NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Proliance International, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20062007 including the audited financial statements and notes thereto included therein.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three and nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The balance sheet information as of Decemb er 31, 2007 was derived from the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

Note 2 — Southaven Event and Related Liquidity Issues

On February 5, 2008, the Company’s central distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi sustained significant damage as a result of strong storms and tornadoes (the ‘‘Southaven Casualty Event’’). During the storm, a significant portion of the Company’s automotive and light truck heat exchange inventory was also destroyed. While the Company does have insurance covering damage to the facility and its contents, as well as any business interruption losses, up to $80 million, this incident has had a significant impact on the Company’s short term cash flow as the Company’s lenders would not give credit to the insurance proceeds in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) by and among the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time (collective ly, ‘‘the Lenders’’), Silver Point Finance, LLC (‘‘Silver Point’’), as administrative agent for the Lenders, collateral agent and as lead arranger, and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England) (‘‘Wachovia’’), as borrowing base agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the damage to the inventory and fixed assets resulted in a significant reduction in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, because the Borrowing Base definition excludes the damaged assets without giving effect to the related insurance proceeds. In order to provide access to funds to rebuild and purchase inventory damaged by the Southaven Casualty Event, the Company entered into a Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement on March 12, 2008 (see Note 4). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Lenders have agreed to temporarily increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolvin g B Commitments available to the Company from $25 million to $40 million. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lenders have agreed to permit the Company to borrow funds in excess of the available amounts under the Borrowing Base definition in an amount not to exceed $26 million. The Company is required to reduce this ‘‘Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount’’, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to zero by May 31, 2008. The Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount of $26 million was reduced to $24.2 million in the Third Amendment of the Credit Agreement (see Note 4), which was signed on March 26, 2008. The Company believes that it will be able to achieve the Borrowing Base Overadvance reduction by the May 31, 2008 date through a plan which utilizes a combination of (i) operating results, (ii) working capital management and (iii) insurance proceeds, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount as required by the Credit Agreement. The Company is working with its insurance company through the claims process and received a $10 million preliminary advance during the first quarter of 2008, which was used to reduce



Table of Contents

obligations under the Company’s credit facility and a second preliminary advance of $11 million in April 2008 (see Note 14). The Company’s insurance policy covers losses of property and from business interruption up to $80 million, which the Company believes, should provide more than sufficient coverage with respect to the damages arising from the Southaven Casualty Event. The Company is also continuing to work toward raising a combination of $30 million or more in debt and/or equity to reduce or possibly replace its current Credit Agreement and to provide additional working capital. The Company believes that any such financing will not occur until after May 31, 2008. Jefferies & Company, Inc. has been hired to assist the Company in obtaining new debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds from the plans noted above or that further Lender accommodations would be available, on acceptable terms or at all, if the Company fails to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2008.

If the Company is unable to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2008, the Company will be in violation of a covenant in the Credit Agreement and will be required to negotiate a waiver to cure the default. If the Company were unable to successfully resolve the default with the Lenders, the entire amount of any indebtedness under the Credit Agreement at that time could become due and payable at the Lender’s discretion. This results in uncertainties concerning the Company’s ability to retire the debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As a result of the uncertainty concerning the Company’s ability to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2008, the auditor’s opinion for the year ended December 31, 2007 included an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2008, the insurance claim receivable, net of amounts received, of $20.8 million included $25.6 million which represents the estimated recovery on inventory damaged in the Southaven Casualty Event, $2.7 million which represents the estimated recovery on damaged fixed assets and $2.5 million of incremental costs for travel, product procurement and reclamation and other items resulting from the tornado. The Company believes these amounts are reimbursable under the terms of its insurance coverage. The Company received a $10.0 million advance from the insurance company during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 against its insurance claim, which proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under the Credit Facility. The insurance claim receivable is classified as other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Note 14 for a discussion of the second preliminary insurance advance in the amount of $11.0 million which was received on April 11, 2008. The Company continues to work with the insurance company through the claims process and expects to receive additional advances in the future. The current insurance receivable balance for the most part, does not include any recovery of claims for business interruption and certain Southaven Casualty Event related expenses that are currently still under review by the insurance company. The Company’s insurance policy covers losses of property and from business interruption up to $80 million, which the Company believes, should provide more than sufficient coverage with respect to the damages arising from the Southaven Casualty Event.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, is a $2.1 million credit resulting from the Southaven Casualty Event reflecting a gain on the disposal of racking of $1.6 million, as the insurance recovery was in excess of the damaged assets net book value and a $1.1 million gain resulting from the recovery of margin on a portion of the destroyed inventory, which was offset in part by expenses of $0.6 million incurred as a result of the tornadoes which will not be reclassified to the insurance receivable until it is assured that they are recoverable. The Company has not yet recorded any recovery under the business interruption coverage of the insurance policy or other claims still under review by the insurance company as those amounts are not yet determinable.

Short-term foreign debt, at September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, represents borrowings by the Company’s NRF subsidiary in The Netherlands under its available credit facility. At September 30, 2007, $6.0As of March 31, 2008, $2.2 million was borrowed at a Euro equivalent at an annual interest rate of 5.414%5.3% and $1.3 million was borrowed at 5.2%.

New Credit Agreement

Effective July 19, 2007,At March 31, 2008 under the Company entered into aCompany’s Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) by and among the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, ‘‘the Lenders’’), Silver Point Finance, LLC (‘‘Silver Point’’), as administrative agent for the Lenders, collateral agent and as lead arranger, and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England) (‘‘Wachovia’’), as borrowing base agent.



Tableagent, $21.4 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility at an interest rate of Contents14.0% and $43.9 million was outstanding under the term loan at an interest rate of 12.0%. As a result of the uncertainties concerning the Company’s ability to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to zero by May 31, 2008 (see No te 2), the outstanding term loan of $43.9 million at March 31, 2008 and $49.6 million at December 31, 2007 have been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2008.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as required by the Credit Agreement, the term loan was reduced by $4.6 million from the receipt of insurance proceeds associated with the Southaven Casualty Event, by $0.1 million from the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and by $1.0 million from the receipt of proceeds from the sale of an unused facility in Emporia, Kansas. As a result of the term loan reduction from the receipt of the insurance proceeds, the Company incurred a prepayment premium, as required by the Credit Agreement, of $0.4 million, which amount is included in debt extinguishment costs. In addition, due to the prepayment of the term loan, $0.2 million of the deferred debt costs have also been expensed as debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

On March 12, 2008, the Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement (the ‘‘Second Amendment’’) was signed. Pursuant to the Agreement,Second Amendment, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Lenders have agreed to extend certain credit facilities (the ‘‘Facilities’’) totemporarily increase the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million, consisting of (a) $50 million aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans, (b) up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving A Commitments (including a $7.5 million letter of credit subfacility), and (c) up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving B Commitments. Availability under the Revolving Commitments is determined by referenceavailable to a borrowing base formula. The Tranche A Term Loans and any Revolving Loans are due and the commitments terminate on the five-year anniversary of the closing. Subject to customary exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect to borrow at a per annum Base Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus 375 basis point s or a per annum LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus 475 basis points. The proceeds from the borrowings under the Agreement at closing on July 19, 2007 were used to repay all Company indebtedness under the Company’s Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 28, 2007 (the ‘‘Wachovia Agreement’’), with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England), formerly known as Congress Financial Corporation (New England), as agent, and fees and expenses related thereto. The Facilities are available on an ongoing basis for general working capital needs. As with the prior Wachovia Agreement, all borrowings under the new loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (including a pledge of 65% of the shares of the Company’s NRF and Mexican subsidiaries). The Agreement provides call protection to the Lenders (subject to certain exceptions) by way of the lesser of a make-whole amount and prepayment premium rangin g from 5% to 3% to 1%, respectively, of outstanding loans prepaid over years 2, 3, and 4. Mandatory prepayments in year 1 are subject to such make-whole amount (subject to certain exceptions). Voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans are first applied to the Revolving A Loans outstanding. While voluntary prepayments of the Tranche A Term Loan are permitted after year 1, resulting availability must be at least $5 million. The Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the loans with the proceeds of issuances of debt and equity of the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as an annual 75% excess cash flow sweep (subject to availability minimums) (in each of the foregoing cases, the proceeds of which are applied first, to the Tranche A Term Loans, second, to the Revolving A Loans and third, to the Revolving B Loans) and in respect of asset sales and following the incurrence of debt from the Lenders at its NRF subsidiary.

Holders of Tranche A Term Loans may waive their mandatory prepayment right, in which case such proceeds will be applied pro rata to the remaining holders of the Tranche A Term Loans.

Borrowings under the Agreement as of September 30, 2007 included a $14.2 million revolving credit obligation at an interest rate of 10.11% per annum and a term loan of $50.0 million at an interest rate of 10.125% per annum. The term loan is payable in full on July 19, 2012.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants for financing transactions of this nature (including, without limitation, covenants in respect of financial and other reporting and a covenant to hedge interest in respect of up to $25 million principal of the Tranche A Term Loan for up to two years), negative covenants (including limitation on debt, liens, restricted payments, investments, sale-leaseback transactions), fundamental changes (including an annual $10 million limit on asset sales), affiliate transactions (including prohibition on transfers of assets to subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors of the Facilities) and events of default (including any pledge of assets of NRF or its subsidiaries or any change of control).

The Agreement also has quarterly and annual financial covenants relating to leverage, capital expenditures, EBITDA and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Certain of these financial covenants are tested on a consolidated basis, as well as in respect of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and a Mexican subsidiary and in respect of its European operations on a stand alone basis.

liquidity allowed the Company to restore its operations in Southaven, Mississippi that were severely damaged by two tornadoes on February 5, 2008 (the ‘‘Southaven Casualty Event’’). The Company believes it has adequate insurance for the Southaven Casualty Event, including coverage for all inventory and fixed assets that were damaged. Under the Credit Agreement, provides customary taxthe damage to the inventory and fixed assets resulted in a dramatic reduction in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, because the Borrowing Base definition excludes the damaged assets without giving effect to the related insurance proceeds. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lenders agreed to permit the Company to borrow funds in excess of the available amounts under the Borrowing Base definition in an amount not to exceed $26 million. The Company is required to reduce this ‘‘Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount’’, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to zero by May 31, 2008 and intends to do so, in part as it receives insurance proceeds relating to the Southaven Casualty Event, in accordance with the Second Amendment. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company is working to strengthen its capital structure by raising additional capital which it now believes will not occur until after May 31, 2008. The Company has hired Jefferies & Company, Inc. to assist it in obtaining such capital.

As previously reported, a number of Events of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, had occurred and were continuing relating to, among other indemnitiesthings, the Southaven Casualty Event. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lenders waived such Events of Default including a waiver of the 2007 covenant violations, effective as of the Second Amendment date, resulting in the elimination of the 2% default interest, which had been charged effective November 30, 2007. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, $0.3 million of default interest was included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Consistent with current market conditions for similar borrowings, the Second Amendment increased the interest rate the Company must pay on its outstanding indebtedness to the Lenders to the greater of (i) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as welldefined in the Second Amendment, plus 8%, or (ii) 12%, for LIBOR borrowings, or the great er of (x) the Adjusted Base Rate, as a guaranty of all obligations ofdefined in the Second Amendment, plus 7%, or (y) 14%, for Base Rate borrowings.

On January 19, 2007, the Company amended the Credit Facility pursuant to a Seventeenth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the ‘‘Seventeenth Amendment’’). The Seventeenth Amendment, which was effective as of January 19, 2007, reduced the amount of Minimum Excess Availability which the Company was required to maintain from $5.0 million to $2.5 million from and after January 19, 2007.

Among other financial covenants, the Third Amendment adjusted financial covenants relating to leverage, capital expenditures, consolidated EBITDA, and the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. These covenant adjustments reset the covenants under the Credit Agreement in light of, $8.0 million.

The Term B loan was to be repaid in twenty-two consecutive monthly installments of $167 thousand commencing on October 1, 2007 with the remaining balance paid on July 21, 2009.

The Wachovia Agreement also established minimum EBITDA for the Company’s NRF subsidiary, unless there was excess availability of $15.0 mi llion, for the following twelve-month periods: December 31, 2006-$4.5 million; March 31, 2007-$4.9 million; June 30, 2007-$5.2 million; September 30, 2007-$5.2 million and December 31, 2007-$5.5$24.2 million. The WachoviaCompany intends to reduce this ‘‘Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount’’, as defined in the Credit Agreement, did not affect the amountto zero by May 31, 2008 through a plan which utilizes a combination of minimum excess availability that the Company was required to maintain. The Company was not in compliance with the EBITDA and fixed charge ratio covenants as of June 30, 2007; however, these were cured when the outstanding debt under the Wachovia Agreement was paid in full on July 19, 2007.

The Third Amendment also provided the Company with a waiver for the default resulting from the explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2007 concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, as contemplated by the Second Amendment, on March 26, 2008 the Company issued warrants to purchase up to the aggregate amount of 1,988,072 shares of Company common stock (representing 9.99% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis) to two affiliates of Silver Point (collectively, the ‘‘Warrants’’). Warrants to purchase 993,040 shares are subject to cancellation if the Company raises $30 million asof debt extinguishment costs duringor equity capital pursuant to documents in form and substance satisfactory to Silver Point on or prior to May 31, 2008. While the third quarterCompany continues to work toward raising a combination of 2007. This reflected the write-off of$30 million or more in debt and/or equity, it now believes that any such financing will not occur until after May 31, 2008. The Warrants were sold in a portionprivate placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to two accredited investors. To reflect the iss uance of the Warrants, the Company recorded additional paid-in capital and deferred debt costs associated withof $3.0 million.

The increase in deferred debt costs ($1.0 million) will be amortized over the liferemaining term of the newoutstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Warrants have a term of seven years from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to 85% of the lowest average dollar volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to exercise commencing 90 trading days prior to March 12, 2008 and ending 180 trading days after March 12, 2008. The Warrants contain a ‘‘full ratchet’’ anti-dilution provision providing for adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares underlying the Warrants in the event of certain share issuances below the exercise price of the Warrants; provided that the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants is subject to limitations under applicable American Stock Exchange rules (the ‘‘20% Issuance Cap’’). If the anti-dilution provisions would require the issuance of shares above the 20% Issuance Cap, the Company would provide a cash payment in lieu of the shares in excess of the 20% Issuance Cap. The Warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision. In the event of a change of control or similar transaction (i) the Company has the right to redeem the Warrants for cash at a price based upon a formula set forth in the Warrants and (ii) under certain circumstances, the Warrant holders have a right to require the Company to purchase the Warrants for cash during the 90 day period following the change of control at a price based upon a formula set forth in the Warrants.

In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, the Company entered into a Warrantholder Rights Agreement dated March 26, 2008 (the ‘‘Warrantholder Rights Agreement’’) containing customary representations and warranties. The Warrantholder Rights Agreement also provides the Warrant holders with a preemptive right to purchase any preferred stock the Company may issue prior to December 31, 2008 that is not convertible into common stock.

On April 21, 2008, a Form S-3 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the resale of 2,584,494 shares of common stoc k issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Registration Rights Agreement also requires payments to be made by the Company under specified circumstances if (i) a registration statement was not filed on or before April 25, 2008, (ii) the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to June 24, 2008, (iii) after its effective date, such registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective and available to the holders subject to certain grace periods, or (iv) the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

As a result of the $3.0 million fee paid at the time of the Second Amendment, the $3.0 million fair value of the Warrants, and other legal and professional costs associated with the Second and Third Amendments, the deferred debt costs, included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, increased to $10.3 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2007.

The headcount reductions, during the first nine months of 2007, in the United States resultedAnnual savings from the elimination of 67 salaried positions in order to lower operating overhead, while reductions at the Company’s Mexican manufacturing facilities resulted from the elimination of 111 positions, as a result of production cutbacks reflecting the conversion from copper/brass to aluminum construction and the Company’s efforts to lower inventory levels.

In addition, these restructuring charges include a number of immediate actions to change the Company’s ‘‘go-to-market’’ strategy through its branch operations, which would further reduce branch operating costs while also enhancing the Company’s capability to more efficiently service its local customers. These actions are expected to increaseexceed the restructuring costs for 2007 by $3 million to $4 million, resulting in total restructuring costs between $5 million and $7 million, which includes the previously announced range of $2 million to $3 million. The Company expects to complete most of the indicated actions by the end of 2007. Restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $1.9 million were part of these ne w strategic actions.

This results in a reduction of branch and agency locations to 47. These actions will include the sale of selected assets at the branch locations during the fourth quarter of 2007 and are expected to result in the Company incurring between $0.5 million and $0.7 million of net cash restructuring costs, consisting of $0.1 million to $0.2 million of employee related restructuring costs and between $0.4 million and $0.5 million of branch closure restructuring and related costs during the fourth quarter of 2007.incurred.

Note 89Arbitration Earn-Out DecisionGain on Sale of Building

Background.    Pursuant to an AgreementIncluded in selling, general and Plan of Merger, dated July 23, 1998 (the ‘‘Agreement’’) among Proliance International, Inc., EI Acquisition Corp., EVAP, Inc., and Paul S. Wilhide, Proliance (through an acquisition subsidiary) acquired from Mr. Wilhide all of the common stock of EVAP. The consideration for this transaction was a payment of $3.0 million in cash, the issuance of 30,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of Proliance (the ‘‘Series B Preferred Stock’’) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $3.0 million, and the potential for an ‘‘earn-out’’ to Mr. Wilhide based on a calculation re lating to EVAP’s financial performance during the years 1999 and 2000 that would, in whole or in part, take the form of an increaseadministrative expenses in the liquidation preferencecondensed consolidated statement of the Series B Preferred Stock. There was a dispute between Proliance and Mr. Wilhide relating to the calculation of the earn-out. Mr. Wilhide claimed that the value of his earn-out was $3.75 million, while Proliance claimed that Mr. Wilhide was not entitled to any earn-out. An arbitration concerning the appropriate earn-out was held in early 2007 before a representative of Ernst & Young’s Dallas, Texas office.

Arbitrator Decision.    On June 29, 2007, the arbitrator notified the parties that it had determined that Mr. Wilhide was entitled to an earn-out of $3.2 million. In accordance with the Agreement, this earn-out has been paid by increasing the liquidation preference of the 12,781 remaining outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by Mr. Wilhide, after prior conversions, from $100.00 per share (representing an aggregate liquidation preference of $1.3 million) to $348.3727 per share (or an aggregate liquidation preference of $4.5 million).

Waiver of Conversion Cap.    Under Section 3(b) of Proliance’s Certificate of Designations of Series B Preferred Stock (i) the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Proliance common stock based upon the liquidation preference of the shares being converted divided by the market value of Proliance common stock at the time of conversion, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Proliance common stock to be issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock may not exceed 7% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion (the ‘‘Conversion Cap’’), unless Proliance waives such Conversion Cap. On June 27, 2007, Proliance, by action of its Boa rd of Directors, waived the Conversion Cap.

Financial Impact.    As a result of the waiver of the Conversion Cap described above, the full amount of the earn-out determined to be payable by the arbitrator has been paid in additional liquidation preference on the Series B Preferred Stock (or ultimately in shares of Proliance common stock upon Mr. Wilhide’s conversion of his shares of Series B Preferred Stock), and no portion of that amount was paid by Proliance in cash. In addition, Mr. Wilhide was entitled to payment in cash of dividends he would have received on his Series B Preferred Stock as if the earn-out took place in April 2000. These additional dividends, plus interest and an increased cash bonus payment due to Mr. Wilhide, required Proliance to pay Mr . Wilhide in cash the sum of $1.3 million in July 2007. The earn-out of $3.1 million and the interest on unpaid dividends of $0.2 million and bonus payment of $28 thousand have been charged to operating results during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Asacquired in the Modine Aftermarket merger in 2005. This facility had been written down to a zero net book value as part of its decision, the arbitrator required Mr. Wilhide to reimburse Proliance for arbitration expenses in the amount of $0.2 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The Company designs, manufactures andand/or markets radiators, radiator cores, heater cores and complete heaters, temperature control parts (including condensers, compressors, accumulators and evaporators) and other heat exchange products for the automotive and light truck aftermarket. In addition, the Company designs, manufactures and distributes radiators, radiator cores, charge air coolers, charge air cooler cores, oil coolers, marine coolers and other specialty heat exchangers for the heavy duty aftermarket.

The Company is organized into two segments based upon the geographic area served – Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes heat exchange, temperature control and heavy duty product sales to customers located in the United States and Canada, while the International segment includes heat exchange, heavy duty including marine and to a lesser extent, temperature control product sales to customers located in Mexico, Europe and Central America. Management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based upon operating income (loss) before taxes as well as cash flow from operations which reflects operating results and asset management.

In order to evaluate market trends and changes, management utilizes a variety of economic and industry data including miles driven by vehicles, average age of vehicles, gasoline usage and pricing and automotive and light truck vehicle population data. In addition, Class 7 and 8 truck production data and industrial and off-highway equipment production data are also utilized.

Management looks to grow the business through a combination of internal growth, including the addition of new customers and new products, and strategic acquisitions or partnerships.acquisitions. On February 1, 2005, the Company announced that it had signed definitive agreements, subject to customary closing conditions including shareholders’ approval, providing for the merger of Modine Aftermarket into the Company and Modine’s acquisition of the Company’s Heavy Duty OEM business unit. The merger with the Aftermarket business of Modine which was completed on July 22, 2005,2005. The transaction provided the Company with additional manufacturing and distribution locations in the U.S., Europe, Mexico and Central America. In conjunction withThe Company is now focused predominantly on supplying heating and cooling components and systems to the automotive and heavy duty aftermarkets in North and Central America and Europe.

Since the Modine Aftermarket merger in 2005, the Company undertookhas undertaken a $14 millionseries of restructuring program, which was completed during 2006. The savings from these programs have beeninitiatives designed to lower manufacturing and overhead costs in an effort to improve profitability and offset bythe impacts of rising commodity costs, changeswhich could not be passed on to customers through price increases. These programs have generally been completed and have resulted in market sales mix and continu ed competitive price pressure which have all adversely impacted gross margin. As a result, during 2006,benefits in excess of the Company undertook additional restructuring actions to lower costs which resulted in the expenditure of $3.1 million. These additional actions included product construction conversions from copper/brass to aluminum, the closure of the Racine administrative office and a realignment of the existing branch structure. In a 2006 third quarter earnings release, the Company announced that it anticipated spending $2.0 million to $3.0 million on new restructuring programs associated with changes to the Company’s branch operating structure and headcount reductions in the United States and Mexico.

In response to soft 2007 second quarter sales, and expectations of lower than expected results for the full year due to current market conditions, on July 25, 2007, the Company announced that it was finalizing and acting upon a broad range of strategic actions to right size its operational and administrative structure going forward. These actions would reduce the North American workforce and streamline distribution and manufacturing facilities in North America. In addition, these restructuring charges include a number of immediate actions to change the Company’s ‘‘go-to-market’’ strategy through its branch operations, which will further reduce branch operating costs while also enhancing the Company’s capability to more efficiently service its local customers. These actions are expected to increase restructuring costs for 2007 by $3 million to $4 million, resulting in total restructuring costs between $5&nbs p;million and $7 million, which includes the previously announced range of $2 million to $3 million. The Company expects to complete most of the indicated actions by the end of 2007. In taking these additional restructuring actions, management is attempting to position the Company for profitability in the future, not withstanding changes in market conditions.

On October 2, 2007, the Company announced that it would be closing 36 branch locations and establishing supply agreements with distribution partners to service these customers. This results in awere incurred.

Branch spending expenses for the quarter were also lower than those incurred in the same period a year ago due to the impactimpacts of branch closures during 2007 and the program initiated during the thirdfirst quarter of 20062008 designed to better align the Company’s go-to-market strategy with customer needs. This program, which includes the relocation, consolidation or closure of some branches and the establishment of expanded relationships with key distribution partners in some areas, has resulted in a reduction in the number of branch and agency locations from 12394 at the beginning ofDecember 31, 2006 to 8336 at September 27, 2007.

Expenses in 2008 were also lowered by the $1.5 million gain resulting from the sale of our unused Emporia, Kansas facility which had been acquired in the Modine Aftermarket merger in 2005. Partially offsetting these expense reductions in the first quarter of 2008 was a $0.7 million increase in freight costs reflecting the rising cost of fuel.

As described in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 5, 2008, the Company’s central distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi sustained significant damage as a result of strong storms and tornadoes (the ‘‘Southaven Casualty Event’’).

During the storm, a significant portion of the Company’s automotive and light truck heat exchange inventory was also destroyed. The Company’s insurance policy covers losses of property and from business interruption up to $80 million, which the Company believes, should provide more than sufficient coverage with respect to the damages arising from the Southaven Casualty Event. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, is a $2.1 million gain resulting from the Southaven Casualty Event reflecting a gain on the disposal of racking of $1.6 million, as the insurance recovery was in excess of the damaged assets net book value and a $1.1 million gain resulting from the recovery of margin on a portion of the destroyed inventory, which were offset in part by expenses of $0.6 million incurred as a result of the tornadoes which will not be reclassified to the insu rance receivable until it is assured that they are recoverable. For the most part, the Company has not yet recorded any recovery for business interruption nor does it include recovery on other claims pertaining to the destroyed inventory, fixed assets and certain Southaven Casualty Event related expenses that are currently still under review by the insurance company as these amounts are currently not determinable.

Invehicle leases associated with previously closed branch locations. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2007, the Company reported $1.9 million of restructuring costs associated with the strategic actions announced on July 25, 2007. In response to soft 2007 second quarter sales and expectations of lower-than-expected results for the full year, due to current market conditions, the Company indicated that it was finalizing and acting upon a broad range of strategic actions to right size its operational and administrative structure going forward. Headcount in the Company’s North American operations was reduced by 121 during the third quarter of 2007. In addition, it was announced that actions would be taken to change the Company’s ‘‘go-to-market’’ strategy through its branch operations, in order to further reduce branch operating costs while enhancing the Company’s capability to more efficiently service its local customers. On October 2, 2007, the Company announced that it woul d be closing 36 branch locations during the fourth quarter, reducing the number of remaining branch and agency locations to 47. In addition, the Company is establishing supply agreements with distribution partners to service these customers. These actions will result in between $0.5 million and $0.7 million of net cash restructuring costs being recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company expects that restructuring costs for all of 2007 will be between $5 million and $7 million. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company reported $0.8$0.3 million of restructuring costs primarily associated with changes to the Company’s branch operating structure. In September 2006, the Company announced that it was commencing a process to realign its branch structure, which would include the relocation, consolidation or closure of a portionsome branches and the establishment of expanded relationships with key distribution partners in some areas, as well as the opening of new branches, as appropriate. Actions during 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 have resulted in the reduction of branch and agency locations from 94 at December 31, 2006 to 36 at March 31, 2008 an d the establishment of supply agreements with distribution partners in certain areas. These actions have improved the Company’s market position and business performance by achieving better local branch utilization where multiple locations were involved, and by establishing in some cases, relationships with distribution partners to address geographic locations which do not justify stand-alone branch locations. Annual savings from these actions are expected to significantly exceed the costs incurred.

Discounting expense was $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $1.4 million in the same period last year, mainly reflecting lower levels of customer receivables being collected utilizing these programs primarily as a result of the Southaven Casualty Event. Amortization of deferred debt costs in the first quarter of 2008 was higher than the same period last year primarily due to the higher deferred debt costs associated with the Silver Point borrowings. Year-over-year interest expense levels for the remainder of 2007 will2008 are expected to be higher than the prior year comparable period, as a result of increases in interest rates and higher average debt levels.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Versus Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net sales of $309.7 million were $14.5 million or 4.5% below the same period of the prior year. Domestic sales were $229.7 million during the first nine months of 2007 compared to $253.5 million in the comparable period of 2006. Domestic heat exchange volume declines experienced during the second and third quarters of 2007, more than offset the slight unit volume improvements experienced during the first quarter of 2007. Throughout the period in 2007, the Company also experienced the impact of ongoing competitive pricing pressure and a shift in sales mix with more sales being directed towards wholesale customers and less to direct customers, resulting in lower average selling prices. In the domestic temperature control product lines, sales for the first nine months of 2007 were lower than a year ago reflecting higher pre-season orders from several major customers during the first quarter of 2006, which did not occur in 2007, branch closures and soft 2007 second and third quarter market conditions. Domestic heavy duty product sales were lower than a year ago reflecting soft market conditions, particularly in the heavy truck marketplace. International segment sales of $80.0 million were $9.3 million or 13.2% above the first nine months of 2006, including $4.4 million resulting from differences in exchange rates between the Euro and Peso and the U. S. dollar. The remaining improvement in international sales was caused by higher marine and heat exchange product sales in Europe during the 2007 nine month period.

Gross margins, as a percentage of net sales, for the first nine months of 2007 were 21.3% compared with 24.8% a year ago. The Company continues to experience the impact of rising commodity prices, competitive pricing pressure and the shift in sales mix from branch locations to wholesale customers, which combined have more than offset the cost reduction actions implemented by the Company. Copper and aluminum market costs currently included in the results of operations for the first nine months are up approximately 47% and 19%, respectively, over their levels of a year ago. During the remainder of 2007, the Company will experience the financial impact of copper and aluminum costs which, while closer, will continue to be above levels experienced in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, decreased by $11.6 million to 19.3% of sales versus 22.0% of sales a year ago. Cost reduction actions initiated during 2006 and the first nine months of 2007 account for the majority of the year over year reduction in expenses for the nine month period. These actions include the elimination of the Racine administrative facility and the assumption of these responsibilities by New Haven corporate office personnel, a reduction in the number of branch locations and other headcount and expense reductions. Expense levels in the first nine months of 2007 were also lowered by $0.7 million for the recording of a gain on the sale of a building vacated as a result of the branch

consolidation actions and by $0.4 million for the reversal of a vendor payable recorded at the time of the Modine Aftermarket merger, which was no longer required.

During the second quarter of 2007, as described in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company received an arbitration decision regarding an earn-out calculation associated with the acquisition of EVAP, Inc. in 1998. As a result of the arbitrator’s decision, the Company recorded in the second quarter, a non-cash charge of $3.2 million, which amount resulted from an increase in the liquidation preference of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.

In the first nine months of 2007, the Company reported restructuring costs of $3.2 million primarily associated with the closure of 11 branch locations and operating support headcount reductions in the United States and production headcount reductions at the Company’s two Mexican facilities. The Company anticipates that 2007 restructuring costs will be between $5 million and $7 million, including approximately $0.5 million to $0.7 million associated with the closure of 36 branch locations, which actions will occur during the fourth quarter. During the first nine months of 2006, the Company reported $1.5 million of restructuring costs. These costs were associated with the completion of the relocation of Nuevo Laredo copper/brass radiator production to Mexico City, the relocation of a portion of the air conditioning parts manufacturing operation located in Arlington, Texas to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, workforce reductions at ou r MexPar manufacturing facility in Mexico City, Mexico associated with the conversion of radiator production from copper/brass construction to aluminum and changes in our go-to-market distribution strategy which has resulted in our decision to close some branch locations. These costs were attributable to one-time workforce related costs, facility consolidation costs and the write-down to net realizable value of fixed assets which have no future use and were part of the restructuring program which the Company announced in 2005 in conjunction with the Modine Aftermarket merger.

Interest costs were $1.6 million above last year for the first nine months of 2007, due to $0.2 million of interest on unpaid dividends associated with the arbitration decision described in Note 8 of the attached Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, higher average interest rates and higher average debt levels. Discounting fees for the first nine months of 2007 were $4.1 million, $0.3 million below the levels experienced in 2006, reflecting the lower level of collections through these programs. Average interest rates on our Domestic revolving credit and term loan facility were 8.54% in 2007 compared to 7.40% in 2006, while average debt levels were $66.3 million for the first nine months of 2007 compared to $55.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in average debt levels primarily reflects borrowings by the Company’s NRF subsidiary under its available credit facility along with increased borro wing levels as a result of the new Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Silver Point Finance. Year-over-year interest expense levels for the remainder of 2007 will be higher than the prior year comparable period as a result of increases in interest rates and average debt levels.

As described in Note 3 of the attached Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on July 19, 2007, the Company entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement and utilized a majority of the proceeds to repay all indebtedness under the Company’s Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation. As a result of the Wachovia debt repayment, the Company recorded $0.9 million as debt extinguishment costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

For the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, the effective tax rate included only a foreign provision, as the reversal of the Company’s U. S. deferred tax valuation allowances offset a majority of the state and any federal income tax provisions. The 2007 provision also included $0.1 million associated with the adjustment of the NRF deferred tax asset as a result of changes in statutory income tax rates.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $12.4 million or $0.89 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share for the same period a year ago.

Accounts receivable were lower by $0.6 million due to the impact of lower trade sales caused by the Southaven Casualty Event. Inventories were reduced by $20.1 million due to the impact of reclassifying the destroyed inventory book value of $25.6 million into the insurance claim receivable, offset by expenditures to replenish the damaged inventory. Accounts payable grew by $9.9 million primarily as a result of inventory purchases to replace the damaged inventory.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as required by the Credit Agreement, the term loan was reduced by $4.6 million from the receipt of insurance proceeds associated with the Southaven Casualty Event, by $0.1 million from the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and by $1.0 million from the receipt of proceeds from the sale of an unused facility in Emporia, Kansas. As a result of the term loan reduction from the receipt of the insurance proceeds, the Company incurred a prepayment premium, as required by the Credit Agreement, of $0.4 million, which amount is included in debt extinguishment costs. In addition, due to the prepayment of the term loan, $0.2 million of the deferred debt costs have also been expensed as debt extinguishment costs in the income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

On March 12, 2008, the Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement (the ‘‘Second Amendment’’) was signed. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Lenders agreed to temporarily increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving B Commitments available to the Company from $25 million to $40 million. This additional liquidity allowed the Company to restore its operations in Southaven, Mississippi that were severely damaged by two tornadoes on February 5, 2008 (the ‘‘Southaven Casualty Event’’). The Company believes it has adequate insurance for the Southaven Casualty Event, including coverage for all inventory and fixed assets that were damaged. Under the Credit Agreement, the damage to the inventory and fixed assets resulted in a dramatic reduction in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, because the Bo rrowing Base definition excludes the damaged assets without giving effect to the related insurance proceeds. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lenders agreed to permit the Company to borrow funds in excess of the available amounts under the Borrowing Base definition in an amount not to exceed $26 million. The Company is required to reduce this ‘‘Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount’’, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to zero by May 31, 2008 and intends to do so, in part as it receives insurance proceeds relating to the Southaven Casualty Event, in accordance with the Second Amendment. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company is working to strengthen its capital structure by raising additional capital which it now believes will not occur until after May 31, 2008. The Company has hired Jefferies & Company, Inc. to assist it in obtaining such capital.

As previously reported, a number of Events of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, had occurred and were continuing relating to, among other things, the Southaven Casualty Event. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lenders waived such Events of Default including a waiver of the 2007 covenant violations, effective as of the Second Amendment date, resulting in the elimination of the 2% default interest, which had been charged effective November 30, 2007. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, $0.3 million of default interest was included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Consistent with current market conditions for similar borrowings, the Second Amendment increases the interest rate the Company must pay on its outstanding indebtedness to the Lenders to the greater of (i) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Second Amendment, plus 8%, or (ii) 12%, for LIBOR borrowings, or the greater of (x) the Adjusted Base Rate, as defined in the Second Amendment, plus 7%, or (y) 14%, for Base Rate borrowings.

The Second Amendment required the Company and the Lenders to work together during the ten business days following the date of the Second Amendment to reset the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Second Amendment provides for certain adjustments to the Company’s financial performance relating to, for example, the Southaven Casualty Event, for purposes of evaluating the Company’s compliance with certain financial covenants. In addition, during such ten business day period, the Company agreed to negotiate with Silver Point regarding the issuance of warrants to Silver Point to purchase up to 9.99% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company paid the Lenders a fee of $3.0 million, which has been deferred and is being amortized over the remaining term of the outstanding obligations.

As contemplated by the Second Amendment, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the ‘‘Third Amendment’’) on March 26, 2008. The Third Amendment reset the Company’s 2008 financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Among other financial covenants, the Third Amendment adjusted financial covenants relating to leverage, capital expenditures, consolidated EBITDA, and the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. These covenant adjustments reset the covenants under the Credit Agreement in light of, among other things, the Southaven Casualty Event.

Since the date of the Second Amendment, the Company has continued to work to restore its operations in Southaven, determine the full extent of the damage there, and prepare the Southaven Casualty Event-related insurance claim. As a result of these efforts, the Company has determined that a small portion of the inventory in Southaven was not damaged by the tornadoes, and could be returned to the Company’s inventory (and, consequently, to the Borrowing Base). As a result of this recharacterization, the Company and the Lenders have agreed in the Third Amendment to reduce the maximum Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to $24.2 million. The Company intends to reduce this ‘‘Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount’’, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to zero by May 31, 2008 through a plan which utilizes a combination of (i) operating results, (ii) working capital management and (iii) insurance proceeds, although there can be no a ssurance that the Company will be able to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount as required by the Credit Agreement.

The Third Amendment also provided the Company with a waiver for the default resulting from the explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2007 concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, as contemplated by the Second Amendment, on March 26, 2008 the Company issued warrants to purchase up to the aggregate amount of 1,988,072 shares of Company common stock (representing 9.99% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis) to two affiliates of Silver Point (collectively, the ‘‘Warrants’’). Warrants to purchase 993,040 shares are subject to cancellation if the Company raises $30 million of debt or equity capital pursuant to documents in form and substance satisfactory to Silver Point on or prior to May 31, 2008. While the Company continues to work toward raising a combination of $30 million or more in debt and/or equity, it now believes that any such financing will not occur until after May 31, 2008. The Warrants were sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to two accredited investors. To



Table of Contents

reflect the issuance of the Warrants, the Company recorded additional paid-in capital and deferred debt costs of $3.0 million. This represents the estimated fair value of the Warrants, based upon the terms and conditions of the Warrants and the Company’s common stock market value. The increase in deferred debt costs will be amortized over the remaining term of the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Warrants have a term of seven years from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to 85% of the lowest average dollar volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to exercise commencing 90 trading days prior to March 12, 2008 issuance date and ending 180 trading days after March 12, 2008. The Warrants contain a ‘‘full ratchet’’ anti-dilution provision providing for adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares underlying the Warrants in the event of certain share issuances below the exercise price of the Warrants; provided that the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants is subject to limitations under applicable American Stock Exchange rules (the ‘‘20% Issuance Cap’’). If the anti-dilution provisions would require the issuance of shares above the 20% Issuance Cap, the Company would provide a cash payment in lieu of the shares in excess of the 20% Issuance Cap. The Warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision. In the event of a change of control or similar transaction (i) the Company has the right to redeem the Warrants for cash at a price based upon a formula set forth in the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant holders have a right to require the Company to purchase the Warrants for cash during the 90 day period following the change of control at a price based upon a formula set forth in the Warrants.

In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, the Company entered into a Warrantholder Rights Agreement dated March 26, 2008 (the ‘‘Warrantholder Rights Agreement’’) containing customary representations and warranties. The Warrantholder Rights Agreement also provides the Warrant holders with a preemptive right to purchase any preferred stock the Company may issue prior to December 31, 2008 that is not convertible into common stock. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated March 26, 2008 (the ‘‘Registration Rights Agreement’’), pursuant to which it agreed to register for resale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 130% of the shares of common stock initially issuable pursuant to the Warrants. On April 21, 2008, a Form S-3 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the resale of 2,584,494 shares of common s tock issuable upon exercise of these Warrants. The Registration Rights Agreement also requires payments to be made by the Company under specified circumstances if (i) a registration statement was not filed on or before April 25, 2008, (ii) the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to June 24, 2008, (iii) after its effective date, such registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective and available to the holders subject to certain grace periods, or (iv) the Company fails to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any of the foregoing provisions are breached, the Company would be obligated to pay a penalty in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (x) the market price (as such term is defined in the Warrant) of such holder’s registrable securities and (y) the number of such holder’s registrable securities, on the date of the applicable breach and on every thirtiet h day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until cured.

Short-term Liquidity

On February 5, 2008, the Company’s central distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi sustained significant damage as a result of strong storms and tornadoes (the ‘‘Southaven Casualty Event’’). During the storm, a significant portion of the Company’s automotive and light truck heat exchange inventory was also destroyed. While the Company does have insurance covering damage to the facility and its contents, as well as any business interruption losses, up to $80 million, this incident has had a significant impact on the Company’s short term cash flow as the Company’s lenders would not give credit to the insurance proceeds in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the damage to the inventory and fixed assets resulted in a significant reduction in the Borrowing Base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, because the Borrowing Base definition excludes the damaged assets without giving effect to the related insurance proceeds. In order to provide access to funds to rebuild and purchase inventory damaged by the Southaven Casualty Event, the Company entered into a Second Amendment of the Credit

Agreement on March 12, 2008 (see Note 4). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Lenders have agreed to extend certain credit facilities (the ‘‘Facilities’’) totemporarily increase the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million, consisting of (a) $50 million aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans, (b) up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving A Commitments (including a $7.5 million letter of credit subfacility), and (c) up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving B Commitments.

The Company is determined by referencerequired to a borrowing base formula.

The Company is working with its insurance company through the claims process and received a $10 million preliminary advance during the first quarter of 2008, which was used to repay all Company indebtednessreduce obligations under the Company’s Amendedcredit facility and Restated Loana second preliminary advance of $11 million in April 2008 (see Note 13). The Company’s insurance policy covers losses of property and Security Agreement, dated February 28, 2007 (the ‘‘Wachovia Agreement’’), with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England), formerly



Table of Contents

known as Congress Financial Corporation (New England), as agent, and fees and expenses related thereto. The Facilities are available on an ongoing basis for general working capital needs. As with the prior Wachovia Agreement, all borrowings under the new loans are secured by substantially all of the assets offrom business interruption up to $80 million, which the Company (including a pledge of 65% of the shares of the Company’s NRF and Mexican subsidiaries). The Agreement provides call protection to the Lenders (subject to certain exceptions) by way of the lesser of a make-whole amount and prepayment premium ranging from 5% to 3% to 1%, respectively, of outstanding loans prepaid over years 2, 3, and 4. Mandatory prepayments in year 1 are subject to such make-whole amount (subject to certain exceptions). Voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans are first applied to the Revolving A Loans outstanding. While voluntary prepayments of the Tranche A Term Loan are permitted after year 1, resulting availability must be at least $5 million. The Agreement re quires mandatory prepayments of the loans with the proceeds of issuances of debt and equity of the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as an annual 75% excess cash flow sweep (subject to availability minimums) (in each of the foregoing cases, the proceeds of which are applied first, to the Tranche A Term Loans, second, to the Revolving A Loans and third, to the Revolving B Loans) and in respect of asset sales and following the incurrence of debt from the Lenders at its NRF subsidiary. Generally, mandatory prepayment with proceeds of inventory or accounts are applied first to the Revolving A Loans, second, to the Revolving B Loans and third, to the Tranche A Term Loan, and mandatory prepayments with proceeds of other collateral are applied first, to the Tranche A Term Loans second, to the Revolving A Loans and third, to the Revolving B Loans. Holders of Tranche A Term Loans may waive their mandatory prepayment right, in which case such proceeds will be applied pro rata to the remaining holders of the Tranche A Term Loans.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants for financing transactions of this nature (including, without limitation, covenants in respect of financial and other reporting and a covenant to hedge interest in respect of up to $25 million principal of the Tranche A Term Loan for up to two years), negative covenants (including limitation on debt, liens, restricted payments, investments, sale-leaseback transactions), fundamental changes (including an annual $10 million limit on asset sales), affiliate transactions (including prohibition on transfers of assets to subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors of the Facilities) and events of default (including any pledge of assets of NRF or its subsidiaries or any change of control).

The Agreement also has quarterly and annual covenants relating to leverage, capital expenditures, EBITDA, and a fixed chargebelieves, should provide more than sufficient coverage ratio. Certain financial covenants are tested on a consolidated basis as well as in respect of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and a Mexican subsidiary and in respect of its European operations on a stand alone basis. At September 30, 2007, the Company was in violation of the consolidated senior leverage and NRF total debt covenants contained in the Agreement. The Company has obtained waivers for these violations.

The Agreement provides customary tax and other indemnities to the Lenders as well as a guaranty of all obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries that are parties to the credit documents, such guaranty provided jointly and severally by each domestic subsidiary of the Company. In July 2007, the Company also entered into a pledge and security agreement with one of its significant vendors, pursuant to which it pledged substantially all its assets to the vendor as security with respect to the damages arising from the Southaven Casualty Event. The Company is also continuing to work toward raising a combination of $30 million or more in debt and/or equity to reduce or possibly replace its current Credit Agreement and to provide additional working capital. The Company believes that any such financing will not occur until after May 31,  2008. Jefferies & Company, Inc. has been hired to assist the Company in obtaining new debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional funds from the plans noted above or that further Lender accommodations would be available, on acceptable terms or at all, if the Company fails to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2008.

If the Company is unable to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2008, the Company will be in violation of a covenant in the Credit Agreement and will be required to negotiate a waiver to cure the default. If the Company were unable to successfully resolve the default with the Lenders, the entire amount of any indebtedness under the Credit Agreement at that time could become due and payable, at the Lender’s discretion. This results in uncertainties concerning the Company’s outstanding payablesability to retire the debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that vendor. The vendor’s security interestmight be necessary if the Company is subordinatedunable to the security interestcontinue as a going concern.

As a result of the Lenders under the Agreement.

On January 3, 2007, the Company amended its then existing Loan and Security Agreement (the ‘‘Credit Facility’’) with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England) pursuant to a Sixteenth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the ‘‘Amendment’’). The Amendment, which was effective as of December 19, 2006, revised the inventory loan limit to reflectuncertainty concerning the Company’s continued progress in reducing its inventory levels. The Inventory Loan Limit was previously $43.0 million from December 1, 2006 through Decemberability to reduce the Borrowing Base Overadvance Amount to zero by May 31, 2006 and $40.0 million from and after January 4, 2007. The revised limits were $43.0 million from December 19, 2006 through January 4, 2007, $42.8 million from January 5, 2007 through January 11, 2007, $42.5 million from January 12, 2007 through January 18, 2007, $4 2.3 million from January 19, 2007 through January 25, 2007, $42.0 million from January 25, 2007 through February 1, 2007, $41.8 million from February 2, 2007 through February 8, 2007,

On January 19, 2007,2008, the Company amended the Credit Facility pursuant to a Seventeenth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the ‘‘Seventeenth Amendment’’). The Seventeenth Amendment, which was effective as of January 19, 2007, reduced the amount of Minimum Excess Availability which the Company was required to maintain from $5.0 million to $2.5 million from and after January 19, 2007.

On February 28, 2007, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (New England) (the ‘‘Wachovia Agreement’’). The Wachovia Agreement amended and restated the Company’s then existing Credit Facility to reflect an additional Term B loan in the amount of $8.0 million. This additional indebtedness was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its owned real property locations across the United States. The maturity date of the Term B loan was July 2009. Repayments of the Term B loan were to be in twenty-two consecutive monthly installments of $167 thousand commencing on October 1, 2007 with the remaining balance paid on July 21, 2009. The Wachovia Agreement reset certain financial covenants including (i) EBITDAauditor’s opinion for the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006-($1.0 milli on); three months ended March 31, 2007-($1.0 million), adjusted for any inventory revaluation, but not less than ($2.6 million); six months ended June 30, 2007-$7.5 million; nine months ended September 30, 2007-$17.5 million and twelve months ended December 31, 2007-$20.0 million; (ii) capital expenditures in 2007 were capped at $8.0 million and (iii) the Fixed Charge Ratio was amended to .50 to 1.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2007; .85 to 1.00 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the twelve monthsyear ended December 31, 2007 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2008; .90 to 1.00 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008; .95 to 1.00 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008; and 1.00 to 1.00 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The Wachovia Agreement also established minimum EBITDA forincluded an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company’s NRF subsidiary, unless there was excess availability of $15.0 million, for the following twelve-month periods: December 31, 2006-$4.5 million; March 31, 2007-$4.9 million; June 30, 2007-$5.2 million; September 30, 2007-$5.2 million and December 31, 2007-$5.5 million. The Wachovia Agreement did not affect the amount of minimum excess availability that the Company was requiredability to maintain. The Company was not in compliance with the EBITDA and fixed charge ratio covenantscontinue as of June 30, 2007; however, these were cured when the debt was paid in full during July 2007, as described above.a going concern.

Longer-term Liquidity

The future liquidity and ordinary capital needs of the Company, inexcluding the short termimpact of the Southaven Casualty Event, described above, are expected to be met from a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings. The Company’s working capital requirements peak during the secondfirst and thirdsecond quarters, reflecting the normal seasonality in the Automotive and Light Truck product lines.Domestic segment. Changes in market conditions, the effects of which may not be offset by the Company’s actions in the short-term, could have an impact on the Company’s available liquidity and results of operations. The Company has taken actions during 2007 and 2008 to improve its liquidity and is attempting to take actions to afford additional liquidity and flexibility for the Company to achieve its operating objectives. There can be no assurance, however, that such actions will be consummated on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, the Company’s future cash flow may be impacted by the discontinuancedisco ntinuance of currently utilized customer sponsored payment programs. The loss of one or more of the Company’s significant customers or changes in payment terms to one or more major suppliers could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and future liquidity. The Company utilizes customer-sponsored programs administered by financial institutions in order to accelerate the collection of funds and offset the impact of extended customer payment terms. The Company intends to continue utilizing these programs as long as they are a cost effective tool to accelerate cash flow. If the Company were to



Table of Contents

implement major new growth initiatives, it would also have to seek additional sources of capital; however, no assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in securing such additional sources of capital.

Management’s initiatives over the last two years, including cost reduction programs and securing additional debt financing in 2007 have been designed to improve operating results, enhance liquidity and to better position the Company for competition under current and future market conditions. However, the Company may in the future be required to seek new sources of financing or future accommodations from our existing lender or other financial institutions. The Company’s liquidity is



Table of Contents

dependent on implementing cost reductions and sustaining revenues to achieve consistent profitable operations. The Company may be required to further reduce operating costs in order to meet its obligations. No assurance can be given that management’s initiatives will be successful or that any such additional sources of financing or lender accommodations will be available.

Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has certain exposures to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, a concentration of credit risk primarily with trade accounts receivable and the price of commodities used in our manufacturing processes. Between the month of December 2007 and April 2008, average monthly commodity costs for copper and aluminum continued to be volatile as in the past several years. The Company continues to implement action plans in an effort to offset commoditythese cost increases, including customer pricing actions, and

various cost reduction activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to offset these cost increases going forward. There have been no other material changes in market risk since the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.2007.

Item 4T.4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relat ionship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007.

During 2005, the Company began its project to become compliant with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company, for the first time, will have to be compliant with the Section 404 management’s internal control certification requirements as of the end of 2007. However, since the Company’s market capitalization did not exceed $75 million on June 30, 2007; it will not have to be compliant with the internal control audit requirements of Section 404 untilMarch 31, 2008.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
