GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrant, without audit, 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 Registrant 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 Registrant's 2004 annual report on Form 10-K. (2) 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 Registrant as of June 30, 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. (3) Inventories consisted of the following at the respective balance sheet dates: June 30, 2005 December 31, 2004 ------------- ----------------- Raw materials $20,140,128 $18,102,873 Work-in-process 4,501,907 3,894,864 Finished goods 9,860,190 8,603,052 ----------- ----------- $34,502,225 $30,600,789 =========== =========== (4) All earnings per share amounts, weighted daily average of shares of common stock outstanding, common stock, and additional paid-in capital have been restated, to reflect the Company's announcement on April 1, 2005, of a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent common stock dividend for each outstanding share, issued to shareholders on May 6, 2005. The ex-dividend date was May 9, 2005.

The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 (Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees) and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost due to these plans is reflected in net income, since options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation. -5-

As a result of the vesting acceleration, approximately 2.3 million shares became immediately exercisable and an additional approximate $13.6 million of proforma stock-based employee compensation expense was recognized in the first quarter. The objective of this Company action is primarily to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options in future financial statements, upon the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, the Company has also received shareholder approval of an amendment to its Employee Stock Option Plan to allow the grant of non-qualified stock options. (7) Comprehensive income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income adjusted for items such as unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income was as follows: June 30, 2005 June 30, 2004 ------------- ------------- Quarter Ended $26,133,449 $28,354,898 Six Months Ended $49,922,035 $59,752,161 (8) The increase in common stock during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, was attributable to the issuance of 550,891 and 776,137 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock under its stock-based compensation plans. The Company has also recorded a $0.085 per share cash dividend in the first and second quarters. The second quarter dividend of approximately $13,303,000, was declared on May 17, 2005, and was paid on July 22, 2005.

GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) (10) On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which required all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values, and was effective for public companies for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that companies will be allowed to implement SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year after June 15, 2005. The Company does not intend to adopt a fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation until required (January 1, 2006). Proforma quarterly earnings and certain Company actions taken in response to SFAS No. 123(R) are disclosed in Note 5 of this quarterly statement. -7-

GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: SECOND QUARTER 2005 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2004 Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of 2005 increased by approximately $2,738,000, or 2%, when compared with the second quarter last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive auto-dimming mirrors increased by approximately $2,292,000, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2005, when compared with the second quarter last year, primarily due to a 3% increase in auto-dimming mirror unit shipments from approximately 3,001,000 in the second quarter of 2004 to 3,095,000 in the current quarter. This unit increase primarily reflected the increased penetration of interior auto-dimming mirrors on 2005 model year vehicles during the second quarter of 2005. Unit shipments to customers in North America for the current quarter increased by 1% compared with the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to higher unit shipments to transplants, partially offset by lower light vehicle production levels at certain North-American-based automakers. Mirror unit shipments for the current quarter to automotive customers outside North America increased by 5% compared with the second quarter in 2004, primarily due to increased penetration. Net sales of the Company's fire protection products increased 8% for the current quarter, primarily due to stronger sales of certain fire alarms and signal products. Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased from 58% in the second quarter of 2004 to 63% in the second quarter of 2005. This percentage increase primarily reflected automotive customer price reductions, higher fixed overhead expenses and lower mirror unit shipment growth resulting in reduced capacity utilization. Each factor is estimated to have impacted cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales by approximately 1-2 percentage points. Operating Expenses. Engineering, research and development expenses for the current quarter increased approximately $1,252,000, from 6% to 7% of net sales, when compared with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting additional staffing, engineering and testing for new product development, including mirrors with additional electronic features. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $131,000, for the current quarter, but remained at 5% of net sales, when compared with the second quarter of 2004. This increased expense primarily reflected the continued expansion of the Company's overseas sales offices, partially offset by a reduction in state taxes. Total Other Income. Total other income for the current quarter increased by approximately $1,350,000 when compared with the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to increased interest income due to higher interest rates, partially offset by lower miscellaneous other income. Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 32.5% in the second quarter of 2004 to 31.5% in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to increased tax-exempt investment income. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005, VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005, increased by $1,052,000, or 0.4%, when compared with the same period last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive auto-dimming mirrors increased by $520,000, or 0.2%, as auto-dimming mirror unit shipments increased by 2% from approximately 5,983,000 in the first six months of 2004 to 6,125,000 units in the first six months of 2005. This increase primarily reflected the increased penetration of interior auto-dimming mirrors on 2005 model year vehicles. Unit shipments to customers in North America decreased by 2%, as a result of reduced shipments to domestic automakers due to their lower production levels that were partially offset by increased unit shipments to transplants. Mirror shipments to automotive customers outside North America increased by 6%, primarily due to increased penetration of auto-dimming mirrors on 2005 model year vehicles. Net sales of the Company's fire protection products increased 5% in the first six months of 2005 versus the first six months of 2004, primarily due to stronger sales of certain fire alarm and signal products. -8-

Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased from 58% in the six months ended June 30, 2004, to 62% in the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily reflecting automotive customer price reductions, higher fixed overhead expenses, and lower mirror unit shipment growth resulting in reduced capacity utilization. Each factor is estimated to have impacted cost of goods sold by approximately 1-2 percentage points. Operating Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, engineering, research and development expenses increased approximately $1,786,000, but remained at 6% of net sales, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to additional staffing, engineering and testing for new product development, including mirrors with additional electronic features. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, but remained at 5% of net sales, when compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting the continued expansion of the Company's overseas sales offices, partially offset by a reduction in state taxes. Other Income - Net. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, increased $2,498,000 when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased interest income, partially offset by lower miscellaneous other income. Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 32.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2004, to 31.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to increased tax-exempt investment income. FINANCIAL CONDITION: Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005, decreased to $70,680,000, compared to $71,598,000, for the same period last year, primarily due to lower net income. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2005, increased to $28,729,000, compared to $14,175,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to new facility construction. The Company currently expects that the construction of its fourth automotive manufacturing facility and a new technical center will be completed in the spring of 2006. The Company plans to invest approximately $35-40 million for the new facilities during 2004-2006, which will be funded from its cash and cash equivalents on hand. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2005, increased approximately $16,753,000 compared to December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to cash flow from operations, less dividends paid. Accounts payable as of June 30, 2005, increased $11,675,000, compared to December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to increased capital spending and the timing of weekly payments. Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term investments totaling approximately $679,123,000 as of June 30, 2005, together with internally generated cash flow and an unsecured $5,000,000 line of credit from a bank, to be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs for the next year and for the foreseeable future. On October 8, 2002, the Company announced a share repurchase plan, under which it may purchase up to 8,000,000 shares (post-split) based on a number of factors, including market conditions, the market price of the Company's common stock, anti-dilutive effect on earnings, available cash and other factors that the Company deems appropriate. On July 20, 2005, the Company announced that it had raised the price at which the Company may repurchase shares under the existing plan. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 830,000 shares (post-split) at a cost of approximately $10,247,000. No shares have been repurchased subsequently by the Company. TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS: During the first quarter of 2005, the Company negotiated an extension to its long-term agreement with General Motors in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Under the extension, Gentex will be sourced all of the interior auto-dimming rearview mirrors programs for GM and its worldwide affiliates through August 2009, and includes all but two low-volume models that had previously been awarded to a Gentex competitor under a lifetime contract. The new business also includes the GMT360 program, which is the mid-size truck/SUV platform that currently does not offer auto-dimming mirrors. The new GM programs will be transferred to Gentex by no later -9-

than the 2007 model year. We currently estimate that this new business represents incremental auto-dimming mirror units in the range of 500,000 on an annualized basis. The Company also negotiated a price reduction for the GM OnStar feature in its auto-dimming mirrors, effective January 1, 2005, in connection with GM's plan to make their OnStar system standard across their vehicle models over the next several years. The Company currently expects that auto-dimming mirror unit shipments will be 5-10% higher in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004, and 10-15% higher in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared with the fourth quarter of 2004. 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. The Company utilizes the light vehicle production forecasting services of CSM Worldwide, and CSM's current forecasts for light vehicle production for calendar 2005 are approximately 15.7 million units for North America, 20.5 million for Europe and 13.1 million for Japan and Korea. The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying correlations and volatilities, including foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, there were no significant changes in the market risks reported in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K report. The Company has some assets, liabilities and operations outside the United States, which currently are not significant. Because the Company sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, it could be significantly affected by weak economic conditions in worldwide markets that could reduce demand for its products. The Company continues to experience pricing pressures from its automotive customers, which have affected, and which will continue to affect, its margins to the extent that the Company is unable to offset the price reductions with productivity improvements, engineering and purchasing cost reductions, and increases in unit sales volume. In addition, profit pressures at certain automakers are resulting in increased cost reduction efforts by them, including requests for additional price reductions, decontenting certain features from vehicles, and warranty cost-sharing programs, which could adversely impact the Company's sales growth and margins. The Company also continues to experience some pressure for select raw material cost increases. The automotive industry is experiencing increasing financial stresses due to continuing pricing pressures, lower domestic production levels, and commodity material cost increases. Automakers have been experiencing increased volatility and uncertainty in executing planned new programs which have, in some cases, resulted in cancellations or delays of new vehicle platforms, package reconfigurations and inaccurate volume forecasts. This increased volatility and uncertainty has made it more difficult for the Company to forecast future sales and effectively utilize capital, engineering, research and development, and human resource investments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its consolidated financial statements. On March 30, 2005, in response to the required implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) as disclosed in Note 10, the Company accelerated the vesting of current "under water" stock options. As a result of the vesting acceleration, approximately 2.3 million shares became immediately exercisable and an additional approximate $13.6 million of proforma stock-based employee compensation expense was recognized in the first quarter. The objective of this Company action is primarily to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options in future financial statements, upon the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, the Company has also received shareholder approval of an amendment to its Employee Stock Option Plan to allow the grant of non-qualified stock options. On April 1, 2005, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent common stock dividend for each outstanding share, issued to shareholders on May 6, 2005. The ex-dividend date was May 9, 2005. -10-

On October 1, 2002, Magna International acquired Donnelly Corporation, the Company's major competitor for sales of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to domestic and foreign vehicle manufacturers and their mirror suppliers. The Company sells certain automatic-dimming rearview mirror sub-assemblies to Magna Donnelly. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant impact of Magna's acquisition of Donnelly upon the Company; however, any ultimate significant impact has not yet been determined. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The information called for by this item is provided under the caption "Trends and Developments" under Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of June 30, 2005, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures [(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e)]. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of June 30, 2005, to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period in which this Form 10-Q was being prepared. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, about the global automotive industry, the economy and the Company itself, and involve risks and uncertainties described under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and "Trends and Developments." Words like "anticipates," "believes," "confident," "estimates," "expects," "forecast," "likely," "plans," "projects," and "should," and variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, expense, likelihood and degree of occurrence. These risks include, without limitation, employment and general economic conditions, the pace of economic recovery in the U.S. and in international markets, automotive production levels worldwide, the types of products purchased by customers, competitive pricing pressures, currency fluctuations, the financial strength of the Company's customers, the mix of products purchased by customers, the ability to continue to make product innovations, the success of newly introduced products (e.g. SmartBeam), and other risks identified in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what is expressed or forecasted. Furthermore, the Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. -11-

EXHIBIT 10(b)(2) FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE GENTEX CORPORATION QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED, EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 26, 2004) This FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE GENTEX CORPORATION QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN is adopted by the Board of Directors of Gentex Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the "Corporation"), as of the 4th day of March, 2005, with reference to the following: A. The Gentex Corporation Qualified Stock Option Plan (As Amended and Restated, Effective February 26, 2004) (the "Plan") was approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors on February 26, 2004, and was approved by the Corporation's shareholders on May 13, 2004. B. The Board of Directors has elected to amend the Plan to permit the grant of both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. This First Amendment is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation. NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, the Plan is amended as follows: 1. The title of the Plan is hereby amended to be the "GENTEX CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN." 2. The following definitions are hereby added as Paragraphs 2(k), (l), and (m) of the Plan: k. "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. l. "Incentive Stock Option" or "ISO" shall mean an option to purchase shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to this Plan, which is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and is intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. m. "Nonqualified Stock Option" or "NQSO" shall mean an option to purchase shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to this Plan, which is not an Incentive Stock Option.

3. The following new Paragraph 14 is hereby added to the Plan: 14. TYPES OF STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any eligible employee one or more Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, and/or a combination of both types of options. To the extent that any option does not qualify as an ISO (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such option or the portion thereof that does not qualify shall constitute a separate NQSO. Whenever possible, each provision in this Plan and of each ISO granted pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted in such a manner as to entitle each ISO granted pursuant to this Plan to the tax treatment afforded by Section 422 of the Code. If any provision of this Plan or of any ISO granted pursuant to this Plan shall be held not to comply with requirements necessary to entitle such ISO to such tax treatment, then (i) such provision shall be deemed to have contained from the outset such language as shall be necessary to entitle the ISO to the tax treatment afforded under Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) all other provisions of this Plan and the applicable ISO shall remain in full force and effect. If any Option Agreement for an ISO granted pursuant to this Plan does not explicitly include any terms required to entitle such ISO to the tax treatment afforded by Section 422 of the Code, all such terms shall be deemed implicit in the designation of such ISO and the ISO shall be deemed to have been granted subject to all such terms. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, no term of this Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended, or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under this Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of Optionees affected, to disqualify any ISO under such Section 422. The aggregate Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which one or more ISOs (or other incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, under all other option plans of the Corporation) granted on or after January 1, 1987, that are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year, shall not exceed the $100,000 limitation imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. 4. In all other respects, the Plan shall continue in full force and effect. CERTIFICATION The foregoing First Amendment was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, effective March 4, 2005, subject to the approval of the Corporation's shareholders. /s/ Connie Hamblin -------------------------- Connie Hamblin, Secretary Gentex Corporation
