $20.3 million of related tax benefits, was reported as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2002. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during 2002 is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2001 $345,392 Cumulative effect of accounting change (90,100) -------- Balance at June 30, 2002 $255,292 ======== The unaudited pro forma consolidated net income (loss) as though SFAS 142 had been in effect at the beginning of fiscal 2001 is as follows: Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------ ----------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------ ------ -------- ------ Reported income before cumulative effect of accounting change $6,819 $1,539 $ 12,396 $4,596 Add back: Goodwill amortization, net of tax -- 1,699 -- 3,434 ------ ------ -------- ------ Adjusted income before cumulative effect of accounting change 6,819 3,238 12,396 8,030 Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax -- -- (69,834) -- ------ ------ -------- ------ Adjusted net income (loss) $6,819 $3,238 $(57,438) $8,030 ====== ====== ======== ====== 6 STONERIDGE, INC.

Estimated annual amortization expense is $377 for 2002, $345 for 2003-2005 and $312 for 2006. 5. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS 144, which became effective for the Company in 2002, supercedes SFAS 121 and establishes guidelines for accounting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The provisions of SFAS 144 had no impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption. 6. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". Among other things, SFAS 145 requires gains and losses on extinguishments of debt to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS 4. Any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30 for 7 STONERIDGE, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share amounts) classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified. The Company will adopt this Statement effective January 1, 2003, and accordingly, the extraordinary loss of $3.6 million, net of tax, recorded as a result of the early extinguishment of debt described in Note 8 will be reclassified as a component of income from continuing operations. 7. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and derivative transactions, net of related tax. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the following: Three months Six months ended June 30, ended June 30, --------------- ------------------ 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------ ------ -------- ------- Net income $6,819 $1,539 $(57,438) $ 4,596 Other comprehensive income (loss) 2,427 1,130 3,020 (3,661) ------ ------ -------- ------- Comprehensive income (loss) $9,246 $2,669 $(54,418) $ 935 ====== ====== ======== ======= 8. On May 1, 2002, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The $200.0 million notes bear interest at an annual rate of 11.50% and mature on May 1, 2012. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company registered the notes under the Securities Act of 1933 on May 17, 2002. On July 1, 2002, the Company completed an exchange offer of the senior notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933. In conjunction with the issuance of the senior notes, the Company also entered into a new $200.0 million credit agreement with a bank group. The credit agreement has two components: a $100.0 million revolving facility, including a $10.0 million swing line facility, and a $100.0 million term facility. The revolving facility expires on April 30, 2007 and requires a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.500% on the unused balance as well as a utilization fee of 0.125% to 0.250% when the unutilized balance equals or exceeds 50.0% of the total revolving commitment. The revolving facility permits the Company to borrow up to half its borrowings in specified foreign currencies. Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the prime rate plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.50% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00% to 3.00%, depending upon the Company's ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined. Interest on the swing line facility is payable monthly at the same rate as the revolving facility. The term facility expires on April 30, 2008. Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the prime rate plus 1.75% or (ii) LIBOR plus 3.25%. The Company has the right to prepay any of the above mentioned loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of June 30, 2002. The Company incurred debt financing costs of $10.6 million in connection with the issuance of the senior notes and credit facility, which are being amortized over the respective terms of the debt. The proceeds of the senior notes were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Company's then existing debt obligations on May 1, 2002, which consisted of $37.6 million of revolving credit borrowings and $226.1 million of term debt borrowings ("the old debt"). The Company also had $5.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the old debt, which were written off in connection with the repayment of the debt and is presented as an extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of debt of $3.6 million, net of taxes of $2.2 million, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. 8 STONERIDGE, INC.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to their 2002 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates and assumptions used. The Company bases its estimates used on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company believes the following are its "critical accounting polices" - those most important to the financial presentation and those that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgements. Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments - The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of products, net of costs of returns and allowances, at the point of passage of title, which is generally at the time of shipment. The Company often enters into agreements with its customers at the beginning of a given vehicle's life. Once such agreements are entered into, it is the Company's obligation to fulfill the customers' purchasing requirements for the entire production life of the vehicle. These agreements generally may be terminated by our customer at any time, but usually are not. Bad Debts - The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for doubtful account is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. Additionally, the Company reviews historical trends for collectibility in determining an estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts. If economic circumstances change substantially, estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be reduced by a material amount. Inventory - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for U.S. inventories and by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for non-U.S. inventories. Where appropriate, standard cost systems are utilized for purposes of determining cost; the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they approximate actual costs. Estimates of lower of cost or market value of inventory are determined based upon current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories. Goodwill - In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill on January 1, 2002. In lieu of amortization, the new standard requires that goodwill be tested for impairment as of the date of adoption, at least annually thereafter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. See Note 4 for more information on the Company's application of this new accounting standard. Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased by $21.7 million, or 7.0%, to $329.8 million from $308.1 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales revenues for the first six months were favorably impacted by increased North American light vehicle builds. 15 Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 for North America increased $14.0 million to $278.2 million from $264.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. North American sales accounted for 84.4% of total sales for the first six months of 2002 compared with 85.8% for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 outside North America increased $7.7 million to $51.6 million from $43.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales outside North America accounted for 15.6% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared with 14.2% for the corresponding period in 2001. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2002 increased by $9.0 million, or 3.9%, to $242.3 million from $233.3 million in the first six months of 2001. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 73.5% from 75.7% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The improvement as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to cost reduction programs and increased light vehicle production volumes. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, decreased by $7.0 million to $45.1 million in the first six months of 2002 from $52.1 million for the corresponding period in 2001. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 13.7% for the first six months of 2002 from 16.9% for the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's adopting the non-amortization of goodwill provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense for the first six months of 2001 was $4.9 million. Excluding the impact of goodwill amortization expense, SG&A decreased by $2.1 million, or 4.5%, in the first six months of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001, primarily as a result of the Company's cost cutting initiatives. Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense for the first six months of 2002 increased by $1.4 million to $16.8 million in 2002 from $15.4 million in 2001 primarily due to an increase in the effective rate of interest resulting from the debt refinancing. Other Expense, net. Other expense, which primarily represented equity losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries, was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income Before Income Taxes. As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes increased by $18.1 million for the first six months of 2002 to $25.2 million from $7.1 million in 2001. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recognized provisions for income taxes of $9.2 million and $2.5 million for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income Before Extraordinary Loss and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. As a result of the foregoing, income before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change increased by $11.4 million to $16.0 million for the first six months of 2002 from $4.6 million in 2001. Extraordinary Loss, net of tax. The Company recognized a net of tax loss of $3.6 million during the first six months of 2002 in connection with the early extinguishment of debt related to the Company's debt refinancing. Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change, net of tax. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 142, the Company completed the two-step transitional goodwill impairment analysis. As a result, the Company recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change, a non-cash charge of approximately $69.8 million, net of tax, to write off a portion of the carrying value of goodwill. 16 Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased by $20.1 million, or 13.2%, to $172.0 million from $151.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 continued to be favorably impacted by increased North American light vehicle builds. Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 for North America increased $13.8 million to $145.0 million from $131.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. North American sales accounted for 84.3% of total sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared with 86.4% for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales for the second quarter of 2002 outside North America increased by $6.3 million to $27.0 million from $20.7 million for the corresponding period in 2001. Sales outside North America accounted for 15.7% of total sales for the second quarter of 2002 compared with 13.6% for the corresponding period in 2001. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased by $8.6 million, or 7.4%, to $123.9 million from $115.3 million for the corresponding period in 2001. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 72.0% from 75.9% for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The improvement as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to cost reduction programs and increased light vehicle production volumes. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by $3.4 million to $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $26.9 million for the corresponding period in 2001. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 13.7% for the second quarter of 2002 from 17.7% for the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's adopting the non-amortization of goodwill provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense for the second quarter of 2001 was $2.4 million. Excluding the impact of goodwill amortization expense, SG&A decreased by $1.0 million, or 4.0% in the second quarter of 2002, reflecting the Company's cost cutting initiatives. Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 increased by $0.8 million to $8.2 million in 2002 from $7.4 million in 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the effective rate of interest resulting from the debt refinancing. Income Before Income Taxes. As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes increased $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2002 to $16.3 million from $2.4 million in 2001. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recognized provisions for income taxes of $5.9 million and $0.8 million for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income Before Extraordinary Loss and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. As a result of the foregoing, income before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change increased by $8.9 million to $10.4 million for the first six months of 2002 from $1.5 million in 2001. Extraordinary Loss, net of tax. The Company recognized a net of tax loss of $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2002 in connection with the early extinguishment of debt related to the Company's debt refinancing. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.0 million and $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $32.5 million was primarily attributable to a combination of lower levels of working capital and an increase in operating income. 17 Net cash used by investing activities was $7.3 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in net cash used by investing activities of $4.3 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in capital expenditures. Net cash used by financing activities was $3.3 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in net cash used by financing activities of $0.3 million was attributable to a combination of an increase in cash due to the debt refinancing offset by the costs associated with the refinancing. The Company has a new $200.0 million credit agreement (of which $99.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2002) with a bank group. The credit agreement has the following components: a $100.0 million revolving facility (of which $97.8 million is currently available) including a $10.0 million swing line facility, and a $100.0 million term facility.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily resulting from the effects of changes in interest rates. To reduce exposures to market risks resulting from fluctuations in interest rates, the Company uses a combination of variable and fixed rate debt. At June 30, 2002, approximately 50.0% of the Company's debt was variable rate debt. The Company believes that a 1.0% increase or decrease in the interest rate on variable rate debt could affect earnings by approximately $0.1 million. The Company's risks related to commodity price and foreign currency exchange risks have historically not been material. The Company does not expect the effects of these risks to be material in the future based on current operating and economic conditions in the countries and markets in which it operates. Therefore, a 10.0% change in the value of the U.S. dollar would not significantly affect the Company's financial position. 20 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, workers' compensation and product liability disputes. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. ITEM 2.
