PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
Delco Remy International, Inc. (the "Company"), headquartered in Anderson,
Indiana, is a leading global manufacturer and remanufacturer of original
equipment manufacturer ("OEM") and aftermarket electrical, powertrain/drivetrain
and related components for automobiles and light trucks, medium and heavy duty
trucks and other heavy duty vehicles. The Company's products include starter
motors ("starters"), alternators, engines, transmissions, traction control
systems and fuel systems. The Company serves the aftermarket and the OEM market,
principally in North America as well as in Europe, Latin America and Asia-
Pacific. The aftermarket accounted for approximately 43% of the Company's net
sales with the OEM market accounting for the balance.
The Company believes that it is the largest manufacturer and remanufacturer
in North America of (i) starters for automobiles and light trucks (including
sport-utility vehicles, minivans and pickup trucks) and (ii) starters and
alternators for medium and heavy duty vehicles. The Company's products are
principally sold or distributed to OEMs for both original equipment manufacture
and aftermarket operations, as well as to warehouse distributors and retail
automotive parts chains.
The Company sells its products principally under the "Delco Remy" brand
name and other major brand names worldwide. In addition, General Motors ("GM")
entered into a long-term contract to purchase from the Company substantially all
of its North American requirements for automotive starters and its U.S. and
Canadian requirements for heavy duty starters and alternators. GM also entered
into a distribution agreement to sell the Company's aftermarket products through
the General Motors Service Parts Operations ("SPO") distribution system, which
terminated on July 31, 1998. The Company has announced a renewed agreement with
SPO to continue the distribution of heavy duty products to the independent
aftermarket. As part of this agreement, heavy duty replacement parts will
continue to be supplied to the independent aftermarket through existing AC Delco
distributors and newly appointed Delco Remy distributors. As a result of this
agreement, the Company is developing a distribution network of independent
warehouse distributors to expand the sales volume previously covered by the
expired agreement for heavy duty aftermarket product distribution. The Company
expects that it will be able to expand its market share through this more direct
channel of distribution.
Citicorp Venture Capital Ltd. ("CVC") and Harold K. Sperlich, former
president of Chrysler Corporation, together with a subsidiary of MascoTech Inc.
("MascoTech") and certain senior management of the former Delco Remy Division of
GM (the "Former GM Division"), formed the Company for the purpose of acquiring
the assets of the automotive starter and the heavy duty starter and alternator
businesses of the Former GM Division (the "GM Acquisition"). Since the GM
Acquisition, the Company has completed nine strategic acquisitions,
substantially increasing the Company's aftermarket operations, and entered into
four international joint ventures. These acquisitions and joint ventures have
broadened the Company's product line, expanded its remanufacturing capability,
extended its participation in international markets and increased its
penetration of the retail automotive parts channel. As a result of these
acquisitions and joint ventures and the Company's focus on increasing its
participation in the aftermarket, the Company's reliance on GM has declined
since the Company's formation. Net sales to customers other than GM increased
from 41.0% in fiscal year 1995 to 62.3% in fiscal year 1998.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
In general, the Company's business is influenced by the underlying trends
of the automotive industry. The Company's focus on expanding its remanufacturing
capabilities, however, heightens the importance of the aftermarket.
Aftermarket. The aftermarket consists of the production and sale of both
new and remanufactured parts used in the maintenance and repair of automobiles,
trucks and other vehicles. Remanufacturing is a process through which used
components ("cores") are disassembled into their subcomponents, cleaned,
inspected, tested, combined with new subcomponents and reassembled into finished
products. A remanufactured product can be produced at lower cost than a
comparable individually repaired unit due to effective salvage technology
methods, high volume precision manufacturing techniques and rigorous inspection
and testing procedures. The ability to procure cores is critical to the
remanufacturing process.
Aftermarket parts are supplied principally through three distribution
channels: (i) car and truck dealers that obtain parts either through an OEM
parts organization (e.g., GM SPO, Ford Parts & Service, Chrysler Mopar,
Navistar, etc.) or directly from an OEM-authorized remanufacturer, (ii) retail
automotive parts chains and mass merchandisers; and (iii) wholesale distributors
and jobbers who supply independent services stations, specialty and general
repair shops, farm equipment dealers, car dealers and small retailers.
The Company believes that the aftermarket has been and will continue to be
impacted by the following trends: (i) the increasing number and average age of
vehicles in use and the number of miles driven annually; (ii) the increasing
demands of customers that their aftermarket suppliers meet high quality
standards; (iii) the increasing use of remanufactured parts for OEM warranty and
extended service programs; (iv) the growth and consolidation of large retail
automotive parts chains; and (v) particularly with respect to many of the
Company's products, the increasing engine output and durability demands related
to the high temperatures at which engines operate.
According to R.L. Polk, an independent provider of motor vehicle and
consumer marketing statistics, as of 1996 there were approximately 198 million
cars and light trucks registered in the United States, as compared with 162
million cars and light trucks in 1986. The average age for cars and light trucks
in 1996 was 8.5 years, as compared with an average car age of 7.9 years in 1986.
The use of remanufactured components for warranty and extended service
repairs has increased in recent years as OEMs have offered extended warranty and
extended service coverage and dealers have begun to provide extended service
plans and warranties on used vehicles. OEMs have sought to reduce warranty and
extended service costs by using remanufactured components, which generally offer
the same degree of quality and reliability as OEM products at a lower cost. This
trend has resulted in aftermarket customers requiring higher quality standards
for remanufactured products.
Recently, large retail automotive parts chains offering a broad range of
new and remanufactured products have experienced rapid growth at the expense of
small, independent retail stores. The Company has significantly grown its sales
to this channel and believes that further increasing its sales to retail chains
offers a significant opportunity for growth. Retail chains generally prefer to
deal with large, national suppliers capable of meeting their cost, quality,
volume and service requirements.
OEM Markets. The OEM market consists of the production and sale of new
component parts for use in the manufacture of new vehicles. The OEM market
includes two major classes of customers: (i) automobile and light truck
manufacturers; and (ii) medium and heavy duty truck and engine manufacturers and
other heavy duty vehicle manufacturers.
The OEM market has been impacted by recent fundamental changes in the OEMs
sourcing strategies. OEMs are consolidating their supplier base, demanding that
their suppliers provide technologically advanced product lines, greater systems
engineering support and management capabilities, just-in-time sequenced delivery
and lower system costs. As a result, each OEM has selected its own preferred
suppliers. OEMs are increasingly requiring that their preferred suppliers
establish global production capabilities to meet their needs as they expand
internationally and increase platform standardization across multiple markets.
OEMs continue to outsource component manufacturing of non-strategic parts.
Outsourcing has taken place in response to competitive pressures on OEMs to
improve quality and reduce capital outlays, production costs, overhead and
inventory levels. In addition, OEMs are increasingly purchasing integrated
systems from suppliers who provide the design, engineering, manufacturing and
project management support for a complete package of integrated products. By
purchasing complete systems, OEMs are able to shift design, engineering and
product management to fewer and more capable suppliers. Integrated systems
suppliers are generally able to design, manufacture and deliver components at a
lower cost than the OEMs due to (i) their lower labor costs and other
manufacturing efficiencies, (ii) their ability to spread research and
development and engineering costs over products provided to multiple OEMs and
(iii) other economies of scale inherent in high volume manufacturing such as the
ability to automate and leverage global purchasing capabilities.
PRODUCTS
Aftermarket. The Company's aftermarket product line includes a diverse
array of remanufactured and new products sold as replacement parts under the
"Delco Remy" brand name or under a private-label brand name specified by the OEM
or the automotive parts retailer. The Company remanufactures parts for both
domestic and imported vehicles.
Products remanufactured by the Company include starters, alternators,
engines, fuel injectors, injection pumps and turbo chargers (fuel systems),
transmissions, torque converters, water pumps, rack and pinions, power steering
pumps and gears and clutches. The Company also remanufactures subcomponents,
such as automotive armatures, rotors and solenoids, as well as component parts
shipped in bulk ("kits") for future assembly. These subcomponents are either
used internally in the remanufacturing process by the Company or sold to outside
customers.
OEM. The Company's starters are used in all cars and trucks manufactured by
GM in North America (except Saturn and Geo). The Company manufactures two types
of starters: straight drive starters and gear reduction starters. Since the
beginning of 1994, the Company has been transitioning its production line from
straight drive starters to more technologically advanced gear reduction
starters.
The Company manufactures a full line of heavy duty starters and alternators
for use primarily with large diesel engines. The Company's starters and
alternators are specified as part of the standard electrical system by most
North American heavy duty truck and engine manufacturers. The Company's starters
cover a broad range of torque and speed requirements. Certain of the Company's
automotive starters are currently being produced under technology licenses by
manufacturers in China and India, and by the Company's joint ventures in Mexico
and Korea.
The Company has recently developed several new products for heavy duty
applications, including a high output, premium heavy duty brushless alternator
for high vibration applications; a new large frame alternator designed to meet
the increasing demands in the upper power ranges of new heavy duty vehicles; and
a small heavy
<PAGE>
duty alternator for use in low output, high durability and severe environmental
applications, which the Company expects will be used principally for
agricultural and construction vehicles.
The Company also produces traction control systems for use in construction,
industrial and agricultural equipment and in medium duty trucks. The traction
control systems business combines valuable product engineering skills with
strong machining and fabrication capabilities to manufacture products with
custom designed applications.
CUSTOMERS
Aftermarket. The Company's principal aftermarket customers include OEM
dealer networks and leading automotive parts retail chains. The Company's
products are also used for warranty replacement under procedures established by
certain of the Company's OEM customers. Sales to GM SPO accounted for
approximately 25.8% of the Company's 1998 aftermarket net sales. No other
customer accounted for more than 10%.
In connection with the GM Acquisition, the Company entered into a long-term
agreement pursuant to which it designed GM, through GM SPO, as its exclusive
distributor of "Delco Remy" brand remanufactured automotive and heavy duty
starters and alternators within North America to specified customers; including
certain GM dealers, direct GM accounts, certain warehouse distributors and, with
respect to automotive products, certain retail chains. In consideration of its
being granted the foregoing exclusive distribution rights, GM agreed to purchase
from the Company 100% of its requirements for automotive starters and heavy duty
starters and alternators for sale in the aftermarket and has further agreed not
to sell any competitive products in the aftermarket channels specified above
during the term of the distribution agreement. The Company has announced a
renewed agreement with SPO to continue the distribution of heavy duty products
to the independent aftermarket. As part of this agreement, heavy duty
replacement parts will continue to be supplied to the independent aftermarket
through existing AC Delco distributors and newly appointed Delco Remy
distributors. As a result of this agreement, the Company is developing a
distribution network of independent warehouse distributors to expand the sales
volume previously covered by the expired agreement for heavy duty aftermarket
product distribution. The Company expects that it will be able to expand its
market share through this more direct channel of distribution. As to automotive
starters, the agreement terminates on July 31, 2009. The agreement, with respect
to either heavy duty or automotive products, may be terminated prior to the end
of the applicable term (i) by mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) by either
party upon a material breach by the other party, (iii) by the Company if GM
fails to achieve certain goals and objectives for reasons other than a general
decline in the economy and (iv) by GM to the extent the Company fails to meet
certain quality standards.
OEM. The Company's principal customers in its OEM automotive business are
GM's North American Operations and various GM International affiliates, who
collectively accounted for substantially all of the Company's OEM 1998
automotive starter sales. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of such
OEM net sales.
Principal customers of the Company's heavy duty OEM business include
Navistar, Freightliner, Cummins, Caterpillar, PACCAR, Detroit Diesel, GM, Ford,
Mack and Volvo Trucks. The Company has long-term agreements, with terms
typically ranging from three to five years, to supply starters and alternators
to GM, Navistar, Freightliner, PACCAR, Cummins, Volvo Trucks and Mack. In
addition, the Company is the specified supplier of heavy duty starters and
alternators for trucks manufactured for several major North American truck fleet
operators.
GM accounted for approximately 46.6% of the Company's total OEM sales in
1998.
Pursuant to long-term supply agreements, GM has agreed to purchase from the
Company 100% of its North American automotive starter requirements (other than
Saturn and Geo) and 100% of its U.S. and Canadian requirements for heavy duty
starters and alternators, in each case with respect to the Company's existing
product line as of August 1994. GM's commitments to purchase such products from
the Company in the future are subject, however, to the Company remaining
competitive as to technology, design and price. Nonetheless, GM may not
terminate the automotive starter supply agreement for failure of the Company to
be price, technology or design competitive prior to July 31, 2001. GM's
obligations to purchase automotive starters and heavy duty starters and
alternators from the Company terminate on July 31, 2004 and 2000, respectively,
except for automotive products released in 1996 and 1997, for which GM's
obligation will terminate on July 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. GM may
cancel either agreement in the event that 35% of the Company's voting shares
become owned, directly or indirectly, by another manufacturer of passenger cars
or light trucks. During the term of the relevant supply agreement. GM has
granted the Company the right to bid on starter and alternator supply contracts
for GM's operations worldwide.
The Company employs its own direct sales force, which develops and
maintains sales relationships with major North American truck fleet operators as
well as its OEM customers worldwide. These sales efforts are supplemented by a
network of field service engineers and product service engineers.
COMPETITION
Aftermarket. The aftermarket is highly fragmented and competitive.
Competition is based primarily on quality of products, service, delivery,
technical support and price. The Company's principal aftermarket competitors
include Automotive Parts Exchange (APE), Champion, Genuine Parts
(Rayloc), Motorcar Parts & Accessories (MPA), Prestolite and Unit Parts.
OEM. The automotive parts market is highly competitive. Competition is
based primarily on quality of products, service, delivery, technical support and
price. Most OEMs source parts from one or two suppliers. The Company competes
with a number of companies who supply automobile manufacturers throughout the
world. In the North American automotive market, the Company's principal
competitors include Denso, Valeo, Mitsubishi and Bosch. GM purchases
automotive starters from the Company pursuant to its long-term supply agreement
with the Company. Chrysler has eliminated production of its own starters and
currently purchases starters from independent suppliers. Ford continues to
produce certain parts for the majority of its domestic and international
applications and purchases the remainder from independent suppliers.
The heavy duty parts market is characterized by one or two dominant
suppliers in each major geographic region of the world. No competitor has a
substantial share in all regions. In the North American heavy duty market, where
the Company is the largest manufacturer, the Company's principal competitors
include Prestolite, Denso and Bosch.
STRATEGY
The Company plans to continue to strengthen its strategic positioning and
strong market position through increasing revenue and profitablity of its
aftermarket and OEM businesses (Growth Strategy) and achieving improved
manufacturing efficiency, cost reduction and increased productivity while
continuing to achieve the highest levels of quality (Operating Strategy).
Growth Strategy
Strengthening Customer Relationships. The Company intends to increase its
sales to new and existing customers by capitalizing on its balanced coverage of
the key channels of aftermarket distribution and its competitive strengths as an
OEM supplier. Additionally, the acquisition of World Wide expanded the
Company's product line and now offers a full line of starters and
alternators for domestic and import vehicles. The acquisition also has improved
the Company's distribution capabilities, which now include a nationwide
overnight delivery service.
Consolidating the Fragmented Aftermarket. The portion of the aftermarket in
which the Company participates is large and highly fragmented, with most
participants being small, regional companies offering relatively narrow product
lines. Although the Company believes that it is the largest manufacturer and
remanufacturer of aftermarket starters and alternators in North America, its
sales of these products account for less than 12% of this market. Consolidation
of the aftermarket is occurring as many competitors are finding it difficult to
meet the increasing quality, cost and service demands of customers, who, in
turn, are seeking to rationalize their supplier base. With its OEM capabilities,
remanufacturing expertise, full product line, greater access to "cores" and
ability to capitalize on economies of scale, the Company is well positioned to
benefit from the consolidation of the aftermarket.
Expanding Globally. The Company is expanding its international operations
in order to (i) benefit from the trend toward international standardization of
automotive and heavy duty vehicle platforms and (ii) participate in rapidly
growing foreign markets. This year the company made three strategic electrical
remanufacturing acquisitions; Lucas Varity, an automotive starter and alternator
remanufacturer in England, Electro Diesel Rebuild, an automotive starter and
alternator remanufacturer for the independent European aftermarket and certain
assets of Atlantic Reman Limited, a starter and alternator remanufacturer and
distributor for the Maritime Provinces in Canada. The Company also increased its
presence in foreign markets through two joint venures: Sahney Paris Rhone Ltd.
In India and a newly formed company in Brazil with Irmaos Zen S.A...
Introducing Technologically Advanced New Products. As a Tier 1 OEM
supplier, the Company continues
<PAGE>
to provide technologically advanced products by regularly updating and enhancing
its product line. Since the GM Acquisition, the Company has (i) completed the
introduction of a new family of gear reduction starters that replaced all
straight drive starters in GM vehicles for the 1998 model year and (ii)
introduced several longer-life heavy duty alternators. The Company is also
developing a small gear reduction starter specifically designed for application
on world car platforms. These new products underscore the Company's commitment
to developing state-of-the-art products that address the higher output, lower
weight and increased durability requirements of OEM customers.
Operating Strategy
"Focus" Factories to Drive Manufacturing Excellence. The Company is
shifting its OEM production from old, vertically-integrated manufacturing plants
to new, smaller and more efficient "focus" factories. The Company's focus
factories generally produce one product line in a plant designed to facilitate
lean manufacturing techniques. The Company has successfully launched five new
focus factories since 1996. When the currently planned shift to focus factories
is completed, the Company will occupy six focus factories and will have reduced
its floor space for OEM production by more than 70%. The Company believes that
the benefits of the focus factories include reduced overhead costs, enhanced
productivity, increased product quality and lower inventories.
Productivity Improvements. In conjunction with its emphasis on focus
factories, the Company continues to work with its local union representatives to
establish best-in-class work practices, such as reducing the number of job
classifications per focus factory and implementing team-based manufacturing
processes. Since the GM Acquisition, employee productivity has increased by 33%.
The Company's labor contract with the UAW (as defined) contains provisions
that are expected to permit the Company to continue to achieve productivity
improvements in the existing and new focus factories. The increased productivity
achieved since the GM Acquisition is due primarily to continuous improvement
initiatives, the significant number of employees who have exercised their
contract rights to return ("flowback") to GM or to retire and the incentive
separation payment offered to DRA hourly employees through a voluntary employee
termination program.
Product Quality and Continuous Improvement. In fiscal year 1998, the
Company received the prestigious Supplier of the Year award from GM for the
second straight year. The Company's commitment to product quality and continuous
improvement is further evidenced by the ISO/QS9000 certification received by the
majority of its manufacturing and remanufacturing facitlites. In addition, the
Company's powertrain/drivetrain operations that remanufacture products for Ford
have received the Q-1 rating, Ford's highest quality rating, and the Company is
a Ford Authorized Remanufacturer ("Ford FAR") in six of the seven Ford Canadian
territories. Global purchasing has further enhanced the Company's continuous
improvement efforts. The Company is utilizing its international ventures to
develop new, lower cost sources of materials and is consolidating its vendor
base to fewer, more competitive suppliers.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
Pursuant to a Trademark Agreement between the Company and GM, GM has
granted the Company an exclusive license to use the "Delco Remy" trademark on
and in connection with automotive starters and heavy duty starters and
alternators until July 31, 2004, extendible indefinitely at the Company's option
upon payment of a fixed $100,000 annual licensing fee to GM. The Company has
also been granted a perpetual, royalty-free license to use the "Remy" trademark.
The "Delco Remy" and "Remy" trademarks are registered in the United States,
Canada and Mexico and in most major markets worldwide. GM has agreed with the
Company that, upon the Company's request, GM will register the trademarks in any
jurisdiction where they are not currently registered.
The Company has also been granted an exclusive license to use the "Delco
Remy" name as a tradename and corporate name worldwide until July 31, 2004
pursuant to a Tradename License Agreement between the Company and GM. In
addition, GM has granted the Company a perpetual license to use the "Remy" name
as a tradename and corporate name worldwide.
The Company owns and has obtained licenses to various domestic and foreign
patents and patent applications related to its products and processes. The
patents expire at various times over the next 16 years. While these patents and
patent applications in the aggregate are important to the Company's competitive
position, no single patent or patent application is material to the Company.
RAW MATERIALS
Principal raw materials for the Company's business include bare copper
strap, insulated copper, aluminum castings, forgings, outer frames, nomex paper,
steel coils, steel bars, copper tube, copper wire, flat steel, coil steel, bar
steel, gray iron castings, ductile iron castings, copper cross-section coils,
magnets, steel shafts, steel cores, steel wire and molding material. All
materials are readily available from a number of suppliers, and management does
not foresee any difficulty in obtaining adequate inventory supplies. The Company
and GM have entered into a long-term
<PAGE>
worldwide purchasing support agreement that allows the Company to purchase
copper wire and steel, which are used in the manufacture of starters sold to GM,
at prices that the Company believes generally to be lower than those that would
otherwise be obtainable by the Company. This agreement expires on July 31, 2004,
or earlier, upon termination of the automotive and heavy duty supply OEM
agreements between the Company and GM. The Company generally follows the North
American industry practice of passing on to its customers the costs or benefits
of fluctuation in copper and aluminum prices on an annual or semi-annual basis.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 31, 1998, the Company employed 4,833 people, 967 of whom were
salaried and administration and 3,866 of whom were hourly employees. Of the
Company's hourly employees, 41.6% are represented by unions. In the United
States, 983 of the Company's hourly workers are represented by the UAW under an
agreement between the Company and the UAW, the applicable provisions of which
were assumed by the Company in connection with the GM Acquisition. The agreement
between the UAW and the Company expires on March 22, 2001 which will require
negotiation of new agreements. In addition, 70 of the Company's hourly employees
are represented by the Teamsters. This agreement between the Teamsters and the
Company expired on August 31, 1998. This agreement was renewed between the
Company and the Teamsters expiring on August 31, 2003.
As of July 31, 1998, 143 of the Company's 641 Canadian hourly employees are
represented by the Canadian Auto Workers and 147 are represented by the
Metallurgists Unis d'Amerique. The agreements with these unions expire in
calender year 1999, which will require negotiation of new agreements.
As of July 31, 1998, approximately 176 of Autovill's 358 hourly employees
are affiliated with the Hungarian Steel Industry Workers Union. The agreement
was signed July 17, 1996 and is perpetual, subject to termination upon three
months' notice from either party.
The Company's other facilities are primarily non-union. The Company is
unaware of any current efforts to organize. There can be no assurance that there
will not be any labor union efforts to organize employees at facilities that are
not currently unionized. At the present time, the Company believes that its
relations with its employees are good.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's engineering staff works independently and with OEMs to design
new products, improve performance and technical features of existing products
and develop methods to lower manufacturing costs. In support of its engineering
efforts, the Company has formed technical alliances with a select number of
engineering and technology firms to identify long-term engineering advances and
opportunities. In support of its engineering efforts, the Company has formed
technical alliances with a select number of engineering and technology firms to
identify long-term engineering advances and opportunities. In January 1996, the
Company entered into a joint development agreement with SarCon Technology
Corporation with the goal of developing an alternator with substantially higher
power output than the current generation of alternators. The Company has also
formed technical alliances with EcoAir Corp. and Arthur D. Little to support the
Company's advanced research and development of starters and alternators.
Consistent with its strategy to introduce technically advanced new and
improved products, the Company spent approximately $11.1 million, $12.3 million
and $9.1 million in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively, on research and
development activities.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
Information about the Company's foreign operations is set forth in tables
relating to geographic information in Note 14 to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which statements are included under Item 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company's facilities and operations are subject to a wide variety of
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws, regulations and
ordinances, including those related to air emissions, wastewater discharges and
chemical and hazardous waste management and disposal ("Environmental Laws"). The
Company's operations also are governed by laws relating to workplace safety and
worker health, primarily the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and foreign
counterparts to such laws ("Employee Safety Laws"). The Company believes that
its operations are in compliance in all material respects with current
requirements under Environmental Laws and Employee Safety Laws, with the
exception of certain matters of which the Company is aware, including air
permitting or registration requirements at certain facilities. The Company
believes that any costs it may incur to resolve such matters will not be
material. The nature of the

Company's operations, however, exposes it to the risk of liabilities or claims
with respect to environmental and worker health and safety matters. There can be
no assurance that material costs will not be incurred in connection with such
liabilities or claims.
Based on the Company's experience to date, the Company believes that the
future cost of compliance with existing environmental laws, regulations and
ordinances (or liability for known environmental claims) will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws
and regulations or their interpretation, may give rise to additional compliance
costs or liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. Compliance with more
stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of
regulatory agencies or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws,
may require additional expenditures by the Company that may be material.
Certain Environmental Laws hold current owners or operators of land or
businesses liable for their own and for previous owners' or operators' releases
of hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants, including petroleum and petroleum products ("Hazardous
Substances"). Because of its operations, the long history of industrial uses at
some of its facilities, the operations of predecessor owners or operators of
certain of the businesses, and the use, production and release of Hazardous
Substances at these sites, the Company is affected by such liability provisions
of Environmental Laws. Various of the Company's facilities have experienced some
level of regulatory scrutiny in the past and are or may be subject to further
regulatory inspections, future requests for investigation or liability for past
disposal practices.
During the environmental due diligence performed in connection with the GM
Acquisition, GM and the Company identified certain on-site pre-closing
environmental conditions including the presence of certain Hazardous Substances
in the soil at the Company's Meridian, Mississippi property and in the soil and
groundwater at the Company's Anderson, Indiana property. GM has reported the
presence of these substances in the groundwater to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management ("IDEM") and has notified residents who live
downgradient of the affected GM properties. GM conducted further investigation,
which included the sampling of the residents' water wells and the installation
of an additional well offsite, and is working with EPA to resolve this issue.
The Company is in the process of vacating the Anderson and Meridian facilities
and terminating its leases or subleases as applicable with GM. Based on the
Company's experience to date, the terms of the indemnification in the GM
Acquisition agreement and GM's continuing performance in responding to these
conditions, the Company does not believe that it will expend material costs in
responding to these on-site environmental conditions.
In connection with its acquisition of facilities and businesses from GM,
Nabco, A&B Group, Autovill, Power Investments, World Wide, Ballantree, Lucas,
Electro Diesel Rebuild, Electro Rebuild Tunisia, and Atlantic Reman Limited, the
Company obtained various indemnities for certain claims related to on-site and
off-site environmental conditions and violations of Environmental Laws which
arose prior to such acquisitions. The environmental indemnities are subject to
certain deductibles, caps, cost sharing and time limitations depending on the
nature and timing of the environmental claim.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act,
as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
("CERCLA"), provides for responses to and joint and several liability for
releases of certain Hazardous Substances into the environment. The Company has
received requests for information or notifications of potential liability from
EPA under CERCLA for certain off-site locations. The Company has not incurred
any significant costs relating to these matters, and based on the existence of
certain indemnification agreements from its predecessors and their assumption of
liabilities to date and other legal defenses, believes that it will not incur
material costs in the future in responding to conditions at these sites.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and the regulations
thereunder and similar state counterparts to this law regulate hazardous wastes.
The Company's Anderson, Indiana facilities were once part of a larger industrial
complex owned and operated by GM (the "GM Complex"). Since 1990 (when owned by
GM), the GM Complex has been undergoing corrective action under RCRA. In
connection with the RCRA corrective action requirements, GM is required to
investigate various solid waste management units ("SWMUs") and areas of concern
("AOCs") identified in the federal and state RCRA permits. Some of these SWMUs
and AOCs are located on
<PAGE>
portions of the Anderson, Indiana properties leased by the Company from GM and
certain SWMUs had been used by the Company. The costs of responding to releases,
if any, from those SWMUs used by the Company would presumptively be borne by the
Company. To date, no claims for any such liability have been made, and GM
continues to respond to EPA and IDEM with respect to the investigation of these
AOCs and SWMUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of GM's environmental
indemnity provided in connection with the GM Acquisition, GM is indemnifying the
Company with respect to certain of these areas.
One of the Company's facilities in Franklin, Indiana is undergoing a RCRA
site investigation and clean-up of volatile organic compounds ("VOCs") in the
soil and groundwater pursuant to an EPA Administrative Order on Consent ("EPA
Order") issued to both Franklin Power Products, one of the subsidiaries of the
Company, and Amphenol Corporation, a prior owner of the property. Pursuant to
the EPA Order, Franklin Power Products and Amphenol Corporation have jointly
submitted corrective measures studies which have been approved by EPA, and the
parties expect to enter into a new EPA Administrator Order on Consent in the
near future setting forth the selected remedy (including further investigation
and the imposition of a dead restriction limiting future use of industrial or
commercial activities). Amphenol indemnified Franklin Power Products for certain
liabilities associated with the EPA Order and Amphenol has satisfied and
continues to satisfy the requirements of the EPA Order. Based on the Company's
experience to date and the indemnities from Amphenol and the sellers of Franklin
Power Products to the Company, the Company believes that future costs associated
with this site will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations, business or financial condition.
The Company's Marion, Michigan facility was listed on Michigan's state list
of sites pursuant to the Michigan version of CERCLA (the "Michigan SCL") in 1993
because of suspected releases of Hazardous Substances, primarily volatile
organic compounds (mineral spirits), to the soils and groundwater at the
facility. An investigation conducted by Nabco prior to its acquisition by the
Company determined that the levels of volatile organic compounds in the soils
and groundwater are below the applicable state clean-up levels. Although the
Company proposed no further action at this facility, the Michigan environmental
authorities are requiring further investigation. Even if the Michigan
environmental authorities were to require remedial action with respect to this
site, the Company does not believe that it will expend material costs in
connection with the conditions giving rise to this Michigan SCL.

BACKLOG
The majority of the Company's products are not on a backlog status. They
are produced from readily available materials and have a relatively short
manufacturing cycle. For products supplied by outside suppliers, the Company
generally purchases products from more than one source. The Company expects to
be capable of handling the anticipated 1999 sales volumes.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
GENERAL
The Company sells its products in the aftermarket and the OEM market,
principally in North America and also in Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
In addition to purchasing newly manufactured parts for use in new vehicle
production, OEMs are also significant customers of the Company's aftermarket
products. These aftermarket products are distributed through the OEMs'
affiliated dealer networks.
The aftermarket is highly fragmented and competitive. The Company believes
that consolidation of aftermarket suppliers is occurring due, in part, to higher
quality standards for remanufactured products, which may be more expensive or
technically difficult for smaller remanufacturers to meet. The Company plans to
continue to increase its penetration of the aftermarket through internal growth
and strategic acquisitions.
The demand for components in the OEM market is cyclical. The Company
believes that opportunities for growth in the OEM market will continue to come
primarily through the introduction of new products and expansion of the
Company's global operations. The Company believes that its aftermarket and OEM
businesses are complementary and provide the Company with a competitive
advantage in meeting customer needs and maintaining the high levels of expertise
necessary to compete successfully in both markets. The high capability and
expertise required to meet the stringent technology and quality requirements of
the Company's OEM customers provides a competitive advantage to the Company's
aftermarket operations. In 1998, the aftermarket accounted for approximately
43.0% of the Company's net sales.
The primary components of cost of goods sold in the Company's aftermarket
business include component parts, labor costs, overhead and the cost of cores.
While the availability and cost of cores fluctuate based on supply and demand,
the Company's relationships with dealers and other customers have historically
provided it with
<PAGE>
sufficient access to cores at favorable prices.
The primary components of cost of goods sold in the Company's OEM business
include material, labor and overhead. The Company's domestic OEM hourly labor
force is represented primarily by the United Auto Workers (UAW). In March
1997, the Company signed a new four year master agreement with the UAW. Wage and
benefit increases under the new agreement generally follow the same pattern as
the prior agreement and continue to track the wages and benefits paid by GM and,
as a result, the Company will experience higher wage and benefit rates in future
periods. In addition, grow-in provisions under the new agreement require the
Company to move lower wage and benefit employees to higher wage and benefit
levels. Under provisions of the national agreement, the UAW and the Company
developed special programs of incentives for hourly employees who agree to
leave the Company. The cost of these programs is included in the restructuring
charges for both fiscal year 1997 and 1998 as described below. The Company is in
the final stage of its strategy to shift OEM production to focus factories,
which the Company believes can further reduce costs.
Since the GM Acquisition, the Company has completed nine strategic
acquisitions, substantially increasing the Company's aftermarket operations, and
entered into four international joint ventures. These acquisitions and joint
ventures have broadened the Company's product line, expanded its remanufacturing
capability, extended its participation in international markets and increased
its penetration of OEM dealers, warehouse distributors and the retail automotive
parts channel. As a result of these acquisitions and joint ventures and the
Company's focus on increasing its participation in the aftermarket, the
Company's reliance on GM has declined since the Company's formation. Net sales
to customers other than GM increased from 41.0% in fiscal year 1995, the
Company's first complete fiscal year of operations, to 62.3% in fiscal year
1998.
The portion of the Company's net sales derived from the aftermarket have
increased significantly over the past three years, from approximately 19.2% in
fiscal year 1995 to 43.0% in fiscal year 1998. For fiscal year 1998, GM
accounted for approximately 37.7% of the Company's total net sales, of which
26.6% were to GM's OEM businesses and 11.1% were to GM Service Part Operation
(SPO). Substantially all of the Company's fiscal year 1998 automotive OEM sales
were to GM. Due to a prolonged strike by the UAW against GM in the fourth
quarter of 1998, sales to GM were reduced by approximately $22.3 million. Had
the strike not happened, the Company's sales to GM would have approximated 39%
of the Company's total net sales.
In connection with the GM Acquisition, GM entered into long-term contracts
(the "Supply Agreements") pursuant to which it has agreed to purchase from the
Company 100% of its North American requirements for automotive starters (other
than for Saturn and Geo) and 100% of its U.S. and Canadian requirements for
heavy duty starters and alternators, in each case with respect to the Company's
existing product line. GM's obligations to purchase the Company's automotive
starters and heavy duty starters and alternators under the Supply Agreements are
subject to such products remaining competitive as to price, technology and
design. However, GM may not terminate the Supply Agreement for the Company's
prices of automotive products for failing to be competitive prior to July 31,
2001. The Supply Agreements will terminate (i) with respect to automotive
products, on July 31, 2004 (except that GM's obligations with respect to
automotive products introduced in 1996 and 1997 will terminate on July 31, 2006
and July 31, 2007, respectively), and (ii) with respect to heavy duty products,
July 31, 2000. GM's obligations to distribute the Company's automotive
aftermarket products terminate on July 31, 2009 and although GM's obligations to
distribute the Company's heavy duty aftermarket products terminated on July 31,
1998 GM and the Company have entered into a new agreement for continued
distribution of heavy duty products as further discussed below. Although the
Company expects that its automotive and heavy duty products will remain
competitive throughout the term of the agreements with GM, there can be no
assurance that GM will not develop alternative sources for such components and
purchase some or all of its requirements from these sources prior to or
following the expiration of the agreements. The Company has announced a
renewed agreement with GM SPO to continue the distribution of heavy duty
products to the independent aftermarket. As part of this agreement, heavy duty
replacement parts will continue to be supplied to the independent aftermarket
through existing AC Delco distributors and newly appointed Delco Remy
distributors. As a result of this agreement, the Company is developing a
distribution network of independent warehouse distributors to expand the sales
volume previously covered by the expired agreement for heavy duty aftermarket
product distribution. The Company expects that it will be able to expand its
market share through this more direct channel of distribution.
In fiscal year 1998, the Company developed a plan to restructure its
workforce to a level that should enable it to realize better efficiency. The
plan included a buyout plan for the hourly workforce to assist employees with
their transition from the Company. This program will be completed in fiscal
1999 and is expected to provide positive benefits to the Company. A
restructuring charge of $26.5 million was incurred as a result of this action,
and a reserve was established in that amount. The Company reduced this reserve
through cash payments of $10.0 million
<PAGE>
in fiscal 1998. The remaining balance is expected to be utilized through cash
payments of $8.7 million in fiscal 1999, $3.9 million in fiscal 2000 and $3.9
million in fiscal 2001.
In fiscal year 1997, the Company implemented a restructuring plan at its
OEM manufacturing operations, incurring a restructuring charge of $34.5 million
and establishing a reserve for that amount. At that time, the Company's OEM
business had seven principal manufacturing operations, two in Meridian,
Mississippi and five in Anderson, Indiana. The restructuring plan included
accelerating the Company's move to focus factories and closing the Company's
operations in three old, vertically-integrated factories. During the fiscal
year 1998, the Company closed its OEM facilities in Meridian, Mississippi ,
including one facility leased from GM at the time of the GM acquisition. In
addition, the Company closed one of its OEM facilities in Anderson, Indiana that
was also leased from GM. The remaining facility that was originally leased from
GM is planned to be vacated either by the end of fiscal year 1999 or early in
fiscal year 2000. The Company opened three new focus factories in Anderson,
Indiana in fiscal year 1998, transferring production from the leased facilities
in Anderson, and bringing the total operational focus factories to five.
Additionally, the Company transferred production from Meridian Mississippi, to
Anderson, Indiana. The Company intends to begin moving operations into one
additional focus factory by the end of fiscal year 1999 or early in fiscal year
2000. These decisions resulted in the impairment of certain production assets
with a carrying amount of $30.3 million, which the Company plans to dispose of.
The Company initially estimated the loss on disposal including related costs at
$26.3 million. In addition, the Company estimated a cost of $8.2 million for
reducing its workforce through several transition programs related to the
restructuring of the operations. The 1997 restructuring reserve was utilized in
1998 and is expected to be utilized through 1999 and 2000. In 1998, the Company
reduced the 1997 restructuring reserve balance to approximately $16.2 million
through cash payments of $8.8 million and other charges of $9.5 million. The
remaining balance is expected to be completely utilized in 1999 and 2000 through
cash payments of $6.4 million and other charges of $9.8 million.

=============== ==================================
</TABLE>
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1997
Net Sales. Net sales were $815.3 million for 1998, an increase of $125.5
million, or 18.2%, over the prior year. The increase resulted from the inclusion
of the net sales of Ballantrae Corporation (Ballantrae) from its acquisition
date and World Wide Automotive, Inc. (World Wide) for the entire 1998 fiscal
year. In addition to these increases, heavy duty OEM sales were up due to the
high demand from truck manufacturers and strong sales at Power Investments Inc.
(Power) principally due to a new engine rebuilding program.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $157.5 million for 1998, an increase of $7.9
million, or 5.3%, over the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, gross
profit decreased to 19.3% for the year ended July 31, 1998 from 21.7% for the
prior year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the inclusion of
the Ballantrae and World Wide acquisitions. The margin from heavy duty OEM
volume improvement was offset by higher costs attributable to the start-up costs
of the new focus factories and from inefficiencies in the operations that were
shut down.
Selling, Engineering and Administrative Expenses. Selling, engineering and
administrative (SE&A) expenses were $90.4 million for 1998, an increase of $1.3
million, or 1.4%, over the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SE&A expenses
decreased to 11.1% for 1998 from 12.9% during the prior year. The reduction in
SE&A expense as a percent of net sales resulted primarily from the higher level
of sales while holding SE&A expenses nearly constant.
Operating Income. Operating income was $40.6 million for 1998, an
improvement of $14.6 million, or 56.4%, from the prior year. As a percent of net
sales, operating income increased to 5.0% for the year ended July 31, 1998 from
3.8% for the prior year. This increase was attributable to the Ballantrae and
World Wide acquisitions and a reduction in restructuring charges to $26.5
million as compared to restructuring charges of $34.5 million in 1997, as
discussed above. Excluding the restructuring charges, operating income was 8.2%
of sales in 1998 and 8.8% in 1997.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $40.3 million for 1998, an increase
of $1.5 million, or 3.9%, over the prior year. The increase was due primarily to
the additional debt incurred to finance acquisitions and increased borrowings to
fund working capital requirements, partially offset by the recapitalization
through the Company's initial public offering of common stock (IPO) and issuance
of the Company's 8 5/8% Senior Notes to reduce leverage and refinance
outstanding debt at lower rates.
Income Taxes. The Company had an income tax benefit of $0.1 million in 1998
versus an income tax benefit of $3.0 million in 1997. The tax benefit was 38.8%
of the loss from continuing operations before tax in 1998, as compared with a
tax benefit of 28.1% of the loss from continuing operations before tax for the
prior year. Due to continuing tax planning initiatives, the Company expects its
effective tax rate to be approximately 39% in future years. At July 31, 1998 the
Company believed it was more likely than not future taxable income would be
sufficient to realize the net deferred tax asset.
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss was
$4.0 million for 1998, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million in the prior
year. Excluding non-recurring charges, the Company's net income for 1998
<PAGE>
was $15.6 million and $10.5 million for 1997.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1996
Net Sales. Net sales were $689.8 million for 1997, an increase of $52.9
million, or 8.3%, over the prior year. The increase primarily resulted from the
inclusion of the net sales of World Wide from its acquisition date and Power
Investments for the entire 1997 fiscal year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $150.0 million for 1997, an increase of
$22.8 million, or 18.0%, over the prior year. As a percentage of net sales,
gross profit improved to 21.7% for the year ended July 31, 1997 from 19.9% for
the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the higher gross
profit margins of the businesses acquired as well as improved productivity and
cost reductions in the OEM operations. These benefits were partially offset by
decreased sales to GM which negatively affected gross profit margins at certain
of the Company's OEM operations.
Selling, Engineering and Administrative Expenses. SE&A expenses were $89.1
million for 1997, an increase of $11.1 million, or 14.2%, over the prior year.
As a percentage of net sales, SE&A expenses increased to 12.9% for 1997 from
12.2% during the prior year. The increase in SE&A expense as a percent of net
sales resulted primarily from higher SE&A expense as a percent of net sales for
the acquired companies and costs for the implementation of new information
systems.
Operating Income. Operating income was $26.0 million for 1997, a decrease
of $14.7 million, or 36.2%, from the prior year. As a percent of net sales,
operating income decreased to 3.8% for the year ended July 31, 1997 from 6.4%
for the prior year. This reduction was attributable to the inclusion of $34.5
million of restructuring charges. Excluding the restructuring charges, operating
income was 8.8% of sales in 1997 and 7.7% in 1996.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $38.8 million for 1997, an increase
of $11.4 million, or 41.7%, over the prior year. The increase was due primarily
to the additional debt incurred to finance acquisitions and increased borrowings
to fund working capital requirements.
Income Taxes. The Company had an income tax benefit of $3.0 million in 1997
as compared to income tax expense of $5.7 million for 1996. The tax benefit was
28.1% of the loss from continuing operations before tax in 1997, and the income
tax expense was 43.1% of income from continuing operations before tax for the
prior year.
Loss From Discontinued Operations. The after-tax loss from discontinued
operations of $1.7 million for 1997 was related to the Company's plan to divest
its large displacement diesel engine remanufacturing operations and its marine
operations. These operations were not part of the Company's core strategic
focus. The loss reflects the direct costs of production and identifiable SE&A
expense expected to be incurred by these businesses from the date the Company
decided to dispose of them until the expected disposal date, and a loss on
disposal of assets and an allocation of interest expense based on capital
employed by the business.
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss was
$14.3 million for 1997, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million in the prior
year. Excluding non-recurring charges, the Company's net income for 1997 was
$10.5 million and $10.7 million for 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity needs include required debt service, working
capital needs and the funding of capital expenditures. The Company does not
currently have any significant maturities of long-term debt prior to 2006 other
than the senior credit facility with BANKONE Indiana N.A. as agent and the other
banks named therein (Senior Credit Facility) and the 8% Subordinated Debenture.
Cash interest expense for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $37.9 million, $30.8
million and $19.5 million, respectively. The portion of total interest
represented by non-cash interest for the three years was $2.4 million, $7.9
million and $7.9 million for 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively. Interest payments
under the Company's indebtedness will continue to result in significant
liquidity requirements for the Company.
The Company's capital expenditures were $24.2 million in 1998 and are
expected to be $28.5 million in 1999. Planned capital expenditures consist
primarily of production equipment and tooling for the cost reduction programs of
the Company's new focus factories and remanufacturing operations. These include
upgrades in machinery technology, new quality standards and environmental
compliance. The Company's ability to make capital expenditures is subject to
certain restrictions under the Senior Credit Facility.
The Company granted put/call options in connection with the acquisitions of
Power Investments and World Wide that become exercisable in March 2001 for Power
Investments and November 2000 for World Wide. The exercise prices of the
put/call options are based on an earnings formula and are not currently
estimable.
<PAGE>
The Company's principal sources of cash to fund its liquidity needs will be
net cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility. At July 31, 1998, borrowings under the Company's Senior Credit
Facility were $64.8 million leaving $115.2 million of availability under the
$180 million facility. The Company's cash position was $8.1 million at year end
1998 as compared to $10.0 million at year end 1997. Cash used in operating
activities was $11.3 million in 1998 as compared to cash provided by operating
activities of $22.5 million in 1997. Non-cash items in 1998, including $18.3
million of depreciation and amortization more than offset the Company's net loss
and increased working capital requirements. From July 31, 1997 to July 31, 1998,
the Company's inventory increased by $34.0 million. The increase in inventory
was attributable primarily to the Company's expanding OEM and aftermarket
businesses, including inventory associated with the acquisitions of Ballantrae,
Electro Diesel Rebuild (EDR), the remanufacturing electrical operations of Lucas
Varity in the U.K. (DRUK) and certain assets of Atlantic Reman Ltd. (Atlantic
Reman), as well as higher levels of finished goods inventory required to service
aftermarket customers. Cash used in investing activities of $69.3 million in
1998 was composed of $35.7 million for the acquisitions of Ballantrae and Lucas,
$24.2 million of capital expenditures and $9.4 million invested in the
unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities in 1998 of
$79.1 million, and was composed of the proceeds from the IPO of $51.3 million
and $27.8 million from the amount debt issuances exceeded debt repayments. The
components of net cash from operating activities are detailed in the Company's
financial statements and related notes.
Under the terms of the GM Acquisition, GM retained the liability for post-
retirement benefits earned by the Company's employees while employed by GM. In
addition, GM retained the liability for post-retirement benefits for all of the
Company's employees that return to GM pursuant to contractual arrangements at
the time of the GM Acquisition. Since relatively senior employees have returned
to GM and have been replaced by the Company with employees who have later
retirement dates, the Company's actual cash expenditures for post-retirement
benefits will be significantly less than the amount recorded as an expense over
the next ten years. The excess of the amount accrued over the cash paid for
post-retirement benefits during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $3.8 million, $4.5
million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Instruments governing the Company's indebtedness restrict the ability of
the Company's subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with the
amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet its
debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at
least the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
The Company's future operating performance and ability to extend or refinance
its indebtedness will be dependent on future economic conditions and financial,
business and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.
Seasonality
The Company's business is moderately seasonal, as its major OEM customers
historically have one- to two-week summer shutdowns of operations during July.
In addition, the Company typically has shut down its own operations for one week
each July, depending on backlog, scheduled maintenance and inventory buffers, as
well as an additional week during the December holidays. Consequently, the
Company's second and fourth quarter results reflect the effects of these
shutdowns.

Effects of Inflation
The Company believes that the relatively moderate inflation over the last
few years has not had a significant impact on the Company's revenues or
profitability and that it has been able to offset the effects of inflation by
increasing prices or by realizing improvements in operating efficiency. The
Company has provisions in many of its contracts which provide for the pass
through of fluctuations in the price of certain raw materials, such as copper
and aluminum.
Foreign Sales
Approximately 23.9%, 21.1%, and 12.4% of the Company's 1998, 1997, and 1996
net sales, respectively, were derived from sales made to customers in foreign
countries. Because of these foreign sales, the Company's business is subject to
the risks of doing business abroad, including currency exchange rate
fluctuations, limits on repatriation of funds, compliance with foreign laws and
other economic and political uncertainties.
Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of pending accounting pronouncements that may affect the
Company, see Note 2 to the Company's financial statements included elsewhere in
this Annual Report.
Year 2000 Date Conversion
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify years.
These programs were designed without consideration for the affect of the
upcoming change in century, and if not corrected, could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the year 2000. Essentially all the Company's information
technology based systems, as well as many non-information technology based
systems are affected by the "Year 2000" issue. Technology based systems reside
on mainframes, servers and personal computers in the U.S. and in the foreign
countries where the Company has operations. Specific systems include accounting,
payroll, financial reporting, product development, inventory tracking and
control, business planning, tax, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
purchasing, distribution and numerous word processing applications. Non-
information technology based systems include equipment and services containing
imbedded microprocessors, such as clocks, security systems and building
management systems. All of the Company's businesses have relationships with
numerous third parties, including material suppliers, utility companies,
transportation companies, banks and brokerage firms, that may be affected by the
Year 2000 issue.
Remediation plans have been established for all major systems potentially
affected by the Year 2000 issue. The primary phases and current status of the
plans for internal systems are summarized as follows:
Enterprise awareness and planning. This phase involved the establishment of
project teams and plans or each subsidiary and joint venture. This phase has
been completed for all subsidiaries and the Company is in the process of
determining the status of the joint ventures.
Inventory of all hardware and software. This phase has been completed.
Impact analysis/assessment. This phase has been completed.
<PAGE>
Planning and scheduling. Plans have been implemented for 90% of mission
critical applications. Detailed plans for all remaining systems should be
developed by January 1999.
Conversion. The organizations are at varying points in their conversion
process. 80% of the mission critical applications will be converted by
January 1999. The other 20% will be converted by June 1999.
Testing. Each system is tested based on the specific requirements. These
are included as part of the overall project plans.
Implementation. Each system within the organization is at a different
point. 80% of the mission critical applications will be implemented by
January 1999. The other 20% will be implemented by June 1999.
Identification of areas potential third party risk is currently in process
and, for those areas identified to date, remediation plans are being developed.
Identification and assessment will be completed in December 1998 and plans
will be developed and implemented by April 1999.
The Company is in the process of determining the risks it would face in the
event certain aspects of its Year 2000 remediation plan fail. It is also
developing contingency plans for all mission-critical processes. Under a "worst
case" scenario, the Company's manufacturing operations would be unable to build
and deliver product due to internal system failures and/or the inability of
vendors to delivery raw materials and components. Alternative suppliers are
being identified and inventory levels of certain key components may be
temporarily increased. While virtually all internal systems can be replaced with
manual systems on a temporary basis, the failure of mission-critical system will
have at least a short-term negative affect on operations. The failure of
national and worldwide banking systems could result in the inability of many
businesses, include the Company, to conduct business. Risk assessment and
contingency plans will be completed by January 1999.
The total cost to the Company of achieving Year 2000 compliance is not
expected to exceed $2 million and will consist of internal and external
resources. Spending to date totals approximately $0.8 million.
ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has established policies, procedures and
internal processes governing its management of market risks and the use of
financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks. Exposure to
variability in foreign currency exchange rates is managed primarily through the
use of natural hedges, whereby funding obligations and assets are both managed
in the local currency. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign
currency exchange agreements to manage its exposure arising from fluctuating
exchange rates related to specific transactions, primarily foreign currency
forward contracts for inventory purchases denominated in Japanese Yen. The
Company does not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative
purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange
rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate
fluctuations to the Company's assets, obligations and projected results of
operations denominated in foreign currencies. Based on the Company's overall
foreign currency rate exposure at July 31, 1998, movements in foreign currency
rates would not materially affect the financial position of the Company. The
Company had foreign exchange contracts outstanding in the amount of $3,804 and
$4,356 at July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of these
contracts was $3,463 and $4,283 at July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Delco Remy International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delco Remy
International, Inc. as of July 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Delco Remy International, Inc. at July 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DELCO REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
1. ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS
DELCO REMY AMERICA ACQUISITION
On August 1, 1994, Delco Remy International, Inc. (the Company or DRI) through
a wholly-owned subsidiary, Delco Remy America, Inc. (DRA), purchased
substantially all of the assets, other than facilities, and assumed certain
liabilities of specific business activities of the Delco Remy Division of
General Motors Corporation (the GM Acquisition). The specific business
activities purchased are engaged in the design, manufacture, remanufacture and
sale of heavy duty starter motors and generators, automotive starter motors, and
related components.
The aggregate purchase price of the GM Acquisition of $155,665 (including fees
and expenses) was accounted for as a purchase. The Company issued (i) common
stock of $1,531, (ii) preferred stock of $11,507 and (iii) debt of $158,200 to
fund the purchase and provide capital for general corporate purposes. The GM
Acquisition resulted in the recording of approximately $17,600 of goodwill which
is being amortized over 15 years. While the GM Acquisition was recorded based on
the best estimates available, certain purchase price adjustments as of the
August 1, 1994 purchase date have not been determined or agreed to by General
Motors Corporation (GM) and DRI. When finalized, the resolution of these items
could result in a charge or credit to operations, which the Company does not
expect to be material. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
reflect the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the Company
subsequent to the GM Acquisition. The Company had no operations prior to August
1, 1994.
GM is entitled to receive an additional contingent purchase payment which will
be paid beginning in 2004 and will be based upon a percentage of average
earnings of the Company in the three year period ending December 31, 2003 in
excess of certain imputed earnings. Since the additional contingent purchase
price, if any, is based upon future operations of the Company which cannot be
determined at this time, no provision for such payment has been made in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The additional contingent
purchase price, if any, will increase the goodwill recorded for the GM
Acquisition and will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the GM
Acquisition goodwill.
Concurrent with the GM Acquisition, the Company entered into certain supply
agreements with GM whereby the Company will be the sole-source supplier to GM
for component parts manufactured by the Company at the date of the GM
Acquisition. The supply agreement for automotive starter motors has an initial
term of ten years, while the supply agreement for heavy duty starter motors and
generators has an initial term of six years.
1998 ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
On December 22, 1997, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
Ballantrae for $53,900, including assumed debt, a working capital adjustment and
fees and expenses. Ballantrae operates through two subsidiaries: Tractech, a
leading producer of traction control systems for heavy duty original equipment
manufacturers and the aftermarket; and Kraftube, Inc., a tubing assembly
business which sells products to compressor manufacturers for commercial air
conditioners and refrigeration equipment. The Company exchanged shares of its
Common Stock with a value of approximately $23,023 for the equity of Ballantrae
and repaid approximately $29,500 of Ballantrae's debt. The acquisition was
treated as a purchase for accounting purposes and is included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning with the acquisition
date. The Ballantrae acquisition resulted in goodwill of $24,580, which is
being amortized over 35 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DELCO REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
On March 5, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets from Atlantic Reman
Limited, which is a Canadian Ford Authorized Remanufacturer for the Maritime
Provinces in Canada for $1,277. It remanufactures and distributes engines,
starters, alternators and water pumps to Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler
dealers in Canada.
In March 1998, the Company acquired 37% of Sahney Paris Rohne Ltd., an Indian
remanufacturer of starters and alternators which sells principally to the Indian
market.
The Company acquired the starter and alternator remanufacturing operations of
Lucas Varity in the United Kingdom on April 6, 1998. Located in England, the
Lucas line of remanufactured starters and alternators is a market leader in the
U.K. independent aftermarket. The purchase price was $4,773 (including fees and
expenses), and resulting goodwill of $535 is being amortized over 35 years. The
acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase and is included in the
consolidated financial statements from date of acquisition. Proforma
consolidated results are not presented for this acquisition because the effect
on the Company is not material.
On July 16, 1998, the Company acquired Electro Diesel Rebuild in Belgium and
Electro Rebuild Tunisia located in Tunisia, which produce heavy duty and
automotive starters and alternators for the European replacement market. The
purchase price was $7,586 (including fees and expenses) and was funded by the
proceeds from a loan facility. Resulting goodwill of $4,663 is being amortized
over 35 years. The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase and is
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Proforma consolidated results are not presented for this acquisition because the
effect on the Company is not material.
1997 ACQUISITION
On May 8, 1997, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 82.5%
of the outstanding common stock of World Wide Automotive, Inc. (World Wide).
World Wide is primarily an aftermarket supplier of light duty import starters
and alternators, although it also has a small amount of heavy duty
remanufacturing sales and domestic aftermarket sales. The remaining 17.5%
interest in World Wide is owned by management of World Wide.
The aggregate purchase price was $40,842, including cash payments of $38,692
and the issuance of Class A Common Stock valued at $2,150. The World Wide
acquisition was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes and is included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning with the
acquisition date. The World Wide acquisition resulted in goodwill of $21,301
which is being amortized over 35 years.
1996 ACQUISITION
On February 6, 1996 the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
82.5% of the outstanding common stock of Power Investments, Inc. and related
companies (Power), a remanufacturer of diesel and gasoline engines, fuel
systems, transmissions, alternators and starters for medium, heavy duty, and
automotive applications. Power also remanufactures and distributes brakes, water
pumps, power steering pumps and various other remanufactured truck parts and
assemblies. Power operates fifteen facilities in the United States and Canada.
The remaining 17.5% interest in Power is owned by management of Power.
The aggregate purchase price was $48,422 including cash payments of $23,385
and the issuance of $24,300 Power Seller Notes. The Power acquisition was
treated as a purchase for accounting purposes and is included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning with the acquisition
date. The Power acquisition resulted in goodwill of $16,267 which is being
amortized over 35 years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRI and its
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company designs, manufactures, remanufactures and distributes electrical,
powertrain/drivetrain and engine-related components for automobiles, light and
heavy duty trucks and other heavy duty vehicles. The Company's products include
starter motors, alternators, engines, transmissions, traction control devices,
and fuel systems for the aftermarket and the original equipment manufacturer
market, principally in North America but also in Europe, Latin America, Asia-
Pacific, India, and Africa.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash balances and highly liquid
investments held primarily in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
Government securities with a maturity of ninety days or less when purchased. The
carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND OTHER RISKS
Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are due from customers
in the original equipment and aftermarket automotive industries, both in the
U.S. and internationally. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral.
Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and have been
consistently within management's expectations. The Company invests its temporary
cash in high credit quality financial institutions and investment grade short-
term investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one entity.
The percentage of the Company's labor force covered by a collective bargaining
agreement (CBA) and covered by a CBA that will expire within one year is 41.6%
and 5.6%, respectively.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market determined on the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials also include supplies and repair parts
which consist of materials consumed in the manufacturing process but not
directly incorporated into the finished products. Inventories at July 31, 1998
and 1997 consisted of the following:

Finished goods................ 59,414 59,666
-------- --------
$198,437 $164,417
======== ========
</TABLE>
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and include certain expenditures for
leased facilities. Depreciation is calculated primarily using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (15 years for
buildings and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment).
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of the net
assets acquired and is being amortized by the straight-line method over 15 to 35
years.
The carrying amount of goodwill is regularly reviewed for indicators of
impairment in value, which in the view of management are other than temporary,
including unexpected or adverse changes in the following: (i) the economic or
competitive environments in which the Company operates; (ii) profitability
analysis and (iii) cash flow analysis. If facts and circumstances suggest that a
subsidiary's net assets are impaired, the Company assesses the fair value of the
underlying business and reduces goodwill to an amount that results in the book
value of the subsidiary approximating fair value.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
Investments in 20% to 50% joint ventures are stated at cost plus equity in
undistributed in earnings since acquisition.
LONG-TERM ASSETS
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived
assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets
might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

DELCO REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE
Substantially all of the Company's revenue is recognized at the time the
product is shipped. The Company's remanufacturing operations obtain used diesel
and gasoline engines, fuel systems, transmissions, starter motors and
generators, commonly known as cores, from its customers as trade-ins. Net sales
and cost of goods sold are reduced by $160,731, $113,100 and $70,000 for 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively, to reflect the cost of cores returned for credit.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities
and at the average exchange rate for each year for revenue and expenses.
Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.
RISK MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain derivative
financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts for
inventory purchases denominated in Japanese Yen, to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The
Company designates the financial instruments as hedges for specific anticipated
transactions. Gains and losses from hedges are classified in the statement of
operations in cost of goods sold when the contracts are closed. Cash flows from
hedges are classified in the consolidated statement of cash flows under the same
category as the anticipated transactions. The Company does not enter into any
derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The Company had foreign
exchange contracts outstanding in the amount of $3,804 and $4,356 at July 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of these contracts was $3,463 and
$4,283 at July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (BASIC AND DILUTED)
In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share.
Statement No. 128 requires the Company to present two earnings per share (EPS)
amounts. It replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS with
basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock
shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as
stock options. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through
the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the
Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the
Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.
Stock options, warrants, and stock purchase plans do not have an effect on
the calculation of the weighted average shares for the diluted loss per share
because their effect would have been antidilutive.

On November 20, 1997, the Company authorized a 16.8 - to - one stock split
which occurred on December 19, 1997. All share and per share amounts have been
adjusted to reflect this split.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments generally consist of cash and cash
equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt.
The fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt was estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis based upon the Company's current incremental borrowing rates.
With the exception of the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, the
carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated their fair value at
July 31, 1998 and 1997. At July 31, 1998, the Senior Notes have a face value of
$145.0 million and a fair value of $147.1 million and the Senior Subordinated
Notes have a face value of $140.0 million and a fair value of $151.6 million.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities and requires
that all derivatives be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes
in fair values of derivatives will be accounted for based upon their intended
use and designation. Since the Company's holdings in such instruments are
minimal, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material affect on
the financial statements. The Company is required to adopt the Statement not
later than the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
In February, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, Employer's Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Statement does not change the
recognition or measurement of pension or postretirement benefit plans but
standardizes disclosure requirements, requires additional information on changes
in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets, and eliminates
certain unnecessary disclosures. The Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, and will be adopted by the Company in fiscal
1999. The Company is evaluating the impact that this Statement will have on
its financial reporting.
<PAGE>

DELCO REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. The Statement changes the way public
companies are required to report segment information in annual financial
statements and in interim financial reports to stockholders. It also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas,
and major customers. The Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and will be adopted by the
Company in fiscal 1999. The Company is evaluating the impact that this
Statement will have on its financial reporting.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and will
be adopted by the Company in fiscal 1999. The Statement establishes standards
for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a
full set of general purpose financial statements. The Statement will not have
any impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the
Company.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
MARINE CORPORATION OF AMERICA, MARINE DRIVE SYSTEMS, AND POWRBILT PRODUCTS
In July 1997, the Company adopted plans for the sale of three non-core
businesses. The Company planned to sell the net assets of Marine Corporation of
America, Marine Drive Systems and Powrbilt Products (the 1997 Discontinued
Businesses). These non-core businesses were acquired in February 1996 in
conjunction with the acquisition of Power. A charge of $874 net of a tax
benefit of $426 for operating losses expected during the disposal period was
recorded.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company sold substantially all
of the assets of Marine Corporation of America and Marine Drive Systems. The
proceeds approximated the net book value of the assets sold and, accordingly, no
gain or loss was recorded. The Company expects to sell the net assets of
Powrbilt Products during fiscal 1999.
Summary operating results of the 1997 Discontinued Businesses since their
acquisition are as follows

POWDER METAL FORGE
In December 1995, the Company adopted plans for sale of its non-core
powder metal forge business (PMF) and recorded an initial loss on disposal. A
sale agreement was signed in December 1996 to transfer ownership of net assets
of PMF. Terms of the sale agreement required the Company to continue PMF
operations through a transition period in which the buyer began production
at its facility. The transition period was completed in November 1997. PMF
produces various engine components, primarily for GM, through a forging process.
In the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, the Company recorded a charge of a
$9,064, net of a tax benefit of $6,043, for losses on disposal of the business,
operating losses expected during the transition period, and allocated interest
expense. During fiscal 1997, the Company utilized $8,981 of the reserves for
discontinued operations including a loss from operations of $2,171. At July 31,
1997, $2,024 of discontinued operations reserves remained on the balance sheet
related to PMF. In the fiscal year ending July 31, 1998, the Company utilized
$1,283 of reserve, leaving a remaining reserve balance of $741. The reserve
balance at July 31, 1998 is expected to be used in 1999 to settle outstanding
claims with the purchaser and open accounts receivable.
Summary operating results of the discontinued operation, excluding the loss on
disposal are as follows:

the Company. In addition, interest expense of $986 was allocated for the
disposal period and is included in the 1996 loss on disposal of PMF. In 1997,
$335 of interest expense was charged against the reserve. No interest expense
was charged in fiscal 1998.

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In May 1998, the Company decided to offer an incentive separation payment
to DRA hourly employees through a voluntary employee termination program (VTEP).
By the program's completion date on July 10, 1998, 337 employees had accepted
the Company's offer. A charge of $26,515 was recorded for these separation
costs, $9,974 of which were paid in 1998, $8,707 are to be paid in 1999 and
$3,917 are to be paid in 2000 and $3,917 are to be paid in 2001. During the
third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company closed two of the factories acquired
from GM and completed three focus factories. An additional focus factory will
replace a third GM factory by the end of fiscal 1999 or early in fiscal 2000.
In May 1997, the Company decided to restructure the manufacturing
operations of DRA to utilize focus factory manufacturing concepts and to close
the Company's operations in the old vertically-integrated factories that were
leased from GM. These decisions resulted in the impairment of certain production
assets with a carrying amount of $30,321 ($25,279 of which is property and
equipment and $5,042 of which is related tooling and other supplies) which the
Company plans to sell or otherwise dispose. The Company estimated the loss on
disposal including related costs at $26,260. In addition, the Company has
estimated a cost of $8,240 for reducing its workforce through several transition
programs. The results of operations for the products which will be discontinued
are not separately identifiable. The restructuring reserve is expected to be
utilized throughout 1998 and 1999.
In December 1995, the Company decided to eliminate the production of
certain parts and certain straight-drive starter motors for the original
equipment market. In addition, the Company purchased new, more efficient
equipment for use in the production of certain heavy duty alternators. These
decisions resulted in the impairment of certain production equipment with a
carrying amount of approximately $5,242, which the Company plans to sell or
otherwise dispose. The Company has estimated the loss on disposal, including
related costs, at $4,385. The results of operations for the parts and straight-
drive starter motors for which production will be discontinued are not
separately identifiable.
In October 1995, the Company offered to certain eligible salaried employees
a voluntary retirement transition program in conjunction with a similar plan
offered by GM to its employees which allowed such employees special additional
benefits not typically provided upon retirement. These additional benefits
include salaried payments for six months and future supplemental payments under
the salaried retirement plan. As a result, $3,716 was charged to operations in
1996.

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY
Pursuant to the senior credit facility (the Senior Credit Facility),
revolving credit loans of $180,000 are available for general purposes,
(including acquisitions). Beginning March 31, 2001 the amount available under
the Senior Credit Facility will decrease by $11.25 million at the end of each
quarter thereafter until December 31, 2004, at which times the Senior Credit
Facility terminates. The Company has the option of paying an interest rate of
one bank's prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. The weighted average interest on
amounts outstanding at July 31, 1998 was 7.155%.
The senior credit facility contains various covenants which include, among
other things: (i) limitations on additional borrowings and encumbrances; (ii)
the maintenance of certain financial ratios and compliance with certain
financial tests and limitations; (iii) limitations on cash dividends paid; (iv)
limitations on investments and capital expenditures; and (v) limitations on
leases and sales of assets.
The senior credit facility is collateralized by a lien on substantially all
assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and by all the capital stock
of such subsidiaries held by the Company or any such other subsidiary.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
On August 2, 1996, the Company issued $140 million of 10 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due August 1, 2006 (the Senior Subordinated Notes). The
Company recorded an extraordinary loss in 1997 of $2,351, net of a tax benefit
of $1,147, related to deferred financing costs associated with the payoff of a
previous senior credit facility.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations
of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all existing and future senior indebtedness, pari passu with all present
and future senior subordinated indebtedness and senior to all present and future
subordinated indebtedness of the Company or the relevant subsidiary guarantors,
as defined in the indenture. The Senior Subordinated Notes will also be
effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value
of the assets securing such indebtedness.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company,
in whole or in part, after August 1, 2001, at the redemption prices set forth in
the note agreement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption
date. In addition, at any time prior to August 1, 1999, the Company may redeem,
at its option, up to an aggregate amount of 35% of the original principal amount
of the Senior Subordinated Notes with the proceeds of one or more public equity
offerings at a redemption price of 110% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, provided that at
least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes remains
outstanding after each such redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of the Senior
Subordinated Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or
a portion of such holder's notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the date of purchase.

SENIOR NOTES
On December 22, 1997, the Company issued $145 million of 8 5/8% Senior
Notes due December 15, 2007 (the Senior Notes). The proceeds from the Senior
Notes were $141.4 million, net of issuance costs. The proceeds were used to
repay higher interest bearing debt including the World Note, the GM Acquisition
Note, the Power Seller Notes and the A & B Seller Notes.
The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company
and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior
indebtness of the Company and senior on right of payment to all existing and
future subordinated obligations of the Company. In addition, the obligations of
the Company under the Senior Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed
on a joint and several basis by each of the Company's existing and future
domestic restricted subsidiaries. The subsidiary guaranties will rank pari
passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtness of the
subsidiary guarantors and senior in right of payment to all existing and future
subordinate obligations of the subsidiary guarantors. The Senior Notes and the
subsidiary guaranties will be effectively subordinated to all existing and
future secured indebtness of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors and to
any liabilities of subsidiaries other than subsidiary guarantors.
The Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or
in part, at any time on or after December 15, 2002, at the redemption prices set
forth in the note agreement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of redemption. In addition, prior to December 15, 2000, the Company may
use the proceeds of one or more public equity offerings to redeem up to 40% of
the original principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price of
108.625% of the original aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accured and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that not less than
50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes remains
outstanding following any such redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined), each holder of the
Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a
portion of such holder's notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accured and unpaid interest, if any, to the date

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
AGREEMENTS WITH GM
In connection with the GM Acquisition, the Company and GM agreed to allocate the
responsibility for employee pension benefits and post-retirement health care and
life insurance on a pro-rata basis between DRA and GM. The allocation is
primarily determined upon years of service with DRA and aggregate years of
service with DRA and GM. In addition, GM has agreed to retain complete
responsibility for all pension and post-retirement benefit costs for salaried
and hourly employees who retired from DRA before August 1, 1996 and October 1,
1996, respectively. Effective August 1, 1994, DRA established hourly and
salaried pension and post-retirement health care and life insurance plans which
are similar to the respective GM plans.

PENSION PLANS
DRA has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees.
The plan covering salaried employees provides benefits that are based upon years
of service and final estimated average compensation. Benefits for hourly
employees are based on stated amounts for each year of service. DRA's funding
policy is to contribute amounts to provide the plans with sufficient assets to
meet future benefit payment requirements consistent with actuarial
determinations of the funding requirements of federal laws. DRA made
contributions of $2,203, $1,085 and $6,454 to the plans in 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively. Plan assets are primarily invested in mutual funds which invest in
both debt and equity instruments.
The components of net periodic pension cost for the plans are as follows:

The decline in service cost in 1998 reflected the reduction of the size of the
Company's hourly workforce.

The measurement of the July 31, 1998 and 1997 projected benefit obligation was
based upon a discount rate of 7.00% and 7.75%, respectively. The expected
compensation growth rate is 5% for salaried employees. The expected rate of
return on plan assets is 10%. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company has
recorded an additional minimum pension liability for underfunded plans of $422
at July 31, 1998, representing the excess of unfunded accumulated benefit
obligations over previously recorded pension cost liabilities. A corresponding
amount is recognized as an intangible asset.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
Various subsidiaries of the Company sponsor voluntary savings plans for
eligible salaried and hourly employees. These plans allow participants to make
contributions pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain
of these plans have Company matching contribution provisions. Charges to
operations were $953, $532 and $686 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
PROFIT SHARING PLANS
DRA sponsors profit sharing plans covering substantially all of its employees.
Distributions are determined based upon formulas established by management and
are made annually. Profit sharing expense for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $918,
$1,400 and $1,300, respectively.
POST-RETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE PLANS
DRA maintains hourly and salaried benefit plans that provide post-retirement
health care and life insurance to retirees and eligible dependents. The benefits
are payable for life, although DRA retains the right to modify or terminate the
plans providing these benefits. The salaried plan is contributory, with
additional cost sharing features such as deductibles and co-payments. Salaried
employees who were not GM employees prior to 1992 are not eligible for the above
described post-retirement benefits. It is DRA's policy to fund these benefits as
claims are incurred.

Measurement of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was based on
an 7.30% annual rate of increase in the cost of covered health care benefits.
The rate was assumed to decrease ratably to 5.5% through 2003 and remain level
at that rate thereafter. The discount rate used in determining the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation was 7.00% in 1998 and 7.75% in 1997. An
increase of 1% in assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of July 31, 1998 by 27.1% and
the net periodic cost for 1998 would be increased by 27.1%.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
All shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical and
will entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, provided
that except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Class B Common Stock
shall have no voting rights. Each share of Class A Common Stock is convertible
into one share of Class B Common Stock and each share of Class B Common Stock is
convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock.
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
On October 21, 1994, the Company approved a private placement memorandum
whereby the Company is authorized to offer for sale to certain members of
management of DRA up to 1,596,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of July 31,
1998, 1,512,000 shares were outstanding pursuant to the private placement at a
price approximating book value. Shares issued pursuant to this plan generally
vest over three to five years. During 1997, 361,200 shares were sold for $2,705
less than the deemed fair market value. Compensation expense of $600 was
recorded during the current year and the balance of the unearned compensation of
$1,715 will be amortized over the remaining vesting period. The stockholder
notes receivable of $414 and $350 at July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are
associated with the sale of Class A Common Stock and are payable in 1999 through
2002 together with interest at 9.25% per annum.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On December 22, 1997, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock in an initial public offering at $12.00 per share. Also, on January 16,
1998, the Company issued an additional 600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at
$12.00 per share as a result of the underwriters' exercise of their over-
allotment option. Net proceeds to the Company from such offerings, after
deduction of associated expensed, were approximately $51,336.
WARRANTS
DRI has issued warrants to purchase 1,680,000 shares of DRI Class A Common
Stock at a price of $.0012 per share. The warrants can be exercised, in whole or
in part, at any time through June 31, 2004.
REDEEMABLE EXCHANGEABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF DRA
In connection with the GM Acquisition, DRA issued 15,000 shares of Class A
Preferred Stock (par value $.01 shares and liquidation preference $1,000 per
share) to GM (DRA Preferred Stock). The DRA Preferred Stock was exchangeable, at
the option of DRA, in whole or in part, for 8% subordinated debentures to be
issued by DRA at $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. As a part
of the December 22, 1997 initial offering and recapitalization, the DRA
Preferred Stock was exchanged for the 8% Subordinated Debenture. As a result,
$1,639 in deemed dividend on the preferred stock conversion was incurred.

STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has two fixed stock option plans which reserve shares of common
stock for issuance to executives, key employees, and directors.
In December 1997, the Company adopted the Stock-Based Incentive Compensation
Plan whereby employees of the Company are eligible to be granted incentive stock
options or non-qualified stock options. As of July 31, 1998, an aggregate total
of 1,300,000 shares are reserved for grants of stock options, stock appreciation
rights, and restricted stock awards. No stock appreciation rights or restricted
stock awards have been granted under the plan.
In December 1997, the Company adopted the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors whereby non-employee directors are eligible to be granted
non-qualified stock options. As of July 31, 1998, a total of 100,000 shares
were reserved for grant under the plan. On December 16, 1997, each non-employee
director of the Company was granted options to purchase 2,000 shares. On
December 16, 1998, and through December 16, 2001, an additional 2,000 options
will be granted annually to non-employee directors.
The exercise price of stock options granted may not be less than the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant. Options
become exercisable in periods ranging from one to five years. Information
regarding these option plans for 1998 is as follows:

==========
Options available for grant at year end......................... 1,148,800
==========
Weighted average fair value of options granted
during the year......................................... $ 5.56
----------
</TABLE>
No options were exercisable during 1998. The exercise price for all
outstanding options is $12.00. The remaining contractual life of all options is
approximately 9.4 years.
Disclosure of pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per
share is required by SFAS No. 123 as if the Company has accounted for its stock
options under the fair value method as defined by that Statement. The fair value
for options granted by the Company was estimated as of the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate...................................... 5.00%
Dividend yield............................................... 0.00%
Volatility factor of the expected market price of the ....... 0.30
Company's common stock
Expected life of the options (years)......................... 8
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock options.
<PAGE>

DELCO REMY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
For purpose of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options are amortized to expense over the related vesting period. Because
compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, the initial impact
on pro forma net income may not be representative of compensation expense in
future years, when the effect of amortization of multiple awards would be
reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The Company's pro forma
information giving effect to the estimated compensation expense related to stock
options is as follows (in thousands, except per share data)

The Company's alternative minimum tax credit may be carried forward
indefinitely. Income tax payments (refunds), including state taxes, for 1998,
1997 and 1996 were $(483), ($1,100) and $14,000, respectively.
No provision has been made for United States federal and state or foreign
taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries ($17,432 at July 31, 1998) because it is expected that such
earnings will be reinvested in these foreign operations indefinitely. It is not
practical to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable on the eventual
remittances of such earnings.

15. FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS AND NON-GUARANTOR
SUBSIDIARIES
The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through
subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes referred to in
the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by
certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Subsidiary
Guarantors). Certain of the Company's subsidiaries do not guarantee the Senior
Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The
claims of creditors of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have priority over the rights
of the Company to receive dividends or distributions from such subsidiaries.
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries at July
31, 1998 and 1997 and for the years ended July 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
The equity method has been used by the Company with respect to investments in
subsidiaries. The equity method has been used by Subsidiary Guarantors with
respect to investments in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate
financial statements for Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented based on
management's determination that they do not provide additional information that
is material to investors.

disclosures related to the balance sheet have been omitted.
Titan has allocated certain general and administrative charges to the
Company totaling $675,000 and $674,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 (1996) and the year ended December 31, 1995 (1995), respectively. These
charges were allocated by Titan based upon sales. Management believes that this
method of allocation is reasonable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount
of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks
Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are due from
manufacturers of mobile equipment, trucks and specialized vehicles, both in the
U.S. and internationally. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral.
Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and have been
consistently within management's expectations. The Company invests its temporary
cash in high credit quality financial institutions and investment grade short-
term investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one entity.
The percentage of the Company's labor force covered by a collective
bargaining agreement (CBA) is 57%. The CBA expires on August 31, 1999.

Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (40
years for buildings and improvements and 12 years for machinery and equipment).
Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Other Assets
Patents are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
lives.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S.
dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and
liabilities and at the average exchange rate for each period for revenue and
expenses. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. Losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions
totaling $23,445 and $15,867 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
for the year ended December 31, 1995, respectively, are included in net income.
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company is included in the consolidated tax returns of Titan. The tax
expense recorded by the Company is the amount allocated to it by Titan. This
amount approximates the tax expense that would result from using a separate
return basis. Titan did not allocate any deferred tax assets or liabilities to
the Company. The following is a summary of the components of the provision for
income taxes:

The favorable foreign tax rate is the result of an inducement offered by
the Irish government to encourage the Company to establish their foreign
manufacturing facility in Ireland. The favorable rate expires in 2010.
No provision has been made for United States federal and state or foreign
taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of
foreign operations ($10,466,851 at September 30, 1996) because it is expected
that such earnings will be reinvested in these foreign operations indefinitely.
It is not practical to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable on the
eventual remittances of such earnings.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases a building under a noncancellable operating lease which
provides for a renewal option every five years. The operating lease has rental
payments due of approximately $58,900 in the remaining months of 1996, $235,600
in 1997 and 1998, and $78,533 in 1999.
Total rental expense under all operating leases aggregated $285,953 and
$214,220 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 respectively. Included in rental expense is $1 per year for
the lease of equipment having an original cost of approximately $2,350,000
pursuant to an incentive lease arrangement sponsored by the Irish Development
Authority. The Company has the right to continue this lease indefinitely.
The Company is party to legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. The Company

believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
4. RETIREMENT PLANS AND BENEFITS
The Company is a participant in two defined contribution 401(k) savings
plans sponsored by Titan that cover substantially all domestic salary and hourly
employees. Company contributions to the plans are based on employee
contributions and compensation. The Company may also make discretionary
contributions annually. Company contributions for these two plans totaled
$43,281 and $32,213 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan that
covers substantially all of its employees at its foreign location. Company
contributions to the plan are based on employee contributions and compensation.
Company contributions totaled $52,082 and $30,932 for the year ended December
31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
The Company contributes to the Central States Pension Fund, which covers
all eligible bargaining employees of one of its plants. The benefits are
principally based on years of service and a benefit formula as defined in the
plan. The Company currently contributes $37 per week per eligible employee,
which is specified in the Bargaining Agreement. Company contributions totaled
$65,305 and $46,472 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 respectively.
5. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA
The Company operates in one business segment--manufacturing engineered
metal products and systems for original equipment manufacturers and end users of
transportation mobile equipment. Geographical region information for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is as

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of

DECEMBER 22, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Ballantrae Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are
engaged in the engineering, manufacturing, and marketing of mechanical power
transmission components and systems used in transportation vehicles and mobile
equipment, and fabricated tubing assemblies used in air conditioning and
refrigeration compressors.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ballantrae
Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of
cash equivalents approximates fair value.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND OTHER RISKS
Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are due from original
equipment manufacturers of mobile equipment, trucks and specialized vehicles,
and manufacturers of air conditioners and refrigeration compressors, both in the
U.S. and internationally. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral.
Credit losses are provided for, and have been consistently within management's
expectations. The Company invests its temporary cash in high credit quality
financial institutions and investment grade short-term investments and limits
the amount of credit exposure to any one entity.
The percentage of the Company's labor force covered by a collective bargaining
agreement (CBA) is 35%. The CBA expires on August 31, 1999.
<PAGE>
BALLANTRAE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. The components of inventories are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

1997 1996

Raw Materials $ 5,194,450 $4,993,363

------------------------------------------
$10,245,509 $9,708,513
==========================================
</TABLE>
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (25 to 40
years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 12 years for machinery and
equipment). Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when
incurred.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
assets acquired and is being amortized by the straight line method over 40
years.
The carrying amount of goodwill is regularly reviewed for indicators of
impairment in value, which in the view of management are other than temporary,
including unexpected or adverse changes in the following: (i) the economic or
competitive environments in which the Company operates; (ii) profitability
analyses and (iii) cash flow analyses. If facts and circumstances suggest that a
subsidiary's net assets are impaired, the Company assesses the fair value of the
underlying business and reduces goodwill to an amount that results in the book
value of the subsidiary approximating fair value.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND PATENTS
Deferred financing costs are primarily costs incurred in connection with the
Company's acquisition and are being amortized over the term of the related debt
using the straight-line method. Patents are amortized using the straight-line
method over their estimated lives.
<PAGE>
BALLANTRAE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated into
U.S. dollars using a combination of historical and current exchange rates for
assets and liabilities. The related transaction gain or (loss) of ($226,708)
and $22,669 for the period January 1, 1997 to December 22, 1997 and the three
months ended December 31, 1996, respectively are included in net income.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments generally consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and
redeemable convertible preferred stock. The fair value of the Company's fixed
rate debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the
Company's current incremental borrowing rates. The carrying amounts of financial
instruments approximated their fair value at December 22, 1997 and December 31,
1996.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997, and will be
adopted by the Company in 1998. The Statement establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general purpose financial statements. The Statement will not have any impact
on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information. The Statement changes the way public
companies are required to report segment information in annual financial
statements and in interim financial reports to stockholders. It also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas,
and major customers. The Statement is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and will be adopted by the
Company in 1998. The Company is evaluating the impact that this Statement will
have on its financial reporting.
2. ACQUISITIONS
On October 1, 1996, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Tractech Division of Dyneer Corporation
and Tractech Limited (Tractech). The aggregate purchase price was $33.9 million
including cash payments of $23.9 million and the issuance of $10 million in a
11% subordinated promissory note payable on October 31, 2006. The Tractech
acquisition resulted in goodwill of $ 11.7 million which is being amortized over
40 years.
On October 24, 1996, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
Kraftube, Inc. (Kraftube) for an aggregate cash purchase price of $6,992,000.
Kraftube produces fabricated tubing assemblies used in air conditioning and
refrigeration compressors. The Kraftube acquisition resulted in goodwill of
$1,506,000 which is being amortized over 40 years.
<PAGE>
BALLANTRAE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The predecessor carryover basis included in the present equity structure results
from the purchase of Kraftube. Prior to the purchase, two current stockholders
of the Company were the majority shareholders of Kraftube (78%). At the date of

revolving loans ($19,984,000 and $22,239,100 outstanding at December 22, 1997

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at the prime base lending rate or
LIBOR base rate plus an applicable spread that ranges from zero to .75% for the
prime based rate or 2.0% to 3.25% for the LIBOR based rate. The average
interest rate at December 22, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was 9.0% and 8.75%,
respectively. The Company pays a commitment fee that ranges from .25% to .625%
annually on the unused revolving and pooled loans. The Company's inventory,
accounts receivable, personal property, certain real estate and intangibles are
pledged as collateral under the Agreement. The Company is also required to
maintain a minimum net worth and meet certain financial ratios on a consolidated
basis.
Tractech Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, issued to Dyneer Corporation a
subordinated note for $10 million with a fixed annual interest of 11% due semi-
annually in connection with the acquisition discussed above. The note matures
October 31, 2006. The Company has guaranteed Tractech Inc.'s obligation to
Dyneer Corporation. Titan Wheel International, Inc. (Titan Wheel), the parent
company of Dyneer Corporation, was a defendant in an unresolved lawsuit at the
time Tractech was sold to the Company. If Titan Wheel prevails in this lawsuit,
the Company is to pay Titan Wheel $750,000. If Titan Wheel loses or no
decision is reached by September 30, 2001, the subordinated note to Dyneer
Corporation will be reduced by $750,000.
5. REDEEMABLE EXCHANGEABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF PARENT AND SUBSIDIARY
Ballantrae Corporation and Kraftube have 2,791,838 preferred shares outstanding,
(3,250,000 shares authorized, par value $.01 per share and liquidation
preference of $1.00 per share) and 80,514 preferred shares outstanding, (150,000
shares authorized, par value $.01 per share and liquidation preference of $100
per share), respectively, designated as 12% Exchangeable Preferred Stock (12%
Preferred Stock). The provisions of the 12% Preferred Stock call for a
cumulative cash dividend equal to 12% per share. The 12% Preferred Stock must be
redeemed by September 30, 2006, at the liquidation preference amount plus
accrued and unpaid dividends. At the option of the issuer, the 12% Preferred
Stock may be redeemed at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference
plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, the 12% Preferred Stock may be
exchanged, at the option of the issuer, in whole or in part, for 12% junior
subordinated debentures to be issued by the respective company at the
liquidation preference amount plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends which
accrue but remain unpaid for one year accrue additional dividends at the rate of
12%. If the Company or Kraftube is liquidated or merged and is not the
surviving entity, the holders of the 12% Preferred Stock will receive in cash
the liquidation preference amount per share plus an amount equal to full
cumulative dividends. The holders of the 12% Preferred Stock have no voting
rights except on matters relating to the preferred stock. The carrying value of
the 12% Preferred Stock includes cumulative unpaid and accrued dividends of
$399,601 and $64,192 for Ballantrae Corporation and $1,152,421 and $190,587 for
Kraftube at December 22, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

No provision has been made for United States federal and state or foreign taxes
that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries ($2,915,639 at December 22, 1997) because it is expected that such
earnings will be reinvested in these foreign operations indefinitely. It is not
practical to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable on the eventual
remittances of such earnings.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases a building under a noncancelable operating lease which
provides for a renewal option every five years. The operating lease has rental
payments due of approximately $235,000 in 1998 and $78,333 in 1999.
Total rental expense under all operating leases aggregated $316,045 and $98,263
for the period January 1, 1997 to December 22, 1997 and for the three months
ended December 31, 1996, respectively. Included in rental expense is $1 per
year for the lease of equipment having an original cost of approximately
$2,350,000 pursuant to an incentive lease arrangement sponsored by the Irish
Development Authority. The Company has the right to continue this lease
indefinitely.
An officer of Kraftube has been granted an option to purchase up to 3.5% of the
outstanding common shares of Kraftube. The option vests in 2002. At that time,
the officer has the option to sell (the put option) and Kraftube has the option
to buy (the call option) the shares of stock issued upon the exercise of the
option, for a formula based price. The formula is

based on the average earnings before interest and taxes for the three years
ended December 31, 2001 and the amount of debt outstanding. The call and put
options expire on December 31, 2002.
The Company is party to legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company believes that the disposition of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

and certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legends in
addition to any other legends required under applicable law:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A SECURITIES

PURCHASE AND HOLDERS AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE
HOLDERS SPECIFIED THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. THE SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER
DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SUCH
AGREEMENT AND THE SECURITIES ARE TRANSFERABLE ONLY UPON PROOF OF
COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
4.2. Regulatory Compliance Cooperation. So long as CVC or its
---- ---------------------------------
Affiliates beneficially own any of the Securities, before the Company redeems,
purchases or otherwise acquires, directly or indirectly, or converts or takes
any action with respect to the voting rights of, any shares of any class of its
capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares
of any class of its capital stock, the Company shall give CVC thirty (30) days
prior written notice of such pending action. Upon the written request of CVC
made within thirty (30) days after its receipt of any such notice, stating that
after giving effect to such action CVC would have a Regulatory Problem (as
described below), the Company will defer taking such action for such period (not
to extend beyond ninety (90) days after CVC's receipt of the Company's original
notice) as CVC requests to permit it and its Affiliates to reduce the quantity
of Securities held by it and its Affiliates in order to avoid the Regulatory
Problem. In addition, the Company will not be a party to any merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or other transaction pursuant to which CVC would
be required to take any voting securities, or any securities convertible into
voting securities, which might reasonably be expected to cause CVC to have a
Regulatory Problem. For purposes of this paragraph, a person will be deemed to
have a "Regulatory Problem" when such person and such person's Affiliates would
own, control or have power over a greater quantity of securities of any kind
issued by the Company than are permitted to be owned under any requirement of
any governmental authority applicable to such person.

shall exist or occur any vacancy on the Company's Board of Directors in a
directorship subject to nomination by CVC or Masco, as the case may be, such
vacancy shall not be filled by the remaining members of the Company's Board of
Directors but each Investor hereby agrees promptly to consent in writing or vote
or cause to be voted all shares of Class A Common Stock now or hereafter owned
or controlled by it to elect that individual nominated to fill such vacancy and
serve as a director, as shall be designated by CVC or Masco, as the case may be.

<PAGE>
6.2. Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the
---- ------------------------
contrary contained herein, no Original Management Investor shall effect a
Transfer prior to July 29, 1999 of any Securities which at the time of Transfer
are subject to the Purchase Option (as hereinafter defined) and no New
Management Investor shall effect a Transfer prior to the third anniversary of
the "Closing Date" specified for each such New Management Investor (the "Third

Securities which at the time of Transfer are subject to the Purchase Option,
other than (i) pursuant to Section 6.3 in connection with the Purchase Option,

question or (iv) in connection with a Public Offering in which such Management

conditions on Transfer as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion,
including, but not limited to, requirements that the transferee be an employee

execute an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
pursuant to which such employee shall agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as were binding upon the transferor of such Shares,
and such other provisions as the Company may determine, and upon such execution
such employee shall be entitled to the benefit of such provisions hereof and
such other provisions as the Company determines and are set forth in such
agreement. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be null
and void and of no force and effect and the purported transferees shall have no
rights or privileges in or with respect to the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, each Management Investor agrees that he will not effect a
Transfer of any Securities prior to the lapse of such period of time following
acquisition thereof as may be required to comply with applicable state
securities laws.
For the purposes of Article VI, the "Permitted Transferees" of a
Management Investor shall be (1) the executors, administrators, heirs and
distributees of the Management Investor or her or his transferees to whom the
Common Stock is Transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution on

grandchildren (in each case, natural or adopted) and (3) a trust the
beneficiaries of which, a corporation the stockholders and directors of which,
or a partnership the limited and general partners of which include only the
Management Investor, her or his spouse or her or his children or grandchildren
(in each case, natural or adopted); provided, that, as a condition to a Transfer
-------- ----
to any Permitted Transferee such Permitted Transferee shall agree, in writing
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to become
bound, and thereby shall become bound, by all the terms of this Agreement
applicable to the Management Investor transferring such Securities. The
Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) for a Permitted Transferee shall be

---- ----------------
(a) General Terms. In the event that on or prior to July 29, 1999 as
--- -------------
to the Original Management Investors, or the Third Anniversary as to the New
Management Investors, any Management Investor shall cease to be employed by the
Company due to retirement, resignation or termination by the Company, with or
without Cause, such Management Investor (or his transferees, successors or
assigns) shall give prompt notice to the Company of such termination (except in
the case of termination by the Company with or without Cause), and the Company,
or one or more designee(s) selected by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors, shall have the right and option at any time within 90 days after the
later of the effective date of such termination of employment (the "Termination
Date") or the date of the Company's receipt of the aforesaid notice, to purchase
from such Management Investor, or his transferees, successors or assigns, as the
case may be, any or all of the Securities then owned by such Management Investor
(and his Permitted Transferees) which the Company then has the right to purchase
at the Adjusted Cost Price set forth in Section 6.3(a)(ii) at a purchase price
equal to the Option Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined). The Company or its
designee(s) shall give notice to the terminated Management Investor (or his
transferees, successors or assigns) of its intention to purchase Securities at
any time not later than 90 days after the Termination Date. (The right of the
Company and its designee(s) set forth in this Section 6.3 to purchase a
terminated Management Investor's Securities is hereinafter referred to as the
"Purchase Option"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
upon the death or Permanent Disability of a Management Investor, the Purchase
Option shall terminate immediately and automatically as to the Securities held
by such Management Investor and his Permitted Transferees which, at the time of
such Management Investor's death or Permanent Disability were subject to the
Purchase Option.
(i) Exercise of Purchase Option. The Purchase Option shall be
--- ---------------------------
exercised by written notice to the terminated Management Investor (or his
transferees, successors or assigns) signed by an officer of the Company on
behalf of the Company or by its designee(s), as the case may be. Such notice
shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be purchased and
shall set forth a time and place of closing which shall be no earlier than 10
days and no later than 60 days after the date such notice is sent. At such
closing, the seller shall deliver the certificates evidencing the number of
shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the Company and/or its designee(s),
accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank or duly executed instruments
of transfer, and any other documents that are necessary to transfer to the
Company and/or its designee(s) good title to such of the Securities to be
transferred, free and clear of all pledges, security interests, liens, charges,
encumbrances, equities, claims and options of whatever nature other than those
imposed under this Agreement, and concurrently with such delivery, the Company
and/or its designee(s) shall deliver to the seller the full amount of the Option
Purchase Price for such Securities in cash by certified or bank cashier's check.
(ii) Option Purchase Price. Subject to Section 6.3(a)(iii) below, if
---- ---------------------
the Management Investor shall be terminated by the Company with or without Cause
or shall cease to
-8-
<PAGE>
be employed by the Company by reason of retirement or resignation, the "Option
Purchase Price" for the Common Stock to be purchased from such Management
Investor pursuant to the Purchase Option (such number of shares of Common Stock
being the "Purchase Number") shall equal the price calculated as set forth in
the table below opposite the applicable Termination Date of such Management
Investor:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with the exercise of any Purchase Option pursuant to Section 6.3, the
Company may deduct from the Option Purchase Price paid to any Management
Investor the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal and accrued but
unpaid interest due on any Promissory Note of such Management Investor to the
Company.
As used herein, "Adjusted Cost Price" for each share of Common Stock
means the original purchase price per share for the Management Investor's Common
Stock as set forth in Section 1.1 (including any shares of Common Stock which
have been converted into other shares of capital stock of the Company, and
adjusted for any stock dividend payable upon, or subdivision or combination of,
the Common Stock);
(iii) Sale in Public Offering. Share sold in a Public
----- -----------------------
Offering will be sold free of the restrictions contained in this Article VI, but
this Article VI shall continue to apply in accordance with its terms to all
Common Stock not sold in such offering. If less than all of a Management
Investor's shares of Common Stock are sold in such an offering, for purposes of
any subsequent calculation hereunder of the Option Purchase Price, the Option
Purchase Price shall equal the Adjusted Cost Price multiplied by the product of
the Adjusted Cost Price Percentage and the Adjusted Purchase Number (as
hereinafter defined), where: (w) "Adjusted Purchase Number" means the remainder
determined by subtracting the Publicly-Sold Stock from the Purchase Number, (x)
"Publicly-Sold Stock" means the total number of shares of Common Stock
previously sold by the respective Management Investor in a public offering, and
(z) "Adjusted Cost Price Percentage" means (1) 20% multiplied by the number of
years elapsed from July 29, 1994 for the Original Management Investors, and (2)
33 1/3% multiplied by the number of years elapsed from the "Closing Date"
specified on Schedule II with respect to the respective New Management
Investors.
(b) Company's Right of First Refusal. In the event that, on or prior
--- --------------------------------
to July 29, 1999 as to the Original Management Investors, and the Third
Anniversary as to the New Management Investors, (i) a Management Investor is no
longer employed by the Company; (ii) the Company or its designee has declined to
exercise the Purchase Option with respect to any of such Management Investor's
Common Stock; and (iii) the Management Investor thereafter proposes to sell any
or all of such Common Stock to a third party in a bona fide transaction, the
Management Investor may not Transfer such Common Stock without first offering to
sell such Common Stock to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).
The Management Investor shall deliver a written notice (a "Sale Notice")
to the Company describing in reasonable detail the Securities being offered, the
name of the offeree, the purchase price requested and all other material terms
of the proposed Transfer. Upon receipt of the Sale Notice, the Company, or a
designee selected by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of
Directors of the Company, shall have the right and option to purchase all or any
portion of the Securities being offered at the price and on the terms of the
proposed Transfer set forth in the Sale Notice. Within 30 days after receipt of
the Sale Notice, the Company shall notify
-10-
<PAGE>
such Management Investor whether or not it wishes to purchase any or all of the
offered Securities.
If the Company elects to purchase any of the offered Securities, the
closing of the purchase and sale of such Securities shall be held at the place
and on the date established by the Company in its notice to the Management
Investor in response to the Sale Notice, which in no event shall be less than 10
or more than 60 days from the date of such notice. In the event that the
Company does not elect to purchase all the offered Securities, the Management
Investor may, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Transfer the
remaining offered Securities to the offeree specified in the Sale Notice at a
price no less than the price specified in the Sale Notice and on other terms no
more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice
during the 180-day period immediately following the last date on which the
Company could have elected to purchase the offered Securities. Any such
Securities not transferred within such 180-day period will be subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.3(b) upon subsequent Transfer.
6.4. Involuntary Transfers. In the event that the Securities owned by
---- ---------------------
any Management Investor shall be subject to sale or other Transfer (the date of
such sale or transfer shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Transfer Date")
on or prior to July 29, 1999 as to the Original Management Investors, and the
Third Anniversary as to the New Management Investors, by reason of (i)
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (ii)
distraint, levy, execution or other involuntary Transfer, then such Management
Investor shall give the Company written notice thereof promptly upon the
occurrence of such event stating the terms of such proposed Transfer, the
identity of the proposed transferee, the price or other consideration, if
readily determinable, for which the Securities are proposed to be transferred,
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred. After its receipt of
such notice or, failing such receipt, after the Company otherwise obtains actual
knowledge of such a proposed Transfer, the Company, or a designee selected by a
majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company,
shall have the right and option to purchase all, but not less than all of such
Securities which right shall be exercised by written notice given by the Company
to such proposed transferor within 60 days following the Company's receipt of
such notice or, failing such receipt, the Company's obtaining actual knowledge
of such proposed Transfer. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be at
the price and on the terms applicable to such proposed Transfer. If the nature
of the event giving rise to such involuntary Transfer is such that no readily
determinable consideration is to be paid for the Transfer of the Securities, the
price to be paid by the Company shall be the Option Purchase Price that would
have been applicable hereunder had the Management Investor incurred a
Termination Date as of the date of such proposed Transfer for the Securities.
The closing of the purchase and sale of Securities shall be held at the place
and the date to be established by the Company, which in no event shall be less
than 10 or more than 60 days from the date on which the Company gives notice of
its election to purchase the Securities. At such closing, the Management
Investor shall deliver the certificates evidencing the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased by the Company, accompanied by stock powers duly
endorsed in blank or duly executed instruments of transfer, and any other
documents that are necessary to transfer to the Company good title to such of
the
-11-
<PAGE>
Securities to be transferred, free and clear of all pledges, security interests,
liens, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims and options of whatever nature
other than those imposed under this Agreement, and concurrently with such
delivery, the Company shall deliver to the Management Investor the full amount
of the purchase price for such Securities in cash by certified or bank cashier's
check.
6.5. [Intentionally omitted]
6.6. Purchaser Representative. If the Company or any Investor enters
---- ------------------------
into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then
in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction
(including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), each Management
Investor will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative
(as such term is defined in Rule 501(h) promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act) reasonably acceptable to the
Company. If any Management Investor appoints the purchaser representative
designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser
representative, but if any Management Investor declines to appoint the purchaser
representative designated by the Company such Management Investor will appoint
another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the Company), and
such Management Investor will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser
representative so appointed.
