                   Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Plan Administrator of
  the Lear Seating Corporation
  401(k) Plan for Hourly 
  Employees of the Fenton Plant:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
LEAR SEATING CORPORATION 401(K) PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES OF THE FENTON PLANT
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the six
months ended December 31, 1992. These financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the six months ended December
31, 1992 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

As explained in the notes thereto, information presented in the schedule of
assets held for investment purposes and the schedule of reportable transactions
that accompany the Plan's financial statements does not disclose the
historical cost of certain investments.  Disclosure of this information is
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                   FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES OF THE FENTON PLANT

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)     PLAN DESCRIPTION

           General
                
                Effective July 1, 1992, Lear Seating Corporation (the Company)
                   established the Lear Seating Corporation 401(k) Plan for
                   Hourly Employees of the Fenton Plant (the Plan). The
                   following description of the Plan provides only general 
                   information. Participants should refer to the Plan
                   agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
                   provisions.

           Eligibility

                All full-time hourly employees of the Fenton Plant who have
                   completed 75 days of service are eligible to participate in
                   the Plan effective the first day of the month following
                   completion of the Plan's eligibility requirements.

           Contributions

                Contributions to the Plan are made as follows: 

                   Employee Contributions - Participants may elect to defer from
                      1% to 16% of their compensation each Plan year, subject to
                      Plan limitations. The amount of compensation participants 
                      elect to defer through payroll deductions is contributed
                      to the Plan by the Company on their behalf.

                   Employer Contributions - The Company makes contributions on
                      behalf of each eligible employee. The contribution formula
                      is based on the number of hours worked by the individual.

           Administration

                The Plan administrator is responsible for general
                   administration of the Plan for the exclusive benefit of Plan
                   participants and their beneficiaries, subject to the specific
                   terms of the Plan agreement. Assets of the Plan and related
                   investments are administered by the Plan's trustee, Delaware
                   Charter Guarantee and Trust Company. It is the trustee's 
                   responsibility to invest Plan assets and to distribute
                   benefits to participants.

        Vesting of Benefits

        Participants are immediately 100% vested in their contributions
           and earnings thereon regardless of length of service. Participants
           become vested in employer contributions and earnings thereon at a 
           rate of 50% after completion of one year of service, 75% after two 
           years, and 100% after three years of service or upon retirement, 
           total and permanent disability or death.

        Plan Forfeitures

        Forfeitures of participants' nonvested portion of employer      
           contributions, as determined in accordance with the Plan provisions,
           are available to reduce future employer contributions.

        Distribution of Benefits
        
        Distribution of benefits is made upon the occurrence of any one
           of the following:

                Normal retirement of the participant at age 65;

                Deferred retirement of the participant beyond age 65;

                Early retirement of the participant at age 55;

                Total and permanent disability of the participant;

                Death of the participant; and

                Termination of employment.
                
        Benefits payable upon normal, deferred or early retirement,
           total and permanent disability or death are made in either a lump sum
           or an annuity. Benefits due upon termination of employment are based
           on vested amounts in the participants' accounts and are made in 
           either a lump sum or an annuity. A terminated participant will 
           receive the distribution within one year after termination of 
           employment.

        The accompanying Statements of Assets Available for Benefits
           include amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have withdrawn
           from participation in the earnings and operations of the Plan. These
           amounts were paid subsequent to yearend and totaled $4,153 and 
           $152 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

                   FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES OF THE FENTON PLANT

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Continued)


                Priorities Upon Termination of the Plan
                  In the event of complete discontinuance of employer
                    contributions or if the Plan is totally or partially
                    terminated, the accounts of the participants affected by
                    such actions shall thereupon become 100% vested and
                    nonforfeitable. The Company currently has no intention to
                    terminate the Plan.

                Loans to Participants
                   Loans to participants are allowed if the Plan administrator
                      determines that such loans are permitted under the
                      provisions of the Plan. Interest is charged at a
                      reasonable rate, based on the duration and purpose of the
                      loan. Repayment of any loan is made through employee
                      payroll deductions, generally over a period of five years
                      or less. There were no outstanding loans as of December
                      31, 1993 and 1992.

                Hardship Withdrawals
                   No amounts may be withdrawn from a salary deferral account
                      before a participant terminates employment with the
                      Company or attains the age of fifty-nine and one-half,
                      except by reason of financial hardship. All requests for
                      hardship withdrawals require the consent of the Plan
                      administrator.


        (2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                Basis of Accounting
                   Accounting records are maintained by the Trustee on the
                      accrual basis of accounting.

                Investments
                   Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date
                      basis. Investments owned are reflected in the Statement
                      of Assets Available for Benefits at current value.
                      Current value, which is equivalent to market value, is
                      the unit valuation of the security at yearend. Realized
                      losses on sales of investments and unrealized
                      appreciation and depreciation in the value of investments
                      are computed based on the difference between the market
                      value of Plan assets at the beginning of the Plan year,
                      or at time of purchase if acquired during the year, and
                      the market value of investments when sold or at Plan
                      yearend. The historical cost certain investments and the
                      net gain or loss on the sale of certain investments is
                      not readily determinable from the Trustee's statements.

        Expenses

                All direct costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
                   Plan are paid by the Company.

(3)     TAX STATUS

        The Company has not yet requested a determination letter from the 
           Internal Revenue Service to indicate that the Plan is in 
           compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
           Code (the Code). However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax
           counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being 
           operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
           Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related
           trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
           Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the 
           accompanying financial statements.
