NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except for per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

1.		The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission’s rules and regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

		The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

2.		Beginning in 2005, the Company changed from a calendar year end to a 52-53 week fiscal year end. The Company’s fiscal quarters are now comprised of 13-week periods and once every seven years, starting in 2008, the fourth quarter will be 14 weeks in length. The second quarter of 2005 and 2004 ended on July 2 and June 30, respectively.

3.		On March 24, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with GE Capital Equity Holdings, Inc., 3i Group plc, 3i Europartners II LP, Roberto Poli and Alberto Bombonato to acquire for 24.9 million euros, subject to post closing adjustments, Vimercati, S.p.A. (“Vimercati”), an Italian full service switch products supplier for the automotive industry. The closing of the purchase of Vimercati was conditioned on (i) customary closing conditions, and (ii) the pre-emptive right of a Vimercati shareholder. In April 2005, this shareholder gave notice of his intent to exercise his pre-emptive right. In May 2005, pursuant to the pre-emptive right, the shareholder acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Vimercati. Therefore, the stock purchase agreement was terminated and pursuant to the termination provisions of the stock purchase agreement, the Company recovered a substantial portion of acquisition-related expenses.

4.		Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 75% and 67% of the Company’s inventories at July 2, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all other inventories. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consist of the following:


	July 2,			December 31,
	2005			2004
Raw materials	$	30,837		$	31,583
Work in progress		11,511			10,216
Finished goods		17,007			15,685

		59,355			57,484
Less: LIFO reserve		(1,378	)		(1,087	)

Total	$	57,977		$	56,397

5.		A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver, or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt at July 2, 2005, per quoted market sources, was $203.6 million and the carrying value was $200.0 million.

		The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency forward and option contracts, to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on short-term, foreign currency denominated intercompany

STONERIDGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except for per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

transactions and other known foreign currency exposures. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Swedish krona, British pound, Mexican peso and euro. The foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other income. The option contracts are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of operating income. The Company’s foreign currency forward and option contracts substantially offset gains and losses on the underlying foreign denominated transactions. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for speculative or profit motivated purposes. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts have a notional value of $18.6 million and reduce exposure related to the Company’s krona and pound denominated receivables. The estimated fair value of these contracts at July 2, 2005, per quoted market sources, was approximately $1.0 million. The Company’s foreign currency option contracts have a notional value of $0.3 million and reduce the risk associated with the Company’s other known foreign currency exposures. The estimated fair value of these contracts at July 2, 2005, per quoted market sources, was approximately $0.3 million.

6.		Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company determined that the carrying value of one of the Company’s reporting units, which is included in the Control Devices reportable segment, exceeded its fair value by $183.5 million. The corresponding write-down of goodwill to its fair value was reported as a component of operating loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 2004.

		There was no change in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment during the first six months of 2005.

7.		At July 2, 2005, the Company had three share-based compensation plans. One plan is for employees and two plans are for non-employee directors. Prior to the second quarter of 2005, the Company accounted for its plans under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” adopted prospectively for all employee and director awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003, under the provisions of SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of SFAS 123.” Because the Company adopted the fair value method on a prospective basis, the cost related to share-based compensation recognized during the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value method had been applied to all awards granted since the original effective date of SFAS 123.

		Effective at the beginning of the second quarter of 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective-transition method. Because the Company had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions required by SFAS 123, and due to the fact that all unvested awards at the time of adoption were being recognized under a fair value approach, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not impact the Company’s operating income, income before income taxes, net income, cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from financing activities, or basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005.

		The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Total compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $416 and $256 for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, total compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $742 and $537, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $156 and $96 for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, the total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $279 and $201, respectively. There was no compensation cost capitalized as inventory or fixed assets for either 2005 or 2004.

In October 1997, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan). The Company has reserved 2,500,000 Common Shares for issuance to officers and other key employees under the Incentive Plan. Under the Incentive Plan, the Company has granted cumulative options to purchase 1,594,500 Common Shares to management with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. The options issued cliff-vest ratably from one to five years after the date of grant. In addition, the Company has also issued 495,300 restricted Common Shares under the Incentive Plan, of which 232,000 are time-based with graded vesting (graded vesting attribution method) over a period of one to four years while the remaining 263,300 restricted Common Shares are performance-based. Approximately one-half of the performance-based restricted Common Share awards vest and will no longer be subject to forfeiture upon the recipient remaining an employee of the Company for three years from time of grant and upon the achievement of certain net income per share targets established by the Company. The remaining one-half of the performance-based restricted Common Share awards also vest and will no longer be subject to forfeiture upon the recipient remaining an employee for three years from time of grant and upon the Company’s attainment of certain targets of performance measured against a peer group’s performance in terms of total return to shareholders. The actual number of restricted Common Shares to ultimately vest will depend on the Company’s level of achievement of the targeted performance measures and the

(in thousands, except for per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

employees’ attainment of the defined service requirements. Restricted Common Shares awarded under the Incentive Plan entitle the shareholder to all the rights of Common Share ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of during the forfeiture period.

In May 2001, the Company issued options to purchase 60,000 Common Shares to directors of the Company with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. The options granted cliff-vest one year after the date of grant.

In May 2002, the Company adopted the Director Share Option Plan (Director Option Plan). The Company has reserved 500,000 Common Shares for issuance under the Director Option Plan. Under the Director Option Plan, the Company has granted cumulative options to purchase 86,000 Common Shares to directors of the Company with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. The options granted cliff-vest one year after the date of grant.

In April 2005, the Company adopted the Directors’ Restricted Shares Plan (Director Share Plan). The Company has reserved 300,000 Common Shares for issuance under the Director Share Plan. Under the Director Share Plan, the Company has cumulatively issued 41,600 restricted Common Shares, which will cliff-vest over a period of one year.

The fair value of options granted under the Incentive Plan and Director Option Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life of options granted is derived from the output of the option-pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s Common Shares.


	2004			2003			2002
Risk-free interest rate		1.43	%		2.44	%		4.71	%
Expected dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $2.28 for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004. There have been no options granted in 2005. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $13 and $220, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $33 and $2,957, respectively. As of July 2, 2005, the aggregate intrinsic value of both outstanding and exercisable options was zero.

The fair value of the nonvested time-based restricted Common Share awards was calculated using the market value of the shares on the date of issuance. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares granted was $10.23 for both the three and six months ended July 2, 2005. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares granted was $15.73 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

The fair value of the nonvested performance-based restricted Common Share awards with a performance condition, requiring the Company to obtain certain net income per share targets, was calculated using the market value of the shares on the date of issuance. The fair value of the nonvested performance-based restricted Common Share awards with a market condition, which measures the Company’s performance against a peer group’s performance in terms of total return to shareholders, was calculated using valuation techniques incorporating the Company’s historical total return to shareholders in comparison to its peers to determine the expected outcomes related to these awards.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted Common Shares as of July 2, 2005, and the changes during the six-month period then ended, is presented below:


	Time-Based Awards					Performance-Based Awards
				Weighted-				Weighted-
				Average				Average

Nonvested at July 2, 2005		246,724			11.82		263,300		8.24

As of July 2, 2005, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested time-based restricted Common Share awards granted was $1,967. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested based on service conditions during the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 was $110 and $117, respectively. No time-based restricted Common Share awards vested during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2004.

As of July 2, 2005, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance-based restricted Common Share awards granted was $699. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. No performance-based restricted Common Share awards have vested as of July 2, 2005.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $55 and $312, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises of the share-based payment arrangements totaled $51 and $1,109 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.

9.		On May 1, 2002, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The $200.0 million senior notes bear interest at an annual rate of 11.50% Senior notes, due 2012. The senior notes are redeemable in May 2007 at 105.75. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. On July 1, 2002, the Company completed an exchange offer of the senior notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

		In conjunction with the issuance of the senior notes, the Company also entered into a new $200.0 million credit agreement with a bank group. The credit agreement had the following components: a $100.0 million revolving facility (of which $96.1 million was available at July 2, 2005, after consideration of outstanding letters of credit), which includes a $10.0 million swing line facility and a $100.0 million term facility. The revolving facility expires on April 30, 2008 and requires a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.500% on the unused balance. The revolving facility permits the Company to borrow up to half its borrowings in specified foreign currencies. Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the prime rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, depending upon the Company’s ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined. Interest on the swing line facility is payable monthly at the quoted overnight borrowing rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, depending upon the Company’s ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined.

Net income per share amounts for all periods are presented in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the presentation of basic and diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted net income per share

was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. Actual weighted-average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:


	For the Three				For the Six
	Months Ended				Months Ended
	July 2,		June 30,		July 2,		June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004

Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		22,985		22,873		22,933		22,849

Options to purchase 483 and 475 Common Shares at an average price of $13.94 and $16.56 per share were outstanding during the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Options to purchase 300 and 475 Common Shares at an average price of $16.11 and $16.56 per share were outstanding during the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. These outstanding options were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their respective exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Common Shares and, therefore, their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company has announced restructuring initiatives related to the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities in the high cost regions of Europe and North America. This rationalization is part of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,678 and $3,804 in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2005. The restructuring charges related to the Control Devices reportable segment included the following:

Remaining expected restructuring charge	$	916		$	—		$	916

All restructuring charges, except for the asset-related charges, result in cash outflows. Asset-related charges primarily relate to accelerated depreciation and the write-down of property, plant and equipment, resulting from the closure or streamlining of certain facilities. Severance costs relate to a reduction in workforce. Facility closure costs primarily relate to asset relocation and lease termination costs. Other exit costs include miscellaneous expenditures associated with exiting business activities. At this time, the Company expects that these restructuring efforts will be substantially completed during the second quarter of 2006.

12.		In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, workers’ compensation and product liability disputes. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.

		As previously disclosed, a judgment was entered against the Company in the District Court (365^th Judicial District) in Maverick County, Texas on January 15, 2004. The plaintiffs alleged in their complaint that a Company fuel valve installed as a replacement part on a truck caused a fire after an accident resulting in a death. The plaintiffs are the parents of the decedent. The final judgment entered against the Company was approximately $36.5 million. The Company denied its fuel valve contributed to the fire and believed that there were valid grounds to reverse the judgment on appeal. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company settled this case with the plaintiffs. A final judgment was entered by the trial court on June 21, 2005. The Company’s insurance covered 100% of the settlement amount. As a result, the resolution of this litigation did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has a single defined benefit pension plan that covers certain employees in the United Kingdom and a single postretirement benefit plan that covers certain employees in the United States. Components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost are as follows:


	Pension Benefit Plan
	For the Three Months Ended						For the Six Months Ended
	July 2,			June 30,			July 2,			June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004

Interest cost		22		22		44		44

Net periodic benefit cost	$	45	$	45	$	90	$	90

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that it expected to contribute $183 to its defined benefit pension plan in 2005. As of July 2, 2005, the Company has not yet made any contributions to its defined benefit pension plan in 2005 but plans to make the expected contribution during the third quarter of 2005.

14.		The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $1,815, or 39.2% of pre-tax income, and $4,172, or 31.0% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $5,107, or 41.6% of pre-tax income, and $8,733, or 32.1% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 and the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of 2004 was attributable to the affect of foreign losses related to certain operations in the United Kingdom. The Company believes that the related tax benefit may not be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets associated with those foreign losses for both the first and second quarter of 2005.

15.		In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs,” as an amendment to ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage). This Statement requires that these items be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement becomes effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

16.		Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to their 2005 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

17.		SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer.

		The Company has two reportable segments: Vehicle Management & Power Distribution and Control Devices. These reportable segments were determined based on the differences in the nature of the products offered. The Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment produces electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment produces electronic and electromechanical switches and control actuation devices and sensors.

		As a result of changes in executive leadership during 2004, the Company realigned senior management responsibilities under four operating segments effective for the fourth quarter of 2004. These four operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes into the Company’s Vehicle Management & Power Distribution and Control Devices reportable segments. The Company’s chief executive officer also changed the profit measure used to evaluate the business to “Income Before Income Taxes.” In addition to the 2004 changes, the Company further realigned management responsibilities effective for the second quarter of 2005. As a result, a component within the Control Devices reportable segment was realigned to the Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment. Because the Company changed the structure of its internal organization in a manner that caused the composition of its reportable segments to change, the corresponding information for prior periods has been adjusted to conform to the current year reportable segment presentation.

		The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Company’s December 31, 2004 Form 10-K. The Company’s chief executive officer evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, capital expenditures and income before income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.

Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

We are a leading, independent designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic components, modules and systems for the automotive, medium- and heavy-duty truck, agricultural and off-highway vehicle markets.

We recognized net income for the second quarter of 2005 of $2.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $9.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2004.

We recognized net income for the six-month period ended July 2, 2005 of $7.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $18.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2004.

Our second quarter of 2005 results were affected by a number of challenging industry-wide issues, including intense competition, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies, and lower North American light vehicle production levels. We continuously work to address these challenges by implementing a broad range of initiatives aimed to improve operating performance. In addition to our restructuring initiatives, we have implemented lean manufacturing principles, consolidated our purchasing activities and continually evaluate the opportunity to manufacture products in low cost locations.

Operating inefficiencies related to our restructuring efforts, primarily due to retention issues, also affected our second quarter of 2005 results. These restructuring initiatives include the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities in the high cost regions of Europe and North America. We recently began a transition of additional production from the U.S. to Mexico by announcing the closing of a wire harness plant in the U.S. The production lines will transition to Mexico over the next nine months. In connection with our overall restructuring plan, we recorded charges of $1.7 million for the second quarter and $3.8 million for the first six months of 2005. We expect the total cost of our restructuring efforts for 2004 and 2005 to approximate $7.5 million. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Significant factors inherent to our markets that could affect our results for the remainder of 2005 include our ability to successfully execute our planned restructuring program, to mitigate commodity price increases, and to implement planned productivity and cost reduction initiatives. Our results for the remainder of 2005 also depend on conditions in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries, which are generally dependent on U.S. and global economies.

Results of Operations

We are organized based primarily on markets served and products produced. Under this organization structure, our operating segments have been aggregated into two reportable segments: Vehicle Management & Power Distribution and Control Devices. The Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment includes results of operations from our operations that primarily design and manufacture electronic instrument clusters, electronic control units, driver information systems and electrical distribution systems, primarily wiring harnesses and connectors for electrical power and signal distribution. The Control Devices reportable segment includes results of operations from our operations that primarily design and manufacture electronic and electromechanical switches, control actuation devices and sensors.

Beginning in 2005, we changed from a calendar year end to a 52-53 week fiscal year end. Our fiscal quarters are now comprised of 13-week periods and once every seven years, starting in 2008, the fourth quarter will be 14 weeks in length. The second quarter of 2005 and 2004 ended on July 2 and June 30, respectively.

Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

Net Sales. Net sales for our reportable segments, excluding intersegment sales, for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 are summarized in the following table.


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2,		June 30,		$ Increase /			% Increase /
	2005		2004		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

Control Devices	$	80,623	$	85,134	$	(4,511	)		(5.3	)%
Vehicle Management & Power Distribution		99,684		92,922		6,762			7.3

Total net sales	$	180,307	$	178,056	$	2,251			1.3	%

The decrease in net sales for our Control Devices reportable segment during the second quarter of 2005 was primarily attributable to lower North American light vehicle production and price reductions. The increase in net sales for our Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment was primarily due to an increase in commercial vehicle production, partially offset by price reductions. Net sales were favorably affected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, which increased sales by $1.4 million.

Net sales by geographic location for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 are summarized in the following table.


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2,		June 30,		$ Increase /			% Increase /
	2005		2004		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

North America	$	142,835	$	143,534	$	(699	)		(0.5	)%
Europe and other		37,472		34,522		2,950			8.5

Total net sales	$	180,307	$	178,056	$	2,251			1.3	%

North American sales accounted for 79.2% of total net sales for the second quarter of 2005 compared with 80.6% for the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in North American net sales was primarily attributable to decreased sales to the North American light vehicle market and price reductions. Net sales outside North America accounted for 20.8% of total net sales for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 19.4% for the second quarter of 2004. The increase in net sales outside of North America was primarily attributable to increased commercial vehicle production and favorable currency exchange rates, partially offset by price reductions.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2005 increased by $6.1 million, or 4.6%, to $138.5 million from $132.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased to 76.8% from 74.4% for the second quarter of 2004. This increase as a percentage of sales was predominately due to operational inefficiencies resulting from our restructuring efforts, price reductions and reduced light vehicle volume. We expect that these challenges will continue to affect our gross margin through the remainder of 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2005 increased by $5.3 million to $31.1 million from $25.8 for the comparable period in 2004. Included in SG&A expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were product development expenses of $9.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily reflects increased investment in our product development activities, which are focused on occupant safety, chassis, driveline and driver information products. The increase also reflects increased sales and marketing activity and bad debt expenses of $0.9 million recorded during the second quarter of 2005 as the result of customer bankruptcies. Additionally, SG&A for the second quarter of 2005 included the favorable settlement of a $2.0 million commercial dispute, the majority of which was offset by an unfavorable commercial dispute settlement of $1.4 million. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 17.3% for the second quarter of 2005 from 14.5% for the corresponding period in 2004.

Restructuring Charges. In January 2005, we announced that we would undertake restructuring efforts related to the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities in the high cost regions of Europe and North America. This rationalization is a result of our cost reduction initiatives. Restructuring charges recorded by reportable segment during the second quarter of 2005 were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
			Vehicle
			Management &		Total Consolidated
	Control Devices		Power Distribution		Restructuring Charges

Severance costs	$	586	$	9	$	595
Asset-related charges		163		—		163
Facility closure costs		746		—		746
Other costs		174		—		174

Total restructuring charges	$	1,669	$	9	$	1,678


	For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
			Vehicle
			Management &		Total Consolidated
	Control Devices		Power Distribution		Restructuring Charges

Asset-related charges	$	205	$	—	$	205

Total restructuring charges	$	205	$	—	$	205

All restructuring charges, except for the asset-related charges, result in cash outflows. Asset-related charges relate primarily to accelerated depreciation and the write-down of property, plant and equipment, resulting from the closure or streamlining of certain facilities. Severance costs relate to a reduction in workforce. Facility closure costs primarily relate to asset relocation and lease termination costs. Other exit costs include miscellaneous expenditures associated with exiting business activities.

Total restructuring costs for 2004 and 2005 related to the Control Devices reportable segment are expected to approximate $6.4 million, which includes $3.5 million of severance costs, $1.1 million of asset-related impairment charges, $1.2 million of facility closure costs and $0.6 million of other exit costs. Total restructuring costs for 2004 and 2005 related to the Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment are expected to approximate $1.1 million, which includes $1.0 million of severance costs and $0.1 million of asset-related impairment charges.

Other Income, net. Other income, which primarily represented equity earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries and effects of foreign exchange, was $1.7 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The increase of $1.6 million was predominately attributable to the increase in equity earnings recognized from our joint ventures in Brazil and India.

Income Before Income Taxes. Income before income taxes, which is the primary profitability measure used by our chief executive officer, is summarized in the following table by reportable segment for the three months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004.


	For the Three Months Ended
	July 2,			June 30,			$ Increase /
	2005			2004			(Decrease)

Control Devices	$	510		$	9,490		$	(8,980	)
Vehicle Management & Power Distribution		7,514			8,806			(1,292	)
Other corporate activities		2,471			1,335			1,136
Corporate interest expense		(5,865	)		(6,177	)		312

Income before income taxes	$	4,630		$	13,454		$	(8,824	)

The decrease in income before income taxes at the Control Devices reportable segment was primarily the result of operational inefficiencies due to our restructuring activities, decreased North American light vehicle production, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies and increased product development activities.

The decrease in income before income taxes at the Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment was primarily the result of higher commodity costs, price reductions and increased product development activities offset by increased commercial vehicle production.

Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2005 for North America decreased by $7.4 million to $2.5 million from $9.9 million for the corresponding period in 2004. Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2005 outside North America decreased to $2.1 million from $3.5 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in our global profitability was primarily due to operating inefficiencies related to restructuring efforts, the decrease in passenger car and light truck production, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies and increased product development activities, partially offset by increased commercial vehicle production.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recognized a provision for income tax of $1.8 million, or 39.2% of pre-tax income, and $4.2 million, or 31.0% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to the impact of foreign losses related to certain operations in the United Kingdom. We believe that the related tax benefit may not be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets associated with those foreign losses during the second quarter of 2005.

Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

Net Sales. Net sales for our reportable segments, excluding intersegment sales, for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 are summarized in the following table.


	For the Six Months Ended
	July 2,		June 30,		$ Increase /			% Increase /
	2005		2004		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

Control Devices	$	162,427	$	175,815	$	(13,388	)		(7.6	)%
Vehicle Management & Power Distribution		198,707		178,264		20,443			11.5

Total net sales	$	361,134	$	354,079	$	7,055			2.0	%

The decrease in net sales for our Control Devices reportable segment during the first six months of 2005 was primarily attributable to lower North American light vehicle production and price reductions. The increase in net sales for our Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment was primarily due to an increase in commercial vehicle production, partially offset by price reductions. Net sales were favorably affected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, which increased net sales by $3.2 million.

Net sales by geographic location for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 are summarized in the following table.


	For the Six Months Ended
	July 2,		June 30,		$ Increase /			% Increase /
	2005		2004		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

North America	$	283,271	$	286,069	$	(2,798	)		(1.0	)%
Europe and other		77,863		68,010		9,853			14.5

Total net sales	$	361,134	$	354,079	$	7,055			2.0	%

North American net sales accounted for 78.4% of total net sales for the first six months of 2005 compared with 80.8% for the first six months of 2004. The decrease in North American net sales was primarily attributable to decreased sales to the North American light vehicle market and price reductions. Net sales outside North America accounted for 21.6% of total net sales for the first six months of 2005 compared to 19.2% for the first six months of 2004. The increase in net sales outside North America was primarily attributable to increased commercial vehicle production and favorable currency exchange rates.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2005 increased by $13.4 million, or 5.2%, to $274.1 million from $260.6 million in the first six months of 2004. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased to 75.9% from 73.6% for the first six months of 2004. This increase as a percentage of sales was predominately due to operational inefficiencies resulting from our restructuring efforts, price reductions, higher commodity costs, and reduced light vehicle volumes. We expect that these challenges will continue to affect our gross margin through the remainder of 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2005 increased by $7.6 million to $61.5 million from $53.9 million in the first six months of 2004. Included in SG&A expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were product development expenses of $21.0 million and $16.8 million, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily reflects increased investment in our product development activities, which are focused on occupant safety, chassis, driveline and driver information products. The increase also reflects an increase in sales and marketing activity and bad debt expenses recorded during the second quarter of 2005 of $0.9 million as the result of customer bankruptcies. Additionally, SG&A for the first six months of 2005 included the favorable settlement of a $2.0 million commercial dispute, the majority of which was offset by an unfavorable commercial dispute settlement of $1.4 million. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 17.0% for the first six months of 2005 from 15.2% for the corresponding period in 2004.

Restructuring Charges. In January 2005, we announced that we would undertake restructuring efforts related to the rationalization of certain manufacturing facilities in the high cost regions of Europe and North America. This rationalization is part of our cost reduction initiatives. Restructuring charges recorded by reportable segment during the first six months of 2005 were as follows:

Income before income taxes	$	12,291		$	27,233		$	(14,942	)

The decrease in income before income taxes for the first six months of 2005 at the Control Devices reportable segment was primarily the result of operational inefficiencies due to our restructuring activities, decreased North American light vehicle production, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies and increased product development activities.

The decrease in income before income taxes for the first six months of 2005 at the Vehicle Management & Power Distribution reportable segment was primarily the result of higher commodity costs, price reductions and increased product development activities offset by increased commercial vehicle production.

Income before income taxes for the first six months of 2005 for North America decreased by $12.2 million to $7.5 million from $19.7 million for the corresponding period in 2004. Income before income taxes for the first six months of 2005 outside North America decreased by $2.7 million to $4.8 million from $7.5 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in our global profitability was primarily due to operating inefficiencies related to restructuring efforts, the decrease in passenger car and light truck production, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies and increased product development activities, partially offset by increased commercial vehicle production.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recognized a provision for income tax of $5.1 million, or 41.6% of pre-tax income, and $8.7 million, or 32.1% of pre-tax income, for federal, state and foreign income taxes for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to the impact of foreign losses related to certain operations in the United Kingdom. We believe that the related tax benefit may not be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets associated with those foreign losses during the first six months of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.0 million and $19.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $14.4 million was primarily due to a decrease in our profitability, largely attributable to operating inefficiencies related to our restructuring efforts, the decrease in passenger car and light truck production, price reductions, higher commodity costs, customer bankruptcies and increased product development activities. Higher uses of cash for working capital requirements also contributed to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used by investing activities was $10.7 million and $11.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in net cash used by investing activities of $0.7 million was attributable to a slight increase in capital expenditures offset by proceeds received from a sale of fixed assets in the United Kingdom in 2005.

Net cash used by financing activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and was primarily related to share-based compensation activity.

As discussed in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $18.6 million to reduce exposure related to our krona- and pound-denominated receivables. The estimated fair value of these contracts at July 2, 2005, per quoted market sources, was approximately $1.0 million. We have also entered into foreign currency option contracts with a notional value of $0.3 million to reduce the risk associated with our other known foreign currency exposures. The estimated fair value of these contracts at July 2, 2005, per quoted market sources, was approximately $0.3 million. The foreign currency forward contracts are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other income. The option contracts are marked to market, with gains and losses recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of operating income. Our forward foreign exchange and option contracts substantially offset gains and losses on the underlying foreign-denominated transactions. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or profit motivated purposes. We believe that our use of these instruments to reduce risk is in our best interest.

Future capital expenditures are expected to increase as management targets specific growth opportunities and future organic growth is expected to be funded through cash flows from operations. We will continue to focus on reducing our weighted-average cost of capital and believe that cash flows from operations and the availability of funds from our credit facilities and senior notes will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our future growth and operating needs. As outlined in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have a revolving credit facility of which $96.1 million was available at July 2, 2005. We also had $44.6 million in available cash at July 2, 2005, and believe we will have access to the debt and equity markets should the need arise.

Our credit facilities contain various covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of certain specified ratios of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA, interest coverage and fixed charge coverage. Restrictions also include limits on capital expenditures, operating leases and dividends. We were in compliance with all covenants at July 2, 2005.

Inflation and International Presence

We believe that our operations have not historically been adversely affected by inflation; however, given the current economic climate and recent increases in certain commodity prices, we believe that a continuation of such price increases could significantly affect our profitability. By operating internationally, we are affected by the economic conditions of certain countries. Based on the current economic conditions in these countries, we believe we are not significantly exposed to adverse economic conditions.

Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, the Company is exposed to certain market risks, primarily resulting from the effects of changes in interest rates. At July 2, 2005, however, all of the Company’s outstanding debt was fixed-rate debt.

Commodity Price Risk

Given the current economic climate, the Company has been experiencing risk related to pricing of certain commodities, particularly with respect to copper and resins. The Company is managing this risk through a combination of fixed-price agreements, staggered short-term contract maturities and commercial negotiations with its suppliers. The Company is also considering pursuing alternative commodities or alternative suppliers to mitigate this risk over a period of time. At this time, the Company does not intend to use financial instruments to mitigate this risk. The increases in certain commodity costs have negatively affected the Company’s operating results, and a continuation of such price increases could affect its profitability.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company’s risks related to foreign currency exchange rates have historically not been material; however, given the current economic climate, the Company is monitoring this risk. The Company does not expect the effects of this risk to be material in the future based on the current operating and economic conditions in the countries in which it operates. Therefore, a 10.0% change in the value of the U.S. dollar would not significantly affect the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposures to market risk since December 31, 2004, as reported in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 4.		Controls and Procedures.

As of July 2, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 2, 2005.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 2, 2005 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, workers’ compensation and product liability disputes. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.

As previously disclosed, a judgment was entered against the Company in the District Court (365^th Judicial District) in Maverick County, Texas on January 15, 2004. The plaintiffs alleged in their complaint that a Company fuel valve installed as a replacement part on a truck caused a fire after an accident resulting in a death. The plaintiffs are the parents of the decedent. The final judgment entered against the Company was approximately $36.5 million. The Company denied its fuel valve contributed to the fire and believed that there were valid grounds to reverse the judgment on appeal. In the second quarter 2005, the Company settled this case with the plaintiffs. A final judgment was entered by the trial court on June 21, 2005. The Company’s insurance covered 100% of the settlement amount. As a result, the resolution of this litigation did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
