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 of 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 adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at July 31, 1998 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended
July 31, 1998 in Form 10-K.

3.   Comprehensive Income

In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard
requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from
operations. Comprehensive income includes certain items that historically have
been excluded from the calculation of net income. The Company's other
comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on the translation
of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations. Comprehensive income
was $8,760 and $6,176 for the three-month period ending April 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and $19,906 and $8,452 for the nine-month period ending April
30,1999 and 1998, respectively.

5.   Acquisitions

On November 13, 1998, Reman Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased 100% of the Common Stock of Williams Technologies, Inc.
("Williams") from The W.W. Williams Company for approximately $38,800 in cash,
less Williams' intercompany and third-party debt and including working capital
and other adjustments. The purchase was funded through proceeds from the
Company's Senior Credit Facility. The acquisition was treated as a purchase for
accounting purposes and resulted in goodwill of approximately $17,600 which is
being amortized over 35 years. Results of operations for Williams are included
in the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Williams is
a remanufacturer of automatic transmissions and torque converters for automotive
and medium and heavy duty truck applications. Its primary market is the dealer
network of major North American and foreign original equipment vehicle
manufacturers. The Company does not currently anticipate any significant changes
in the operation of the business of Williams.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the nine months
ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, assuming the acquisition of Williams had been
consummated on the first day of each period and that the acquisition of
Ballantrae on December 22, 1997 had been consummated on August 1, 1997, are as
follows:

The pro forma consolidated financial information does not purport to present
what the Company's consolidated results of operations would actually have been
if the acquisitions had occurred on the dates indicated and is not intended to
project future results of operations.

On April 30, 1999, Delco Remy Hungary Rt., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, acquired certain assets of EFEL, an automotive parts manufacturer in
Torino, Italy. Proforma consolidated results are not presented for this
acquisition because the effect on the Company is not material.

6.   Senior Credit Facility

On November 13, 1998, the Company amended its Senior Credit Facility. Pursuant
to the Senior Credit Facility, as amended, revolving loans are available in the
aggregate principal amount of $300 million for general purposes (including
acquisitions). The Company has the option of paying an interest rate of one
bank's prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. The Senior Credit Facility contains
various covenants which include, among other things: (i) limitations on
additional borrowings and encumbrances; (ii) the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and compliance with certain financial tests and limitations;
(iii) limitations on cash dividends paid; (iv) limitations on investments and
capital expenditures; and (v) limitations on leases and sales of assets. The
Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by a lien on substantially all assets
of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and by all the capital stock of
such subsidiaries held by the Company or any such other subsidiary. The Senior
Credit Facility terminates on October 31, 2003.

7.   Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries

The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through subsidiaries.
The Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries
(the Subsidiary Guarantors). Certain of the Company's subsidiaries do not
guarantee the Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes (the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries). The claims of creditors of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have
priority over the rights of the Company to receive dividends or distributions
from such subsidiaries.

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries at April
30, 1999 and July 31, 1998 and for the three month and nine month periods ended
April 30, 1999 and 1998.

The equity method has been used by the Company with respect to investments in
subsidiaries. The equity method has been used by Subsidiary Guarantors with
respect to investments in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial
statements for Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented based on management's
determination that they do not provide additional information that is material
to investors.

Subsidiaries:

Three Months Ended April 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1998

     Net Sales Net sales were $248.8 million for the three months ended April
30, 1999, an increase of $31.7 million, or 14.6%, from $217.1 million for the
comparable period of 1998. This increase was due to growth in the Company's
aftermarket business, including the effect of the acquisitions of Williams
(November 1998), Electro Diesel Rebuild (July 1998) and Lucas Varity's
electrical remanufacturing operations (April 1998). Growth in aftermarket sales
also reflected stronger market demand and the addition of new customers and
distribution. OEM sales improved due to stronger automotive and heavy duty
demand.

     Gross Profit Gross profit was $52.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 compared to $44.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, an increase
of $7.8 million, or 17.4%. This growth reflects the acquisitions and volume
increases discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit improved
to 21.1% from 20.6% due to sales growth, a higher mix of aftermarket sales
(which generate higher margins) and improved productivity and quality.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     Selling, Engineering and Administrative Expenses  Selling, engineering, and
administrative (SE&A) expenses of $28.2 million were up $2.9 million, or 11.3%,
from $25.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1998 and, as a percentage
of sales, were 11.3% versus 11.7%. The effect of the above mentioned
acquisitions was more than offset by continued emphasis on overall cost control.

     Operating Income  Operating income was $24.4 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1999, an increase of $4.9 million, or 25.3%, from the third
quarter of fiscal 1998. Operating income margin expanded from 9.0% in 1998 to
9.8% in 1999, reflecting the sales, gross profit and SE&A expense issues
discussed above.

     Interest Expense  Interest expense of $12.7 million in the third quarter
was up $2.9 million compared to $9.7 million in the third quarter last year due
to increased utilization of the Senior Credit Facility to fund acquisitions and
business growth.

     Income Taxes  Income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 1999 were
$4.6 million compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The
Company's consolidated effective income tax rate varies between 39% and 42%
based on income levels and other factors involving the states and countries in
which the Company does business.

     Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures  Income from unconsolidated joint
ventures of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1999 increased $1.0 million
from the third quarter of 1998. Earnings in both years were generated primarily
by the Company's investment in a Korean automotive parts manufacturer, which
began operations in fiscal 1998.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended April 30, 1998

     Net Sales  Net sales of $703.9 million in the first three quarters of
fiscal 1999 were up $84.6 million, or 13.7%, compared with the first three
quarters of fiscal 1998. This increase was driven by the acquisitions discussed
above, the acquisition of Ballantrae in December 1997, strong market demand, new
customers and distribution in the aftermarket and increased demand in the
automotive and heavy duty OEM markets.

     Gross Profit  Gross profit of $141.0 million increased $18.9 million, or
15.5%, from the first nine months of fiscal 1998 due to acquisitions and sales
volume growth. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit improved from 19.7% to
20.0% in 1999 due to the higher mix of aftermarket sales and improved
productivity.

     Selling, Engineering and Administrative Expenses  SE&A expenses of $77.3
million were up $9.4 million, or 13.8%, from $67.9 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 and, as a percentage of sales, were 11.0% in both years.
The effect of acquisitions was offset by continued emphasis on overall cost
control.

      Operating Income  Operating income was $63.7 million in the first
three quarters of fiscal 1999, an increase of $9.5 million, or 17.6%, from the
comparable period of fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net sales, operating income
was 9.1% in 1999 versus 8.8% in 1998, as the growth in sales and gross profit
was partially offset by the increase in SE&A expense.

      Interest Expense  Interest expense of $34.4 million was up $4.0 million,
or 13.0%, compared to $30.4 million in the first three quarters last year. The
Company's weighted average interest rate declined year over year as funds
generated from the initial public offering in December 1997 were used to repay
higher interest rate debt. This was more than offset by increased utilization of
the Senior Credit Facility since the refinancing to fund acquisitions and
business growth.

<PAGE>

     Income Taxes  Income taxes for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 were
$11.5 million compared to $9.8 million in 1998.

     Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures  Income from unconsolidated joint
ventures of $3.8 million in the first three quarters of 1999 increased $2.6
million from the comparable period of 1998 and, in both years, were generated
primarily by the Company's investment in a Korean automotive parts manufacturer,
which began operations in fiscal 1998.

     Non-recurring Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock Conversion   In December
1997, redeemable exchangeable preferred stock was exchanged for the 8%
Subordinated Debenture over the carrying value of the redeemable exchangeable
preferred stock of subsidiary resulting in a non-recurring deemed dividend of
$1.6 million.

     Write Off of Debt Issuance Cost   In December 1997, certain debt was
retired out of the proceeds from the senior notes and initial public offering.
Unamortized issuance costs, net of income taxes, of $1.8 million relating to the
retired debt was written off in the nine month period ended April 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's liquidity needs include required debt service, working
capital needs and the funding of capital expenditures and acquisitions. The
Company does not currently have any significant maturities of long-term debt
prior to 2006 other than the Senior Credit Facility and the 8% Subordinated
Debenture.

     Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal
1999 of $8.3 million compares with cash used of $13.6 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1998. Increased earnings, excluding non-cash charges, smaller
increases in accounts receivable and inventories and a larger increase in
accounts payable were partially offset by higher cash restructuring payments and
increases in other current assets. During the third quarter, the company
generated sufficient cash from operations and cash balances to pay down $11.9
million of the balance on the Senior Credit Facility.

     Cash used in investing activities of $60.1 million in the first three
quarters of 1999 was $5.0 million higher than cash used in the comparable period
of fiscal 1998 due to cash payments for acquisitions. The Company's capital
expenditures were $18.0 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1999. The
Company is forecasting capital expenditures of approximately $7.0 million for
the remainder of fiscal year 1999. Capital expenditures consist of production
equipment for the Company's new focus factories and investments in cost
reduction programs, including upgrades in machinery technology, new quality
standards and environmental compliance.

     Cash provided by financing activities of $51.8 million in the first nine
months of 1999, consisting primarily of borrowing under the Senior Credit
Facility, was down from $69.0 million provided in the first nine months of
1998.The Company's initial public offering of 4.6 million shares of Class A
Common Stock in December 1997 and January 1998 generated net proceeds of $51.3
million. The Company also issued 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes with net
proceeds of $141.4 million in December 1997. These proceeds were used to pay off
debt with higher interest rates and less favorable terms. On April 30, 1999 the
debt to total capitalization of the Company was 79% as compared to 78% on April
30, 1998.

       The Company's principal sources of cash to fund its liquidity needs
consist of net cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility. As discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company amended its Senior Credit Facility on November 13, 1998.
As a result of this amendment, revolving loans are now available in the
aggregate principal amount of $300 million. As of April 30, 1999, approximately
$169.6 million remained available.

       Cash interest expense for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 was $33.2
million. Non-cash interest accrued during the nine months ended April 30, 1999
was $1.2 million, or 3.5% of total interest expense.

                                       19

     The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with the
amounts available under the Senior Credit Facility, will be adequate to meet its
debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for
the foreseeable future, although no assurance can be given in this regard. The
Company's future operating performance and ability to service, extend, or
refinance its indebtedness will be subject to future economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.

Seasonality

     The Company's business is moderately seasonal, as its major OEM customers
historically have one- to two-week summer shutdowns of operations during the
fourth fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company typically has shut down its own
operations for one week each July, depending on backlog, scheduled maintenance
and inventory buffers, as well as an additional week during the December
holidays. Consequently, the Company's second and fourth quarter results reflect
the effects of these shutdowns.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

     Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify years.
These programs were designed without consideration for the affect of the
upcoming change in century, and if not corrected, could fail or create erroneous
results by, at or beyond the year 2000. Essentially all the Company's
information technology based systems, as well as many non-information technology
based systems are affected by the "Year 2000" issue. Technology based systems
reside on mainframes, servers and personal computers in the U.S. and in the
foreign countries where the Company has operations. Specific systems include
accounting, payroll, financial reporting, product development, inventory
tracking and control, business planning, tax, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, purchasing, distribution and numerous word processing applications.
Non-information technology based systems include equipment and services
containing imbedded microprocessors, such as clocks, security systems and
building management systems. All of the Company's businesses have relationships
with numerous third parties, including material suppliers, utility companies,
transportation companies, banks and brokerage firms, that may be affected by the
Year 2000 issue.

     Remediation plans have been established for all mission critical systems
potentially affected by the Year 2000 issue. The primary phases and current
status of the plans for internal systems are summarized as follows:

       Enterprise awareness and planning. This phase involved the establishment
       of project teams and plans for each subsidiary and joint venture. This
       phase has been completed for all subsidiaries and the Company is in the
       process of determining the status of the joint ventures.

       Inventory of all hardware and software. This phase has been completed.

       Impact analysis/assessment. This phase has been completed.

       Planning and scheduling. Plans have been implemented for all of mission
       critical applications.

       Conversion.  The organizations are at varying points in their conversion
       process. 85% of the mission critical applications have been converted.
       The remaining 15% are expected to be converted by September 1999.

       Testing. Each system is tested based on the specific requirements. These
       are included as part of the overall project plans.

       Implementation. Each system within the organization is at a different
       point. 85% of the mission critical applications have been implemented.
       The remaining 15% are expected to be implemented by September 1999.

     Assessment of the Company's third-party risk involves the identification of
critical vendors, Year 2000 confirmation correspondence, evaluations and
selected vendor reviews. Remediation plans are being developed for identified
areas of third party risk.


                                       20
<PAGE>

     The Company is in the process of determining the risks it would face in the
event certain aspects of its Year 2000 remediation plan fail. It is also
developing contingency plans for all mission-critical processes. Under a "worst
case" scenario, the Company's manufacturing operations would be unable to build
and deliver product due to internal system failures and/or the inability of
vendors to deliver raw materials and components. While virtually all internal
systems can be replaced with manual systems on a temporary basis, the failure of
any mission-critical system will have at least a short-term negative affect on
operations. The failure of national and worldwide banking systems could result
in the inability of many businesses, including the Company, to conduct business.
Risk assessment and contingency plans are expected to be completed by July 1999.

     The total cost to the Company of achieving Year 2000 compliance is not
expected to exceed $2.0 million, including the cost of both internal and
external resources. Spending to date totals approximately $1.2 million.

     While the Company believes that the estimated cost of becoming Year 2000
compliant will not be significant to its results of operations, failure to
complete all work in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations. While the Company expects all planned work to
be completed, it cannot guarantee that all systems will be in compliance by the
year 2000, that the systems of suppliers and other third parties on which the
Company relies will be converted in a timely manner or that the Year 2000
contengency planning will be able to fully address all potential interruptions.
Therefore, date-related issues could cause delays in the Company's ability to
produce or ship products, process transactions or otherwise conduct business in
any of the Company's markets.

Foreign Sales

     Approximately 24% of the Company's sales are derived from sales made to
customers in foreign countries. Because of these foreign sales, the Company's
business is subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including currency
exchange rate fluctuations, limits on repatriation of funds, compliance with
foreign laws and other economic and political uncertainties.
