IMPCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003

1)       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

               The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and the results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the transition period ended December 31, 2002.  The consolidated financial statements of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (“IMPCO” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2003 include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries IMPCO-BERU Technologies B.V. (“IMPCO BV”) and Grupo I.M.P.C.O. Mexicano, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“IMPCO Mexicano”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries IMPCO Technologies, Pty. Limited (“IMPCO Pty”) and IMPCO Tech Japan K.K. (“IMPCO Japan”), and its joint ventures Minda IMPCO Technologies Limited and CNGC-IMPCO Technologies, LLC (“CNGC”). The Company has a 40% interest in a joint venture, Minda IMPCO Limited, and uses the equity method for reporting the results of this entity. The Company has purchased 50% of B.R.C. Societá a Responsabilita Limitata (“BRC”). The Company will use the equity method to recognize the assets and liabilities of BRC in the Company’s consolidated results.  The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, or for any future period.

          The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. In addition, the unaudited condensed statements of operations and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 present the operating results of the Company’s former Quantum division as a discontinued operation. On July 22, 2002, the Company completed the distribution and spin-off of its Quantum division by distributing one share of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies, Inc. stock for every share of IMPCO common stock held on the July 5, 2002 record date. As a result of this spin-off, the Company no longer holds any interest in Quantum.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

               In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 introduces a new consolidation model, the variable interests model, which determines control (and consolidation) based on potential variability in gains and losses of the entity being evaluated for consolidation. The requirements for FIN 46, including its disclosures, apply immediately.

               FIN 46 provides guidance for determining whether an entity qualifies as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by considering, among other considerations, whether the entity lacks sufficient equity or its equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. If the entity does not qualify as a VIE, then the consolidation criteria is based on previously established accounting standards. Qualifying VIEs are covered by FIN 46 and are individually evaluated for consolidation based on their variable interests. FIN 46 requires consideration and estimates of a significant number of possible future outcomes of the VIE as well as the probability of each outcome occurring. Based on the allocation of possible outcomes, a calculation is performed to determine which party, if any, has a majority of potential negative outcomes (expected losses) or a majority of the potential positive outcomes (expected residual returns), with an emphasis on negative outcomes. That party, if any, is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company has evaluated the potential effect of FIN 46 as of June 30, 2003 and does not expect that there will be any material effect on its consolidated financial statements at July 1, 2003.

2)       DISCONTINUED OPERATION

          On July 23, 2002, the Company completed the distribution and spin-off of its Quantum subsidiary by distributing one share of Quantum common stock for every share of IMPCO common stock held on the record date, which was July 5, 2002.  The Company also made a contribution in cash of approximately $15.0 million to Quantum as part of the spin-off transaction.  As a result of the spin-off of Quantum, the Company no longer holds any continuing interest in Quantum.

          The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 effective as of May 1, 2002. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of Quantum are presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Losses from the discontinued operation, net of a tax benefit, were approximately $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and include net revenue of approximately $6.3 million and $12.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

(a)  Bank of America NT&SA

Loan covenants and collateral.    The Bank of America credit facility contains certain restrictions, as well as limitations on other indebtedness, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  In June 2003, the credit facility with Bank of America was amended to extend the maturity date of the Company’s line of credit to July 15, 2003 and to accelerate the maturity date of all other Bank of America facilities to July 15, 2003. The amendment also waived the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization and the debt service coverage service ratio.  On July 21, 2003 the Company completed the refinancing of the Bank of America debt and secured additional financing to complete the 50% acquisition of BRC.  All of the amounts outstanding under the Bank of America agreements including accrued interest were settled in full.

Revolving line of credit.    The $5.5 million revolving line of credit bears interest, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 8%, or 12.25%. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding line of credit balance was $5,500,000.

Table of Contents

Term loan.     In accordance with the amended bank agreement dated June 24, 2003, the term loan bears interest, payable on a monthly basis, at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 8%, or 12.25%.  As of June 30, 2003, the term loan had a balance of $3,812,000.

Capital leases and capital expenditure lines of credit facilities.    The Company has two non-revolving capital expenditure line of credit facilities and two capital leases with Bank of America. The interest rate for each of the capital expenditure lines of credit is prime plus 8%, or 12.25%. At June 30, 2003, the first line of credit had a balance of approximately $1,016,000.  The second line of credit had a balance of $783,000.

The Company’s capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2003 with Bank of America are approximately $7,000 and $176,000 and bear interest rates of 3.3% and 3.1%, respectively. These obligations are classified on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 as part of current maturities of long-term debt and capital leases.

(b)  Credit facility—Fortis Bank

IMPCO BV has secured a EUR 2,300,000 (US$2,100,000) revocable credit facility with Fortis Bank in the Netherlands. The interest rate is determined on a weekly basis using a weighted average of several money market indices. IMPCO BV’s borrowings under this facility may not exceed the combined total of 70% of the book value of its eligible accounts receivable and 50% of the book value of its inventory (or the current market value when lower) with a maximum of EUR 1,000,000. At June 30, 2003, the interest rate was 4.0% with no outstanding balance.

(c)  The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.

Line of Credit.    In April 2002, IMPCO Japan secured a ¥64,000,000 (US$535,000) line of credit facility with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd., Osaka Branch. This line of credit was renewed in March 2003 with a fixed interest rate of 1.685% for a period of 12 months and matures in April 2004. The line of credit is cash secured with cash from a restricted account with National Australian Bank Limited, which issued a stand-by letter of credit to HSBC as collateral for the line of credit. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding loan balance was ¥64,000,000 (US$535,000) bearing an interest rate of 1.685%.

(d) Notes payable

In the months of April and May of 2003 the Company entered into agreements with investors to provide $3,050,000 in bridge loans, of which $1,400,000 was from an entity related to one of the Company’s directors.  The bridge loans bear interest at a rate of 12% and mature in October 2003.  In conjunction with the bridge loan agreements the Company issued warrants to the investors to purchase 305,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.46, or 120% of market price.

(e) Other finance loans

In February and May of 2003, the Company financed certain insurance policies through a third party lender.  As of June 30, 2003 the balance of these loans was approximately $410,000, which mature in March 2004 and bear interest at 5.62%.

At June 30, 2003, the Company’s weighted average interest rate was 11.5%.

6)       BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

          The Company classifies its business into two operating segments: United States Operations (“U.S. Operations”) and International Operations. Due to the spin-off of the Quantum subsidiary on July 23, 2002, IMPCO has reported the results of Quantum as a loss from discontinued operation on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  U.S. Operations sells products, including parts and conversion systems, for applications in the transportation, material handling, stationary and portable power generator, and general industrial markets. International Operations in Australia, Europe, Japan, India, China and Mexico provide distribution for the Company’s products, predominantly from U.S. Operations and some product assembly.

          The Company recognizes revenue for product sales when title is transferred, ordinarily when product is shipped, and when management is reasonably assured of collectibility. Corporate expenses represent a sub-category of selling, general and administrative expense. Corporate expenses consist of general and administrative expense incurred at the corporate level and, prior to May 1, 2002, included the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. Intersegment eliminations are primarily

the result of intercompany sales from U.S. Operations to International Operations. End markets for the Company’s products include the transportation and industrial markets, which includes the material handling and power generation industries.

          The Company expenses all research and development when incurred. Research and development expense includes both contract-funded research and development and Company sponsored research and development.

          Net revenue and operating income for the Company’s business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 are as follows:

7)       INCOME TAXES

               Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year without giving effect to any change with respect to the valuation allowance on deferred income taxes. The effective tax rate and amount of the valuation allowance are subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management.

               Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The Company believes, based on its history of prior operating earnings, its completed spin-off of Quantum and its expectations of future earnings, that operating income of the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to recognize fully these net deferred tax assets. In December 2002, we recognized a $24.0 million valuation allowance based on the weight of available evidence that a portion of these deferred tax assets would not be realized within the next three years, notwithstanding that some of these assets may have longer lives under applicable tax laws.  At December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 the total amounts recognized as net deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets were $9.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, which was net of valuation allowances of $24.0 million, respectively.

8)       BUSINESS ACQUISITION

               On October 3, 2002, the Company entered into an option agreement with the equity holders of BRC under which the Company was granted an option to acquire a 50% ownership interest in M.T.M. S.r.l. of Italy (“MTM”) for approximately $23.8 million, which included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of Company common stock (which the parties acknowledged and agreed were valued at $10.0 million). The Company announced on May 8, 2003 that the purchase of 50% of BRC was completed pending a $7.0 million payment that represented the deferred portion of the purchase price due on September 30, 2003. On July 22, 2003, in conjunction with the refinancing of the Company, the deferred payment of $7.0 million was paid to the equity holders of BRC consequently completing the 50% acquisition of BRC. As of June 30, 2003, the Company has incurred acquisition costs of approximately $24.4 million, which is shown on the consolidated balance sheet as part of investment in affiliates. The corresponding costs incurred as of December 31, 2002 totaled $12.5 million.  As of June 30, 2003, the Company is currently completing the allocation of the purchase price of approximately $24.4 million to the

11

Company’s share of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as required by purchase accounting for acquisitions using the equity method. The Company has not allocated the purchase price to goodwill, if any. The Company expects to complete the allocation during the third quarter of 2003. BRC owns 100% of the outstanding interests of MTM, the operating Company for BRC. The unaudited condensed balance sheet for MTM as of June 30, 2003 follows:

9)       STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

               In connection with the spin-off of Quantum, all stock options outstanding on the spin-off date were split into one option of IMPCO stock and one option of Quantum stock.  The exercise price of both the IMPCO and Quantum stock options was adjusted based on the relative market values of the common stock of both companies on the first trading day following the spin-off. Options exercised prior to the spin-off of Quantum were made at the exercise price prior to such adjustment.  All vesting schedules remained the same and the option holders will not be required to exercise their options concurrently. 

               On January 11, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $11.25 per share for $22.5 million. The Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.25 per share. Each purchaser was issued a warrant to purchase one-tenth of a share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased under the agreement. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock to the placement agent in connection with the transaction. A total of 300,000 warrants were outstanding at June 30, 2003 and the warrants are exercisable at any time until January 11, 2006.

               On May 8, 2002, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of its common stock to institutional and accredited investors. The Company received proceeds of approximately $18.75 million.

               In February 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 12, 2003. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options initially covering up to 800,000 shares of the common stock of the Company.

               On March 28, 2003, the Company granted 200,000 warrants to purchase common stock at a price of $2.51, 120% over market price, in connection with an $8.0 million loan commitment from a director expiring May 31, 2003 and subsequently extended to July 31, 2003 (if exercised the interest is payable monthly at 12% with a maturity of January 31, 2004). The warrants expire in four years. If the commitment is exercised, the Company will grant 600,000 warrants on similar terms. As of June 30, 2003, the Company did not exercise its option under this agreement and did not receive any proceeds from this loan commitment. As of June 30, 2003, the Company recognized the cost of the warrants, by utilizing the Black-Scholes fair value option model. Approximately $129,000 was recognized as expense during the second quarter of 2003. Additionally, on June 30, 2003 this director purchased the 10% minority interest in IMPCO Mexicano from the minority holder, who exercised his put option for $0.5 million.

               On April 14, 2003, the Company issued warrants, fully vesting with a five-year expiration period, to lenders to acquire 305,000 shares of IMPCO common stock at a price 120% over the market price of $2.05 in connection with bridge loans totaling approximately $3.1 million. The loans are due and payable in October 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the Company recognized the cost by utilizing the Black-Scholes fair value option model. Approximately $168,000 was recognized as expense during the second quarter of 2003.

12)     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

                    In July 2003, the Company completed financing arrangements with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC (“LaSalle”) and Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC (“Bison”). This financing provided the Company with funds to repay all of its Bank of America debt facility totaling approximately $11.3 million, provided funds to pay the $7.0 million deferred payment to

13


Table of Contents

complete the 50% acquisition of BRC, and provided working capital. The LaSalle facility is a three-year asset-based line of credit totaling $12.0 million. The Bison facility is a senior subordinated secured four-year note in the amount of  $20.0 million. The availability under the asset-based line of credit is based on a percentage of eligible inventory and accounts receivable balances associated with the Company’s domestic business and bears an interest rate of prime plus 1%. LaSalle has a security interest in essentially all the U.S. assets of the Company.  The Bison note is secured by the foreign assets of the Company. 

                    The Bison senior subordinated secured note in the amount of $20.0 million is a four-year term loan in which the Company received proceeds of approximately $17.3 million and bears interest at the rate of 11.25%. The loan discount amount of approximately $2.7 million will be charged to interest expense over the term of the note. The Company also issued to Bison stock warrants, exercisable immediately, to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.00.

                    In accordance with SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-term Obligations Expected To Be Refinanced, the term loans, the capital expenditure loans, and the capital leases associated with the Bank of America debt at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 have been reclassed from short-term liabilities to long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank of America line of credit remained as a short-term liability in both balance sheets because it was financed by the short-term asset-based lending agreement. The $7.0 million obligation due to BRC is classified as a long-term liability at June 30, 2003 because it was financed by the senior subordinated secured note.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that follows, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and assumptions. We use words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: we may be unable to raise additional capital necessary to fund our operations and capitalize on market opportunities; our business depends on the growth of the alternative fuel market, particularly in international markets; our recent spin-off of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (“Quantum”) is subject to tax risks for us and our stockholders, including restrictions on our issuance of equity securities in order to maintain the tax-free status of the spin-off; we face significant competition, which could decrease our revenue and market share; we face risks of operating internationally, including potential foreign currency exposure, difficulty and expense of complying with foreign laws and regulations and political instability; new technologies could render our products obsolete; we may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights; we depend on third-party suppliers to supply materials and components for our products; we may be subject to increased warranty claims due to lengthened warranty periods being offered by our OEM customers; the market for our products could be adversely affected by changes in environmental and other policies and regulations; we may be subject to litigation if our stock price is volatile; and changes in general economic conditions could materially affect our results of operations. This list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive. Reference should also be made to the factors set forth from time to time in our SEC reports, including but not limited to, those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the transition period ended December 31, 2002. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

          We design, manufacture and supply components and systems that include fuel metering, electronic control and fuel storage products that enable internal combustion engines to run on clean burning alternative fuels such as propane and natural gas instead of gasoline. Based on over 44 years of technology development and expertise in producing cost-effective, safe and durable fuel technology systems for engines, we believe that we are positioned to provide enabling products and technologies in the rapidly expanding alternative fuel industry.

          Prior to the spin-off of Quantum, we classified our business operations into three reporting segments: the Quantum division, the Gaseous Fuel Products division and International Operations. Due to the spin-off of our Quantum division on July 23, 2002, this division is now classified as a discontinued operation, and we have renamed the Gaseous Fuel Products division as the United States Operations (“U.S. Operations”). U.S. Operations sells products, including parts and conversion systems, for applications in

14


Table of Contents

the transportation, material handling, stationary and portable power generator and general industrial markets. Our International Operations in Australia, Europe, India, Japan, China and Mexico provide distribution for our products, predominantly from U.S. Operations and some product assembly on engines.

          We recognize revenue for product sales when title is transferred, ordinarily when products are shipped, and when management is reasonably assured of collectibility. Corporate expenses represent a sub-category of selling, general and administrative expense. Corporate expenses consist of general and administrative expense incurred at the corporate level and, prior to May 1, 2002, included the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. Intersegment eliminations are primarily the result of intercompany sales from U.S. Operations to International Operations. End markets for our products include the transportation and industrial markets, which includes the material handling, industrial and power generation industries.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

          Quantum Spin-off.    On July 23, 2002, we completed the distribution and spin-off of our Quantum subsidiary by distributing one share of Quantum common stock for every share of IMPCO common stock held on the record date, which was July 5, 2002. As a result of the spin-off of Quantum, we have reported the results of Quantum as a discontinued operation.  We expect the spin-off of Quantum to have a favorable effect on our results of operations and cash flows from operations.

          Fiscal Year. On November 29, 2002, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31. We prepared a Transitional Report on Form 10-K covering the period from May 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002. For purposes of comparability of financial reporting during 2003, we presented our financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 to correspond to the new fiscal year.

          Business Acquisition On October 3, 2002, we entered into an option agreement with the equity holders of BRC under which we were granted an option to acquire a 50% ownership interest in M.T.M. S.r.l. of Italy (“MTM”) for approximately $23.8 million, which included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of Company common stock (which the parties acknowledged and agreed were valued at $10.0 million). We announced on May 8, 2003 that the purchase of 50% of BRC was completed pending a $7.0 million payment that represented a deferred portion of the purchase price due on September 30, 2003. On July 22, 2003, in conjunction with the refinancing of our Company, the deferred payment of $7.0 million was paid to the equity holders of BRC consequently completing the 50% acquisition of BRC. As of June 30, 2003, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $24.4 million and are shown on the consolidated balance sheet as part of investment in affiliates. The corresponding costs incurred as of December 31, 2002 totaled $12.5 million.  As of June 30, 2003, we are currently completing the allocation of the purchase price of approximately $24.4 million to our share of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as required by purchase accounting for acquisitions using the equity method. We have not allocated the purchase price to goodwill, if any, which we expect to complete during the third quarter of 2003. BRC owns 100% of the outstanding interests of MTM. The unaudited condensed balance sheet for MTM as of June 30, 2003 follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

          The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

15


Table of Contents

America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, goodwill, taxes, inventories, warranty obligations, long-term service contracts, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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 may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

          We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

          We recognize revenue for product sales when title is transferred, ordinarily when products are shipped, and when management is reasonably assured of collectibility.   The costs of shipping and handling, when incurred, are recognized in the cost of goods sold.   We expense all research and development when incurred.

          We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required.

          We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

          We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

          We operate wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We recorded goodwill at the time of purchase for the amount of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the goodwill, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

          We recorded a net deferred tax asset, which we believe is more likely than not to be realized. While we consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an additional valuation allowance would be recognized and charged to income in the period such a determination was made.

          We recognize the financial results for discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operation. Cash flows related to discontinued operations are segregated from continuing operations in the statement of cash flows.

(1)     Represents corporate expenses not allocated to any of the operating segments.

          Net revenue decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 5.3%, from $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 to $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2003. The second quarter 2003 decrease was due to a $0.9 million decrease in net sales of our products to the industrial market and a $0.1 million decrease in net sales of our products to the transportation market. The decline in sales to the industrial market was due to an increase in sales to the U.S. industrial market offset by a decline in sales to European and Asian industrial markets, which we believe are lagging the U.S. industrial market recovery. Net revenues for the six-months ended June 30, 2003 increased by $3.1 million, or 8.9%, to $37.9 million from $34.8 million in the corresponding period of 2002. The revenue increase was attributed to increases in the industrial and transportation markets of $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The revenue gain in the transportation segment was realized primarily in the U.S. and European markets. The revenue gain in the industrial market was realized primarily in the United States market.

          Operating income increased during the second quarter of 2003 by approximately $0.8 million, or 201.7%, from $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in operating income was attributed primarily to a reduction in operating expenses of $1.3 million partially offset by a $0.5 million decline in gross profit. Approximately $0.3 million of the decline in gross profit was due to lower revenues and $0.2 million of the decline was due to product mix. Operating income increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 by approximately $3.9 million, or 231.7%, from a $1.7 million loss in the first half of calendar year 2002 to a $2.2 million profit in the corresponding period of 2003. The increase in operating income was attributed primarily to a reduction in operating expenses of $1.9 million and $2.0 million in higher gross profit of which $0.9 million was attributed to higher revenues and $1.1 million was associated with product mix.

          US Operations Division.  For the three months ended June 30, 2003, revenue decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 3.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales during the second quarter of 2003 was caused by a $0.4 million decrease in sales to our international operations for sales to the transportation market. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenue increased by approximately $2.6 million, or 10.6%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales during the first half of 2003 was caused by a $1.6 million increase in revenue for the industrial market and by a $1.0 million increase in revenue for the transportation market.

          Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 17.4%, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2002. For the three-month period, approximately $0.5 million of the decrease in gross profit was due to changes in product mix and approximately $0.2 million was due to the decrease in revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 gross profit increased approximately $0.8 million, or 12.4%, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2002. For the six-month period, approximately $0.1 million of the increase in gross profit was due to changes in product mix and approximately $0.7 million was due to the increase in revenue.

Table of Contents

          For the three months ended June 30, 2003, operating income increased by more than $0.3 million, or 21.6%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase for the three-month period was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit of $0.7 million offset by $1.0 million in lower operating expenses due to management’s continuing focus on reducing operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating income increased by more than $2.5 million, or 219.7%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase for the six-month period was mainly due to the increase in gross profit of $0.8 million and by $1.7 million in lower operating expenses. Significant cost reductions occurred in sales and marketing and the research functions since the third quarter of 2002, which are reflected in the current year’s financials.

          International Operations   For the three months ended June 30, 2003, revenue decreased by approximately $1.9 million, or 16.9%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales during the second quarter of 2003 was caused by a $0.4 million decrease in revenue for the industrial market and by a $1.5 million decrease in revenue for the transportation market. The decline in sales to the transportation market was primarily due to a large fleet conversion program in Mexico in the prior year; however, the Mexico transportation market has grown an average of over 14% per quarter for each of the last two quarters. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenue increased by approximately $0.4 million, or 1.9% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales during the first half of 2003 was caused by a $0.5 million increase in revenue for the transportation market and by a $0.1 million decrease in revenue for the industrial market.

          Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased approximately $0.4 million, or 15.1%, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2002. For the three-month period, approximately $0.8 million of the increase in gross profit was due to changes in product mix partially offset by approximately $0.4 million due to the decrease in revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 gross profit increased approximately $1.5 million, or 37.3%, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2002. For the six-month period, approximately $1.4 million of the increase in gross profit was due to changes in product mix and approximately $0.1 million was due to the increase in revenue.

          For the three months ended June 30, 2003, operating income increased by more than $0.5 million, or 104.0%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase for the three-month period was mainly due to the increase in gross profit of $0.4 million and by $0.1 million in lower operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating income increased by more than $1.2 million, or 471.1%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase for the six-month period was mainly due to the increase in gross profit of $1.5 million partially offset by $0.3 million in higher operating expenses.

          Corporate Expenses.  Corporate expenses consist of general and administrative expenses at the corporate level to support our operating segments in areas such as executive management, finance, human resources, management information systems, legal services and investor relations.  As of May 1, 2002, the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets is no longer recorded as a corporate expense due to the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million of amortization of goodwill and other intangibles were charged to corporate expense, respectively. Expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million less than the corresponding periods of 2002, respectively, reflecting a $0.1 million reduction in the quarterly level of expenditures for corporate expenses excluding the effect of the amortization of goodwill.

          Interest Expense.  Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $1.0 million compared to net interest expense of approximately $0.2 million for the corresponding period of 2002, or an increase of $0.8 million, or 400%. This increase consisted of the amortization of warrant costs, fees, and interest costs in connection with bridge loans made in the second quarter of 2003 in the amount of $0.5 million, refinance expenses of $0.1 million, and $0.2 million in higher interest costs and commitment fees from Bank of America. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $1.2 million compared to net interest expense of approximately $0.2 million for the corresponding period of 2002, or an increase of $1.0 million, or 500%. In addition to the explanations for the second quarter increase in net interest expense, average monthly cash balances during the first six months of 2002 were approximately $20.0 million as a result of private equity placements in January and May of 2002 that provided total cash proceeds of approximately $40.0 million. Consequently, interest income during the six months ended June 20, 2002 exceeded interest income for the corresponding period of 2003 by $0.2 million.

          Provision For Income Taxes.  The estimated effective annual tax rate of 40% for fiscal year 2003 approximates the previous year’s tax rate of 40% excluding the effect of the $24.0 million valuation allowance recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002 (note 7). The effective tax benefit rate represents the federal statutory income tax rate, state income taxes and foreign income taxes increased by research and development credits. For the period ended June 30, 2003, we had a federal research and development tax credit carryforward available for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6.2 million that, if not used, expires between 2010 to 2022. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $66.5 million expire between 2020 and 2021. Additionally, we have an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward available for federal income tax purposes of approximately $0.2 million and a foreign tax credit of $0.7 million that expires in December 2003 if not utilized. We also have research and development credit

carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $4.4 million, which do not expire for tax reporting purposes. State net operating loss carryforwards of $29.1 million expire between 2010 and 2012. In December 2002, we recognized a $24.0 million valuation allowance based on the weight of available evidence that a portion of these deferred tax assets would not be realized within the next three years, notwithstanding that some of these assets may have longer lives under applicable tax laws.  At December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 the total amounts recognized as net deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets were $9.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, net of valuation allowances of $24.0 million, respectively.

          Discontinued Operation. As a result of the spin-off of Quantum, we no longer hold any continuing interest in Quantum. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of Quantum are presented as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Losses from the discontinued operation, net of a tax benefit, were approximately $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and include net revenue of approximately $6.3 million and $12.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

               Our ongoing operations are funded by cash generated from operations, debt financings and sales of our equity securities. In addition, these sources of cash provide for capital expenditures and research and development, as well as to invest in and operate our existing operations and prospective new lines of business.

               As of June 30, 2003, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $3.0 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 million at December 31, 2002. During July 2003, we entered into an asset-based lending facility with a maximum credit limit of $12.0 million with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC and a senior subordinated secured note for $20.0 million with Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC. The proceeds from the debt facilities were used to refinance approximately $11.3 million Bank of America debt, to finance the deferred $7.0 million payment to complete the BRC acquisition and to provide additional working capital. On July 21, 2003, the Bank of America debt and accrued interest were paid in full, and on July 22, 2003, the $7.0 million deferred payment due to the equity holders of BRC was paid to complete the acquisition of BRC. In addition, in July and August of 2003, approximately $1.0 million was paid in principal and accrued interest to certain holders of short-term bridge loans. Approximately $2.1 million in bridge loans are still outstanding at June 30, 2003.

               Advances made under the asset-based credit facility are based on a percentage of eligible inventory and accounts receivable balances. This line of credit has an initial three-year term and bears interest at prime plus 1%. There is no assurance that we will be able to borrow the maximum amount under the line of credit of $12.0 million, presently, or over the term of the facility. The lender has a secured interest in substantially all the U.S. assets of the Company. The senior subordinated secured note of $20.0 million has a four-year term and bears a fixed interest rate of 11.25%. The proceeds from the loan were approximately $17.3 million. The discount amount of $2.7 million is accounted for as a loan discount and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. The Bison note is secured by the foreign assets of the Company.

               Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.6:1.0 at June 30, 2003 and 1.5:1.0 at the end of our transition period at December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, our total working capital had increased by $3.4 million to $14.6 million from $11.2 million at December 31, 2002. This increase is due primarily to the classification of approximately $5.6 million of the Bank of America debt to long-term liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 6, increases in accounts receivable of $1.4 million, cash of $1.0 million, other current assets of $1.4 million, and deferred taxes of $0.6 million, offset primarily by increases in accounts payable of  $3.3 million, the issuance of bridge loans for $3.1 million.

               Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was $3.7 million, compared to $3.3 million used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The cash flow provided by operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2003 of $3.7 million resulted primarily from net income from continuing operations of $0.2 million, adjusted positively for depreciation allowance, amortization of interest expense, and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries of $1.6 million. Additional positive cash flows were the result of a $3.3 million increase in accounts payable, and a $1.9 million increase in accrued expenses. These items were offset by a $0.4 million increase in inventory, a $1.4 million increase in net accounts receivable, and a $1.5 million increase in other assets.  For the comparable six months ended June 30, 2002, cash used by operating activities was $3.3 million consisting of a net loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million, offset positively for depreciation allowance, deferred taxes provision for bad debts, and minority interest totaling $3.0 million. Other positive influences on cash flow from operations consisted of a $2.2 million decrease in inventory, a $1.9 million increase in accounts payable, and a $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses. Offsetting negative influences included a $6.0 million increase in accounts receivable and a $3.7 million increase in other assets. 

               Net cash used in investing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was $5.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase is due primarily to acquisition costs related to BRC totaling $4.8

million offset by a reduction in the purchase of capital equipment of $1.1 million.

               Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was $2.2 million or a decrease of $28.8 million from $31.0 million provided by financing activities in the six-months ended June 30, 2002. This decline was due primarily to the net proceeds of approximately $40.0 million from our January and May 2002 private placements offset by 2002 payments on lines of credit and capital leases totaling $8.9 million. Financing activities in the first six months of 2003 were highlighted by the issuance of $3.1 million in bridge loans offset by payments on credit facilities totaling $1.7 million.

               For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash provided totaled $1.0 million after the effect of translation adjustments of $0.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the net increase of cash was $20.1 million consisting of $25.5 million provided by continuing operations and $0.9 million attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments, offset by $6.3 million used in discontinued operation.

               At June 30, 2003, the Bank of America credit facility was secured by substantially all of our assets.  In June 2003, the credit facility with Bank of America was amended to extend the maturity date of our line of credit to July 15, 2003 and to accelerate the maturity date of all other Bank of America facilities to July 15, 2003. The amendment also waived the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization and the debt service coverage service ratio.  On July 21, 2003 we completed the refinancing of the Bank of America debt and secured additional financing to complete the 50% acquisition of BRC.  All of the amounts outstanding under the Bank of America agreements including accrued interest were settled in full.

               Our subsidiary in the Netherlands has a Euro 2.3 million (US$0.8 million at December 31, 2002) credit facility with Fortis Bank. At June 30, 2003, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.

               Our subsidiary in Japan has a ¥64 million (US$0.5 million at December 31, 2002) short-term loan facility with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd., Osaka Branch. At June 30, 2003, a balance of US$0.5 million was outstanding.

               On October 3, 2002, we entered into an option agreement with the equity holders of BRC under which we were granted an option to acquire a 50% ownership interest in M.T.M. S.r.l. of Italy (“MTM”) for approximately $23.8 million, which included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of Company common stock (which the parties acknowledged and agreed were valued at $10.0 million). We announced on May 8, 2003 that the purchase of 50% of BRC was completed pending a $7.0 million payment that represented a deferred portion of the purchase price due on September 30, 2003. On July 22, 2003, in conjunction with the refinancing of our Company, the deferred payment of $7.0 million was paid to the equity holders of BRC consequently completing the 50% acquisition of BRC. As of June 30, 2003, we incurred acquisition costs of approximately $24.4 million and are shown on the consolidated balance sheet as part of investment in affiliates. The corresponding costs incurred as of December 31, 2002 totaled $12.5 million.  As of June 30, 2003, we are currently completing the allocation of the purchase price of approximately $24.4 million to our share of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as required by purchase accounting for acquisitions using the equity method.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

          We have used derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. While these hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and do not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative purposes.

          The results and financial condition of our international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between certain foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar. Our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates has increased as a result of the growth of our international subsidiaries. The functional currency for all of our international subsidiaries is the local currency of the subsidiary. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar increases costs incurred by the subsidiaries because most of our international subsidiaries’ inventory purchases are U.S. Dollar denominated. We monitor this risk and attempt to minimize the exposure through forward currency contracts and the management of cash disbursements in local currencies. At June 30, 2003, we had no currency forward contracts outstanding.

          We seek to hedge our foreign currency economic risk by minimizing our U.S. Dollar investment in foreign operations using foreign currency term loans to finance the operations of our foreign subsidiaries. The term loans are denominated in local currencies and translated to U.S. Dollars at period end exchange rates.

          We have used interest rate swap agreements with Bank of America to manage our exposure to interest rate changes and stabilize the cost of borrowed funds. When an agreement is executed, the swap is linked to a specific debt instrument. At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $4.4 million secured under a fixed interest rate agreement at a fixed interest rate of 10.6%. On March 24, 2003, the swap agreement with Bank of America was cancelled. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements were approximately $0.2 million, and was included as part of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002. We recognized the loss of fair value ($0.2 million) of this cash flow hedge, which had been carried as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, as interest expense as of December 31, 2002.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

               In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 introduces a new consolidation model, the variable interests model, which determines control (and consolidation) based on potential variability in gains and losses of the entity being evaluated for consolidation. The requirements for FIN 46, including its disclosures, apply immediately.

               FIN 46 provides guidance for determining whether an entity qualifies as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by considering, among other considerations, whether the entity lacks sufficient equity or its equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. If the entity does not qualify as a VIE, then the consolidation criteria is based on previously established accounting standards. Qualifying VIEs are covered by FIN 46 and are individually evaluated for consolidation based on their variable interests. FIN 46 requires consideration and estimates of a significant number of possible future outcomes of the VIE as well as the probability of each outcome occurring. Based on the allocation of possible outcomes, a calculation is performed to determine which party, if any, has a majority of potential negative outcomes (expected losses) or a majority of the potential positive outcomes (expected residual returns), with an emphasis on negative outcomes. That party, if any, is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. We have evaluated the potential impact of FIN 46 as of June 30, 2003 and have concluded that there is no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated the potential effect of FIN 46 as of June 30, 2003 and do not expect that there will be any material effect on its consolidated financial statements at July 1, 2003.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          Information relating to Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk appear under the heading “Derivative Financial Instruments” which is included in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

               The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are likely materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

               On October 3, 2002, the Company entered into an option agreement with the equity holders of BRC under which the Company was granted an option to acquire a 50% ownership interest in M.T.M. S.r.l. of Italy (“MTM”) for approximately $23.8 million, which included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of Company common stock (which the parties acknowledged and agreed were valued at $10.0 million). The Company announced on May 8, 2003 that the purchase of 50% of BRC was completed pending a $7.0 million payment that represented a deferred portion of the purchase price due on September 30, 2003. On July 22, 2003, in conjunction with the refinancing of the Company, the deferred payment of $7.0 million was paid to the equity holders of BRC consequently completing the 50% acquisition of BRC. As of June 30, 2003, the Company has incurred acquisition costs of approximately $24.4 million and is shown on the consolidated balance sheet as part of investment in affiliates. The corresponding costs incurred as of December 31, 2002 totaled $12.5 million.  As of June 30, 2003, the Company is currently completing the allocation of the purchase price of approximately $24.4 million to the Company’s share of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities as required by purchase accounting for acquisitions using the equity method.
