NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the
year ended December 31, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all domestic and international companies in which the Company has more than a
50% equity ownership. The Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates are
accounted for on the equity method. All significant inter-company items have
been eliminated.
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all
adjustments considered necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair
statement of the results of interim periods presented. The results of operations
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the entire year.
Where appropriate, certain amounts in 1997 have been reclassified to conform
with the 1998 presentation. Such reclassifications include amounts related to
the disposals of the Brake and Service Line business which have been accounted
for as discontinued operations and accordingly, their operating results are
segregated and reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which became effective in January of 1998. This statement requires the
presentation of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Accordingly, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income has been
included in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 6 (CONTINUED)
Under the terms of the $20,000,000 CDN credit agreement, the Company is required
to repay the loan with three equal annual installments of $2,000,000 CDN
beginning in 1998 with a final payment of $14,000,000 CDN due in 2002. Subject
to certain restrictions, the Company can make prepayments without premium. The
credit agreement has various interest rate options.
Under the terms of the unsecured note agreement with AlliedSignal the remaining
$5,000,000 is to be repaid in two equal annual installments of $2,000,000
beginning in September 1998 with a final payment of $1,000,000 due in 2000.
The Company acquired a 73.4% equity interest in Intermotor Holdings Limited
during 1996. Intermotor has various existing credit facilities which mature by
2003.
The purchase obligations, due under agreements with municipalities, mature in
annual installments through 2003, and are secured by certain property, plant,
and equipment.
Certain loan agreements contain restrictive covenants which require the
maintenance, on a quarterly basis, of minimum working capital and tangible net
worth, as defined, and limit, among other items, investments, indebtedness and
distributions for the payment of dividends and the acquisition of capital stock.
NOTE 7
In October 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell its Service Line
business to R & B, Inc. This anticipated transaction will involve the sale of
selected assets of Champ and APS Service Line and the Pik-A-Nut Fastener Line.
Closing on the sale, which is anticipated in mid-1998, is subject to reaching a
definitive Purchase Agreement.
On March 28, 1998, the Company completed the exchange of their Brake business
for the Moog Automotive Temperature Control business of Cooper Industries.
During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company provided for estimated
losses on the disposal of these discontinued operations, which included
anticipated operating losses prior to disposal.
These businesses have been classified as discontinued operations in the
accompanying financial statements and as such the operating losses associated
with these businesses have been applied against the provisions for operating
losses established during 1997.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the disposition of selected assets
of the Brake business and the acquisition of selected assets of Moog Automotive
Temperature Control business. These amounts have been estimated based upon
currently available information. Such information may be revised at a later date
based upon the completion of post closing audits by both parties.
NOTE 8
Other assets primarily consist of deferred new customer acquisition costs,
certain held-to-maturity securities, unamortized customer supply agreements,
equity in joint ventures and pension assets.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
As of March 31, 1998 the Company had stockholders' equity of $187,866,000 and
working capital of $189,797,000. The Company expects capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1998 to be approximately $14,000,000, primarily for new
machinery and equipment.
In the first quarter of 1998 the Company suspended the dividend due to losses
incurred in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company has also decided to omit the
dividend in the second quarter of 1998, believing that it would be prudent to
conserve cash. The reinstatement of the dividend in succeeding quarters of 1998
will be reviewed based upon achieving targeted financial results.
On March 30, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement for a new $108,500,000
short term bank facility. The committed revolving bank credit, which has been
syndicated to a group of six banks expires on November 30, 1998. Prior to the
expiration of this facility, it is the Company's intent to enter into a
multi-year committed bank credit facility to meet its working capital
requirements and to raise additional capital to fund the future growth
opportunities of the Company.
In March 1998, the Company completed the exchange of their Brake business for
the Moog Automotive Temperature Control business of Cooper Industries. The fair
value of the assets received in this exchange exceeded the fair value of the
assets disposed of by approximately $10,000,000 and results in an equal amount
payable to Cooper Industries. This amount will be paid as the Company sells the
acquired finished goods inventory to third parties. Cooper Industries will
retain title to approximately $15,000,000 of such inventory, however, such
interest will decrease as payments under the note are made. The completion of
this exchange had no effect on the results of operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 as it was completed on the final day of the period.
In addition, the Company received short-term financing of $22,500,000 from
Cooper Industries in April 1998 to fund part of the operations of the acquired
temperature control business for the first year. The repayment of the
$22,500,000 note payable is based on a proportional paydown formula related to
the banks paydown, under the new credit facility, with any outstanding balance
payable in July 1999.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, total debt increased by
$7,059,000. This increase was a direct result of the additional $10,000,000 note
entered into as part of the exchange of the Brake business, offset by
approximately $3,200,000 in long term debt payments made during the first
quarter. During the three month period ended March 31, 1998 accounts receivable
increased by $13,697,000 and inventories increased by $20,996,000. The increase
in accounts receivable is primarily due to receivables associated with increased
sales versus the fourth quarter of 1997. The inventory increase was a direct
result of the completion of the exchange of the Brake business for Moog
Automotive Temperature Control business.
INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 31, 1997.
- ---------------
Net sales for the current quarter decreased by $11,689,000 or 8.5% from the
comparable period in 1997 primarily due to sales declines throughout all
divisions. These declines reflect the general softness in sales across the
entire aftermarket industry combined with an unusually mild winter which
effected engine management sales and the elimination of a pre-season stocking
program which reduced volume within temperature control.
-10-
<PAGE>
INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- -----------------------------------------
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 31, 1997.
- ---------------
The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 1998 of 34.7% was well
ahead of the 31.6% achieved during the first quarter of 1997. This significant
increase was a direct result of improved operating efficiencies, continued
favorable material purchase costs and our cost reduction program implemented
early in 1998.
Selling, general and administrative (S.G. & A.) expenses decreased by $2,430,000
over the comparable quarter in 1997, however, as a percent of net sales
increased by eight tenths of a percentage point (29.8% versus 29.0% in 1997).
These fluctuations represent reductions in most areas of our businesses,
however, these reductions were out paced by declines in sales. As the year
progresses it is anticipated that the full effect of our cost reduction program
will take effect and that synergies will begin to develop as we consolidate the
Moog Automotive Temperature Control business within our existing temperature
control business.
Interest expense decreased by $156,000 as compared to 1997, due primarily to
lower average borrowings for the period offset slightly by higher average
interest rates.
Taxes based on earnings decreased by $271,000 as compared to 1997 (See note 4).
Income (loss) from discontinued operations improved as a direct result of
provisions established, in the prior year, as part of the loss on the disposal
of these businesses. The operating losses associated with these businesses for
the first quarter of 1998 were applied against these reserves and as such did
not effect net income for the period ended March 31, 1998.
