PART I
Item 1. Business
GENERAL
Edelbrock Corporation (the "Company") is one of America's leading
manufacturers and marketers of specialty performance automotive and motorcycle
aftermarket parts. The Company designs, manufacturers, distributes and markets a
wide range of high quality performance products, including intake manifolds,
carburetors, camshafts, cylinder heads, exhaust systems, shock absorbers and
other components designed for most domestic V8 and selected V6 engines. These
products are designed to enhance street, off-road, recreational and competition
vehicle performance through increased horsepower, torque and drivability. The
Company also designs and markets products to enhance engine and vehicle
appearance, such as chrome and polished aluminum air cleaners, valve covers and
breathers. In October 1994, the Company introduced performance aluminum cylinder
heads and intake manifolds for the Harley-Davidson Evolution engine which are
distributed and marketed through over 5,000 Harley-Davidson performance shops
nationwide. In March 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of QwikSilver II, Inc. of Apple Valley, California a manufacturer of aftermarket
Harley-Davidson and other motorcycle carburetors and air cleaners.
In May 1997, the Company entered the performance shock absorber market
for a range of all aftermarket applications with certain restrictions utilizing
RICOR Racing and Development, L.P.'s ("RICOR") patented "inertia sensitive
system." In connection therewith, the Company has entered into a royalty
agreement with RICOR and issued warrants to purchase common stock of the
Company. See Notes 5 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's business strategy is to capitalize on recognition of the
"Edelbrock" brand name and strong distribution network to expand its leading
position in the specialty performance automotive and motorcycle aftermarket
parts market. The Company plans to achieve its business objective by pursuing
the following business strategies:
- Broaden Application of Core Products.
- Expand Market Share in Compatible Product Lines.
- Expand Presence in Chain Stores.
- Introduce New Products.
- Expand Production Capacity.
- Reduce Manufacturing Costs through Vertical Integration and
Automation.
HISTORY
The Company was founded in 1938 in Los Angeles by O. Victor Edelbrock,
Sr. Mr. Edelbrock utilized his experience as a mechanic and a winning car racer
to design and produce manifolds and cylinder heads. Upon his father's death in
1962, O. Victor Edelbrock, Jr., also a racing enthusiast who began designing
manifolds in the 1960's, assumed his father's position as Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. In 1967, the Company moved its operations to El Segundo,
California. The Company continued designing and marketing new generations of
manifolds throughout the 1960's and 1970's. In the 1980's, the Company expanded
it product line to include camshaft kits, valve train parts, exhaust systems and
other performance components thus developing the "Total Power Package" line. In
1987, the Company moved to its present location in Torrance, California and in
1990 built its own sand-cast aluminum foundry in San Jacinto, California. In the
1990's, the Company has continued to expand its product lines to include
carburetors, aluminum cylinder heads, aluminum water pumps, fuel-injected
manifolds and aftermarket performance parts for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. In
1995, the Company completed the construction of a 37,000 square foot building in
Torrance, California to house its exhaust products division and a 15,000 square
foot facility to expand the Company's Foundry warehouse space in San Jacinto,
California. In late 1996, the Company completed construction of a 45,000 square
foot facility adjacent to its existing exhaust facility which is being utilized
primarily for the manufacture of shock absorbers, as well as to accommodate
additional corporate expansion including warehouse overflow. In May 1997, the
Company began production on a new line of performance aftermarket shock
absorbers.
In July 1997, the Company completed construction of a 12,000 and 15,000
square foot facility on Company owned property at its Foundry location in San
Jacinto, California. The 12,000 square foot facility is being utilized for
additional Foundry warehouse space and the 15,000 houses the Company's
"QwikSilver" motorcycle parts division, which was relocated from Apple Valley,
California.
In September 1998, the Company announced its intent to construct a
65,000 square foot distribution facility on Company-owned property adjacent to
its exhaust system and shock absorber production facility in Torrance,
California. The Company expects this facility to be fully operational in July
1999.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company seeks to develop new products to respond to consumer
demand, to increase performance characteristics of existing product lines and to
enter into new product lines. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and
1998 research and development expenditures totalled $2,227,000, $2,874,000 and
$2,972,000, respectively.
PRODUCTS
The Company offers over 1,800 performance automotive and motorcycle
aftermarket parts for street, offroad, recreational and competition use. The
Company's products are designed to enhance the engine's performance through
increased horsepower, torque and drivability primarily by improving induction of
fuel and air into and exhaust out of the engine. The Company also designs and
markets products to improve appearance.
The Company's present lines include, among other items, intake
manifolds, which accounted for 32%, 29% and 29% of the Company's revenues for
fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively and carburetors, which accounted
for 39%, 42% and 40% of the Company's revenue for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively. See "Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data" for the
Company's revenue, operating income and total assets for each of the last three
years.
DISTRIBUTION, SALES AND MARKETING
The Company has established a balanced nationwide distribution network,
which encompasses all the major channels of distribution. It is the Company's
policy to offer its products at the same price and under the same terms and
conditions in each of its channels of distribution. The Company's products are
sold in all 50 states and Canada, as well as to a lesser degree in Australia,
Europe, New Zealand and the Pacific Rim, and distributed through the following
channels:
- Retail Automotive Chain Stores.
- Mail Order Catalog Houses.
- Warehouse Distributors and Performance Specialty Dealers.
In addition to the foregoing channels of distribution, the Company
supplies select component parts to original equipment manufacturers, including
Ford Motor Company, Volvo-Penta of the Americas, Inc., General Motors
Corporation, and Mercruiser, Inc., a division of Brunswick Corporation. The
Company's aluminum foundry casts components for a variety of third-party
manufacturers.
The Company's sales are subject to seasonal variations. Customer orders
and sales are greatest in the second, third and fourth quarters of the Company's
fiscal year in anticipation of and during the spring and summer months.
Accordingly, revenues and operating income tend to be relatively higher in the
third and fourth fiscal quarters. This seasonality typically results in reduced
earnings for the Company's first and second fiscal quarters because a
significant portion of operating expenses are fixed throughout the fiscal year.
One customer, Auto Sales, Inc., accounted for 16.0% of the Company's
revenues for fiscal year 1998. For fiscal year 1997 three customers, Auto Sales,
Inc., Super Shops, Inc., and Auto Zone accounted for 12.9%, 11.7% and 11.4%,
respectively, of the Company's revenues. For fiscal year 1996, two customers,
Auto Sales, Inc. and Super Shops, Inc. accoumted for 16.0% and 12.7%
respectively, of the Company's revenues. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company.
MANUFACTURING
The Company conducts manufacturing operations in its Torrance,
California facilities and its aluminum foundry in San Jacinto, California. The
Company manufactures products such as manifolds, cylinder heads, water pumps,
shock absorbers and exhaust systems. Approximately 55% of the Company's revenues
for fiscal year 1998 were attributable to products which were manufactured by
third-party suppliers. Magneti Marelli, U.S.A., Inc. pursuant to an agreement
with the Company, supplied the Company with all of the carburetors which it
marketed in fiscal year 1998, representing approximately 40% of the Company's
revenue for that fiscal year. The agreement extends through 1999 and is
renewable at the option of the parties. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
COMPETITION
There is significant competition in the performance automotive and
motorcycle parts industries. The Company competes with other companies and
individuals in the manufacture and sale of performance automotive and motorcycle
parts. The Company competes with, among others, Weiand Automotive and Holley
Replacement Parts ("Holley") in the manifold market, Holley and Federal-Mogul
Corporation in the automotive carburetor market, Rancho Industries and Billstein
in the shock absorber
4
<PAGE> 5
market, Crane Cams and Competition Cams in the camshaft market, World Products
and TFS in the cylinder head market and Mr. Gasket, TransDapt and Moroso in the
specialty automotive accessories market. The Company competes primarily with S &
S Cycle, Incorporated and Mikuni of America in the motorcycle aftermarket. The
Company competes primarily on the basis of product quality and brand name
recognition, service and price. Some of the Company's competitors are
substantially larger and have greater financial resources than the Company.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
The Company owns over 40 trademarks and patents used in connection with
the marketing of the Company's products, including Edelbrock(R), Torker(R),
Torker II(R), Tunnel Ram(R), Signature Series(R), Performer Series(R),
QwikSilver II(R), Performer IAS(R) and Edelbrock Total Power Package(R). The
Company believes that its trademarks and patents and the associated recognition,
reputation and customer loyalty contribute to the success of the Company's
business operations. The Company possesses a number of United States and
international patents, including three United States patents relating to the
Company's manifolds, all of which also contribute to the success of the
Company's operations. The Company's patents expire between 1998 and 2013.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1998 the Company employed 563 persons in the operation
of its business. The Company believes that its ability to attract and retain
qualified management personnel and skilled production technicians and marketing
employees will be a key determinant of the Company's continued success. The
Company has not entered into any collective bargaining agreements with any
unions and believes that its overall relations with its employees are good.
Item 2. Properties
The Company owns its headquarters and manufacturing facilities located
in buildings of approximately 142,000, 45,000 and 37,000 square feet,
respectively, in Torrance, California, and three buildings for its Foundry
operations located in approximately 73,000, 15,000, and 12,000 square feet as
well as a 15,000 square foot facility for its Qwiksilver division in San
Jacinto, California. The 73,000 square foot facility and related land are
subject to a deed of trust which secures certain indebtedness incurred in
connection with the construction of the facility. See Note 3 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 1996, the Company completed construction of a new 45,000
square foot facility on Company owned property contiguous to its current exhaust
facility in Torrance, California. This facility is being utilized primarily for
the manufacture of performance aftermarket shock absorbers and to house
additional corporate expansion including warehouse overflow.
In July 1997, the Company completed construction of 12,000 and 15,000
square foot facilities on Company owned property at its Foundry location in San
Jacinto, California. The 12,000 square foot facility is being utilized for
additional Foundry warehouse space and the 15,000 square foot facility houses
the Company's QwikSilver division, which was relocated from Apple Valley,
California.
In September 1998, the Company announced its intent to construct a
65,000 square foot distribution facility on Company-owned property adjacent to
its exhaust system and shock absorber production facility. The Company expects
this facility to be fully operational in July 1999.
The Company believes that its existing facilities and those planned for the
current fiscal year are adequate to meet its current requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There is no material legal proceeding to which the Company is a party
or to which any of its properties are subject.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

motorcycles. The Company currently offers over 1,800 performance automotive and
motorcycle aftermarket parts for street, off-road, recreational and competition
use.
Product Mix
The Company manufactures its own products and purchases other products
designed to the Company's specifications from third-party manufacturers for
subsequent packaging and distribution to the Company's customers. Generally, the
Company can achieve a higher margin on those products, which it manufactures as
compared to those purchased from third-party manufacturers. Accordingly, the
Company's results of operations in any given period are affected by product mix.
For example, in recent years, the Company has experienced significant growth in
the sale of carburetors, which it has purchased pursuant to a long-term contract
with a third-party manufacturer.
Product Concentration
Historically, the Company has derived a substantial portion of its
revenues from the sale of intake manifolds and carburetors. For the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1996, 1997, and 1998 approximately 32%, 29%, and 29% of revenues
were derived from the sales of intake manifolds and 39%, 42%, and 40% from the
sales of carburetors, respectively.
Manufacturing Capacity
During the most recent peak manufacturing period, the Company used
substantially all of its manufacturing capability for producing its specialty
performance automotive and motorcycle aftermarket parts.
In December 1996, the Company completed construction of a new 45,000
square foot facility on Company owned property contiguous to its current Exhaust
facility in Torrance, California. This facility is being utilized primarily for
the manufacture of performance aftermarket shock absorbers and to house
additional corporate expansion including warehouse overflow.
In July 1997, the Company completed construction of 12,000 and 15,000
square foot facilities on Company owned property at its Foundry location in San
Jacinto, California. The 12,000 square foot facility is being utilized for
additional Foundry warehouse space and the 15,000 square foot facility houses
the Company's QwikSilver division, which was relocated from Apple Valley,
California.
In September 1998, the Company announced its intent to construct a
65,000 square foot distribution facility on Company-owned property adjacent to
its exhaust system and shock absorber production facility in Torrance,
California. The Company expects this facility to be fully operational in July
1999.
Seasonality
The Company's sales are subject to seasonal variations. Customer orders
and sales are greatest in the second, third and fourth quarters of the Company's
fiscal year in anticipation of and during the spring and summer months.
Accordingly, revenues and operating income tend to be relatively higher in the
third and fourth fiscal quarters. This seasonality typically results in reduced
earnings for the Company's first and second fiscal quarters because a
significant portion of operating expenses is fixed throughout the fiscal year.

FISCAL YEAR 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1997
Revenues
Revenues increased 9.6% to $95.5 million in fiscal year 1998 from $87.1
million in fiscal year 1997. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase in volume of approximately $5.1 million or 16.2% in the sale of
carburetors, an increase of $2.0 million or 32.1% in the sale of aluminum
cylinder heads and an increase of $2.8 million or 11.4 % in the sale of intake
manifolds.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 10.1% to $57.4 million in fiscal year 1998 from
$52.2 million in fiscal year 1997. As a percent of revenues, cost of sales
increased to 60.1% in fiscal year 1998 from 59.9% in fiscal year 1997. The
increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in sales which
included a change in product mix toward lower margin products, partially offset
by improved production efficiencies associated with the introduction of
high-tech machining centers used in the production of manifolds, cylinder heads
and water pumps.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14.0% to $24.3
million in fiscal year 1998 from to $21.3 million in fiscal year 1997. This
increase resulted primarily from the Company's depreciation and related
expenditures in connection with the implementation of a state-of-the-art Oracle
database system, company-wide development of QS 9000 quality standard and
increased advertising expense, sales commissions and salaries associated with
increased sales. As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 25.4% in fiscal year 1998 from 24.5% in fiscal year 1997.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased 3.4% to $3.0 million in
fiscal year 1998 from $2.9 million in fiscal year 1997. As a percent of revenue,
research and development expense decreased to 3.1% in fiscal year 1998 from 3.3%
in fiscal year 1997. The Company plans on continuing to expand its research and
development program, but through improved efficiency, expenditures may decrease
as a percent of revenue in the future.
Provision for Uncollectible Receivable
In December 1997, the Company wrote-off approximately $1.9 million of
unsecured trade receivables relating to Super Shops, Inc., which filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code and further obtained court approval in February 1998 to begin a "Going Out
of Business Sale" under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The Company
provided for this loss during the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased 16.8% to $9.0 million in fiscal year 1998
from $10.8 million in fiscal year 1997. This decrease was a result of the $1.9
million pre-tax charge against earnings to offset unsecured Super Shops, Inc.
trade receivables and the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 20.9% to $269,000 in fiscal year 1998 from
$340,000 in fiscal 1997. This decrease was primarily due to retirement of debt
and a decrease in the principal amount of average debt outstanding.
Interest Income
Interest income increased 29.3% to $410,000 in fiscal year 1998 from
$317,000 in fiscal year 1997. This increase was the result of interest earned on
invested cash.
Taxes on Income
The provision of income taxes decreased $772,000 to $3,304,000 in
fiscal year 1998 from $4,076,000 in fiscal year 1997. The effective tax rate for
both periods was 36.3%.
Net Income
The Company's net income decreased 18.8% for fiscal year 1998 to $5.8
million in fiscal 1998 from $7.1 million in fiscal year 1997. This decrease was
primarily due to the items mentioned above.

FISCAL YEAR 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1996
Revenues
Revenues increased 10.2% to $87.1 million in fiscal year 1997 from
$79.0 million in fiscal year 1996. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase in volume of approximately $5.8 million, or 18.6%, in the sale of
carburetors, an increase of $1.7 million, or 38.0%, in the sale of aluminum
cylinder heads, and an increase of $600,000, or 34.4%, in the sale of
performance aftermarket parts for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 10.9% to $52.2 million in fiscal year 1997 from
$47.0 million in fiscal year 1996. As a percent of revenues, cost of sales
increased to 59.9% in fiscal year 1997 from 59.5% in fiscal year 1996. The
increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in sales which
included a change in product mix toward third-party manufactured products,
partially offset by improved production efficiencies associated with the
introduction of high-tech machining centers used in the production of manifolds,
cylinder heads and water pumps.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.5% to $21.3
million in fiscal year 1997 from $20.4 million in fiscal year 1996. This
increase was primarily due to increased advertising expense, sales commissions
and salaries associated with increased sales. As a percent of sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 24.5% in fiscal year 1997 from
25.8% in fiscal year 1996.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased 29.1% to $2.9 million in
fiscal year 1997 from $2.2 million in fiscal year 1996. As a percent of revenue,
research and development expense increased to 3.3% in fiscal year 1997 from 2.8%
in fiscal year 1996, primarily as a result of increased expenditures relating to
the development of performance aftermarket shock absorbers.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 15.0% to $10.8 million in fiscal year 1997
from $9.4 million in fiscal year 1996. This increase was a result of the items
mentioned above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 1.2% to $340,000 in fiscal year 1997 from
$344,000 in fiscal year 1996, primarily as a result of a decrease in average
debt outstanding.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased 39.4% to $317,000 in fiscal year 1997 from
$523,000 in fiscal year 1996. This decrease was the result of a decrease in the
balance of invested funds raised from the Company's initial public offering.
Other Income
During fiscal year 1997, the Company sold a piece of property that
resulted in a $274,000 pre-tax gain. Additionally, one of the partnerships in
which the Company holds a 50% interest sold a portion of its real estate, which
resulted in a $192,000 pretax gain.
Taxes on Income
The provision for taxes on income increased $730,000 to $4.1 million in
fiscal year 1997 from $3.3 million in fiscal year 1996. The effective tax rate
increased to 36.3% in fiscal year 1997 from 34.1% in fiscal year 1996 as a
result of a decrease in available capital expenditures relating to state income
tax credits.
Net Income
The Company's net income increased 10.3% to $7.1 million in fiscal 1997
from $6.5 million in fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily due to the items
mentioned above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding
of its seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures. Historically,
the Company has met these liquidity requirements through cash flow generated
from operating activities and with borrowed funds under the Company's $2.0
million revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"). Due to the
seasonal demand for the Company's products, the Company builds inventory during
the Company's first fiscal quarter in advance of the typically stronger selling
periods during the Company's second, third and fourth fiscal quarters.
The Revolving Credit Facility consists of an unsecured line of credit
agreement with one bank, which provides a total loan commitment not to exceed
$2.0 million, all of which was available to the Company as of September 25,
1998. The line of credit borrowings are at the applicable bank's base rate (8.5%
at June 30, 1998). The line of credit agreement expires on February 1, 1999.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain customary
restrictive financial requirements. The Company has been and is in compliance
with all such financial covenants as of September 25, 1998.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.2 million, $9.9
million and $7.0 million in fiscal years 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively.
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, more funds from operating
activities are generated in its third and fourth fiscal quarters. During fiscal
year 1998, the Company paid down $1.0 million on its long-term debt which
primarily represents one principal payment on its Industrial Development Bond
(see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Accounts payable increased $1.3 million for fiscal year 1998 compared
to fiscal year 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in payment terms from a
principal supplier and costs associated with the initial production of shock
absorbers. Income taxes payable decreased by $12,000 primarily as a result of a
decrease in income before taxes.
Accounts receivable increased by $1.3 million for fiscal year 1998
compared to fiscal year 1997, while sales increased $8.4 million for fiscal year
1998 compared to fiscal year 1997. The increase in accounts receivable in fiscal
year 1998 was primarily due to the timing of payments from customers in
connection with the Company's dating programs and increased sales.
Inventories increased $3.7 million primarily as a result of initial raw
material purchases relating to the Company's introduction of performance
aftermarket shock absorbers and an overall increase in inventory levels relating
to increased sales.
The Company's total capital expenditures were $4.3 million in fiscal
year 1996, $8.6 million in fiscal year 1997 and $8.1 million in fiscal year
1998. The $8.1 million of capital expenditures for fiscal year 1998 included the
purchase of computerized machining centers and costs associated with the
enhancement of the shock absorber facility and the purchase and implementation
of the Company's new accounting software. The Company anticipates making capital
expenditures of $6.5 - $8.0 million in fiscal year 1999 primarily for the
construction of its new distribution facility, and additional capital equipment
to increase the Company's production capacity.
The Company believes that funds generated from operations and funds
available under the Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet its
working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements through
fiscal 1999.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Computers, software and other equipment utilizing microprocessors that
use only two digits to identify a year in a date field may be unable to process
accurately certain date-based information at or after the year 2000. This is
commonly referred to as the "Year 2000 issue," and the Company is addressing
this issue on several different fronts. First, the Company has requested Year
2000 compliance certification from each of its major vendors and suppliers for
their hardware or software products and for their internal business applications
and processes. Second, the Company has established a separate team to coordinate
solutions to the Year 2000 issue for its own internal information systems, with
a goal of having all of its internal systems Year 2000 compliant by the end of
1998, although no assurances are made that this goal will be met. As part of its
initial phase of its Year 2000 readiness, the Company installed Oracle
applications and database. In order to complete the Year 2000 readiness program
for it's information systems, the Company will upgrade to release 10.7 of the
Oracle applications. The Company has spent approximately $1.6 million to date on
hardware, software and labor to achieve Year 2000 readiness and does not
anticipate that additional amounts incurred in connections with Year 2000
compliance program will be material to its financial condition or results of
operations. The Company does not believe that its business will be adversely
affected by the Year 2000 issue in any material respect. Nevertheless, achieving
Year 2000 compliance is dependent on many factors, some of which are not
completely within the Company's control, including without limitation, the
availability and cost of trained personnel and effectiveness of software
upgrades used by the Company and its vendors and suppliers. Should either the
Company's internal systems or the internal systems of one or more significant
vendors or suppliers fail to achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's
business and its results of operations could be adversely affected.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure" is effective for financial statement
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The new standard reinstates various
disclosure requirements previously in effect under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15, which has been superseded by SFAS No. 128. The adoption of SFAS
No. 129 had no effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operation.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" is effective for financial statements with fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. SFAS No.
130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 130 to have a material effect,
if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" is effective for financial
statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The new standard
requires that public business enterprises report certain information about
operating segments in complete sets of financial statements of the enterprise
and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders.
It also requires that public business enterprises report certain information
about their products and services, geographic areas in which they operate and
their major customers. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 131
to have a material effect, if any, on its results of operations.
INFLATION
General inflation over the last three years has not had a material
effect on the Company's cost of doing business and it is not expected to have a
material effect in the foreseeable future.
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995: Any statements set forth above which are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include such
factors as the financial strength and competitive pricing environment of the
automotive and motorcycle aftermarket industries, product demand, market
acceptance, manufacturing efficiencies, new product development, the success of
planned advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns, the success of the
Company's, its vendors', and its suppliers' Year 2000 compliance programs and
other risks identified herein and in other documents filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
The Company's exposure to interest rate changes is primarily related to its
variable rate debt which may be outstanding from time to time under the
Company's Revolving Credit Facility with Bank of America, NT&SA. The Company's
Revolving Credit Facility is a $2 million line of credit with an interest rate
based on the prime rate (currently 8.5%). It expires on February 1, 1999.
Because the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is variable, the
Company's cash flow may be affected by increases in the prime rate. Management
does not, however, believe that any risk inherent in the variable-rate nature of
the loan is likely to have a material effect on the Company. As of the end of
fiscal 1998 and as of September 25, 1998, the Company's outstanding balance on
the Revolving Credit Facility was zero. Even if the Company were to draw down on
the line prior to its expiration and an unpredicted increase in the prime rate
occurred, it would not be likely to have a material effect.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS. To assess exposure to interest rate changes, the
Company has performed a sensitivity analysis assuming the Company had $1 million
balance outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit. The monthly interest
payment, if the rate stayed constant, would be $7,083. If the prime rate rose
100 basis points, the monthly interest payment would equal $7,916. The Company
does not believe the risk resulting from such fluctuations is material nor that
the payment required would have material effect on cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Edelbrock Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Edelbrock
Corporation as of June 30, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years
in the three year period ended June 30, 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 from
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 the overall presentation of the
financial statements. 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 financial position of Edelbrock
Corporation at June 30, 1997 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended June 30, 1998,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

EDELBROCK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Edelbrock Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Edelbrock Foundry Corp.
and Edelbrock II, Inc. (collectively "the Company") are engaged in the design,
manufacture, distribution and marketing of performance automotive and motorcycle
aftermarket parts.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edelbrock
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company also has investments
in various real estate partnerships. These investments are accounted for using
the equity method of accounting.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities,
revenues, and expenses at the date and for the periods that the financial
statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished
goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed,
primarily utilizing the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Estimated
Useful Life*
(in years)
----------
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements 7-40
Machinery and equipment 3-7
Office equipment 5
Furniture and fixtures 7
Transportation equipment 3-10
</TABLE>
*The average life more closely reflects the high end of the range.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and real estate properties,
are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that they carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any
such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.
No impairment losses have been recorded through June 30, 1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products.
Taxes on Income
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." SFAS 109 requires that the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in a Company's financial statements or tax return. Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts for income tax purposes using enacted tax rates in effect in the
years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts
receivable.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with various financial
institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one
financial institution. The Company believes that no significant credit risk
exists as these investments are made with high-credit-quality financial
institutions.
The Company's business activities and accounts receivable are with customers in
the automotive and motorcycle industries located primarily throughout the United
States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
maintains allowances for potential credit losses totaling $300,000 at June 30,
1997 and $500,000 at June 30,1998.
Fair Value
The Company has cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable for
which the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on the market
values of financial instruments with similar terms. Management believes that the
fair value of the long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
As of July 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), which
establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation
plans. In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has chosen to continue to
account for stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method
prescribed in APB 25. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is
measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock
at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Also, in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has provided footnote disclosure
with respect to stock-based employee compensation. The cost of stock-based
compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and
recognizes this cost over the service period. The value of the stock-based award
is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of
the fair market value of the stock as determined by the model at grant date or
other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the
stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure" is effective for financial statement periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The new standard reinstates various disclosure
requirements previously in effect under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
15, which has been superseded by SFAS No. 128. The adoption of SFAS No. 129 had
no effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 130 to have a material effect, if any, on its
financial position or results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" is effective for financial statements
with fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1997. The new standard requires
that public business enterprises report certain information about operating
segments in complete sets of financial statements of the enterprise and in
condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. It
also requires that public business enterprises report certain information about
their products and services, geographic areas in which they operate and their
major customers. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 131 to
have a material effect, if any, on its results of operations.

Earnings Per Share Information
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings per Share," in fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. This pronouncement
provides a different method of calculating earnings per share than was used in
accordance with APB 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 provides for the
calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is
calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per
share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming
conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. All historical
earnings per share data have been restated to conform to this presentation.
Below is the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS
Royalty Agreement
In February 1996, the Company entered into a Royalty Agreement with RICOR Racing
and Development L.P. ("RICOR") whereby the Company will pay RICOR a percentage
of revenue derived from the sale of shock absorbers based on the following:

</TABLE>
Royalty expense under this agreement amounted to $12,000 for fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997 and $381,000 for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. There was no
expense incurred during 1996.
Retirement Plans
An employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") was established July 1, 1979 covering
substantially all employees of Edelbrock Corporation who have attained one year
of service. The minimum annual contribution is 1% of the total salaries or wages
of plan participants and may be supplemented with additional amounts at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. During fiscal year 1997, Edelbrock
Corporation established a 401(k) defined contribution plan to enhance the
existing ESOP for participating employees. The Company intends to match 50% of a
certain portion of participants' contribution to this plan. The maximum annual
contribution for both plans cannot exceed 25% of the total salaries or wages of
the plan participants. Contributions to the ESOP amounted to $513,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1996 and $513,000 for both plans for the years ended June
30, 1997 and 1998.
Edelbrock Foundry Corp. maintains a defined contribution profit sharing plan
(the "Plan") covering substantially all employees who have attained one year of
service. Contributions to the Plan are at the discretion of the Company's Board
of Directors; however, contributions cannot exceed 15% of the total salaries or
wages of the plan participants. During fiscal year 1997, Edelbrock Foundry Corp.
established a 401(k) defined contribution plan to enhance the existing plan for
participating employees. The Company intends to match 50% of a certain portion
of participants' contribution to this plan. Contributions to the Plan amounted
to $55,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 and $55,000 for both plans for the
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998.
The Company had accrued contributions of $568,000 and $527,000 at June 30, 1997
and 1998, respectively.
Employment Agreements
The Company has an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive
Officer for a term expiring on June 30, 1999. The agreement provides for a base
salary of $300,000 per year, with an annual raise and bonus to be determined by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based on such factors as
the performance of the officer and the financial results of the Company. Upon
termination of the officer's employment during the term of the agreement for any
reason other than "cause," death or voluntary termination, the Company will be
obligated to make a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to the then
current annual base compensation plus an amount equal to the bonus paid the year
prior to such termination.
The Company also has similar employment agreements with two other officers, each
having a term expiring on June 30, 1999. Pursuant to these employment
agreements, the two officers are entitled to an aggregate base salary of
$415,000. Each officer is entitled to an annual bonus to be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based on such factors as the
performance of the officer and the financial results of the Company.

NOTE 6 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS
For the year ended June 30, 1996 two customers accounted for 12.7% and 16% or
revenues. For the year ended June 30, 1997, two customers accounted for 11.7%
and 12.9% of revenues. During fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 one customer
accounted for 16.0% of revenues.
NOTE 7 - DEPENDENCE ON KEY SUPPLIER
The Company has entered into an agreement expiring in 1999 with a key supplier
that requires, among other things, that (i) the Company sell only carburetors
manufactured by the supplier, (ii) the Company purchase a minimum number of
carburetors from the supplier and (iii) the Company prices the carburetors so as
to remain market competitive. The Company's minimum obligation under this
agreement aggregates $55,616,000, or $13,904,000 each calendar year. These
carburetors accounted for 40% of the Company's revenues for the year ended June
30, 1998. Any failure of the supplier to supply carburetors to the Company would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, since
alternative sources for obtaining the types of carburetors marketed by the
Company are not readily available. The Company's inability to source supply with
other manufacturers, the Company's failure to sell carburetors in excess of the
minimum purchase requirement or the contractual limitations on the Company's
pricing of carburetors could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
1994 Incentive Equity Plan
The Company adopted the Edelbrock Corporation 1994 Incentive Equity Plan (the
"Plan") that authorizes the granting of options to purchase shares of Common
Stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, deferred shares,
performance shares and performance units. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock transferred, plus the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
outstanding awards granted under the Plan, shall not, in the aggregate exceed
562,500. The stock options have been granted at the current quoted market price
at the date of grant.

1994 Stock Option Plan For Non-Employee Directors
Additionally, the Company adopted the Edelbrock Corporation 1994 Stock Option
Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Director Plan"), which authorizes the granting
of non qualified stock options to certain non-employee directors of the Company.
The maximum number of shares granted under the Director Plan shall not exceed
25,000 shares of Common Stock. Initial grants of options under the Director Plan
totaled 14,000, three grants of 3,500 shares each were granted at the initial
offering price of $12.50 per share and one grant of 3,500 shares was granted at
a price of $12.75 per share.
Stock Warrants
On February 2, 1996 the Company issued Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock at $14.75 per share to RICOR Racing and Development L.P. The
Warrants were granted at the current quoted market price at the date of grant.
The Warrants vest 20% on December 31 of each year for a period of five years
with the first 20% vesting on December 31, 1996.
The Warrants expire on February 2, 2006.
Stock - Based Compensation
FASB Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the
Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per
share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been
determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in FASB
Statement 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the
grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998:
dividend yield of zero percent, risk-free interest rate of 6 percent, expected
lives of ten years, and expected volatility of 8.11 and 9.27 respectively. Under
the accounting provisions of FASB Statement 123, the Company's net income and
income per share for 1997 and 1998 would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:
