Table of Contents

(1) | Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2014 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

(2) | Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard was to originally be effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015 the FASB decided to defer by one year the effective dates of the new standard for both public and nonpublic entities reporting under US GAAP. Early adoption would be permitted for all entities, but not before the original public entity effective date (i.e. annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016).
Entities can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Entities electing the full retrospective adoption will apply the standard to each period presented in the financial statements. This means that entities will have to apply the new guidance as if it had been in effect since the inception of all its contracts with customers presented in the financial statements. Entities that elect the modified retrospective approach will apply the guidance retrospectively only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. This means that entities will have to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. The new revenue standard will be applied to contracts that are in progress at the date of initial application.
The Company is currently evaluating which adoption method it plans to use and is assessing the potential effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(3) | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company recorded Goodwill of $307.4 million as part of the HomeLink® acquisition. The carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015 was $307.4 million.
In addition to annual impairment testing, which was performed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and indicated that the estimated fair value of the Automotive reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including goodwill, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value thus resulting in the need for interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and

macro-economic conditions. No such events or circumstances in the most recently completed quarter indicated the need for interim impairment testing.
The patents and intangible assets and related change in carrying values are set forth in the table belows:

Amortization expense on patents and intangible assets was approximately $5.5 million and $11.0 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to approximately $5.5 million and $11.0 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company continues to estimate amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 to be approximately $22 million annually.

(4) | Investments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for its financial assets and liabilities, and for its non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to

(4) Investments (continued)
provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases, require estimates of fair-market value. This standard also expanded financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair-value measurements, including the effect of such measure on earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The Company’s investment securities (common stocks and mutual funds) are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, and as such are classified as Level 1 assets.
Assets or liabilities that have recurring fair value measurements are shown below as of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014:

ASC 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, as amended, provides guidance on determining when an investment is other than temporarily impaired. The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. No equity investment losses were considered to be other than temporary during the periods presented.

technical personnel and as a means for retaining certain employees of the Company and allow them to purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation and thereby have an additional incentive to contribute to the prosperity of the Company.
The fair value of each option grant in the employee stock option plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Dividend Yield (1) | 2.12 | % |  | 2.24 | % |  | 2.13 | % |  | 2.29 | %

Weighted-avg. grant date fair value | $4.25 |  | $3.93 |  | $4.51 |  | $4.10

(1)Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant.

(2) | Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant.

(3) | Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant.

(4) | Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

Under the employee stock option plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after five to seven years. As of June 30, 2015, there was $24,504,223 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods.

(9) | Debt and Financing Arrangements

Credit Agreement
On September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain banks and agents.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is borrower under a $150 million senior revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and a $150 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is entitled, to further request an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, the Company is entitled to the benefit of swing loans from amounts otherwise available under the Revolver in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million and to request Letters of Credit from amounts otherwise available under the Revolver in the aggregate principle amount up to $20 million, both subject to certain conditions. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are not secured, but are subject to certain covenants. The Revolver expires and the Term Loan matures on September 27, 2018.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made principal repayments of $1.9 million and $3.8 million respectively, plus accrued interest, on the Term Loan, and accrued interest on the Revolver. The Company used cash and cash equivalents to fund the payments. As of June 30, 2015, $125 million was outstanding on the Revolver with availability of an additional $25 million. Under current terms of the Term Loan, the Company will make principal repayments of $7.5 million annually through the maturity date of the Term Loan. As of June 30, 2015, $136.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan.
As of June 30, 2015, the borrowing rate on both its Term Loan and Revolver are derived from the one month LIBOR, and based on the Company's leverage ratio as of June 30, 2015, the interest rate on its borrowings is equal to 1.19%. Interest expense are netted within the "Other, net" section of the Consolidated Statements of Income and were $0.8 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that place certain limitations on the Company.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement.

(9) Debt and Financing Arrangements (continued)
Interest Rate Swap
On October 1, 2014 the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a bank (the “Counterparty”). The Counterparty is among the syndicate of lenders under the existing Credit Agreement entered into on September 27, 2013. The Company entered into the interest rate swap transaction to mitigate the Company’s floating rate interest risk on an aggregate of $150 million of the Company’s debt that is currently outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap has an effective date of July 31, 2015 and a termination date of September 27, 2018 (which is the expiration date of the Credit Agreement). The Company is required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments to the Counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $150 million for the rate swap, while the Counterparty is obligated to make monthly floating rate payments to the Company referencing the same notional amount. The interest rate swap transaction has the effect of fixing the annual interest rate payable on $150 million of the Company’s outstanding debt under it's existing credit facility to 1.89%, as of the effective date. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreement are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. This derivative instrument has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on the related debt.
Notwithstanding the terms of the interest rate swap transaction, the Company is ultimately obligated for all amounts due and payable under its existing Credit Agreement.
The notional amount of the Company's derivative instruments are as follows:

| June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Interest Rate swap | $ | 150,000,000 |  |  | $ | 150,000,000 |

The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the market approach to derive the value of its level 2 fair value measurements. Interest rate swaps are valued using publicized swap curves.

Fair Value Measurements
Quoted Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  |  |
| June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Financial assets: |  |  |
Interest Rate Swap Asset | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Financial Liabilities: |  |  |
Interest Rate Swap Liability (Other Accrued Liabilities) | $ | 3,343,622 |  |  | $ | 1,475,702 |

Based on loan balances as of June 30, 2015 and the effective date of July 31, 2015 of the interest rate swap, a one percent increase in the Company's borrowing rate would increase net interest expense paid by the Company on its borrowings by approximately $1.1 million dollars on an annual basis, in addition to the actual increase in interest expense the Company will incur once the interest rate swap becomes effective.

(10) | Equity

The decrease in common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to share repurchases of 1,427,469 shares and 2,834,064 shares, respectively, pursuant to the Company's

(13) Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 32.5% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 27.4% for the same period in 2014. Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized incremental research and development tax credits of approximately $5.5 million as a result of amended tax return filings for calendar years 2010 through 2012 to claim incremental research and development tax credits.
(14) Stock Split
On December 5, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of our outstanding shares of common stock to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. On December 31, 2014, shareholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2014, were issued one additional share of common stock for each share owned by such shareholder. The stock split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 147.6 million to approximately 295.2 million. Share

sales in the second quarter of 2015 down from 4.2% in the the second quarter of 2014. Total operating expenses were $37.4 million which increased 8.6% or $3.0 million from $34.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.
Total Other Income & Expense. Total other income for the second quarter of 2015 decreased by $3.5 million when compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower realized gains on the sale of equity investments, in the second quarter of 2015.
Taxes. The effective tax rate was 32.5% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 27.4% for same quarter of 2014. Effective tax rates differ from statutory federal income tax rates, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, provisions for state and local income taxes and permanent tax differences. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized incremental research and development tax credits of approximately $5.5 million as a result of amended tax return filings for calendar years 2010 through 2012 to claim said incremental research and development tax credits.
Net Income. Net income for the second quarter of 2015 decreased by $2.2 million or 3% when compared with the second quarter of 2014, due to increases in sales and operating income that were more than offset by lower other income and increased income taxes versus the second quarter of 2014.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $74.0 million or 11.0% when compared with the same period in 2014.
Automotive net sales for the first six months of 2015 were $731.1 million, up 11% compared with automotive net sales of $655.9 million for the first six months of 2014, driven by a 11% period over period increase in automotive mirror unit shipments. North American automotive mirror unit shipments in the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 10% to 5.8 million units compared with same period in 2014, primarily due to increased penetration of the Company's interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors. International automotive mirror unit shipments in the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 11% to 10.3 million units compared with the same period in 2014 primarily due to increased penetration of the Company's interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold for the first six months of 2015 increased to 61.4%, up from 60.6% in the same period last year primarily due to annual customer price reductions, foreign currency fluctuations, and increased manufacturing costs, which were partially offset by purchasing cost reductions. Annual customer price reductions had a negative impact of approximately 125 - 150 basis points. Each of the other negative factors is estimated to have impacted cost of goods sold independently as a percentage of net sales by approximately 25 - 50 basis points.
Operating Expenses. Engineering, research and development (E, R & D) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 7.8% or $3.2 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to increased staffing, testing and prototype expense, which continue to development and launch of new business.
Selling, general and administrative (S, G & A) expenses for the first six months of 2015 increased 4% or $1.0 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily to severance related costs of approximately $2 million, which were partially offset by foreign currency fluctuations.
Total Other Income. Total other income for for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $7.3 million when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to reduced realized gains on sales of equity investments in the first six months of 2015.
Taxes. The effective tax rate was 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 29.9% for same period of 2014. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate, primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, provisions for state and local income taxes, and permanent tax differences. The increase in the effective tax rate from the same period in 2014 is primarily due to incremental research and development tax credits related to amended tax return filings for calendar years 2010 through 2012, which were recognized in the second quarter of 2014. Such research and development tax credits provided an incremental benefit of approximately $5.5 million which were still higher than additional benefits of approximately $3.9 million from the reversal of the uncertain tax position reserve related to the amended filings recognized in the first quarter of 2015.

BUSINESS UPDATE
The Company continues to outpace vehicle production growth thanks in large part to the many different product launches that have been executed in calendar year 2015. The Company's unit and revenue growth growth continue due in part to introduction of the Company's electrochromic technology on a number of vehicles as new applications.
Base interior auto-dimming mirrors were launched on 10 vehicle models in the first quarter of 2015 and 6 vehicle models in the second quarter of 2015. A number of those launches involved the Company's frameless interior mirror technology. The Company’s growth was further driven by increased applications of electronic features. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company launched on 13 vehicle models that launched with advanced features and 10 vehicle models that launched again, with advanced features, in the second quarter of 2015.
Exterior auto-dimming and non auto-dimming mirrors with advanced features are also continuing growth and penetration as evidenced by the Company's launch on 7 vehicle models in the first quarter of 2015, and 14 additional vehicle model launches in the second quarter of 2015.
These additional vehicle models offering the Company's interior, exterior and advanced feature products as well as further penetration of its products on existing models, helped drive a 7% organic growth rate for interior mirrors and a 21% organic growth rate for exterior mirrors during the first 6 months of 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year, against flat light vehicle production rates in the Company's primary markets. Electronic feature content has contributed to the growth rate in 2015, evidenced by revenue growth out-pacing unit growth rates, despite a 1% headwind from foreign exchange rates and the impact of annual customer price reductions in the range of approximately 2 to 3%. The first six months of 2015 are also highlighted by the fact that the Company has launched and is shipping auto dimming mirrors on multiple A segment vehicles with many of those vehicles utilizing advanced electronic features such as reverse camera displays, SmartBeam® and HomeLink®.
SmartBeam® is the Company's proprietary high beam control system integrated into its auto-dimming mirror. SmartBeam® Generation 4, which was developed using the fourth generation of the Company's custom designed CMOS imager, has an advanced feature set made possible by the high dynamic range of the imager including: high beam assist; dynamic forward lighting with high beams constantly on; LED matrix beam; and a variety of specific detection applications including tunnel, fog, road type as well as certain Advanced Driver Assist System features such as lane detection, object detection, and collision detection. The Company believes it has a unique advantage in the automotive industry with SmartBeam®. The camera chip is designed by the Company specifically for driver assist applications, with custom optics and algorithms written by the Company and specifically tailored for its chip and optical systems. The Company packages the control electronics inside of its interior rearview mirrors with a self-calibrating camera attached to the mirror mount with optimal mechanical packaging which also provides for ease of service. Competing products attach their camera and electronics directly to the windshield, which causes additional maintenance in the event of a windshield replacement. In addition, the Company has long been integrating its SmartBeam® camera products to optimize performance by fusing with other systems on the vehicle, including radar, navigation, steering and related modules provided by other suppliers. This enables the Company to provide its customers with a highly customizable solution that meets their unique needs and specifications.
HomeLink® is a vehicle to home communication system that enables many home automation functions with the simple push of a button. In 2015, HomeLink® continues to be a growth are of the business as consumers and automakers contineu to increase their demand for this type of functionality in the vehicle. HomeLink® V, which combines bi-directional communication capability for garage doors, gates, lights, locks, and security systems with the ability to function across the globe, provides the Company with a technology platform for
21

Table of Contents
innovative, new applications in the vehicle environment. In 2014, the Company announced HomeLink® for applications for alternative automobiles and vehicle types which include but are not limited to motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, tractors, combines, lawn mowers, loaders, bulldozers, road-graders, backhoes and golf carts. These product developments will utilize the market leading HomeLink® V system of communication to the home, door locks, garage doors, gates, lights, security systems, and an increasing array of home automation products. The Company is also working with compatibility partners for HomeLink® applications in new markets like China where HomeLink® has never before been offered. The unique attributes of the China market allow for potential new use cases of this product and offer what the Company believes to be a real opportunity for growth of the HomeLink® brand and product.
The most recent advanced electronic feature that the Company has announced is its Full Display Mirror. The Full Display Mirror begins production in the fourth quarter of 2015. When it comes to driving safety, seeing what is behind you in the rearview mirror is critical. Current automotive design trends are yielding vehicles with small rear windows that are often further obstructed by headrests, passengers, and roof support pillars. These factors can significantly hinder the mirror’s rearward view. The Company's Full Display Mirror is an intelligent rear vision system that uses a custom, externally mounted video camera and mirror-integrated video display to optimize a vehicle’s rearward view. This rear vision system consists of a hybrid Full Display Mirror that offers bi-modal functionality. In mirror mode, the product functions as a standard auto dimming rearview mirror which means that during nighttime driving, digital light sensors talk to one another via a microprocessor to automatically darken the mirror when glare is detected. However, with the flip of a switch, the mirror enters display mode, and a clear, bright, LCD display appears through the mirror’s reflective surface, providing a wide, unobstructed rearward view. The bi-modality of the Full Display Mirror is essential, because in the event of any failure of the camera or display the product is able to function as a standard mirror, which is a long-standing safety requirement in the automotive industry. In addition, the driver has the ability to switch between modes to accommodate usage preferences for various weather conditions, lighting conditions, and driving tasks. The Company is excited about the first production launch of its Full Display Mirror in the fourth quarter of 2015 on the Cadillac CT6 and the Company continues to have broad interest from multiple automakers for development and launch of the Full Display Mirror going forward.
To complement the Full Display Mirror, the Company has announced that it has developed a video camera system designed for today’s advanced automotive display application requirements using its proprietary CMOS imager. The Company believes that its CMOS imager, has a competitive advantage in video applications because it can present more detail in various lighting situations than other cameras the Company understands are currently available in the market. The Company's Full Display Mirror and video camera are designed as a system and employ some of the latest technological advances in automotive video cameras and displays.
Automaker requests to NHTSA for cameras and video displays to replace automotive rearview mirrors has been a consideration in regulatory discussion and specification development for many years. Currently, rearview mirrors are the primary safety function for rear vision in the automotive industry. Some of the challenges to replacing rearview mirrors entirely would include: limited viewing area; poor depth perception; cleanliness of the camera lens in all weather conditions; dynamic range of the camera; and the fundamental issue of what does the driver do if the camera fails due to electrical or interference issues. The Company develops, designs and manufactures both rearview mirrors along with its newest generations of products which include CMOS imager cameras and video displays and has been shipping earlier generations of these products for many years. The Company is excited about the future potential for these advanced technologies, and will continue to be an active participant in the development of products that the Company believes will position it to be a market leader in this area.
The Company does continue to experience pricing pressure from its automotive customers and competitors, which will continue to cause downward pressure on its profit margins. The Company works continuously to offset these price reductions with engineering and purchasing cost reductions, productivity improvements, and increases in unit sales volume.
In 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a final rule requiring rearview video systems in U.S. light vehicles by May 1, 2018, with a phase-in schedule requirement of 10% of vehicles after May 2016, 40% of vehicles after May 2017, and 100% of vehicles after May 2018. In this release, NHTSA estimated that 57% of model year 2014 vehicles already have a rear video system, and that even without a final rule, 73% of the vehicles sold into North America would have already included a rearview video system by 2018. This NHTSA ruling, as is indicated from the percentage of U.S. vehicles already having a solution, does not currently

indicate an immediate opportunity for new Rear Camera Display ("RCD") mirror applications for the Company. Customer opportunities may exist by the time the 100% requirement is in place, but no new material guidance is available from the Company at this time. The Company’s RCD mirror application meets all the technical requirements of the NHTSA ruling when installed in a vehicle and appropriately paired with an OEM specified camera.
Because the Company sells its products throughout the world, and automotive manufacturing is highly dependent on economic conditions, the Company can be affected by uncertain economic conditions that can reduce demand for its products.
The Company previously announced that it was providing variably dimmable windows for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner series of aircraft. The Company continues to work with aircraft manufacturers that have an interest in this technology regarding potential additional programs.
The Company believes that its patents and trade secrets provide it with a competitive advantage in automotive rearview mirrors and other electronic features that it offers in vehicles. Claims of patent infringement can be costly and time-consuming to address. To that end, the Company obtains intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business to strengthen its intellectual property portfolio to minimize the risk of infringement.
The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently estimates that top line revenue for calendar year 2015 will be between $1.52 and $1.55 billion, and that the gross profit margin for calendar year 2015 will be between 38.5% and 39%. These estimates are based on light vehicle production forecasts in the regions to which the Company ships product, as well as the estimated option rates for its mirrors on prospective vehicle models and anticipated product mix. Continuing uncertainties, including: light vehicle production levels; automotive plant shutdowns; sales rates in Europe, Asia and North America; currency rate fluctuations; challenging macroeconomic environments; OEM strategies and cost pressures; customer inventory management and the impact of potential automotive customer (including their Tier 1 suppliers) and supplier bankruptcies; work stoppages, strikes, etc., which could disrupt shipments to these customers, making forecasting difficult.
The Company also estimates that its operating expenses, which include engineering, research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses are currently expected to be between $148 and $151 million for calendar year 2015, primarily due to increased staffing and benefit costs which continue to support growth and the development of new business.
In light of on-going demand for the Company's auto-dimming mirrors and electronics, and previously announced facility expansion projects, the Company currently continues to anticipate that 2015 capital expenditures will be approximately $95 - $105 million, a majority of which will be production equipment purchases. 2015 capital expenditures are currently anticipated to be financed from current cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows from operating activities.
The Company continues to estimate that depreciation and amortization expense for calendar year 2015 will be approximately $85 - $90 million.
Finally, the Company also estimates that its tax rate will be between 31.5% and 32% for calendar year 2015.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements contained in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and/or on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company’s estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified critical accounting policies used in determining estimates and assumptions in the amounts reported in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
