Item 7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
AND EXHIBITS
(a) The historical financial statements of the Registrant have been filed in
Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Registrant and Report of
Independent Accountants dated April 1, 1999 are incorporated by reference.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
JPE, INC. (d/b/a ASCET INC)
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect
to the following transactions:
o An investment to acquire approximately 95% of the voting securities of JPE,
Inc. ("Registrant" or "Company") on May 27, 1999 by ASC Holdings LLC
("ASC") and Kojaian Holdings LLC ("Kojaian") in equal proportions for total
consideration of $18,400,000 (the "Investment").
o A debt forgiveness of $16,487,029 from the Company's existing bank lenders
(the "Bank Group") in exchange for approximately 1% of the voting
securities of the Company (the "Bank Debt Forgiveness"). The debt
forgiveness will be accounted for as an extraordinary item in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999.
o The execution of the reorganization plans of Company's subsidiaries,
Plastic Trim, Inc. ("PTI") and Starboard Industries, Inc. ("Starboard")
which were confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 16, 1999. Certain
vendors of these subsidiaries agreed to accept 30% of their pre-bankruptcy
account balances constituting a forgiveness of liabilities of approximately
$3,793,000 (the "Bankruptcy Debt Forgiveness").
o The sale of Industrial & Automotive Fasteners, Inc. ("IAF"), the
Registrant's fastener business segment, is being accounted for as
discontinued operations. The beginning balances have been restated to
eliminate the accounts of IAF.
The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 1999 reflects
the Investment, the Bankruptcy Debt Forgiveness, and Bank Debt Forgiveness
transactions as if they were completed on March 31, 1999. The Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 reflect the transactions as
if they had been completed as of January 1, 1999 and January 1, 1998,
respectively.
The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results which would
actually have been reported if these transactions had occurred on such dates or
which may be reported in the future. The pro forma data should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of Registrant and the
related notes to such financial statements.
The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of JPE, Inc.
is a preliminary estimate. The actual allocation, when finalized, might be
different than the preliminary estimate.

g) To record borrowings utilized to retired JPE remaining debt, after the Bank
Debt Forgiveness, of approximately $47.9 million. In addition, funds were
borrowed of approximately $4.4 million to pay balances owed the pre-
bankruptcy unsecured creditors and fees and accrued interest associated
with the termination of JPE's financing.
h) To reduce the capital accounts of JPE, Inc. to reflect the 4% interest of
the JPE, Inc.'s shareholders, of $46,000, which represents approximately 4%
of shareholders' equity before the ASC and Kojaian investment.
i) To record the value of the 422,601.437 warrants to purchase First Series
Preferred Shares issued to JPE's public shareholders and the Bank Group at
estimated fair value of approximately $293,000.

amounts assigned to assets acquired less liabilities assumed.
