3.   ACQUISITIONS

     In February, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Print
Service Holding N.V., the holding company parent of Mommers Print Service B.V.
("Mommers"), a 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 approximately $20,000 of 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.

     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 approximately $42,000 of 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 an additional $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. A portion of the funds raised during the three months ended March
31, 1998, were also used to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Revolvers
(see Note 4).

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 first
fiscal quarter of 1997 has been translated at an exchange rate of Swedish Krona
("SEK") 7.559=U.S.$1.00 for the Ericsson facility, of Dutch Guilders ("NGL")
1.886=U.S.$1.00 for Mommers and of Italian Lira ("ITL") 1,676=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 7.9491=U.S.$1.00, NGL 2.0825=U.S.$1.00, and ITL 1,821=U.S.$1.00,
respectively. These exchange rates represent the rates in effect at March 31,
1997 and 1998, respectively, which are not materially different from the average

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,

adjustments.

6.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     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 does not
expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

     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.

     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.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Accounting convention

     The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United
Kingdom accounting standards.

     Condensed Consolidated Financial Data

     The condensed consolidated financial statements for the months ended April

(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations have been included.

                     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
printed circuit boards in general and demands for different technologies of
printed circuit boards 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 discussion of the results of operations of Forward and ISL
has 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 March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $242.5 million,
representing a $122.6 million, or 102.3% increase from the comparable period in
1997. The increase is due primarily to the acquisitions of Forward and ISL
completed in the second quarter of 1997 and the acquisitions of the Ericsson
facility, Mommers and Zincocelere completed in the first quarter of 1998. 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 March 31, 1998 was $177.7
million, or 73.3% of sales compared to $90.1 million, or 75.1% of sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales
decreased to 73.3% from 75.1% primarily due to improved pricing on raw materials
purchases yielded by the purchasing power of the Company after the acquisitions
of the separate entities.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 increased by $16.5 million, or 147.3%, versus the comparable
period in 1997. These costs increased from the first quarter of 1997, primarily
due to the acquisitions, the implementation of the Company's redesigned
path-to-market, or sales and marketing approach and planned increases in general
and administrative expenses at our Richmond facility as a part of the required
separation from the Lucent Technologies' systems.

     Other expense increased $19.6 million, from $5.9 million in the first
fiscal quarter of 1997 to $25.5 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.

     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 three months ended March 31, 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.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, net cash used in operating
activities was $39.8 million. For the same period the Company used approximately
$178.5 million in investing activities primarily for acquisitions of the
Ericsson facility, Mommers and Zincocelere. The acquisitions of Mommers and
Zincocelere were funded primarily through the proceeds from the offering of an
additional $100.0 million of 9 3/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007
(the "1998 Offering"), an equity contribution of $50.0 million and additional
term loan borrowings of $70.0 million. A portion of the funds raised during the
three months ended March 31, 1998, were also used to repay indebtedness
outstanding under the Revolvers. The acquisition of the Ericsson facility was
funded from cash provided by operations.
