               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and
for the year ended December 31, 2001, include Noble International, Ltd. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Noble Component Technologies ("NCT"); Monroe
Engineering Products, Inc. ("Monroe"), Skandy Corp. ("Skandy"), Noble Metal
Forming, Inc. ("NMF"), Noble Metal Processing, Inc. ("NMP"), Noble Land
Holdings, Inc. ("Land Holdings"), Noble Metal Processing-Midwest, Inc. (formerly
H&H Steel Processing, Inc.) ("NMPM"), Noble Manufacturing Group, Inc. ("NMG"),
(formerly Noble Technologies, Inc.), Noble Metal Processing Canada, Inc.
("NMPC"), Noble Metal Processing - Kentucky, LLC ("NMPK"), Noble Logistic
Services, Inc. ("NLS"), Noble Logistic Services, Inc. (formerly Assured
Transportation & Delivery, Inc. and Central Transportation & Delivery, Inc.,
collectively "NLS-CA"), Noble Logistic Services, Inc. (formerly Dedicated
Services, Inc.) ("NLS-TX"), Pro Motorcar Products, Inc. ("PMP"), Pro Motorcar
Distribution, Inc. ("PMD") and Noble Construction Equipment, Inc. ("NCE")
(formerly Construction Equipment Direct, Inc. ("CED")), (collectively, "Noble"
or the "Company") from the date of acquisition to the date of disposition, if
applicable.

Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a
full year. The December 31, 2001 consolidated balance sheet was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

In February 2002, the market price requirement of 107,452 shares of the
Company's putable common stock that was issued in connection with the
acquisition of Dedicated Services, Inc. in 2000 was met, resulting in the put
option expiring. Therefore, the common stock was reclassified from long-term
debt to stockholders' equity.

On April 1, 2002, the Company converted its $7.6 million note receivable,
including interest, from SET Enterprises, Inc. ("SET") into preferred stock of
SET. The preferred stock is non-voting and is redeemable at the Company's option
in 2007. The Company agreed to convert the subordinated promissory note to
preferred stock in order to assist SET in obtaining capital without appreciably
decreasing the Company's repayment rights or jeopardize SET's minority status.
Management believes that continued support of SET furthers the joint strategic
objectives of the two companies.

On April 22, 2002, the Company completed a sale and leaseback transaction of its
Shelbyville, Kentucky facility to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The
sale price was $6.2 million which was equal to the book value of the property.
The proceeds of the transaction were used to reduce the Company's debt under its
current credit facility. The lease has a term of five years and provides for
monthly rent of $70,000. The sale price and rent amount were determined by the
estimated fair value of the property and estimated prevailing lease rates for
similar properties. Although the Company did not obtain an independent valuation
of the property or the terms of the transaction, it





                                                                               7

believes the terms of the sale and leaseback were at least as favorable to Noble
as terms that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

On May 9, 2002 the Company's current credit facility was increased to $60.0
million from $52.5 million. The credit facility expires in November 2002. The
Company has a binding commitment from its lender on a new $60.0 million credit
facility that will take effect in December 2002 and will expire in 2005.
Therefore, the Company has reclassified its current credit facility from current
liabilities to long-term liabilities.

On June 20, 2002 the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-2 and
subsequently amended, concerning an offering of .95 million shares of its common
stock. On October 1, 2002 the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the
registration statement effective. On October 4, 2002 the Company completed the
sale of 925,000 shares of its common stock. The transaction provided net
proceeds to the Company of $9.1 million. The Company used the proceeds to reduce
its senior debt.

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each quarter. Calculation of diluted earnings per share
assumes the exercise of common stock options and warrants when dilutive, and the
impact of restricted stock and the assumed conversion of convertible debt, when
not anti-dilutive. The following tables reconcile the numerator and denominator
to calculate basic and diluted earnings on common shares before extraordinary
item for the three months and nine months ended September 30, for 2002 and 2001
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts; per share amounts are subject
to rounding).

NOTE C--INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company classifies its operations into three industry segments based on
types of products and services: automotive (NMPK, NMPC, NMP, NMPM, NMF, NMG, NCT
and Land Holdings), heavy equipment (NCE) and logistics (NLS-TX, NLS-CA, Monroe,
PMP and PMD). The automotive group provides a variety of laser welding, metal
blanking and die construction products and services utilizing proprietary laser
weld and light die technology. The heavy equipment group designs and
manufactures sub assemblies and final assemblies of heavy equipment used
primarily in the construction and earth-moving industry. The logistics group
provides same day package delivery services to a variety of customers and sells
tooling components, paint and coatings related products to end users as well as
distributors. The automotive group sells direct to automotive OEMs and Tier I
suppliers. The heavy equipment group sells direct to OEMs and through an
established network of dealers.

Transactions between the automotive, heavy equipment and logistics segments are
not significant and have been eliminated in the statements. Interest expense is
allocated to each segment based on the segment's actual borrowings from the
corporate headquarters, together with a partial allocation of corporate general
and administrative expenses. Revenues from external customers are identified
geographically based on the customer's shipping destination.

ended September 30, 2002 follow (in thousands):

NOTE D - RESTRUCTURING RESERVE

The restructuring reserve of $3.9 million recorded in December 2000, which had a
balance of $1.5 million at December 31, 2001, was reduced by $0.75 million
during the first quarter of 2002 for lease costs incurred on vacated property
and losses incurred in connection with the sale of certain real estate. During
the second quarter of 2002 the reserve was reduced by $0.2 million related to
repair of vacated facilities and $0.1 million related to final rent obligation
of vacated facilities. During the third quarter of 2002 the reserve was reduced
by $0.2 million primarily associated with the Company's relocation. The balance
in the restructuring reserve at September 30, 2002 was




                                                                              13


$0.25 million and represents the expected costs associated with real estate that
is being marketed for sale. Resolution on these items is expected by December
31, 2002.


NOTE E - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets
recognized in an entity's statement of financial position at that date,
regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The Company adopted
this statement on January 1, 2002, and goodwill will no longer be amortized. As
of September 30, 2002 the Company has goodwill of $40.8 million.

A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share
related to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization net
of the related income tax effect follows (per share amounts are subject to
rounding):

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 no goodwill or other
intangible assets were acquired, impaired or disposed.

Covenants not to compete are amortized over the life of the agreement, typically
three to ten years. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001 were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Annual pre-tax
amortization of covenants not to compete are estimated as follows:

NOTE F - EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

On September 30, 2002 the Company closed the allocation period regarding the
acquisition of Noble Construction Equipment ("NCE"). As a result, the Company
recognized a $0.3 million after-tax extraordinary gain on the transaction
resulting from certain post-closing working capital adjustments.



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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net Sales. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
reached $173.7 million, an increase of $78.4 million, or 82.3%, compared to the
same period of 2001. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2002, net sales
grew to $58.0 million, an increase of $22.8 million, or 64.8%, compared to the
third quarter of 2001. The increase in sales is attributable to increased
revenue from all operating segments. The automotive segment increased sales
66.4% for the quarter and 87.0% for the nine-month period. These increases were
primarily the result of increased value-added sales resulting from the
utilization of laser-welded components on more vehicle models and platforms. In
addition, the automotive segment's revenue was positively impacted by increased
steel sales. The logistics segment experienced increased sales of 4.2% for the
quarter and 8.0% for the nine-month period as this segment continues to execute
its strategy. Net sales were also positively impacted in 2002 by the inclusion
of net sales of the heavy equipment segment of $9.9 million and $34.1 million
for the three and nine month periods, respectively. The heavy equipment segment
was acquired in December 2001.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2002 increased by $71.0 million to $143.9 million, an increase of 97.4%
compared to the same period in 2001. For the third quarter ending September 30,
2002, cost of sales increased by $20.3 million, or 73.1%, compared to the third
quarter of 2001. These increases were primarily the result of increased net
sales across all segments, increased steel purchases and the inclusion of the
heavy equipment segment acquired in December 2001. Cost of sales as a percentage
of sales increased from 76.5% for the nine-month period September 30, 2001 to
82.8% for the same period in 2002. For the third quarter of 2001 and 2002, cost
of sales as a percentage of sales was 79.0% and 83.0% respectively. The increase
in the percentage of cost of sales to sales for the quarter and nine months
periods is due to the increased steel sales in the automotive segment as it
transitions to a full service supplier from a toll processor, as well as the
inclusion of the heavy equipment segment, which has higher cost of sales as a
percentage of sales than our other operating segments. The logistics segment
experienced an increase in costs of sales as a percentage of sales of 2.1%, from
76.3% to 78.4% for the third quarter of 2001 and 2002 respectively, and an
increase of 2.3%, from 75.6% to 77.9% for the nine-month period of 2001 and
2002.

         Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $7.4 million to $29.8 million for
the nine months ending September 30, 2002, or 33.1%, from $22.4 million for the
comparable period in 2001. For the third quarter, gross margin increased by $2.5
million to $9.9 million, or an increase of 33.4% compared to a gross margin of
$7.4 million for the same quarter in 2001. The increase was primarily the result
of the inclusion of the heavy equipment segment as well as higher sales in the
other operating segments. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from
23.5% in the 2001 nine-month period to 17.2% in the 2002 period. For the third
quarter of 2002, gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 21.0% in
2001 to 17.0% in 2002. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was
primarily the result of increased steel sales within the automotive segment and
the inclusion of the heavy equipment segment, as noted above.





                                                                              15


         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 19.6%, to $20.5 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $17.2 million
in the comparable period of 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, these expenses
grew by $0.7 million, or 11.0%, to $7.2 million compared to $6.5 million in the
same period in 2001. This increase was primarily the result of the inclusion of
the heavy equipment segment, acquired in December 2001 and the National Steel
reserve of $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the nine months and three months of
2002 respectively. The increase was partially offset by expense reductions in
the logistics segment. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 11.8% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 from 18.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. For the third
quarter the decrease went from 18.5% in 2001 to 12.5% in 2002.

         Operating Profit. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating
profit increased $4.1 million, or 77.8%, to $9.3 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 from $5.2 million for the same period in 2001.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2002, operating profit increased by
$1.7 million, or 198.2%, to $2.6 million from $0.9 million in the same quarter
of 2001. As a percentage of net sales, operating profit decreased slightly to
5.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 5.5% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased substantially from 2.5%
in 2001 to 4.5% in 2002.

         Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $0.7 million, or 48.7% to
$0.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 from $1.5
million for the same period in 2001. For the three-month period ended September
30, 2002, interest income increased by $0.1 million, or 48.5% to $0.3 million
from $0.2 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was the result of
lower notes receivable balances related to the sale of a business in 2001.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 33.4%, to $2.5 million,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $3.8 million for the
comparable period of 2001. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
the reduction was 14.1% to $1.0 million. The reduction was the result of lower
interest rates.

         Other Income(Expense). Other income/(expense) decreased $1.2 million
for the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily
the result of the recording of $1.0 million of fee income related to the
arrangement of financing for SET Enterprises, Inc. in connection with its
purchase of NMF and NMPM in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002
other income decreased $1.6 million due to the recording of the $1.0 million of
fee income discussed above and the assignment of rights related to a prior
acquisition of $0.6 million during 2001.

         Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 increased 28.3%, or $0.5 million, to $2.4 million from $1.8
million for the comparable period in 2001. The third quarter expense increased
150.5% or $0.8 million to $0.3 million from $(0.5) million for the third quarter
of 2001. The nine-month increase is primarily the result of higher pre-tax
profit. The increase in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter
of 2001 was due to increased earnings. In addition, the 2002 quarter included an
accrual to return adjustment reducing income taxes by $0.4 million and the 2001
quarter included a $1.1 million reduction in taxes related to tax planning
strategies.

         Net Earnings. As a result of the foregoing factors, net earnings for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 increased, including an
extraordinary gain of $0.3 million, to $5.5 million from $2.6 million for the
comparable period of the prior year, an increase of 108.7%. For the third
quarter, net income increased 13.5% to $2.0 million from $1.7 million in the
third quarter of 2001.




                                                                              16


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's cash requirements have historically been satisfied
through a combination of cash flows from operations, and equity and debt
financing. The Company's working capital needs and capital equipment
requirements have increased as a result of the growth of the Company and are
expected to continue to increase as a result of anticipated growth. The
anticipated increase in required working capital and capital equipment
requirements are expected to be met from cash flow from operations, equipment
financing, revolving credit borrowings and equity financing.

         The Company generated cash from operations of $9.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $2.6 million for the same period in
2001. Net cash provided by operations was primarily the result of net income,
increased accounts payable, depreciation, decreased accounts receivable, and
increased income taxes payable, which was partially offset by a decrease in
accrued liabilities and an increase in inventories and prepaid expenses. Net
cash used in investing activities of $6.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was primarily due to purchases of property, plant and
equipment, partially offset by the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Financing activities provided cash of $2.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 primarily from net borrowings on the Company's Credit
Facility.

         In February 2002, one of the Company's customers, National Steel, Inc.
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Company has a pre-petition
account receivable in the amount of approximately $1.2 million. The Company is
currently evaluating possible options for collection and has created a reserve
of $0.7 million for the possible uncollectible amount of this receivable. This
reserve was based on the Company's best estimate. The Company does not
anticipate any loss of sales due to this event.

         The amount of the Company's revolving credit facility with Comerica
Bank (the "Credit Facility") was $50 million at December 31, 2001, subsequently
amended to $60.0 million in May 2002. The Credit Facility expires on November
30, 2002. The Company has a commitment from its lender on a new $60.0 million
Credit Facility that will take effect in December 2002 and will expire in 2005.
Therefore, the Company has reclassified its current Credit Facility from current
liabilities to long-term liabilities. The Credit Facility is secured by the
assets of Noble and its subsidiaries and provides for the issuance of up to $5.0
million in standby or documentary letters of credit. The Credit Facility may be
utilized for general corporate purposes, including working capital and
acquisition financing, and provides the Company with borrowing options for
multi-currency loans. Borrowing options include a euro-currency rate or a base
rate. Advances under the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September
30, 2002 bore interest at the rate of approximately 4.04% per annum. The Credit
Facility is subject to customary financial and other covenants including, but
not limited to, limitations on payment of dividends, limitations on
consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets, and bank approval on acquisitions
over $25.0 million ($15 million under the new facility). The Company is in
compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Company currently
guarantees $10.0 million of SET Enterprises, Inc.'s senior debt that matures in
2003. As of the date of this report, the Company does not believe the lender
will call the guarantee.

         On April 22, 2002, the Company completed a sale and leaseback
transaction of its Shelbyville, Kentucky facility to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. The sale price was $6.2 million which was equal to the book
value of the property. The proceeds of the transaction were used to reduce the
Company's debt under the Credit Facility. The lease has a term of five years and
provides for monthly rent of $70,000. The sale price and rent amount were
determined by the estimated fair value of the property and estimated prevailing
lease rates for similar properties. Although the Company did not obtain an
independent valuation of the property or the terms of the transaction,
management believes the terms of the sale and leaseback were at least as
favorable to Noble as terms that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated
third party.




                                                                              17


         The liquidity provided by the Company's Credit Facility and committed
Credit Facility is expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's currently
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least twelve
months. There can be no assurance, however, that such funds will not be expended
prior thereto due to changes in economic conditions or other unforeseen
circumstances, requiring the Company to obtain additional financing prior to the
end of such twelve-month period. In addition, the Company regularly reviews, as
part of its business strategy, future growth through opportunistic acquisitions
which may involve the expenditure of significant funds. Depending upon the
nature, size and timing of future acquisitions, if any, the Company may be
required to obtain additional debt or equity financing in connection with such
future acquisitions. There can be no assurance, however, that additional
financing will be available to the Company, when and if needed, on acceptable
terms or at all.


SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 4, 2002 the Company completed the sale of 925,000 shares of its
common stock. The transaction provided net proceeds to the Company of $9.1
million. The Company used the proceeds to reduce its senior debt.


INFLATION

         Inflation generally affects the Company by increasing the interest
expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor,
equipment and raw materials. The Company does not believe that inflation has had
a material effect on its business over the past two years.



ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


         The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
International revenues from the Company's foreign subsidiaries were
approximately 8.2% of the total revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 12.2% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002. For the
comparable periods in 2001 international revenues from the Company's foreign
subsidiaries were 9.7% and 11.8%, respectively. The Company's primary foreign
currency exposure is to the Canadian Dollar. The Company manages its exposure to
foreign currency assets and earnings primarily by funding certain foreign
currency denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency and, as such,
certain exposures are naturally offset.

         As of September 30, 2002 only 1.6% of the Company's long-lived assets
are based in its foreign subsidiaries compared to 1.8% as of September 30, 2001.
These assets are translated into U.S. Dollars at foreign currency exchange rates
in effect as of the end of each period, with the effect of such translation
reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Accordingly, the
Company's consolidated stockholders' equity will fluctuate depending on the
weakening or strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the respective foreign
currency.

         The Company's financial results are affected by changes in U.S. and
foreign interest rates. The Company does not hold financial instruments that are
subject to market risk (interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk).



ITEM 4: DISCLOSURE CONTROLS

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, the Company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of

                                                                              18


including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the
Company's periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
