NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. The results of operations for the three and nine-month period ending September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. 3. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States. 4. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. 5. The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. There was no effect on retained earnings related to this adoption. Consistent with FIN 48, the Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company's federal income tax returns for the 2005 and 2006 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The 2004 federal income tax return was examined by the IRS and no adjustments were made as a result of the examination. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company's federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company's 2005 and 2006 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company's state income tax returns for the 2004 through 2006 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2010. The Company is currently not under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended. 6. The Company recorded various charges during 2006 and 2007 related to the closure of its Jefferson, Iowa facility. The facility had been operating below capacity and after the transfer of production activities to Tyrone, Pennsylvania, operations ceased in December 2006. As a result of the closure, the Company recorded plant closing expenses of $422,934 in the year ended December 31, 2006, and $20,337 in the period ended September 30, 2007. The following is a summary of liabilities recorded on the accompanying balance sheets as accrued plant closing expenses: Severance Facility and Benefits Closure Costs Total ------------ ------------- --------- Balance at December 31, 2006 $ 177,074 $ 40,369 $ 217,443 Charge -- 21,157 21,157 Payments (174,414) (61,526) (235,940) Non-cash reduction (820) -- (820) --------- -------- --------- Balance at September 30, 2007 $ 1,840 $ -- $ 1,840 --------- -------- --------- 7 CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Net revenues in the third quarter of 2007 were $9,043,603, a decline of one percent compared to 2006 when revenues were $9,132,463. While the fastener segment recorded an increase in revenues of $71,348 during the period, the decline in assembly equipment sales more than offset this improvement. Net income improved in the third quarter of 2007 to $.39 per share from $.24 per share in the year earlier period, despite lower revenues, primarily due to lower operating expenses. Net revenues for the first nine months of 2007 were $29,121,499, compared to $31,130,780 in 2006. Net income after three quarters this year was $1,205,772, or $1.25 per share, compared with $1,095,989, or $1.13 per share, in 2006. The improvement in net income was primarily due to higher plant closing expenses in the prior year and lower operating expenses in the current year. Within the fastener segment, third quarter revenues increased to $7,905,111 in 2007 from $7,833,763 in the third quarter of 2006, or 1%. This increase was the result of improved sales to our non-automotive customers, as the domestic automotive market continues to see lower production levels compared to the year earlier period. The reduction of certain segment expenses in the current year quarter further improved our operating results. Tooling expenses declined $185,000 due to higher than normal tooling associated with new parts incurred in the third quarter of 2006. Segment depreciation in the third quarter was $130,000 lower than last year, as certain equipment became fully depreciated in 2006. Additionally, the transfer of production activities from Jefferson, Iowa to Tyrone, Pennsylvania that was begun in the third quarter of 2006 resulted in expense reductions due to the elimination of certain costs in the current year. The combination of higher revenues and the overall reduction in operating expenses resulted in an improvement in segment gross margin to approximately $1,559,000 from $1,227,000 in the year earlier quarter. For the first nine months of the year, fastener segment revenues were $25,491,263, a decline of $1,052,587, or 4%, from the $26,543,850 reported for 2006. Year to date sales have been more negatively impacted by reduced demand from automotive customers than third quarter results. However, the impact of lower net sales was offset by reductions in certain operating expenses. The drop in tooling expense during the third quarter has resulted in a year to date reduction of $154,000 compared to 2006. Fastener segment depreciation has declined $379,000 year to date. Due to a change in product mix, as well as investments in equipment that have expanded our capabilities during the last year, certain machining and parts sorting procedures that were formerly outsourced are now being performed internally, contributing to a $468,000 reduction in outside production costs compared to last year. Additionally, expediting and rejection expenses have declined $81,000. Lastly, the closing of our Jefferson plant has resulted in additional reductions as certain costs were eliminated. The net decline in operating expenses for the first nine months of 2007 effectively offset the revenue decline, leaving gross margins relatively unchanged at $4,818,000 through three quarters. Assembly equipment segment revenues totaled $1,138,492 in the third quarter of 2007, a decline of $160,208, or 12%, compared to the third quarter of 2006, when revenues were $1,298,700. Demand for our products in this segment continues to be weak and the lower level of production activity, brought on by reduced demand, resulted in a $210,000 decline in gross margin compared to the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, revenues in this segment amounted to $3,630,236, a $956,694 decline, or 21%, compared to the first nine months of 2006 when net revenues totaled $4,586,930. In response to the lower level of sales activity in 2007, we have implemented steps to reduce and control expenses wherever possible, including reductions in both staffing levels and work schedules. The cumulative effect of these actions has not been sufficient to fully offset the effects of reduced volume and, as a result, gross margins declined to $1,234,000 from $1,795,000 last year. Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were $49,111 lower than during the third quarter of 2006. Salaries and related benefits account for approximately $38,000 of the net decline due to reduced headcount. The remaining net decrease in the quarter relates to various items with smaller changes. On a year to date basis, selling and administrative expenses have declined $267,083 compared with the first nine months of 2006. The largest components of the year to date decline are salaries and wages of $99,000, profit sharing expense, which declined $57,000 as a result of lower profits in the current year after taking the plant closing expenses into consideration, and legal fees which have declined $45,000, primarily due to services in 2006 related to the Jefferson plant closing. The balance of the net reduction is made up of a variety of smaller expense items. Third quarter results include a net reduction in plant closing expenses of $459, as certain health insurance obligations were lower than originally estimated. This compares with a charge of $8,204 in the third quarter of 2006. Total 2007 charges for the previously disclosed Jefferson, Iowa plant closing amounted to $20,337. The first nine months of 2006 included charges totaling $408,605. No further expenses related to the closing are expected. 10 Working capital at September 30, 2007 was approximately $16.3 million, an improvement of $1.1 million from the beginning of the year. Holdings in cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at the end of the third quarter totaled $6.5 million and account for $.8 million of the improvement in net working capital, as capital outlays in the current year have declined a like amount compared with 2006. Accounts receivable balances have increased by $.2 million this year, due to seasonal sales patterns where sales at the end of the third quarter are typically greater than near the end of the year. Lastly, the decline in accrued plant closing expenses of $.2 million was only partially offset by the increase in other accrued expense items. The Company has a $1.0 million line of credit, which expires May 31, 2008. This line of credit remains unused. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents, operating cash flow and the available line of credit will provide adequate working capital for the foreseeable future. The increase in third quarter fastener segment sales, due to growth in our non-automotive customer sales, was not enough to offset the sales decline for that segment recorded in the first half of the year, as reductions in domestic automotive production continue to constrain our sales growth. At the same time, the assembly equipment segment continues to be weak as a result of the overall decline in domestic manufacturing activity. Although the consolidation of our Jefferson plant activities has resulted in cost savings related to better utilization of plant capacity, these improvements are somewhat obscured by the overall sales decline in 2007. While the markets in which we operate continue to provide significant challenges, we will continue to make adjustments to our activities while maintaining an emphasis on providing quality products along with the technical expertise and customer service necessary to differentiate our Company in the marketplace. This discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements" which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales to two major customers, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving expected cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 11 CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.
