                             LDM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
              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
26, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending September 24, 2000. 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 26, 1999.

2. SALE OF BLOWMOLDING MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT TO DBM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC

Effective as of December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture (DBM
joint venture) that is 49% owned by the Company, and 51% owned by an independent
third party. The Company sold the Kenco business and most of its net current
assets to the DBM joint venture for an amount equal to the net book value of the
assets sold. The sales price of the net current assets approximated $8.8
million.

The Company initially leased all machinery and equipment of the Kenco business
to the joint venture, and is subleasing to the joint venture all real properties
in the Kenco operations.

As part of the original transaction, the Company provided a subordinated $1.8
million loan to the joint venture and guaranteed $1.0 million of the joint
venture line of credit borrowings. As a result of those terms, and the
relatively small amount of equity contributed to the joint venture by the
independent third party, the Company retained substantially all of the risks of
ownership. The investment is treated as an equity investment for accounting
purposes, but the Company has recorded 100% of the joint venture losses as
equity losses.

On December 8, 1999, the Company sold all of the machinery and equipment of the
Kenco business to the joint venture for $10.3 million, the approximate net book
value of the machinery and equipment. Proceeds from the sale were comprised of
$8.3 million in cash and an additional $2.0 million subordinated note payable to
the Company from the joint venture.

As part of the transaction, the joint venture refinanced its line of credit,
which released the Company from the $1 million guarantee discussed above.

The joint venture's new senior lender required the Company to subordinate all
amounts due from the joint venture at the time of refinancing. As a result, the
previous subordinated note payable to the Company was canceled and replaced with
a new subordinated note payable approximating $5.6 million. This amount is
comprised of the $2.0 million related to the machinery and equipment purchase,
$1.9 million related to the original subordinated note payable plus accrued
interest, and $1.7 million related to unpaid machinery and equipment rentals and
miscellaneous other unpaid trade amounts. The new subordinated note payable
bears interest at 9.5% and is payable in equal quarterly installments beginning
June 1, 2000 and shall be fully paid on or before December 8, 2004. Equity
losses have been netted against the notes in consolidation.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

There have been no significant changes in commitments and contingencies from the
matters described in footnote 12 of the Company's consolidated financial
statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 26, 1999.

4. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

The $110 million 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, the Senior Credit
Facility, the standby letters of credit with respect to the $8.8 million
Multi-Option Adjustable Rate Notes, the $4.4 million Variable Rate Demand
Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds and the Senior Term and Capital Expenditures
Line of Credit are obligations of LDM Technologies, Inc. The obligations are
guaranteed fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally by LDM Technologies
Company and LDM Holding Canada, Inc. The non-guarantor subsidiaries are Como,
LDM Germany, LDM Mexico, and LDM Holding Mexico, Inc. LDM Mexico and Como are
currently inactive.

Supplemental consolidating financial information of LDM Technologies, Inc., LDM
Canada (including the related holding company guarantors) and combined Como, LDM
Mexico, and LDM Germany (the non-guarantor subsidiaries) is presented below (in
thousands). Investments in subsidiaries are presented on the equity method of
accounting. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not provided
because management has concluded that the summarized financial information below
provides sufficient information to allow investors to separately determine the
nature of the assets held by and the operations of LDM Technologies, Inc., and
the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this report, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "expect" and similar expressions are
generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned
that any forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent,
belief or current expectations of the Company or its management, are not
guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that
the actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to: (i)
general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates or will
operate; (ii) fluctuations in worldwide or regional automobile and light and
heavy truck production, (iii) labor disputes involving the Company or its
significant customers or suppliers; (iv) changes in practices and/or policies of
the Company's significant customers toward outsourcing automotive components and
systems; (v) foreign currency and exchange fluctuations; (vi) factors affecting
the ability of the Company or its key suppliers to resolve Year 2000 issues in a
timely manner; and (vii) other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend
to update these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company's operating profit for the quarter and six months ended March 26,
2000 have retreated slightly as a percentage of sales compared to the same
periods in 1999. This is the result of continued losses at the Company's
facility in Beienheim, Germany and slight setbacks in its North American
operations.

The Company closed its quarter ended December 19, 1999 one week early to allow
for Year 2000 testing. As a result, the quarter ended March 26, 2000 contains 14
weeks versus a 13 week quarter for the preceding year. The extra week included
in the quarter ended March 26, 2000 resulted in product sales of $6.8 million.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 26, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 28, 1999

NET SALES: Net sales for the three-month period ended March 26, 2000 (second
quarter 2000) were $137.7 million versus $133.7 million for the three-month
period ended March 28, 1999 (second quarter 1999). This is an increase of $4.0
million or 3.0%. The increase is the result of increased product sales related
to the extra week discussed above, offset by a decrease in mold sales, as well
as the elimination of Como Products as a consolidating entity. The Company sold
a major portion of its interest in Como Products in April, 1999.

Second quarter 2000 net sales were comprised of $123.5 million of automotive
product sales and $14.2 million of mold sales. Second quarter 1999 automotive
product sales were $107.6 million, consumer and other product sales were $3.6
million and mold sales were $22.5 million.

The automotive product sale increase of $15.9 million is attributable to the
extra week of operations mentioned above ($6.8 million) and volumes related to
programs launched during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1999 ($9.1
million). The mold sale decrease of $8.3 million also relates to programs
launched in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1999.

GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $22.5 million or 16.3% of net sales for second
quarter 2000 versus $21.6 million or 16.2% for the second quarter 1999. Second
quarter 2000 gross margin related to product sales was $22.5 million or 18.2% of
net product sales compared to $21.4 million or 19.3% of net product sales for
the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in gross margin related to product
sales is the result of continued losses at the Company's facility in Beienheim,
Germany and slight setbacks in North American operations.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for second
quarter 2000 were $15.9 million or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $15.2 million
or 11.3% of net sales, for second quarter 1999.
The increase relates to new product development initiatives.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $5.7 million for second quarter 2000
compared to $5.6 million for second quarter 1999.


                                       17

<PAGE>   18


INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes for second quarter 2000 was $0.9
million on a pretax income of $0.5 million. The tax rate for second quarter 2000
was 198.1%. The high effective tax rate was caused by certain nondeductible
expenses and an increase in the estimated effective tax rate for the year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 26, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28, 1999

NET SALES: Net sales for the six-month period ended March 26, 2000 (first half
2000) were $263.1 million versus $271.8 million for the six-month period ended
March 28, 1999 (first half 1999). This is a decrease of $8.7 million or 3.2%.

First half 2000 net sales were comprised of $242.4 million of automotive product
sales and $20.7 million of mold sales. First half 1999 automotive product sales
were $235.8 million, consumer product sales were $7.8 million, and mold sales
were $28.2 million. Of first half 1999 product sales, $14.7 million were related
to the Company's Kenco Division, which is no longer consolidated due to the DBM
joint venture.

The automotive product sale increase of $6.6 million would be $21.3 million if
the Kenco sales which are no longer consolidated, were taken into account. This
increase is the result of new programs launched in the third and fourth quarters
of fiscal year 1999, and overruns of programs expected to balance out in early
fiscal year 2000. The mold sales decrease relates to programs launched in the
third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1999.

GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $45.4 million or 17.3% of net sales for first
half 2000 versus $46.7 million or 17.2% for the first half 1999. First half 2000
gross margin related to product sales was $45.4 million or 18.7% of net product
sales compared to $47.1 million or 19.3% of net product sales for the first half
of 1999. The decrease in gross margin related to product sales is primarily the
result of continued losses at the Company's Beienheim, Germany facility and
slight setbacks in its North American operations.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for first
half 2000 were $31.2 million or 11.9% of net sales, compared to $30.8 million or
11.3% of net sales, for first half 1999. The increase relates to new product
development initiatives.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $10.3 million for first half 2000
compared to $10.8 million for first half 1999. The decreased interest expense
was due to scheduled principal repayments on existing senior debt.

INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes for first half 2000 was $2.2
million with an effective tax rate of 70.9% compared with an effective rate of
110.3% for first half 1999. The high rates for both periods relate to certain
nondeductible expenses, and the loss of foreign tax credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs,
to meet required debt obligations, and to fund capital expenditures for facility
maintenance and expansion. The Company believes that 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 for the foreseeable future. Potential growth from acquisitions
will be funded from a variety of sources, including cash flow from operations
and additional indebtedness. As of March 26, 2000, the Company had $154.1
million of long-term debt outstanding, $43.6 million of revolving loans and
current maturities of long-term debt outstanding and $18.9 million of borrowing
availability under its revolving credit facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2000 was $11.9
million compared to $11.0 million in the first half of 1999. The increase in
cash provided by operating activities was the result of the sales growth
described above.

Capital expenditures for the first half of 2000 were $5.7 million compared to
$8.2 million for the first half of 1999. The Company believes that its capital
expenditures will be approximately $19.0 million in fiscal year 2000. The
majority of the Company's fiscal 2000 capital expenditures will be used to
facilitate new programs launching in fiscal 2000, and to increase painting
capacity for programs launching in fiscal years 2000 and 2001. However, the
Company's capital expenditures may be greater than currently anticipated as the
result of new business opportunities.



                                       18

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

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not experienced any disruptions
in its operations due to Year 2000 compliance related issues and has been able
to process transactions and engage in normal business activities. No Year 2000
compliance issues have been encountered, or are anticipated, that would have a
material impact on the Company.
