EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No.3 to Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1999
is made to reflect accounting treatment of discontinued operations expense not
recognized as a specific income statement line item in the original filing of
Form 10-Q.  Originally, the Form 10-Q reflected discontinued operations within
earnings before tax.  This amendment restates the income statement to correctly
reflect discontinued operations expense of $531,000.


Revised Item #1, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, and Item #2, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as amended are
included in their entirety as part of this Form 10-Q/A.

In addition, certain reclassifications were made to additional paid-in-capital
and retained earnings in the COMBINING FINANCIAL INFORMATION of TRIANON CORP
BALANCE SHEET AS OF MARCH 31, 1999.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Effective May 12, 1999, MS Acquisition Corp changed its name to Trianon
     Industries Corp.

     Trianon Industries Corp. ("the Company") is the name of the group formed by
     the combination of the activities of SOFEDIT S.A. and Trianon Industries
     Corp.

     Trianon Industries Corp. ("Trianon Industries"), through Aetna Industries
     Inc. ("Aetna"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, is a leading direct supplier
     of high quality modules, welded subassemblies and chassis parts used as
     original equipment components in the North American automobile industry.

     SOFEDIT S.A., ("Sofedit") a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
     the Company, is a leading direct supplier of welded subassemblies, body in
     white parts, clutch, brake and accelerator pedal modules, fuel tanks and
     crossmembers and chassis parts used as original equipment components by
     manufacturers in the European automobile industry.

     Trianon Industries and its direct and indirect wholly-owned United States
     subsidiaries (i.e., Aetna Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Aetna
     Holdings"), Aetna Manufacturing Canada Ltd., a Michigan corporation ("Aetna
     Canada"), and Aetna Export Sales Corp., a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation
     ("Export")) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 11 7/8% Senior
     Notes due 2006 issued by Aetna in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0
     million (the "Senior Notes"). Separate financial statements or other
     disclosures relative to Aetna Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada have not
     been presented as management has determined that such information is not
     material to investors.

     On April 14, 1998, Trianon Industries completed a combination with Societe
     Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French
     societe anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the
     Combination, Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding
     capital stock of Sofedit to Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i)
     promissory notes of Trianon Industries in the principal amount of $40.9
     million; (ii) dividends in an amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii)
     270,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of
     Trianon Industries; (iv) 3.0 million shares of Common Stock of Trianon
     Industries, and (v) the assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt
     of such former stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a
     reverse acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately
     75% of the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon Industries as
     a result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered
     to be the acquirer of, and the predecessor to, Trianon Industries.

     As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse
     acquisition, the financial statements included herein for the three month
     period ended March 31,1998 represent the historical information of Sofedit,
     as predecessor. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1999 represents
     the consolidated financial position of Sofedit and Trianon Industries.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
     Trianon Industries have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
     Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required by
     generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
     All adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are,
     in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
     results of the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations
     for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of
     operations for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
     statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     The statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
     March 31, 1999 represent the three month financial data of Sofedit plus
     Trianon Industries. On a pro forma basis, Trianon Industries had net sales
     of $189.9 million, and pre-tax income of $3.6 million, for the three
     months ended March 31, 1998.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Aetna Industries, Inc. ("Aetna") is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
     Trianon Industries Corp. ("Trianon Industries") and is a wholly-owned
     direct subsidiary of Aetna Holdings, Inc. ("Aetna Holdings") and has two
     wholly-owned subsidiaries Aetna Export Sales Corp. ("Export") and Aetna
     Manufacturing Canada Ltd ("Aetna Canada"). Trianon Industries is a holding
     company that was formed for the sole purpose of purchasing Aetna and does
     not have any significant operations, other than its investments in its
     subsidiaries assets or liabilities, preferred stock and junior
     subordinated debentures.

     Trianon Industries, Holdings, Export and Canada have fully and
     unconditionally guaranteed the 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2006 issued by
     Aetna in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 (the "Senior Notes").
     Separate financial statements or other disclosures relative to Aetna
     Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada have not been presented as management has
     determined that such information is not material to investors.

     On April 14, 1998, Aetna's parent, Trianon Industries Corp. (Trianon
     Industries) completed a combination with Societe Financiere de
     Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French societe anonyme
     (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the Combination, Sofedit's
     former stockholders transferred the outstanding capital stock of Sofedit to
     Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i) promissory notes of Trianon
     Industries in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii) dividends in an
     amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares of Series B
     Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of Trianon Industries; (iv)
     3.0 million shares of Common Stock of Trianon Industries, and (v) the
     assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt of such former
     stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a reverse
     acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately 75% of
     the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon Industries as a
     result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered
     to be the acquirer of, and the predecessor to, Trianon Industries.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
     Aetna have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X
     and do not include all the information and notes required by generally
     accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All
     adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are, in
     the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
     of the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations for such
     interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for
     a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
     should be read in conjunction with Aetna's consolidated financial
     statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

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

TRIANON INDUSTRIES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On April 14, 1998, Trianon Industries completed a combination with Societe
Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French societe
anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the Combination,
Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding capital stock of
Sofedit to Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i) promissory notes of Trianon
Industries in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii) dividends in an amount
of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock
($27.0 million stated value) of Trianon Industries; (iv) 3.0 million shares of
Common Stock of Trianon Industries, and (v) the assumption of approximately
$12.0 million of debt of such former stockholders. The Combination has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own
approximately 75% of the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon
Industries as a result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is
considered to be the acquirer of, and predecessor of Trianon Industries.

As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the
statements of operations and cash flows included herein for the three month

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO PROFORMA THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1998


NET SALES: Net sales were $218.1 million, up 16.5% from the $187.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net sales in North America was 25.9%
higher in the first three months in 1999 than 1998. The increase in North
America Sales was due to DaimlerChrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Cami
Vitara, and an increase in tooling and prototype sales.  Net sales in Europe
were up 12.7% in the first quarter 1999 from 1998, or 7.2% excluding the effects
of foreign exchange. The increase in European sales was due to both a general
growth in the car market and to the launch of the Renault Clio II, Peugeot 20,
and the Mercedes Class S in 1998 which reached full production in 1999.



GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $26.2 million, or 12.0% of net sales, for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $24.2 million, or 12.9% of net
sales, for the same period in 1998. In North America, gross profit was $8.1
million for three months ended 1999 and 1998. In Europe, gross profit reached
$18.3 million or 12.1% of net sales, versus $16.3 million or 12.1% of net sales
in 1998. The increase in European gross margin is mainly due to reducing launch
and project costs and to the first effect of cost saving plans implemented at
several production facilities.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
three months ended March 31,1999 were $14.1 million, or 7.5% of net sales,
compared to $14.5 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.
Increased costs were due to increased project team activity and the
reinforcement of the current management structure.



INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$7.3 million, or 3.3% of net sales, compared to $6.0 million, or 3.2% of net
sales in the same period in the prior



year. The increase in interest expense is due principally to a sharp increase
in tooling inventory relating to two major projects in North America. In
Europe, interest expense was $2.4 million or 1.6% of sales, versus $2.1 million
for the same period in 1998. Excluding the effect of exchange rate
fluctuations, interest expense in Europe raised by 4.7%. The increase is mainly
due to a $7.3 million increase in medium and short term debt.


INCOME TAXES: The income tax for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $2.3
million with an effective tax rate of 52.5% as compared to a provision of $1.0
million with an effective tax rate of 28.5% for the same period in the prior
year. The change in the effective tax rate is mainly due to loss incurred in
North America and to reduced research and development tax credit in France.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Trianon Industries's primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from
operations and short-term and long-term debt, including the sale of receivables.
Trianon Industries's principal use for these funds is to finance working capital
needs, debt payments and planned maintenance and expansion activities. The
Company's liquidity is affected by both the cyclical nature of its business and
its level of net sales. The Company believes that operating cash flow and its
line of bank credit will be sufficient to cover its short-term and long-term
capital expenditures and debt payment obligations. Nevertheless, Trianon
Industries's ability to meet these liquidity demands will depend upon future
operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions
and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond Trianon
Industries's control.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities totaling $19.0 million, compared to $26.1 million at
December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had current assets of
$318.1 million, compared to $377.4 million in current liabilities, giving it
negative working capital of $59.3 million, compared to negative $80.2 million at
December 31, 1998.

At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had $16.5 million available under its
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Aetna, Trianon Industries, Aetna
Holdings, Aetna Export Sales Co., Aetna Canada and NBD Bank (the "Senior
Revolving Credit Facility"). Restricted cash of $10.7 million at March 31, 1999
represents cash held by Sofedit in a mutual fund until June 1999 to warranty
an additional line of credit for Aetna Industries.

On March 31, 1999, short-term debt consisted of $13.0 million of bank overdraft,
$56.7 million of line of credit, $34.8 million bank borrowing, promissory notes
of $40.9 million. Long-term debt consisted of Senior notes of $85.0 million,
long-term bank loans of $60.5 million, leasing contracts of $27.5 million and
junior debt of $9.1 million.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million compared to $10.9
million in the same period of the prior year. The principal reason for the
decrease in cash provided by operating activities is attributable to lower net
income, tooling inventory increases, partially offset by increased depreciation
and amortization.

Net cash used for investing activities was $7.5 million and $9.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The change was due
principally to decreased capital expenditures in North America. Capital
expenditures in Europe reached $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 1998.


                                       18

<PAGE>   20
Net cash provided by financing was $0.7 million compared to cash provided of
$0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
This change was principally due to an increase in medium term loans in Europe
in 1999.

EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION

Since substantial portions of Trianon Industries's activities are carried out in
Europe, Trianon Industries is actively preparing for the introduction of a
single European currency. After January 1, 1999, Trianon Industries will be
required, upon the request of any party with which it transacts to use the euro
as a currency of payment in its European commercial activities in certain
financial transactions and in dealings with administrative bodies. On the basis
of currently available information, Trianon Industries does not expect that
expenses to be incurred in connection with the introduction of the euro as a
currency of payment for Trianon Industries will have a material adverse effect
on the results of operations or financial position of Trianon Industries.

YEAR 2000

Trianon Industries has conducted a review of its computer systems to identity
those areas that may not be Year 2000 compliant and is developing a plan to
resolve the issue. Trianon Industries believes that by modifying existing
software and obtaining new releases of licensed software, the Year 2000
transition can be carried out without significant operational expenses or
significant investments in computer systems improvements. On the basis of
currently available information, Trianon Industries does not expect that
expenses be incurred in connection with the continuing identification of systems
which are not Year 2000 compliant and with their replacement or upgrade will
have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or financial
position of Trianon Industries. There can be, however, no assurances of the
absence of any disruptions in Trianon Industries's own systems or those of its
customers and suppliers. Trianon Industries considers that sufficient resources
have been dedicated to address these issues in a timely manner.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments. This statement is not expected to have a material effect
on Trianon Industries's financial position or results of operations.

In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 98-5 ("SOP") 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities.
This statement prescribes accounting treatment for start-up activities and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The adoption of
this statement did not have a material effect on Trianon Industries's financial
position or result of operations.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors related to the highly
competitive nature of the automotive supplier industry and its sensitivity to
changes in general economic conditions, the results of financing efforts and
other factors discussed in Aetna's or Trianon Industries's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors could cause Trianon
Industries's actual results during the remainder of 1999 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on
behalf of Aetna or Trianon Industries. There can be no assurance that
additional sources of financing will not be required during the next twelve
months as a result of unanticipated cash demands or opportunities for expansion
or acquisition, changes in growth strategy or adverse operating results. There
can be no assurance that any additional funds required, whether within the next
twelve months or thereafter, will be available to Aetna or Trianon Industries
on satisfactory terms.

NET SALES: Net sales for the first quarter of 1999 were $66.8 million, or 25.9%
higher than first quarter 1998 sales of $53.1 million. Production sales of $58.8
million in the first quarter of 1999 were up $6.3 million from $52.5 million in
the first quarter of 1998, due to DaimlerChrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee and the
Cami Vitara. Tooling and prototype sales were up $ 7.7 million for the same
period.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $8.1 million, or 12.1% of net sales, for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $ 8.1 million, or 15.3 % of net sales, for the
same period in 1998. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of
higher tooling sales with little or no associated margin and the loss of higher
margin products such as DaimlerChrysler's mini-van.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
first quarter of 1999 were $5.0 million, or 7.4% of net sales, compared to $ 4.5
million, or 8.5% of net sales, for the same period in 1998. As a percent of net
sales, the decrease was a result of launch expense that is no longer being
incurred.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 was $3.8
million, or 5.7% of net sales, compared to $2.9 million or 5.4% of net sales for
the same period in 1998. Interest expense was impacted by higher levels of
short-term debt used to finance the launch of the Saturn and WJ programs, and
other working platform capital requirements.

INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit in the first quarter of 1999 was $0.1
million as compared to income tax of $ 0.2 million for the same period in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Aetna's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to
meet required debt payments and to complete planned maintenance and expansion
expenditures.

At March 31, 1999 there was $16.5 million available under the Senior Revolving
Credit Facility. Management currently anticipates that its operating cash flow,
together with available borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditure
requirements, and interest requirements on debt obligations.

The terms of the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued
contains certain restrictive covenants which include restrictions on the ability
of Aetna, Aetna Canada and Export from paying dividends or making certain other
payments to Aetna Holdings or Trianon Industries.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash flows provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999
aggregated $6.6 million. This compares to net cash used for operations of $ 1.8
million for the same period in 1998. The increase is due primarily to decrease
in tooling inventory and increased depreciation and amortization expenses.

Net cash flows used for investing activities aggregated $0.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $3.2 million for the same
period in 1998 and consists principally of capital expenditures. The major
capital projects during 1999 have been the purchase of robots for the Saturn
Innovate launch, equipment to support Aetna's development lab for 3 dimensional
remote welding, and the purchase and installation of robots to support increased
volume requirements for the GM rear suspension assembly.

Net cash flows used for financing aggregated $7.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to cash provided of $5.3 million for the same
period in the prior year. 1999 included a $5.0 million capital contribution from
Trianon, offset by decreases in the Senior Revolving Credit Facility of $12.1
million, while 1998 represented an increase in the Senior Revolving Credit
Facility.
