INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 3, 2004, Modine Manufacturing Company (the Company or Modine), through its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Korea, LLC, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the South Korean assets of WiniaMando Inc.s Automotive Climate Control Division (ACC)(the Korean ACC Acquisition). The effective date of the closing of the Korean ACC Acquisition was July 31, 2004. The total cash purchase price for the Korean ACC Acquisition was approximately $75.2 million. Modine and WiniaMando expect to announce the closing of Modines acquisition of the Chinese assets of WiniaMandos ACC Division in the near future, following the receipt of certain government approvals. The Chinese ACC assets include a wholly owned subsidiary in Shanghai and a 50%-owned joint venture in Hefei. The purchase price for those Chinese assets is approximately $6.3 million.

With respect to the Korean ACC Acquisition, the principle followed in determining the amount of consideration paid by Modine Korea, LLC to WiniaMando began with an agreed total (Korea plus China) purchase price of approximately $88 million (cash plus assumed long term and other liabilities), from which the as-yet unclosed China portion was subtracted. In addition, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement between WiniaMando and Modine, the parties then subtracted various long term and other liabilities assumed by Modine, which total approximately $6 million.

The ACC Division of WiniaMando, headquartered in South Korea, designs and manufactures heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for minivans, SUVs, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and trains as well as other heat transfer components. Modine intends to continue to use the assets acquired for such purposes.

The Korean ACC Acquisition was financed principally through (a) cash on hand and (b) a draw upon Modines credit facility with Bank One, NA (syndicate agent). Modine Manufacturing Company in turn funded Modine Korea, LLC with a combination of debt and equity.
