Other net sales were $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of
6%, compared to $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. This decrease is in
large part attributable to a 65% quarter over quarter decline in variable
dimmable aircraft windows sales, which decreased to $1.1 million in the second
quarter of 2021 from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. Fire protection
sales increased by 31% in the second quarter of 2021 to $6.3 million, compared
to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased
to 64.6% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 80.9% in the second quarter of
2020. Compared to the COVID-19 impacted second quarter of 2020, gross margins
improved due to the higher sales levels, significantly better overhead leverage,
the structural cost savings put in place during 2020, and positive product mix
on a quarter over quarter basis. On a quarter over quarter basis, the fixed
overhead leverage had a positive impact of approximately 1,000 basis points (10
percentage points) on the gross margin, and the savings as a result of
structural cost reductions that took place in the second quarter of 2020 had a
positive impact of approximately 200 - 300 basis points on gross margin. The
above-referenced positive product mix had a positive impact of approximately 100
- 150 basis points on gross margin on a quarter over quarter basis. These
positive impacts were partially offset by annual customer price reductions,
which had a negative impact of approximately 150 basis points on gross margin on
a quarter over quarter basis.

Operating Expenses. Engineering, research and development ("E, R & D") expenses
for the second quarter of 2021 increased by $0.1 million when compared with the
second quarter of 2020.
.
Selling, general and administrative ("S, G & A") expenses increased by 4% or
$0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of
2020. S, G & A expenses were 5% of net sales in the second quarter of 2021,
compared to 9% of net sales in the second quarter of 2020. S, G, & A expenses
increased on a quarter over quarter basis primarily due to increases in wages
and selling expenses.

                                                                              23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Total operating expenses were $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, which
increased by 2% or $1.0 million, from $50.7 million in the second quarter of
2020.

Total Other Income. Total other income for the second quarter of 2021 decreased
by $1.0 million when compared with the second quarter of 2020.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate was 15.0% for, and an income
tax expense of $15.3 million was recorded in, the second quarter of 2021
compared to an income tax benefit of $1.5 million for the same quarter of 2020.
Typically, effective tax rates for the Company differ from statutory federal
income tax rates, due to provisions for state and local income taxes, permanent
tax differences, research and development tax credits and the foreign-derived
intangible income tax deduction.
Net Income. Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $86.5 million,
compared to a net loss of $2.4 million the second quarter of 2020. The increase
in net income was driven by the quarter over quarter increase in sales, gross
margins, and operating profits.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. The Company had earnings per diluted share for the
second quarter of 2021 of $0.36, compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.01
for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in earnings per diluted share was
the result of higher net income compared to the second quarter of 2020.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
Net Sales. Net Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by
$228.0 million or 33% when compared with the same period in 2020.
Automotive net sales for the first six months of 2021 were $896.2 million, up
35% compared with automotive net sales of $661.9 million for the first six
months of 2020, driven by a 42% period over period increase in automotive mirror
unit shipments. North American automotive mirror shipments in the six months
ended June 30, 2021 increased 54% to 6.9 million units compared with the same
period in 2020.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased
to 63.3% for the first six months of 2021, versus 70.7% in the same period last
year. The period over period increase in the gross profit margin was primarily
the result of the Company's better leverage of fixed overhead, positive
structural cost savings put in place during the second quarter of 2020, and
purchasing cost reductions. These improvements in gross margin were partially
offset by annual customer price reductions. On a period over period basis,
better fixed overhead leverage had a positive impact of approximately 400 - 450
basis points on gross margin, and the savings as a result of structural cost
reductions that took place in the second quarter of 2020 had a positive impact
of approximately 200 - 250 basis points on gross margin. Purchasing cost
reductions had a positive impact of approximately 50 - 100 basis points on gross
margin, each on a period over period basis. These positive impacts were
partially offset by annual customer price reductions, which had a negative
impact of approximately 150 - 200 basis points on gross margin on a period over
period basis.
Operating Expenses. E, R & D for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 3%
or $1.9 million when compared with the same period last year. The decrease in E,
R & D was primarily due reductions in wages and discretionary spending stemming
from the structural cost reductions put in place in the second quarter of 2020.
S, G & A for the first six months of 2021 increased 2.0% or $0.9 million when
compared with the same period last year. In the first six months of 2021, the
Company recognized S, G & A savings from the structural cost savings put in
place in the second quarter of 2020, but those savings were mostly offset by
increases in professional fees and outbound freight costs. A lack of
international travel and the cancellation of all industry-based trade shows due
to the COVID-19 pandemic also impacted operating expenses.
Total Other Income. Total other income for the six months ended June 30, 2021
was $3.4 million compared with $5.1 million for the same period last year.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate was 15.7% for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 compared to 15.7% for the same period of 2020.

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by
$112.8 million or 129% to $200.0 million versus $87.1 million in the same period
last year. The increase in net income was driven by the period over period
increase in sales, improved product mix, higher gross margins and the continued
operating leverage as a result of the structural cost savings that were put in
place during the second quarter of 2020.
Earnings Per Share. The Company had earnings per diluted share for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 of $0.82 which compared to earnings per diluted share
of $0.35 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in earnings per
share is the result of the higher net income and a lower diluted share count
when compared to the second quarter of 2020.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 were $353.0 million,
which decreased $70.3 million compared to $423.4 million as of December 31,
2020. The decrease was primarily due to share repurchases, dividend payments and
capital expenditures, which were partially offset by cash flows from operations,
during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 were $13.8 million, down from $27.2
million as of December 31, 2020, and long-term investments were $193.4 million
as of June 30, 2021, compared to $162.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Changes
in the investment balances were primarily driven by maturities of investments
and additional investment purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 decreased approximately $50.8 million
compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to the timing of sales during the
most recently completed six months. As of June 30, 2021, all of the Company's
material tier one and OEM customers continue to be in good standing.
Inventories as of June 30, 2021 were $263.9 million, compared to $226.3 million

BUSINESS UPDATE



For the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported net sales of $428.0
million, which was an increase of 86% compared to net sales of $229.9 million in
the second quarter of 2020. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, global light
vehicle production in the Company's primary regions of Europe, North America,
Japan/Korea and China increased 36% when compared to the COVID-19 impacted
second quarter of 2020. However, when compared to the mid-April 2021 IHS Markit
light vehicle production forecast in the Company's primary regions, actual light
vehicle production in the second quarter of 2021 declined approximately 1.1
million units, or 7% as a result of industry-wide part shortages and global
supply chain constraints. The largest deviation from the forecasted production
within the quarter came in North America, which saw an actual light vehicle
production decline in excess of 15% compared to the mid-April 2021 forecast. The
reduction in light vehicle production compared to forecast was led by certain
OEM customers that deploy high levels of the Company's product content,
including both interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors and other electronic
features such as Full Display Mirror® and HomeLink®. In total, the impact from
the shortfall in vehicle production compared to forecast, led to an estimated
mirror unit shipment reduction of approximately 2 million units versus the
Company's beginning of the quarter expectations.

The Company's initial forecast for the second quarter was for sales to be one of
the largest quarters in the Company's history, but the continual changes in
releases and orders resulted in the push out of approximately 2 million units.
The unit shipment changes were most severe in North America where the Company's
dollar content per vehicle is above the corporate average. When looking forward
into the second half of the year and into 2022, the Company believes that the
overall demand for vehicles and its products should still provide opportunities
for the Company to continue to outperform the underlying market.

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company had 29 total launches of interior and
exterior auto-dimming mirrors and electronic features. Of these new launches,
45% contained advanced features with Full Display Mirror® being the primary
driver.


PRODUCT UPDATE

Camera Systems

The Full Display Mirror® began production in the fourth quarter of 2015. Current
automotive design trends are yielding vehicles with small rear windows that are
often further obstructed by headrests, passengers, and roof support pillars
which can significantly hinder the mirror's rearward view. The Company's Full
Display Mirror® is an intelligent rear vision system that uses a custom,
internally or externally mounted video camera and mirror-integrated video
display to optimize a vehicle driver'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 an 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.
With the flip of a switch, the mirror enters display mode, and a clear, bright
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 mirror, which meets long-standing safety
requirements 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.

As of the second quarter of 2021, the Company is shipping production Full
Display Mirrors® to nine different automaker customers, which are General
Motors, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Aston Martin,
Stellantis, and Maserati. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, the
Company is shipping Full Display Mirror® on 56 nameplates, and is forecasting at
least 10 new vehicle nameplate launches for the second half of 2021. The second
quarter 2020 launch of the Full Display Mirror® for the Toyota Harrier was the
first Full Display Mirror® to launch with Digital Video Recording ("DVR")
capability. This mirror and system launched in the Japan market, and combine the
superior functionality of the Full Display Mirror® with the added capability to
record video from the rearward facing and forward-facing cameras simultaneously.
Per OEM request, the data is stored to an SD storage card. This integrated
solution provides consumers with the features they want, while allowing the OEM
to control the integration and execution in the vehicle. The Company remains
confident that on-going discussions with certain other customers, in the future,
may cause such customers to consider adding the Full Display Mirror® into their

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

product road-map for future vehicles. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021 the Company has been awarded Full Display Mirror® programs with 14 OEMs.



To enhance capability and usability of the Company's Full Display Mirror®, the
Company previously introduced its three-camera rear vision system that streams
rear video in multiple composite views to its Full Display Mirror®. The Company
believes it is the industry's first practical and comprehensive rear vision
solution designed to meet automaker, driver, safety and regulatory requirements.
The Company's rear vision system, known generally as a camera monitoring system
("CMS"), uses three cameras to provide a comprehensive view of the sides and
rear of the vehicle. The side-view cameras are discretely housed in downsized,
automatic-dimming exterior mirrors. Their video feeds are combined with that of
a roof-mounted or rear window based camera and stitched together into multiple
composite views, which are streamed to the driver using the Full Display
Mirror®. The system's modular nature lets the automaker customize functionality
while offering it as an affordable, optional feature thereby enhancing safety by
allowing the system to fail safe. During any failures due to weather conditions
or otherwise that disrupt the digital view, drivers can still safely use the
interior and exterior mirrors. The system also supports user preference by
permitting drivers to use standard mirror views, camera views, or both. The
system can also be tuned to meet the various regulatory field-of-view
requirements around the world by using different types of flat and curved glass,
combined with simple alterations to the video viewing modes. Downsized exterior
mirrors provide automakers with significant weight savings and fuel efficiency
improvements. To further enhance safety, the Company's CMS solution can also
work in conjunction with a vehicle's side blind zone warning system. When a
trailing vehicle enters a side blind zone, a warning indicator illuminates in
both the interior and exterior mirrors while the corresponding side-view video
feed appears in the display until the vehicle passes.

On March 31, 2014, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers petitioned the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") to allow automakers to
use cameras as an option to replace conventional rearview mirrors within the
United States. At the annual SAE Government-Industry Meeting in January 2017,
NHTSA requested that SAE develop Recommended Procedures for test protocols and
performance criteria for CMS that would replace mirror systems on light vehicles
in the U.S. market. SAE assigned the task to the Driver Vision Committee, and
the SAE Driver Vision Committee created a CMS Task Force to draft the
Recommended Procedures. NHTSA published a report dated October 2018 related to
camera monitoring systems for outside mirror replacements. On October 10, 2019,
an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) was published seeking public
comment on permitting camera-based rear visibility systems, as an alternative to
inside and outside rearview mirrors required under Federal motor vehicle safety
standard (FMVSS) No. 111, "Rear Visibility," which currently requires that
vehicles be equipped with rearview mirrors to provide drivers with a view of
objects that are to their side or to their side and rear. This ANPRM builds on
NHTSA's prior efforts to obtain supporting technical information, data, and
analysis on CMS so that the agency can determine whether these systems can
provide the same level of safety as the rearview mirrors currently required
under FMVSS No. 111. The ANPRM states that one reason NHTSA is seeking
additional information is because research conducted by NHTSA and others between
2006 and 2017 has consistently shown that prototype and preproduction
camera-based rear visibility systems can exhibit safety-relevant performance
issues.
On October 18, 2019, a petition for temporary exemption from FMVSS 111 submitted
by Audi of America was published requesting NHTSA to grant a two-year exemption
to sell up to 2,500 vehicles for each twelve month period (up to 5,000 vehicles)
that are equipped with camera monitoring systems and do not include FMVSS 111
compliant outside mirrors.
In July 2016, a revision to UN-ECE Regulation 46 was published with an effective
date of June 18, 2016, which allows for CMS to replace mirrors in Japan and
European countries. Since January 2017, camera monitoring systems are also
permitted as an alternative to replace mirrors in the Korean market.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company continues to believe rearview mirrors
provide a robust, simple and cost effective means to view the surrounding areas
of a vehicle and remain the primary safety function for rear vision today.
Cameras when used as the primary rear vision delivery mechanism have some
inherent limitations such as: electrical failure; cameras being blocked or
obstructed; depth perception challenges; and viewing angles of the camera.
Nonetheless, the Company continues designing and manufacturing not only rearview
mirrors, but CMOS imagers and video displays as well. The Company believes that
combining video displays with mirrors may well provide a more robust product by
addressing all driving conditions in a single solution that can be controlled by
the driver. As noted, the Company is

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



currently in production with a rear vision camera system that streams rear video
to a rearview-mirror-integrated display using the Company's Full Display
Mirror®. The Company's CMS solution uses three cameras to provide a
comprehensive view of the sides and rear of the vehicle. The Company also
continues development in the areas of imager performance, camera dynamic range,
lens design, image processing from the camera to the display, and camera lens
cleaning. The Company acknowledges that as such technology evolves over time,
such as cameras replacing mirrors and/or autonomous driving, there could be
increased competition.
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 and road type as well as certain lane tracking features to assist with
lighting control. The Company has the ability to package 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. In addition, the Company has long been integrating its 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.

The European New Car Assessment Program ("Euro NCAP") provides an incentive for
automobiles sold in Europe to apply safety technologies that include driver
assist features such as lane detection, vehicle detection, and pedestrian
detection as standard equipment. Euro NCAP compliant driver assist systems are
also capable of including high beam assist as a function. The increased
application of Euro NCAP on European vehicles has had the effect of replacing,
and could potentially continue replacing, the Company's SmartBeam® application
on these vehicles.

On December 8, 2015 NHTSA proposed changes to the NHTSA's 5-Star Safety Ratings
for new vehicles (also known as the New Car Assessment Program or NCAP) and
initiated a comment period. The proposed changes will, for the first time,
encompass assessment of crash-avoidance technologies, which includes lower beam
headlamp performance, semi-automatic headlamp switching, and blind spot
detection. NHTSA initially intended to implement the enhancements in NCAP in
2018 beginning with model year 2019 vehicles.  The NCAP implementation has been
delayed. Under these proposed changes, the Company believes that its SmartBeam®
technology will qualify with the semi-automatic headlamp NCAP rating system, and
that its SmartBeam® technology and exterior mirrors with blind spot alert
lighting can be included in a system that qualifies with the lower beam headlamp
performance and blind spot detection NCAP rating system, respectively. On
October 16, 2019, NHTSA issued a press release comparing NCAP to other regions'
version of NCAP, identified new technologies that are not currently included in
NCAP, and suggested Congress legislatively direct actions to improve NCAP. In
March 2020, HR 6256 was introduced, which would require NHTSA to update NCAP.
There are multiple bills being discussed in both the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate that relate to NCAP.

On October 12, 2018, NHTSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM")
for amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard ("FMVSS") No. 108:
Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment, and initiated a comment
period. The NPRM proposes amendments that would permit the certification of
adaptive driving beam headlighting systems, if the manufacturer chooses to equip
vehicles with these systems. NHTSA proposes to establish appropriate performance
requirements to ensure the safe introduction of adaptive driving beam
headlighting systems if equipped on newly manufactured vehicles. The Company
believes that its dynamic SmartBeam® lighting control system (dynamic forward
lighting or DFL), which has been sold in markets outside of North America for
several years, will meet the requirements of the new FMVSS 108 standards, if
amended. The Company's SmartBeam® application has and will continue to be
affected by increased competition by suppliers of multi-function driver assist
camera products, which are able to achieve some of the same functionality as
SmartBeam® but at a lower cost, due to other suppliers leveraging similar
hardware costs, but offering products with multiple software features.
Connected Car
The Company's HomeLink® products are the auto industry's most widely used and
trusted car-to-home communication system, with an estimated 50 million units on
the road. The system consists of two or three

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



in-vehicle buttons that can be programmed to operate garage doors, security
gates, home lighting, and other radio-frequency-controlled devices. During the
first quarter of 2017, the Company demonstrated the next generation of
HomeLink®, commonly referred to as HomeLink Connect® which uses both RF and
wireless cloud-based connectivity to deliver complete vehicle-to-home
automation. With HomeLink Connect®, a HomeLink® button press communicates with
the HomeLink Connect® app on the user's smartphone. The app contains predefined,
user-programmed actions, from single device operations to entire home automation
scenes. The app, in turn, communicates to the home's smart hub over the cloud
activates the appropriate devices, including security systems, door locks,
thermostats, lighting, and other home automation devices, providing
comprehensive vehicle-to-home automation. The ability to prepare the home for
arrival or departure can occur with one button press. For the automaker, it
allows them to offer a customizable, yet proven solution without the engineering
effort or security concerns associated with integrating third party software
into the vehicle's computer network. The Company also continues to work on
providing HomeLink® applications for alternative automobile 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. In May 2021, the Company announced the Volkswagen as the first automaker
to offer Bluetooth® enabled mirror for home automation that works in conjunction
with HomeLink Connect®. The Company further continues to work with compatibility
partners for HomeLink® applications in newer markets like China. The unique
attributes of the China market allow for potential different use cases of these
products and offer the potential for additional growth opportunities for the
HomeLink® brand and products. In 2017, the Company began its first volume
production shipments of HomeLink® units on vehicles for the China market.

In January 2016, the Company announced a partnership with TransCore to provide
automobile manufacturers with a vehicle-integrated tolling solution that enables
motorists to drive on nearly all U.S. toll roads without a traditional toll tag
on the windshield. Currently more than 75 percent of new car registrations are
in states with toll roads with over 50 million drivers accessing these roads
each year. The Company signed an exclusive agreement, in the ordinary course of
business, to integrate TransCore's toll module technology. In January 2017, the
Company signed an extension of its agreement, in the ordinary course of
business, which enables the Company to offer the Integrated Toll Module system
in Canada and Mexico. In September 2019, the Company signed a new agreement with
TransCore, in the ordinary course of business, which extended the term of the
partnership. The interior mirror is the optimal location for a
vehicle-integrated toll transponder and it eliminates the need to affix multiple
toll tags to the windshield and helps automakers seamlessly integrate toll
collection into the car. Since the Integrated Toll Module® or ITM® enables
travel across almost all United States toll roads, and others in North America,
motorists would no longer need multiple toll tags for different regions of the
country or to manage multiple toll accounts. The Company's vehicle-integrated
solution simplifies and expedites local, regional, and national travel. ITM®
provides transportation agencies with an interoperability solution without
costly infrastructure changes to the thousands of miles of toll lanes throughout
North America. The Company believes that this product could potentially
represent another growth opportunity over the next several years.

The Company has its first OEM award of ITM® with Audi. Currently, the Company is
shipping ITM® on 9 platforms, which are: the A4, A5, A6, A7, Q5, Q7, Q8, e-tron,
and the e-tron Sportback. The Company expects further ITM® nameplate launches
with Audi throughout 2022 and 2023, as well as the initial launch of ITM® at its
second OEM. The launch is targeted to begin production shipments in the second
half of calendar year 2021. In April 2020, the Company was honored with an
Automotive News PACE Award for its ITM® product, which recognizes automotive
suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement, and business
performance.

Further, the Company has previously announced an embedded biometric solution for
vehicles that leverages iris scanning technology to create a secure environment
in the vehicle. There are many use cases for authentication, which range from
vehicle security to start functionality to personalization of mirrors, music,
seat location and temperature, to the ability to control transactions not only
for the ITM® system, but also the ride sharing car of the future. The Company
believes iris recognition is among the most secure forms of biometric
identification, with a false acceptance rate as low as one in 10 million, far
superior to facial, voice, and other biometric systems. The Company's future
plans include integrating biometric authentication with HomeLink® and HomeLink
Connect®. The biometric system will allow HomeLink® to provide added security
and convenience for multiple drivers by activating the unique home automation
presets of different authorized users. The Company announced in January 2018
that it completed an exclusive licensing agreement, in the ordinary course of
business, with Fingerprint Cards AB to deploy its ActiveIRIS® iris-scanning
biometric technology in automotive applications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




In January 2018, the Company also announced that an agreement had been signed
with Yonomi Inc., in the ordinary course of business, to access home automation
technology. The Company is working with Yonomi as a home automation aggregation
partner and the Company has developed an app and cloud infrastructure known as
HomeLink Connect®. As discussed above, HomeLink Connect® is the home automation
app that pairs with the vehicle and allows drivers to operate home automation
devices from the vehicle. Drivers of HomeLink Connect® compatible vehicles will
be able to download and configure the app to control many available home
automation devices and create entire home automation settings.

In November 2020, the Company announced a partnership, in the ordinary course of
business, with PayByCar™, to pursue compatibility between the Company's
Integrated Toll Module and PayByCar's innovative payment solution that allows
drivers to use their smartphones and toll transponder to fuel up at certain gas
stations without using cash or a credit card. Compatibility between these two
technologies can help to grow each company's respective consumer base while
introducing new users to the benefits of the transactional vehicle.

In January 2021, the Company announced a partnership, in the ordinary course of
business, with Simplenight to provide drivers and vehicle occupants with access
to enhanced mobile capability for booking personalized entertainment and
lifestyle experiences in addition to everyday purchases. Simplenight delivers a
customizable and robust platform that enables brands to globally offer real-time
book-ability across multiple categories such as dining, accommodations,
attractions, events, gas, parking, shopping and more. The platform is unique in
that it is designed to seamlessly integrate into automaker infotainment and
navigation systems, as well as mobile applications and voice assistants.
Simplenight can be integrated into the Company's current and future connected
vehicle technologies, including HomeLink®, the automotive industry's leading
car-to-home automation system. HomeLink® consists of vehicle-integrated buttons
that can be programmed to operate a myriad of home automation devices.
Integration of Simplenight into the Company's HomeLink Connect® app is underway
and will allow users to program their HomeLink® buttons and control cloud-based
devices from their vehicles.

Dimmable Devices

The Company previously announced that it is providing variably dimmable windows
for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner series of aircraft. The Company continues to work
with other aircraft manufacturers that have an interest in this technology
regarding potential additional programs. In January 2019, the Company announced
that its latest generation of dimmable aircraft windows will be offered as
optional content on the new Boeing 777X. During the third quarter of 2019, the
first production shipments of variably dimmable windows were made to Boeing for
the 777X program. In January 2020, the Company announced that Airbus will also
be offering the Company's dimmable aircraft windows on an aircraft with
production starting in 2021.

Medical



In January 2020 the Company unveiled an innovative lighting technology for
medical applications that was co-developed with Mayo Clinic. This new lighting
concept represents the collaboration of a global, high-technology electronics
company with a world leader in health care. The Company's new intelligent
lighting system combines ambient room lighting with camera-controlled, adaptive
task lighting to optimize illumination for surgical and patient-care
environments. The system was developed over an 18 month period of collaboration
between Company engineers and Mayo Clinic surgeons, scientists, and operating
room staff. The teams researched, designed, and rapidly iterated multiple
prototypes in order to develop unique features intended to address major gaps in
current surgical lighting solutions. In 2021, the Company continues to further
develop and work on the intelligent medical lighting system in order to assess
system performance and work toward obtaining any necessary approvals.

OTHER



Automotive revenues represent approximately 98% - 99% of the Company's total
revenue, consisting of interior and exterior electrochromic automatic-dimming
rearview mirrors and automotive electronics.

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company continues to experience pricing pressure from its automotive
customers and competitors, which will continue to cause downward pressure on its
sales and 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, but there is no assurance the
Company will be able to do so in the future.

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 has been likewise affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and
industry-wide parts shortages and global supply constraints.

The Company believes that its patents and trade secrets provide it with a
competitive advantage in dimmable devices, electronics and other features that
it offers for the automotive, aerospace and medical industry. 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 and 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.

OUTLOOK



The Company's most recent forecasts for light vehicle production for the second
half of 2021, and full years 2021 and 2022 are based on the mid-July 2021 IHS
Markit light vehicle production forecast for light vehicle production in North
America, Europe, Japan/Korea and China. Second half of 2021, and calendar years
2021 and 2022 forecasted light vehicle production volumes are shown below:

Based on the aforementioned light vehicle production forecast,and the results
for the first six months of 2021, the Company has provided guidance for the
second half of 2021 as shown below. This guidance includes manual adjustments to
the Company's forecasts as a result of customer order changes due to part
shortages that have impacted the second quarter and will likely continue to
impact demand in the second half of this year and perhaps even into 2022. The
Company has also updated the cost and profitability model to include impacts due
to elevated raw material prices, freight expenses and labor costs. In addition,
over the last several quarters, the Company has been closely monitoring the
tariff discussions between the US and the EU with respect to EU Regulation
2018/0886, which was scheduled to go into effect on June 1, 2021. The EU,
however, suspended the implementation until November 30, 2021 as part of
on-going discussions. The Company remains hopeful that a trade agreement can be
reached before this date so that the increased tariffs do not take effect. The
guidance for the second half of 2021 is a follows, which does NOT take into
account the aforementioned potential increased tariff costs:

•Revenue is expected to be between $970 million and $1.07 billion
•Gross Margin is expected to be between 37.5% and 38.5%
•Operating Expenses are expected to be approximately $105 to $110 million
•Estimated Annual Tax Rate, which assumes no changes to the statutory rate, is
expected to be between 16% and 18%
•Capital Expenditures are expected to be between $50 and $60 million
•Depreciation and Amortization is expected to be between $54 and $59 million

Ongoing uncertainties remain around the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
customer demand and restrictions on operations. COVID-19 has created
unprecedented circumstances for the Company's industries, which included massive
changes to production levels at its customers that occurred in a very short time
period. Beyond the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, other ongoing uncertainties
remain including: light vehicle production levels; industry-wide parts shortages
and global supply chain constraints; impacts of already in place and potential
additional future tariffs; impacts of regulation changes; automotive plant
shutdowns; vehicle sales rates in Europe, Asia and North America; 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; etc., all of which could disrupt shipments to
these customers and make forecasting difficult.

In accordance with the previously announced share repurchase plan, the Company
continue to will consider the appropriateness of any share repurchases for the
remainder of 2021. This determination will take into account macroeconomic
issues (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and industry-wide parts
shortages and global supply chain constraints), market trends, and other factors
that the Company deems appropriate (including the market price of the stock,
anti-dilutive effect of repurchases, tax rates, and available cash). At a recent
meeting, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



additional 25,000,000 shares under the plan. As of June 30, 2021, the Company
has 28.3 million shares remaining available for repurchase under the previously
announced share repurchase plan.
Additionally, based on the mid-July 2021 light vehicle production estimates for
2022, the Company is providing revenue guidance for 2022, despite the fact that
there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding macroeconomic
conditions, underlying overall consumer demand for light vehicles worldwide, and
the continued impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company estimates that
revenue for calendar year 2022 will be approximately 10% - 15% higher than
estimated revenue in calendar year 2021.

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, 2020.
