PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. Metaldyne Corporation (the "Company or "we) is a leading global diversified industrial manufacturer of highly engineered products for transportation, industrial and consumer markets. Our products include metal-formed and precision-engineered components and modular systems used in vehicle engine, transmission and driveline applications, specialty fasteners, towing systems, packaging and sealing products and other industrial products. We serve a broad range of over 150 automotive and industrial customers, including Amoco, Bayer, BMW, Boeing, Dana, DaimlerChrysler, Dow Chemical, Ford, Visteon, General Motors, Delphi, Honda, John Deere, Johns Manville, New Venture Gear, TRW, U-Haul and Wal-Mart. We operate through two business groups -our Metal Forming Group, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of our sales, and our Diversified Industrial Product Group, which accounts for the remaining one-third of our sales. In November 2000, we were acquired by an investor group led by Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. ("Heartland") and Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB") in a recapitalization transaction. Heartland is a private equity fund established to "buy, build and grow" industrial companies in sectors with attractive consolidation opportunities. We believe the recapitalization and Heartland's investment in us will allow us to aggressively pursue internal growth opportunities and strategic acquisitions and to increase the scale and profitability of our businesses. In our Metal Forming Group, an important trend in our markets is that of automotive original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, seeking to outsource their metal component design, engineering, fabrication and assembly functions. As a leading supplier of highly engineered metal parts with strong machining, assembly and module capabilities, we believe we are positioned to provide an integrated, full service solution to the engine, transmission and driveline components and module needs of our customers. We plan to add capabilities, through internal investment and select acquisitions, in additional metals and processes (such as ductile iron, aluminum and magnesium) to enhance our full service offering We intend to also grow our diversified industrial products businesses through internal investment and acquisitions of businesses that share key characteristics with our existing diversified businesses. We believe our diversified businesses share highly focused product strategies based on proprietary capabilities, strong market share positions and high operating margins. OUR BUSINESS GROUPS We operate through two business groups -- Metal Forming and Diversified Industrial Products. Both groups have businesses with leading market shares, state-of-the-art technologies and superior product quality. METAL FORMING GROUP. Our Metal Forming Group manufactures a broad range of engineered metal products used in automotive and industrial applications and combines capabilities in engineering, design, machining and assembly. The Metal Forming Group's sales are primarily to light vehicle OEMs and component assemblers, but also include other customers in the aerospace, heavy truck, construction, general industrial and consumer markets. The Metal Forming Group's products include cold, warm and hot forged products, forged and conventional powdered metal products and tubular fabricated products used in engine, transmission and drivetrain components, assemblies and sub-assemblies. In addition, the Metal Forming Group manufactures specialty fasteners, compressed gas cylinders and other metal-formed products used in a variety of industrial applications The Metal Forming group has the leading North American market share in several of its key products, including hot forgings, powder metal connecting rods, and forged shafts and is the second largest independent "machining and assembly" supplier. We have added strong capabilities in machining and sub-assembly and light metals through the acquisition of Simpson Industries, Inc. ("Simpson") in December 2000 and a strategic relationship with Global Metal Technologies, Inc. ("GMTI"), which was acquired by Heartland in January 2001. As a result of the Simpson acquisition, we add world class machining and assembly capabilities and can offer OEM customers an integrated solution for their needs by combining design, engineering, metal forming, 1 machining and sub-assembly capabilities. Through our strategic relationship with GMTI, which is a leading provider of precision aluminum die castings, we have added forming capabilities in aluminum, which is experiencing strong growth due to its lightweight characteristics. The Simpson acquisition and the GMTI relationship will provide us with opportunities to reduce costs in certain sales, marketing, administration and overhead functions and to improve operational efficiency. DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT GROUP. Our Diversified Industrial Products Group manufactures towing and related accessories as well as a broad range of products used in industrial applications. The Diversified Industrial Product Group's towing and accessories products include trailer hitches, hitch mounted accessories, jacks, couplers and winches, roof racks and related electrical products. These products are sold to customers such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart and U-Haul. Specialty industrial products include closures and dispensing products, gaskets, insulation products and precision cutting tools for a wide variety of customers in the chemical, refining, container, construction and other industries. Key customers include Dow, BASF, Bayer, Pepsi, Sherwin Williams, Exxon Mobil, Lyondell, Chevron. OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES Our goal in the Metal Forming Group is to become the leading supplier of high quality, low cost metal formed components, assemblies and modules to the global transportation industry. As a result of the competitive pressures on automotive manufacturers to improve quality and reduce costs, time to market, overhead and inventory, several trends have emerged which are important to our strategy, including: (i) the desire of OEM's and certain Tier 1 suppliers to outsource the design and manufacture of metal parts in engine, transmission and driveline applications, (ii) increasing demand for fully-integrated modular assemblies, and (iii) the globalization and consolidation of the supply base. Our strategy to capitalize on these trends includes the following elements: o CAPITALIZE ON FULL-SERVICE, INTEGRATED SUPPLY OPPORTUNITIES. We intend to leverage our strengths in forged steel and powder metal components by adding metal capabilities in ductile iron foundry, aluminum foundry and aluminum and magnesium die casting. By offering a full complement of metal solutions we believe we will be able to offer OEMs "one-stop" shopping to optimize weight, cost, stress, durability, fatigue resistance and other metal component attributes. With the largest North American market shares in certain engineered forging and powder metal application, and the second largest non-captive machining and assembly capability, we believe we have a competitive advantage in becoming a fully integrated supplier. Our capabilities in engineering, design, machining and assembly, position us to capture a greater share of the "value chain" and deliver customers finished sub-assemblies and modules rather than independent parts. Recently we have had opportunities to pursue new business opportunities utilizing our integrated capabilities to supply a larger percentage of the value added content of certain applications which could result in significant increases in content per vehicle on related programs. o INVEST IN ENGINEERING, DESIGN AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. We plan to continue investing in technology and design capability to support our products. We believe that in order to effectively develop total metal component and assembly solutions it is necessary to integrate research, development, and design elements with product fabrication, machining, finishing and assembly. We believe that our larger scale and broader product line relative to several of our competitors will enable us to more efficiently invest in information technology and develop a significant competitive advantage. In addition, we plan to implement advanced information technology systems to enable us to reduce overhead and administrative expenses. o PURSUE GLOBAL EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES. Global expansion is an important component of our growth strategy. A significant portion of the global market for engineered metal parts is outside of North America. Further, as OEM's continue to consolidate their supply base, they are looking for global suppliers that can provide seamless product delivery across geographic production regions. We believe our size, strong market shares in North America and customer relationships uniquely position us to capitalize on this trend. 2 o CAPTURE BENEFITS FROM ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND OPERATING SYNERGIES. As we grow our businesses, we will seek to improve our sourcing costs for key commodity inputs, such as primary and secondary scrap, hot bar and rod and other key raw material components for our Metal Forming Group. In addition, as a larger company we will be able to spread our engineering and product development costs over a larger sales base. Furthermore, acquisitions and strategic relationships typically present opportunities for cost reductions through operational efficiency. Through the Simpson acquisition and the GMTI relationship, we have already developed customer-based marketing teams, identified overhead that can be shared and targeted opportunities for restructuring and coordination of design, engineering, administrative and raw material purchasing functions. Our strategy in the Diversified Industrial Group is to aggressively pursue internal growth opportunities and selected strategic acquisitions to create a significant portfolio of industrial businesses that share common and complementary characteristics, including proprietary technologies, market leadership in niche industrial markets, strong brand names, high operating margins, strong free cash flow generation and above average growth opportunities. Several businesses have significant growth opportunities related to new product development and expansion into new markets. In addition, we believe there are significant opportunities to reduce overhead and administrative costs across these businesses though the use of information technology and shared services. We also believe we can reduce operating costs by combining and rationalizing certain operations. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS THE RECAPITALIZATION. On November 28, 2000, we completed a recapitalization transaction which resulted in an investor group led by Heartland and CSFB acquiring control of our company. Pursuant to the recapitalization, our publicly traded common stock was converted into the right to receive $16.90 in cash plus additional cash amounts, if any, based upon the net proceeds from any future disposition of the stock of Saturn Electronics & Engineering Inc. owned by us. Only holders of our common stock at the time of the recapitalization will be entitled to proceeds from any disposition of our Saturn stock. Investors in the common stock offered hereby will not be entitled to receive any Saturn proceeds. In connection with the recapitalization, certain of our stockholders, primarily Masco Corporation and Richard A. Manoogian and the related Richard and Jane Manoogian Foundation, agreed to roll over a portion of their investment in us and consequently remain as stockholders in Metaldyne. The recapitalization, the repayment of certain of our existing indebtedness and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the recapitalization was financed through approximately (1) $435 million in equity financing provided by Heartland and its affiliates, investment funds associated with CSFB, and other equity co-investors, (2) $123.8 million of proceeds from the sale of certain equity investments owned by us, (3) $1,016 million from borrowings under our credit facility and (4) $118.5 million of proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to a new accounts receivable facility. SIMPSON ACQUISITION. On December 15, 2000, we acquired Simpson for total consideration of approximately $365 million, including fees and expenses and the assumption of indebtedness. Simpson is a designer and manufacturer of precision-engineered automotive components and modular systems for passenger and sport utility vehicles, light-and heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines. We believe that Simpson will further enhance our vertical integration in the metal forming industry. The acquisition of Simpson, the repayment of certain indebtedness of Simpson and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of Simpson was funded with approximately (1) $126 million in additional common equity financing provided by Heartland and other equity co-investors, (2) $203 million from borrowings under our credit facility ($200 million in term loans and $3 million in revolving credit borrowings) and (3) $36 million from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to our accounts receivable facility. Subsequent to the acquisition of Simpson we repaid approximately $50.0 million of term loans with the proceeds from certain sale-leaseback transactions. STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH GLOBAL METALS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. In January 2001, Heartland acquired GMTI, a leading supplier of aluminum die cast components to the automotive industry. We intend to explore a range of opportunities for realizing benefits from our affiliation with GMTI, including a possible 3 merger of GMTI into our operations in the future. The timing and terms of any such transaction are uncertain and we reserve the right not to pursue it. To achieve the strategic value of our affiliation with GMTI, we entered into a strategic services agreement with GMTI. Under this agreement, we and GMTI provide one another with extensive support and services at cost and are coordinating raw material and energy purchases. Our arrangements also include joint sales and marketing programs and initiatives. OPERATING SEGMENTS The following table sets forth for the three years ended December 31, the net sales and operating profit for our operating segments, (includes Simpson Industries in the Metal Forming Group from date of acquisition, December 15, 2000).

OUR PRODUCTS Our product lines within our two primary operating groups, Metal Forming Group and Diversified Industrial Product Group, are described below. METAL FORMING GROUP Specialty Metal Formed Products. We manufacture specialty metal formed products for engine and drivetrain applications, including semi-finished transmission shafts, drive gears, engine connecting rods, wheel spindles and front wheel drive components. Our metal formed products are manufactured using 4 various process technologies, including cold, warm and hot forming, powder metalworking, value-added machining and tubular steel fabricating. We believe that our metal forming technologies provide cost-competitive, high-performance, quality components required to meet the increasing demands of the automotive and truck transportation markets. Machining and Assembly. With the acquisition of Simpson, the Metal Forming Group now designs and manufactures precision-engineered automotive components and modular systems for passenger and sport utility vehicles, light-and heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines. We also design and manufacture torsional crankshaft dampers, which reduce and eliminate engine and drivetrain noise and vibration. We produce integrated front engine cover subassemblies that combine items such as the oil and water pumps, providing OEMs with a simplified process by which to attach the water and oil pumps to the front engine cover subsystem and lower assembly costs. Modular engine products include oil pumps, front engine modular assemblies and water pumps, all of which impact engine durability, reliability and life expectancy. We also produce wheel spindles, steering knuckles and hub assemblies, all of which are key components affecting the smoothness of a driver's ride and the handling and safety of an automobile. We distribute and sell our machining and assembly products principally to OEMs in North America and Europe through our own sales force. Specialty Fasteners and Other Metal Forming. Our specialty fasteners products include standard-and custom-designed ferrous, nonferrous and special alloy fasteners for the building construction, farm implement, medium-and heavy-duty truck, appliance, aerospace, electronics and other industries. We also provide metal treating services for manufacturers of fasteners and similar products. Specialty fasteners are sold through our own sales personnel and independent sales representatives to both distributors and manufacturers in these industries. DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT GROUP Towing Systems. We manufacture towing and trailering system products, including vehicle hitches, trailer jacks, winches, couplers and related accessories for the passenger car, light truck, recreational vehicle, trailer, marine, agricultural and industrial markets. Towing systems products are sold to independent installers, distributors, manufacturers and retailers by our sales organization and independent sales representatives. Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products. We manufacture specialty packaging and sealing products, including industrial and consumer container closures and dispensing products primarily for the chemical, agricultural, refining, food, petrochemical and health care industries; and specialty industrial gaskets for refining, petrochemical and other industrial applications. Sales of specialty packaging and sealing products are made by our own sales staff primarily to container manufacturers, industrial gas producers, refineries and independent distributors. Specialty Industrial Products. Our specialty industrial products include flame-retardant facings and jacketings used in conjunction with fiberglass insulation for commercial, industrial and residential construction applications, pressure-sensitive specialty tape products and a variety of specialty precision tools such as center drills, cutters, end mills and gauges. These products are marketed to manufacturers and distributors by our sales personnel and independent sales representatives. CUSTOMERS In 2000, approximately 44 percent of our sales were direct to original equipment manufacturers. Sales to various divisions and subsidiaries of New Venture Gear, Inc. accounted for approximately 11 percent of our net sales. Except for these sales, no material portion of our business is dependent upon any one customer, although we are subject to those risks inherent in having a focus on automotive products generally. MATERIALS AND SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS In general, raw materials required by us have been obtainable from various sources and in the quantities desired. 5 COMPETITION The major domestic and foreign markets for our products are highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on price, product engineering, performance, technology, quality and overall customer service, with the relative importance of such factors varying among products. Our global competitors include a large number of other well-established independent manufacturers as well as certain customers who have their own internal manufacturing and assembly capabilities. Although a number of companies of varying size compete with us, no single competitor is in substantial competition with us with respect to more than a few of our product lines and services. EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS As of December 31, 2000, we employed approximately 11,600 people, of which approximately 27 percent were unionized (principally United Auto Workers). Approximately 20 percent of our employees were located outside the U.S. Employee relations have generally been satisfactory. A strike lasting from July 1997 to June 1998 involved approximately 140 employees at the Fraser, Michigan plant and was related to a planned significant reduction in headcount, resulting from our desire to further automate our production process. The strike was settled, resulting in the anticipated headcount reduction and automation. SEASONALITY; BACKLOG Sales by our Towing Systems segment are generally stronger in the first and second quarters, as distributors and retailers acquire product for the spring selling season; no other operating segment experiences significant seasonal fluctuation in its business. We do not consider backlog orders to be a material factor in our operating segments. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to pollution and protection of the environment governing among other things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials, and remediation of contaminated sites. Several of our subsidiaries were named as potentially responsible parties in several sites requiring clean-up based on the disposal of wastes they generated. We have entered into consent decrees relating to two sites in California along with the many other co-defendants in these matters. We have incurred expenses for all these sites over a number of years, a portion of which has been covered by insurance. In addition to the foregoing, our businesses have incurred expenses to clean up company-owned or leased property. Such expenditures in the past have not had a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash-flow. We believe that our business, operations and facilities are being operated in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, many of which provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. The operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, however, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in the future. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws, regulations or requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS We hold a number of patents, patent applications, licenses, trademarks and trade names. We consider our patents, patent applications, licenses, trademarks and trade names to be valuable, but do not believe that there is any reasonable likelihood of a loss of such rights that would have a material adverse effect on our operating segments or on our present business as a whole. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS We have operations located in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and Spain. Products manufactured by us outside of the United States include 6 forged and machined parts products for automotive customers, powder metal connecting rods, constant-velocity joints, specialty packaging and sealing products and towing systems products. Our foreign operations are subject to political, monetary, economic and other risks attendant generally to international businesses. These risks generally vary from country to country. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. Our principal manufacturing facilities range in size from approximately 10,000 square feet to 420,000 square feet, substantially all of which are owned by us, and many of which are subject to liens under our credit facility. Our executive offices are located in Plymouth, Michigan. Our buildings, machinery and equipment have been generally well maintained, are in good operating condition and are adequate for current production requirements. The following list sets forth the location of our principal manufacturing facilities and identifies the principal operating segment utilizing such facilities.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Five purported stockholder class action lawsuits have been filed against us, each of our directors and Masco Corporation, in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of our unaffiliated stockholders, in connection with the recapitalization. The lawsuits, although not identical, allege, among other things, that (1) the directors breached their fiduciary duties to our stockholders through an unfair process of negotiating the recapitalization agreement and unfair and inadequate consideration and (2) Heartland and the continuing stockholders unfairly possessed nonpublic information when negotiating the recapitalization agreement. The lawsuits further allege that these actions by us prevented or could prevent our stockholders from realizing the full and fair value of their stock. On November 3, 2000, the parties to these lawsuits entered into a Memorandum of Understanding concerning the terms of a proposed settlement of these lawsuits. In connection with a proposed settlement, (a) we and Riverside Company L.L.C. agreed to amend the recapitalization agreement to provide, among other things, for a possible increase in the amount payable to our stockholders from the proceeds of the disposition of Saturn stock, (b) the special committee of the Board of Directors agreed that, as the members of the adjustment committee (charged with the responsibility to dispose of the Saturn stock) after the recapitalization merger, they will continue to have fiduciary duties, as directors of the Delaware corporation, to our stockholders entitled to receive any proceeds of the sale of the Saturn stock, (c) the special committee agreed that the plaintiffs' counsel will from time to time receive reports from the advisors to the adjustment committee regarding such sale, and (d) MascoTech provided plaintiffs' counsel with an opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure provided to MascoTech stockholders in the proxy statement that was mailed to our stockholders on or about October 26, 2000. The proposed settlement is subject to approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery. A civil suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in April, 1983 by the United States of America and the State of California against over 30 defendants, including a subsidiary of ours, for alleged release into the environment of hazardous waste disposed of at the Stringfellow Disposal Site in California. The plaintiffs have requested, among other things, that the defendants clean up the contamination at that site. A consent decree has been entered into by the plaintiffs and the defendants, including us, providing that the consenting parties perform partial remediation at the site. Another civil suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in December 1988 by the United States of America and the State of California against more than 180 defendants, including us, for alleged release into the environment of hazardous waste disposed of at the Operating Industries, Inc. site in California. This site served for many years as a depository for municipal and industrial waste. The plaintiffs have requested, among other things, that the defendants clean up the contamination at that site. Consent decrees have been entered into by the plaintiffs and a group of the defendants, including us, providing that the consenting parties perform certain remedial work at the site and reimburse the plaintiffs for certain past costs incurred by the plaintiffs at the site. Based upon our present knowledge and subject to future legal and factual developments, we do not believe that any of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. We are subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business, but do not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. At a Special Meeting held on November 28, 2000, the Company's shareholders approved the merger of MascoTech Harbor Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into the Company for the purpose of effecting a repeal of a provision in the Company's certificate of incorporation that required a 95 percent stockholder vote to approve business combinations involving interested stockholders. This merger was approved by a vote of 34,944,912 shares in favor, 202,894 votes against and 147,925 shares abstaining. Following the approval of this merger, the Company's stockholders voted, also on Novem- 8 ber 28, 2000, to approve the merger of an affiliate of Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. with the Company resulting in a change of control of the Company. The recapitalization merger was approved by a vote of 34,938,771 shares in favor, with 192,914 shares against and 164,046 shares abstaining. ITEM 4A. SUPPLEMENTARY ITEM.

Also, the Company recognized a gain (deferred at time of sale pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related to the disposition of the Company's Technical Services Group in 1997. Results for 1997 include pre-tax gains approximating $83 million principally related to the sale by the Company of its common stock holdings of an equity affiliate, gains from the Company's marketable securities portfolio and income resulting from equity transactions by affiliates. These gains were partially offset by costs and expenses of approximately $24 million pre-tax related to plant closure costs, the Company's share of special charges recorded by equity affiliates, write-off of deferred charges and employee termination and other expenses. Results for 1996 include an after-tax charge of approximately $26 million related to the sale of MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc. ("MSTI").

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. COMPANY OVERVIEW The Company is a leading global diversified industrial manufacturer of highly engineered products for the transportation, industrial and consumer markets with pro forma 2000 sales of $2.2 billion. We operate through two business groups -- Metal Forming, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of our sales, and Diversified Industrial Products, which accounts for the remaining one-third of our sales. Products include metal formed and precision-engineered components and modular systems used in vehicle engine, transmission and drivetrain applications, specialty fasteners, towing systems, packaging and sealing products and other industrial products. The Company serves a broad range of over 150 automotive and industrial customers, including Amoco, Bayer, BMW, Boeing, Dana, DaimlerChrysler, Dow Chemical, Ford, Visteon, General Motors, Delphi, Honda, John Deere, Johns Manville, New Venture Gear, TRW, U-Haul and Wal-Mart. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In January 2001, the Company changed its name to Metaldyne Corporation from MascoTech, Inc. On November 28, 2000, we were recapitalized in accordance with the terms of a recapitalization agreement as a result of which each issued and outstanding share of our publicly traded common stock at the time of the recapitalization was converted into the right to receive $16.90 in cash plus additional cash amounts, if any, based upon the net proceeds from any future disposition of the stock of Saturn Electronics & Engineering Inc. owned by us. In connection with the recapitalization, Masco Corporation, Richard A. Manoogian and certain of our other stockholders agreed to roll over a portion of their investment in us and consequently remain as stockholders. The recapitalization, the repayment of certain of our existing indebtedness and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the recapitalization was financed through approximately (1) $435 million in equity financing provided by Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. and its affiliates as well as other equity co-investors, (2) $123.8 million of proceeds from the sale of certain minority owned equity investments owned by us described below, (3) $1,016 million from borrowings under our credit facility and (4) $118.5 million with proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to a new accounts receivable facility, which replaced a similar facility entered into in the second quarter of 2000. In connection with the recapitalization, we disposed of our minority interests in each of the following companies for approximately $123.8 million in aggregate: Advanced Accessories Systems, LLC, Delco Remy International, Inc., Innovative Coating Technologies, Inc., MSX International, Inc., Qualitor, Inc., Titan International, Inc., and Tower Automotive, Inc. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES On December 15, 2000, we acquired Simpson Industries, Inc. for total consideration of $365 million, including fees and expenses and the assumption of indebtedness. The acquisition of Simpson, the repayment of certain indebtedness of Simpson and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of Simpson was funded with approximately (1) $126 million in additional common equity financing provided by Heartland and other equity co-investors, (2) $203 million from borrowings under our credit facility ($200 million in term loans and $3 million in revolving credit borrowings) and (3) $36 million from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to our accounts receivable facility. We subsequently paid down approximately $50 million in term loans incurred in connection with the Simpson acquisition with the proceeds from sale/leaseback transactions. Simpson is a designer and manufacturer of precision-engineered automotive components and modular systems for passenger and sport utility vehicles, light-and heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, Simpson had net sales of approximately $515 million and $533 million, respectively, and operating profit of approximately $35.7 million and $38.9 million, respectively. 13 During 1999, the Company acquired Windfall Products, Inc., a manufacturer of transportation-related components that utilizes powder metal technology, significantly expanding the Company's powder metal manufacturing capabilities. In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of TriMas Corporation ("TriMas"), by purchasing all of the outstanding shares of TriMas not already owned by the Company (approximately 63 percent) for approximately $920 million. DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES In mid-1998, the Company adopted a plan to sell certain aftermarket-related businesses and its vacuum metalizing operation and recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $41 million. In early 1999, the Company completed the sale of these businesses for total proceeds aggregating approximately $105 million, consisting of cash of $90 million, a note receivable of $6 million and retained equity interests in the ongoing businesses which were subsequently sold in 2000. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $26 million related to the disposition of these businesses. The businesses sold contributed net sales of $39 million and $115 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, and operating profit of $4 million and $12 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, to the Company's consolidated results. In 1999, the Company adopted a plan to sell its specialty tubing business, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $7 million and an after-tax gain of approximately $5.5 million, due to the tax basis in the net assets of the business exceeding book carrying values. This business, which had annual sales of approximately $14 million, was sold in January 2000 for proceeds of approximately $6 million. EBITDA (EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST TAXES DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION): The Company will use EBITDA in 2001 as an indicator of our operating performance and as a measure of our cash generating capabilities. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA for the year 2000, which did not include the results of Simpson, was approximately $310 million before charges related to the sale of businesses and the recapitalization, costs associated with launching certain new products and the opening of a new manufacturing facility, costs from closing certain manufacturing facilities, costs associated with a flood, certain other non-recurring charges, and an adjustment relating to anticipated cost savings. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. GENERAL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 2000 VERSUS 1999 Sales decreased approximately two percent in 2000 from 1999. Sales in 2000 as compared to 1999 were negatively impacted by dispositions, a plant closure, foreign currency fluctuations and a decline in general economic conditions in late 2000 which adversely impacted demand for certain of the Company's products. These factors more than offset incremental sales from acquisitions. Net income in 2000 was $56 million. In addition to the decline in sales, operating performance was negatively impacted by costs and expenses related to the previously announced closure of a manufacturing facility, the launch of certain new products and the opening of a new manufacturing facility. The Company was adversely impacted by a flood at a manufacturing facility in the Company's specialty insulation business. These costs and expenses were offset by the positive outcome of certain issues related to businesses previously disposed and the corresponding adjustment of certain expense accruals. In addition, results were negatively impacted by reduced equity affiliate income reflecting losses and restructuring charges at two of the Company's affiliates. This reduction in affiliate income was offset by insurance proceeds and reduced interest expense, which reflects the benefit of interest rate swap agreements that 14 were terminated in June 2000. As a result of the recapitalization, results in 2000 include net gains of approximately $28 million related to the disposition of certain equity affiliates and income of approximately $13 million related to interest rate swap agreements that were terminated. This income was offset by compensation expense charges of approximately $48 million related to severance costs and the accelerated vesting of stock awards and stock options. Net income in 1999 was $92.4 million. Results in 1999 include a net gain of $14.4 million pre-tax related to the sale of the aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses partially offset by charges related to the disposition of certain other operations and a plant closure. In addition, 1999 results include charges of approximately $17.5 million pre-tax related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets, which include the Company's hydroforming equipment and related intellectual property. Other income and expense was negatively impacted by pre-tax charges aggregating approximately $5.2 million (net of $1 million of nonrecurring income) which were principally related to equity affiliate investments. Excluding these gains and the charges, net income in 1999 would have been approximately $89 million. Sales for the Company's Specialty Metal Formed Products and Towing Systems, aided by acquisitions, increased two and six percent, respectively, as compared with 1999. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, Specialty Metal Formed Products sales would have decreased seven percent while sales of Towing Systems would have approximated 1999 levels. Sales for Specialty Fasteners decreased 11 percent as a result of the phase out of certain products related to a plant closure and reduced demand for fastener applications for heavy truck and off road markets. Specialty Packaging and Sealing Product sales increased two percent as a result of improved sales of specialty gaskets and related products. Sales of Specialty Industrial Products increased two percent. Operating margins, excluding unusual gains and charges, approximated 11.1 percent and 13.0 percent for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Margins were negatively impacted by sales declines for certain products and start-up costs related to the launch of new products and new manufacturing facilities. Operating margins in 2000 for all of the Company's segments declined as compared to 1999. Specialty Metal Formed Products margins declined from 13.7 percent to 13.2 percent principally as a result of launch costs for new products and the opening of a new manufacturing facility. Operating margins for Specialty Fasteners declined from 14.5 percent in 1999 to 9.8 percent in 2000 primarily as a result of reduced sales and the cost of a plant closure. Towing Systems margins declined to 12.0 percent in 2000 from 14.2 percent in 1999 as a result of costs incurred to rationalize logistics and distribution systems and by operating inefficiencies. Specialty Packaging and Sealing Product margins were down slightly from 1999. Margins for Specialty Industrial Products declined from 13.1 percent in 1999 to 5.6 percent in 2000 principally as a result of a flood that impacted the Company's specialty insulation business. The unusual relationship in 1999 between income before taxes and income taxes relates to the unusual gains and charges discussed above. Excluding the impact of the unusual gains and charges, the effective tax rate for 1999 would have been approximately 40 percent. Other income (expense), net in 2000 was expense of $44 million as compared with $76 million of expense in 1999. Results for 2000 include net gains of approximately $40 million related to the disposition of certain equity affiliates and income recognized from interest rate swap agreements that were terminated. In addition, 2000 was impacted by higher interest expense and reduced earnings from equity affiliates. Results for 1999 include pre-tax charges principally related to equity affiliate investments aggregating approximately $5 million, net of $1 million of nonrecurring income. 1999 VERSUS 1998 Sales increased approximately three percent in 1999 from 1998. Sales, excluding the impact of the sale of the aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses, aided by acquisitions, would have increased approximately eight percent in 1999 over 1998. Net income in 1999 was $92.4 million or $1.84 per common share. Results in 1999 include a net gain of $14.4 million pre-tax related to the sale of the aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses partially offset by charges related to the disposition of certain other operations and a plant closure. In 15 addition, 1999 results include charges of approximately $17.5 million pre-tax related to impairment of certain long-lived assets, which include the Company's hydroforming equipment and related intellectual property. Other income and expense was negatively impacted by pre-tax charges aggregating approximately $5 million (net of $1 million of nonrecurring income) which were principally related to equity affiliate investments. Excluding these gains and the charges, net income in 1999 would have been approximately $89 million or $1.78 per common share. Net income in 1998 was $97.5 million or $1.83 per common share. Results in 1998 include a charge related to the disposition of certain businesses aggregating approximately $41 million pre-tax. In addition, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $25 million related to the receipt of additional consideration based on the operating performance of the Company's stamping businesses which were sold in 1996. Results in 1998 also benefited from a gain (deferred at time of sale pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related to the disposition of the Company's Technical Services Group in 1997 and gains from the Company's marketable securities portfolio. Excluding these gains and the charge, net income in 1998 would have been approximately $89 million or $1.68 per common share. The following information is presented on a pro forma basis as though TriMas was acquired on January 1, 1998 and excludes the unusual pre-tax income and charges mentioned above. Sales for the Company's Specialty Metal Formed Products, aided by acquisitions, increased approximately eight percent in 1999 as compared to 1998. Towing Systems sales increased approximately nine percent. Sales of Specialty Fasteners, aided by acquisitions, increased approximately seven percent. Sales of Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products declined approximately three percent as a 15 percent increase in sales of closures and dispensing systems was offset by a 25 percent decline in sales of compressed gas cylinders principally as a result of market conditions and an 11 percent decline in sales of specialty gaskets and related products principally as a result of reduced activity in the oil and gas industry. Sales of Specialty Industrial Products declined approximately three percent from 1998 levels. Operating margins approximated 13.0 percent and 13.5 percent for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Margins were negatively impacted by sales declines for certain products and start-up costs related to the launch of new products and new manufacturing facilities. Operating margins in 1999 for the Company's Specialty Metal Formed Products and Towing Systems approximated 1998 levels. Operating margins for Specialty Fasteners declined from 16.8 percent in 1998 to 14.5 percent in 1999 principally due to reduced sales for aerospace, agricultural, off-highway and certain other fastener applications. Operating margins for Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products declined from 20.6 percent in 1998 to 19.0 percent in 1999 due to sales declines resulting from decreased demand for compressed gas cylinders and specialty gaskets as a result of depressed market conditions. Specialty Industrial Products profit margins were down slightly in 1999 versus 1998. The unusual relationship between income before taxes and income taxes relates to the unusual gains and charges discussed above. Excluding the impact of the unusual gains and charges for the full year 1999 would result in an effective tax rate of approximately 40 percent. Other income (expense), net in 1999 was expense of $76 million as compared with $62 million of expense in 1998. Results for 1999 include pre-tax charges principally related to equity affiliate investments aggregating approximately $5 million, net of $1 million of nonrecurring income. Results for 1998 benefited from a gain (deferred at time of sale pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related to the disposition of the Company's Technical Services Group in 1997 and gains of approximately $3 million pre-tax from the Company's marketable securities portfolio. PROFIT MARGINS Operating profit margins, excluding unusual gains and charges in 2000, 1999 and 1998, were approximately 11.1 percent in 2000, 13.0 percent in 1999 and 13.6 percent in 1998. Operating profit margin in 2000 was negatively impacted by decreased sales for certain products and by higher than expected costs associated with capacity expansions, launches of new product and process capabilities and other growth initiatives. 16 CASH FLOWS Net cash flows from operating activities increased to approximately $300 million in 2000 from approximately $153 million in 1999. In 2000, net cash from operating activities included approximately $151 million from the securitization of accounts receivable. INVENTORIES The Company's investment in inventories for its businesses increased to approximately $199 million at December 31, 2000 as compared with $184 million in 1999. The increase is principally the result of the acquisition of Simpson. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In connection with the recapitalization, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new credit facility. The credit facility includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a tranche A $500 million term loan facility, a tranche B $500 million term loan facility and a tranche C $200 million term loan facility. To complete the recapitalization and the Simpson acquisition, the Company utilized all of the tranche A, tranche B and tranche C term loans and approximately $19 million of the revolving credit facility commitments. The revolving credit balances fluctuate daily based upon the Company's working capital and other ordinary course needs and the credit facility is only available to a limited extent to fund future acquisitions. The Company's other important source of liquidity is the new $225 million accounts receivable financing arrangement, under which the Company has the ability to sell eligible accounts receivable to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company. In connection with the recapitalization and the Simpson acquisition, the Company utilized $151 million of the accounts receivable financing arrangement. The new credit facility and accounts receivable arrangement replaced the Company's prior credit facility and accounts receivable financing. In addition, the Company entered into two sale/leaseback financings in December 2000 relating to certain equipment of Simpson and the Simpson headquarters building to yield gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $50 million. These proceeds were used to reduce the $200 million tranche C term loan facility to $150 million. In addition to the credit facility and the accounts receivable financing, the Company had approximately $29.1 million of other indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2000. The Company also has a commitment from Masco Corporation, one of our shareholders, to purchase up to $100 million of a new issue of Company subordinated debt, subject to limited conditions, on or prior to October 31, 2003. The credit facility regulates how the Company draws upon this commitment, as described below. Debt includes $305 million principal amount of 4-1/2% convertible subordinated debentures which mature in December 2003. As a result of the recapitalization, these convertible subordinated debentures became convertible into the cash merger consideration payable to common stockholders in the recapitalization and, based upon the conversion price, are not expected to be converted absent a material adverse development. The credit facility imposes significant restrictions upon the use of the revolving credit facility that are designed to ensure that the Company has the necessary liquidity to repay the convertible subordinated debentures. The Company must maintain restricted cash either in escrow from the proceeds of other subordinated debt financings or equity financings or in the form of availability under the revolving credit facility and accounts receivable financing in increasing amounts up to $205 million at specified dates until the maturity of the convertible subordinated debentures. These amounts are reduced to the extent that convertible subordinated debentures are repaid from subordinated debt or equity proceeds prior to maturity. In addition, the Company is obligated by the credit facility to utilize the $100 million subordinated loan commitment from Masco to satisfy the Company's obligations in respect of the convertible subordinated debentures, upon maturity, conversion or otherwise, to the extent that the Company has not raised other subordinated debt or equity. By reason of the foregoing, the Company does not expect to be able to utilize the full revolving credit facility commitments, absent being able to raise additional junior financings. 17 The amortization of the Company's bank term indebtedness following the recapitalization and the Simpson acquisition is as follows (in millions):
2001 ..................... $ 33 2002 ..................... 53 2003 ..................... 73 2004 ..................... 83 2005 ..................... 83 2006 ..................... 93 2007 ..................... 272 2008 ..................... 387 2009 ..................... 73
In addition to the bank term debt amortization, the Company's $305 million of convertible subordinated debentures mature in 2003 and the Company has approximately $29 million of other debt maturing at various dates. The Company has other cash commitments not relating to debt as well. Immediately following the recapitalization, the Company made restricted stock awards to certain employees of approximately 3.7 million shares of Company common stock. Under the terms of the recapitalization agreement, 25 percent of those shares became free of restriction, or vested upon the closing of the recapitalization and one quarter of the approximately 3.7 million shares will vest on each January 14 of 2002, 2003 and 2004. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to elect cash in lieu of 40 percent of their restricted stock which vested at closing and 100 percent of their restricted stock on each of the other dates with the shares valued at the initial $16.90 recapitalization consideration, together with cash accruing at approximately 6 percent per annum; to the extent that cash is not elected, additional common stock valued at $16.90 per share is issuable in lieu of the 6 percent accretion. Assuming restricted stock award holders elect to receive the maximum cash, the Company estimates such cash obligations will aggregate approximately $57 million. Assuming restricted stock award holders elect to receive 100 percent in shares, the Company would issue approximately 3.7 million shares. The Company also has outstanding $36.1 million in liquidation value of preferred stock in respect of which the Company is required to pay cash dividends initially at a rate of 13 percent per annum and to effect a mandatory redemption in December 2012. In November 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, on an ongoing basis, the trade accounts receivable of certain business operations to a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose subsidiary, or MTSPC, wholly owned by the Company. MTSPC has sold and, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided fractional ownership interest in the pool of domestic receivables, up to approximately $225 million, to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company, or conduit. Upon sale to the conduit, MTSPC holds a subordinated retained interest in the receivables. Under the terms of the agreement, new receivables are added to the pool as collections reduce previously sold receivables. The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of MTSPC and the conduit. The proceeds of sale are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount that approximates the purchaser's financing costs. Approximately $118.5 million of the proceeds of the facility were used in order to consummate the recapitalization and $36.3 million were used to consummate the Simpson acquisition. As a result of the recapitalization and the Simpson acquisition, the Company is highly leveraged and has significantly increased interest expense relative to historical levels. The Company will need to dedicate significant portions of cash flow to debt service obligations. In addition, the Company expects that capital expenditure requirements in 2001 will be approximately $133 million, of which approximately $22 million are expected to be maintenance-related. The Company may incur material amounts of additional debt and further burden cash flow in pursuit of acquisition strategies. Capital expenditures in 2000 were approximately $107 million. The Company believes that its liquidity and capital resources, including anticipated cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet debt service, capital expenditure and other short-term and long-term obligations and needs, but the Company is subject to unforeseeable events 18 and the risk that it will not be successful in implementing its business strategies. The Company will also seek to extend the average maturities of debt through the issuance of long-term debt securities to the extent market conditions permit us to increase our financial flexibility and ability to pursue our business strategies. OTHER MATTERS YEAR 2000 The Company did not experience any significant disruptions to its operating systems or lose any revenues as a result of the date change to year 2000. The cost of Year 2000 compliance for the Company approximated $12 million, including: replacement costs of $7 million which are normal and recurring; upgrades of $2 million which are normal and recurring; repair/programming costs of $2 million; and other costs of $1 million, which are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow. The majority of the replacement and upgrade costs would have been incurred by the Company over time as part of its regular information system replacement process. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This discussion and other sections of this report contain statements reflecting the Company's views about its future performance and constitute "forward-looking statements." These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and may cause the Company's actual results to differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should consider that various factors may affect our ability to attain the projected performance, including: o Leverage; Ability to Service Debt -- We may not be able to manage our business as we might otherwise do so due to our high degree of leverage. o Liquidity and Capital Resources -- If we are unable to raise junior capital, our liquidity and business strategies will be adversely impacted. o Challenges of Acquisition Strategy -- We may not be able to identify attractive acquisition candidates, successfully integrate our acquired operations or realize the intended benefits of our acquisitions. o Substantial Capital Expenditure Requirements -- If we are unable to meet future capital requirements, our business will be adversely affected. o Substantial Restrictions and Covenants -- Restrictions in our credit facility limit our ability to take certain actions. o Dependence on Automotive Industry and Industry Cyclicality -- The industries in which we operate are dependent upon the economy and are cyclical. o Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers and Manufacturers -- The loss of a substantial number of our suppliers could affect our financial health. o Our Industries Are Highly Competitive -- Recent trends among our customers will increase competitive pressures in our businesses. o Dependence on Key Personnel and Relationships -- We depend on the services of other key individuals and relationships, the loss of which would materially harm us. o Labor Relations -- A portion of our workforce is unionized. o Labor Stoppages Affecting OEMs -- Slowdowns, strikes or similar actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. o International Sales -- A growing portion of our revenue may be derived from international sources, which presents separate uncertainty for us. 19 o Product Liability -- Our businesses expose us to product liability risks that could materially and adversely impact us. o Environmental Matters -- We have been and may be subject in the future to potential exposure to environmental liabilities. o Government Regulation -- Fastener Quality Act. o Control by Principal Stockholder -- We are controlled by Heartland, whose interests in our business may be different than yours. o Terms of Shareholders Agreement -- Provisions of the shareholders agreement impose significant operating and financial restrictions on our business. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this annual report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this annual report, the words "will," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this annual report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this annual report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We are also subject to interest risk as it relates to long-term debt. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General Financial Analysis" for details about our primary market risks, and the objectives and strategies used to manage these risks. Also see "Long-Term Debt" in the financial statement notes for additional information. 20 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors of Metaldyne Corporation: In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Metaldyne Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2)(i) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 25 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RECAPITALIZATION: On November 28, 2000, a recapitalization of the Company was consummated in accordance with the terms of a recapitalization agreement as a result of which each issued and outstanding share of the Company's publicly traded common stock at the time of the recapitalization was converted into the right to receive $16.90 in cash (approximately $585 million in the aggregate) plus additional cash amounts, if any, based upon the net proceeds from any future disposition of the stock of Saturn Electronics & Engineering, Inc. ("Saturn") owned by the Company. In connection with the recapitalization, Masco Corporation, Richard A. Manoogian and certain of the Company's other stockholders agreed to roll over a portion of their investment in the Company and consequently remain as stockholders. As a result of the recapitalization, the Company is controlled by Heartland Industrial Partners L.P. ("Heartland") and its co-investors. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the recapitalization resulted in no adjustment of assets or liabilities and the payment for shares of common stock was treated as a treasury stock transaction. The recapitalization, the repayment of certain of the Company's existing indebtedness and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the recapitalization was financed through approximately (1) $435 million in equity financing provided by Heartland and other equity co-investors, (2) $124 million of proceeds from the sale of certain equity investments owned by the Company, (3) $1,016 million from borrowings under the Company's new credit facility and (4) $119 million of proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to a new accounts receivable facility, which replaced a similar but smaller facility entered into in the second quarter of 2000. In conjunction with the recapitalization, the Company incurred approximately $48 million of compensation expense related to severance costs and accelerated vesting of stock awards and options. These costs are classified as "Charges related to the recapitalization." The recapitalization was completed by a merger of the Company with Riverside Acquisition Corporation, with the Company being the surviving entity. At the same time, substantially all of the assets of the Company were contributed to a new wholly owned subsidiary entity, Metalync Company, LLC (now known as Metaldyne Company, LLC) ("LLC"), including operating assets and stock in subsidiaries. In addition, the LLC assumed the obligation to pay the principal and interest on the 4-1/2% debentures due in 2003, although the Company remains responsible. In connection with the recapitalization, Heartland, Credit Suisse First Boston Equity Partners, L.P., Masco Corporation, Richard A. Manoogian, their various affiliates and certain other stockholders of the Company, entered into a Shareholders' Agreement regarding their ownership of the Company's common stock. Owners of an aggregate of approximately 90 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock are party to the Shareholders' Agreement which imposes certain restrictions on, and rights with respect to the transfer of, Company Common Stock. The Agreement also entitles the shareholders to certain rights regarding corporate governance of the Company. ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Corporations that are 20 to 50 percent owned are accounted for by the equity method of accounting; ownership less than 20 percent is accounted for on the cost basis unless the Company exercises significant influence over the investee. Capital transactions by equity affiliates, which change the Company's ownership interest at amounts differing from the Company's carrying amount, are reflected in other income or expense and the investment in affiliates account. Effective January 23, 2001, the Company changed its name to Metaldyne Corporation from MascoTech, Inc. 26 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company has a corporate services agreement with Masco Corporation, which at December 31, 2000 owned approximately six percent of the Company's common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays fees to Masco Corporation for various corporate staff support and administrative services, research and development and facilities. Such fees aggregated approximately $2.9 million, net in 2000, $6.4 million in 1999 and $8.7 million in 1998. The Company and Masco have agreed that Masco will continue to provide certain services, on a reduced basis and for significantly lower fees, through 2002. During 2000, in connection with the recapitalization agreement and the acquisition of Simpson, the Company incurred financing and other fees (principally merger and acquisition related) of $24 million to Heartland. In addition, the Company entered into a monitoring agreement with Heartland for an annual fee of $4 million plus additional fees for financings and acquisitions under certain circumstances. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company 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 financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from such estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Investments. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash investments. Marketable Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments. In prior years, the Company had marketable equity securities holdings which were categorized as trading and, as a result, were stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of trading securities were recognized in earnings. The Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements to limit the effect of changes in the interest rates on any floating rate debt. For interest rate instruments that effectively hedge interest rate exposures, the net cash amounts paid or received on the agreements are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. At December 31, 2000, the Company had no marketable security holdings or derivative financial instruments. Receivables. Receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $5.4 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company conducts a significant amount of business with a number of individual customers in the transportation industry. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains adequate allowances for doubtful accounts; the Company does not believe that significant credit risk exists. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined principally by use of the first-in, first-out method. Property and Equipment, Net. Property and equipment additions, including significant betterments, are recorded at cost. Upon retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual depreciation rates are as follows: buildings and land improvements, 2-1/2 to 10 percent, and machinery and equipment, 6 2/3 to 33 1/3 percent. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the lives of the related debt securities. The excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies is amortized using the straight-line method over the period estimated to be benefited, not exceeding 40 years. At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether there has been a permanent impairment of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities with the carrying amount of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, business prospects, market trends, potential product obsolescence, competitive activities and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, there was no permanent impairment related to the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies at December 31, 2000. 27 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) At December 31, 2000 and 1999, accumulated amortization of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies and patents was $93.8 million and $68.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense was $47.6 million (which includes $14.5 million of amortization expense related to the accelerated vesting of stock awards), $28.4 million and $31.8 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Shipping and handling fees are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses category in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Shipping and handling expense was $21.7 million, $21.0 million and $21.1 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. New Accounting Pronouncements and Reclassifications. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The effective adoption date of these pronouncements is January 1, 2001. The Company entered into interest rate derivatives in 2001 to satisfy requirements under its bank facilities. The Company does not expect the initial adoption of these pronouncements to have a significant impact on the financial statements. In October 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities -a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140 revised the standards for accounting and disclosures for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets, but it has carried over most of Statement 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 140 will have on its financial statements, if any. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101), effective in the fourth quarter of 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements. The FASB Emerging Issues Task Force reached consensus on Issue 99-5, "Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements." Issue 99-5 addresses the capitalization of pre-production design and development tooling costs under long-term supply arrangements. This guidance is effective for costs incurred after December 31, 1999. The Company has determined that this issue did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. 28 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) EARNINGS PER SHARE: The following are reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOWS INFORMATION: Significant transactions not affecting cash were: in 2000, the issuance of approximately $8 million of Company common stock as additional consideration related to a 1998 acquisition; the issuance of $36.1 liquidation value preferred stock in exchange for Company common stock; the acquisition of Simpson for cash and the assumption of approximately $215 million of liabilities; and in 1999, the assumption of approximately $10 million of liabilities in an acquisition; and in 1998, the issuance of $22 million of Company common stock in partial exchange for the assets of an acquired company; the acquisition of TriMas for cash and the assumption of liabilities of approximately $179 million. Income taxes paid were $18 million, $54 million and $38 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest paid was $93 million, $79 million and $79 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. ACQUISITIONS: On December 15, 2000, the Company acquired Simpson Industries, Inc. for total consideration of $365 million, including fees and expenses and the assumption of indebtedness. The results for 2000 include 29 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Simpson sales and operating results since the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $150 million amortized over 40 years. The purchase price allocations are preliminary, and as such are estimates. Such allocations could change upon the completion of asset valuations, which are on-going as of the date of this filing. Simpson is a designer and manufacturer of precision-engineered automotive components and modular systems for passenger and sport utility vehicles, light-and heavy-duty trucks and diesel engines. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, Simpson had approximate net sales of $515 million and $533 million, respectively, and approximate operating profit of $35.7 million and $38.9 million, respectively. Had the Simpson acquisition occurred effective January 1, 2000 (1999), the following unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales, operating profit and net income for the years ended December 31, 2000 (1999) would have been approximately $2.2 billion ($2.2 billion), $169 million ($252 million) and $46 million ($102 million), respectively. The unaudited pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results which would actually have been reported if the transaction had occurred on such date. During 1999, the Company acquired Windfall Products, Inc., a manufacturer of transportation-related components that utilizes powder metal technology, significantly expanding the Company's powder metal manufacturing capabilities. In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of TriMas Corporation ("TriMas"), by purchasing all of the outstanding shares of TriMas not already owned by the Company (approximately 63 percent) for approximately $920 million. DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES: The Company received approximately $30 million of contingent consideration ($5 million in 1997 and $25 million in 1998) based on the subsequent operating performance of certain businesses sold in 1996. This gain, which is non-taxable, is included in the caption "gains (charge) on disposition of businesses, net" in the consolidated statement of income. On January 3, 1997, the Company sold its Technical Services Group (comprised of the Company's engineering and technical business services units) to MSX International, Inc. In January 1998, the Company received $48 million of cash from MSX International, Inc. in payment of subordinated debentures and other amounts due MascoTech, resulting in a realized gain in the first quarter 1998 of $7 million. In the second quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a non-cash charge aggregating approximately $41 million pre-tax (approximately $22 million after-tax) to reflect the write-down of certain long-lived assets principally related to the plan to dispose of certain businesses and to accrue exit costs of approximately $8 million. In April 1999, the Company completed the sale of these aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses for total proceeds aggregating approximately $105 million, including $90 million of cash which was applied to reduce the Company's indebtedness, a note receivable of $6 million and retained equity interests in the ongoing businesses which were subsequently sold in 2000. These transactions resulted in a 1999 pre-tax gain of approximately $26 million ($15 million after-tax). In 1999, management adopted a plan to sell its specialty tubing business which resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $7 million and an after-tax gain of approximately $5.5 million, due to the tax basis in the net assets of the businesses exceeding book carrying values. This business was sold in January 2000 for proceeds of approximately $6 million consisting of cash and notes. In addition, the Company recorded in the second quarter 1999 a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $17.5 million related to impairment of certain long-lived assets, which included its hydroforming equipment and related intellectual property. 30 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) In the fourth quarter 1999, the Company announced the closure of a plant and recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $4 million ($2 million after-tax) related principally to employee benefit costs and asset impairments. Accrued exit costs at January 1, 2000 were approximately $12 million, payments and adjustments to accrued estimates approximated $5 million and the ending accrual was approximately $7 million. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION: During June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, on an ongoing basis, approximately $50 million of trade accounts receivable of certain business operations to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose subsidiary ("MTSPC") of the Company. The June 2000 accounts receivable facility was replaced in November 2000 with a similar facility which allows the Company to sell the trade accounts receivable of substantially all domestic business operations to MTSPC. MTSPC has sold and, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided fractional ownership interest in the pool of receivables up to approximately $225 million to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company, or conduit. Upon sale to the conduit, MTSPC holds a subordinated retained interest in the receivables. Under the terms of the agreement, new receivables are added to the pool as collections reduce previously sold receivables. The Company services, administers and collects the receivables on behalf of MTSPC and the conduit. The net proceeds of sale are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold by an amount that approximates the purchaser's financing costs amounting to a total of $4.2 million in 2000 and is included in other expense in the income statement. At December 31, 2000 a total of approximately $151 million of receivables were sold and the Company retained a subordinated interest of approximately $17 million, which was included in the receivables balance. The retained subordinated interest is discounted at a rate that approximates fair value given the short-term nature of the receivables balance. INVENTORIES:

EQUITY AND OTHER INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES: On November 28, 2000, the Company sold all of its equity investments, except Saturn, for approximately $124 million resulting in a net pre-tax gain of approximately $28 million. The Company has a 36 percent common equity ownership in Saturn, a manufacturer of electromechanical and electronic automotive components. The Company's carrying value in the common stock of Saturn exceeded its equity in the underlying net book value by approximately $9 million at December 31, 2000. This excess is being amortized over 40 years. Although no disposition of the stock of Saturn was made prior to the recapitalization, holders of common stock on the date of the recapitalization will be entitled to certain net proceeds, if any, from any subsequent disposition of Saturn. The amount which will be paid to such former stockholders will equal the proceeds in excess of $18.0 million and less than or equal to $40.0 million, any proceeds in excess of $55.7 million and less than or equal to $56.7 million as well as 60 percent of any proceeds in excess of $56.7 million. Any other proceeds will be retained by the Company. 31 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The carrying amount of investments in affiliates at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $27.8 million and $110.7 million, respectively. Approximate combined condensed financial data of the Company's equity affiliates (including TriMas through the date of acquisition in early 1998, and through the date of sale of all the equity investments except Saturn in November 2000) accounted for under the equity method, are as follows:

In connection with the recapitalization in late 2000 (see "Recapitalization" note), the Company entered into a new $1.5 billion credit facility, which replaced our prior credit facility. The new facility includes a $300 million revolving credit facility due in 2007, a tranche A $500 million term loan facility, a tranche B $500 million term loan facility and a tranche C $200 million term loan facility of which $50 million was repaid from the proceeds of the sale/leaseback of certain assets. The amortization of the term loans is as follows: 2001 -- $33 million; 2002 -- $53 million; 2003 -- $73 million; 2004 -- $83 million; 2005 -- $83 million; 2006 -- $93 million; 2007 -- $272 million; 2008 -- $387 million; and 2009 -- $73 million. Other debt includes borrowings by the Company's subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies. At December 31, 2000, there was approximately $170 million unused and available under the revolving credit agreement. The interest rates applicable to the revolver and term loans are principally at alternative floating rates which approximated ten percent at December 31, 2000. Interest rate swaps covering a notional amount of $400 million of the Company's floating rate debt were entered into in 1998 at an aggregate interest rate of approximately six percent before the addition 33 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) of the borrowing margin in the underlying bank agreement. These swap agreements expired or were terminated in June 2000 and the Company received proceeds of approximately $16 million. The cash proceeds were used for the reduction of long-term debt. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $12.9 million in November 2000 related to the disposition of the swap agreements. The credit facility is secured by substantially all domestic assets (except for the investment in Saturn and the subordinated retained interest of securitized receivables) and by a portion of the stock of foreign operations. The bank debt is an obligation of subsidiaries of the Company. The bank debt includes limitations on the distribution of funds from the LLC, the principal subsidiary to the Company. These include limitations on the ability of the Company to redeem the restricted stock awards (see Stock Options and Awards footnote) if the result of such redemption would give rise to a default under the credit agreement. The new credit facility contains other negative and affirmative covenants and requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including restrictions on debt, liens, mergers, investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures, asset dispositions, sale/leaseback transactions, the ability to pay common stock dividends and transactions with affiliates. The new credit facility also requires the Company and its subsidiaries to meet certain financial covenants and ratios to be computed quarterly commencing on December 31, 2000. The credit facility presently requires the Company to maintain $70 million available under the revolving credit facility and accounts receivable facility in order to have funds available to make payments when necessary for the convertible subordinated debentures. This required availability increases to $205 million in 2003 when the convertible subordinated debentures mature. Masco Corporation has agreed to purchase from the Company, at the Company's option, up to $100 million of a new issue of Metaldyne long-term subordinated debt, subject to certain conditions, on or prior to October 31, 2003. However, the credit agreement significantly restricts the Company's right to require Masco Corporation to purchase such long-term subordinated debt until such time as the convertible subordinated debt matures or is repaid from subordinated debt or equity proceeds prior to maturity. The 4-1/2% convertible debentures due 2003 were formerly convertible into an aggregate approximate 9.8 million shares of Company common stock. The effect of the recapitalization is that the holders of these debentures may convert the bonds into the amount of consideration received per share by the common shareholders of the Company in the recapitalization, $16.90 per share plus the right to receive certain proceeds from the sale of Saturn, if any. As a result, the debenture holders have the right to convert at any time for approximately $166 million in cash and the right to receive future consideration upon the sale of Saturn. Alternatively, holders of the debentures may retain the debentures until maturity, but are no longer entitled to convert them into common shares of the Company. These debentures are classified as long-term because the Company has the ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis any amounts that might be required to be paid to debenture holders in the next year. The Company's revolving credit agreement has $70 million available for the payment of amounts demanded by debenture holders, which together with the right of the Company to require Masco Corporation to purchase $100 million of long-term subordinated debt, results in available funds of $170 million. The $170 million is sufficient to satisfy the maximum amount that would be required if all debenture holders elect to convert their bonds into the $16.90 per share recapitalization cash consideration. The maturities of debt as at December 31, 2000 during the next five years are as follows (in millions): 2001 -- $46; 2002 -- $55; 2003 -- $380; 2004 -- $84; and 2005 -- $84 34 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company leases certain equipment and plant facilities under noncancellable operating leases. Rental expense for the Company totaled approximately $8.7 million, $8.2 million and $9.2 million during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In December 2000, the Company completed sale/leaseback financings relating to certain equipment of Simpson and the Simpson headquarters building to yield gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $50 million. These proceeds were used to pay down the $200 million tranche C term loan facility. Due to the sales/leaseback financings, the Company has significantly increased its commitment to future lease payments. Minimum payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2000 are summarized below:

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK: The Company issued $36.1 million in liquidation value ($33 million estimated fair value for accounting purposes) of Series A preferred stock par value $1 and authorized 370,000 shares to Masco Corporation. The Company will accrete from the carrying value to the liquidation value ratably over the twelve-year period. The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable on December 31, 2012. Series A preferred stockholders are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company's board of directors, cumulative quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 13 percent per annum for periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2005 and 15 percent per annum for periods after December 31, 2005 plus 2 percent per annum for any period for which there are any accrued and unpaid dividends ("Recapitalization" footnote). SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: The Company repurchased and retired approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock in 1999 and 3.6 million shares of its common stock in 1998, pursuant to Board of Directors' authorized repurchase programs. On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.24 ($.24) in 2000, $.30 ($.30) in 1999 and $.26 ($.20) in 1998. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS: The Company's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms. At December 31, 2000, outstanding stock-based incentives are in the form of restricted long-term stock awards. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted long-term stock awards, net, for 401,000, 622,000 and 908,000 shares of Company Common Stock during 2000 (prior to the recapitalization), 1999 and 1998, respectively, to key employees of the Company. The weighted average fair value per share of long-term stock awards granted during 2000, 1999 and 1998 on the date of grant was $13, $14 and $19, respectively. 35 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Compensation expense for the vesting of long-term stock awards was approximately $21.0 million, $4.7 million and $5.2 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Prior to the recapitalization merger, the unamortized value of unvested stock awards were generally amortized over a ten-year vesting period and were recorded in the financial statements as a deduction from shareholders' equity. As part of the recapitalization, the Company cancelled outstanding stock awards and made new restricted stock awards to certain employees of approximately 3.7 million shares of Company Common Stock. Under the terms of the recapitalization agreement, those shares become free of restriction, or vest, as to one-quarter upon the closing of the recapitalization merger and one-quarter in each of January 2002, 2003 and 2004. Holders of restricted stock were entitled to elect cash in lieu of 40 percent of their respective stock which vested at the closing of the recapitalization merger. On each of the subsequent vesting dates, holders of restricted stock may elect to receive all of the installment in common shares, 40 percent in cash and 60 percent in common shares, or 100 percent of the installment in cash. The number of shares to be received will increase by six percent per annum and any cash to be received will increase by six percent per annum from the $16.90 per share recapitalization consideration. As a result of the ability of the holder to elect a partial or full cash option, the restricted shares have been classified as redeemable restricted common stock. There were 2,751,374 restricted shares outstanding at December 31, 2000. As part of the recapitalization, holders of options with an exercise price below the merger consideration were entitled to cash equal to the difference between such merger consideration and the exercise price for such options. A payment for this excess was made in January 2001 totaling approximately $14 million. This liability was recognized in 2000 and is included in expense as a "Charge related to the recapitalization" and in other accrued liabilities. In addition, $14 million was held in an escrow account and is included in "Prepaid expense and other assets." Holders of options with the exercise price below the merger consideration and former holders of restricted stock will also be entitled to additional cash amounts from the proceeds of the disposition of Saturn stock, if any, in accordance with the recapitalization agreement. Options with an exercise price exceeding the merger consideration were cancelled. A summary of the status of the Company's stock options granted under the Plan or prior plans for the three years ended December 31, 2000 is presented below.

36 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) A combined total of approximately 7.2 million shares and 3.5 million shares in 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 3.8 million shares in 1998 of Company Common Stock were available for the granting of options and incentive awards under the above plans. The increase in available options and stock awards from 1999 to 2000 is the result of the cancellation of options as a result of the recapitalization. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, no stock option compensation expense is included in the determination of net income in the statement of income. The weighted average fair value on the date of grant of options granted was $3.60 and $6.30 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Had stock option compensation expense been determined pursuant to the methodology of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the pro forma effects on the Company's earnings per share would have been a reduction of approximately $.04 in both 1999 and 1998. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
1999 1998 ------- ------- Risk-free interest rate ...................... 5.1% 5.5% Dividend yield ............................... 1.9% 1.3% Volatility factor ............................ 26.2% 28.8% Expected option life (in years) .............. 5.5 5.5
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: Pension and Profit-Sharing Benefits. The Company sponsors defined-benefit pension plans for most of its employees. In addition, substantially all salaried employees participate in noncontributory profit-sharing plans, to which payments are approved annually by the Board of Directors. Aggregate charges to income under these plans were $18 million in 2000, $21 million in 1999 and $15 million in 1998.

The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.75 percent in 2000 and 1999. The assumed health care cost trend rate in 2000 was nine percent, decreasing to an ultimate rate in the year 2008 of five percent. If the assumed medical cost trend rates were increased by one percent, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations would increase by $2.9 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit obligations cost would increase by $.1 million. If the assumed medical cost trend rates were decreased by one percent, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations would decrease by $2.1 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost would decrease by $.1 million. 39 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEGMENT INFORMATION: The Company has defined a segment as a component, with business activity resulting in revenue and expense, that has separate financial information evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has five operating segments involving the manufacture and sale of the following: SPECIALTY METAL FORMED PRODUCTS -- Precision products, principally engine and drivetrain components and subassemblies, generally produced using advanced metalworking technologies with significant proprietary content for the transportation industry. SPECIALTY FASTENERS -- Cold formed fasteners and related metallurgical processing. TOWING SYSTEMS -- Vehicle hitches, jacks, winches, couplers and related towing accessories. SPECIALTY PACKAGING AND SEALING PRODUCTS -- Principally industrial container closures and metallic and nonmetallic gaskets. SPECIALTY INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS -- Specialty drills, cutters and specialized metal finishing services, and flame-retardant facings and jacketings and pressure-sensitive tapes. The Company purchased TriMas in January 1998 and the segment data for 1998 reflects TriMas as though the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1998, consistent with the Company's internal management reporting. Included in the Specialty Metal Formed Products segment are sales to one customer of $176 million, $197 million and $184 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's export sales approximated $131 million, $143 million and $142 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net assets for 2000 reflect the sale of accounts receivable principally in the metalforming group through the securitization program. 40 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Intersegment transactions represent principally transactions occurring in the ordinary course of business.

A provision has not been made at December 31, 2000 for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on approximately $137.5 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as those earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested. Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: CASH AND CASH INVESTMENTS The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash investments approximates fair value. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NOTES RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ASSETS Fair values of financial instruments included in accounts receivable, notes receivable and other assets were estimated using various methods including quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on the incremental borrowing rates for similar types of investments. In addition, for variable-rate notes receivable that fluctuate with the prime rate, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. LONG-TERM DEBT The carrying amount of bank debt and certain other long-term debt instruments approximate fair value as the floating rates applicable to this debt reflect changes in overall market interest rates. The fair values of the Company's subordinated debt instruments are based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain other debt instruments are estimated by discounting future cash flows based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar types of debt instruments. DERIVATIVES The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments, and does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The derivatives, principally consisting of interest rate swap agreements, are intended to reduce the market risk associated with the Company's floating rate debt. 44 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Interest rate swap agreements covering a notional amount of $400 million of the Company's floating rate debt were entered into in 1998 at an aggregate interest rate of approximately six percent before the addition of the borrowing margin in the underlying bank agreement. The fair value of the swap agreements, $13 million at December 31, 1999, was not recognized in the consolidated financial statements since they are accounted for as hedges of the floating rate exposure. These swap agreements expired or were terminated in June 2000 at a gain, and the Company received proceeds of approximately $15.8 million. The cash proceeds were used for the reduction of long-term debt. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $13 million in November 2000 related to the interest rate swap agreements as a result of the repayment of the related debt due to the recapitalization. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

(a) As a result of the recapitalization on November 28, 2000, the Company's stock no longer has a public market. Prices are based upon public market transactions through November 28, 2000. 45 METALDYNE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED) In the fourth quarter 2000, the Company incurred approximately $48 million of compensation expense related to severance costs and accelerated vesting of stock awards and stock options related to the recapitalization of the Company. In the fourth quarter 2000, the Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of approximately $28 million related to the sale of the Company's equity investments, excluding Saturn. In the fourth quarter 2000, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $13 million related to the interest rate swap agreements that terminated in June 2000 due to the repayment of the related debt. In the first quarter and second quarter of 1999, the Company recognized non-cash charges aggregating approximately $6 million pre-tax to reflect the other than temporary decline in value of equity affiliates of the Company. In 1999, the Company completed the sale of its aftermarket-related and vacuum metalizing businesses. These transactions resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $26 million, of which approximately $10 million was recognized in the first quarter 1999 and approximately $16 million in the second quarter 1999. In the second quarter 1999, the Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $17.5 million related to impairment of certain long-lived assets, which included its hydroforming equipment and related intellectual property. In the fourth quarter 1999, the Company recognized pre-tax charges aggregating approximately $12 million, principally related to the closure of a plant and the sale of a business. The 2000 income (loss) per common share amounts for the quarters do not total to the full year amounts due to the purchase and retirement of shares throughout the year. 46 ITEM 9.
