            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


1. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine-month
and three month periods ending June 29, 1997 and June 23, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
September 28, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
financial statements included in the Company's prospectus dated April 29, 1997.

2. IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD ADOPTED IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING IN
SEPTEMBER, 1997

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of,which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount.  Statement 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.  The
Company's former policy was to measure an impairment loss for assets held for
use based upon expected undiscounted future cash flows.  The Company adopted
Statement 121 in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 28, 1997,
and based on current circumstances, no impairment losses were required to be
recognized.

3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

In November 1996, LDM Technologies Company, an indirect subsidiary of the
Company, retired notes payable to Barclays Bank of Canada and Gentra Canada, 
resulting in a $753,510 extraordinary gain on extinguishment.  Because of the 
1996 Canadian operating losses, there was no tax effect related to the gain.

4. PURCHASE OF MOLMEC

On January 22, 1997, the Company purchased the business and certain net assets
of Molmec, Inc. (a manufacturer of automotive under the hood plastics products)
for approximately $55 million.  The acquisition was financed by the issuance of
debt as described in note 6.  The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method.  Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the net
assets acquired was recorded as goodwill which will be amortized over 15 years
using the straight-line method.

5. ISSUANCE OF DEBT

On January 22, 1997, the Company issued, in a private placement (the "Initial
Offering"), $110 million aggregate principal amount of its 10 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007, Series A (the "Notes").  The net proceeds of the
Initial Offering, which amounted to approximately $105 million, were used to
repay debt in default amounting to $37.8 million, to repay a $3 million note
payable to a former shareholder, to fund the acquisition described in note 5
and for general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company obtained a new
senior credit facility which provides available borrowings of up to $45 million 
under revolving loans. The Company also obtained a replacement letter of credit
with respect to its $8.8 million Multi-Option Adjustable Rate Notes.

On February 14, 1997 the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 to
register $110 million aggregate principal amount of its 10 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007, Series B (the "Exchange Notes").  The Exchange
Notes have identical terms and conditions as the Notes, except for certain
transfer restrictions relating to the Notes.  The Company's registration
statement was declared effective on April 29, 1997 by the Commission.  As of May
28, 1997, the day the exchange offer expired, $109 million Exchange Notes were
exchanged for the Notes.  The Notes and the Exchange Notes are guaranteed by
certain subsidiaries of the Company, namely LDM Holdings, L.L.C., LDM Canada
Limited Partnership and LDM Technologies Company, but will not be guaranteed by
Como or LDM Technologies S. de R.L. Neither LDM Holdings, L.L.C. nor LDM Canada
Limited Partnership have investments or activities other than their ownership 
interests in LDM Technologies Company.  Supplemental financial information for 
the guarantor and nonguarantor subsidiaries is disclosed below.
        
        
6. PURCHASE OF AEROQUIP KENDALLVILLE, INDIANA FACILITY

On April 25, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of a U.S. manufacturer
of automotive instrumental panel air vents for a purchase price of 
approximately $6.9 million.  Net sales for the entity were approximately $15.5 
million for the twelve month period ended March 30, 1997 of which approximately
$5.9 million were sales to the Company.  The acquisition will allow the Company
to vertically integrate and increase its instrument panel manufacturing 
capabilities.  The acquisition was financed with operating cash and was
accounted for using the purchase method.  Accordingly, the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were recorded at fair values and the excess of the purchase
price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill which be amortized
over 15 years using the straight-line method.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FIANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                 OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 23, 1996

NET SALES:  Net sales for the three month period ended June 29, 1997 ("third
quarter 1997") were $82.4 million, an increase of $25.5 million, or 44.8%, from
the three month period ended June 23, 1996 ("third quarter 1996").  Third
quarter 1997 net sales were comprised of $73.4 million of automotive product
sales, $4.5 million of consumer and other product sales, and $4.5 million of
mold sales.  The strong sales growth was mainly attributable to increased
automotive product sales related to the Company's January 22, 1997 acquisition
of Molmec, Inc. and continued strength of the Company's existing production
parts programs.

GROSS MARGIN:  Gross margin was $18.7 million, or 22.6% of net sales, for the
third quarter 1997 compared to $9.8 million, or 17.2% of net sales, for third
quarter 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the Molmec acquisition and
improved profitability of the Company's Canadian automotive operation. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES:  SG&A expenses for the
third quarter 1997 were $10.4 million, or 12.6% of net sales, compared to
$6.5 million, or 11.4% of net sales, for the third quarter 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Interest expense was $3.4 million for the third quarter 1997
compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter 1996.  The increased interest
expense was primarily due to the incurrence of additional debt related to the
Molmec acquisition. 


INCOME TAXES:  The provision for income taxes for the third quarter 1997 was
$1.9 million with an effective tax rate of 37.5%, as compared to $1.4 million
with an effective tax rate of 49.96% for the third quarter 1996. The lower
effective tax rate is due to the Company's utilization of Canadian tax
benefits not available in the 1996 period and that the Company made payments in
1996 to settle prior year's income tax liabilities.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 23, 1996

NET SALES:  Net sales for the nine month period ended June 29, 1997 ("year to
date June 1997") were $215.2 million, an increase of $53.3 million, or 32.9%,
from the nine month period ended June 23, 1996 ("year to date June 1996").
Year to date June 1997 net sales were comprised of  approximately $182.0
million of  automotive product sales, $15.3 million of consumer and other
product sales, and $17.9 million of mold sales. The strong sales growth was
mainly attributable to increased automotive product sales related to the
Company's January 22, 1997 acquisition of Molmec, Inc. and continued strength
of the Company's existing products.

GROSS MARGIN:  Gross margin was $41.2 million, or 19.1% of net sales, for the
nine months ended June 29, 1997 compared to $26.5 million, or 16.3% of net
sales, for the nine months ended June 23, 1996.  The increase was primarily due
to the Molmec acquisition and improved profitability of the Company's existing
automotive operations.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES:  SG&A expenses for the
nine months ended June 29, 1997 were $25.5 million, or 11.9% of net sales,
compared to $19.9 million, or 12.3% of net sales, for the nine months ended
June 23, 1996.  The reduction of SG&A as a percentage of net sales was mainly
the result of increased net sales mentioned herein.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Interest expense was $7.4 million for the nine months ended
June 29, 1997 compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended June 23, 1996.
The increased interest expense was primarily due to the incurrence of
additional debt related to the Molmec acquisition.


INCOME TAXES:  The provision for income taxes for the nine month period ended
June 29, 1997 was $3.3 million with an effective tax rate of 37.7%, as compared
to $2.7 million with an effective tax rate of 60.5% for the nine months ended
June 23, 1996.  The lower effective tax rate is due to the Company's
utilization of Canadian tax  benefits not available in the 1996 period and that
the Company made payments in 1996 to settle prior year's income tax liabilities.

ACQUISITION OF MOLMEC:  On January 22, 1997, LDM acquired substantially all the
net assets of Molmec for approximately $55.0 million in cash.  Molmec is an 
industry leader in the design, manufacture and integration of fluid and air 
management components and under the hood assemblies.  Molmec's net sales for 
the year ended December 31, 1996 were $88.1 million.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES AND NEW SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY:  In January of 1997,
LDM issued senior subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$110.0 million bearing interest at 10.75% annually. The proceeds were primarily
used to fund the purchase of Molmec and to retire certain of LDM's existing
indebtedness.  Also in January of 1997, LDM obtained a new senior credit
facility which provides available borrowings of up to $45.0 million under
revolving loans.

PURCHASE OF AEROQUIP KENDALLVILLE, INDIANA FACILITY:   On April 25,
1997, the Company consummated the acquisition of certain assets of a U.S.
manufacturer of automotive air vents for approximately $6.9 million.  The 
acquired assets include certain elements of the seller's real property, 
machinery, equipment and inventory.  The company funded the acquisition with 
cash and available funds under its senior credit facility.  Net sales for the 
entity were approximately $15.5 million for the twelve month period ended 
March 30, 1997 of which approximately $5.9 million were sales to LDM.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs,
to meet required debt obligations, and capital expenditures for facility
maintenance and expansion.  The  Company believes its future cash flow from
operations, combined with its revolving credit availability will be sufficient
to meet its planned debt service, capital requirements and internal growth
opportunities. Potential growth from acquisitions will be funded from a variety
of sources including, cash flow from operations and permitted additional
indebtedness.  As of June 29, 1997 the Company had $123.6 million of long term
debt outstanding and $28.4 million of borrowing availability under its
revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities in the nine month period ended June 29,
1997 was $9.2 million compared to $7.4 million of cash provided by operating
activities in the nine month period ended June 23, 1996.  The increase in cash
provided by operating activities was primarily the result of higher operating 
profits discussed elsewhere in this document.

Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended June 29, 1997 were $10.9
million compared to $12.2 million for the nine months ended June 23, 1996.
Fiscal 1997 capital expenditures include several injection molding machines,
secondary equipment related to the F-Series Truck program and expenditures
related to the Auburn Hills Design Center.  On May 13, 1997 the Company sold
the Molmec Headquarters facility located in Walled Lake, Michigan.  The net
proceeds from the sale of this facility were $1.5 million.

The Company believes its capital expenditures (exclusive of any potential
acquisitions) will be approximately $9.0 million to $13.5 million in each of
the fiscal years ended September 1997, 1998 and 1999.  However, the Company's
capital expenditures may be greater than currently anticipated as the result of
new business opportunities.


                                     20

The Company's liquidity is affected by both the cyclical nature of its business
and levels of net sales to its major customers.  The Company's ability to meet
its working capital and capital expenditure requirements and debt obligations
will depend on its future operating performance, which will be affected by
prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors,
certain of which are beyond its control.  However, the Company believes that
its existing borrowing ability and cash flow from operations will be sufficient
to meet its liquidity requirements in the foreseeable future.
