See notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 CORE MATERIALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim reporting, which are less than those required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Core Materials Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Core Materials") at March 31,June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows. The "Consolidated Notes"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", which are contained in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's amounts to conform to the classifications of such amounts for 2002. Core Materials Corporation and its subsidiaries operate in the plastics market in a family of products known as "reinforced plastics". Reinforced plastics are combinations of resins and reinforcing fibers (typically glass or carbon) that are molded to shape. The Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina facilities produce reinforced plastics by compression molding sheet molding compound (SMC) in a closed mold process. The Matamoros, Mexico facility produces reinforced plastic products by spray-up and hand-lay-up open mold processes and vacuum assisted resin infused (VRIM) closed mold process. 2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per common share isare computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share isare computed similarly but include the effect of the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method. In calculating net income per share for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2001, stock options had no effect on the weighted average shares for the computation of diluted income per share and consequently basic and diluted net income per share were the same. 6 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss) plus the results of certain non-shareowners'non-stockholders' equity changes not reflected in the Statement of Income. The components of comprehensive income, (loss), net of tax, are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- Net income $573,522 $ 3,656 Hedge accounting effect of interest rate 53,533 (81,290) swap, net of tax effect of $27,578 and $41,877, respectively -------- -------- Comprehensive income (loss) $627,055 $(77,634) ======== ========

6 4. ACQUISITION OF AIRSHIELD CORPORATION ASSETS On October 16, 2001, Core Materials Corporation purchased substantially all of the assets, consisting primarily of inventory, accounts receivable and manufacturing equipment, of Airshield Corporation, a privately held manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced plastic parts for the truck and automotive-aftermarket industries. Airshield iswas based in Brownsville, Texas, with manufacturing operations in Matamoros, Mexico. Airshield had been operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since March 2001. Core Materials Corporation has continued operations from Airshield's former manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico. The following (unaudited) pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airshield Corporation had occurred at the beginning of 2001. Quarter Ended March 31, 2001 -------------- Net sales $ 22,885,276

The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. The effects of the acquisition have been included in the consolidated statement of income since the acquisition date. 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations". This statement improves the transparency of the accounting and reporting for business combinations by requiring that all business combinations be accounted for under a single method - the purchase method. This Statement is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Airshield Corporation, which took place on October 16, 2001, was accounted for under SFAS No. 141. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". This statement applies to intangibles and goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001, as well as goodwill and intangibles previously acquired. Under this statement goodwill as well as other intangibles determined to have an infinite life will no longer be amortized; however these assets will be reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis. Due to the 7 adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill. The total net book value of goodwill at March 31,June 30, 2002 was $1,097,433, and there was no goodwill recorded at March 31,June 30, 2001. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The adoption of this statement, as of January 1, 2002, did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 6. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR INFORMATION In the current year, the Company has classified completed tooling projects as revenue and cost of goods sold in the statement of income. Previously, the Company classified the net effect of tooling projects as a miscellaneous gain (loss) in selling, general and administrative expenses. Tooling projects are and have been accounted for under the completed contracts method. For comparative purposes, amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. Second quarter 2001 tooling revenue was $985,000 and the associated cost of goods sold $960,000. For the six months ending June 30, 2001 tooling revenue amounted to $2,419,000 and the applicable costs of goods sold was $2,420,000. 7 This change in classification had no effect on previously reported net income, cash flow or stockholders' equity. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 2, 2002, Core Materials Corporation filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval from its stockholders of record on July 29, 2002, to change the name of Core Materials Corporation to Core Molding Technologies, Inc. A special stockholders' meeting will take place on August 28, 2002, to determine if the Company's stockholders will approve the name change. In September 2002, the Company anticipates changing its ticker symbol on the American Stock Exchange from "CME" to "CMT". This change is taking place because another corporation has offered to purchase the rights to use "CME" from the Company for $500,000 and other promotional considerations. 8 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements under this caption constitute "forward-looking statements" which involve certain risks and uncertainties. Core Materials' actual results may differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: business conditions in the plastics, transportation, recreation and commercial product industries, the general economy, competitive factors, the dependence on foura few major customers, the recent efforts of Core Materials to expand its customer base, new technologies, regulatory requirements, labor relations, the loss or inability to attract key personnel, the availability of capital, the start up of new operations in Mexico and management's decisions to pursue new products or businesses which involve additional costs, risks or capital expenditures. OVERVIEW Core Materials is a compounder of sheet molding composite ("SMC") and molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company produces high quality fiberglass reinforced molded products and SMC materials for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, automobiles, personal watercraft and other commercial products. The demand for Core Materials' products is affected by economic conditions in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Core Materials' manufacturing operations have a significant fixed cost component. Accordingly, during periods of changing demands, the profitability of Core Materials' operations may change proportionately more than revenues from operations. On December 31, 1996, Core Materials acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Columbus Plastics, a wholly owned operating unit of International's truck manufacturing division since its formation in late 1980. Columbus Plastics was a compounder and compression molder of SMC. In October 2001, Core Materials acquired certain assets of Airshield Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, Core Materials expanded its fiberglass molding capabilities to include the spray up, hand-lay-up and vacuum assisted resin infusion molding processes.processes ("VRIM"). The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method and accordingly the effects of the acquisition are included in the results of operations and financial condition of Core Materials from the date of the acquisition and forward. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 2001 Net sales for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, totaled $20,297,000$26,652,000 representing an approximate 6%45% increase from the $19,099,000$18,443,000 reported for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. Sales to International increased to $10,249,000$11,344,000 from $9,986,000$10,368,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the increase was due to additional business with International that was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to Yamaha decreasedincreased for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002 by approximately 27% to $4,133,000$4,357,000 compared with $5,631,000$3,488,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The decreaseincrease in Yamaha sales is primarily the result of the introduction of Yamaha's new four-cycle personal watercraft. The Company also saw additions to Yamaha was primarilysales due to the negative impact general economic conditions have had on the demand for personal watercraft.new business with Freightliner and Paccar. Sales to Lear increasedFreightliner amounted to $2,273,000$2,629,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $327,000 forJune 30, 2002. These sales were the same period a year ago primarily due to the first quarter of 2001 being the ramp up of production for the Lear product. Additionally, sales to Freightliner totaled $1,740,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Core Materials began selling product to Freightliner in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to Paccar amounted to $4,236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales to Paccar were generated primarily from the completion of tooling projects for new business that the Company has acquired. Sales to Lear Corporation decreased to $1,807,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to sales of $2,728,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The primary reason for this decrease was due to reductions in selling prices for Lear products. 9 Sales to other customers for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, decreasedincreased approximately 40%22% to $1,901,000$2,278,000 from $3,156,000$1,861,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The decrease in salesincrease was primarily the result of Core Materials discontinuing its business relationship with Case/New Holland in 2001. For the three months ending March 31, 2001, salesdue to Case/New Holland amounted to $2,190,000. Offsetting a portion of the decreases were sales of $938,000$363,000 to other various customers brought onobtained from the acquisition noted above. 9 For the three months ended June 30, 2002, tooling sales amounted to $5,209,000, as compared to $989,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Tooling sales accounted for 19.5% of total sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This amount was 5.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Tooling projects are sporadic in nature and do not represent a recurring trend. Gross Marginmargin was approximately 16.5%15.5% of sales for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, compared with 12.7%13.2% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The increase in gross margin as a percent of sales, from the prior year, wasis primarily due to a combination of many factors including improvedimprovements in material, labor utilization, improved manufacturing processes leading to a reduction of scrap costs,efficiency and reduced energyrepair and maintenance costs at the Company's Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina facilities.facility. Gross marginmargins from the newly established operationoperations resulting from the acquisition noted above waswere generally in line with the Company's historical business. DuringPartially offsetting the increase in gross margin were the price reductions for the Lear product as noted above, which is produced at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility. Also, completed tooling projects for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, had a slightly dilutive effect on gross margin for this operation was favorably impacted by temporary customer price concessions. These price concessions expired in April 2002; however, the Company expects the gross margin for this operation to stay in line with its other operations due to continuing efforts to improve manufacturing processes and reduce manufacturing costs.percentage. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") totaled $1,964,000$2,551,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, decreasingincreasing from $2,027,000$1,737,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Downsizing of the workforce and cost saving programs implemented in the Columbus, Ohio and Gaffney, South Carolina facilities were offset by the addition of the Mexican operation. Interest expense totaled $501,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, increasing from $480,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001. The increase in interest expense from 2001 was primarily due to interestthe additional costs added as a result of the new Mexican operation. Interest expense being reduced in 2001 by a higher amount of capitalized interest associated with assets being constructed.totaled $507,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, increasing slightly from $502,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Interest rates experienced by the Company with respect to the industrial revenue bond were favorable; however, due to the interest rate swap the Company entered into, the interest rate is essentially fixed for this debt instrument. Interest income totaled $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, decreasing from $104,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to a decrease in funds available for investment and the decrease in the interest rate for that investment. Income taxes for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, are estimated to be approximately 38%39% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be lower than the recorded expenses as Core Materials has substantial federal tax loss carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax asset. As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax payments, Core Materials reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording a reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related to income earned for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, are estimated to be approximately $238,000,$253,000 which reflects federal alternative minimum, state and local taxes. Net income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, was $574,000,$667,000 or $.06$.07 per basic and diluted share, representing an increase of $570,000$491,000 over the net income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2001, of $4,000,$176,000 or $.00$.02 per basic and diluted share. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $47,678,000 representing an approximate 22.3% increase from the $38,977,000 reported for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Sales to International increased slightly to $22,322,000 from $21,518,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the increase was due to additional business with International that was obtained as a result of the October 2001 acquisition, noted above. Sales to Lear increased to $4,080,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $3,054,000 for the same period a year ago. The primary reason for the increase was due to the product for Lear being introduced in early 2001 with initial sales volumes being relatively low. This increase is partially offset by reductions in selling prices as noted above. The Company also saw additions to sales due to new business to Freightliner and Paccar. This increase was due to the reasons noted above for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales to Yamaha decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $8,490,000 compared with $9,118,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in Yamaha sales is primarily due to the negative impact general economic conditions have had on the demand for personal watercraft. Sales to other customers for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreased to $3,890,000 from $5,286,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in sales was primarily the result of the Company discontinuing its business relationship with Case/New Holland. Sales to Case/New Holland were $3,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Partially offsetting these amounts were sales to other customers obtained from the acquisition noted above. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, tooling sales amounted to $5,939,000, as compared to $2,425,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Tooling sales accounted for 12.5% of total sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This amount was 6.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Tooling projects are sporadic in nature and do not represent a recurring trend. Gross margin was 15.8% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in gross margin, as a percent of sales from the prior year, was due to a combination of many factors including improved labor utilization, improved manufacturing processes leading to a reduction of scrap costs, reduced energy costs and repairs and maintenance costs at the 10 Company's Columbus, Ohio facility. Gross margins from the newly established operations resulting from the acquisition noted above were generally in line with the Company's historical business. Partially offsetting the increase in gross margin were the price reductions for the Lear product as noted above, which is produced at the Company's Gaffney, South Carolina facility. Also, completed tooling projects for the six months ended June 30, 2002, had a slightly dilutive effect on gross margin percentage. SG&A totaled $4,589,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, increasing from $3,738,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase from the 2001 amount is primarily due to the reasons noted above for the three months. Interest expense totaled $1,008,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, increasing slightly from $982,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, for the reason noted above. Interest income totaled $71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, decreasing from $200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 for the reason noted above. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002, are estimated to be approximately 39% of total earnings before taxes. Actual tax payments will be lower than the recorded expenses as Core Materials has substantial federal tax loss carryforwards. These loss carryforwards were recorded as a deferred tax asset. As the tax loss carryforwards are utilized to offset federal income tax payments, Core Materials reduces the deferred tax asset as opposed to recording a reduction in income tax expense. Projected future income tax payments related to income earned for the six months ended June 30, 2002, are estimated to be approximately $491,000 which reflects federal alternative minimum, state and local taxes. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $1,241,000 or $.13 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $1,062,000 compared to the net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001, of $179,000 or $.02 per basic and diluted share. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Core Materials' primary cash requirements are for operating expenses and capital expenditures. These cash requirements have historically been met through a combination of cash flow from operations, equipment leasing, issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds and bank lines of credit. Cash provided by operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, totaled $1,372,000.$2,771,000. Net income increasedcontributed $1,241,000 with depreciation and amortization adding another $1,006,000. Adding positive operating cash flows by $574,000. Also adding positive cash flow was an increase in accounts payable of $2,429,000,$3,294,000, primarily related to timing effects. Additionally, depreciation and amortization provided $506,000 in positive cash flow. Decreasing the operating cash flow was an increase in accounts receivable of $1,968,000,$2,349,000, which was primarily due to the increased volume in sales volumes in the first quarterhalf of 2002 compared to the volume in the fourth quarter of 2001.2002. Also decreasing the operating cash flowflows was an increase in inventory of $557,000 primarily$592,000 due to the Company building ahead on certain products due to scheduled tooling refurbishments.production ramp up for new product launches. Investing activities increasedpositively affected cash flow by $197,000$406,000 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002. CapitalProceeds from maturities on Core Materials' mortgage-backed security investment totaled $626,000. Partially offsetting these proceeds were capital expenditures totaled $124,000, which wasof $219,000 primarily related to the acquisition of machinery and equipment. Offsetting these expenditures were proceeds from maturities on the Company's mortgage-backed security investment of $321,000. Financing activities reduced cash flow by $85,000$175,000 due to principal repayments on the $7,500,000 Industrial Revenue Bond that was issued in 1998. At March 31,June 30, 2002, Core Materials had cash on hand of $4,678,000$6,197,000 and an available line of credit of $7,500,000, which is scheduled to mature on August 1, 2002.$7,500,000. As of March 31,June 30, 2002, Core Materials was in violation of two of its three financial debt covenants for its line of credit, its letter of credit securing the Industrial Revenue Bond and certain equipment leases. The covenants relate to maintaining certain financial ratios. Core Materials has received a written commitment from the bank to waive these covenants each quarter through the 10 quarter ended September 30, 2002, if Core Materials operates in compliance with financial projections for fiscal year 2002 and does not experience any material adverse change to its financial condition. Core Materials has operated in compliance with the financial projections for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, and the bank has waived the covenants for this period. Management expects Core Materials to meet these projections for the remainder of 2002. However, if performance should fall below these projections or if a material adverse change in the financial position of Core Materials should occur, Core Materials' liquidity and ability to obtain further financing to fund future operating and capital requirements could be negatively impacted. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements 11 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, post retirement benefits, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Accounts receivable allowances: Management maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Management also records estimates for customer returns and discounts offered to customers. Should customer returns and discounts fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be required. Inventories: In some cases, the Company purchases raw materials and components at anticipated production levels. Management identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories and estimates appropriate loss provisions related to these inventories. Historically, these loss provisions have not been significant. Should actual results differ from these estimates, additional provisions may be required. Post retirement benefits: Management records an accrual for post retirement costs associated with the Company sponsored health care plan. Should actual results differ from the assumptions, particularly related to future health care costs, used to determine the reserves, additional provisions may be required. Income taxes: Management records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance and recorded a valuation allowance (see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, included in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders). The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income. The valuation reserve will be adjusted as the Company determines the actual amount of deferred tax assets that will be realized. 1112 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Core Materials' primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. Core Materials is also exposed to changes in the price of commodities used in its manufacturing operations. The Company does not hold any material market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Core Materials has the following five items that are sensitive to a change in interest rates: (1) Long-term debt consisting of an Industrial Revenue Bond ("IRB") with a balance at March 31,June 30, 2002, of $6,365,000.$6,275,000. Interest is variable and is computed weekly; the average interest rate charged for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2002, was 1.6%1.64%, and the maximum interest rate that may be charged at any time over the life of the IRB is 10%. In order to minimize the effect of the interest rate fluctuation, Core Materials has entered into an interest rate swap arrangement under which Core Materials pays a fixed rate of 4.89% to a bank and receives 76% of the 30 day commercial paper rate; (2) Long-term Secured Note Payable with a balance as of March 31,June 30, 2002, of $19,920,000 that bears interest at a fixed annualinterest rate of 8%; (3) 7% mortgage-backed security which matures in November 2025. Such security is recorded at cost and is considered held to maturity as Core Materials has the intent and ability to hold such security to maturity; (4) Revolving line of credit, which bears interest at LIBOR plus three and one-quarter percent or prime plus one-quarter percent;percent as elected by Core Materials; and (5) Foreign currency purchases in which Core Materials purchases Mexican pesos with United States dollars to meet certain obligations that arise due to the facility located in Mexico. Assuming a hypothetical 20% change in short-term interest rates in both the threesix month periodsperiod ended March 31,June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest expense would not change significantly, as the interest rate swap agreement would generally offset the impact. 1213 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
