Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2001 and 2000
(Unaudited)

NOTE A—The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:

    Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), remanufactures and distributes alternators and starters and assembles and distributes spark plug wire sets for the automotive after-market industry (replacement parts sold for use on vehicles after initial purchase). These automotive parts are sold to automotive retail chains and warehouse distributors throughout the United States and in Canada.

    The Company obtains used alternators and starters, commonly known as cores, primarily from its customers (retailers) as trade-ins and by purchasing them from vendors (core brokers). The retailers grant credit to the consumer when the used part is returned to them, and the Company in turn provides a credit to the retailer upon return to the Company. These cores are an essential material needed for the remanufacturing operations. The Company has remanufacturing operations for alternators and starters in California, Singapore and Malaysia. Assembly operations for spark plug wire sets are performed in Tennessee.

[1]

Principles of consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

[2]

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001.

NOTE C—Line of Credit and Term Loan

    On May 31, 2001 the Company and the bank executed the second amended and restated credit agreement. Under the new credit agreement, the maturity date on the advances made to the Company was extended to April 30, 2002 and the balance due of $33,750,000 was split into two separate credit facilities, a revolving line of credit facility of up to $24,750,000 and a $9,000,000 term loan. The amounts available under the line of credit facility are limited to 75% of Eligible Accounts Receivable and 80% of Appraised Net Recovery Value of inventory, in each case as such terms are defined in the May 31, 2001 amended and restated credit agreement. The line of credit facility and the term note provide for interest rates of 2.50% and 2.75%, respectively, above the bank's prime rate, which was 6.00% on September 30, 2001. Each quarter, the spreads above the bank's prime rate can be reduced to 1.75% and 2.00%, respectively and increased to 2.50% and 2.75%, respectively, depending upon changes in the ratio of the Company's funded debt to cash flow. On September 30, 2001, the interest rates for the line of credit facility and the term loan was 7.75% and 8.00% respectively. As of November 7, 2001, the bank's prime rate had dropped to 5.00%, which has resulted in a reduction in the Company's interest rates for both its line of credit facility and its term loan to 6.75% and 7.00% respectively.

    The bank loan agreement includes various financial conditions, including minimum levels of monthly and 12-month cash flow, monthly net operating income (and maximum levels of any net operating loss), tangible net worth and gross sales, and a number of restrictive covenants, including prohibitions against additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, pledge of assets and capital expenditures in excess of $1,000,000 in any 12-month period. If the Company is in default with any of its financial reporting obligations, the bank has the option of increasing the applicable line of credit margin and the applicable term loan margin to 3.00% and 3.25%, respectively, and the option to apply the default interest rate margin of 4% above the then-prevailing rate until such default is cured. Currently, the Company has met all of its financial conditions and restrictive covenants.

NOTE D—Net Income Per Share

    Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and assumes that all dilutive potential shares were converted at the beginning of the year. The Company only has common stock outstanding. Net income per share data for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 is as follows:

		September 30, 2001		September 30, 2000
		(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Net Income		$	2,800,000	$	566,000

    The above computations, for both the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2001 include 62,000 employee stock options authorized by the Board, which are expected to be issued during the period ended December 31, 2001.

NOTE E—Litigation

    The Company has settled the class action lawsuit and related litigation that had been filed against the Company in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Western Division. The class action lawsuit alleged that, over a three-year period, the Company misstated earnings in violation of securities laws. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the class action plaintiffs will receive $7,500,000. Of this amount, the Company's directors and officer's insurance carrier will pay $6,000,000 and the Company will pay the balance. All parties have exchanged releases in connection with this settlement.

    To finance the Company's portion of the settlement agreement, the Company and Mel Marks, the Company's founder and a board member, entered into a stock purchase agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Marks purchased shares of the Company's common stock as of September 19, 2001. The total purchase price for the stock was $1,500,000. The price per share was $1.00. The valuation firm that the Company engaged to render a fairness opinion of this transaction, concluded that this price per share was fair to the Company's shareholders, from a financial point of view. For purposes of this determination, the fairness of the transaction was evaluated as of November 30, 2000, the date that Mr. Marks agreed to provide $1,500,000 to the Company to finance a portion of the class action settlement. In recording the final settlement, the Company reclassified the "Deposit from Shareholder" of $1,500,000 to Shareholders' Equity.

    On January 20, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a formal order of investigation with respect to the Company. In this order, the SEC authorized an investigation into, among other things; the accuracy of the financial information previously filed with the Commission and potential deficiencies in the Company's records and system of internal control. The SEC investigation is proceeding. There can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of the SEC's investigation. In addition, the Company has not filed a number of periodic reports that it is obligated to file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC is aware of this failure and has reminded the Company that it has the authority to revoke or suspend the Company's registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of this failure, which SEC action would prevent sales of the Company's common stock through broker/dealers.

    The Company is subject to various other lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position or future results of operations.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2000

    Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2001 were $91,480,000, an increase of $6,115,000 or 7.2% over the six months ended September 30, 2000. Of this increase in net sales, $2,738,000 was due to the Company's expansion into new product lines; $1,773,000 was a direct result of increased sales to existing customers; and $1,604,000 was related to a decrease in warranty and sales returns attributable to the engineering department focusing on warranty reductions.

    Cost of goods sold increased over the period by $2,689,000 or 3.5% to $80,521,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001 from $77,832,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to additional costs incurred with increased production and sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 88.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to 91.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2000. This percentage decrease is attributable to (i) a reduction in labor costs associated with greater manufacturing efficiencies; (ii) a reduction in material costs, which resulted from the Company obtaining volume discounts from both foreign and domestic suppliers, attributable to a change in the Company's purchasing policies; and (iii) improved productivity due to the Company's consolidation of its facilities.

    General and administrative expenses increased over the periods by $436,000 or 11.4% to $4,246,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001 from $3,810,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased over the periods to 4.6% from 4.4%, and are attributable to an increase in bonus expense associated with the Company's improved performance, which is partially offset by a reduction in salaries and an increase in bad debt expense.

    Sales and marketing expenses decreased over the periods by $52,000 or 8.8% to $542,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001 from $594,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease resulted principally from a reduction in personnel and commissions paid. As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased over the periods to 0.6% from 0.7%.

–9–

    Research and development expenses increased over the periods by $5,000 or 1.9% to $271,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2001 from $266,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of sales, these expenses remained constant at 0.3%.

    For the six months ended September 30, 2001 interest expense net of interest income was $2,191,000. This represents an increase of $172,000 or 8.5% over net interest expense of $2,019,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2000. This increase is principally the result of the Company amending its loan agreement with its bank. As part of the amendment, 400,000 warrants previously issued to the bank were re-priced. This re-pricing resulted in a one-time charge of $360,000. This one-time charge was partially offset by lower interest rates and lower outstanding loan balance(s). Interest expense was comprised principally of interest on the Company's revolving credit facility, term loan and capital leases.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2000

    Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $49,229,000, an increase of $5,265,000 or 12.0% over the three months ended September 30, 2000. As stated above, this net increase in sales is the result of (i) the Company's expansion into new product lines; (ii) increased sales to existing customers; and (iii) a decrease in warranty and sales returns.

    Cost of goods sold increased over the period by $2,588,000 or 6.4% to $42,851,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $40,263,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to additional costs incurred with increased production and sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 87.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to 91.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This percentage decrease is attributable to (i) a reduction in labor costs associated with greater manufacturing efficiencies; (ii) a reduction in material costs, which resulted from the Company obtaining volume discounts from both foreign and domestic suppliers, attributable to a change in the Company's purchasing policies; and (iii) improved productivity due to the Company's consolidation of its facilities.

    General and administrative expenses increased over the periods by $480,000 or 27.8% to $2,204,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $1,724,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased over the periods to 4.6% from 4.4%, and are attributable to an increase in bonus expense associated with the Company's improved performance, which is partially offset by a reduction in salaries and an increase in bad debt expense.

    Sales and marketing expenses decreased over the periods by $14,000 or 5.1% to $262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $276,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease resulted principally from a reduction in personnel and commissions paid. As a percentage of sales, these expenses remained constant at 0.6%.

    Research and development expenses increased over the periods by $40,000 or 33.9% to $158,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $118,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000.

    For the three months ended September 30, 2001 interest expense net of interest income was $954,000. This represents a decrease of $63,000 or 6.2% over net interest expense of $1,017,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease is principally the result of lower interest rates and lower outstanding loan balance(s). Interest expense was comprised principally of interest on the Company's revolving credit facility, term loan and capital leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company finances its operations out of cash flow from operations and historically has utilized borrowings under its existing line of credit. On May 31, 2001 the Company and the bank executed the second amended and restated credit agreement. Under the new credit agreement, the maturity date on the advances made to the Company was extended to April 30, 2002 and the balance due of $33,750,000 was split into two separate credit facilities, a revolving line of credit facility of up to $24,750,000 and a $9,000,000 term loan. The amounts available under the line of credit facility are limited to 75% of Eligible Accounts Receivable and 80% of Appraised Net Recovery Value of inventory, in each case as such terms are defined in the May 31, 2001 amended and restated credit agreement. The line of credit facility and the term note provide for interest rates of 2.50% and 2.75%, respectively, above the bank's prime rate, which was 6.00% on September 30, 2001. Each quarter, the spreads above the bank's prime rate can be reduced to 1.75% and 2.00%, respectively and increased to 2.50% and 2.75%, respectively, depending upon changes in the ratio of the Company's funded debt to cash flow. On September 30, 2001, the interest rates for the line of credit facility and the term loan was 7.75% and 8.00% respectively. As of November 7, 2001, the bank's prime rate had dropped to 5.00%, which has resulted in a reduction in the Company's interest rates for both its line of credit facility and its term loan to drop to 6.75% and 7.00% respectively.

    The bank loan agreement includes various financial conditions, including minimum levels of monthly and 12-month cash flow, monthly net operating income (and maximum levels of any net operating loss), tangible net worth and gross sales, and a number of restrictive covenants, including prohibitions against additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, pledge of assets and capital expenditures in excess of $1,000,000 in any 12-month period. If the Company is in default with any of its financial reporting obligations, the bank has the option of increasing the applicable line of credit margin and the applicable term loan margin at 3.00% and 3.25%, respectively, and the option to apply an additional default interest rate margin of 4% above the then-prevailing rate previously stated, until such default is cured. Currently, the Company has met all of its financial conditions.

    In connection with the execution of the April 20, 2000 amended and restated credit agreement, the Company issued the bank a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.045 per share. In connection with the execution of the May 31, 2001 second amended and restated credit agreement, the exercise price under the warrant was reduced to $.01 per share. This resulted in interest expense and additional paid-in capital increasing by $360,000.

    As noted in the preceding discussion, to date, the bank has been willing to waive defaults by the Company with respect to its obligations under its credit agreement with the bank. There can be no assurance that the bank will be willing to waive any future defaults by the Company, and the refusal by the bank to do so in the future could have a material adverse impact on the Company. In addition, the Company is in the process of seeking replacement financing. If the Company is not able to refinance the bank debt at maturity (April 30, 2002), and the bank refuses to extend the maturity date, this could have a material adverse impact upon the Company.

    During the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company's liquidity and need for capital resources was impacted by an increase in accounts receivable from $7,324,000 at March 31, 2001 to $19,554,000 at September 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the timing of the customer payments and stock adjustments and returns that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and the overall increase in Company sales during the period ended September 30, 2001. This increase was also attributable to changes in the payment terms provided by the Company to certain of its customers. These changes can be expected to increase the Company's future need for capital.

Consolidation of Operations

    At the present time, the consolidation effort pertaining to the Company's facilities in Torrance, California is approximately 98% complete. When this consolidation is completed, the Company believes that its facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its foreseeable production and warehouse requirements. The Company is also in the process of consolidating its Nashville operations into a smaller facility.

    In addition, the Company has facilities at its subsidiary locations in Malaysia and Singapore. The Company is considering moving the assembly of spark plug wire sets to Malaysia during the second half of the current fiscal year.

Customer Concentration

    The Company is substantially dependent upon sales to six major customers. During the three months ended September 30, 2001 sales to these six customers constituted approximately 99% of the Company's total sales. During the same period in fiscal 2000, sales to the Company's top six customers totaled approximately 97% of the Company's total sales. Any meaningful reduction in the level of sales to any of these customers could have a materially adverse impact upon the Company. In addition, the concentration of the Company's sales has increasingly limited the Company's ability to negotiate favorable prices and favorable payment terms for its products.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    Quantitative Disclosures.  The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its existing debt and any future financing requirements. The Company's variable rate debt relates to borrowings under the Credit Facility (see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources").

    The following table presents the weighted-average interest rates expected on the Company's existing debt instruments.

Principal (Notional) Amount by Expected Maturity Date (As of September 30, 2001)

As noted in the discussion under the caption "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources", the spread above the bank's prime rate can increase or decrease depending upon changes in the ratio of the Company's funded debt to cash flow.

    Qualitative Disclosures.  The Company's primary exposure relates to (1) interest rate risk on its long-term and short-term borrowings, (2) the Company's ability to pay or refinance its borrowings at maturity at market rates and (3) the impact of interest rate movements on the Company's ability to meet interest expense requirements and exceed financial covenants. While the Company cannot predict or manage its ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movement will have on its existing debt, management evaluates the Company's financial position on an on-going basis.
