3. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On April 1, 1998 we issued $35.0 million of unsecured 10 1/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007, Series B (the "Series B Notes"). On December 8,
1998, we issued $40.0 million of unsecured 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2007, Series C (the "Series C Notes"). The Series B Notes and Series C Notes are
substantially identical to and rank pari passu in right of payment with the
$125.0 million of unsecured 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 issued by
us on June 24, 1997 (the "Series A Notes"). The Series A Notes, the Series B
Notes and the Series C Notes are collectively referred to as the "Notes". The
Notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. The Notes provide
for certain covenants, including limitations on: indebtedness, restricted
payments, distributions, sale of assets, affiliate transactions and merger and
consolidation. We have optional redemption rights beginning June 15, 2002. The
Notes are limited to $250.0 million aggregate principal amount.

On June 9, 1999 we completed an exchange offer for our outstanding Notes.
Pursuant to the exchange offer, all of the Series C Notes and $159.6 million
aggregate principal amount of the Series A and Series B Notes were exchanged for
our registered 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, Series D, which are
substantially identical to, and rank pari passu in right of payment with the
Notes.



4. ACQUISITION

On June 28, 1999 we acquired, through a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, 100%
of the shares of Gebr. Wackenhut GmbH Karosserie-und Fahrzeugfabrik
("Wackenhut"). Wackenhut is a supplier of complex pressings, welded assemblies,
complete truck cabs, cataphoretic coatings and finish paint applications and
operates three facilities in Germany located in the Nagold area near Stuttgart.
Wackenhut is an unrestricted subsidiary under our debt agreements. Pursuant to
the terms of the acquisition, we agreed to pay DM 1 for the Wackenhut shares,
provide DM 5 million in additional paid in capital, restructure approximately DM
63.4 million in





                                       7

bank debt, and purchase approximately DM 18.6 million in bank and shareholder
debt for DM 1. The acquisition agreement provides for the restructuring of
Wackenhut's credit facilities and provides additional financing of approximately
DM 16.6 million under a line of credit and up to DM 45.0 million to fund capital
expenditures to support plant expansion and modernization. The purchase price
plus direct cost of the acquisition will be allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date of
acquisition. The unaudited financial statements reflect the preliminary
allocation of purchase price, as the allocation has not been finalized.

7. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

The Notes are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries,
including BMG Holdings Inc., Howell Industries, Inc., Lobdell Emery Corporation,
Oxford Suspension, Inc., Oxford Suspension Ltd., and RPI Holdings, Inc. (the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries"). As of June 30, 1999 the Notes were not guaranteed by
our other consolidated subsidiaries, including Oxford Automotive
Europe, Oxford Automotriz de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Oxford Automotive France,
Cofimeta S.A. and Wackenhut (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). As of June 30,
1998 the Notes were not guaranteed by Oxford Automotriz de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
Cofimeta was acquired in February 1999, therefore while they are included in the
consolidated balance sheet ended March 31, 1999, they are excluded from the
reporting for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Wackenhut was acquired
June 28, 1999, therefore they are excluded from the reporting for
the period ended March 31, 1999 and for the three months ending June 30, 1998.


The guarantee of the Notes by the Guarantor Subsidiaries is full and
unconditional, joint and several. The following unaudited condensed consolidated
financial information presents the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of (i) the Company as if it accounted for its subsidiaries on the
equity method, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis and (iii) the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

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

        Three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the three months
                               ended June 30, 1998

Results of Operations

The three months ended June 30, 1999 statement of operations for Oxford
Automotive, Inc.(the "Company") includes the results of operations for
substantially all subsidiaries, including the following principal operating
subsidiaries: BMG North America Limited, Lobdell Emery Corporation ("Lobdell"),
Howell Industries, Inc. ("Howell"), RPI Holdings, Inc. ("RPIH"), Oxford
Suspension, Inc. and Oxford Suspension Ltd. (collectively the "Suspension
Division"), and Cofimeta S.A. ("Cofimeta"). Lobdell was acquired on January 10,
1997, Howell was acquired August 13, 1997, RPIH was acquired on November 25,
1997, the Suspension Division was acquired on April 1, 1998 and Cofimeta was
acquired on February 5, 1999. The company acquired Wackenhut GmbH on June 28,
1999. Each was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Based on
its acquisition date, the three month statement of operations for the period
ended June 30, 1999 does not include operating results for Wackenhut. In
addition, the three month statement of operations for the period ended June 30,
1998 does not include the operating results of Cofimeta or Wackenhut.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain accounts from
the Company's statement of operations and should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
included elsewhere herein.

NET SALES -- Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $206.4
million. This represents an increase of $66.5 million as compared to net sales
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 of $139.9 million. The overall increase
is primarily the result of the acquisitions made since the prior year ($50.4
million). A portion of the increase is due to the negative impact on net sales
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 resulting from the General Motors
strike ($8.7 million). The balance of the increase is a result of the start up
of the Saturn LS program, the Windstar mini-van and the continued production
strength of the industry wide light truck and sport utility vehicle platforms.


                                       18

GROSS PROFIT -- For the three months ended June 30, 1999, gross profit increased
to $21.3 million or 10.3% of net sales as compared to $11.6 million or 8.3% of
net sales for the prior year. The gross profit and gross margin increases are
related to the profit impact of the General Motors sales rebound from the prior
year strike and successful product launches and fixed cost reductions achieved
as a result of plant rationalization. Facility closures, such as the recently
announced Hamilton, Indiana facility provide fixed cost reductions, as well as
productivity increases after product relocation. The gross profit and gross
margin increases also reflect the year over year reduction in launch costs
related to the Windstar program and other productivity improvement efforts, such
as, automation, quick die change and other improvements. Gross profit also
increased on incremental sales resulting from acquisitions.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A") - For the three months
ended June 30, 1999, SG&A expenses were $12.5 million ( 6.1% of net sales), an
increase of $4.7 million as compared to SG&A for the three month period ended
June 30, 1998 of $7.8 million (5.6% of net sales). The increase can be directly
associated to the recent European acquisitions, including the establishment and
staffing of a European technical center. In addition, the continued domestic
support required for upcoming program awards contributed to the increase. We
continue to expand its support of a growing number of worldwide customers.

OPERATING INCOME - For the three months ended June 30, 1999, operating income
increased to $9.3 million or 4.5% of net sales as compared to $3.8 million or
2.7% of net sales for the prior year. The increase is a result of operating
income related to the gross profit increase, due in part to productivity
improvement initiatives, and SG&A variances as explained above as well as
acquisitions made during the period.

INTEREST EXPENSE - For the three months ended June 30, 1999, net interest
expense was $7.1 million, an increase of $2.7 million, as compared to $4.4
million for the same period last year. The increase can be attributed to
the Series C Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 (issued December 8, 1998),
the outstanding debt of acquisitions and the interim financing of customer
tooling for current program launches.

NET INCOME - For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company reported net
income of $1.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to a prior year
net loss of $0.2 million. The increase in earnings was the result of overall
plant profitability initiatives, the General Motors strike sales rebound and net
income generated by acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net income adjusted for non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization and
deferred taxes) generated approximately $7.9 million of cash for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Cash increased by $7.4 million during the period
based on an overall decrease in accounts receivable, inventories, reimbursable
tooling and accounts payable. The increase was offset by an overall decrease
($17.0 million) in accrued expenses, other assets and cash payments related to
restructuring reserves. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company
used approximately $8.2 million for investing activities, including the
acquisition of Wackenhut. These investing activities were supported
substantially by operating cash flows and borrowings under the line of credit.
The cash generated by financing activities was made up primarily of $14.8
million of net proceeds from line of credit borrowings.

At June 30, 1999 we had approximately $119.4 million available under our credit
facility with Bank One on behalf of itself and as agent for a syndicate of other
lenders (the "Senior Credit Facility"). At June 30, 1999, we had $16.0 million
outstanding under the line of credit and $4.6 million in outstanding letters of
credit to support certain Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and workers
compensation commitments.

As of the date of its acquisition, Wackenhut carried indebtedness with a face
value of DM 63.4 million. The debt includes a DM 40.0 million term note and a DM
35.0 million revolving line of credit (DM 23.4 million outstanding at close).
The term note calls for semi-annual principal payments of DM 2.5 million
beginning in March 2004 and has been discounted at a market rate of 10%. For US
GAAP purposes, Wackenhut had outstanding indebtedness of US $24.2 million at
June 30, 1999. We have also secured DM 45.0 million of additional financing to
assist with capital expenditures and future growth. No amounts were outstanding
under the additional financing. This indebtedness is nonrecourse with respect to
the Company.


We believe the application of the proceeds from our 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2007 has enhanced our ability to meet our growth and business
objectives. However, interest payments on the notes will represent a significant
liquidity requirement for us. We will be required to make scheduled semi-annual
interest payments on the notes of approximately $10.1 million on June 15 and
December 15 each year until their maturity on June 15, 2007 or until the notes
are redeemed.




                                       19


<PAGE>   20

Capital expenditures were $9.0 million, or 4.4% of net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $6.2 million or 4.4% of net sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase of $2.8 million was due
primarily to cost reduction and productivity improvement projects and new
customer programs. Other capital expenditures included health and safety items,
computer and network upgrades and Y2K support.

For fiscal 2000, our capital expenditures are expected to be $39.8 million,
consisting of $25.2 million to support new business and increase capacity, $11.0
million for maintenance, rebuilds and improvements and $3.6 million in other
expenditures, including health, safety and environmental.

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available
under the Senior Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable
future, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Our future operating
performance and ability to service or refinance our 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2007 and to extend or refinance our other indebtedness will be subject
to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors that
are beyond our control.

RAMOS ARIZPE - MEXICO FACILITY

On March 31, 1999, we entered into a cross-border asset usage facility through a
wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary for the acquisition of new equipment for and
construction of a new facility being built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. Under U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, this transaction is classified as an
operating lease. The approximately 330,000 sq. ft. facility will support a
General Motors hood, door and underbody assembly program (SUV/ Hybrid vehicle)
slated to begin production in April 2000. The program is expected to generate
approximately $90.0 million of annual sales when in full production. We were
awarded substantially all closure panels and rear underbody components for the
program. Plant rationalization has allowed for the transfer of equipment already
owned to the facility. The lease payments for the facility will be approximately
$5.6 million per year. The award of the program is in line with our expected
growth into Mexico and is seen as key to our future success in that country.


YEAR 2000

We are aware of the potential impact of the millennium change on business. In
response, we have created a Year 2000 project team to perform inventory,
remediation, and testing of possibly affected systems. The Year 2000 project
team is coordinated at the corporate level with support from senior management.
Key individuals at the facility level are executing the Year 2000 efforts. We
have also employed some external Year 2000 contractors to assist with compliance
in some areas. We are following the Year 2000 guidelines set forth by the
Automotive Industry Action Group ("AIAG") and are reporting Year 2000 status
quarterly to the AIAG.

We have broken the Year 2000 program into the following assessment areas:
business computer systems, desktop computing, network infrastructure, voice
systems, shop floor systems, non-information technology items, and
suppliers/business partners. As it relates to the AIAG areas for evaluation, we
do not have dedicated product-testing facilities nor do our products contain any
computer chips. We have completed Year 2000 remediation in North America with
the remainder related to our recent acquisitions in Europe to be finalized by
September 30, 1999. In addition, we are committed to complete Year 2000 testing
by September 30, 1999. We will continue Year 2000 compliance testing throughout
1999 to ensure that regression does not occur.

We have completed a thorough assessment of all manufacturing, administrative and
management software. We have begun to upgrade certain software modules and/or
code to comply with AIAG Year 2000 guidelines and timing. At the same time, we
are implementing new software where compliance through upgrade could not be
achieved in either a timely or cost effective manner. We recently achieved Year
2000 compliance for all of our North American software. We expect to be
completed in Europe by September 30, 1999. Further, we initiated the move to a
common software system as we continue the implementation effort across all
facilities.

We continue to assess the Year 2000 readiness of our external suppliers,
business partners, and service providers to ensure that business associations
will not be negatively impacted by the Year 2000 date. We will use alternate
sourcing and contingency planning in situations that threaten our ability to
deliver products or conduct business. Since these other companies are in various
stages of Year 2000 readiness, we will be monitoring their progress throughout
1999, assessing associated risks, and taking a course of action to ensure
business continuity.



                                       20


<PAGE>   21

In addition to efforts of our internal staff, we are using external resources to
complete the project. The cost of external resources for fiscal 1998 totaled
$0.3 million and the total capital spending for fiscal 1998 was $1.4 million of
which, approximately $0.4 million relates to software projects. In fiscal 1999,
the external costs were $0.4 million, which related to remediation activities
derived from Year 2000 testing, and capital expenditures were $0.5 million. For
the year ending March 31, 2000, the external costs for Europe will approximate
$0.3 million which will relate to any remediation activities derived from Year
2000 testing, and the remaining capital expenditures will approximate $0.5
million.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk
associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We
conservatively manage these risks through the use of derivative financial
instruments in accordance with management's guidelines.

         We enter into all hedging transactions for periods consistent with the
underlying exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading
purposes.

         Foreign Exchange. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to
protect ourselves from adverse currency rate fluctuations on foreign currency
commitments. These commitments are generally for terms of less than one year.
The foreign currency contracts are executed with banks that we believe are
creditworthy and are denominated in currencies of major industrialized
countries. The gains and losses relating to the foreign currency forward and
option contracts are deferred and included in the measurement of the foreign
currency transaction subject to the hedge. We believe that any gain or loss
incurred on foreign currency forward contracts is offset by the direct effects
of currency movements on the underlying transactions.

         We have performed a quantitative analysis of our overall currency rate
exposure at June 30, 1999. Based on this analysis, a 10% change in currency
rates would not have a material effect on our earnings.

         Interest Rates. We generally manage risk associated with interest rate
movements through the use of or combination of variable and fixed rate debt. Our
exposure as a result of variable interest rates relates primarily to outstanding
floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to U.S. or European Monetary
Union short-term money market rates.

         We have performed a quantitative analysis of our overall interest rate
exposure at June 30, 1999. Based on this analysis, a 10% change in the average
cost of our variable rate debt would not have a material effect on our earnings.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements relating to such matters as anticipated
financial performance, business prospects, year 2000 issues and other matters
that may be construed as forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the
Company may from time to time publish or communicate other statements that could
also be construed to be forward-looking statements. These statements are, or
will be, based on the Company's estimates, assumptions and projections, and are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including those specifically listed below,
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the
forward-looking statements.



The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance,
development and results of operations of the Company include the following: (1)
the original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") supplier industry is highly cyclical
and, in large part, impacted by the strength of the economy generally, by
prevailing interest rates and by other factors which may have an effect on the
level of sales of automotive vehicles; (2) future price reductions, increased
quality standards or additional engineering capabilities may be required by the
OEMs, which are able to exert considerable pressure on their suppliers; (3) the
OEMs may decide to in-source some of the work currently performed by the
Company; (4) work stoppages and slowdowns may be experienced by OEMs and their
Tier 1 suppliers, as a result of labor disputes; (5) there may be a significant
decrease in sales of vehicles using the Company's products or the loss by the
Company of the right to supply any of such products to its major customers; (6)
