FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Cambridge Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 1998 and the results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentations. 2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive earnings be reported in an annual financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. This Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive earnings by their nature in an annual financial statement. For example, other comprehensive earnings may include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial statements for prior periods will be reclassified, as required. The Company's total comprehensive earnings were as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Net loss .............................. $ (3,695) $(10,451) $ (6,107) $ (8,916) Unrealized foreign currency translation (225) (208) (306) (210) -------- -------- -------- -------- Total comprehensive earnings .......... $ (3,920) $(10,659) $ (6,413) $ (9,126) ======== ======== ======== ======== 5 3.

In connection with the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"), the Company intends to caution readers that there are several important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in its forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, made herein or that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company wishes to ensure that meaningful cautionary statements accompany any forward-looking statements in order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor provided by the Reform Act. Accordingly, the Company has set forth a list of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements or predictions made herein and from time to time by the Company. Specifically, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially different from such forward-looking statements and predictions as a result of (i) customer pressures that could impact sales levels and product mix, including customer sourcing decisions, customer evaluation of market pricing on products produced by the Company and customer cost-cutting programs; (ii) the impact on the Company's operations and cash flows caused by labor strikes or work stoppages at the Company's OEM customers; (iii) operational difficulties encountered during the launch of major new OEM programs; (iv) the ability of the Company to integrate acquisitions into its existing operations and achieve expected cost savings; (v) the availability of funds to the Company for strategic acquisitions and capital investments to enhance existing production and distribution capabilities; and (vi) the ability of the Company, as well as its vendors and customers, to address year 2000 processing issues on a timely basis.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 REVENUES The Company's sales increased by $2.3 million, or 2.1%, to $112.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $109.8 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1997. The increase in sales was due in part to the 1997 acquisitions of Goodyear-Jackson and the Plastics Division of Eagle-Picher in July and Owens-Corning Brazil in September, along with the Livingston acquisition in January 1998 (collectively the "Acquisitions"). Sales for the Acquisitions in aggregate increased by $4.2 million, or 13.2%, to $36.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $32.0 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1997. Sales at existing Cambridge facilities decreased $1.9 million, resulting from: the adverse impact of the General Motors work stoppages in the United States ("the strike"), Canada and Mexico, changes in product mix due to the build out of the Honda bumper and sunshades in 1997, and lower volumes on the Viper, Jeep and Ford's Taurus/Sable wagon load floors. These decreases were offset, in part, by the volumes associated with the launch of GMX130 (Grand Am) and Cadillac S5S, increased volumes (strike adjusted) on C-5 Corvette, Ford 4.6L Rocker Arm Cover, PN 96 Fan Shroud, Ford Cross-Car Beam, GMT 530, Volvo, Ford Ranger Splash, Kenworth T-2000 and Freightliner. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit decreased by $3.7 million or 25.6%, to $10.6 million for 1998, compared to $14.3 million in 1997. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased from 13.0% in 1997 to 9.5% in 1998. The decrease was due in part to the Acquisitions, whose aggregate gross profits decreased by $0.6 million or 16.5%, to $3.2 million, compared to $3.8 million in 1997. The remaining decrease can be attributed to the following: the adverse impact of the General Motors work stoppages in the United States, Canada and Mexico; the associated costs of closing the Marion facility; the launching of the ITT nose cone; and the realignment of products among the Company's divisions. Certain changes in the Company's product mix, including the balancing out of the Honda bumpers, and lower volumes on the Taurus/Sable wagon load floors and Honda sunshades, also negatively impacted gross margins. Higher volumes (strike adjusted) on such programs as F-series truck, Freightliner, Volvo, Ford 4.0L CAM Cover, C-5 Corvette, Cadillac S5S, and GMX 130, partially offset the negative impact on gross margins. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $9.1 million increased to 8.1% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $8.2 million or 7.4% of sales for the same 1997 period. The increase in SG&A of $0.9 million resulted from the Company's 16 continuing investment in such areas as program management, business expansion efforts, sales and marketing, and information systems. Additionally, the lower revenues associated with the GM strike resulted in SG & A costs representing an increased percentage of revenues. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM In 1997, the Company retired all of its outstanding indebtedness with the proceeds from the Company's offering of 10.25% senior subordinated notes and borrowings under a new credit agreement. In connection with this refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $9.2 million (net of tax), reflecting the write-off of existing deferred financing costs, remaining original issue discount and expense upon early extinguishment of debt. NET INCOME The Company recorded a net loss of $3.7 million in the 1998 period, compared to a net loss, before an extraordinary loss of $9.2 million, of $1.3 million in the 1997 period. This increase in net loss was the result of the items previously mentioned. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 REVENUES Sales increased by $56.6 million, or 19.1%, to $353.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $296.4 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the Acquisitions, which added aggregate sales of $109.9 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to $32.0 million in the 1997 period. Sales at existing Cambridge facilities decreased $21.3 million, resulting from: the adverse impact of the General Motors work stoppages in the United States, Canada and Mexico, changes in product mix due to the build out of the Honda bumper and sunshades in 1997, and lower volumes on the Viper, Jeep and Ford's Taurus/Sable wagon load floors. These decreases were offset, in part, by the volumes associated with the launch of GMX130 (Grand Am) and Cadillac S5S, increased volumes (strike adjusted) on C-5 Corvette, Ford 4.6L Rocker Arm Cover, PN 96 Fan Shroud, Ford Cross-Car Beam, GMT 530, Volvo, Ford Ranger Splash, and Kenworth T-2000. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit decreased by $1.5 million or 3.7%, to $39.8 million for 1998, compared to $41.3 million in 1997. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased from 13.9% in 1997 to 11.3% in 1998. The net decrease was attributable to a net decrease in gross profit from existing Cambridge facilities of $4.7 million, from $37.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $32.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease was 17 partially offsest by incremental gross profits of $3.2 million contributed by the Acquisitions. The decrease in gross profit related to the existing Cambridge facilities resulted from the following: the poor operating performance at the Huntington and Marion locations until they were closed in March 1998, along with the associated costs of closing these plants and moving products to other Company locations; the adverse impact of the General Motors work stoppages in the United States, Canada and Mexico; and the realignment of products among the Company's divisions. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $26.7 million increased to 7.6% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $21.0 million or 7.1% of sales for the same 1997 period. The increase in SG&A of $5.7 million was due in part to the Acquisitions, which added SG&A costs of $2.9 million. The remaining increase in SG&A expenses reflects the Company's continuing investment in such areas as program management, business expansion efforts, sales and marketing, and information systems. NET INCOME The Company recorded a net loss of $6.1 million in the 1998 period, compared to net income, before an extraordinary loss of $9.2 million, of $0.2 million in the 1997 period. This decrease was the result of the items mentioned above and an increase in interest expense of $3.9 million to $23.7 million for the 1998 period, compared to $19.8 million for the 1997 period. The increase in interest expense for the 1998 period was primarily attributable to the increase in debt outstanding related to Acquisitions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary cash needs historically have been for operating expenses, working capital, and capital expenditures. Acquisitions have been financed through debt facilities collateralized by the Company's assets and cash flows. Management expects to spend approximately $23 million in 1998 for capital expenditures. These expenditures will be funded with cash provided by operations and revolving debt borrowings. CASH FLOWS Nine Months Ended September 30, ---------------------- 1998 1997 ---- ---- Cash flow from: Operating activities ........ $ 15,907 $ 2,582 Investing activities ........

Net loss for the 1998 period was $6.1 million. The non-cash adjustments of $24.6 million primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $22.5 million and a non-cash charge to income for postretirement benefits of $2.1 million. Changes in working capital components utilized $2.6 million, primarily the result of timing of collections on trade accounts receivable and payments of trade and tooling accounts payable and accrued interest and the utilization of certain reserves related to the Acquisitions established in 1997. Net cash flow from operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 was $2.6 million. Net income before extraordinary item for the 1997 period was $0.2 million. The non-cash adjustments of $24.4 million consisted of depreciation and amortization of $18.1 million and non-cash charges to income for postretirement benefits and deferred income taxes of $1.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Changes in working capital components utilized $22.2 million, due in part to the increased trade and tooling receivables related to the 1997 acquisition of Goodyear-Jackson and the timing of receipts of accounts receivable and an increase in reimbursable tooling. The Company spent approximately $16.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 in comparison to approximately $14.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 on capital items. Such capital items in the 1998 period primarily relate to the GMT 800, Ford PN96, Flax PP Line, Volvo L-5 program, and other various equipment upgrades. Acquisitions of $0.85 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 relate to Livingston. The $2.2 million purchase price of Livingston consisted of $0.6 million due upon closing and a $1.6 million seller note. Acquisitions of $72.2 million in the 1997 Period relate to the acquisitions of APX in February, Goodyear-Jackson and the Plastics Division of Eagle-Picher in July and Owens-Corning Brazil in September, TOTAL DEBT At September 30, 1998, the following summarizes the debt outstanding and unused credit availability: Total Amount Unused Commitment Outstanding Availability ------------------------------------ Revolvoing Credit $ 75,000 $ 18,000 $ 57,000 Term Debt 205,000 199,488 0 Bonds 100,000 100,000 0 Capital Leases & Seller Notes 7,370 7,370 0 -------- -------- -------- Total $387,370 $324,858 $ 57,000 ======== ======== ======== 19 The Credit Agreement, provides the Company with borrowing capacity of up to $280.0 million. The Credit Agreement consists of $205.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The A Term Loans and B Term Loans of the Credit Agreement will mature on the fifth and eighth anniversary of the initial borrowing, respectively, and will require annual principal payments (payable in quarterly installments) totaling approximately $7.4 million in 1998, $13.9 million in 1999, $16.4 million in 2000, $21.4 million in 2001, $34.0 million in 2002, $35.0 million in 2003, $40.0 million in 2004 and $37.1 million in 2005. The revolving credit portion of the Credit Agreement will mature on the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement is based on the Eurodollar rate plus the applicable Eurodollar margin. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, assets sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, capital expenditures and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Company believes that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, its cash from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient over the next several years to make required payments of principal and interest on its obligation due on the Notes and under the Credit Agreement, permit anticipated capital expenditures and fund working capital requirements. IMPACT OF THE GENERAL MOTORS STRIKE As of the date of this filing, the strike at General Motors has been resolved. GM is a significant customer representing approximately 25% of forecasted 1998 revenues. The strike continued through early August, and as a result, third quarter 1998 revenues and earnings were negatively impacted. It remains uncertain whether these lost revenues will be recovered by the end of the fiscal year. To reflect the negative effects of the strike on the operating results of the company, the leverage covenant was amended for the third and fourth quarters of 1998. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing computer and other operating systems as the millennium (year 2000) approaches. The issue is whether the date sensitive information within the various operating systems will properly recognize the date when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, modify and test the systems for the year 2000 compliance. It is anticipated that reprogramming efforts will be completed in early 1999 to allow adequate time for testing. To date, the inventory process whereby machines and processors are evaluated for year 2000 compliance has been substantially completed. At this time plans are being developed to address non-complying systems. The Company is considering and formulating its detailed contingency plan to be put in place in the 20 event that remedial actions are not successful. Management estimates the year 2000 compliance expense to approximate $1.0 million. Such costs will be expensed as incurred. 21 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
