GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

FIRST QUARTER 2002 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2001

Net Sales. Net sales for the first quarter of 2002 increased by
approximately $9,652,000, or 12%, when compared with the first
quarter last year. Net sales of the Company's automotive mirrors
increased by $9,774,000, or 13%, as automatic mirror unit shipments
increased by 11% from approximately 1,850,000 in the first quarter of
2001 to 2,056,000 in the current quarter. This increase primarily
reflected the increased penetration of interior electrochromic Night
Vision Safety(TM) (NVS(R)) Mirrors on 2002 model year mid-sized
vehicle models. Unit shipments to customers in North America
increased by 15.5%, primarily due to increased penetration, as North
American light vehicle production schedules increased by
approximately 3%. Mirror unit shipments to automotive customers
outside North America increased by 6% compared with the first quarter
in 2001, primarily due to increased interior mirror shipments to
European and Asian-Pacific automakers. Net sales of the Company's
fire protection products decreased 2%, primarily due to lower hotel /
motel construction after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold
remained unchanged at 60% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to
the first quarter of 2001. This unchanged percentage primarily
reflected annual customer price reductions offset by the higher sales
level leveraged over the fixed overhead costs.

Operating Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
approximately $685,000, but remained unchanged at 6% 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
$116,000, but remained unchanged at 6% of net sales, when compared
with the first quarter of 2001.

Other Income - Net. Other income decreased by approximately $144,000
when compared with the first quarter of 2001, primarily due to
declining interest rates on investments, partially offset by realized
gains from sales of equity investments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Management considers the Company's working capital and long-term
investments totaling approximately $385,340,000 at March 31, 2002,
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.

TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS:

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. There were no significant
changes in the market risks reported in the Company's 2001 10-K
report during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

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.

In addition to price reductions over the life of its long-term
agreements, 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 from
time to time some pressure for select raw material cost increases.

-6-
TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS, CONTINUED:

The Company currently supplies NVS(R) Mirrors to DaimlerChrysler AG
and General Motors Corporation under long-term agreements. The
long-term supply agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG runs through the
2003 Model Year, while the GM contract is through the 2004 Model Year
for inside mirrors.


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.
