PART I.
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
Lund International Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") was incorporated on November 10,
1986, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Lund Industries,
Incorporated ("Lund") was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in 1965 and
first engaged in its present business in 1974. In October 1987, Holdings
acquired Lund as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary. During fiscal 1993, a
foreign sales corporation was incorporated and named Lund FSC, Inc. (formerly
Lund International FSC, Inc. "FSC") as a wholly-owned foreign sales corporation
of Holdings. In fiscal 1996, Lund Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition") was
incorporated as a Minnesota corporation. During fiscal 1996, Acquisition
acquired certain assets of Innovative Accessories, Inc., an Oklahoma
corporation. (Holdings, Lund, FSC and Acquisition will hereinafter be referred
to collectively as the "Company" or "Lund").
Lund is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad line of
appearance accessories for new and used light trucks, including pickup trucks,
sport utility vehicles, minivans and other vans. The Company's products allow
consumers to customize the relatively uniform look of light trucks with stylish
and functional accessories which are engineered and designed to give an original
equipment look and fit. The Company currently has 34 product lines, each
designed to fit a wide range of makes, models and years of light trucks. The
Company's major product categories are:
EXTERNAL VISORS, which give light trucks an aerodynamically-styled look
while reducing glare;
HOOD SHIELDS/BUG DEFLECTORS, which provide a distinctive look and
protect hoods and windshields from insects, stones and road debris;
RUNNING BOARDS, which provide an original equipment look, protect the
rocker panels of a vehicle and assist in passenger entry and exit;
TONNEAU COVERS, which protect the bed of a pickup truck with a smooth
stylish look; and
OTHER EXTERNAL APPEARANCE ACCESSORIES, which include cab extenders,
styling covers for taillights and headlights, tailgate protectors,
fender extensions, custom grille inserts, rear window air deflectors,
side window covers, wiper cowls, rear valances, cargo trays, floor mats
and bumper covers.
Products
The Company currently has 34 product lines, each designed to fit a wide range of
vehicles. These products are generally manufactured from fiberglass, vinyl or
plastic sheets composed of polyester, ABS plastic, acrylic or polycarbonate, or
reinforced vinyl. Virtually all of Lund's products are custom molded for an
exact fit to each vehicle.
<PAGE>
EXTERNAL VISORS
In fiscal 1978, Lund entered the light truck accessory market by introducing the
Lund SunVisor(R). Since then, the Company has been designing, manufacturing and
selling external visors and believes it is the largest supplier of external
visors in the industry. In fiscal 1996, Lund introduced and began shipping the
Solar(TM) and Lunar (TM) visors. The visor category represented 30.8%, 36.2%,
and 43.4% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company's current visor product lines include:
LUND SUNVISOR(R). The Lund SunVisor extends forward from the roofline of the
light truck's cab, enhancing its appearance with an aerodynamically-styled look
while reducing glare for passengers. A distinctive hawk-like silhouette is
incorporated into a majority of the Lund SunVisors.
MOONVISOR (R). The MoonVisor is similar to the Lund SunVisor, with the addition
of recessed amber running lights for additional style and lighting.
The SunVisors and MoonVisors are sold unpainted to allow a customer to match the
paint of the visor to that of the vehicle. The visors are easy to install and
are mounted to the cab of the vehicle using self-tapping screws which are capped
with custom finishing covers.
SOLAR (TM) VISOR. The SolarVisor is manufactured using a UV stable, ABS polymer
and is designed with the unique feature of attaching in the door mount of the
vehicle rather than into the roof. This visor is available in the color black
and can be painted to match the exterior of the vehicle.
LUNAR(TM) VISOR. The LunarVisor is similar to the SolarVisor, with the addition
of Department of Transportation approved recessed amber lights.
HOOD SHIELDS/BUG DEFLECTORS
The Company entered the hood shield/bug deflector market in fiscal 1990 and now
offers four styles, which represented 23.8%, 24.1%, and 23.9% of the Company's
net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These product lines
currently are:
INTERCEPTOR (TM). The Interceptor has a wrap-around design that is consistent
with today's sleek looking vehicles. The Interceptor's design protects the
leading edge of each fender as well as the hood from bugs, stones and other road
debris. This product line is available in smoke, red, blue and clear. The clear
shield can be painted for a more customized look.
FRONTRUNNER (TM). The FrontRunner, which is also available for certain cars,
follows the contour of the hood for a "second skin" look and mounts easily
without tools or drilling. The FrontRunner protects the hood as well as the
leading edge of each fender and is available in a black satin finish which can
be painted to match the color of the vehicle.
DEFENDER(TM). The Defender is a low-profile hood shield that is contoured to
match the lines of the hood for maximum aerodynamics. The Defender can be
installed using screws or tape. This product line is available in the smoke
color.
<PAGE>
AVENGER(TM). The Avenger is similar to the Defender but has the added feature of
wrap-around design for hood and fender protection. This product line is also
available in the smoke color.
RUNNING BOARDS AND STEP BOARDS
In fiscal 1992, the Company entered this market when it developed its line of
fiberglass running boards. The Company currently offers four lines of boards,
which provide an original equipment look, protect the rocker panels of a vehicle
and assist in passenger entry and exit. This product category represented 20.0%,
18.0% and 14.4% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These lines currently are:
RUNNINGMATES(TM). RunningMates are full-length fiberglass running boards that
come with a non-skid rubber tread, gravel guard and splash guard. RunningMates
are offered in a two-piece design for pickups and large sport utility vehicles.
This product line is available in ready-to-paint white gel-coat or, for the
Ford(R) Explorer, in mocha.

RunningMates in style and function. StepMates are available in a white gel-coat
finish to allow a customer to match the exterior of the vehicle.

product with limited part numbers that fit a broad array of vehicles. SuperSteps
are molded from an ABS black polymer plastic which can be painted to match the
vehicle or installed without painting.
SIDETRACKER(TM). SideTracker running boards are designed to allow four
applications to fit most extended cab pickups and sport utility vehicles. These
running boards are manufactured from ABS plastic polymer which can be installed
without painting or painted to match the vehicle.
TONNEAU COVERS
The Company entered into the tonneau cover market in fiscal 1996 with the
acquisition of certain assets of Innovative Accessories, Inc. Lund currently
markets three styles of tonneau covers, which are each designed to protect the
bed of a pickup truck. This product category represented 6.5% and 2.3% of the
Company's net sales in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. These product lines
currently are:
HATCHBACK(TM). The Hatchback is a uniquely designed cab-extending tonneau cover
that incorporates the features and functions of an automobile trunk with the
benefits of a hard tonneau cover. The Hatchback is constructed of three
individually molded pieces of fiberglass, assembled to make the smooth inner and
outer surfaces. The Hatchback comes in a white gel-coat finish which can be
painted to match the vehicle.
ADVANTAGE(TM). The Advantage tonneau cover is a vinyl cover that is attached to
the bed of a pickup truck to protect the cargo from the elements and to add a
smooth look to the pickup. The Advantage tonneau cover is available in black.
The cover attaches to the bed of the truck with the use of anodized aluminum
rails that are clamped onto the bed. Rust-proof Insulsnaps(R) are used to attach
the vinyl to the rail.
PREMIER(TM). The Premier tonneau cover is similar to the Advantage cover but has
an upgraded bow design system that allows for easy removal of the bows. The
Premier is available in a variety of colors to complement the color of the
pickup.
<PAGE>
OTHER EXTERNAL APPEARANCE ACCESSORIES
The Company began designing, manufacturing and selling other external appearance
accessories in fiscal 1982. These products represented 18.9%, 19.4% and 18.3% of
the Company's net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company's other external appearance accessories currently are:
CAB EXTENDERS AND BODY ACCESSORIES. The Company designed and began selling cab
extenders in the 1980's, and other body accessories in the 1990's.
FASTBACK(R). The Fastback is a cab spoiler designed to enhance the appearance of
a pickup truck by extending the lines of the cab. It also acts like a visor for
the back of the cab and provides a bar on which accessory lights may be mounted.
This product line is available with solid or cutout side panels and has a white
gel-coat finish which can be painted to match the vehicle.
RACERBACK(TM). The Racerback cab fairing is similar to the Fastback except that
it raises above the cab line with a streamlined spoiler-effect and fastens to
the truck cab and roof. The Racerback also allows for the use of a tonneau
cover. The Racerback comes in a white gel-coat finish which can be painted to
match the vehicle.

a nine inch super-wide size for Chevrolet(R) pickup trucks. WideSides come in a
white gel-coat finish which can be painted to match the vehicle.

The Company introduced the Eclipse Side Window Styling Covers in fiscal 1994.
The Eclipse product lines are:
ECLIPSE HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHT STYLING COVERS. The Eclipse headlight and
taillight styling covers are solid in design and can be easily mounted without
tools or drilling, either by snapping in place or by using a patented mounting
system acquired by the Company. The Eclipse headlight styling covers are
available in smoke and paintable clear, and the Eclipse taillight styling covers

accessories with its headlight styling covers, which are available for most
domestic and imported cars and light trucks.

finish.
CARGO TRAYS AND FLOOR MATS. The Company entered the market for cargo trays and
floor mats with the introduction of two new products in fiscal 1995. These
products are used to protect the interior floor of vehicles. Lund's cargo trays
and floor mats are manufactured using a special blend of polymers and recycled
rubber.
SPORTLINER(TM) CARGO TRAY. The SportLiner cargo trays are used to protect the
storage areas of sport utility vehicles and minivans and are manufactured on the
Company's vacuum-forming machine. This product is available in a variety of
colors to match the interior of the vehicle.
<PAGE>
SPORTMAT(TM) FLOOR TRAY. SportMats are designed to protect the interior floor
space of a light truck and are also manufactured on the Company's vacuum-forming
machine. This product is available to match the SportLiner Cargo Trays.
Manufacturing Process
The Company's products are generally manufactured from fiberglass, vinyl or
plastic sheets composed of polyester, ABS plastic, acrylic, polycarbonate or
reinforced vinyl. Product lines representing a majority of the Company's sales
are manufactured from laminated fiberglass and polyester resin, making these the
predominant raw materials currently used by the Company. The Company believes
that the raw materials it uses are available from numerous sources and that it
could find alternative vendors to supply such materials or alternative
materials, if necessary.
Fiberglass products, such as Lund SunVisors, Fastbacks and RunningMates, are
manufactured largely by hand using production molds to form a 1/8" fiberglass
laminate into product shapes. The edges are then machine trimmed and hand sanded
for a smooth finish.
Plastic products, including the Solar and Lunar visors, FrontRunner, WindJammer
and the Eclipse product lines, are manufactured from plastic sheets utilizing
drape-forming and vacuum- forming processes. In the drape-forming process, a
plastic sheet is cut into custom flat shapes, known as blanks. These blanks are
heated in a computerized conveyor oven and formed into products by draping the
heated blanks over molds. In the vacuum-forming process, a plastic sheet is
heated and formed over a mold using vacuum pressure in a thermo-forming machine.
Tonneau covers, including the Premium and Advantage lines, are manufactured from
a reinforced vinyl tonneau cover material and aluminum extrusion. The cover
material is cut and sewn to fit each application and the aluminum is cut to size
to match.
To supplement its internal manufacturing, the Company relies on independent
manufacturers. The Company qualifies each manufacturer and works closely with it
to assure the timely delivery of products that meet the Company's
specifications. The Company generally retains ownership of the tooling used to
produce a product line, with the understanding that it will remove the tooling
from the manufacturer's plant at the termination of the manufacturing
relationship.
The Company has not experienced any product liability claims in the past. Lund
generally provides limited lifetime warranties against manufacturing defects on
its products. In fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company had warranty expense of
$ 1,110,440, $778,239 and $510,624, respectively, which represented 2.6%, 1.7%
and 1.1% of net sales, respectively. These expenses resulted primarily from
warranty claims related to breakage in its acrylic product lines. The Company
believes it has addressed this issue by moving to a virtually non-breakable
Lexan(R) plastic material for a majority of its acrylic product line.
Marketing and Sales
The Company sells its products through a national distribution system utilizing
an in-house sales staff and independent manufacturer's representatives. The
Company has three in-house regional sales managers who
<PAGE>
oversee 13 independent manufacturer's representative organizations employing
approximately 60 sales representatives. The Company's staff and the independent
manufacturer's representatives sell the Company's products to warehouse
distributors, dealer expediters, automotive specialty chain stores, converters
and catalog companies. In addition, the Company sells heavy duty truck visor
products to original equipment manufacturers. In fiscal 1997, the Company began
limited direct marketing to retailers.
While the light truck accessory market is highly fragmented, the Company
believes that there is a trend among distributors and retailers to prefer
suppliers, such as Lund, who provide well-recognized brand names, customer
service and a broad product line that accommodates "one-stop-shopping." In
addition, the Company believes there is a trend toward computerized ordering and
therefore offers its customers access to ordering through Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI).
Virtually all of the Company's sales are from product lines sold in the United
States and Canada. The Company delivers product to warehouse distributors and
retailers by truck from its manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Anoka,
Minnesota and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as well as from independent warehouses in
Toronto, Ontario and Los Angeles, California.
The Company's marketing program is focused on developing high profile new
products, creating excitement around its broad product offering and building
equity in the Lund name.
The Company employs an integrated communications strategy that utilizes consumer
and trade advertising, public relations, promotions, point-of-purchase and
packaging to communicate a specific message to each level of the selling
process. That message is centered on industry leadership, innovation, high
quality, breadth of line and Company integrity.
Consumer advertising is focused on building equity in the Lund name through
getting the "Lund Look". The program utilizes consumer magazines targeted to the
street truck enthusiasts, off-road enthusiasts, sportsmen, tow vehicle owners
and family vehicle markets.
Promotion plays a critical role in exposing the "Lund Look" to the consuming
public. An example is the Company's sponsorship of the nationally televised
"Lund Look 275" NASCAR(R) Craftsman Super Truck Series Race. In addition, the
Company participates in other enthusiast events through team sponsorships in
racing, off-roading and fishing. The Company also promotes through the use of
"Lundmobiles". Lundmobiles consist of various light trucks that have been
customized with Lund products to illustrate the ultimate extent of the "Lund
Look". Lundmobiles appear at numerous consumer and trade shows, are used in all
of the Company's advertisements, are featured in consumer magazine editorials
and are utilized by retailers and distributors to create consumer excitement.
Other steps in pulling the product through the distribution system involve trade
advertising, direct communication with businesses that come in contact with the
consumer and a cooperative advertising program to help them reach the consumer.
The Company uses various trade magazines to create excitement at the jobber and
retail level. In addition, the Company has developed a network of Authorized
Dealers that currently consists of over 9,000 retail businesses and a certified
dealer program that consists of 3,000 car dealerships. Lund communicates
directly with these dealers regarding new product introductions, promotions,
selling tools and selling techniques.
<PAGE>
The Company also communicates directly to the consumer through the use of its
high quality consumer packaging and point-of-purchase displays. The packaging
depicts the product in use on standard vehicles as well as "Lundmobiles" and
conveys the features and benefits of the specific product. Lund produces all of
its printed selling tools internally. These tools include product catalogs,
application lists and other product literature, which it distributes to the
warehouse distributors, retailers and independent sales representatives.
SEASONALITY AND BACKLOG
Historically, Lund has had a seasonal mix which favored late winter, spring and
early summer with higher sales than late summer and early fall. During fiscal
1996 and 1997, the Company did not experience its historical seasonal increases
due to problems with the production and shipment of new products. The Company
maintains an average backlog of two to five days.
COMPETITION
The Company's industry is highly competitive. The Company believes that
competition in the industry is based on brand name recognition, quality, design,
breadth of product line, price, service and packaging. Certain of the Company's
competitors and potential competitors, including manufacturers of light trucks,
have greater financial or other resources than the Company. There are no
significant technological or manufacturing barriers to entry into the Company's
business. While the Company has many competitors for most of its product lines,
it believes that in the United States it has one of the broadest offerings of
appearance accessories in the light truck market along with the strongest brand
name and that it occupies a dominant position for external visors and cab
extenders.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company generally seeks to obtain patent protection, shape/design trademarks
and brand trademarks for its products. The Company holds more than 20 patents,
expiring at various dates from 1998 to 2010, generally related to product design
or mounting procedures. In addition, the Company owns various federally
registered and common law trademarks, including the LUND SUNVISOR and a
shape/design mark, respectively, in the distinctive "hawk-like" design,
incorporated in a majority of the Company's visor products.
The Company has aggressively enforced its patents and trademarks and intends to
do so in the future. The Company believes that by aggressively enforcing its
patents and trademarks it deters other manufacturers from attempting to copy its
products or selling lesser quality products at lower prices.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
concerning consumer products, the environment and occupational safety and
health.
<PAGE>
EMPLOYEES
As of September 23, 1997, the Company employed 266 people on a full-time basis
and three people on a part-time basis. None of the Company's employees are
represented by a labor union. The Company believes its employee relations are
good.

<PAGE>
Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On April 9, 1996, the Company dismissed KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as its independent
accountant. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP was the independent accountant who was engaged
as its principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements for the
Company's fiscal year 1995. On April 9, 1996, the Company retained Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. as its independent accountants to audit the Company's financial
statements for the year ending June 30, 1996.
The reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on the financial statements of the Company
for the 1995 fiscal year did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the 1995
fiscal year and the subsequent interim period proceeding their dismissal, there
were no disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports.
During the Company's 1995 fiscal year and the subsequent interim period, there

SUMMARY: The Company recorded lower net sales and net income in fiscal 1997 as
net sales decreased to $43,305 and net income decreased to $2,196. Shown for the
periods indicated are the percentage relationships of certain items in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings to net sales and the percentage change of
dollar amounts of such items compared to prior periods.
NET SALES: Net sales decreased 7% for fiscal 1997 to $43,305 compared to $46,423
for fiscal 1996. Net sales decreased 2% in fiscal 1996 compared to net sales of
$47,384 for fiscal 1995. The net sales decreases resulted primarily from lower
sales of the Visor lines, which decreased 21% and 18% in fiscal 1997 and 1996
compared to fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Management believes decreased
sales in the Visor category resulted principally from the Company's customers
delaying visor orders in anticipation of the newly developed visor lines and
design, production and shipping delays in these new lines. Running Board sales
increased 4% and 23% in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. These increases were
driven by the continued popularity of the StepMate product line, and growth in
the SideTracker and SuperStepRunning Board lines introduced in fiscal 1996. The
growth in the Running Board category was offset by lower sales in the
RunningMate line during fiscal 1997. Tonneau Cover sales increased by 160% in
fiscal 1997 due to the acquisition of certain assets of Innovative Accessories,
Inc. in June 1996. The Other Appearance Accessories category decreased by 9% in
fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit margins for fiscal 1997 were
34.1% compared to 37.9% and 42.3% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
decrease in gross profit margins for both fiscal 1997 and 1996 compared to 1995
primarily resulted from an increased percentage of sales of lower gross margin
products, higher raw material plastic prices, warranty claims principally on
acrylic products, higher facility and lease costs, and higher fixed costs as a
percent of sales due to lower production and shipping volumes. In addition,
gross profit margins in fiscal 1997 were impacted by production and material
inefficiencies caused by the introduction of a new quality program.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses were
$4,386 in fiscal 1997 compared to $3,943 and $3,933 in fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
were 10.1% in fiscal 1997 compared to 8.5% and 8.3% in fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The dollar increase in fiscal 1997 was caused by administrative
expenses for the Oklahoma tonneau cover facility and expenses associated with
evaluating the Company's strategic alternatives. These increases were offset in
part by lower bad debt expense. The increase in general and administrative
expenses as a percent of net sales is related to the net sales decrease.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES: Selling and marketing expenses were $6,332 in
fiscal 1997 compared to $5,750 and $4,888 in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses were 14.6% in
fiscal 1997 compared to 12.4% and 10.3% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The dollar increase in both fiscal 1997 and 1996 resulted from higher customer
advertising and display expenses, general Company advertising and printing
costs, new product support costs, promotional sponsorship costs, and salary
expenses. The increase in selling and marketing expenses as a percent of net
sales is related to the net sales decrease.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES: Research and development expenses were $1,290
in fiscal 1997 compared to $1,109 and $934 in fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses
were 3.0% in fiscal 1997, 2.4% in fiscal 1996, and 2.0% in fiscal 1995. The
dollar increase in both fiscal 1997 and 1996 related to an increase in personnel
and product material to support both new product and application development,
increased operating lease expenses and higher computer system costs as the
Company is incorporating CAD/CAM design capabilities in its product development
process.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other income, net, was $364 in fiscal 1997 compared to
$258 in fiscal 1996 due primarily to higher interest income. Other income, net,
decreased $121 in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995. Both fiscal 1997 and 1996
have higher interest expense from the Industrial Development Revenue Bond for
the new facility compared to fiscal 1995 when the Company had leased facilities
during part of that year.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE: The effective income tax rates for fiscal 1997, 1996 and
1995 were 29.8%, 34.5% and 34.5%, respectively. The reduction in tax rates for
fiscal 1997 resulted from a higher percentage of tax exempt interest income
compared to taxable income.
OUTLOOK: As the Company discussed last year, a larger portion of automotive
aftermarket accessory sales are going through the large automotive retail
chains. In response to these market changes, the Company launched its new retail
program. The initial retail program roll-out, which began in the third and
fourth quarters of fiscal 1997 with retail store testing, will continue for the
next eighteen months to two years as the major retail automotive chains review
and integrate light truck accessory sales into their current product offerings.
The Company expects the retail segment will account for a larger percentage of
sales in the future.
The delays in designing, producing and shipping the visor and tonneau cover
product lines resulted in further reductions of sales in fiscal 1997. The
Company is completing a re-engineering and testing of the visors and expects to
begin shipping the Solar and Lunar visor lines for the full size light duty
trucks in the first and second quarters of fiscal 1998. During fiscal 1998,
market penetration of the new visor may be slower due to customer concerns
caused by original product design problems. The Company is completing tooling on
its re-engineered snapless tonneau, which is expected to begin shipping early in
the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
The Company has experienced significant delays in the implementation of its
new software programs due to software vendor quality problems. The Company is
implementing a previously released program and expects to complete
implementation by early October. The Company believes the additional features
and controls will allow a solid information platform for future internal and
external growth. In conjunction with the software implementation, the Company is
currently implementing a QS9000 quality program and expects to be certified by
December 1998 for both its Oklahoma and Minnesota locations. The quality
certification is critical to original equipment manufacturing customers such as
Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors.
The Company plans to leverage its current brand awareness and take
advantage of the fragmented automotive accessory market by executing an
aggressive Company acquisition program. The acquisition strategy will focus on
the light truck accessory aftermarket by increasing market share of the
Company's current product categories, adding additional product categories,
production capabilities, or distribution capabilities.
Over the last two fiscal years, the demand and prices for raw material
products, including plastic resins, fiberglass and corrugated packaging, have
stabilized. The Company anticipates a small price increase in plastics and
packaging, which are not expected to significantly impact the Company's gross
profit margins.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION:
Although increases in costs of certain materials and labor could adversely
affect the Company's operations, the Company generally has been able to increase
its selling prices to offset increased costs. Price competition, however,
particularly in the plastic product lines, could affect the ability of the
Company to increase its selling prices to reflect such increased costs. In
general, the Company believes that the relatively moderate inflation over the
last few years has not had a significant impact on the Company's net sales, but
that increasing raw material prices have had an impact on gross profit margins.
FINANCIAL CONDITION:
SUMMARY: The Company's financial condition on June 30, 1997 was strong. Cash and
marketable securities, including restricted cash, totalled $13,944, or 34% of
total assets. Working capital, the difference between current assets and current
liabilities, continued to increase. The Company has no working capital lines of
credit. The Company financed its new production, warehouse, and office facility
with tax-exempt Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.
The following key measurements are indicative of the excellent liquidity
and strong financial position of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Accounts receivable decreased by $1,651, or 16%, at June 30, 1997, as days'
sales outstanding (the average days worth of sales that are in accounts
receivable) decreased to 70 days from 78 days. Days' sales outstanding, which is
traditionally higher as of year end due to the seasonality of business, was
lower at June 30, 1997, due to decreased sales principally related to shipping
delays for new products.
Inventories increased by $411, or 7%, at June 30, 1997. The increase in
inventories was due to lower than anticipated sales in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997.
Accounts payable decreased by $428, or 19%, at June 30, 1997, due to the
timing of inventory purchases and more aggressive cash management to maximize
vendor cash discounts.
Purchases of plant and equipment during fiscal 1997 and 1996 were
principally associated with internal and external tooling costs, fiberglass and
plastics production equipment and information system purchases. Due to capital
spending limitations associated with the Industrial Development Revenue Bond
offering during fiscal 1995, all large equipment purchases and new computer
hardware and software systems in fiscal 1995 and 1996 were obtained through
operating leases. The total value of equipment leased during these periods was
$2,741. Purchases of property, plant and equipment in fiscal 1997 were $1,487,
which represented a $672 increase from fiscal 1996. This increase was due to the
fact that the Company did not enter into any operating leases during fiscal
1997.
During June 1996, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Innovative Accessories, Inc. ("Innovative"). From November 1995
until June 1996, the Company provided funds to Innovative totaling $2,230 to pay
off prior debts, reduce accounts payable, and fund working capital. In addition,
as part of the acquisition, the Company paid additional consideration and
transaction costs and will pay future royalty payments to the former Innovative
shareholders based upon future sales.
The Company expects future working capital requirements to be financed by
cash flow from operations and capital requirements to be financed or met through
operating leases or cash flow from operations.
CAPITAL:
During fiscal 1995, the Company entered into a long-term financing
agreement for the first time in its history. On September 1, 1994, the City of
Anoka, Minnesota offered a $5,450 series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
on behalf of Lund Industries, Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, with sequential annual maturities which began on September 1, 1995 and
will continue through 2004, bearing interest rates between 5.8% and 6.5%,
depending upon maturity. The proceeds were used to build the Company's new
facility and acquire production machinery and equipment.
Although the Company has no other long-term debt other than the Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds, the Company is prepared to utilize debt if necessary
to pursue an acquisition program. The Company believes its strong cash flow will
enable the Company to acquire sufficient capital to fund anticipated future
acquisitions which will be complementary to the Company's operating
philosophies.
Statements relating to future financial results, acquisitions, Company
operations, trends and market analysis, among others, are forward-looking
statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause results to differ
materially from those anticipated. Among the factors that could cause results to
differ materially are the following: consumer preference changes, adverse market
developments, inability to effectively carry out an acquisition strategy,
expansion into new distribution channels, additional delays in design,
development, testing or shipping of products, increased competition, general
economic developments and trends, developments and trends in the light truck and
automotive accessory market and increased costs. This is not an exhaustive list
and the Company may supplement this list in future filings or releases or in
connection with the making of forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lund International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures,
and distributes aftermarket automotive accessories for light duty trucks, sport
utility vehicles and vans. The following is a summary of the significant
accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated
financial statements:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lund
International Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lund Industries,
Incorporated; Lund Acquisition Corp.; and Lund FSC, Inc. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
by the first-in, first-out method. The Company has established a reserve to
record inventories at estimated net realized value. Inventory reserves are
determined based on the Company's continuing analysis of inventory levels in
excess of current requirements or considered to be obsolete.
TEMPORARY CASH INVESTMENTS
Temporary cash investments consist of money market funds and certificates of
deposit, which are stated at cost which approximates market. The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity
of three months or less to be temporary cash investments.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities consist of debt securities. Marketable securities are
classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are
excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity until realized. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to
earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product. The Company estimates and
records provisions for sales returns and allowances based on its historical
experience.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line or accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in operations for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is
charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
Costs for internally manufactured molds, tooling and dies relating to the
hand laid fiberglass product lines are expensed when incurred as their estimated
useful life is less than one year. Purchases of externally manufactured molds,
tooling and dies, and internally manufactured molds, tooling and dies related to
the plastics and automated close mold fiberglass product lines are capitalized
and amortized over the estimated life of the asset.
Long-lived assets are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
18
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES
Intangibles, consisting mainly of patents, non-compete agreements and
goodwill, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.
Costs incurred in applications for new patents and purchases of patents are
capitalized and amortized over the life of the patent. Costs for defending and
protecting Company patents are expensed when incurred. Goodwill is amortized
over twenty years.
The Company quarterly evaluates the recoverability of intangibles based on
analyses of estimated future undiscounted cash flows.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Income tax expense is the
tax payable for the period and the change in deferred income tax assets and
liabilities during the period.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
The Company warrants its products that have been properly installed according
to the instructions provided by the Company with a limited lifetime warranty
which covers actual product failure. The Company accrues a liability for
estimated warranty claims associated with products sold.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
stock options are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of this
computation.
In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS
No. 128), Earnings per Share (EPS) was issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board. This standard, which the Company must adopt effective with its
second quarter of fiscal year 1998, requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of earnings. Net income
per share currently presented by the Company is comparable to the diluted EPS
required under SFAS No. 128. Basic EPS for the Company will be calculated based
on only common shares outstanding without considering the dilutive effects of
common stock equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The
most significant areas which require the use of management's estimates relate to
allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory obsolescence and
accruals for warranty claims, customer rebates, and advertising.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1995 amounts to
conform to the 1997 presentation with no effect on previously reported net
income or stockholders' equity.
2. OTHER FINANCIAL STATEMENT DATA
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVERTISING
The Company expenses the production and space costs of advertising the first
time the advertising takes place, except for costs of direct response
advertising, product catalogs and brochures, which are capitalized and amortized
over the expected period of future benefits.
At June 30, 1997 and 1996, $159,659 and $257,153, respectively, of direct
response advertising costs, product catalogs, and brochures were reported as
other current assets, net of accumulated amortization. Advertising expense was
$2,738,285, $2,577,981, and $1,991,976 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company adopted Incentive Stock Option Plans (the "Plans") during 1989
and 1995. The Plans authorize grants of options to purchase up to 250,000 and
400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, respectively. The option prices
may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time the
option is granted. Options expire ten years after the date granted or on a prior
date as fixed by the Board of Directors or appropriate committee. Under the
Plans, the option may become exercisable at the date of grant or as determined
by the Board of Directors or appropriate committee.
Option activity is summarized as follows:

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 123
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, a standard of accounting and reporting
for stock-based compensation plans. The Company has adopted the standard in
1997. The Company has continued to measure compensation cost for its stock
option plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting it has historically
used and, therefore, the standard has no effect on the Company's operating
results.
Had the Company used the fair-value-based method of accounting for its stock
option plans beginning in 1996 and charged compensation cost against income over
the vesting period, net income and net income per share for 1997 and 1996 would
have been the following pro forma amounts:
1997 1996
---------- ----------
Net income:
As reported $2,195,734 $4,622,162
Pro forma 2,072,488 4,540,583
Net income per share:
As reported $ .50 $ 1.05
Pro forma .47 1.03
The pro forma information above only includes stock options granted in 1996 and
1997. Compensation under the fair-value-based method of accounting will increase
over the next few years as additional stock option grants are considered.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 1997 and
1996 was $5.02 and $6.84, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair
value of options was determined by using the fair value of each option grant on
the date of grant, utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the
following key assumptions:
1997 1996
------------ ------------
Risk-free interest rates 6.21% - 6.29% 5.84% - 6.42%
Expected life 4 years 4 years
Expected volatility 47.47% 47.47%
Expected dividends None None
RESTRICTED STOCK
During 1992, the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock to two key
employees. During 1993 and 1996, 18,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively,
were canceled. During 1994, the Company granted 20,000 shares of restricted
stock to a key employee. These restricted shares vest over a five-year period.
During 1995, the Company amended the restricted stock plan which resulted in
the issuance of 42,500 shares of previously granted but unissued shares of
restricted stock. These issued shares resulted in common stock and additional
paid-in capital which was offset by the unearned portion of the deferred
compensation. The deferred compensation is charged to stockholders' equity and
amortized to compensation expense over the remainder of the five-year vesting
period.
Amortization of the restricted stock's value (at the date of award) over the
vesting period resulted in compensation expense of approximately $68,520,
$70,380, and $90,624 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan covering substantially all
of its employees. The Company provides matching contributions in accordance with
the plan. The Company's contribution to the plan in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$93,227, $80,377, and $71,080, respectively.
10. ACQUISITION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During November 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to provide
working capital funds and to market products for Innovative Accessories, Inc.
("Innovative"). In connection with this agreement, the Company provided a
working capital note of $2,230,089.
During June 1996, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Innovative for a purchase price equal to the outstanding working
capital note of $2,230,089, additional consideration and transaction costs, and
future royalty payments to the former Innovative shareholders based upon future
sales of Innovative.
The cost in excess of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired, which consists principally of goodwill, was approximately $2,238,975.
The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting, and
Innovative's results have been included in the Company's operating results from
the date of acquisition. The acquisition is not significant to the Company's
overall results.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 9, 1997, Harvest Partners, Inc., a private investment firm,
purchased 38% of the Company from the Company's former Chairman of the Board and
his family.
