                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
(the "Financial Statements") of Autocam Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (together, the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all the information
and footnotes normally included in the annual consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the Financial Statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly such information in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996.

Weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share for the three
and six months ended December 31, 1995 have been restated to give effect
to a 5% share dividend declared on October 24, 1996 and paid on November
28, 1996 to shareholders of record on November 12, 1996.

RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 in
order to conform with the 1996 presentation.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In October 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which was effective for the Company July 1, 1996.  SFAS
No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require)
compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity
instrument awarded.  Companies are permitted, however, to continue to
apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," which recognizes compensation cost based on the
intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded.  As permitted by SFAS
No. 123, the Company will not apply the disclosure requirements to these
interim financial statements.

SALES - CONTINUED

Sales of components for fuel system applications were $11,165,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 26.9% over
sales for the same period in the prior year, and now represent 73% of
total sales.  Sales of fuel system components were $21,866,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 29.8% over sales for
the same period in fiscal 1996.  The Company continues to benefit from
further penetration into this market through supplying components to
three of the world's largest fuel injector manufacturers.  The Company
has been awarded business on several new injector programs with these
customers which should result in continued sales growth to this industry
for the foreseeable future.  During the three and six month periods of
fiscal 1997 presented, the Company experienced a tripling of sales of
diesel fuel injector components over those of the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1995.  Sales of fuel system components to
Delphi Automotive Systems (a division of General Motors Corporation)
represented 46% of total Company sales during the three and six months
ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended December 31, 1996,
and 47% of total Company sales during the six months ended December 31,
1996.

Sales of anti-lock braking system ("ABS") components for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 were $1,606,000, a 53% decrease from the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.  For the six months ended December 31,
1996, ABS component sales were $3,320,000, a 50% decline from the six
months ended December 31, 1995.  The decline in ABS component sales was
primarily due to the elimination of certain components which were no
longer used on a customer's new generation system.

Sales of medical device components were $1,665,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 101% as compared to the same
period in the prior year.  For the six months ended December 31, 1996,
medical device component sales were $3,293,000, a 112% increase over the
same period in fiscal 1996.  The Company continues to benefit from
increased penetration by its largest medical customer into foreign
markets.  Also, the Company has been shipping components to companies
developing innovative cardiovascular surgery devices which should
contribute significantly to sales growth to these markets in the coming
years.

Sales of components for computer electronic applications were $416,000
during the three months ended December 31, 1996, a 61% decrease from the
same period in fiscal 1996.  For the six months ended December 31, 1996,
computer electronic component sales were $794,000, a 68% decline from
the six months ended December 31, 1995.  Sales of baseplates, a
specialty metal fastener, to manufacturers of suspension assemblies for
rigid disk drives have declined as these components are now being
manufactured primarily by a precision stamping process which is more
economical than the Company's turning process.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996



SALES - CONCLUDED

Management believes that year-over-year sales growth in fiscal 1997 will
approximate 10% and will be generated primarily from growth in sales of
fuel system and medical device components.  Fuel system component sales
growth is expected to be realized on several new injector programs,
including diesel injection programs, primarily with newer customers in
this area.  Growth in sales of medical device components should come
primarily from anticipated increases in demand from new cardiovascular
surgical equipment manufacturers.  On a year-over-year basis, quarterly
sales comparisons of ABS and computer electronic components are expected
to be unfavorable for the remainder of fiscal 1997 as certain customer
systems which utilize components produced by the Company lose market
share and are replaced by newer generation systems.  Management believes
opportunities exist in both markets and is engaged in aggressive market
diversification efforts to replace these sales.  The Company is
currently manufacturing prototype components for two global ABS
manufacturers which should go into production over the next twelve
months.


GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 1996 represented
23.8% of sales verses 21.6% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal
1996.  Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 1996
represented 23.3% of sales versus 22.5% of sales for the same period in
fiscal 1996.  The increases in gross profit margin between the three-
and six-month periods presented can be attributed primarily to improved
margins on the manufacture of certain fuel system and medical device
components, particularly in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  As a
newer fuel system program moved into the production phase and the
Company began shipping prototype components to another fuel system
customer, margins improved as equipment and labor put in place over the
past year was more fully utilized.  Also, the Company's continuous
improvement methodology applied to these programs streamlined
manufacturing processes, thereby reducing costs.  Profit margins were
also enhanced by increased production of components to medical device
customers which allowed for improved utilization of existing equipment
and labor.

Management believes that gross profit as a percentage of sales for the
remainder of fiscal 1997 will approximate that which was reported during
the first half of the fiscal year.  Margins are expected to be
positively impacted by increased equipment utilization due to higher
production volumes of newer fuel system and medical device components.
In addition, on-going efforts to streamline the manufacturing process
for these components will positively impact the Company's profit margin.
However, this improvement is expected to be offset by an
underutilization of equipment previously used to produce ABS and
computer electronic components.  Substantially all of this equipment
will be redeployed in the manufacture of other components subsequent to
fiscal 1997.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
were consistent in all periods presented; however, such costs increased
slightly on a monetary basis in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996 levels.
Management expects that selling, general and administrative expenses, as
a percentage of sales, will remain at, or slightly below, the level
experienced in the six months ended December 31, 1996 for the remainder
of the fiscal year.


OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Other operating expenses represent the straight-line amortization of
employment and deferred compensation agreements between the Company and
a key employee.


INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE, NET

Net interest and other expense for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1996 decreased $12,000 and $55,000, respectively, from the
same periods in the previous year.  Average borrowings outstanding
during the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 were lower than
the same periods in fiscal 1996 explaining a majority of the decreased
expense.  The retirement of certain debt with higher interest rates also
reduced interest costs.

Management anticipates that interest expense, as a percentage of sales,
over the next six months will approximate levels experienced in the
first six months of fiscal 1997.


TAX PROVISION

Income tax has been provided at rates of 34.9% for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1996.  Income tax has been provided at
rates of 34.5% and 34.4% for the three and six months ended December 31,
1995, respectively.  Tax provisions for both periods include a provision
for California Unitary tax which is levied on an allocated portion of
the Company's net income at a rate of 9.3%.

Management expects the Company's effective tax rate to approximate 35%
for the remainder of fiscal 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generated $6.6 million in operating cash flows during the
six months ended December 31, 1996, a 25% increase over the same period
in the prior year.  This can be attributed primarily to improved
profitability and the collection of certain past due accounts receivable
during the first quarter which were outstanding at June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - CONCLUDED

During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company paid $297,000
to purchase equipment formerly leased under operating lease agreements.
These purchases, resulting in annual cash flow improvement of $70,900,
were financed through bank borrowings.  New equipment placed into
service and deposits paid on future equipment purchases during the six
months ended December 31, 1996 totaling $4.8 million were financed
through operating cash flows and bank borrowings.  In order to meet
demand primarily from fuel systems customers, management anticipates
acquiring $7.9 million of equipment through the end of fiscal 1997 (on
which deposits of $3 million had been placed as of December 31, 1996).
The Company expects that certain assets currently held under an
operating lease agreement will be purchased during the next six months
at an estimated cost of $750,000.  It is expected that debt service
requirements incurred for such purchases will be less than the current
rental payments under the equipment leases.

Management expects to finance equipment purchases with cash on hand,
operating cash flows, and its equipment line of credit ($5,250,000 in
availability as of December 31, 1996) which allows the Company to retire
borrowings over a period not to exceed six years with either variable
(7.75% per annum at December 31, 1996) or fixed interest rates.

Management believes that the Company has adequate credit facilities and
cash available to meet its working capital needs over the next six
months.  The Company has a $6,500,000 revolving line of credit,
$1,500,000 of which was reserved for foreign currency futures contracts
as of December 31, 1996, resulting in a remaining availability under
this credit facility of $5,000,000.  Management anticipates retiring
current maturities of long-term obligations with cash on hand ($2.2
million as of December 31, 1996) and future operating cash flows.  None
of the $15.4 million in total debt at December 31, 1996 is presently
subject to variable interest rates.
