                 THE COAST DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND SUBSIDIARIES

          NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
         present the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1995 and the
         results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended
         March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The accounting policies followed by the
         Company are set forth in note A to the Company's financial statements
         in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December
         31, 1994.

2.       The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31,
         1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

3.       Earnings per share are based upon the average number of common and
         common equivalent (dilutive stock options and warrants) shares
         outstanding during each period (5,306,264 at March 31, 1995 and
         5,185,775 at December 31, 1994).

4.       The Company leases its corporate offices, warehouse facilities and
         data processing equipment.  Those leases are classified as operating
         leases as they do not meet the capitalization criteria of FASB
         Statement No. 13.  The office and warehouse leases expire over the
         next eight years and the equipment leases expire over the next five
         years.

         The minimum future rental commitments under noncancellable operating
         leases having an initial or remaining term in excess of one year as of
         December 31, 1994 are as follows:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          ------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         Net sales increased by approximately $1,998,000 or 5% in the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same quarter of 1994.  This sales increase
was due to (i) the acquisition and consolidation of The Coast Distribution
System (Canada) Inc. ("Coast Canada") as of March 1, 1994, the full effects of
which  were not reflected in quarterly operating results until after the first
quarter of 1994, and (ii) the addition, in the second quarter of 1994, of a new
distribution center in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  Same center sales were
relatively flat in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994 due to a softening in the economy and poor weather conditions throughout
the country.

         The Company's gross margin increased to 19.5% of net sales in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 17.7% of net sales in the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.  This increase was due primarily to (i) increased sales
of the Company's proprietary products, and (ii) price increases on selected
products.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage
of net sales to 14.8% in the first quarter of 1995 from 14.1% for the same
quarter of 1994.  This increase was due primarily to increases in selling costs
resulting from the promotion of the Company's proprietary products and the
establishment of a national customer service center in San Jose, California.

         The Company maintains ownership positions of between 25% and 50% in
several companies in related industries.  The Company's ownership interests in
these companies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Under
this method, the Company includes in its operating results its pro rata share
of the net income of these companies which is reported as "equity in net
earnings of affiliates."  The Company's equity in the net earnings of these
companies is not cash, and the Company is dependent on the declaration of cash
dividends by those companies to realize any current cash from these
investments.  No dividends were declared by those companies in the first
quarter of 1995.

         The improvement in operating income for the first quarter of 1995, as
compared to the first quarter of 1994, is primarily attributable to the
increase in the Company's gross margin.

         In the first quarter of 1995, interest expense increased by $236,000,
or 29.5%, as compared to the same period in 1994, as a result of increases in
outstanding borrowings the proceeds of which were used to fund (i) a portion of
the price paid by the Company for the remaining shares of Coast Canada that
were acquired in March 1994, and (ii) increased working capital requirements as
a result of the Company's expanded operations, both in Canada and the United
States, where the Company opened new distribution centers, in Eau Claire,
Wisconsin, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Anchorage, Alaska.

         The provision for income taxes increased by $180,000 or 50.3% in 1995
as compared to 1994 due to (i) the increase in pre-tax earnings in the first
quarter of 1995, and (ii) a higher effective tax rate in Canada due to
increased earnings in Provinces which impose higher rates of tax on income.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company finances its working capital requirements for its domestic
operations primarily with borrowings under a long-term revolving bank credit
facility and internally generated funds.  Under that credit facility, the
Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $32,000,000, or (ii) an amount equal






                                      6
<PAGE>   7
to 80% of its eligible accounts receivable and 50% of its eligible inventory 
(the "borrowing base").  At May 9, 1995, outstanding borrowings under the 
revolving credit facility were approximately $28,446,000.

         The working capital requirements for the Company's operations in
Canada are financed primarily with borrowings under a separate revolving credit
facility and internally generated funds.  Under that credit facility, the
Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) C$10,000,000 for the period February
1 through July 5 of each year, and C$6,000,000 during the period July 6 through
January 31 of each year, or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of the eligible
accounts receivable and 25% of the eligible inventory of Coast Canada.  At May
9, 1995, outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were
approximately C$7,648,000.

         The Company believes that available credit under the revolving credit
facilities, together with internally generated funds, will be sufficient to
enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable
future.

         The increases in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and
bank borrowings at March 31, 1995, as compared to December 31, 1994, are
primarily the result of increases in product sales to customers and increases
in inventories to meet customer demand that typically occur in the latter part
of the first quarter in anticipation of increased consumer usage, in the spring
and summer, of recreational vehicles and boats and a concomitant increase in
demand for the repair and replacement parts and accessories which the Company
distributes.


Seasonality and Inflation
- -------------------------

         Sales of recreational vehicle and boating parts, supplies and
accessories are seasonal.  The Company has significantly higher sales during
the six-month period from April through September than it does during the
remainder of the year.  Because a substantial portion of the Company's expenses
are fixed, operating income declines and the Company sometimes incurs losses
and must rely more heavily on borrowings to fund operating requirements in the
months when sales are lower.

         Generally, the Company has been able to pass inflationary price
increases on to its customers.  However, inflation also may cause or may be
accompanied by increases in gasoline prices and interest rates.  Such
increases, or even the prospect of increases in the price or shortages in the
supply of gasoline, can adversely affect the purchase and usage of recreational
vehicles, which can result in a decline in the demand for the Company's
products.
