Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 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 three and six-month
periods ended March 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending September 27, 1998. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 1997.
2. PURCHASES OF MOLMEC, AEROQUIP KENDALLVILLE - INDIANA FACILITY, KENCO
PLASTICS, AEROQUIP BEIENHEIM - GERMAN FACILITY, AND HURON PLASTICS GROUP
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 $55.9 million. The acquisition was financed by the issuance of
debt as described in note 3.
On April 25, 1997, the Company purchased the business and certain net assets of
Aeroquip, Inc.'s Kendallville, Indiana Facility (a manufacturer of automotive
plastic air register vents). The purchase price was approximately $7.2 million.
The acquisition was financed with working capital.
On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired the entire voting stock of Kenco
Plastics, Inc. (Michigan) and Kenco Plastics, Inc. (Kentucky) and the business
and net tangible assets of Narens Design and Engineering, Inc. for approximately
$27.1 million in cash. The acquisition was financed with additional borrowings
under the existing Senior Credit Facility.
On November 25, 1997, the Company acquired the business and certain net assets
comprising the `Beienheim' plant of Aeroquip Corporation for approximately $9.1
million in cash. The acquisition was financed with additional borrowings under
the existing Senior Credit Facility.
On February 6, 1998, LDM acquired the stock of Huron Plastics Group, Inc. and
substantially all the assets of Tadim, Inc. (collectively referred to herein as
"HPG") for $69.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The
transaction was funded with proceeds from a $66.0 million dollar term loan
issued by the Company's senior lender. HPG's sales and net income for its fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997 were $88.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. HPG
manufactures a wide variety of interior trim and underhood components for many
automotive customers, including Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, Bundy, TRW,
and Johnson Controls.
The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the six months ended March 29,
1998 and March 30, 1997, assuming consummation of the above described purchases
and issuance of the debt as described in note 3 had occurred on September 30,
1996, are as follows:

Net sales $268,541 $236,462
Net income $827 $1,371
3. ISSUANCE OF DEBT
On January 22, 1997, the Company issued $110 million aggregate principal amount
of its 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. The net proceeds, which
amounted to approximately $105 million, were used to repay debt in default
amounting to $37.8 million, to repay the $3 million note payable to a former
shareholder, to fund the Molmec acquisition described in note 2, and for general
corporate purposes. In addition, the Company obtained a new Senior Credit
Facility, which provides available borrowings of $65 million under revolving
loans.
On April 6, 1998, the Company secured additional financing from Bank of America,
its current senior lender. The financing was comprised of a $66.0 million term
loan and an additional $10.0 million line of credit facility. The term loan and
line of credit facility bear interest at the prime rate plus .5% or libor plus
2.5%. Proceeds from the term loan were used to fund the HPG purchase. No draws
have been made on the additional line of credit facility to date.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On February 20, 1998, the Company settled a lawsuit for damages and specific
performance of a contract related to certain equipment purchase obligations,
which resulted in a reversal to income of $0.4 million from the previously
recorded estimated settlement reserve.
In March 1998, the Company settled an outstanding notification of violation of
certain permitted air emission levels at one of its plants. The amount of the
settlement was $170,000. At September 28, 1997, the Company had a related
reserve for $160,000. The additional $10,000 was expensed in the current
quarter.
5. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The $110 million 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, the Senior Credit
Facility, and the standby letter or credit with respect to the $8.8 million
Multi-Option Adjustable Rate Notes are obligations of LDM Technologies, Inc.,
and are guaranteed fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally by LDM
Technologies Company, ("LDM Canada") and certain holding companies (LDM Holdings
L.L.C., and LDM Canada Limited Partnership). Non-guarantor subsidiaries consist

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company's financial results for the quarter and six months ended March 29,
1998 (second quarter 1998 and second half 1998) are less favorable than the same
periods in 1997. This is the result of increased goodwill amortization and
lower margins associated with its fiscal 1998 acquisitions.
FISCAL YEAR 1998 ACQUISITIONS
KENCO: On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired the entire outstanding stock
of Kenco Plastics, Inc. of Michigan, Kenco Plastics, Inc. of Kentucky and the
business and net tangible assets of Narens Design and Engineering, Inc.
(collectively referred to herein as "Kenco") for approximately $27.1 million in
cash. The acquisition was financed with additional borrowings under the
Company's Senior Credit Facility. Kenco designs and manufactures a full range of
blow molded plastic parts including HVAC components, air induction components,
functional components, and fluid reservoirs at six manufacturing locations in
Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Kenco's customers include Chrysler, Ford,
General Motors, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, and Toyota. Kenco's net sales for the
twelve-month period ended September 28, 1997 were approximately $60.5 million.
BEIENHEIM: On November 25, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the
operating assets of Aeroquip Vickers International GmbH, related to its
manufacturing operation located in Beienheim Germany for approximately $9.7
million in cash, and the assumption of approximately $2.5 million of
liabilities. The acquisition was made through the Company's newly formed German
subsidiary and was financed with additional borrowings under the Company's
Senior Credit Facility. The Beienheim facility manufactures various interior
trim components, exterior trim components, and under the hood components
supplied primarily to European automotive OEM's. Beienheim's customers include
Ford, Opel, and Audi. Net sales for the Beienheim facility over the
twelve-month period ended September 28, 1997 were approximately $33.0 million.
HURON PLASTICS GROUP: On February 6, 1998, the Company acquired the stock of
Huron Plastics Group, Inc. and substantially all the assets of Tadim, Inc,
(collectively referred to herein as "HPG") for $69.0 million in cash and the
assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction was funded with proceeds from
a $66.0 million dollar term loan issued by the Company's senior lender. HPG's
sales and net income for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 were $88.1 million
and $0.8 million, respectively. HPG manufactures a wide variety of interior
trim, underhood and functional components for many automotive customers,
including Ford, Chrysler, General Motors, Bundy, TRW, and Johnson Controls.
FISCAL YEAR 1997 ACQUISITIONS
MOLMEC: On January 22, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all the assets
of Molmec for approximately $55.9 million in cash and the assumption of certain
liabilities including $4.6 million of indebtedness and $8.4 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.
KENDALLVILLE: On April 25, 1997, the Company acquired certain net assets of
Aeroquip Corporation's Kendallville, Indiana plant for $7.2 million in cash. The
Kendallville plant manufactures automotive air vents.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 1998 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1997
NET SALES: Net sales for the three-month period ended March 29, 1998 ("second
quarter 1998") were $125.9 million, an increase of $45.3 million, or 56.2%, from
the three-month period ended March 30, 1997 ("second quarter 1997"). Second
quarter 1998 net sales were comprised of $113.0 million of automotive product
sales, $5.0 million of consumer and other product sales, and $7.9 million of
mold sales. The sales growth is primarily the result of acquisitions described
previously herein.
GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $20.3 million or 16.1% of net sales for the
second quarter of 1998. Second quarter 1998 gross margin related to product
sales was $20.4 million or 17.3% of net product sales compared to $14.3 million
or 20.9% of net product sales for the second quarter of 1997. The decrease in
gross margin related to product sales is the result of lower margins associated
with the 1998 acquisitions.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for second
quarter 1998 were $14.6 million, or 11.6% of net sales, compared to $8.9
million, or 11.0% of net sales, for second quarter 1997. The increase in SG&A as
a percentage of net sales was the result of increased goodwill amortization
related to the acquisitions described previously herein.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $5.0 million for second quarter 1998
compared to $2.9 million for second quarter of 1997. The increased interest
expense was primarily due to the incurrence of additional debt related to the
acquisitions described above.
INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes for second quarter 1998 was $0.2
million with an effective tax rate of 66.0%, as compared to $0.9 million with an
effective tax rate of 33.5% for second quarter 1997. The rate difference relates
principally to certain nondeductible expenses.
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 29, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997
NET SALES: Net sales for the six-month period ended March 29, 1998 ("first half
1998") were $226.2 million, an increase of $93.3 million, or 70.2%, from the
six-month period ended March 30, 1997 ("first half 1997"). First half 1998 net
sales were comprised of approximately $202.0 million of automotive product
sales, $9.7 million of consumer and other product sales, and $14.5 million of
mold sales. The sales growth is primarily the result of acquisitions
described previously herein.
GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $38.2 million or 16.9% of net sales for the first
half of 1998. First half 1998 gross margin related to product sales was $37.5
million or 17.7% of net product sales compared to $21.9 million or 18.3% of net
product sales for the first half of 1997. The decrease was the result of lower
margins associated with the 1998 acquisitions.

<PAGE> 19
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for first
half 1998 were $25.7 million, or 11.3% of net sales, compared to $15.1 million,
or 11.4% of net sales, for first half 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $9.0 million for first half 1998 compared
to $4.0 million for first half 1997. The increased interest expense was
primarily due to the incurrence of additional debt related the acquisitions
described elsewhere herein.
INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes for first half 1998 was $1.5
million with an effective tax rate of 49.4%, as compared to $1.4 million with an
effective tax rate of 37.9% for first half 1997. The rate difference relates
principally to certain nondeductible expenses.
ACQUISITION OF HURON PLASTICS GROUP: On February 6, 1998, the Company acquired
100% of the issued stock of Huron Plastics Group, Inc. and substantially all of
the operating assets of Tadim, Inc. (collectively "HPG"). The aggregate purchase
price was $69.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. HPG
is engaged in molded plastics manufacturing for North American OEM's and their
suppliers. HPG's net sales and net income for the year ended March 31, 1997 were
$88.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
TERM LOAN AND ADDITIONAL LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY: On February 6, 1998, the
Company secured additional financing from Bank of America Business Credit, its
current senior lender. The financing was comprised of a $66 million term loan
and an additional $10 million line of credit facility. The term loan and line
of credit bear interest at the prime rate plus .5% or libor plus 2.5%. Proceeds
from the term loan were used to fund the HPG acquisition. No borrowings have
been made on the additional line of credit facility to date.
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 flows 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 29, 1998, the Company had $179.8 million of long-term
debt outstanding, $55.2 million of revolving loans and current maturities of
long-term debt outstanding and $16.6 million of borrowing availability under its
revolving credit facilities.
Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 1998 was $4.1
million compared to $1.0 million of cash used by operating activities in the
first half of 1997. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
the result of the sales growth described above.
Capital expenditures for the first half of 1998 were $4.2 million compared to
$8.8 million for the first half of 1997. The Company believes its capital
expenditures (exclusive of the HPG acquisition) will be approximately $20.0
million in fiscal year 1998, and approximately $15.0 in fiscal years 1999 and
2000. The majority of the Company's fiscal 1998 capital expenditures will be
used to facilitize for new programs launching in fiscal 1999, install a new
enterprise-wide information system and upgrade certain
19
<PAGE> 20
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
elements of the newly acquired facilities to LDM standards. However, the
Company's capital expenditures may be greater than currently anticipated as the
result of new business opportunities.
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.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE: The information technology systems at the Company are not
Year 2000 compliant. The Company has selected and is in the process of preparing
for the implementation of new information technology systems that are fully Year
2000 compliant. The implementation is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999.
The expenditure related to this project is estimated to be $6 to $7 million over
the next one and a half years. The estimated cost has increased due to
expansion of the project to include hardware upgrades to facilitate the year
2000 compliant software.
