Page 7. ARROW AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTE C -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------ On December 29, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial bank to provide replacement financing of its existing credit line and term loan. The replacement financing consists of a $20 million revolving line of credit and a $9 million term loan. The difference between amounts paid to retire the existing indebtedness and the related carrying amounts, principally the unamortized balance of debt issue costs and early payment of penalties which totalled $275,985, net of an income tax benefit of $169,000, has been reflected as an extraordinary charge in the accompanying statements of income. Page 8. PART I Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company sustained a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 of $748,596 on net sales of $19,820,409. This compares to net income for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year of $354,855 on net sales of $25,199,362. Operating results for the nine months ended March 25, 1995, were a net loss of $135,330 on net sales of $81,800,935 compared to net income of $1,073,945 on net sales of $79,884,244 for the same period in fiscal 1994. The prior year's net income included an extraordinary charge to income of $275,985, net of tax benefit of $169,000. The net loss in the third quarter and the first nine months of the current year was primarily due to the decline in net sales in the third quarter and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current fiscal year, which are discussed below. In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, net sales were down 21.3% from the net sales of the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, and fell off sharply from the net sales attained in the first and second quarters of the current fiscal year. Unit sales declined correspondingly with the decline in net sales dollars. The decline in net sales in the third quarter of the current fiscal year relative to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to the impact of the mild winter, and a twelve week current fiscal quarter compared to thirteen weeks in the corresponding period last year. In addition, the Company had a loss of several customer accounts, impacting the current quarter's net sales by approximately $1.2 million. Also adversely impacting net sales for the third quarter was the Company's installation of a new raw material cleaning system in its Spartanburg, South Carolina manufacturing facility, which reduced customer shipments during the first week of January of 1995. The gross margin percentage for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was 24.1% of net sales, down from the gross margin percentage of 26.5% for the same period last year. The gross margin percentage for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 was 23.9%, compared to 25.1% for the same period last fiscal year. The gross margin percentages in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year were 23.5%, 24.3% and 24.1%, respectively. Manufacturing inefficiencies related to low sales volume contributed to the decline in gross margin in the current year's third quarter. On a year to date basis, the decline in the gross margin percentage compared to the prior year was due to manufacturing inefficiencies as noted above, as well as to higher material costs which were incurred early in the fiscal year. Page 9. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $5,525,400, compared to $5,707,380 in the comparable period in fiscal 1994. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense increased to 27.9% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscaol 1995 from 22.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Similarly, for the nine months ended March 25, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses of $18,363,833, or 22.4% of net sales, increased from the spending level of $16,675,604, or 20.9% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. During the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the Company experienced increased business acquisition costs relative to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year of $867,000, of which $187,000, was incurred in the third quarter. Also during the current fiscal year, the Company invested in the development of new marketing programs which resulted in additional expense of $350,000, of which $157,000 was incurred in the third quarter of the current fiscal year. Net interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was $467,885, an increase of 19.0% over the same period in fiscal 1994. On a year to date basis, net interest expense increased 17.3% over the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Higher borrowing levels and higher interest rates resulted in the additional net interest expense incurred in the current year. Accounts receivable declined during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 consistent with reduced sales volume, while inventory, particularly finished goods, increased during the third quarter. Trade payables for the period declined with tighter spending controls. Purchases of property, plant and equipment continued as planned during the quarter. A significant portion of capital expenditures relate to the replacement of raw material cleaning systems at all three manufacturing locations. As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 25, 1994, the Company has a financing agreement with a commercial bank relating to credit arrangements provided to the Company by that institution consisting of a $20 million revolving line of credit and a term loan which had a principal balance as of March 25, 1995 of $7,714,286. The debt service covenant of this financing agreement was amended during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 such that the loss sustained by the Company during the quarter did not result in a breach of that covenant. The Company anticipates that operating revenues and existing credit lines will be adequate to finance its operations through the completion of the fiscal year. Page 10.

(4) The company reimbursement RETENTION and SECTION 1 INSURING CLAUSE (B) shall be applicable to all Claims whenever indemnification by the Insured Organization is legally permissible or statutorily required, whether or not the Insured Organization has agreed to indemnify its Insured Persons or not, except where actual indemnification cannot be made by the Insured Organization to its Insured Persons solely by reason of the Insured Organization's financial insolvency. (5) Except for the payment of Defense Expenses as provided in Section 4. Conditions (A), (2) and (3), the Insurer shall indemnify for Loss only upon the final disposition of any Claim. (D) COOPERATION; SUBROGATION In the event of a Claim or notice of circumstances under Section 4. Conditions (G), (1), (2), the Insured Person will provide the Insurer with all information, assistance and cooperation that the Insurer reasonably requests, and will take no action that may prejudice the Insured Persons or Insurer's position or potential or actual rights or defense under the policy without the Insurer's consent.

INSURING AGREEMENT The Insurer shall provide the Insureds with excess coverage over the Underlying Insurance as set forth in Item 4 of the Declarations during the policy Period set forth in Item 2 of Declarations. Coverage hereunder shall attach only after all such Underlying Insurance has been exhausted by payments for losses and shall then apply in conformance with the same provisions of the Primary Policy at its inception, except for premium, limit of liability and as otherwise specifically set forth in the provisions of this Policy. II. POLICY DEFINITIONS Application shall mean the written application for this Policy, including any materials submitted therewith, which together shall be on file with the Insurer and deemed a part of and attached hereto as if physically attached to this Policy. Named Entity means the organization named in Item 1 of the Declarations. Insureds means those persons or organization(s) insured under the Primary Policy, at its inception. Policy Period means the period from the effective date and hour of this Policy as set forth in Item 2 of the Declarations, to the Policy expiration date and hour set forth in Item 2 of the Declarations, or its earlier cancellation date or termination date, if any. Primary Policy means the Policy scheduled in Item 4 (a) of the Declarations. Underlying Insurance means all those Policies scheduled in Item 4 of the Declarations and any Policies replacing them. III. MAINTENANCE OF UNDERLYING INSURANCE All of the Underlying Insurance scheduled in Item 4 of the Declarations shall be maintained during the Policy Period in full effect, except for any reduction of the aggregate limit(s) of liability available under the Underlying Insurance solely by reason of payment of losses thereunder. Failure to comply with the foregoing shall not invalidate this Policy but the Insurer shall not be liable to a greater extent than if this condition had been complied with. To the extent that any Underlying Insurance is not maintained in full effect during the currency of this Policy Period, then the Insureds shall be deemed to have retained any loss for the amount of the limit of liability of any Underlying Insurance which is not maintained as set forth above. In the event of any actual or alledged (a) failure by the Insureds to give notice or to exercise any extensions under any Underlying Insurance or (b) misrepresentation or breach of warranties by any of the Insured with respect to any Underlying Insurance, the Insurer shall not be liable hereunder to a greater extent than it would have been in the absence of such actual or alleged failure, misrepresentation or breach. It is further a condition of this Policy that the Insurer shall be notified in writing, as soon as practicable of cancellation and/or alteration of any provisions of any of the policies of Underlying Insurance. IV. LIMIT OF LIABILITY The amount set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate Limit of Liability of the Insurer for the Policy Period. Costs of defense shall be part of and not in addition to the Limit of Liability in Item 3 of the Declarations, and such costs of defense shall reduce the Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations. V. DEPLETION OF UNDERLYING (LIMITS) In the event of the depletion of the limit(s) of liability of the Underlying Insurance solely as the result of the actual payment of losses thereunder by the applicable insurers, this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer's Limit of Liability and to the other terms of this Policy, continue to apply to losses as Excess Insurance over the amount of Insurance remaining under such Underlying Insurance. In the event of the exhaustion of all of the limit(s) of liability of such Underlying Insurance solely as a result of payment of losses thereunder, the remaining limits available under this Policy shall, subject to the Insurer's Limit of Liability and to the other provisions of this Policy, continue for subsequent losses as primary insurance and any retention specified in the Primary Policy shall be imposed under this Policy as to each claim made; otherwise no retention shall be imposed under this policy. This Policy only provides coverage excess of the Underlying Insurance. This Policy does not provide coverage for any loss not covered by the Underlying Insurance except and to the extent that such loss is not paid under the Underlying Insurance solely by reason of the reduction or exhaustion of the available Underlying Insurance through payments of loss thereunder. In the event the insurer of one or more of the Underlying Insurance polices fails to pay loss in connection with any claim covered under the Underlying Insurance as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or liquidation of said insurer, then the Insureds hereunder shall be deemed to have retained any loss for the amount of limit of liability of said Insurer which is not paid as the result of such insolvency, bankruptcy or liquidation. If any Underlying Insurance bears an effective date which is prior to the effective date of this Policy and if any such Insurance becomes exhuasted or impaired by payment of loss with respect to any claim which, shall be deemed to be made prior to the effective date of this Policy, then with respect to any claim made after the the effective date of this Policy, the Insureds shall be deemed to have retained any loss for the amount of any such Underlying Insurance which is exhausted or impaired by payment of loss with respect to such claim made prior to the effective date of this Policy. VI. CLAIM PARTICIPATION The Insured shall not admit liability, consent to any judgment against them, or agree to any settlement which is reasonably likely to involve the Limit of Liability of this Policy without the Insurer's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Insurer may, at its sole discretion, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement or defense of any claim against any of the Insureds for matters covered by this Policy even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. All provisions of the Underlying Insurance are considered as part of this Policy except that it shall be the duty of the insureds and not the duty of the Insurer to defend any claims against any of the Insureds. VII. SUBROGATION - RECOVERIES In that this Policy is "Excess Coverage", the Insureds and the Insurer's right of recovery against any person or other entity may not be exclusively subrogated. Despite the foregoing, in the event of any payment under this Policy, the Insurer shall be subrogated to all the Insured's rights of recovery against any person or organization, and the Insureds shall execute and deliver instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights. Any amounts recovered after payment of loss hereunder shall be apportioned in the inverse order of payment to the extent of actual payment. The expenses of all such recovery proceedings shall be apportioned in the ratio of respective recoveries. VIII.
