                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                   (unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments except for those charges discussed
in Notes 10 and 11) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Financial Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". This
statement amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain
derivative instruments and for certain hedging activities. The Company adopted
SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 on January 1, 2001. The effect of the adoption of these
pronouncements was a reduction of approximately $3.0 million ($4.9 million
pre-tax) to other comprehensive income attributable to the net liability to be
recorded for cash flow hedges.

         The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements to
effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt in
order to reduce the Company's exposure to movements in interest rates. These
instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of the
Company's variable-rate debt, in order to achieve a ratio of fixed to floating
rate debt in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. The Company
is not currently aware of any events that will cause amounts recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income to be reclassified into earnings.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording
intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a
nonamortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain
intangibles. Under a nonamortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles
will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed
for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the
periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more
than its fair value. The provisions of each statement which apply to goodwill
and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001 will be adopted by the
Company on January 1, 2002. The Company expects the adoption of these accounting
standards will have the impact of reducing amortization of goodwill and
intangibles commencing January 1, 2002; however, impairment reviews may result
in future periodic write-downs. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which requires that the fair
value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the
period in which it is incurred and the associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143
is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", which requires all long-lived assets classified as held for sale to
be valued at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell and which broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include
more disposal transactions. SFAS 144 is effective for years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
adoption of each of these standards will have on its consolidated financial
statements.

             For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income

         Total comprehensive income is comprised of net income, foreign currency
translation gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses on marketable
securities and derivative financial instruments. Total comprehensive income for
the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $2,633 and $842,
respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $(114,622) and $19,875, respectively.

Note 4 - Earnings Per Share

         The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation
of diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing and, in addition, the
exercise of all stock options and restricted units, using the treasury stock
method.


         The shares outstanding used for basic and diluted earnings per common
share are reconciled as follows:

         For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, options to
purchase 2,781,000 and 389,500 shares, respectively, of common stock and for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, options to purchase 869,933 shares
of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
common share because the exercise price was greater than the average market
price of the common shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
options and restricted units were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

Allocations

         Prior to its acquisition, Digital was a division of Prestolite Wire
Corporation. Prestolite provided certain services to Digital such as accounting,
legal, human resources, information technology and other corporate services. The
accompanying statements of operations include allocations of $2,292 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense of $3,518 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000, has been charged to Digital based on a net
assets basis utilizing Prestolite's effective interest rate and the cash flows
of Digital. These allocations were made consistently in each period prior to
GenTek's acquisition of Digital, and management believes the allocations are
reasonable. However, such allocations are not necessarily indicative of the
level of expenses that might have been incurred had Digital been operating as a
stand-alone entity or which might be expected to be incurred as part of GenTek.

Note 10 -  Restructuring and Impairment Charges

         On May 9, 2001 the Company announced a restructuring program,
consisting of a workforce reduction, several plant closings and the
discontinuation of certain product lines. During the second quarter, the Company
recorded restructuring charges of $24,395 consisting of: $12,072 related to
employee termination costs for approximately 1,600 employees; $10,622 associated
with the write-down of assets resulting from plant closings and product line
discontinuance; and $1,701 related primarily to lease obligations and other
closure costs at facilities that will no longer be used. During the third
quarter, the Company recorded additional restructuring charges of $2,910,
related entirely to employee termination costs for an additional 160 employees.
The employee terminations impacted all of the Company's business segments, with
the majority in the Manufacturing and Communications segments. As of September
30, 2001, approximately 800 employees have been terminated pursuant to the
restructuring program. The following tables summarize the Company's accruals
for restructuring costs:

         Due to operating losses being experienced in certain of the Company's
operations, during the second quarter management performed a comprehensive
review of the Company's operations in order to assess the recoverability of its
long-lived assets. As a result of this review, the Company recorded non-cash
asset impairment charges of $83,623. These charges relate primarily to nine
facilities in the Performance Products segment and certain intangible assets in
the Communications segment. The charge for one of these facilities resulted from
a principal customer's decision to close its plant. The fair value of the assets
at this facility was determined based upon an appraisal. The charges for the
other facilities resulted from changes in the principal markets served by these
units. The fair value of the assets was determined based upon a calculation of
the present value of expected future cash flows.

Note 11 - Other Charges

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

         Included in selling, general and administrative expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 is a $26,320 charge principally related to a
loss provision for accounts receivable for customers who have recently filed for
bankruptcy or whose current financial condition and payment history indicate
payment is doubtful. The Company will continue to monitor the status of these
accounts and further adjustments may be necessary.

Cost of Sales

         Included in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
is a $16,431 charge principally related to a loss provision for obsolete and
excess inventory due to a significant decline in actual and forecasted revenue
for certain of the Company's product lines as well as the discontinuation of
certain of the Company's product lines.

Note 12 - Summarized Financial Information

         The Company's Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of the
Company's wholly owned, domestic subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors"). The
non-guarantor subsidiaries are foreign.

         The following condensed consolidating financial information illustrates
the composition of the combined Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company believes that
the separate complete financial statements of the respective guarantors would
not provide additional material information which would be useful in assessing
the financial composition of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

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

         This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might
cause such a difference include those discussed in the section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Forward-Looking Statements" contained in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Results of Operations

         Net revenues for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2001 decreased by $63 million and $111 million, respectively, over the
comparable prior year levels. The decrease for the third quarter is principally
due to lower volumes in the Communications segment and the Manufacturing segment
reflecting the economic slowdown in the Telecommunications and Automotive
industries. The year-to-date decrease primarily reflects lower volumes in the
Manufacturing and Communications segments reflecting the economic slowdown,
partially offset by higher sales in the Performance Products segment,
principally due to higher volumes in the environmental services and technology
markets.

         Gross profit for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2001 decreased by $32 million and $92 million, respectively, over the comparable
prior year periods. The decrease for the quarter reflects the lower volumes in
the Communications and Manufacturing segments and lower pricing in the
Manufacturing segment. On a year-to-date basis the decrease reflects the above
mentioned lower volumes in the Communications and Manufacturing segments, lower
pricing in the Manufacturing segment and a $16 million charge to cost of sales
recorded in the second quarter principally due to obsolete and excess inventory,
discontinued products and fixed asset write-offs.

         Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $5 million and
increased by $25 million, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the prior year levels. The decrease for
the third quarter reflects the impact of headcount reductions and lower
spending. On a year-to-date basis the increase primarily reflects a $26 million
charge the Company recorded in the second quarter principally due to a loss
provision for accounts receivable for customers who have filed for bankruptcy or
whose current financial condition and payment history indicate payment is
doubtful. The Company is continuing to monitor the status of these accounts and
further adjustments may be necessary.

         Interest expense was $19 million and $56 million for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. These amounts
approximate the previous year levels with higher average outstanding debt
balances being offset by the effect of lower interest rates on the Company's
floating rate debt.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

         As announced on May 9, 2001, the Company approved a plan to
reduce its workforce, close several plants and discontinue certain product
lines. Further, due to operating losses being experienced in certain of the
Company's operations, during the second quarter management performed a
comprehensive review of the Company's operations in order to assess the
recoverability of its long-lived assets. As a result of the above actions, the
Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges of approximately $108
million during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and an additional $3 million
during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The $111 million is comprised of


                                      -16-

$15 million related to employee termination costs, $10 million for asset
writedowns related to management's decision to exit a business, $2 million for
lease obligations and other closure costs for facilities which will no longer be
used, and $84 million of asset impairment charges related to long-lived assets
utilized in the Company's Performance Products and Communications segments. The
Company expects to substantially complete implementation of its restructuring
program by the end of the first quarter of 2002. Cash payments charged against
the restructuring liability totaled $5 million for employee termination costs
and $0.8 million for facility exit costs in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001. Management expects that cash outlays related to the
restructuring program will be substantially completed by the end of 2002.
Management intends to fund these cash outlays from cash flow generated by
operations. Management expects that the actions described above will result in
an estimated reduction of annual depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $8 million and an estimated reduction in employee and facility
related expense and cash flows of approximately $25 to $30 million. The Company
began to realize these reductions in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.
Management does not believe that the restructuring program will have a material
impact on revenues. During the remainder of 2001 the Company will continue to
review its operations, and in conjunction with this review may record additional
restructuring charges to tailor its cost structure to current economic
conditions. In addition, the Company will continue to evaluate the
recoverability of its assets, which may result in additional charges.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash and cash equivalents were $7 million at September 30, 2001
compared with $4 million at year end 2000. During the first nine months of 2001,
the Company generated cash flow from operations of $20 million and had net
proceeds from long-term debt of $44 million, which was used to make capital
expenditures of $63 million.

         The Company had working capital of $127 million at September 30, 2001
as compared with $142 million at December 31, 2000. This decrease reflects
provisions for bad debt, inventory obsolescence and severance as previously
discussed and higher current portion of long-term debt, partially offset by the
related deferred taxes.

         The Company's senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks and
other financial institutions consists of $500 million of term loans and a $300
million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $140
million in borrowings, letters of credit of $29 million and the ability to
borrow an additional $131 million, under its revolving credit facility. On
August 1, 2001, the Company entered into an amendment of its credit facility
which made certain modifications to the financial covenants and other terms of
the credit facility. As a result of such amendments, the interest rate on $198
million of term loans has been increased by 0.50%, on $291 million of term loans
by 0.75% and on the borrowings under the revolving facility by 0.75%. These
amendments provide for less restrictive financial covenants for the second half
of 2001 and for 2002 in exchange for more restrictive covenants regarding
restricted payments, investments, incurrence of indebtedness, sales of assets
and related matters through the end of 2002. In addition, the lenders were
given a security interest in certain real property, intellectual property and
other assets of the Company in the United States and Canada. As of September 30,
2001, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants provided for
in its senior credit facility. Future compliance will be dependent upon a
number of factors, including the overall level of global economic activity,
future conditions in the Company's principal end markets and the Company's
future borrowing requirements.

         Management believes that cash flows and borrowings under the revolving
portion of its credit facility will be sufficient to cover future interest
expense, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and
broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill.
SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a nonamortization approach to account for
purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a nonamortization approach,
goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of
operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and
charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value
of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The provisions
of each statement which apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior
to June 30, 2001 will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. The Company
expects the adoption of these accounting standards will have the impact of
reducing amortization of goodwill and intangibles commencing January 1, 2002;
however, impairment reviews may result in future periodic write-downs. In
July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations", which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred and
the associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying
amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143 is effective for years beginning after
June 15, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which requires all long-lived
assets classified as held for sale to be valued at the lower of their carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell and which broadens the presentation of
discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. SFAS 144 is
effective for years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that adoption of each of these standards will have on its
consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

         The Company's cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations
resulting from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and the Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage
these risks. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates is to reduce volatility on
earnings and cash flow associated with such changes. The Company has not
entered, and does not intend to enter, into financial instruments for
speculation or trading purposes.

         The Company measures the market risk related to its holding of
financial instruments based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency
rates using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the
potential loss in fair values, cash flows and earnings based on a hypothetical
10 percent change in interest and currency exchange rates. The Company used
current market rates on its debt and derivative portfolio to perform the
sensitivity analysis. Such analysis indicates that a hypothetical 10 percent
change in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates would not have a
material impact on the fair values, cash flows or earnings of the Company.
