             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 six-month and three-month periods
ending March 30, 1997 and March 24, 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 Form S-4 Registration Statement, file number
333-21819 declared effective 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 are 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 are 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. 

The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the six months ended March 30,
1997 and March 24, 1996, assuming consummation of the purchase and issuance of
the debt, as of September 25, 1995, as described in note 6, are as follows:

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
$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 Canada, 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. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 25, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of a U.S. manufacturer

subject to certain price adjustments.  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.

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

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 24, 1996

NET SALES:  Net sales for the three month period ended March 30, 1997 ("second
quarter 1997") were $80.6 million, an increase of $28.7 million, or 55.2%, from
the three month period ended March 24, 1996 ("second quarter 1996").  Second
quarter 1997 net sales were comprised of $63.6 million of automotive product
sales, $4.9 million of consumer and other product sales, and $12.1 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 production parts related to the Ford
F-Series truck program and the General Motors Grand Prix program.

GROSS MARGIN:  Gross margin was $14.6 million, or 18.1% of net sales, for 
second quarter 1997 compared to $8.5 million, or 16.3% of net sales, for
second 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 
second quarter 1997 were $8.9 million, or 11.0% of net sales, compared to
$6.7 million, or 12.8% of net sales, for second quarter 1996.  The
reduction of SG&A as a percentage of net sales was the result of
increased net sales discussed above.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Interest expense was $2.9 million for second quarter 1997 
compared to $0.9 million for second quarter of 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 second quarter 1997
was $0.9 million with an effective tax rate of 33.5%, as compared to $0.7
million with an effective tax rate of 54.4% for second quarter 1996. The
lower effective tax rate is due to utilization of  Canadian tax benefits 
not available in the 1996 period and certain accruals in 1996 for settlement of 
prior year's income tax liabilities.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 24, 1996

NET SALES:  Net sales for the six month period ended March 30, 1997 ("first
half 1997") were $132.9 million, an increase of $27.8 million, or 26.4%, from
the six month period ended March 24, 1996 ("first half 1996").  First half 1997
net sales were comprised of  approximately $109.5 million of  automotive
product sales, $10.0 million of consumer and other product sales, and $13.4
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 $22.5 million, or 16.9% of net sales, for 
first half 1997 compared to $16.7 million, or 15.9% of net
sales, for first half 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the
Molmec acquisition and increased net sales discussed above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES:  SG&A expenses for first
half 1997 were $15.1 million, or 11.4% of net sales, compared
to $13.4 million, or 12.7% of net sales, for first half 1996.  The
reduction of SG&A as a percentage of net sales was the result of
increased net sales discussed above.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Interest expense was $4.0 million for first half 1997 
compared to $1.8 million for first half 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 first half 1997 was $1.4 
million with an effective tax rate of 37.9%, as compared to $1.3 million with 
an effective tax rate of 77.1% for first half 1996.  The lower 
effective tax rate is due to utilization of  Canadian tax benefits not 
available in 1996 and certain accruals in 1996 for settlement of prior year's 
income tax liabilities.


ACQUISITION OF MOLMEC:  On January 22, 1997, the Company acquired 
substantially all the assets of Molmec for approximately $57.6 million in cash
and the assumption of certain liabilities including $5.0 million of 
indebtedness and $11.6 million of current liabilities.  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 and net income 
for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $88.1 million and $7.7 million, 
respectively.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES AND NEW SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY:  On January 22, 1997,
the Company 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 the 
Company's existing indebtedness.  Also in January of 1997, the Company 
obtained a new senior credit facility which provides available borrowings of 
up to $45.0 million under revolving loans.

DOMESTIC BUSINESS ACQUISITION SUBSEQUENT TO MARCH 30, 1997:   On April 25,
1997, the Company consummated the acquisition of certain assets of a U.S.
manufacturer of automotive air vents for approximately $6.5 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.

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 March 30, 1997, the Company had $122.6 million of long term
debt outstanding and $33.9 million of borrowing availability under its
revolving credit facility.

Cash used by operating activities in the six month period ended March 30, 1997
was $1.0 million compared to $2.2 million of cash provided by operating
activities in the six month period ended March 24, 1996.  The reduction in cash
provided by operating activities was the result of higher accounts receivable 
and inventory balances resulting from the addition of Molmec and increased 
levels of accrued mold costs related to programs to be launched in the next 
twelve months.

Capital expenditures for the six month period ended March 30, 1997 were $8.8
million compared to $7.5 million for the six month period ended March 24, 1996.
Fiscal year 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.

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
<PAGE>   21



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.
