3.   ACQUISITIONS

     In February 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Print
Service Holding N.V., the parent holding company of Mommers Print Service B.V.
("Mommers"), a printed circuit board ("PCB") manufacturer located in The
Netherlands and specializing in the production of high-volume, medium to
high-complexity PCBs and backplanes, for a cash purchase price of approximately
$59,399, plus assumed obligations. Accordingly, the results of operations of
Mommers since its acquisition are included in the results of operations of the
Company.

     The Mommers acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting whereby the total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to
the assets and liabilities based on their estimated respective fair values. The
Company has allocated a portion of the purchase price, as described below, to
intangible assets, including in-process research and development ("in-process
R&D"). The portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process R&D projects
that did not have a future alternative use totaled $20,000 and was charged to
expense as of the acquisition date. The other acquired intangibles include
developed technologies, assembled workforce, and customer list. These
intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 1-15 years.
The remaining unidentified intangible asset has been allocated to goodwill and
is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 20 years.

     The total purchase price including fees and expenses has been preliminarily
allocated to the acquired net assets as follows:

                                                  ========
</TABLE>

     In March 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
Zincocelere S.p.A. ("Zincocelere"), a PCB manufacturer located in northern Italy
and specializing in the production of high-volume medium- to high-complexity
PCBs, for a cash purchase price of approximately $85,012, plus assumed
obligations.

     The Zincocelere acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting whereby the total purchase price has been preliminarily
allocated to the assets and liabilities based on their estimated respective fair
values. The Company has allocated a portion of the purchase price, as described
below, to intangible assets, including in-process R&D. The portion of the
purchase price allocated to in-process R&D projects that did not have a future
alternative use totaled $42,000 and was charged to expense as of the acquisition
date. The other acquired intangibles include developed technologies, assembled
workforce, and customer list. These intangibles are being amortized over their
estimated useful lives of 1-15 years. The remaining unidentified intangible
asset has been allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over its estimated
useful life of 20 years.

     The Mommers and Zincocelere acquisitions were funded by a February 1998
offering of $100,000 of 9 3/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (see
Note 4), a $70,000 term loan and an additional equity contribution of $50,000.

     The intangible assets acquired are being amortized using systematic methods
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

     Included below is unaudited pro forma financial data setting forth
condensed results of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1998, as though the acquisition of a PCB production facility from
Ericsson Telecom AB ("Ericsson"), the Mommers and Zincocelere Acquisitions and
the related financings and equity contribution had occurred at January 1, 1997
and January 1, 1998, respectively. In preparing this data, the financial data of
the Ericsson facility, Mommers and Zincocelere for the six months ended June 30,
1997 has been translated at an exchange rate of Swedish Krona ("SEK")
7.730=U.S.$1.00 for the Ericsson facility, of Dutch Guilders ("NGL")
1.9613=U.S.$1.00 for Mommers and of Italian Lira ("ITL") 1,699.9=U.S.$1.00 for
Zincocelere. The financial data for the Ericsson facility, Mommers and
Zincocelere for January and February, 1998 has been translated at exchange rates
of SEK 8.0011=U.S.$1.00, NGL 2.0466=U.S.$1.00, and ITL 1,787=U.S.$1.00,
respectively. These exchange rates represent the rates in effect at June 30,
1997 and February 28, 1998, respectively, which are not materially different
from the average exchange rates for the respective periods.

4.   LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

     On February 9, 1998, the Company completed the offering of $100,000
principal amount of 9 3/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the
"1998 Offering") receiving net proceeds of $104,500. As a condition of the 1998
Offering, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") was amended to, among other things, establish an additional $70,000
term loan and increase the U.S. Revolving Loan by $25,000. Additionally, Hicks,
Muse, Tate & Furst, Equity Fund III, L.P. and Affiliates contributed $50,000 of
equity to the Company.

     On April 24, 1998, the holders of the Chips Loan Notes redeemed $152,188 of
the Chips Loan Notes. As such, $118,250 of cash held by Bisto Funding, Inc. (a
sister company of Viasystems, Inc.) was paid to the holders of the Chips Loan
Notes. The remaining $33,938 was paid to the holders of the Chips Loan Notes by
the Company. The Company borrowed $33,938 of the available Chips Term Loan to
fund its portion of the payment of the Chips Loan Notes.

5.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and disclosure
of comprehensive income (loss) and its components. Effective January 1, 1998,
the Company adopted SFAS No. 130. For the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
1998, comprehensive loss was $(297,081) and $(14,022), respectively. For the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, comprehensive loss was $(299,431) and
$(85,427), respectively. The Company's other comprehensive income/loss consists
solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

<PAGE>   10

6.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the SFAS adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value and
that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for
qualifying hedges allow a derivative's gains and losses to offset related
results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company
must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of
adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated financial statements nor has it
determined the timing or method of its adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS
No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

     In April 1998, the FASB adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998. The Company will adopt SOP 98-5 in fiscal year 1999 and will report
the write off of the net book value of start-up costs as of January 1, 1999, as
a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

     In February 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employer's Disclosure
about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits," which establishes reporting
requirements related to a business' pension and other post retirement benefits.
SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
and does not apply to interim financial statements in the year of adoption. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 132 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The
Company does not expect SFAS No. 132 to have a significant impact on its
consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

     In June 1997, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes reporting requirements
related to a business' operating segments, products and services, geographic
areas of operations and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, and does not apply to interim financial
statements in the year of adoption. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 131 to
have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and the
related disclosures.

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

GENERAL

    The discussion included herein of the Company represents the results of
operations of Viasystems, Inc. and its subsidiaries subsequent to the capital
contribution by Group and of Group and its subsidiaries prior to the capital
contribution of such subsidiaries to Viasystems, Inc.

    Each of Group, Circo Craft, Viasystems Technologies, Forward Group, PLC
("Forward") and Interconnection Systems (Holdings) Limited ("ISL") are
predecessors to Viasystems, Inc. A discussion of the results of operations for
Forward and ISL follows the discussion below relating to the Company. The
separate results of Forward and ISL are impacted by a number of factors
including target markets, customers, and local economics. Differing demand for
PCBs in general and demands for different technologies of PCBs may not be
consistent for each of the predecessor entities acquired. The Company believes
that the combination of the predecessor entities will provide it with a
significant advantage in managing its operations to meet demand. The discussions
of the results of operations the Company, Forward and ISL have been prepared
based upon the results of each separate entity in accordance with the local GAAP
of the entity and should be read in conjunction with unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Viasystems, Inc.,
Forward, and ISL, all of which are included elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE COMPANY

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

     Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998, were $261.9 million,
representing a $35.1 million, or 15.5% increase from the comparable period in
1997. The increase is due primarily to the acquisitions of Forward and ISL
completed during the second quarter of 1997 and the acquisitions of the
Ericsson facility, Mommers and Zincocelere completed in the first quarter of
1998 partially offset by typical, industry-wide pricing pressures as well as
the negative impact of the stronger U.K. pound as it relates to continental
European currencies. The acquisitions of Forward, ISL, the Ericsson facility,
Mommers and Zincocelere are collectively herein referred to as the
Acquisitions.

     Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $189.7
million, or 72.4% of sales compared to $163.8 million, or 72.2% of sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales
remained relatively constant year over year as cost containment offset the
above mentioned price reductions experienced by the Company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, increased by $7.3 million versus the comparable period in 1997.
These costs increased primarily due to the Acquisitions, the implementation of
the Company's sales and marketing plan and planned increases in administrative
expenses at the Company's Richmond facility related to the separation from
Lucent Technologies.

     Other expense increased $6.8 million, from $19.1 million in the second
quarter of 1997 to $25.9 million in the same period of 1998, due primarily to
increased interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related
to the debt financing incurred to fund the Acquisitions.

                                       16
<PAGE>   18

     During the first half of 1997, the Company recorded a one-time non-cash
write-off of $294.5 million related to in-process research and development
acquired in the acquisitions of Forward and ISL.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

     Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $504.3 million,
representing a $157.6 million, or 45.5% increase from the comparable period in
1997. The increase is due primarily to the Acquisitions partially offset by
typical, industry-wide pricing pressures as well as the negative impact of the 
stronger U.K. pound as it relates to continental European currencies.

     Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $367.4
million, or 72.9% of sales compared to $253.9 million, or 73.2% of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales
decreased primarily due to the success of cost containment activities in excess
of the above mentioned price reductions experienced by the Company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1998, increased by $23.8 million versus the comparable period in 1997. These
costs increased primarily due to the Acquisitions, the implementation of the
Company's sales and marketing plan, and planned increases in administrative
expenses at the Company's Richmond facility related to the separation from
Lucent Technologies.

     Other expense increased $26.5 million, from $25.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 to $51.5 million in the same period of 1998, due
primarily to increased interest expense and amortization of deferred financing
costs related to the debt financing incurred to fund the Acquisitions.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $19.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the impact to depreciation of
acquired fixed assets and to amortization of acquired intangibles from the
acquisitions of Forward and ISL in the second quarter of 1997 and of Mommers and
Zincocelere in the first quarter of 1998.

     During the first half of 1997, the Company recorded a one-time non-cash
write-off of $294.5 million related to in-process research and development
acquired in the acquisitions of Forward and ISL. During the first half of 1998,
the Company recorded a similar charge of $62.0 million related to the
acquisitions of Mommers and Zincocelere.

     The Company believes that the operating results of Viasystems are not
comparable to the operating results expected to be achieved in the future due
to, among other things, the Acquisitions and the completed debt and equity
offerings in the first fiscal quarter of 1998. The Company believes that, due to
the Acquisitions, sales in subsequent periods will increase from that reported
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

FORWARD

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were (pound)25.3
million and cost of goods sold were (pound)18.9 million, or 74.9% of net sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the same period were (pound)2.3
million, or 9.0% of net sales.

ISL

Three Months Ended April 4, 1997

     Net sales for the three months ended April 4, 1997 were (pound)38.3 million
and cost of goods sold were (pound)28.8 million, or 75.4% of net sales. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the same period were (pound)1.9 million,
or 5.0% of net sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal liquidity requirements will be for debt service
requirements, working capital needs and capital expenditures. In addition, the
potential for acquisitions of other businesses by the Company in the future
likely may require external sources of debt and/or equity financing.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $33.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$22.1 million for the same period in 1997. The decrease in net cash provided by
operating activities relates primarily to increases in cash paid for interest
and taxes during 1998 and timing of receipts from a major customer.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $202.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to $198.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of
1998 included $145.5 related to the acquisitions of the Ericsson facility,
Mommers and Zincocelere and the remainder related to capital expenditures. In
1997, net cash used in investing activities included $155.9 million related to
the Forward and ISL acquisitions with the remainder related to capital
expenditures.

     During 1998, the acquisitions of Mommers and Zincocelere were funded
primarily through the proceeds from the offering of $100.0 million principal
amount of 9 3/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, an equity
contribution of $50.0 million and additional term loan borrowings of $70.0
million. The acquisition of the Ericsson facility was funded from cash provided
by operations. During 1997, the Company used the proceeds from an offering of
$400.0 million of 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 and an equity
contribution of approximately $60.0 million to purchase Forward and ISL, to
repay amounts outstanding under the Term Facilities and to pay financing costs.
