                              DONNELLY CORPORATION
          NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 28, 1996


NOTE A---BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance 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 accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results for the six months ended  December 28, 1996,
should not be considered  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended June 28, 1997.  The combined  consolidated  balance sheet at June 29,
1996, has been taken from the audited combined 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 June 29, 1996.

The Company's  fiscal year  is the  52 or 53 week  period  ending  the  Saturday
closest  to June 30.  Accordingly, each  quarter ends on the Saturday closest to
quarter end.  Both the quarters ended  December 28, 1996, and December 30, 1995,
included 13 weeks.

NOTE B---INVENTORIES

At the  beginning of fiscal  1997,  the Company  changed to the FIFO  (first-in,
first-out)  method for  determining  the cost of all  inventories.  Until fiscal
1997,  the Company used the LIFO  (last-in,  first-out)  method for  determining
inventory cost,  except for the inventories of consolidated  subsidiaries  which
used the FIFO method.  The change in accounting  principle was made to provide a
better matching of revenue and expenses.  This accounting change is not expected
to be material for the year and was not material to the financial statements for
any previously reported periods.  Accordingly, no retroactive restatement of the
prior year's financial statements was made.

NOTE C---INCOME PER SHARE

Income per share is computed by dividing  net  income,  adjusted  for  preferred
stock  dividends of  approximately  $10,000 in each respective  quarter,  by the
weighted  average  number  of  shares  of  Donnelly   Corporation  common  stock
outstanding, as adjusted for stock splits.

On December 6, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a five for four stock split
in the form of a 25 percent stock dividend distributed on January 30, 1997.  All
references  to  weighted average  number  of shares  outstanding  and  per share
information have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

In the first quarter of 1997, the Company formed Shunde  Donnelly Zhen Hua, Ltd.
("Zhen Hua"),  a joint venture with Shunde Zhen Hua  Automobile  Parts Co., Ltd.
The Company  acquired a 30%  interest in the joint  venture  which  manufactures
exterior mirrors for car makers throughout southern China, including Volkswagen,
Isuzu and Chrysler.  The Company also has an option to buy an additional 30% for
a  predetermined  amount in

NOTE F--ASSET SECURITIZATION

In November 1996, the Company  entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving
basis, an interest in a defined pool of trade accounts  receivable.  The maximum
allowable  amount  of  receivables  to  be  sold  is  $50  million.  The  amount
outstanding  at any  measurement  date  varies  based upon the level of eligible
receivables and  management's  discretion.  Under this agreement,  $32.0 million
were sold at December 28, 1996. The sale is reflected as a reduction of accounts
receivable  in the  accompanying  Combined  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  and as
operating cash flows in the accompanying Combined Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows.  The  proceeds  of sales  are  less  than the  face  amount  of  accounts
receivable sold by an amount that  approximates the purchaser's  financing costs
of issuing its own  commercial  paper backed by these accounts  receivable.  The
discount fees were $0.2 million  during the second  quarter  ended  December 28,
1996, and has been included in selling,  general and  administrative  expense in
the Company's Combined  Consolidated  Statement of Income. The Company, as agent
for the purchaser,  retains collection and administrative  responsibilities  for
the participating interests of the defined pool.

ITEM 2.
                      DONNELLY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                               2ND QUARTER REPORT
                   FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1996

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.  The
comparability  of the Company's  results on a period to period basis may also be
affected by  the Company's  implementation  of new joint ventures, alliances and
acquisitions.

In October 1996,  the Company  acquired a controlling  interest in Donnelly Hohe
GmbH  &  Co  KG  ("Donnelly  Hohe.")  Accordingly,   Donnelly  Hohe's  financial
statements are  consolidated  with those of the Company in the second quarter of
1997. The Company  consolidates the Donnelly Hohe financial  statements from the
one month prior to the  Company's  period end. For the  Company's  period ending
December 28, 1996,  Donnelly Hohe's financial  statements are consolidated using
the three month period ended  November 30, 1996. At December 28, 1996,  Donnelly
Hohe represented  approximately  33% of Company's  Combined  Consolidated  total
assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated  net sales were  $188.0  million  in the second  quarter of 1997 an
increase of 76% compared to $106.8 million for the same period last year.  While
automotive industry production remained stable in both North America and Europe,
net  sales  for the  second  quarter  increased  due to  stronger  sales for the
Company's  products in North  America and the  consolidation  of Donnelly  Hohe,
which contributed net sales of $60.5 million for the period. The Company's sales
increased by over 18% without the consolidation of Donnelly Hohe. Net sales were
$301.4  million for the first six months of 1997 compared to $197.3  million for
the same period last year.  Consolidated net sales without Donnelly Hohe for the
first six months of fiscal 1997 were  $240.9  million,  an increase of 22%.  The
consolidation  of Donnelly Hohe  contributed  $60.5 million in net sales for the
first half of 1997, all in the second quarter.

Gross profit margin for the second  quarter of 1997 was 18.5%  compared to 18.8%
for the  second  quarter  of  1996.  Second  quarter  gross  profit  margin  was
positively impacted by higher volumes, improved operational performance in North
America and strong performance in Spain,  Mexico and France. The Company's Irish
operations  experienced  significant  losses  for the  period due to a number of
factors.  The most significant ones are price decreases  resulting from currency
fluctuations  associated  with  the  strong  Irish  punt  and a  paint  supplier
performance  problem. The Irish operations also experienced high development and
new business  start-up costs. In addition,  the  consolidation  of Donnelly Hohe
unfavorably  impacted  gross profit  performance  for the period.  Donnelly Hohe
operations  continued  to  experience  start-up  difficulties  on  new  business
programs  and customer price pressures.   The Company  is working to restructure
European operations to improve performance to a level

                                                                               9
<PAGE>
more in line  with overall  corporate financial  goals.  Gross profit margin for
the  first six  months of fiscal  1997 was 19.2% compared  to 17.1% for the same
period last year.  The gross profit margin for 1996 was  negatively  affected by
simultaneous  start-up of three  major new business  programs which have current
annual sales for the Company of over $100 million annually.

Selling,  administrative and general expenses increased from $9.9 million in the
second  quarter of 1996 to $17.7  million in the same  period of 1997 due to the
consolidation  of Donnelly  Hohe and to support  higher  sales for this  period.
Selling,  administrative  and general  expenses in the second  quarter of fiscal
1997 were at 9.4% of sales  compared  to 9.2% in the  second  quarter  of fiscal
1996.  These  expenses  were  9.6% of sales  for the  first  six  months of 1997
compared  to  10.1%  for  the  same  period  last  year.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  continue  to be lower as a  percentage  of sales  from
previous  years due to the Company's  commitment to leverage these expenses with
continued increases in sales.

Research and development  expenses for the second quarter were $8.4 million,  or
4.5% of sales, compared to 5.9% of sales last year. These expenses were lower as
a  percentage  to sales due the  consolidation  of  Donnelly  Hohe in the second
quarter of 1997.  Research and development  expenses,  as a percentage to sales,
were at the same level as the previous year for the second  quarter  without the
consolidation  of  Donnelly  Hohe.  The Company  continues  to be  committed  to
developing new and innovative  technologies that improve  function,  quality and
safety of  automotive  products and support new  business for complete  exterior
mirrors,  electrochromic  mirror systems,  interior systems and modular systems.
Research and  development  expenses  were 5.2% as a  percentage  of sales in the
first six months of 1997  compared to 6.0% for the same period last year.  It is
expected  that these  expenses will be at 4.5% to 4.8% to sales each period with
the consolidation of Donnelly Hohe.

Interest expense was $3.0 million in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $2.0
million  the  previous  year.  The  higher  interest  expense  was  due  to  the
consolidation  of  Donnelly Hohe.  Interest  expense  incurred  for  the  second
quarter, excluding the consolidation of Donnelly Hohe, was at the same level  as
the previous year.

Royalty  income was $0.7 million  in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $1.2
million in 1996 and was $1.1 million and $2.5 million for the six months of 1997
and  1996, respectively.  Royalty  payments  associated  with  the  sale  of the
appliance business in 1995 concluded in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Other income was $1.3 million in the second quarter  of 1997.  The  Company sold
2.5%  of its holding  in Vision Group PLC, resulting in a gain to the Company of
$0.9 million.  The  Company  now owns 25.6% of  the common stock in Vision Group
PLC.

Minority interest in net (income) loss of subsidiaries was ($0.6) million in the
second quarter of 1997 due to the  consolidation  of Donnelly Hohe,  compared to
$0.1 million last year.  Effective  in the second  quarter of 1997,  the Company
accounts  for its  investment  in  Donnelly  Hohe under the  purchase  method of
accounting,  thereby  requiring  the  recognition  of  minority  interest in net
(income)  loss  for 33 1/3% of this  subsidiary.  Equity  losses  of  affiliated
companies  were ($0.4)  million in the second quarter of 1997 compared to a gain
of $0.4  million  last  year.  Prior to the second  quarter of 1997 the  Company
accounted  for its  investment  in  Donnelly  Hohe  under the  equity  method of
accounting.


                                                                              10
<PAGE>
The Company's  effective tax rate is 37.8% and 37.6% for the three and six month
periods ending December 28, 1996, respectively. This compares to 34.4% and 32.8%
for the same  respective  periods last year.  The increase in the  effective tax
rate is due to higher net  operating  losses at the  Company's  subsidiaries  in
Ireland.  The net  operating  losses  are  primarily  caused by price  decreases
resulting from currency  fluctuations  associated  with the strong Irish punt, a
paint  supplier  performance  problem  and  high  development  and new  business
start-up costs.

The  Company  had net  income of $3.9  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1997
compared to $2.6  million in the same period last year.  Earnings  increased  in
this  period  primarily  due to higher  sales  volumes  and  stronger  operating
performance in North America in addition to the gain on sale of Vision Group PLC
stock.  Net income for the six month period was $5.6 million in 1997 compared to
$0.8  million in 1996.  Net  income  increased  for the six month  period due to
higher sales volumes, significantly lower start-up costs in North America, lower
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as a percentage to sales for the
period and the gain in sale of Vision Group PLC. The  consolidation  of Donnelly
Hohe did not impact the comparability of net income from 1996 to 1997 for either
the second quarter or six month period.

The  Company  is  committed  to  improving  shareholder  value  through  focused
development of core automotive  businesses primarily by increasing the Company's
dollar content per vehicle through introduction of new technologies,  increasing
volume  through  penetration  into new and emerging  markets and  improving  the
efficiency of current  operations and the effectiveness of new product launches.
The Company believes that future results of operations will be influenced by the
Company's  introduction of improved  program  management and lean  manufacturing
systems,   introduction  of  new  technologies  and  programs  to  the  Company,
significant   global  pricing   pressures  and  general  economic  and  industry
conditions.   Operating  variances,   new  business  start-up  costs,  continued
development costs and pricing  fluctuations  from currency  movements in foreign
markets are  expected to continue  placing  pressure on the  performance  of the
Company's  European  operations into the second half of fiscal 1997. The Company
is working to restructure  European operations to improve financial  performance
to a level more in line with  overall  corporate  financial  goals.  In addition
global  pricing  pressures  are  continuing  to place  pressure on the Company's
overall gross profit margin  performance as pricing  agreements are  implemented
throughout the year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In November 1996, the Company  entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving
basis, an interest in a defined pool of trade accounts  receivable.  The maximum
allowable  amount  of  receivables  to  be  sold  is  $50  million.  The  amount
outstanding  at any  measurement  date  varies  based upon the level of eligible
receivables and  management's  discretion.  Under this agreement,  $32.0 million
were sold at December 28, 1996. The sale is reflected as a reduction of accounts
receivable  in the  accompanying  Combined  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  and as
operating cash flows in the accompanying Combined Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows.  The  proceeds  of sales  are  less  than the  face  amount  of  accounts
receivable sold by an amount that  approximates the purchaser's  financing costs
of issuing its own  commercial  paper backed by these accounts  receivable.  The
discount fees were $0.2 million  during the second  quarter  ended  December 28,
1996, and has been included in selling,  general and  administrative  expense in
the Company's Combined  Consolidated  Statement of Income. The Company, as agent
for the purchaser,  retains collection and administrative  responsibilities  for
the participating interests of the defined pool.


                                                                              11
<PAGE>

The  Company's  current  ratio was 1.5 and 2.0 at December 28, 1996 and June 29,
1996,  respectively.  Working  capital was $58.9  million at December  28, 1996,
compared to $63.5  million at June 29, 1996.  The decrease in the current  ratio
for the period was due to the sale of $32.0  million of accounts  receivable  at
December 28, 1996,  offset  slightly by the addition of Donnelly  Hohe's working
capital  and the  increase  in cash.  The  Company  had a cash  balance of $10.8
million at December  28, 1996,  due to the timing of customer  payments and cash
received on the sale of accounts  receivable at Donnelly  Hohe. The cash balance
was used to reduce bank debt by December 30, 1996.

Capital  expenditures  for the  first six months of 1997 and 1996 were $11.5 and
$12.5 million, respectively.   Capital  spending in  1997  is expected  to be at
approximately the same level as the previous year.  Capital expenditures are not
expected to be significantly higher with the consolidation of Donnelly Hohe.

The Company's $80 million bank revolving credit agreement had borrowings against
it of $24.7 million at December 28, 1996,  compared to $42.2 million at June 29,
1996.  The  decrease is primarily  due to the sale of $32.0  million of accounts
receivable  at  December  28,  1996,  the  proceeds of which were used to reduce
borrowings against the Company's revolving credit agreement. Donnelly Hohe has a
75 million German Mark (approximately  $45-$50 million) revolving line of credit
agreement,  which had borrowings against it of approximately $28.7 million as of
November 30, 1996.

The  Company  utilizes  interest  rate  swaps  and foreign exchange contracts to
manage exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
The  risk of  loss to  the Company  in the event of  nonperformance by any party
under these agreements is not material.


                                                                              12

PART II.          OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 21, 1997,  Midwest  Manufacturing  Holdings,  L.L.C.  filed a lawsuit
against  the  Company in Cook  County  Illinois  Circuit  Court with  respect to
terminated discussions regarding the possibility of Midwest's acquisition of the
Company's Information Products business.  The litigation has been removed to the
Federal  District Court for the Northern  District of Illinois.  Midwest alleges
that a verbal agreement to purchase the Information  Products  business had been
reached,  and has filed its  lawsuit  in an  attempt  to compel  the  Company to
proceed with the sale. In mid-January,  the Company informed Midwest that it did
not believe the  transaction  could be  completed  due to a number of  different
reasons.  The Company  believes  that it has acted in good faith and in the best
interests of its employees and shareholders.  Management believes that the claim
by Midwest is without merit and will be resolved  without material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

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 that such litigation and claims will be resolved
without  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial  position  or results of
operations and cash flows.
