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 July 1, 2000, should
not be  considered  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December 31, 2000. The combined  consolidated  balance sheet at December
31,  1999,  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 report on Form 10-K for the six months ended December 31, 1999.

Effective July 4, 1999,  the Company  changed the date for the end of its fiscal
year from the  Saturday  nearest June 30 to December  31. The  Company's  fiscal
quarters end on the  Saturdays  nearest  March 31, June 30 and September 30. All
year and  quarter  references  relate to the  Company's  fiscal  year and fiscal
quarters, unless otherwise stated.

Also in 1999, the Company changed the fiscal year ends of its German and Spanish
subsidiaries  from  May  31  to  December  31.  Prior  to  this  change,   these
subsidiaries  reported  their  results of  operations  on a one-month  lag.  The
results of operations  for the three- and six-month  periods ended July 3, 1999,
include the results for these  subsidiaries  for the three and six months  ended
May 31, 1999,  while the current year includes the results for the three and six
months ended July 1, 2000.

Translation and transaction  adjustments are recorded directly in a component of
shareholder's equity in the accompanying Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance

adjustments  of the Company's net  investments in its foreign  subsidiaries,  as
well as foreign currency denominated  long-term advances to affiliates caused by
fluctuations in exchange rates. Prior to the first quarter of calendar 1999, the
Company's  investment in VISION Group plc ("VISION  Group") was accounted for at
fair  value  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") 115,  "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity  Securities," with unrealized gains and losses reported directly in a
component of  shareholders'  equity.  In the first quarter of calendar 1999, the
Company sold its interest in VISION Group which caused the previously unrealized
gain to be realized  (see also Note G). Total  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income totaled  $(13.5) million and $(11.2) million at July 1, 2000 and December
31, 1999, respectively.

NOTE F---NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is an  international  supplier  of  automotive  parts and  component
systems through manufacturing operations and various joint ventures in North and
South  America,  Europe and Asia.  The  Company  primarily  supplies  automotive
customers around the world with rear view mirror systems, modular window systems
and handle products. The Company's non-automotive products represent less than 4
% of total net sales for each of the last three years.

The Company is primarily  managed based on  geographic  segments and the product
markets they serve.  The Company has two  reportable  segments:  North  American
Automotive  Operations ("NAAO") and European Automotive  Operations ("EAO"). The
operating  segments are managed  separately  as they each  represent a strategic
operational  component  that offers the Company's  product lines to customers in
different  geographical  markets.  The  accounting  polices  of  the  reportable
operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting  policies  described  in Note 1 - Summary of  Significant  Accounting
Policies,  in the  Company's  1999 Annual  Report.  Revenues are  attributed  to
segments  based on the  location  of where  the  sales  originate.  The  Company
evaluates  performance  based on segment  profit,  which is defined as  earnings
before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization,  excluding  significant
special gains, losses and restructuring  charges. Due to the Company's corporate
headquarters being located in the United States,  certain estimates are made for
allocations to NAAO of centralized  corporate costs incurred in support of NAAO.
Centralized  European  overhead costs are included in EAO. The Company  accounts
for  intersegment  sales and transfers at current market prices and intersegment
services at cost.


A summary of the Company's operations by its business segments follows:

Additional disclosures regarding the Company's products and services, geographic
areas,  major  customers  and total  assets are  included  in Note 4 - Nature of
Operations,  in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the six months ended  December 31,
1999.

NOTE G---INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES

On  September  14,  1999,  the Company  sold its 50%  interest in Lear  Donnelly
Overhead  Systems,  LLC ("Lear  Donnelly")  to Lear  Corporation  ("Lear"),  its
partner in the joint  venture.  As a result of the  transaction,  the  financial
results of Lear  Donnelly  are no longer  included  in the  Company's  financial
statements after September 1999.

Lear Donnelly operated by selling its products to Lear and the Company, which in
turn  sold  them to the  final  customers.  Due to the  transfer  to Lear of the
Company's  interior  lighting  and trim sales  contracts  included  in the joint
venture,  net sales for the three-  and  six-month  periods  ended July 1, 2000,
declined  approximately  $18 million and $34  million,  respectively.  Since the
joint venture operated at approximately break-even since its formation, the sale
is not expected to have a material  impact on the  Company's  future  results of
operations  or  financial  position.  However,  current  year  gross  profit and
operating margins as a percent of sales are favorably impacted by the sale.

In April 1999,  the Company  formed  Schott-Donnelly  LLC Smart Glass  Solutions
("Schott   Donnelly"),   a  50-50  joint   venture  with  Schott  North  America
Manufacturing,  Inc. ("Schott"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Schott Glas, which
is based in Germany and is one of the world's  leading  producers  of  specialty
glass  products.  The  joint  venture  is  developing  electrochromic  glass for
automotive  and  architectural  applications.  The Company  contributed  certain
assets and  liabilities  upon the formation of the joint venture and received $2
million in cash, which was recorded as a pretax gain. In accordance

                                                                              10
<PAGE>
with the LLC operating agreement,  losses generated by the joint venture will be
allocated to Schott until Schott has contributed $9.5 million.

In the first quarter of calendar 1999,  the Company sold its remaining  interest
in VISION  Group for $7.6  million in proceeds  and  recognized a pretax gain of
approximately $5.1 million, or $0.33 per share after tax (See Note D).

The Company has advanced  $18.4  million at July 1, 2000,  and $14.6  million at
December  31,  1999,  to its  venture,  Donnelly  Electronics,  Inc.  ("Donnelly
Electronics"),  under a promissory  note that bears  interest at 7%. The Company
owns approximately 18.2% of Donnelly Electronics and accounts for it on the cost
method.  Accordingly,  the  financial  results of Donnelly  Electronics  are not
included in the Company's financial statements.


NOTE H---RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

In the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the  Company  recorded a $10.0  million  pretax
restructuring   charge,  or  $4.0  million  at  net  income,  for  its  European
restructuring   plan.   A  reduction   of  $1.1  million  was  recorded  to  the
restructuring reserve in 1998 associated with changes to the restructuring plan.
In the third  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  an $8.8  million  pretax  restructuring
charge,  or $3.5  million at net  income,  was  recorded  for the 1999  European
turnaround  plan.  The Company has  combined the  remaining  actions of the 1997
restructuring,  which primarily  consisted of the elimination and outsourcing of
redundant operations in Germany, with the new European turnaround initiative.

The Company is also funding  approximately  $4 million for the  construction  of
shipping and  warehousing  facilities,  relocation of employees and new material
handling and storage equipment  associated with the turnaround plan. These costs
do not qualify as  restructuring  under EITF 94-3 and  therefore are included in
the Company's capital  expenditures and operating expenses.  As of July 1, 2000,
approximately  75% of the cash flows required to complete these  facilities were
funded, with the remaining  expenditures expected to be substantively  completed
by the end of the third quarter, the majority of which will be capitalized.

Cumulative restructuring activity is as follows:

(1)  The Company has terminated 153 employees  under the plan. In addition,  the
     Company has  experienced a net reduction of  approximately  63 employees in
     Germany through natural  attrition.  Amounts utilized include an adjustment
     of $1.1  million  to the  restructuring  reserve  in 1998  associated  with
     changes  to the  restructuring  plan and the  impact  of  foreign  currency
     changes.

It is expected that the actions  associated with the plan will be  substantially
completed by the end of 2000.  While the  Company's  European  organization  has
announced three quarters of continued improved  operating  margins,  operational
results in Germany  remain at a planned net  operating  loss.  In

                                                                              11

addition,  the  Company  has been  able to take  advantage  of  statutory  early
retirement  programs  in Germany  and has  increased  its focus on  re-deploying
personnel through natural attrition processes. The remaining planned actions are
focused on improving the results in the Company's German  locations.  Management
is in the process of assessing the overall reserve  balances in light of current
employment and operating conditions.

NOTE I---COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company's  vehicle  manufacturing  customers  (VMs) offer  warranties to new
vehicle  purchasers which cover the repair and replacement of defective parts on
their vehicles for a specified  period of time.  Traditionally,  the majority of
the Company's VMs have borne the cost  associated  with such warranty  programs,
including  costs related to the repair and  replacement of parts supplied to the
vehicle  manufacturer  by the supplier.  VMs are  increasingly  requiring  their
outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products. The Company's warranty
responsibility  is  currently  governed  by the terms and  conditions  with each
customer,  which vary from customer to customer,  although most require that the
Company makes certain that its products are in conformity to specifications  and
free from defect.  Depending on these terms, a VM might seek to hold the Company
responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement  costs of such products
when the product did not perform as  represented.  The Company has  historically
accrued and  continues to accrue for such claims when events exist that make the
loss probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated.  Because this has been a
recent trend in the industry,  the Company cannot assure that  adjustments  will
not be required based on actual  experience or change in industry  expectations.
In addition,  re-allocation  of  established  reserves  between  segments may be
necessary  due to changes in  management's  estimates  and industry  conditions.
Re-allocation  of reserves  would impact the results of the Company's  operating
segments,  however,  should not significantly  impact the combined  consolidated
results of the Company.

OVERVIEW

Effective July 4, 1999, the Company changed the date of its fiscal year end from
the  Saturday  nearest  June 30 to  December  31.  Accordingly,  comparisons  of
operating  results are analyzed  utilizing the comparable  calendar period.  The
Company's  fiscal  quarters end on the  Saturdays  nearest March 31, June 30 and
September  30. The three- and  six-month  periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3,
1999,  each  included  13 and 26  weeks,  respectively.  All  year  and  quarter
references  relate to the  Company's  fiscal years and fiscal  quarters,  unless
otherwise stated.

Also in 1999, the Company changed the fiscal year ends of its German and Spanish
subsidiaries  from  May  31  to  December  31.  Prior  to  this  change,   these
subsidiaries  reported  their  results of  operations  on a one-month  lag.  The
results of operations  for the three- and six-month  periods ended July 3, 1999,
include the results for these  subsidiaries  for the three and six months  ended
May 31, 1999,  while the current year includes the results for the three and six
months ended July 1, 2000.

The Company's net sales and net income are subject to  significant  fluctuations
attributable primarily to production schedules of the Company's major automotive
customers.  These factors cause results to fluctuate from  period-to-period  and
year-to-year.  The comparability of results on a period-to-period  basis is also
affected by the formation and  disposition of  subsidiaries,  joint ventures and
alliances,  and  acquisitions and investments in new product lines. In addition,
the Company has strong product content on light trucks,  including sport utility
vehicles ("SUVs"), as compared to automobiles.

The Company has two reportable  segments:  North American Automotive  Operations
("NAAO") and European Automotive  Operations ("EAO"). The operating segments are
managed separately as they

                                                                              13
<PAGE>
each  represent  a strategic  operational  component  that offers the  Company's
product lines to customers in different geographical markets.

Mergers, Joint Ventures and Sale of Investments

In September,  1999, the Company sold its 50% interest in Lear Donnelly Overhead
Systems, LLC ("Lear Donnelly") to Lear Corporation ("Lear"),  its partner in the
joint venture. The Company's equity in the financial results of Lear Donnelly is
no longer included in the Company's  financial  statements after September 1999.
Lear Donnelly operated by selling its products to Lear and the Company, which in
turn sold them to their  final  customers.  Due to the  transfer  to Lear of the
Company's  interior  lighting  and trim sales  contracts  included  in the joint
venture,  net sales for the three-and  six-month period ended July 1, 2000, were
reduced  approximately $18 million and $34 million, respectively, as compared to
the comparable  periods in the prior year.  Since the joint venture  operated at
approximately  break-even  from  the  time  of its  formation,  the  sale is not
expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  future  results  of
operations.  However,  gross profit and operating  margins as a percent of sales
for future periods should be favorably impacted.

In April 1999,  the Company  formed  Schott-Donnelly  LLC Smart Glass  Solutions
("Schott   Donnelly"),   a  50-50  joint   venture  with  Schott  North  America
Manufacturing,  Inc. ("Schott"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Schott Glas, which
is based in Germany and is one of the world's  leading  producers  of  specialty
glass  products.  The  joint  venture  is  developing  electrochromic  glass for
automotive and architectural applications (see Note G).

In the second  calendar  quarter of 1999,  the Company began  consolidating  the
financial  statements of Varitronix EC (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.  ("Varitronix  EC").
Varitronix EC is based in Malaysia and is the Company's 50-50,  controlled joint
venture  with  a  Malaysian   subsidiary   of  Varitronix   International   Ltd.
("Varitronix"). Varitronix, based in Hong Kong, is a global leader in the market
for liquid  crystal  displays and  electronic  systems.  Varitronix  EC provides
support for the Company's worldwide electrochromic mirror production.

In the first calendar  quarter of 1999, the Company sold its remaining  interest
in VISION  Group plc  ("VISION  Group").  The Company  received  $7.6 million in
proceeds and recognized a combined pretax gain of approximately $5.1 million, or
$0.33 per share, after tax.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison  of the three- and  six-month periods ended July 1, 2000, and July 3,
1999

North American Automotive Operations ("NAAO")

For the three-month period ended July 1, 2000, NAAO net sales increased 3.9%, or
$5.4  million,  compared  to the same period in  calendar  1999.  NAAO net sales
increased 5.6% for the six-month period ended July 1, 2000, compared to the same
period in calendar  1999.  North  American  car and light truck build  increased
approximately 5% to 6% for the three- and six-month periods compared to the same
periods in calendar 1999.

NAAO gross  profit  margins  were down  slightly  for the  three- and  six-month
periods  ended  July 1,  2000,  compared  to the same  periods  in the  previous
calendar year. While margins improved at the Company's

                                                                              14
<PAGE>
North American  complete  outside mirror  facilities,  these  improvements  were
offset by an unfavorable  product mix, primarily in modular windows,  and by the
costs associated with the ramp-up of new  electrochromic  and electronic  mirror
products.  Gross profit margins were also positively  influenced by after-market
sales for complete  outside  mirrors.  The success of the Company in maintaining
gross profit  margins is dependent upon its ability to  successfully  launch new
booked business and to offset continued customer pricing pressures. In addition,
the Company may  experience  changes in gross profit margins based on its mix of
lower-margin and higher-margin  products.  It is expected that future changes in
revenue will be balanced between higher- and lower-margin products.

The Company's North American  operating  margins were below previous year levels
for both the three- and  six-month  periods  compared to the same periods in the
previous  calendar year. Higher sales were offset by slightly lower gross profit
margins and higher operating expenses during the period. The planned increase in
research and development  expenses are for the support of new programs launching
during the second half of 2000 and calendar 2001.  Higher  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  were  caused  by the  previously  announced  increased
investments in information  technology and depreciation for recently  introduced
software for manufacturing, distribution and administration.

European Automotive Operations ("EAO")

EAO net  sales  decreased  by 1.9%  and  increased  by 4.2% for the  three-  and
six-month  periods ended July 1, 2000,  compared to the same periods in calendar
1999, respectively.  The significant strengthening of the dollar compared to the
euro significantly  reduced the reported sales level for Europe. Stated in local
currencies,  EAO net sales  increased by  approximately  12.1% and 19.3% for the
three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000, compared to the same periods in
calendar  1999,  respectively.  The  increase in net sales is  primarily  due to
products  launched in calendar 1999 running at full  production  volumes and the
elimination of the one-month lag in consolidating the Company's  subsidiaries in
Germany and Spain. Western European car production increased by approximately 4%
in the first half compared to the same period last year.

EAO gross profit margins  improved during both the three- and six-month  periods
ending July 1, 2000 compared to the comparable  periods of calendar 1999, due to
stronger  sales  volumes and  operating  improvements.  The  elimination  of the
one-month lag in consolidating  the Company's  subsidiaries in Germany and Spain
also contributed to the positive gross profit margins for the six-month  period.
Overall sales price pressures in Europe were offset by improvements in purchased
material costs, the impact of restructuring  initiatives and general operational
productivity improvements.

In the first  calendar  quarter of 1999,  an $8.8 million  pretax  restructuring
charge,  or $3.5 million at net income,  was recorded for an EAO turnaround plan
(see Note H).

EAO operating income, as adjusted for the restructuring charge, was improved for
the  six-month  period  ended July 1, 2000,  compared  to the same period in the
previous year. Stronger sales,  improved gross profit margins and lower selling,
general,  and administrative  expenses all contributed to the improved operating
margins during the six-month period.

Company

Net sales were $227.5  million and $464.9  million for the three- and  six-month
periods ended July 1, 2000, respectively,  compared to $243.1 million and $476.3
million in the same  periods last year.  This

                                                                              15
<PAGE>
represents  a  decrease  of 6.4% and  2.4%,  respectively.  Changes  in  foreign
currency exchange rates  contributed  significantly to the decrease in net sales
for the three-  and  six-month  periods.  Adjusted  for  foreign  exchange  rate
fluctuations  and the impact of the reduction in net sales  associated with Lear
Donnelly, the Company's net sales increased by 5.8% and 10.0% for the three- and
six-month periods,  respectively.  Suppliers in the automotive industry continue
to  experience  significant  price  pressure  from their  customers.  While this
pressure  continues to squeeze the Company's gross profit and operating margins,
it did not have a  material  impact on net sales for the  three-  and  six-month
periods  reported.  The impact of price  pressures  on gross  profit  margins is
dependant  upon  the  ability  of the  Company  to  offset  these  decreases  by
improvements  in purchase  material  prices,  product design changes and overall
operations productivity.

Gross profit margin for the three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000, was
17.1% and 17.2%  compared to 14.2% and 15.2%,  respectively,  in the  comparable
periods from last year. The improved gross profit margin is primarily due to the
sale of Lear Donnelly and stronger gross profit margins in Europe. The Company's
Information  Products  subsidiary  also  contributed  favorably to the Company's
gross  profit for the first half of 2000  compared to the first half of calendar
1999.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  were $21.1  million  and $41.7
million,  or 9.3% and 9.0% of net sales,  for the three- and  six-month  periods
ended July 1, 2000,  compared to $22.1  million and $42.6  million,  or 9.1% and
9.0% of net sales for the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 1999. These
expenses remained  relatively flat with previous year levels due to management's
focus on cost management both in North America and Europe, despite the continued
investment in information  technology.  Lower exchange rates also contributed to
the decrease in the expense for the six-month period.

Research and development  expenses were $7.8 million and $17.6 million,  or 3.4%
and 3.8% of net sales, respectively,  for the three- and six-month periods ended
July 1, 2000,  compared to $5.6 million and $15.2  million,  or 2.3% and 3.2% of
net sales,  respectively,  in the  comparable  periods from last year. The lower
research and  development  expenses for the six-months  ended July 3, 1999, were
due to timing of engineering related billings.  Offsetting these reductions were
investments in new complete outside mirror products and value-added technologies
including  electrochromic,  electronics and lighting  applications  launching in
calendar 2000 and 2001.

Operating income was $9.8 million and $20.8 million for the three- and six-month
periods  ended July 1, 2000,  compared to $6.8  million and $5.9 million for the
same  periods  last  year.  Adjusted  for the  impact of the 1999  restructuring
charge, operating income improved by $6.1 million, or from 3.1% of net sales for
the six months ended July 3, 1999, to 4.5% of net sales for the six months ended
July 1, 2000.  Operating income improved  primarily due to improved gross profit
margins  and  positive   performance  of  the  Company's   Information  Products
subsidiary.

Interest  expense was $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the three- and six-month
periods  ended July 1, 2000,  compared to $1.5  million and $3.7 million for the
same periods  last year.  Interest  expense  increased  primarily  due to higher
levels of  capitalized  interest  in the prior  year,  offset  slightly by lower
average borrowings during the current period.

In the first calendar  quarter of 1999, the Company sold its remaining  interest
in VISION Group.  The Company received $7.6 million in proceeds and recognized a
combined pretax gain of approximately  $5.1 million,  or $0.33 per share,  after
tax.

                                                                              16
<PAGE>
Other income, net was $(0.03) million and $(0.2) million for the three- and six-
month  periods  ended July 1, 2000,  compared to $3.0 million and $2.3  million,
respectively,  for the  comparable  periods last year. The decrease is primarily
attributable  to a $2 million pretax gain, or $0.13 per share after tax recorded
on the formation of the Schott  Donnelly  joint  venture in the second  calendar
quarter of 1999 (see Note G). This  decrease was  partially  offset by increased
interest and royalty income in the current year.

The Company's  effective tax rate was  approximately  27% in both the three- and
six-month  periods  compared  to 29% and 21% in the same  respective  periods of
1999.  The lower  effective tax rate in the January  through June period of 1999
was due to an income  tax  credit on the  benefit  of  German  losses  primarily
associated with the restructuring  charge taken in the first calendar quarter of
1999.  The Company's  effective tax rate will vary based on the level and mix in
pretax earnings in countries with varying  effective tax rates,  availability of
tax benefits and unusual pretax gains or losses.

The Company has recorded  $14.4 million and $14.6 million of deferred tax assets
on foreign  non-expiring net operating loss  carry-forwards  at July 1, 2000 and
December   31,  1999,   respectively.   A   significant   portion  of  the  loss
carry-forwards  resulted  from the  European  restructuring  charges.  These tax
assets are expected to be realized based on operating improvements.

Minority  interest in net  (income)  loss of  subsidiaries  was $0.2 million and
$(0.1) million for the three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000, compared
to $1.5 million and $3.3  million for the same periods last year,  respectively.
The previous  year minority  interest in net loss of subsidiary  was impacted by
the  restructuring  charge taken at the Company's German subsidiary in the first
quarter of 1999 and the consolidation of the financial  statements of Varitronix
EC starting in the second quarter of 1999. Both of these  subsidiaries  operated
at approximately break-even for the first six months of 2000.

Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies in the current year improved
by $0.4  million  from the first six months of calendar  1999.  Earnings of $0.1
million  were  recorded  in the first six months of 2000  compared  to equity in
losses of $0.4  million  for the  comparable  period  last year.  The  Company's
Brazilian joint venture,  while still operating at a loss,  improved compared to
the same period last year.  The Company's  joint  ventures in China  continue to
remain positive. Equity in losses from the Company's Lear Donnelly joint venture
impacted the first six months of 1999. However, due to the sale of the Company's
interest in this joint venture, the Company's equity in the financial results of
Lear Donnelly is no longer included in the Company's financial  statements after
September 1999.

The Company has historically  accrued and continues to accrue for claims arising
from warranties offered by the Company's vehicle manufacturing  customers to new
vehicle  purchasers which cover the repair and replacement of defective parts on
their  vehicles for a specified  period of time.  The Company cannot assure that
adjustments  will not be  required  based on  actual  experience  or  change  in
industry expectations, (See Note I for further discussion).

The Company is committed to improving  shareholder  value with a strategic  plan
focussed  on the  following  key areas:  developing  core  automotive  products,
primarily by  increasing  dollar  content per vehicle  through the  expansion of
market share of existing products; introduction of new technologies and products
and  increasing  volume  through  penetration  into  new and  emerging  markets;
improving  the  overall   operating   performance  of  the  Company's   European
Operations;  extending the Company's  capabilities  in  value-added  electronics
technologies;  and repositioning  non-core businesses,  as appropriate,  through
merging or divesting these businesses.

                                                                              17
<PAGE>
The Company  believes that these  strategic  initiatives  have  established  the
foundation for the Company's  ability to improve  shareholder  value.  Excluding
unusual and  non-recurring  items,  the unaudited net income from operations for
the twelve-month rolling period ending July 1, 2000, was $21.8 million, a record
for  the  Company.   These  financial  developments  combined  with  the  strong
commercial  developments  for new orders  booked  (initially  launching  in late
calendar 2000) and the continued  introduction of advanced  technologies support
the Company's ability to grow shareholder value. Management remains committed to
the overall strategies of continued  implementation of the Company's operational
systems,   introducing  new  and  innovative  technologies,   focusing  on  core
businesses and developing and enabling highly skilled people.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's  current  ratio was 1.2 on July 1, 2000 and  December  31,  1999.
Working capital was $23.5 million on July 1, 2000,  compared to $25.3 million at
December 31, 1999.  Increases  in accounts  receivable  were offset by continued
benefits of an active working capital  management  program and seasonal  accrual
increases.  Overall sales increases in Europe for the period, where credit terms
are often longer than those in North America,  affected both accounts receivable
and  accounts  payable in the period.  The increase in accounts  receivable  was
partially  offset by increased  cash  receipts in North America due to timing of
key customer payments.

At July 1, 2000,  and  December  31,  1999,  $41.2  million  and $38.9  million,
respectively,   had  been  sold   under  the   Company's   accounts   receivable
securitization  agreement.  Proceeds  received  under this agreement are used to
reduce  revolving  lines of credit.  The sales are  reflected  as a reduction of
accounts  receivable  and an increase to  operating  cash flows.  The  agreement
expires in December  2000,  however it is renewable for one-year  periods at the
option of the Company.  The Company  expects to extend the current  agreement or
replace it on comparable terms.

Capital  expenditures  for the six months ended July 1, 2000,  and July 3, 1999,
were  $23.3  million  and $31.3  million,  respectively.  Capital  spending  was
primarily to support information technology, new business orders, the ramp up of
new electrochromic and electronic mirror products,  the 1999 European turnaround
plan and continuous improvement activities of the Company.  Capital spending for
the next twelve to eighteen  months is expected to remain near current  spending
levels to support  these  programs,  in  addition to the  implementation  of new
manufacturing, distribution and administrative information systems globally.

The Company announced significant restructuring plans in fiscal 1997 and 1999 to
improve the overall  profitability  of EAO (see Note H). The  remaining  reserve
balance for these plans was $8.3  million at July 1, 2000.  It is expected  that
all actions associated with the plan will be substantially  completed by the end
of 2000. Approximately 75% of the $4.0 million in cash flows associated with the
construction of shipping and warehousing facilities, relocation of employees and
new material  handling and storage  equipment  associated with the 1999 European
turnaround plan have been largely completed.

The Company  believes that its long-term  liquidity and capital  resource  needs
will continue to be provided  principally  by funds from  operating  activities,
supplemented by borrowings  under existing credit  facilities.  The Company also
considers equity offerings to properly manage the Company's total capitalization
position.  The  Company  considers,  from  time to  time,  new  joint  ventures,

resource  requirements  of the Company.  For the six-month  period ended July 1,
2000,  the  Company  made  $5.0  million  of  investments  in  and  advances  to
affiliates, including the redemption of a minority interest in a subsidiary.

The Company's $160 million  multi-currency global revolving credit agreement had
borrowings against it of $41.5 million and $42.5 million as of July 1, 2000, and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

The  Company's  primary  foreign  investments  are in Germany,  Ireland,  Spain,
France, Mexico, China, Brazil and Malaysia.  Except for the Company's subsidiary
in Mexico,  whose  functional  currency is the United States  dollar,  financial
statements of  international  companies are translated into United States dollar
equivalents at exchange rates as follows: (1) balance sheet accounts at year-end
rates and (2) income  statement  accounts at weighted  average monthly  exchange
rates prevailing during the year. Translation gains and losses are reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity and are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income. For the subsidiary in Mexico,  transaction and translation
gains or  losses  are  reflected  in net  income  for all  accounts  other  than
intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature for which the translation
gains or losses are reported as a separate  component of  shareholders'  equity.
Foreign currency  transaction  gains and losses included in other income are not
material.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,"  establishes  accounting  and
reporting standards for derivative  instruments and for hedging  activities.  It
requires that an entity  recognize all  derivatives in the balance sheet at fair
value. It also requires that unrealized  gains and losses resulting from changes
in fair  value be  included  in income or  comprehensive  income,  depending  on
whether the instrument  qualifies as a hedge.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all
fiscal  quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does
not expect the  implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on
its results of operations or financial position.

No other recently  issued  accounting  standards are expected to have a material
impact on the Company.

Euro Conversion

Effective  January 1, 1999,  eleven of fifteen member  countries of the European
Union  established  permanent  rates of exchange  between the members'  national
currency and a new common currency, the "euro." In this first phase, the euro is
available for non-cash transactions in the monetary,  capital,  foreign exchange
and  interbank  markets.  National  currencies  will  continue to exist as legal
tender and may  continue to be used in  commercial  transactions  until the euro
currency  is issued in  January  2002 and the  participating  members'  national
currency  is  withdrawn  by  July  2002.  The  Company's   significant  European
operations are all located in member  countries  participating  in this monetary
union.

The Company created an internal, pan-European, cross-functional team, as well as
internal teams at each operation affected by the change, to address  operational
implementation issues and investigate strategic

                                                                              19

opportunities  due to the  introduction of the euro. The Company has established
action plans that are currently  being  implemented to address the euro's impact
on information systems, currency exchange risk, taxation, contracts, competition
and pricing.  The Company  anticipates  benefiting from the  introduction of the
euro through a reduction of foreign currency exposure and  administration  costs
on transactions within Europe and increased  efficiency in centralized  European
cash management. The Company has commenced conversion of its European operations
from  national  currency  to the euro.  The  change in  functional  currency  is
proceeding  as planned and is expected to be completed in the middle of calendar
2001.

The Company does not presently  expect that the introduction and use of the euro
will materially affect the Company's foreign exchange hedging  activities or the
Company's  use  of  derivative  instruments.   Any  costs  associated  with  the
introduction  of the euro will be expensed  as  incurred.  The Company  does not
believe  that the  introduction  of the euro will have a material  impact on its
results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 7 (a)      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The  Company  is  exposed to changes  in  interest  rates and  foreign  currency
exchange  primarily  in  its  cash,  debt,  foreign  currency  transactions  and
operating  results  of the  Company's  foreign  affiliates.  The  Company  holds
derivative  instruments,  including  interest  rate  swaps and  forward  foreign
currency  contracts.  Derivative  instruments used by the Company in its hedging
activities are viewed as risk  management  tools and are not used for trading or
speculative  purposes.  Analytical  techniques  are used to manage  and  monitor
foreign  exchange  and  interest  rate risk and include  market  valuation.  The
Company believes it is, to a lesser degree,  subject to commodity risk for price
changes  that  relate to  certain  manufacturing  operations  that  utilize  raw
commodities.  The  Company  manages  its  exposure  to changes  in those  prices
primarily  through its  procurement  and sales  practices.  This exposure is not
considered material to the Company.

A discussion  of the  Company's  accounting  policies for  derivative  financial
instruments is included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant  Accounting Policies,
in the  Notes  to the  Combined  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  which  is
included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K report for the six months ended December 31,
1999.  Additional  information  relating to  financial  instruments  and debt is
included in Note 9 - Financial Instruments and Note 7 - Debt and Other Financing
Arrangements,  which are also included in Item 8 of the Form 10-K report for the
six months ended December 31, 1999.

International  operations  are  primarily  based in Europe and,  excluding  U.S.
export sales which are  principally  denominated in U.S.  dollars,  constitute a
significant  portion of the revenues and identifiable  assets of the Company.  A
predominant portion of these international  revenues and identifiable assets are
based in German marks. The Company has significant loans to foreign  affiliates,
which are denominated in foreign  currencies.  Foreign  currency changes against
the U.S.  dollar affect the foreign  currency  transaction  adjustments on these
long-term advances to affiliates and the foreign currency translation adjustment
of the Company's net investment in these affiliates,  which impact  consolidated
equity of the  Company.  International  operations  result in a large  volume of
foreign currency  commitment and transaction  exposures and significant  foreign
currency net asset exposures.  Since the Company  manufactures its products in a
number of  locations  around the world,  it has a cost base that is  diversified
over a number of different currencies,  as well as the U.S. dollar, which serves
to counterbalance partially its foreign currency transaction risk.

                                                                              20

Selective foreign currency  commitments and transaction  exposures are partially
hedged.  The Company does not hedge its exposure to translation gains and losses
relating to foreign currency net asset  exposures;  however,  when possible,  it
borrows in local currencies to reduce such exposure. The Company is also exposed
to fluctuations in other currencies including:  Brazilian reals, British pounds,
Chinese renminbi,  European euros,  Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgit  and Mexican
pesos.   The  Company  is  also  exposed  to  potential  costs  associated  with
repatriation timing and risk from some of its foreign affiliates. The fair value
of the foreign  currency  contracts  outstanding has been immaterial each of the
last two years and the transition period.

The Company's cash position includes amounts  denominated in foreign currencies.
The Company manages its worldwide cash requirements  considering available funds
amongst its subsidiaries and the cost  effectiveness  with which these funds can
be accessed.  The  repatriation  of cash  balances from certain of the Company's
affiliates  could have adverse tax  consequences.  However,  those  balances are
generally  available  without  legal  restrictions  to  fund  ordinary  business
operations.  The  Company  has and will  continue  to  transfer  cash from those
affiliates to the parent and to other  international  affiliates when it is cost
effective to do so.

The Company  manages  its  interest  rate risk in order to balance its  exposure
between fixed and variable rates while  attempting to minimize  interest  costs.
Nearly  half of the  Company's  long-term  debt is fixed and an  additional  $25
million is effectively fixed through interest rate swaps.

See the Company's Form 10-K for the six months ending  December 31, 1999, Item 7
(a),  for  quantitative  and  qualitative  disclosures  about  market risk as of
December  31,  1999.  There have been no  material  changes in the nature of the
market risk exposures facing the Company since December 31, 1999.

PART II.          OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 30, 2000, the Company filed a complaint  against  Industrias  Arteb S.A.
("Arteb") and Tocantins  Participacoes  S/C LTDA  ("Tocantins") in Central Civil
Court in Sao Paulo,  Brazil.  The  complaint  alleges that Arteb and  Tocantins,
Donnelly's  partner in the joint venture Donnelly Arteb LTDA (the "Joint Venture
Company"),  have failed to support the business as required by the Joint Venture
Agreement and that the Company has a right to purchase all of their  interest in
The Joint  Venture  Company for an amount equal to the book value of Arteb's and
Tocantins'  interest in the Joint Venture Company.  No answer has yet been filed
to the  complaint.  The Company  believes that this  litigation  will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain other legal actions and
claims  incidental  to its  business,  including  those  arising  out of alleged
defects, breach of contracts, product warranties, employment-related matters and
environmental matters. An estimated loss from a legal action or claim is accrued
when events  exist that make the loss  probable  and the loss can be  reasonably
estimated.  Although  the  Company  maintains  accruals  for  such  claims  when
warranted,  there can be no assurance  that such  accruals  will  continue to be
adequate.  The Company  believes that accruals  related to such  litigation  and
claims are  sufficient  and that these items will be resolved  without  material
effect on the Company's financial position,  results of operations or liquidity,
individually and in the aggregate.

                                                                              21
