ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                      AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

INTRODUCTION

Lund International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures, markets
and distributes appearance automotive aftermarket accessories for light duty
trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans. The Company has 34 product lines,
classified in the following categories: Visors, Bug Shields/Hood Protectors,
Running Boards, Tonneau Covers, and Other Appearance Accessories.

In September 1997 the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the
Company's fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31, with a transition period
ending on December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased 3.6% to
$10,027,911 from $10,406,421 for the same period last year. The net sales
decrease was primarily due to lower unit sales in the visor, hood protector and
runningboard lines, which were partially offset by higher sales in tonneau and
grille covers. The decrease in unit sales of these three product categories were
a result of the Company's customers reducing orders of the maturing product
lines in anticipation of the introduction of new lines during fiscal 1998.

Gross profit margins for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were 33.9%
compared to 32.2% for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit
margins primarily resulted from operating efficiencies realized with the
internalization of outside production, principally in the fiberglass area, and a
product mix favoring higher margin products. These increases were partially
offset by higher freight costs.

General and administrative expenses were $1,172,680 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, compared to $939,398 for the same period last year, which
represented an increase of 24.8%. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses were 11.7% for the three months ended September 30,
1997, compared to 9.0% for the same period last year. The increase in general
and administrative expenses resulted primarily from higher salary expense, an
increased provision for inventory reserves and third party consulting expenses
in the implementation of Lund's new computer system. The increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales is also related to the net
sales decrease.

On September 9, 1997, Harvest Partners, Inc., a private investment firm,
purchased 38% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from the
Company's former Chairman of the Board and his family. In conjunction with this
transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-recurring charge of $1,174,299.
This charge included $600,000 paid to the former Chairman of the Board for a

<PAGE>


covenant not to compete and severance and $574,299 for investment banking,
legal, accounting and other related expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses were $1,549,787 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, compared to $1,508,683 for the same period last year, which
represented an increase of 2.7%. As a percentage of net sales, selling and
marketing expenses were 15.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to 14.5% for the same period last year. The increase primarily resulted
from increases in customer advertising costs and display expense offset by lower
new product support and promotional sponsorship costs. The increase in selling
and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales is primarily related to the
net sales decrease.

Research and development expenses were $347,788 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, compared to $312,004 for the same period last year. As a
percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 3.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 3.0% for the same period last
year. The increase in expenses primarily resulted from increased personnel and
product material to support both new product and application development,
increased operating lease expenses and higher computer system costs as the
Company is incorporating CAD/CAM design capabilities in its product development
process.

Primarily as a result of the loss for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
due primarily to the non-recurring transaction charge recorded during the three
months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded an income tax benefit
during the current quarter. This tax benefit was negatively affected by certain
non-deductible transaction costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has generally funded its operations to date from operating cash
flow. The Company had working capital of $25,133,914 including cash and
marketable securities of $12,684,030 as of September 30, 1997, compared to
$26,142,460, including cash and marketable securities of $13,944,049 as of June
30, 1997. The decrease of $1,260,019 in cash and marketable securities and the
decrease of $1,008,546 in working capital was principally due to cash payments
for non-recurring transaction fees and Industrial Revenue Bond interest and
principal payments during the quarter.

The Company believes that its existing cash and internally generated funds will
be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future. If the Company makes significant future
acquisitions, however, it may be required to raise funds through bank financing
or the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no guarantee that these
funds will be available.

OUTLOOK

A larger portion of automotive aftermarket accessory sales are going through the
large automotive retail chains. In response to these market changes, the Company
launched its new retail distribution program. The initial retail program
roll-out, which began in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 with retail store
testing, will continue for the next eighteen months to two years as the major
retail automotive chains review and integrate light truck accessory sales into
their current product offerings. The Company expects the retail segment will
account for a larger percentage of sales in the future.

<PAGE>


The delays in designing, producing and shipping the visor and tonneau cover
product lines resulted in reductions of sales in the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The Company completed re-engineering and testing of the
visors and began shipping the Solar and Lunar visor lines for the full size
light duty trucks in the latter part of this quarter. Market penetration of the
new visor may be slower than originally anticipated due to customer concerns
caused by original product design problems. As a result of decreasing sales in
its primary hood protector line, Lund introduced the Avenger and Defender
product line to broaden its product offerings. The new hood protectors began
shipping during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and will begin to impact sales
numbers with increased market penetration during the second calendar quarter of
1998. The Company began shipping its new hard tonneau cover line during the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and is completing tooling on its
re-engineered snapless tonneau, which is expected to begin shipping early in the
last calendar quarter of 1997.

The Company is implementing a new computer system and will complete
implementation during the quarter ending December 31, 1997. The Company believes
the additional features and controls will provide an information platform for
future internal and external growth. In conjunction with the computer system
implementation, the Company is currently implementing a QS9000 quality program
and expects to be certified by December 1998 for both its Oklahoma and Minnesota
locations. The quality certification is critical to original equipment
manufacturing customers such as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors.

The Company plans to leverage its current brand awareness and take advantage of
the fragmented automotive accessory market by executing an aggressive
acquisition program. The acquisition strategy will focus on the light truck
accessory aftermarket by increasing market share of the Company's current
product categories, adding additional product categories, product capabilities,
or distribution capabilities.

Over the last two fiscal years, the demand and prices for raw material products,
including plastic resins, fiberglass and corrugated packaging, have stabilized.
The Company anticipates a small price increase in plastics and packaging, which
are not expected to significantly impact the Company's gross profit margins.

On September 16, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the
Company's fiscal year-end from June 30 to December 31, with a transition period
ending on December 31, 1997.
