Note 5 - Contingencies

     A chemical cleaning compound, trichlorethylene ("TCE"), has been
found in the soil and groundwater on the Company's property in
Elkhart, Indiana, and in 1981, TCE was found in a well field of the
                                 - 5 -
<PAGE>
City of Elkhart in close proximity to the Company's facility.  The
Company has been named as one of nine potentially responsible parties
(PRPs) in the contamination of this site.

     The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) have conducted a
preliminary investigation and evaluation of the site and have
undertaken temporary remedial action in the nature of air-stripping
towers. 

     In early 1992, the EPA issued a Unilateral Order under Section
106 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act which required the Company and other PRPs to undertake
remedial work.  The Company and the other PRPs have reached an
agreement regarding the funding of groundwater monitoring and the
operation of the air-strippers as required by the Unilateral Order. 
The Company was required to install and operate a soil vapor
extraction system to remove TCE from the Company's property.  As of
February 1, 1994, the Company has installed and is operating the
equipment pursuant to the Unilateral Order.  In addition, the EPA and
IDEM have asserted a claim for reimbursement of their investigatory
costs and the costs of installing and operating the air-strippers on
the municipal well field (the EPA Costs).  On February 22, 1993, the
United States filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Indiana against eight of the PRPs, including
the Company.  On July 20, 1993, IDEM joined in the lawsuit.  The
lawsuit seeks recovery of the costs of enforcement, prejudgment
interest and an amount in excess of $6.8 million, which represents
costs incurred to date by the EPA and IDEM, and a declaration that the
eight defendant PRPs are liable for any future costs incurred by the
EPA and IDEM in connection with the site.

     The Company does not believe the annual cost to the Company of
monitoring groundwater and operating the soil vapor extraction system
and the air-strippers will be material.  Each of the PRPs, including
the Company, is jointly and severally liable for the entire amount of
the EPA Costs.  Certain PRPs, including the Company, are currently
attempting to negotiate an agreed upon allocation of such liability. 
The Company believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for
its costs and its anticipated share of EPA Costs and that its cash on
hand, unused lines of credit or cash from operations are sufficient to
fund any required expenditures.

     The EPA has also named the Company as a PRP for costs at three
other disposal sites.  The Company believes it has recorded adequate
provisions for any costs to be incurred for these sites.

     There are claims and pending legal proceedings against the
Company and its subsidiaries with respect to taxes, workers'
compensation, warranties and other matters arising out of the ordinary
conduct of the business.  The ultimate result of these claims and
proceedings at September 30, 1994 is not determinable, but, in the
opinion of management, adequate provision for anticipated costs has
been made or insurance coverage exists to cover such costs.

Note 6 - Share Ownership

     On March 24, 1994, Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund
disposed of their combined 24% ownership in the Company through a
secondary public offering.

Note 7 - Common Shares

     On May 5, 1994, the shareholders approved a new 1994 Stock
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan reserves 500,000 common
shares for issuance to officers, other key employees and non-employee
directors.  The Plan provides that options may be granted at not less
than fair market value and if not exercised, expire 10 years from the
date of grant.  At September 30, 1994, there were options outstanding
for 274,000 shares at an average exercise price of $18.125.

     At September 30, 1994, there were options outstanding for 15,750
shares at an average exercise price of $6.364 under the Incentive
Stock Option Plan approved by shareholders in 1984.

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


Material Changes in Financial Condition:

Cash flow from operations totalled $25.6 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.  Investment in receivables and inventories
increased $27.0 million due to higher sales levels.  This increase was
partially offset by an increase of $24.7 million in trade accounts
payable and accruals.  Capital expenditures in the first nine months
totalled $19.3 million and dividends paid and treasury shares
purchased totalled $5.7 million.

The Company received $7.2 million from the sale of common shares in
connection with the sale of shares by Ford.  Cash and short-term
marketable securities amounted to $50.0 million at September 30, 1994,
an increase of $3.4 million from December 31, 1993.

Material Changes in Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 1993

Sales in the third quarter of 1994 increased 25% or $29.2 million to
$144.1 million from the $114.9 million in 1993.  The increased sales
occurred primarily in automotive original equipment products. 
Production of light vehicles in North America was up 15% in the
quarter and sales from new programs including roll-up glass for Ford
Motor Company's F-series trucks, Explorer, Econoline and Mustang
account for the majority of the increase.

Gross profit was $12.8 million in the current quarter or 8.9% of sales
and compares with gross profit of $10.0 million or 8.7% of sales in
1993's third quarter.  The increase in gross profit percentage and
dollars results from higher sales volumes which more than offset the
start-up costs on new products and productivity commitments under
long-term contracts.

Selling, administrative and engineering expenses totalled $7.9 million
in the third quarter up from $7.1 million in the 1993 third quarter. 
The change includes increased personnel costs for research,
engineering and development and an increase in incentive compensation.

Interest expense totalled $875,000 in 1994 which compares to $824,000
in the year ago third quarter.

Other income of $581,000 consists primarily of interest income on
marketable securities, which compares to other income of $614,000 in
the 1993 third quarter.

Provision for taxes on income was at an effective rate of 37% as
compared to 39% in 1993.  The decline in the overall effective rate
results from reduction in effective state income tax rates.

Material Changes in Results of Operations:
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1993

Sales in the first nine months of 1994 increased 20% or $76.7 million
to $457.8 as compared to $381.1 million in 1993.  Sales of automotive
original equipment accounts for $68 million of the increase while
sales to mass transit, RV and heavy trucks account for the remainder. 
Light vehicle production in the first nine months of 1994 totaled 11.1
million units as compared with 9.8 million units in 1993 or an
increase of 13%.  Automotive sales increased overall approximately 20%
resulting from increased production and sales of new programs such as
Dodge Ram trucks and Ford Motor Company's F-series trucks, Explorer,
and Mustang.

Gross profit was $46.5 million year-to-date in 1994 or 10.2% of sales
compared to $40.4 million or 10.6% of sales in the first nine months
of 1993.  The decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales results
from a shortfall of cost reductions to offset productivity commitments
under long-term sales contracts, an increase in roll-up glass sales on
new programs which carry lower value added and start-up costs
associated with new programs.

Selling, administrative and engineering expenses totalled $23.9
million in the first nine months which was comparable with the $23.4
million in the 1993 first nine months.  Offsetting a reduction in the
provision for doubtful accounts and deferred compensation costs were
increased personnel costs for research, engineering and development
and increased depreciation for engineering computer equipment.

Interest expense totalled $2,558,000 in 1994 and compares with
$2,575,000 in the year ago period.

Other income of $1,247,000 consists primarily of interest income on
marketable securities less $200,000 for Excel's share of operating
losses arising from production startup costs in the Brazilian joint
ventures.  This compares to other income of $1,378,000 in the 1993
period.

Provision for taxes on income was at an effective rate of 37% as
compared to 39.5% in 1993.  The decline in the overall effective rate
results from reduction in effective state rates.
