NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Table of Contents



(1)
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrant, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s 2012 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Registrant as of September 30, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

(2)
Business Combinations

On September 27, 2013, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Johnson Controls, Inc. (the “Seller”) related to the Seller’s wireless vehicle/home communication HomeLink® business (the “Business”). Prior to the above-described acquisition, the Seller supplied HomeLink products and was a licensor of HomeLink to the Company, which allowed for incorporation into the Company’s rearview mirror products, that are installed in automobiles. The aggregate purchase price for the Business (the “Purchase Price”) paid at the closing was approximately $700 million, subject to adjustments as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and the Seller, dated July 18, 2013.

The HomeLink acquisition was done to secure the Company’s current customers and product offerings in HomeLink mirrors and to enable and expand its capabilities beyond the mirror. Even prior to the acquisition the Company offered HomeLink mirrors as part of its existing product portfolio. HomeLink mirror products have been sold by the Company in the marketplace for over 10 years, where the Company was previously a licensee of the technology. After the acquisition, there are certain synergies the Company hopes to capitalize upon. There is significant value in the HomeLink brand, including consumer awareness when shopping for new automobiles equipped with the feature. The acquisition enables the Company to continue its long history of development and growth of the Homelink mirror based products, as well as to add HomeLink products that are not based in the mirror. The Company believes it will be able to apply its expertise in electronics manufacturing to enhance even further the quality and reliability of the HomeLink products.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. There were no revenues or earnings, related to the Business, for the quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2013, included in the the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The operating results for the Business will be included in Automotive Products segment in future periods, consistent with the Company's treatment of other features.

Separate from the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Seller and the Company have entered into a Supply Agreement, in the ordinary course of business, whereby the Company agrees to supply HomeLink product to the Seller for incorporation into the Seller’s vehicular products. The Supply Agreement contains customary terms and conditions which are consistent with market rates for sales of similar products to other parties. Due to the nature of the Supply Agreement and the fact that terms are at arms length, there has not been a portion of the purchase price which has been allocated to the Supply Agreement.

The Company funded the transaction using a combination of cash on hand of approximately $423 million and debt financing. The Company’s debt financing included net proceeds from the Company’s new Credit Agreement as described in Footnote 10.

Table of Contents


Through September 30, 2013, the Company has incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $3,121,000 of which approximately $2,167,000 has been expensed as incurred in the "Selling, general & administrative" section of its Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. The remaining costs of approximately $954,000, were related to the issuance of the Company's new debt financing, further explained in Note 10, which has been classified in the "Prepaid Expenses and Other" section of its' Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be amortized over the life of the credit agreement.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price through September 30, 2013 is as follows:

Management preliminarily assigned fair values to the identifiable intangible assets through a combination of the relief from royalty and the excess earnings methods.The allocation of the purchase price above is considered preliminary and was based upon valuation information available and estimates and assumptions made as of September 30, 2013. The Company is still in the process of verifying data and finalizing information related to the valuation and recording of identifiable intangible assets, net working capital,and the resulting effects on the amount of recorded goodwill. The Company expects to finalize these matters within the measurement period, which is currently expected to remain open through the first quarter of calendar 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 include pro-forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013. This unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results which would have actually been attained had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013 or that may be attained in the future.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-12”).  ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  However, the amended guidance requires an entity to provide information regarding the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The amended guidance was effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  ASU 2013-02 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.


(4)
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company recorded Goodwill of $337.6 million, which is based on preliminary valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the HomeLink acquisition. The amount of Goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $337.6 million.


The Intangible assets as of September 30, 2013 consist of the following:

The Homelink Trade Name and Trademarks were valued utilizing the relief from royalty valuation method, which is a function of projected revenue, the royalty rate that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of an asset to an unrelated licensee discounted utilizing market participants weighted average cost of capital. The royalty rate utilized in the analysis was a combination of the historical royalty rate that was paid by the Company to the Seller for the right to use the HomeLink name in the market and the manufacturing of products using HomeLink's propietary technology, as well as other market transactions within the industry. Further, the royalty rate made considerations for factors such as age, market competition, absolute and relative profitability, market share and prevailing rates from similar assets. The discount rate applied was based on the weighted average cost of capital.

The HomeLink Technology and the Existing Customer Platform assets were valued using forms of the multi-period excess earnings valuation method which estimates future revenues and cash flows derived from the technology, and then subsequently deducts portions of future cash flow that is supported by other intangibles and fixed assets. The resulting cash flows are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital.

The Exclusive Licensing Agreement asset was valued based on a "with or without" methodology. This method compares the Company's estimated future cash flow projections with the exclusive agreement compared to those same cash flows without that exclusive license agreement.

As the valuation methodologies for the aforementioned intangible assets utilize unobservable inputs, the Company considers the estimated fair value of the assets to be a level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

There was no amortization expense related to the above identified intangible assets during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, due to the timing of the closing of the acquisition.

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, including existing and newly acquired intangible assets as part of the HomeLink acquisition, is estimated to be approximately $7.6 million. Amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is estimated to be approximately $20.8 million per year, based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

Investments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for its financial assets and liabilities, and to its non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases, require estimates of fair-market value. This standard also expanded financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair-value measurements, including the effect of such measure on earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The Company’s investment securities (common stocks and mutual funds) are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, and as such are classified as Level 1 assets. The Company determines the fair value of its U.S. Treasury Notes, Government Securities and Corporate Bonds by utilizing monthly valuation statements that are provided by its broker, and the Company utilizes third party pricing sources to validate such statements. The broker determines the investment valuation by utilizing the bid price in the market. As such, these investments are classified as Level 2 assets.

ASC 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, as amended, provides guidance on determining when an investment is other than temporarily impaired. The Company reviews its fixed income and equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. No equity investment losses were considered to be other than temporary at September 30, 2013.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
At September 30, 2013, the Company had four equity incentive plans which include two stock option plans, a restricted stock plan and an employee stock purchase plan, each of which has been approved by shareholders. Readers should refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2012, for additional information related to these stock-based compensation plans.
The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based payments of $3,795,626 and $10,529,514 for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory as of September 30, 2013, was $203,872.
Employee Stock Option Plan
The fair value of each option grant in the employee stock option plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:

(4)
Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

Under the plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after two to seven years.

As of September 30, 2013, there was $23,234,157 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods.

Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan
As of September 30, 2013, there was $96,540 of unrecognized compensation cost under the plan related to share-based payments. The Company has granted options on 84,000 shares under the director plan through September 30, 2013. Under the plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on the date of grant. The options vest after six months, and expire after ten years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2013, the 2013 Gentex Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan covering 1,000,000 shares of common stock, was approved by shareholders replacing a prior plan. Under the plan, the Company sells shares at 85% of the stock’s market price at date of purchase. Under ASC 718, the 15% discounted value is recognized as compensation expense.

Restricted Stock Plan
The Company has a restricted stock plan covering 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the plan is to permit grants of shares, subject to restrictions, to key employees of the Company as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period.

The restriction period is determined by the Compensation Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceed ten years under the terms of the plan. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $9,867,574 associated with these restricted stock grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Amortization expense from restricted stock grants in the three and and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $654,683 and $1,998,750, respectively.

Debt and Financing Arrangements

On September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain banks and agents.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is borrower under a $150,000,000 senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $150,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is entitled, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to further request an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000. In addition, the Company is entitled,

GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Table of Contents

subject to certain terms and conditions, to the benefit of swing loans from amounts otherwise available under the Revolving Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000 and to request Letters of Credit from amounts otherwise available under the Revolving Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000. The obligations of the Company under the Credit agreement are not secured, but are subject to certain covenants (see below).

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swing loans, under the Credit Agreement will be, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate for one, two, three or six-month interest periods chosen by the Company, plus an applicable margin percentage. The base rate will be the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the agent’s prime rate or (iii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The LIBOR rate will be equal to the London interbank offered rates for U.S. Dollars quoted by Bloomberg or the appropriate successor, divided by a number equal to 1 minus the maximum percentage in effect on such day for determining reserve requirements, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The applicable margin percentage is based on the leverage ratio of the Company. The range of the applicable margin percentage is 1.00% per annum to 1.75% per annum in the case of the LIBOR rate and 0.00% per annum to 0.75% per annum in the case of the base rate.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company is borrowing funds using the one month LIBOR option, and based on the Company's leverage ratio as of September 30, 2013, the interest rate on it's borrowings is equal to 1.18%.

The Revolving Facility expires and the Term Loan matures on September 27, 2018.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of certain assets; (iv) make certain investments; (v) incur or suffer to exists liens securing indebtedness; (vi) dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge or wind-up its affairs; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (viii) make certain other negative pledges. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that limit capital expenditures in any fiscal year and that measure (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness net of certain cash to the amount of the Company’s consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Deprectiation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s cash interest expense. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default.

In connection with the business combination discussed more fully in Note 2, the Company borrowed $275 million related to the Credit Agreement, which was broken down further into $125 million under the revolving facility and $150 million on the term loan. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had availability of $25 million under the Credit Agreement (not including additional aggregate principal amounts which can be requested).

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement.

(11)
Equity

The increase in common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was primarily due to the issuance of 1,654,477 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The Company announced a $0.01 per share increase in its quarterly cash dividend rate during the first quarter of 2013, which resulted in a recorded cash dividend of $0.14 per share in the first, second and third quarters of 2013. The third quarter dividend of $20.3 million was declared on August 20, 2013, and was paid on October 18, 2013.

(14)    Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 31.5% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 32.1% for same period of 2012. The effective tax rate was 31.7% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 32.5% for the same period of 2012. Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to realized benefits of approximately $1 million from the filing of an amended federal tax return for 2009, specifically related to increased Research & Development tax credits.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

THIRD QUARTER 2013 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 2012

Net Sales. Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $20.4 million or 8% when compared with the third quarter of 2012.
Automotive net sales increased 7% to $280.9 million, compared with automotive net sales of $261.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, driven by a 13% increase in automotive mirror unit shipments, which was partially offset by shifts in product mix and annual customer price reductions. North American automotive mirror unit shipments increased 6% to 2.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased penetration of the Company's exterior auto-dimming mirrors, in conjunction with a 7% increase in North American light vehicle production. International automotive mirror unit shipments increased 18% compared with the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased penetration of the Company's interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors, despite a decline of 1% in European light vehicle production and only a 3% increase in light vehicle production in the Japan/Korea region compared with the same quarter last year.

The below table represents the Company's auto dimming mirror unit shipments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. (in thousands)

Other net sales, which include fire protection products and dimmable aircraft windows, were $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, up 21% compared with $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to increases in shipments of dimmable aircraft windows.

Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 63.3% for the third quarter of 2013 versus 66.4% in the same quarter of last year, primarily due to improvements in purchasing cost reductions and product mix. Each of the positive factors is estimated to have impacted cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales by approximately 125 basis points, with the balance of the improvement being a combination of smaller factors including improved manufacturing efficiencies.
 
Operating Expenses. Engineering, research and development (E, R & D) expenses for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 6% or $1.3 million when compared with the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to reduced costs associated with outside contract engineering/development services. Selling, general and administrative (S, G & A) expenses increased 9% or $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, primarily due

18

Table of Contents

to increased professional fees and due diligence costs associated with the previously announced acquisition of HomeLink. S, G&A expenses were 4.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2013.
Total Other Income & Expense. Total other income for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $3.3 million when compared with the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased realized gains on the sale of equity investments. There was no interest expense recorded related to the Company's new borrowings, in the third quarter of 2013, as the Credit Agreement was signed at the end of the most recently completed quarter.
Taxes. The provision for income taxes varied from the statutory rate for the most recently completed quarter, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction as well as realized benefits of approximately $1 million from the filing of an amended federal tax return for 2009, specifically related to increased Research & Development tax credits.
Net Income. Net income for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $13.6 million or 33% when compared with the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to increases in sales and operating margin.
    
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
Net Sales. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $5.9 million or 0.7% when compared with the same period in 2012.
Automotive net sales for the nine months ended September 30 2013, were $823.7 million, which were essentially flat when compared with automotive net sales of $822.4 million for the first nine months of 2012, which was impacted primarily by shifts in product mix and annual customer price reductions, partially offset by an 8% increase in automotive mirror unit shipments. North American automotive mirror unit shipments for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 6% compared with the same period last year, primarily due to increased penetration of the Company's exterior auto-dimming mirrors, as well as a 5% period over period increase in North American light vehicle production. International automotive mirror unit shipments increased 9% in the first nine months of 2013 compared with the same period last year, primarily due to increased penetration of both interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors despite a period over period decrease in European and Japanese/Korean light vehicle production of 2% and 4%, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold for the first nine months of 2013 declined to 64.3%, from 66.2% in the same period last year, primarily due to improvements in purchasing cost reductions and product mix. Each of the positive factors is estimated to have impacted cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales by approximately 75 basis points, with the balance of the improvement being a combination of smaller factors including improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Operating Expenses. E, R & D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 15% or $9.8 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to reduced costs associated with outside contract engineering/development services. S, G & A expenses decreased 1% or $0.3 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to reduced expenses in the Company's overseas offices, offset by increased professional fees and due diligence costs associated with the acquisition of HomeLink.
Total Other Income. Total other income for for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $4.3 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to increased realized gains on sales of equity investments.
Taxes. The provision for income taxes varied from the statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction as well as realized benefits of approximately $1 million from the filing of an amended federal tax return for 2009, specifically related to increased Research & Development tax credits.
Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $24.1 million or 19% to $153.0 million versus $129.0 million in the same period last year, primarily due to increased sales and operating margins.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013 were $226.7 million, which was a decrease of approximately $163.0 million compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to cash used for the previously announced Homelink acquisition, partially offset by proceeds from new debt financing as well as cash flow from operations.
Short-term investments as of September 30, 2013 decreased from $60.8 million as of December 31, 2012 to $0 due to maturities and liquidations of the company’s short term investment portfolio in preparation for the HomeLink acquisition.
Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013 increased approximately $42.9 million compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to the higher sequential sales level as well as acquired receivables in the HomeLink acquisition.
Inventories as of September 30, 2013 decreased approximately $42.5 million when compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to reductions in raw materials inventory.

Goodwill as of September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $337.7 million due to the goodwill acquired related to HomeLink acquisition, explained further in Notes 2 and 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Patents and Other Assets increased approximately $341.0 million. This increase is due to the recording of intangible assets acquired during the Homelink acquisition explained further in Notes 2 and 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Long-term investments as of September 30, 2013 decreased approximately $27.6 million compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to realized gains on sales of equity investments that were not re-invested due to HomeLink acquisition, partially offset by an increase in unrealized gains in equity investments as a result of current market conditions.
Accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2013 increased approximately $25.5 million compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to increased accrued taxes and compensation, reflecting the timing of certain tax and compensation payments, as well as the current portion of the Company’s new debt financing of which the current portion is $7.5 million.
Long term debt as of September 30, 2013 increased by $267.5 million compared to December 31, 2012, due to the Company's new debt financing as a result of the HomeLink acquisition, explained further in Note 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.
Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, increased $47.2 million to $223.7 million, compared with $176.4 million, during the same period last year, primarily due to changes in working capital.
Cash flow used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $552.8 million to $626.6 million, compared with $73.8 million, during the same period last year, primarily due to the HomeLink acquisition. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were approximately $38.0 million, compared with approximately $97.6 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a reduction in production equipment purchases and building related costs.
Cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, increased $319.4 million to $240.0 million, primarily due to proceeds from borrowings on the Company's new debt financing, discussed further in Note 10 to the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company previously announced a facility expansion plan for a 120,000 square-foot expansion project connecting two of its manufacturing facilities in Zeeland, Michigan, which has been completed, with a total cost of approximately $22 million. The Company is expected to incur approximately $3 million in additional building-related costs to bring certain manufacturing and lab functions online within this facility, for a total expected cost of $25 million, which is expected to be completed by December 31, 2013.
The Company also previously announced a facility expansion plan for a 10,000 square-foot facility to centralize the production and distribution of chilled water that is used in production, chemical labs, as well

20

Table of Contents

as air conditioning. The facility expansion has been completed and is in production. Total costs for this facility were approximately $11 million.
The Company incurred approximately $31 million in facility related costs pertaining to the above projects through September 30, 2013.
After the above facility expansion projects are completed, the Company estimates that it will have building capacity to manufacture approximately 21-23 million interior mirror units annually and approximately 10 million exterior mirror units annually, based in each case on current product mix.
The Company believes its existing and planned facilities are suitable, adequate, and have the capacity necessary for current and near-term planned business. However, the Company continues to evaluate longer-term facility needs to support demand for its products and has historically expanded facility capacity on a step-function basis to accommodate its needs for several years.
Management considers the Company’s current working capital and long-term investments, as well as the new debt financing arrangement (not withstanding its prohibitions on incurring additional indebtedness), discussed further in Note 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements, in addition to internally generated cash flow to be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future considering it's contractual obligations and commitments.

BUSINESS UPDATE

As previously announced, the Company completed the acquisition of HomeLink on September 27th 2013. The integration of the HomeLink business will occur over the next 12 to 18 months. Many factors, though not currently expected, could introduce additional risks to the business including customer approvals and support that, if not received, could have a negative impact to the Company and its future performance. Examples of risk associated with customer support and approvals are in the areas of manufacturing changes, purchase order changes, freight and logistics changes, sourcing awards for new and replacement programs and quality approvals and sign-offs.  In addition, the Company will face risks in regards to its ability to own and operate all facets of the business, including support from suppliers and compatibility partners, manufacturing skills, equipment and know-how, capacity constraints, electronic ordering systems, inventory levels, shipping and logistics systems, and invoicing/payment systems.  Moreover, there are inherent business risks associated with disruptive technologies, consumer preference changes, macro-economic impacts and customer business relationships that could have a negative impact on the previously provided financial guidance associated with the HomeLink acquisition.  

The Company continues in development and launch of new awarded business in all product technology areas, including HomeLink, compass, microphones, telematics, displays, SmartBeam and driver assist camera systems, interior lighting, and inside and outside mirrors with frameless and various curved glass applications.

The Company continues to experience significant pricing pressure from its automotive customers and competitors which will continue to affect its profit margins. This challenge requires the Company to work to offset these price reductions with engineering and purchasing cost reductions, productivity improvements, and increases in unit sales volume.

Automakers continue to experience volatility and uncertainty in executing planned new programs, which result in delays or cancellations of new vehicle platforms, package configurations, and inaccurate volume forecasts. This challenge makes it difficult for the Company to forecast future sales and manage costs, inventory, capital, engineering, research and development, and human resource investments.

The automotive industry continues to be cyclical and highly impacted by levels of economic activity, and the current economic environment continues to be uncertain. This challenge stresses the Company with volatile customer orders, automaker plant shutdowns, supplier material cost fluctuation, supplier part shortages, and consumer vehicle feature preference changes. Because the Company sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, and automotive manufacturing is highly dependent on economic conditions, the Company can be affected by uncertain economic conditions that can reduce demand for its products.

The uncertain economic environment can also affect the automotive industry in the sale or bankruptcy of customer businesses. Should any of the Company's customers, including Tier 1 suppliers, sell their business or declare bankruptcy, it could adversely affect the collection of receivables, product planning and business with that customer.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, requiring transparency and accountability concerning the use of conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic Of Congo and adjoining countries, affects the Company with due diligence efforts in 2013 and with disclosure requirements beginning May, 2014. The implementation of the applicable rules could affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in the Company's products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering "conflict free" minerals, the Company cannot be sure that it will be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, the Company may face reputational challenges if it is determined that certain of the Company's products contain minerals not determined to be "conflict free" or if the Company is unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in its products through the procedures that may be implemented.

The Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007 (KTSA), indicating a requirement that new vehicles be equipped with a rear video camera and a rear video display, has had implementation delays multiple times. The KTSA indication that rear video would be required along with implementation

22

Table of Contents

delays has increased competition for systems capable of rear video in a variety of locations in the vehicle. The Company's Rear Camera Display mirror application has been affected by this increased competition and may continue to be in the future.

The European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) provides an incentive for automobiles sold in Europe to apply safety technologies that include camera based driver assist features such as lane detection, vehicle detection, and pedestrian detection as standard equipment. Euro NCAP compliant camera based driver assist systems are also capable of including high beam assist as a function. The increased application of Euro NCAP on European vehicles could potentially replace the Company's SmartBeam application on these vehicles.
The Company previously announced that it was providing variably dimmable windows for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner series of aircraft as well as the Beechcraft King Air 350i aircraft. The Company continued to ship parts for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Series of Aircraft and the King Air 350i airplane in low volume. The Company continues to work with aircraft manufacturers that have an interest in this technology regarding potential additional programs.

The Company believes that its patents and trade secrets provide it with a competitive advantage in automotive rearview mirrors and in other parts of the vehicle with it's newly acquired HomeLink portfolio. Claims of patent infringement can be costly and time-consuming to address. To that end, the Company obtains intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business to strengthen its intellectual property portfolio to minimize the risk of infringement.

The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its consolidated financial statements.

OUTLOOK:

The Company utilizes the light vehicle production forecasting services of IHS Worldwide. The IHS October forecast for light vehicle production for the fourth quarter of 2013 are 4.05 million units for North America, 4.69 million units for Europe, and 3.46 million units for Japan and Korea. The IHS October forecast for light vehicle production for calendar year 2013 are 16.2 million units for North America, 19.0 million units for Europe, and 13.4 million units for Japan and Korea.

Based on the IHS October 2013 forecast for the fourth quarter of 2013, as well as the estimated option rates for the Company’s mirrors on vehicle models, anticipated product mix including HomeLink products, and the Company's 12-week customer release schedule, the Company estimates that net sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 will increase 20 to 25% compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company also estimates gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 to be in the range of 38% - 38.5%, based on the October 2013 IHS production forecast and current forecasted product mix.

E,R&D expense in the fourth quarter of 2013 is estimated to increase 5% - 10% compared with E, R&D in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to the increased staffing levels that have occurred throughout 2013, which continue to support growth and development of existing business as well as personnel additions that were part of the HomeLink acquisition.

S, G&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2013 is estimated to increase 15% - 20% compared with S, G&A in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased amortization of the HomeLink acquired assets as well as personnel additions that were part of the HomeLink acquisition. This estimate is based on stable foreign exchange rates.

The Company continues to estimate that capital expenditures for 2013 will be approximately $50 - $60 million.

The Company currently estimates that depreciation and amortization expense for the full year to be in the range of $60 - $64 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements contained in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company’s estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions (see in particular Goodwill and Intangible assets below).
The Company has identified critical accounting policies used in determining estimates and assumptions in the amounts reported in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Management believes there have been no significant changes in those existing critical accounting policies during the most recently completed quarter, however since the completion of the HomeLink acquisition, management believes there are additional critical accounting policies which have been and will be considered by the Company currently and on a prospective basis.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

Goodwill represents the excess of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. In accordance with accounting guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company tests for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the fourth quarter and in certain situations between those annual dates, if interim indicators of impairment arise. Indefinite-lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, by comparing the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying value using a discounted cash flow approach. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful life, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Management will periodically assess the amortization period of intangible assets with definite lives based upon estimated future cash flows from related operations and tests for impairment when indicators arise.

Given the timing of the acquisition, no impairment indicators arose during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which would give reason for an interim test to be performed on goodwill or intangible assets. Inherent in the calculation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are various estimates. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective, and actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. If the Company’s ongoing estimates of future cash flows are not met, the Company may have to record impairment charges in future accounting periods.

Item 3.
Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying correlations and volatilities, including foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk. Volatile equity markets could negatively impact the Company's financial performance due to realized losses on the sale of equity investments and/or recognized losses due to other-than-temporary impairment adjustment on available for sale securities (mark-to-market adjustments). During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there are no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, except as set forth in Item 2.
The Company has some assets, liabilities and operations outside the United States, including euro-denominated accounts, which currently are not significant overall to the Company as a whole. Because the Company sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, and automotive manufacturing is highly dependent on general economic conditions, the Company could be affected by uncertain economic conditions in foreign markets that can reduce demand for its products.



Item 4.
Controls And Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision of, and with the participation of management, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2013, and have concluded that as of that date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
