EXPLANATORY NOTE

         This Form 8-K/A amends Item 7 of the current report on Form 8-K filed
by Core Materials Corporation ("Core Materials") on October 31, 2001, to include
financial statements that were not available at the time of the filing of the
initial report. The financial statements are required as a result of the October
16, 2001, acquisition by Core Composites Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Core Materials, of certain assets of Airshield Corporation ("Airshield").

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 7(a). FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AIRSHIELD CORPORATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000
AND 1999

                          Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors
Airshield Corporation


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Airshield
Corporation as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, and the related statements of
operations, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our audits
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
because the Company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in March 2001,
which was later converted to Chapter 7. Additionally, we are aware that the
Company is involved in business litigation as disclosed in Note 7 to the
financial statements.

         The Company is a part of a controlled group. We have not audited the
financial statements of the controlled group for any period subsequent to
December 31, 1999, and therefore do not express an opinion on any such financial
statements of the controlled group for any period subsequent to that date. We
performed an audit of the consolidated entity as of December 31, 1999 and issued
a report thereon. Our report was unqualified as of that date. Our audit was
conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the consolidated group as
a whole. No audit procedures were performed on intercompany transactions.
Subsequent to 1999, substantial management changes occurred within the
companies. We have been unable to determine the appropriateness of all charges
within the related entities. The Company has significant transactions within the
controlled group and related entities as discussed in Note 6. There may be
substantial unpaid liabilities within this controlled group and related entities
which would make it unable to continue operations without substantial changes to
the Company's operations. We have been unable to determine the nature, extent,
and periods to which these liabilities relate. Several of these entities have
experienced financial difficulties including bankruptcy. Had we been able to
audit the controlled group, significant adjustments to the Company's financial
statements may have resulted.

         As discussed in Note 8, the Company files a joint tax return with its
parent company. The Company's parent has not completed the required federal
income tax filings for the year ended December 31, 2000, and neither the Company
nor its parent, has paid federal income taxes related to the year ended December
31, 1999. Further, the Company has not recognized any income tax expense, income
taxes payable or deferred taxes in its balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, or
in its related statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the
year then ended. The ultimate resolution and effect of these matters have not
been determined.

         We were unable to observe the count of the Company's physical inventory
as of December 31, 2000, stated in the accompanying balance sheet at $496,893 as
of December 31, 2000. The Company's records do not permit the application of
other auditing procedures to its inventories.

         In our opinion, because of the effects of the matters discussed in the
preceding paragraphs, the financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, the financial position of Airshield Corporation as of
December 31, 2000, and 1999, or the results of its operations or its cash flows
for the years then ended.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         NATURE OF OPERATIONS

              Airshield Corporation ("the Company") operates in one business
              segment as a manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced plastics
              utilizing various open and closed molding processes. The Company
              primarily sells to commercial truck manufacturers and automotive
              aftermarket suppliers.

              In March 2001, the Company filed for reorganization under Chapter
              11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code which case was
              subsequently converted to Chapter 7 liquidation in December 2001.
              See note 2.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
              assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
              liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
              the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
              estimates.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

              Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time products
              are shipped.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              For purposes of statements of cash flows, the Company considers
              all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three
              months or less to be cash equivalents.

              Although the Company's cash and cash equivalents and accounts
              receivable are exposed to potential credit loss, the Company does
              not believe such risk to be significant. Most of the Company's
              accounts receivable are from large commercial truck manufacturers,
              and, as a whole, do not represent a significant credit risk.

         INVENTORY

              Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
              Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out basis.






                                       6





         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

              Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is
              calculated using the straight-line or accelerated method over
              estimated useful lives of the related assets.

                                                        Estimated
                                                      Useful Lives
                                                    ----------------

              Vehicles                                 3 - 10 years

              Molds and dies                           1 - 10 years

              Office and plant equipment               3 - 7 years




         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

              Effective June 30, 2000, for companies that have not adopted
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
              "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
              for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, the
              company must adopt SFAS No.138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
              Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," (an amendment of SFAS
              No. 133). The Company has not yet completed its analysis of this
              standard and therefore has not determined its effect on the
              Company's financial statements.

2.       BANKRUPTCY FILING/GOING CONCERN

         In March 2001, the Company filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11
         of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court
         for the Southern District of Texas. Under Chapter 11, certain claims
         against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing are stayed while
         the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor-in-possession while
         it works out its plan of reorganization.

         After evaluating various reorganization plans, the Company agreed to
         sell substantially all its assets to Core Materials Corporation ("Core
         Materials"). The sale order which was entered by the Bankruptcy Court
         on October 15, 2001 provided for sale of the assets free and clear from
         all liens, claims and encumbrances with the proceeds of the sale of
         $1,794,000 to be used to pay secured and unsecured claims of the
         Company. Core Materials assumed no liabilities of the Company. The sale
         was completed on October 16, 2001. In December 2001, the Company filed
         a petition to convert its case to Chapter 7 liquidation. The Bankruptcy
         Court entered an order in December 2001 converting such case. Under the
         provisions of Chapter 7, the Bankruptcy Court will appoint a trustee
         who will liquidate the Company after which time the Company will cease
         to exist.

         In light of the bankruptcy filings, particularly the conversion of the
         case to Chapter 7 liquidation and the sale of assets discussed above,
         there is significant doubt that the Company will continue as a going
         concern. The financial statements included herein do not reflect all
         the adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty
         and do not reflect the liquidation value of the Company.

         All debt was classified as current as a result of the Company's
         subsequent bankruptcy filings (see note 2).

         The Company's borrowing capacity under the line of credit is based on
         the lesser of $2,000,000 or 85% or eligible accounts receivable as
         defined in the loan agreement. The line of credit provides for an
         origination fee of $26,250, a facility fee of 1% of the total credit
         and a monthly service fee of .50% of the average daily balance
         outstanding on the loan. As a result of the Company's bankruptcy filing
         in March 2001,











                                      9

         subsequent borrowings under the loan were restricted and the interest
         rate was increased to the maximum rate allowable by law.



   6.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Company has entered various transactions with companies either
         owned or affiliated with the principal shareholder of the Company or
         the principal shareholder's brother. These transactions include shelter
         arrangements whereby the related parties manufacture and supply
         principally all of the Company's finished products from a facility in
         Mexico.

         The terms of the agreements include the following:

                  The Company will pay a monthly shelter fee of $83,411 to a
                  related party. As an integral part of the agreement, the
                  related party will furnish 304,000 square feet in a related
                  party facility, the Maquila Facility, located in Matamoras,
                  Tamulipas, Mexico for the manufacture of the Company's goods
                  and finished products. The agreement, which was entered
                  January 1, 1999, had a three-year original term and
                  automatically renews for successive three-year terms. Either
                  party may terminate the agreement by giving a 180-day written
                  notice of the intent to terminate.

                  The Company will also pay a related party entity for all costs
                  incurred on its behalf including manufacturing-related utility
                  and tax costs, production and general administrative personnel
                  costs, factory overhead, occupancy expenses and other general
                  and administrative expenses related to the production of the
                  Company's products.


         The Company shares certain administrative and operating costs with its
         parent, the reasonableness of charges for these services has not been
         determined. Additionally, the Company files a consolidated tax return
         with its parent. As discussed in Note 8 below, the Company's parent has
         not completed the required federal income tax filings for the year
         ended December 31, 2000, and neither the Company nor its parent, has
         paid federal income taxes related to the year ended December 31, 1999.
         Further, the Company has not recognized any income tax expense, income
         taxes payable or deferred taxes in its balance sheet as of December 31,
         2000, or in its related statements of income, retained earnings and
         cash flows for the year then ended. The ultimate resolution and effect
         of these matters have not been determined. The Company has also made
         and received various advances and loans from several of the related
         parties. As a result of the Company's bankruptcy filings and subsequent
         sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, the related party
         receivables were deemed uncollectible and were fully reserved at
         December 31, 2000.


   7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company previously entered into a licensing agreement whereby it
         paid an individual a royalty in order to retain an exclusive license on
         a patent. During 1991, the Company terminated this agreement. The
         licensor has claimed that the Company has infringed on the related
         patent and has filed suit for payment related to the infringement and
         for past royalties. A liability of $606,982 has been accrued at
         December 31, 2000 and 1999, in connection with the above.

         The Company has also accrued a liability of $10,157 at December 31,
         2000 and 2001, for its estimated obligations for product warranties.

8.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company determines tax expense and deferred tax information in
         accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
         "Accounting for Income Taxes."

         The components of the Company's provision for income taxes in 2000 and
         1999, are as follows:




                                                                                         2000                     1999

                                                                                     -----------              -----------

                          Total Tax Provision                                        $      --                $   430,228

         At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the components of the Company's deferred
         tax balances were as follows:



                                                                                         2000                     1999

         The Company files a consolidated tax return with its parent. The
         Company's parent has not completed the required federal income tax
         filings for the year ended December 31, 2000, and neither the Company
         nor its parent, has paid federal income taxes related to the year ended
         December 31, 1999. Further, the Company has not recognized any income
         tax expense, income taxes payable or deferred taxes in its balance
         sheet as of December 31, 2000, or in its related statements of income,
         retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. The ultimate
         resolution and effect of these matters have not been determined.

         As a result of the losses from operations and the subsequent bankruptcy
         filings and sale of assets, it is not likely the Company will realize
         any future benefits from income tax loss carry forwards or from
         deferred tax assets, therefore, no benefit was recorded in 2000 for any
         deferred tax loss carry forward and all other deferred items were fully
         reserved.

   9.    MAJOR CUSTOMERS

         The Company has significant transactions with two customers. These
         customers, which are both heavy truck manufacturers, accounted for 58%
         and 25% of the Company's sales in 2000 and 1999, respectively and 52%
         and 12% of the accounts receivable balances at December 31,2000 and
         1999. The Company evaluates its credit exposures with these customers
         regularly and records bad debt reserves for any amounts deemed
         un-collectible.




  10.    RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain accounts have been reclassified in 1999 to compare to the 2000
         presentation.

Item 7(b).

                           CORE MATERIALS CORPORATION
                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

         On October 16, 2001, Core Composites Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Core Materials Corporation, purchased substantially all of the
assets, consisting primarily of inventory, accounts receivable and manufacturing
equipment, of Airshield Corporation pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement dated as of October 10, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The unaudited
pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared from and should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for Core Materials Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in
Core Materials' report on Form 10-K, and the financial statements of Airshield
Corporation as of December 31, 2000, which are included in this Current Report
on Form 8-K.

         The pro forma combined balance sheet assumes that the acquisition took
place on September 30, 2001, and combines Core Materials' September 30, 2001,
unaudited balance sheet and Airshield's September 30, 2001, unaudited balance
sheet.

         The pro forma combined statement of operations assumes that the
acquisition took place as of the beginning of the periods presented. The
combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000, combines
Core Materials' audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
2000, and Airshield's audited statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2000. The combined statement of operations for the period ending
September 30, 2001, combines Core Materials' unaudited statement of operations
for the period ending September 30, 2001, and Airshield's unaudited statement of
operations for the period ending September 30, 2001.

         In management's opinion, the pro forma results of operations are not
indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition
been consummated at the beginning of the period presented and is not intended to
be a projection of future results. Pro forma adjustments that give effect to
actions taken by management or other efficiencies expected to be realized as a
result of the transactions are not reflected in the following pro forma results
of operations. Core Materials has not completed the allocation of the purchase
price for this acquisition. Core Materials is continuing to assess the
components, including customer lists, patents and goodwill, of the net
intangible assets acquired. Additionally, the amounts of certain payroll
liabilities assumed and the transaction expenses are yet to be finalized.
Therefore, the amount of cost in excess of fair value of tangible net assets
purchased could be adjusted once these items are finalized.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The following adjustments give pro forma effect to the transaction:

         (a)      Adjustment to reflect Airshield assets not acquired and
                  Airshield liabilities not assumed by Core Materials
                  Corporation as a part of the acquisition.

         (b)      Adjustment to reflect the cash used to fund the acquisition.

         (c)      Adjustment to reflect the assets acquired and certain payroll
                  liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value.

         (d)      Adjustment to reflect the excess of acquisition cost over the
                  estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The purchase
                  price and preliminary purchase price allocation are summarized
                  as follows:


                                                                                              
                  Purchase price (including acquisition related costs of $100,000)                  $1,894,000
                  Estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired:
                       Accounts receivable                                              1,758,200
                       Inventories                                                        293,713
                       Property and equipment                                             166,375
                       Payroll related liabilities                                     (1,512,529)
                                                                                    -------------

                  Total                                                                               $705,759

                  Cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired                               $1,188,241
                                                                                                 =============



         (e)      Adjustment to reflect the net effect of: 1) adjusting
                  depreciation expense to be based on the fair value of the
                  property and equipment acquired 2) adjusting cost of goods for
                  the effect of recording the inventory acquired at its fair
                  value 3) eliminating the interest expense reflected on
                  Airshield's statement of operations for borrowings which were
                  not assumed by Core Materials and 4) elimination of interest
                  income reflected on Core Materials statement of operations to
                  reflect the use of cash to purchase the net assets of
                  Airshield.

         (f)      Adjustment to reflect Core Materials estimated effective tax
                  rate of 42 % for 12/31/00 and 41% for 9/30/01.

         (g)      Adjustment to record the amortization of the cost is excess of
                  fair value of tangible net assets acquired by Core Materials
                  as part of the acquisition has not been recorded as Core
                  Materials has not completed its assessment of the components
                  of the intangible assets acquired. To the extent amounts are
                  subsequently allocated to items such as customer lists and
                  patents, a resulting amortization would be recorded based on
                  the appropriate estimated life of these assets. In accordance
                  with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142
                  "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" any amount of the
                  intangible asset allocated to goodwill would not be amortized
                  but instead the related asset would be regularly evaluated for
                  impairment.
