CHAMPION PARTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

_________________________________________________________________







Note 1.

The accompanying financial statements for the three months and six months ending July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004 have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company included in the Company's Annual Report submitted on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.



Certain amounts relating to June 27, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.



The Company previously adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information and management views the Company as one business segment, the remanufacturing of auto parts.



Note2.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim period.  Results of operations for the six months ending July 3, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 4.

For reporting purposes, product and core returns are offset against gross sales in arriving at net sales. Total returns for the three months ended July 3, 2005 were $1,702,000 compared to $1,899,000 at June 27, 2004.  Total returns for the six months ended July 3, 2005 were $3,649,000 compared to $3,285,000 at June 27, 2004.



Note 5.

In the second quarter of 2005, net sales to the Company's four largest customers accounted for approximately 72% of total net sales.  In the second quarter of 2004, net sales to the Company's four largest customers were approximately 75% of total net sales.

A reduction in the level of sales to or the loss of one or more of these customers would have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.



Note 6.

Long-lived Assets-The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  As of July 3, 2005 there has been no impairment of long lived-assets.



Note 7.

The income tax expense attributable to operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004, differed from the amounts computed by applying the federal income tax rate of 34% principally as a result of tax benefits recognized related to the carry forward of net operating losses.



Note 8.

Debt - On August 10, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year secured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, replacing the Congress Financial Corporation credit facility.  Maximum credit available under the new PNC facility is $14,000,000, including available letter of credit accommodations of $1,000,000.  The interest rate on the revolving debt facility is lender prime plus 0.25 % or LIBOR plus 2%, and for letters of credit, the rate is 3.25% per annum on the daily outstanding balance.



Also, on August 10, 2004, the Company entered into a commercial property loan on its Hope, Arkansas properties with Elk Horn Bank and Trust Company acting as lead bank for a group of five lending institutions.  The loan with Elk Horn is for $900,000, with seven-year amortization and an interest rate of New York prime plus 2% adjusted quarterly.



On March 18, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit, Loan and Security Agreement dated August 10, 2004 with PNC Bank, National Association. Amendment No. 1 set forth the terms for temporary modification of the revolving interest rate from 0.25% to 1.25% above bank prime through April 12, 2005; the terms for temporary over-formula advances resulting from a change in the Lenders interpreting the formula for calculating Eligible Receivables; the definition of collateral monitoring fees; and the redefinition of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant from a quarterly basis to a rolling twelve month basis.



On June 28, 2004, the Company consummated the sale of its Beech Creek facility and property. The plant was vacated after consolidating operations in March of 2002.  The gross value of the transaction was $1.5 million and the net proceeds were used to reduce property term debt and revolver debt in July. The net difference between sales proceeds received, assets held for sale and other costs of approximately $118,000 was recorded against the asset restructuring reserve provided for this transaction. A $200,000 escrow account was established at the closing of the sale of the property to cover future EPA issues. Sale of the Beech Creek property allowed the Company to proceed with replacing the Congress loan facility with the new lenders.

Note 8. (Continued)



At July 3, 2005, the balance outstanding on the Companys revolver loan facility with PNC Bank, National Association was $7,384,000 and letter of credit accommodations were $40,000. Also at July 3, 2005, the balance outstanding on the Companys commercial mortgage loan with Elk Horn Bank was $814,000. The total of the loan balances was $8,198,000, which compares to total loan balances at December 31, 2004 of $11,061,000 and letter of credit accommodations of $40,000.



At July 3, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the amended fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.



Note 9.



At March 28, 2004, the Company met job expansion incentives and the $250,000 City of Hope, Arkansas note was forgiven. The forgiveness of the debt was taken into non-operating income.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





Management Overview



Second quarter 2005 net sales of $5,995,000 were $871,000, or 17.0%, higher than the same period in 2004 reflecting stronger sales of constant velocity axles, heavy duty and agricultural products, and air conditioning products.  Cost of products sold for the quarter was higher than 2004 by $1,073,000, as a result of significantly higher sales, product mix and increased costs of raw materials.  Selling, distribution and administrative expenses for the quarter were lower than the second quarter 2004 by $106,000, or 15.7%, primarily due to lower administrative salaries and elimination of costs associated with the Beech Creek, Pennsylvania facility that was sold in June of last year. Operating income for the quarter was $383,000 versus $479,000 in second quarter 2004, a decrease of $96,000, or 20.0%.



Interest expense for the quarter was $5,000 less compared to 2004, reflecting a lower revolver balance, partially offset by higher interest rates.





First six months 2005 net sales of $11,808,000 were $1,216,000, or 11.5%, higher than the same period in 2004 primarily reflecting stronger sales of constant velocity axles, heavy duty and agricultural products, and air conditioning products.  Cost of products sold for the first half was higher than 2004 by $1,452,000, as a result of significantly higher sales, product mix and increased costs of raw materials.  Selling, distribution and administrative expenses for the half were lower than 2004 by $214,000, or 15.8%, primarily due to lower administrative salaries and elimination of costs associated with the Beech Creek, Pennsylvania facility that was sold in June of last year. Operating income for the first half was $688,000 versus $710,000 in first half 2004, a decrease of $22,000, or 3.1%.



Interest cost for the quarter was up $22,000 over 2004, reflecting higher interest rates. On March 18, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit, Loan and Security Agreement with PNC Bank. The amendment set forth the terms for temporary modification of the revolving interest rate from 0.25% to 1.25% above bank prime through April 12, 2005; the terms for temporary over-formula advances resulting from a change in the Lenders interpreting the formula for calculating Eligible Receivables; the definition of collateral monitoring fees; and the redefinition of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant from a quarterly basis to a rolling twelve month basis.  Interest rates have subsequently returned to the level originally specified in the Loan Agreement, 0.25% above bank prime (6.25%).



Non-operating income for the first half was $86,000 versus $256,000 in the same period of 2004, a $170,000 decrease. At the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Company met job expansion incentives and the $250,000 City of Hope, Arkansas note was forgiven. In 2005, the company earned $78,000 in rebates from the State of Arkansas for meeting job expansion incentives.  Net income for the first half was $416,000 versus $657,000 in 2004. The $241,000 decline in net income primarily reflects the recognition of the $250,000 loan forgiveness in the prior years net income.  On a comparable basis, net income for the first half of 2005 was $69,000 lower compared to the same period in 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Three months ended July 3, 2005 compared to three months ended June 27, 2004



Net sales for the quarter ending July 3, 2005 were $5,995,000 versus net sales of $5,124,000 for the same fiscal quarter in 2004.  The $871,000, or 17.0%, the increase in net sales compared to 2004 reflected stronger sales of constant velocity axles, heavy duty, agricultural, and air conditioning products.  Total product and core returns, which are accounted for as reductions to gross sales, were 21.7% and 26.6% of gross sales for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Product and core returns are accounted for on an accrual basis driven by gross sales, consequently the lower percentage for the second quarter of 2005 reflects the impact of the lower carburetor sales.



Carburetor net sales were 42.3% and 50.4% of total net sales, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004. Even though new vehicles sold are no longer equipped with carburetors in the United States and Canada, the Company continues to sell replacement units for older vehicles, which predominantly use carburetors.  The Company expects that the trend in carburetor sales will decline in future periods.  In addition, carburetor margins may be negatively impacted in the future as customers accelerate product returns during periods of declining demand.

---



Cost of products sold was $5,044,000, or 84.1%, of net sales for 2005 as compared to $3,971,000, or 77.5%, for the second quarter of 2004.  The $1,073,000, increase versus 2004 is primarily due to significantly higher sales, product mix, and increased cost of raw materials.  The product mix in the second quarter of 2005 included a larger percentage of new products that have a higher cost of raw materials as compared to remanufactured products.  Prices also increased in 2005 for purchased materials that are petroleum based.



Selling, distribution and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2005 were $568,000 compared to $674,000 in second quarter of 2004. The spending decrease of $106,000 primarily reflects the elimination of residual operating costs recorded in administrative overhead last year for the idle Pennsylvania facility (taxes, insurance and utilities), sold in June of 2004.  Administrative salaries and associated fringe costs were also lower than last year.



Operating income for the quarter was $383,000, compared to $479,000 for the second quarter of 2004.  The operating income decrease versus 2004 is attributed to higher cost of products sold as described above.



Interest expense of $150,000 for the quarter was $5,000 less than 2004, reflecting a lower revolver balance this year.  This was partially offset by higher interest rates.  The revolving interest rate is 0.25% above bank prime.  The commercial property loan rate is New York prime plus 2% adjusted quarterly.



Non-operating income for the quarter was $42,000 versus $3,000 in the same period of 2004. The $39,000 increase reflects rebates the company earned for meeting job expansion incentives.



Net income was $256,000 for the second quarter versus $322,000 for 2004.  The $66,000, or 20.5%, decline resulted from higher cost of products sold.

Six months ended July 3, 2005 compared to six months ended July 27, 2004



Net sales for the six months ending July 3, 2005 were $11,808,000 versus net sales of $10,592,000 for the same fiscal period in 2004.  The $1,216,000, or 11.5%, increase in net sales compared to 2004 reflected stronger sales of constant velocity axles, heavy duty, agricultural, and air conditioning products.  Carburetor sales in the first half of 2005 were also moderately higher than the same period of 2004.  Total product and core returns, which are accounted for as reductions to gross sales, were 23.2% and 23.3% of gross sales for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Product and core returns are accounted for on an accrual basis driven by gross sales.



Carburetor net sales were 45.1% and 47.4% of total net sales, respectively, for the first half of 2005 and 2004. Even though new vehicles sold are no longer equipped with carburetors in the United States and Canada, the Company continues to sell replacement units for older vehicles, which predominantly use carburetors.  The Company expects that the market for carburetors will decline in future periods.  In addition, carburetor margins may be negatively impacted in the future as customers accelerate product returns during periods of declining demand.



Cost of products sold was $9,980,000, or 84.5%, of net sales for 2005 as compared to $8,528,000, or 80.5%, for the first half of 2004.  The $1,452,000, increase versus 2004 is primarily due to significantly higher sales, product mix and increased costs of raw materials.  Prices increased in 2005 for purchased materials that are petroleum based.



Selling, distribution and administrative expenses year-to-date in 2005 were $1,140,000 compared to $1,354,000 in the same period of 2004. The spending decrease of $214,000 primarily reflects the elimination of residual operating costs recorded in administrative overhead last year for the idle Pennsylvania facility (taxes, insurance and utilities), sold in June of 2004.  Administrative salaries and associated fringe costs were also lower than last year.



Operating income for the first half was $688,000, compared to $710,000 for the first half of 2004.  The operating income decrease versus 2004 is attributed to higher cost of products sold.



Interest expense of $322,000 for the six months was up $22,000 over 2004, reflecting higher interest rates. On March 18, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit, Loan and Security Agreement with PNC Bank. The amendment set forth the terms for temporary modification of the revolving interest rate from 0.25% to 1.25% above bank prime through April 12, 2005; the terms for temporary over-formula advances resulting from a change in the Lenders interpreting the formula for calculating Eligible Receivables; the definition of collateral monitoring fees; and the redefinition of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant from a quarterly basis to a rolling twelve month basis.  Interest rates have subsequently returned to the level originally specified in the Loan Agreement.  Bank prime (6.25% on July 3, 2004) is significantly higher compared to 2004 (4.00% on June 27, 2004).



Non-operating income for the period was $86,000 versus $256,000 recorded in 2004, a $170,000 decrease. At the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Company met job expansion incentives and the $250,000 City of Hope, Arkansas note was forgiven. In 2005, the company earned $78,000 in rebates from the State of Arkansas for meeting job expansion incentives.



Net income was $416,000 for the first six months versus $657,000 for 2004.  The $241,000, or 36.7% decline, primarily reflects the recognition of the $250,000 loan forgiveness in last years net income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES



The Company's financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies that require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Management believes that the following points are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that currently affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related contingent liabilities.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates for propriety, including those related to revenues, accounts receivable and inventory reserves, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.  The Company bases its reserve estimates on historical experience, current market and operating trends, and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current operating circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company recognizes sales when products are shipped.  Net sales reflect deductions for cores returned for credit and other customary returns and allowances.  Such deductions and returns and allowances are recorded currently based upon continuing customer relationships and other criteria.  The Company's customers are encouraged to trade-in rebuildable cores for products that are included in the Company's current product line.



Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  At July 3, 2005, the Companys deferred tax asset consisted principally of net inventory reserves and net operating loss carryforwards.  The Companys deferred tax asset has been reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be fully utilized.



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123, as revised, requires recognition of the cost of employee services provided in exchange for stock options and similar equity instruments based on the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. Statement 123, as originally issued, is effective until the provisions of Statement 123(R) are fully adopted. Statement 123(R) is effective the beginning of the next fiscal year. The Company will adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2006 and begin recognizing compensation expense related to stock options should any be issued.



In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS No. 151).  SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  The Company does not expect the adoption of the statement to have a material effect on its financial statements, which is effective with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Liquidity Overview



On March 18, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit, Loan and Security Agreement. Amendment No. 1 set forth the terms for temporary modification of the revolving interest rate from 0.25% to 1.25% above bank prime through April 12, 2005; the terms for temporary over-formula advances resulting from a change in the Lenders interpreting the formula for calculating Eligible Receivables; the definition of collateral monitoring fees; and the redefinition of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant from a quarterly basis to a rolling twelve month basis. The Company has met all of the thresholds and terms of Amendment No.1 and returned to positive borrowing availability prior to the April 12, 2005 date specified in the Amendment. Interest rates have subsequently returned to the original level specified in the Loan Agreement, 0.25% above bank prime (6.25%).



At July 3, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the amended fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.



Management believes that the Company will be able to finance its working capital needs in the current year and the foreseeable future through the use of borrowings and cash flows generated from operations.

Working Capital



Net working capital at July 3, 2005 was $8,673,000 compared to $10,994,000 at December 31, 2004. The reduction of $2,321,000 primarily reflects lower net inventories and higher trade accounts payable.



Compared to the June 27, 2004 net working capital balance of $6,370,000, the increase of $2,303,000 reflects significant increases in trade accounts receivable and lower maturities of long term debt.



Net trade accounts receivable at July 3, 2005 were $10,267,000, a decrease of $143,000 versus the year-end 2004 balance of $10,410,000.  The decrease in the Company's accounts receivable balances at quarter-end versus the year-end primarily reflects an increase in reserve for bad debt.



When compared to the June 27, 2004 trade receivables balance of $8,439,000, the quarter-end balance is $1,828,000 higher reflecting the increased sales in the second quarter of 2005.



Net inventories of $11,819,000 at July 3, 2005 were $891,000 lower as compared to the year-end 2004 balance of $12,710,000.  The decrease in net inventory primarily reflects a $1,287,000 decrease in finished goods. Although raw core, work-in-process and parts inventories decreased in the second quarter, the balances were up slightly compared to year-end 2004. The change in inventory levels is due to a concerted effort to reduce on-hand balances.



Compared to the June 27, 2004 balance of $12,604,000, inventories are $785,000 lower for the same reason.



Accounts payable at July 3, 2005 were $8,881,000 compared to a balance at year-end 2004 of $8,001,000. The $880,000 increase in accounts payable is due to the higher net trade accounts payable which have resulted from increased raw materials spending in the past period.



Compared to the June 27, 2004 balance of $8,751,000, accounts payable have increased $130,000 for the same reason.



Accrued expenses of $4,988,000 were up $155,000 from the fiscal year-end 2004 balance of $4,833,000, principally reflecting increased reserves for customer returns based upon higher sales during the first half.



Compared to the June 27, 2004 balance of $4,758,000, accrued expenses are higher by $230,000 for the same reason mentioned above.

Debt



On August 10, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year secure revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, replacing the Congress Financial Corporation credit facility.  Maximum credit available under the new PNC facility is $14,000,000, including available letter of credit accommodations of $1,000,000.  The interest rate on the revolving debt facility is lender prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 2%, and for letters of credit, the rate is 3.25% per annum on the daily outstanding balance.





20





---





Also on August 10, 2004, the Company entered into a commercial property loan on its Hope, Arkansas properties with Elk Horn Bank and Trust Company acting as lead bank for a group of five lending institutions.  The loan with Elk Horn is for $900,000, with seven-year amortization and an interest rate of New York prime plus 2% adjusted quarterly.



On March 18, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit, Loan and Security Agreement dated August 10, 2004 with PNC Bank, National Association. Amendment No. 1 set forth the terms for temporary modification of the revolving interest rate from 0.25% to 1.25% above bank prime through April 12, 2005; the terms for temporary over-formula advances resulting from a change in the Lenders interpreting the formula for calculating Eligible Receivables, the definition of collateral monitoring fees and the redefinition of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant from a quarterly basis to a rolling twelve month basis. Interest rates have subsequently returned to the original level specified in the Loan Agreement, 0.25% above bank prime (6.25%).



At July 3, 2005, the balance outstanding on the Companys revolver loan facility with PNC Bank, National Association was $7,384,000 and letter of credit accommodations were $40,000. Also at July 3, 2005, the balance outstanding on the Companys commercial mortgage loan with Elk Horn Bank was $814,000. The total of the loan balances was $8,198,000, which compares to total loan balances at December 31, 2004 of $11,061,000 and letter of credit accommodations of $40,000.



At July 3, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the amended fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.





SEASONALITY



The Company's business is slightly seasonal in nature, primarily as a result of the impact of weather conditions and the agricultural cycle on the demand for certain automotive and agricultural replacement parts.  Historically, the Company's sales and profits are generally the highest in the first half of the year trending down through the summer months.





FUTURE OUTLOOK



The additional revenue from the sales of air conditioning products has partially mitigated the declining carburetor product line sales during the past three years. Management is pursuing other new products and additional markets for existing products. This includes internal new product development as well as acquisition opportunities.



Management believes that the Company will be able to finance its working capital needs in the current year and the foreseeable future through the use of borrowings and cash flows generated from operations.

FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS



This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the statements under "Future Outlook" and to the following:



The competitive environment has caused and is continuing to cause changes in the distribution channels between volume retailers and traditional warehouse/distributors. The Company has diversified its customer base and currently serves all major aftermarket segments, including large volume automotive retailers, original equipment manufacturers of automotive equipment and automotive warehouse distributors. The decline in carburetor product sales over the longer term could impact future results.  The Company expects growth in air conditioning product sales to partially offset this impact. There is no assurance that sales of air conditioning products will increase, or, if they do, that any increase will exceed the decreases in carburetor sales or the contribution of carburetor sales to net income.



The Companys six largest customers accounted for a total of 84% of the Companys net sales in the six months ending July 3, 2005, with the four largest customers aggregating 72% of the total. For the same period in 2004, the Companys six largest customers accounted for a total of 82% of the Companys net sales, with the four largest customers comprising 75% of the total. A significant reduction in the level of net sales or the loss of a large customer could have a materially adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.



While the Company has established reserves for potential environmental liabilities that it believes to be adequate, there can be no assurance that the reserves will be adequate to cover actual costs incurred or that the Company will not incur additional environmental liabilities in the future.



Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements.





OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



The Company has credit facilities that bear interest at various rates based on the bank prime rate. Interest on $8,198,000, or 81.0%, of the Company's debt was variable based on the lenders prime rate. Consequently, a general increase of 1% in the lenders prime rate would result in additional interest cost of approximately $81,980 if the same debt level and structure were to be maintained.







ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





The Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely providing them with material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal controls.
