NOTE A---BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated 
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 
instructions to Form 10-A 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 accruals) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  
Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1995 
should not be considered indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the year ended June 29, 1996.  The combined 
consolidated balance sheet at July 1, 1995 has been taken from 
the audited consolidated financial statements and condensed.  The 
accompanying condensed combined consolidated financial statements 
and footnotes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 
1995.

The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending the 
Saturday closest to June 30th.  Accordingly, each quarter ends on 
the Saturday closest to quarter end.  Both the quarters ended 
September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 included 13 weeks.

ITEM 2.	
              DONNELLY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       1ST QUARTER REPORT
          FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

GENERAL

The Company's net sales and net income are subject to significant 
quarterly fluctuations attributable primarily to production 
schedules of the Company's major automotive customers.  These 
same factors cause quarterly results to fluctuate from year to 
year, as well as from quarter to quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales were $90.5 million in the first quarter of 
1996, an increase of  more than 4% over the first quarter of 
1995.  The increase was primarily the result of new modular 
window business at Chrysler and Ford and stronger sales at the 
Company's Irish subsidiary.  The increase in sales was offset by 
the loss of the Saturn business at D&A Technology, Inc., the 
Company's joint venture with Asahi Glass Company.  This business 
represented approximately 5% of the Company's combined 
consolidated net sales in 1995.  On September 22, 1995, the 
Company completed the purchase of Asahi's 40% interest in D&A.  
The operation has been reduced in size and is being maintained as 
a division of the Company in Tennessee.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1996 was 15.1%  
compared to 20.9% for the first quarter of 1995. The Company's 
gross profit margin was negatively affected by the simultaneous 
start-up of three major new business programs which will 
ultimately result in over $100 million in new business for the 
Company annually.  Two of the start-up programs are for major new 
window systems and the third is for a sophisticated new 
automotive painting process which will be used to produce 
products for several new customers. The Company expects its gross 
profit margin as a percent of sales to improve significantly 
compared to the first quarter as the start-up problems with these 
programs are resolved.  Although global pricing pressures are 
expected to continue, the Company is focused on reducing costs 
through improved product design as well as a strong commitment to 
continuous improvement implementation throughout the Company.

Selling, administration and general expenses in the first quarter 
were at 11.2% of sales, down from 13.4% in the same period last 
year.  These expenses were lower from the previous year due to 
the restructuring of certain non-automotive business in 1995 and 
the Company's commitment to leverage these expenses with 
continued increases in sales.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter were $5.6 
million, or 6.2 % of sales, compared to 6.5% of sales last year.  
The Company continues to be committed to develop new and 
innovative technologies that improve the function, quality and 
safety of automotive products and support new business for 
complete exterior mirrors, electrochromic mirror systems, door 
handles, interior systems and modular windows.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million in the first quarter of 
1996 to $1.7 million.  The increase resulted from higher 
borrowing levels to support the Company's investment in and 
advances to Hohe, support higher working capital and capital 
expenditures for the period.  The Company advanced an additional 
$13.7 million to Hohe in the first quarter.  The advanced was 
financed through the Company's existing borrowing agreements.  An 
increase in interest income was realized by the Company as a 
result of the interest charged on the advances to Hohe.

Royalty income was $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1996 
compared to $0.3 million in 1995.  The increase primarily 
resulted from royalty income associated with the appliance 
business sold to Gemtron Corporation in 1995.  The royalties 
under this agreement are expected to continue through 1996.

Equity earnings (losses) of affliated companies was a loss of 
$0.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to earnings of 
$0.1 million last year.  The loss is primarily due to continued 
start-up expenses at VLSI Limited and losses at Hohe for the 
three month period ending August 31, 1995.  Hohe's net sales and 
net income are subject to significant quarterly fluctuations 
attributable primarily to production schedules of major 
automotive customers.  The Company expects the start-up costs at 
VLSI Limited to continue through the remainder of the fiscal 
year.

The Company had a net loss of $1.8 million in the first quarter 
of 1996.  This compares to a net loss of $0.1 million in the same 
period last year.  While the Company benefited from stronger 
sales than a year earlier and improved earnings from the 
Company's subsidiary in Mexico, the Company's performance was 
negatively affected by the simultaneous start-up of three major 
new business programs, described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's current ratio was 1.9 and 1.7 at September 30, 1995 
and July 1, 1995, respectively.  Working capital was $52.5 
million at September 30, 1995 compared to $40.5 million at July 
1, 1995.  This increase included higher customer tooling to be 
billed to support new programs and increased inventories to 
support new business programs reaching full production later this 
year.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 were 
$6.1 and $7.4 million, respectively.  Capital spending will be 
slightly lower in 1996 due to the completion of the building 
additions required in the last two years in Langres, France and 
Newaygo, Michigan to support new business programs; the transfer 
of the Outside Mirror Glass product line to Mexico and the 
consolidation of two older interior mirror facilities into a new 
facility in Holland, Michigan.

The Company's $70 million bank revolving credit agreement had 
borrowings against it of $46.8 million at September 30, 1995.  In 
July of 1995, the Company issued a senior note of $20.0 million 
with an insurance company.  The note has a four to five month 
delayed takedown with principal payments commencing in fiscal 
2001 until maturity in fiscal 2006.  The Company expects to 
increase the borrowing availability under the current revolving 
line of credit by $20.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 
1996.  The Company believes that the borrowing availability under 
the current revolving line of  credit, together with funds 
generated by operations will meet the Company's  current business 
needs.

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

PATENT LITIGATION.  Certain electrochromic mirror technology of 
the Company has been the subject of patent litigation between the 
Company and Gentex Corporation ("Gentex").  Following the 
settlement of prior litigation, Gentex filed another lawsuit 
against the Company on June 7, 1993.  In this suit, Gentex 
alleged that the Company's solid polymer film electrochromic 
mirror infringed one of the Gentex patents involved in the prior 
litigation and that the Company has violated the injunction 
entered by the court in the previous litigation.  Gentex sought 
unspecified damages and an injunction against further alleged 
infringement by the Company.  On March 21, 1994, the Company's 
motion for summary judgment of non-infringement was granted and 
the lawsuit was dismissed.  Gentex filed an appeal of this 
ruling.  On November 3, 1995, the Court of Appeals for the 
Federal Circuit affirmed the summary judgement decision and 
dismissed Gentex's appeal.

The Company's lawsuit against Gentex, filed on July 8, 1993, 
remains outstanding.  In this suit, the Company has alleged that 
Gentex's lighted electrochromic mirrors infringes three of the 
Company's patents and that all of Gentex's electrochromic mirrors 
infringe a fourth patent owned by the Company.  The Company is 
seeking unspecified damages and injunction against further 
infringement by Gentex.  A trial has been scheduled to begin in 
February, 1996.  Gentex filed  several motions for summary 
judgment, alleging that the patents in question are invalid or 
not infringed, and that the Company is not entitled to certain 
damages.  The Court granted Gentex's motion for summary judgment 
that two of the Company's patents relating to lighted mirrors are 
invalid.  The Court denied Gentex's remaining notions and granted 
the Company's request to dismiss its claim under the third 
lighted mirror patent without prejudice.  The Company believes 
that its lighted mirror patents are not invalid and has requested 
permission to file an immediate appeal on this issue.

On October 13, 1994, the Company filed a second lawsuit against 
Gentex, alleging that Gentex's inside and outside electrochromic 
mirrors infringe two additional patents owned by the Company 
which relate to the protection of electrochromic mirrors from 
ultraviolet radiation.  The Company subsequently amended its 
complaint to allege that Gentex's inside and outside 
electrochromic mirrors infringe a third patent owned by the 
Company which also relates to the protection of electrochromic 
mirrors from ultraviolet radiation.  The Company is seeking 
unspecified damages and an injunction against further 
infringement by Gentex.  The Company has also filed a motion 
seeking a preliminary injunction against further infringement of  
two of these patents pending final resolution of the lawsuit.  
This motion has not yet been decided by the court, and no trial 
date has been set in the second lawsuit.

On June 23, 1995, Gentex filed a lawsuit against the Company 
seeking a declaration that three patents owned by the Company are 
invalid and not infringed by Gentex.  The Company has responded 
by denying these allegations, and charging that two of the 
patents in question are infringed by certain of Gentex's 
electrochromic mirrors.  The Company is seeking unspecified 
damages and an injunction against further infringement by Gentex.  
Gentex has filed a motion for summary judgment alleging that two 
of the Company's patents are invalid; that motion has not yet 
been decided and no trial date has been set.

OTHER LITIGATION.  The Company and its subsidiaries are involved 
in certain other legal actions and claims, including 
environmental claims, arising in  the ordinary course of 
business.  Management believes (based on advice of legal counsel) 
that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material 
effect on the Company's financial position or results of 
operations.
