GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) The 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 generally accepted accounting
principles 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 condensed consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Registrant's 1996 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 March 31, 1997, and December
31, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented.
(3) Inventories consisted of the following at the respective quarter ends:
March 31, 1997 December 31, 1996
-------------- -----------------
Raw materials $5,348,393 $3,860,534
Work-in-process 348,336 348,336
Finished goods 2,157,112 1,971,552
---------- ----------
$7,853,841 $6,180,422
========== ==========
(4) During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company reclassified
$11,207,492 of U.S. Government fixed income securities from
held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. This resulted in recording an
unrealized net of tax gain of $24,621.
(5) All earnings per share amounts and weighted daily average of shares of
common stock outstanding have been restated, to reflect the two-for-one
stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent common stock dividend
issued to shareholders on June 24, 1996.

GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
FIRST QUARTER 1997 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 1996
Net Sales. Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased by
approximately $5,994,000, or 17%, when compared with the first quarter
last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors increased by
17% as automatic mirror unit shipments increased by 20% from
approximately 720,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to 864,000 in the
current quarter. This increase reflected increased penetration on
domestic and foreign 1997 model year vehicles for interior and exterior
electrochromic Night Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors. Mirror unit
shipments to automotive customers outside North America increased by
46% compared with the first quarter in 1996. Shipments to customers in
North America increased by 11%, compared with approximate 5% growth in
North American light vehicle production. Net sales of the Company's
fire protection products increased 12%, primarily due to increased
sales of the Company's audible and visual signals, such as primary
evacuation horns and strobe warning lights.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
increased from 62% in the first quarter of 1996 to 65% for the
comparable period in 1997. This increased percentage primarily
reflected automotive customer price reductions not fully offset by
productivity improvements, relatively low yields on the Company's new
aspheric exterior mirrors as volume shipments began during the quarter,
and increased overhead and start-up expenses for the new 1998 model
year mirror programs.
Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
approximately $350,000, but remained at 5% of net sales, when compared
with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting additional
staffing for new product development, including aspheric exterior
mirrors, thin glass exterior mirrors, and mirrors with other electronic
features. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $952,000, and decreased from 10% to 6% of net sales, when
compared with the first quarter of 1996. This decreased expense
primarily reflected lower patent litigation legal expense accruals of
$30,000, compared to $1,200,000 last year. During the first quarter
in 1996, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $4,000,000 in
connection with the settlement of its patent litigation with Donnelly
Corporation.
Other Income - Net. Investment income increased by approximately
$142,000 when compared with the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to
the higher investable fund balances.
FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
investments totaling approximately $103,482,000 at March 31, 1997,
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 foreseeable future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.)
TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS:
In addition to price reductions over the life of its long-term
contracts, 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, the Company continues to experience some pressure for raw
material cost increases. The Company began volume shipments of its new
aspheric exterior mirrors during the first quarter and will begin
volume shipments of its new thin glass exterior mirrors toward the end
of the second quarter; margins will be adversely affected to the extent
that the Company is unable to improve glass yields to target levels and
ramp-up production on schedule.
The Company currently supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to BMW, Chrysler
Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation under
long-term contracts. The General Motors contract is in effect through
the 1998 model year, and the contracts with BMW are in effect for the
four-year period ending March 31, 1999. The term of the Ford contract
is through December 1999, and the Chrysler contract runs through the
1999 Model Year.
During February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share." This standard is effective for periods ending after December
15, 1997. The Company will adopt FAS No. 128 in its fourth quarter for
the year ending December 31, 1997. The Company does not expect the
impact of FAS No. 128 to materially affect the financial statements.
