NEW NOTES
 
     On December 7, 1998 the Company entered into a purchase agreement to issue
$250 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2008 (the "New Notes"). The New Notes will be issued in a transaction which
is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Rule
144A promulgated thereunder. The New Notes will be general unsecured obligations
of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to senior indebtedness of the
Company, pari passu with an aggregate of $250 million of the Company's 11%
Senior Subordinated Indebtedness due 2006 and pari passu with an aggregate of
$400 million of the Company's 9 1/8% Notes due 2007 and senior in right of
payment to any current or future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The
New Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, as
to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, jointly and
severally by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the New
Notes is payable in arrears on June 15 and December 15 commencing June 15, 1999.
 
     The Indenture governing the New Notes (the "New Notes Indenture") limits,
among other things: (i) the incurrence of additional domestic and foreign
indebtedness, with certain exceptions; (ii) the making of any Restricted Payment
(as defined in the New Notes Indenture); (iii) the incurrence of other senior
subordinated debt; (iv) the creation of certain liens; (v) entering into certain
transactions with affiliates; (vi) the creation of subsidiaries; (vii) the sale
of assets; (viii) the issuance of common stock of subsidiaries; and (ix) the
merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The New Notes Indenture also provides that a holder of the New Notes may, under
certain circumstances, have the right to require that the Company repurchase
such holder's New Notes upon a change of control of the Company.
 
                                        2

     The New Notes will mature on December 15, 2008 and may not be redeemed
prior to December 15, 2003; provided, however, that the Company may, at any time
and from time to time prior to December 15, 2001, redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the New Notes at a price equal to 108.125% of the
aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of redemption, with the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the New Notes
Indenture) of one or more Equity Offerings (as defined in the New Notes
Indenture) where the proceeds to the Company of any such Equity Offering are at
least $35.0 million, provided that at least $162.5 million aggregate principal
amount of the New Notes remain outstanding. On or after December 15, 2003, the
Company may, at its option, redeem the New Notes in whole or in part, on at
least 30 days' notice but not more than 60 days' notice to each holder of the
New Notes, at the prices during the twelve-month periods set forth below,
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date:

</TABLE>
 
     The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and have declared effective under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange
the New Notes for notes of the Company which will have terms substantially
identical to the terms of the New Notes (except that the exchange notes will not
contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions). The Company is also
obligated to consummate such exchange offer before August 16, 1999.
 
     The proceeds from the New Notes will be used to repay certain outstanding
indebtedness under the Company's existing senior credit facility in anticipation
of the Company's pending acquisition of CMI. Upon the consummation of the CMI
Acquisition, the Company intends to enter into a new $1.1 billion senior secured
credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") providing for (a) term loan
borrowings of up to $675 million (which will be partially reduced by the
proceeds of the offering of the New Notes), to be used to acquire CMI and to
repay certain indebtedness of CMI and the then-existing senior indebtedness of
Hayes, and (b) a $425 million revolving credit facility.
 
CMI ACQUISITION
 
     On November 19, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") under which the Company will acquire all of the
outstanding capital stock of CMI. Following the merger, CMI will become the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company will
pay an aggregate of $605 million for CMI, of which approximately $154 million
will be used to repay CMI's outstanding indebtedness, and the balance will be
paid to CMI's existing stockholders.
 
     The consideration to be paid in the acquisition (including the repayment of
CMI's existing indebtedness) and the fees and expenses of the acquisition are
expected to aggregate $609 million. Such amounts are expected to be provided
under the Company's New Credit Facility.
 
     The acquisition is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain
conditions, including the expiration or earlier termination of the applicable
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended, and the receipt of the proceeds of the financing under the New
Credit Facility. The Company expects the acquisition to be completed late in the
fourth quarter of the Company's 1998 fiscal year or early in the first quarter
of the Company's 1999 fiscal year. However, there can be no assurance that the
CMI Acquisition will be consummated at that time, if at all.
 
CMI
 
     CMI and its joint ventures operate a total of 16 facilities, which are
located primarily in the midwestern United States, Mexico and Norway. CMI
directly operates eight manufacturing facilities, including two aluminum
foundries, one ductile iron foundry, one polymer facility, one facility that has
both aluminum
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
casting and injection molded polymer capabilities and three dedicated machining
and assembly centers. Through A-CMI, CMI's joint venture with ALCOA, CMI
operates three additional aluminum foundries. CMI and Digitron, Inc. have formed
Digitron-CMI LLC, a joint venture which provides additional machining services.
CMI's design, engineering, sales and marketing facility currently supports all
of CMI's facilities and joint ventures. CMI and its joint ventures currently
have approximately 4,000 employees.
 
     CMI focuses its design, manufacturing and finishing competencies on a
select group of products, including: (i) wheel-end attachments and assemblies
such as steering knuckles, spindles, hub carriers and suspension arms; (ii)
undercarriage components such as structural cross members, subframes, engine
cradles and axle assemblies; and (iii) engine components such as intake
manifolds, exhaust manifolds, cylinder heads and engine blocks. CMI's principal
customers are original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of passenger cars and
light trucks, including Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, which accounted for
approximately 44%, 24% and 13% of trade sales, respectively, for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1998. In calendar 1997, CMI supplied components for over 50
different passenger car and light truck platforms and its products were used in
eight of the ten best-selling vehicles in North America. For the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1998, CMI had total sales of $573.9 million, EBITDA (as defined
below) of $88.3 million and net income of $22.4 million.
 
     CMI emphasizes technological innovation in its efforts to enhance quality,
reduce costs and improve lead times. This enables CMI to manufacture
high-precision, lightweight components that meet the high quality, low-cost
requirements of its automotive customers. CMI's focus on quality is evidenced by
the ISO 9001 and QS 9000 certification at each of CMI's eligible operating
locations and is supported by CMI's total quality management system that
emphasizes planning, control and continuous improvement processes.
 
     Hayes believes that CMI will continue to generate steady and consistent
growth through, among other factors, increased utilization of lighter weight
materials, corner module potential, product line extension and geographic
expansion.
 
CMI ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     As automotive suppliers continue to consolidate worldwide, the Company
intends to strengthen and expand its leadership position to meet the global
sourcing, quality and engineering requirements of its customers. The CMI
Acquisition is expected to create significant growth opportunities for the
Company, resulting from the following:
 
     - the combination of the Company's brake products with CMI's suspension and
       structural components, leading to the development of a corner module for
       automotive applications. In the module concept, vehicles will be designed
       and built in modules, which will then be assembled into the entire
       vehicle. The corner module consists of the wheels, mechanical brake
       components and various suspension, wheel-end and structural components;
 
     - the expansion of the market the Company serves from the $6 billion wheel
       market to the $50 billion market for corner components and assemblies;
 
     - the strengthening of the Company's position with key automotive customers
       in a rapidly consolidating market;
 
     - the utilization of the global presence of the Company to expand CMI's
       sales outside of North America;
 
     - the ability to share innovative products and processes across passenger
       cars, light trucks and commercial highway vehicles worldwide; and
 
     - the exploitation of growth opportunities in the rapidly expanding market
       for aluminum and lightweight materials.
 
In addition to these strategic benefits, the Company believes that the CMI
Acquisition will ultimately result in annual cost savings of at least $42
million, primarily as a result of synergies, including the consolidation of
selling, general, administrative and engineering facilities, improvement of
manufacturing productivity, combination of purchasing power and an increase in
sales by combining the marketing efforts of the two companies.

Although the Company believes that the CMI Acquisition will be completed late in
the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year or early in the first quarter of
the Company's 1999 fiscal year, there can be no assurance that the acquisition
will occur at that time, or at all.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company believes that it is well-positioned to realize growth in sales,
EBITDA and net income. The Company plans to develop its position as a leading
supplier of corner modules to the global transportation industry by integrating
its operations with those of CMI. The Company expects to maintain its leadership
position by continuing to offer innovative new products to increase sales and
enhance operating results. The Company expects to continue its growth and
enhance its market leadership by continuing to implement a strategy based on the
following elements:
 
          - SYSTEMS APPROACH. Due to the Company's broad manufacturing
            capabilities and product offerings, the Company is one of a small
            number of manufacturers with the ability to act as a single-source
            supplier of corner module and suspension components. In addition,
            the Company is committed to becoming a provider of complete corner
            modules for its OEM customers. The Company believes that OEMs are
            increasingly seeking to reduce the number of suppliers from which
            they source parts and to develop relationships with suppliers that
            can offer integrated systems and modules. The CMI Acquisition will
            expand the Company's aluminum product lines and would add product
            lines for corner module components and intake and exhaust manifolds.
            The CMI Acquisition will be a major step toward the Company's
            strategic goal of developing corner modules for its OEM customers.
 
          - ENHANCING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH OEMS AND PURSUING NEW
            CONTRACTS. In a marketplace that is becoming increasingly global and
            in which the supply base is rapidly consolidating, the Company has
            developed strong relationships with its OEM customers and intends to
            continue to build upon these relationships. This will enable the
            Company to identify business opportunities in the early stages of
            vehicle design. The Company has established a leadership position as
            an OEM supplier of automotive and commercial highway wheels and
            brakes by maintaining an excellent reputation for quality, service
            and innovation. CMI has developed a similar position by offering
            innovative lightweight solutions for wheel-end, suspension and
            structural components, as well as engine components. The Company is
            a Tier I Supplier to the OEMs (that is, a supplier that designs,
            engineers, manufactures and conducts quality control tests on its
            products) and the Company believes that this early involvement in
            the design and engineering of new products has afforded the Company
            a competitive advantage in securing new business and will continue
            to do so in the future. The Company has obtained significant firm
            orders on a number of high-volume vehicle platforms for the periods
            1999 through 2001 for incremental new business in North America and
            Europe. In addition, the CMI Acquisition, when and if completed, is
            expected to allow the Company to become a leading supplier of corner
            modules.
 
          - CONTINUING FOCUS ON NEW PRODUCT INNOVATION. The Company believes
            that it has an established reputation for developing product and
            manufacturing process innovations. For example, the Company is the
            leading producer of fabricated aluminum wheels, which are 20%
            lighter than cast aluminum wheels. The Company also has introduced
            Full Face Cast ("FFC(TM)") wheels, which are lightweight, highly
            styled wheels that combine a cast aluminum face with a fabricated
            aluminum rim. The Company is also responsible for several steel
            wheel product and process innovations, including the development and
            introduction of a lightweight steel wheel which is 10% to 15%
            lighter than a traditional steel wheel. The Company intends to
            continue its efforts to develop innovative wheel and brake products
            and manufacturing processes to better serve customers globally and
            improve its product mix with higher margin wheel and brake products.
            CMI, with a world-class technical center in Ferndale, Michigan, also
            has a strong reputation in the industry as a product and process
            innovator. CMI has led the industry in the use of aluminum
            technology for wheel-end, structural and suspension components, as
            well as the use of aluminum and polymers for intake and exhaust
            manifolds.
                                        5
<PAGE>   6
 
          - CAPITALIZING ON COMPLEMENTARY NATURE OF BUSINESSES. The CMI
            Acquisition will provide the Company with the opportunity to expand
            sales and increase market penetration due to the complementary
            nature of the Company's and CMI's businesses. The Company intends to
            improve its future performance by offering automotive customers a
            complete corner module assembly for easy installation in the
            customer's assembly plant. In addition, the Company intends to
            market CMI's innovative products through the Company's customer base
            in areas outside of North America.
 
          - BENEFITTING FROM CONTINUED INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION. The worldwide
            automotive supplier industry is fragmented, particularly in Europe,
            where independent producers dominate. The Company believes that as
            OEMs continue to outsource and reduce the number of suppliers, there
            will be further consolidation in this industry and opportunities for
            further supply of modules to the OEMs. The Company believes that,
            through its established presence in these markets and its strong
            relationships with OEMs worldwide, the Company is in a favorable
            position to take advantage of future industry consolidation. The
            Company has substantial experience in completing and integrating
            acquisitions within the automotive parts industry and believes this
            experience will help it select and pursue acquisition opportunities
            that can enhance its product base, expand its global manufacturing
            network and further capitalize on its customer base and
            technological resources. The Company intends to pursue selected
            acquisition opportunities compatible with its business strategy in
            North America, Europe, South America and Asia that would further
            expand its product offerings or geographical reach.
 
          - ENHANCING PRESENCE IN EMERGING MARKETS. Having established a
            leadership position in North America and Europe, the Company plans
            to enhance its market position in emerging markets. In the past two
            years, the Company has acquired, or taken a majority position at,
            facilities in the Czech Republic, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and
            India. The Company maintains additional strategic manufacturing
            joint ventures in Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Thailand, Canada,
            Turkey and Portugal, as well as technical relationships in Thailand
            and Colombia. The Company believes its worldwide manufacturing and
            strategic joint venture presence will enhance its ability to meet
            the global sourcing needs of its customers.
 
          - CAPITALIZING ON COST-SAVING OPPORTUNITIES. The Company expects
            actions undertaken in connection with the acquisition of Lemmerz
            Holding GmbH ("Lemmerz"), which the Company acquired on June 30,
            1997 (the "Lemmerz Acquisition"), to result in annual cost savings
            of at least $21 million, of which approximately $9 million have been
            realized as of October 31, 1998, and which are anticipated to be
            fully reflected in the Company's fiscal 2000 financial results. As
            described above, the Company anticipates at least $42 million of
            synergies as part of the CMI Acquisition, which synergies, if the
            acquisition is completed, are anticipated to be fully reflected in
            the Company's fiscal 2003 financial results. The Company will
            continue to optimize the use of its manufacturing capacity and seek
            further cost savings.

(a) The pro forma financial data do not reflect any cost savings related to or
    synergies that are anticipated to result from the CMI Acquisition.
 
(b) EBITDA means, for any period, an amount equal to the sum of consolidated net
    income, plus the provision for taxes based on income or profits to the
    extent such income or profits were included in computing consolidated net
    income and any provision for taxes utilized in computing net loss, plus
    consolidated interest expense, plus depreciation, plus amortization, plus
    any other non-cash items (including minority interests) reducing
    consolidated net income, plus non-recurring losses and charges (including
    restructuring charges and costs) whether cash or non-cash to the extent not
    included in the calculation of consolidated net income, minus all non-cash
    items increasing consolidated net income. With respect to the Company, each
    of the foregoing items shall be determined on a consolidated basis with
    respect to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries only. EBITDA should
    not be construed as a substitute for income from operations when analyzing
    the Company's operating performance, financial position and cash flows. The
    Company has presented EBITDA because it is commonly used by investors to
    analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and to
    determine a company's ability to service debt.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CMI International, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CMI
INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of May 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended May 31, 1998. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 consolidated financial position of CMI
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries at May 31, 1998 and 1997 and, the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended May 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Nature of Business
 
     CMI primarily designs, manufactures, assembles and tests cast and molded
products of various metals and polymers for the automotive industry.
 
  Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMI
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CMI). The equity method of accounting
is used to account for investments in 20% to 50% owned affiliates. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
  Accounts Receivable
 
     Generally, a direct write-off of bad debts is made upon determination of
uncollectibility.
 
  Inventories
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out basis.
 
  Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     The assets, including capitalized leases, are carried at cost on the
balance sheet and do not represent replacement or realizable values.
 
     Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Repairs
and maintenance which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets
are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is provided for over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. The straight-line method is generally used
to depreciate real property. Accelerated and straight-line methods are used for
other depreciable assets. Depreciation commences when assets are determined to
be in service. Assets dedicated to a single program are considered to be in
service when substantial production levels have been achieved.
 
     The cost of assets sold, fully depreciated or otherwise disposed of and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income as incurred.
 
     At May 31, 1998 and 1997, CMI had not provided for depreciation or
amortization on the following assets not yet placed in service:

</TABLE>
 
  Goodwill
 
     Assets and liabilities related to business combinations accounted for as
purchases are recorded at fair value. The excess of cost over the net tangible
assets acquired is classified as goodwill and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over fifteen years.
 
  Start-Up Costs
 
     Certain costs of a one-time nature incurred in putting a new facility into
operation or initiating a new process at an existing facility are deferred as
start-up costs. Such costs are in addition to costs which are

                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Start-up costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over 60 months, beginning in the month when production
levels reach approximately 60% of expected volumes.
 
     During the years ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 CMI deferred $327,733 and
$1,615,901, respectively, as start-up costs.
 
     During April, 1998 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities. This pronouncement, which is effective for years beginning after
December 15, 1998, requires that start-up costs be expensed as incurred and that
initial application be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.
 
  Leases
 
     As Lessee: Leases which meet certain criteria are classified as capital
leases, with the related assets and liabilities recorded at amounts equal to the
present value of the minimum payments or the fair value of the leased properties
at the beginning of the respective lease terms. These leases are amortized over
their primary lease term. Lease amortization is included in depreciation
expense. Interest expense relating to the lease liabilities is recorded to
effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases which do
not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals
are charged to expense as incurred.
 
     As Lessor: CMI has an investment in a direct financing lease of an
aircraft. Lease revenues are recognized over the life of the respective lease
using the interest method, and are included in other income.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     CMI International, Inc. files a consolidated United States income tax
return with all its subsidiaries. The tax allocation agreement between the
companies calls for a pro-rata remittance of taxes otherwise payable and the
purchase of tax benefits from utilized net operating losses and tax credits.
 
  Earnings Per Share
 
     Earnings per share on common stock is based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the year. This computation resulted in
4,938,887 shares for 1998, 5,040,575 shares for 1997 and 5,077,533 shares for
1996.
 
  Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts during the reporting period and at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts included in the 1997 and 1996 income statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.
 
NOTE 2 -- NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
     Notes receivable at May 31, 1997 consisted of $3,500,000 receivable from

     Prior to October 30, 1997 the notes payable were secured by substantially
all assets of CMI. Pursuant to agreements on October 30, 1997 the notes payable
became unsecured obligations.
 
     The credit agreements have various covenants which limit CMI's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, invest in other businesses and
merge with other corporations. CMI is also required to maintain certain
financial ratios.
 
     (a) CMI has a credit agreement with a consortium of banks dated October 30,
1997 which provides for unsecured revolving credit of up to $200,000,000. Within
the revolving credit facility is a $10,000,000 swing line exclusively with
Comerica Bank -- Detroit. The revolving credit agreement has a five year
evergreen feature.
 
     The agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on CMI's
behalf. At May 31, 1998 $2,350,000 of such letters of credit were outstanding.
 
     Interest on revolving credit borrowings is payable at prime or at a EURO
adjusted rate, at CMI's option. CMI is required to pay a commitment fee of
 .15%-.35% per annum on the credit line, determined by CMI's funded debt ratio.
Borrowings of $102,000,000 and $104,000,000 at May 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, have

                    CMI INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     At May 31, 1998 CMI had letters of credit outstanding totalling $2,350,000
which guarantee various insurance and financing activities.
 
     CMI is involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including
environmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of its business.
Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty,
management believes that the ultimate liability will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position of CMI.
 
     CMI is self-insured for its workers' compensation and health insurance
programs, subject to specific retention levels. Insurance consultants assist CMI
in determining its liability for self-insured claims.
 
NOTE 12 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject CMI to concentrations of
credit risk are primarily cash, accounts receivable, and the net investment in a
direct financing lease.
 
          (a) CMI primarily places its cash at two major financial institutions.
 
          (b) Domestic automobile manufacturers represented 92% of accounts
     receivable at May 31, 1998 and 82% of sales for the year then ended. CMI
     does not require collateral or other security to support customer
     receivables.
 
          (c) The direct financing lease involves a foreign lessee, and CMI
     holds title to the related property.
 
     The carrying amount of receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximates fair value because of the short duration of these
instruments. The carrying amounts of the revolving credit notes payable
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and variable rates of
interest. The carrying amounts of the term loans approximates fair value.
 
NOTE 13 -- INVESTMENTS
 
     CMI has investments in affiliates that are accounted for on the equity
method. The investments and percentage interest owned at May 31, 1998 are A-CMI
(50%), A-CMI Scandinavia Casting (45%) and Digitron-CMI, LLC (47%). CMI's equity
in the net income (loss) of these unconsolidated affiliates for the years ended
May 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was ($6,040,191), ($3,874,261) and $294,628,
respectively.
 
     A-CMI and A-CMI Scandinavia Casting are engaged in the manufacture of
aluminum products for the vehicular market. Digitron-CMI, LLC, formed during
1998, performs machining of exhaust manifolds and brackets for the vehicular
market.
 
     A summary of the combined totals reported in the financial statements of
these affiliates as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, their respective year
ends, and for the periods then ended is as follows:

NOTE 14 -- BUSINESS COMBINATION
 
     During October 1996, CMI entered into an agreement to purchase the assets
of a polymer products manufacturing venture for approximately $12,000,000. CMI
closed on the purchase of a portion of the assets for $8,475,880 during the year
ended May 31, 1997, and has a commitment to acquire the balance of the assets
before the year 2000. The aggregate purchase price, which was financed through
available cash resources, has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon
their respective fair market values. The excess of the total purchase price over
the tangible assets to be acquired was $3,000,000, and is being amortized over
15 years.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998 AND 1997

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     In the opinion of CMI, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present its financial position as of August 31, 1998 and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31,
1998 and 1997. The statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in CMI's Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended May 31, 1998. The results of operations
for the three months ended August 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
 
(2) INVENTORIES
 
     The major classes of inventory are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
(3) INCOME TAXES
 
     The relationship between income tax expense and pretax income for the
current quarter appears higher than customary primarily due to the minimal
pretax income recorded and the impact of state income taxes.
 
(4) MERGER AGREEMENT
 
     On November 19, 1998, CMI signed a Merger Agreement with Hayes Lemmerz
International (Hayes). Under the terms of the agreement CMI has agreed to enter
into a business combination with Hayes where each outstanding share of the
Company's stock shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive merger
considerations. Pending necessary approvals, the business combination is
expected to be completed on or around February 1, 1999.

                  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations of Hayes for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1998 has been prepared to illustrate the estimated
effect of the 1997 Pro Forma Adjustments and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations of Hayes for the six-month period ended July 31, 1998
has been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the 1998 Pro Forma
Adjustments (the "Pro Forma Statements of Operations"). The Pro Forma Statements
of Operations give effect to both the 1997 Pro Forma Adjustments and the 1998
Pro Forma Adjustments as if they had occurred on February 1, 1997. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet of Hayes as of July 31, 1998 has been prepared
to illustrate the estimated effect of the CMI Acquisition and the offering of
the New Notes as if such transactions had occurred on July 31, 1998 (the "Pro
Forma Balance Sheet" and, together with the Pro Forma Statements of Operations,
the "Pro Forma Financial Statements"). The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not
reflect any anticipated cost savings from the CMI Acquisition, or any synergies
that are anticipated to result from the CMI Acquisition, and there can be no
assurance that any such cost savings or synergies will occur. The Pro Forma
Financial Statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations or financial position of Hayes that would have actually been obtained
had such transactions been completed as of the assumed dates and for the period
presented, or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments are
described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that Hayes and CMI believe are reasonable. The Pro Forma
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical
consolidated financial statements of CMI and the notes thereto included in this
Report.
 
     The CMI Acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price will be
allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CMI based
upon their respective fair values as of the effective time of the CMI
Acquisition based on valuations and other studies which are not yet available. A
preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been made to major categories
of assets and liabilities in the accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements
based on available information. The actual allocation of purchase price and the
resulting effect on income from operations may differ significantly from the pro
forma amounts included herein. These pro forma adjustments represent Hayes'
management's preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and
are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Hayes believes
to be reasonable. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the Pro Forma Financial
Statements are subject to change, and the final amounts may differ
substantially.

    The adjustments for estimated pro forma depreciation and amortization of
    intangible assets and goodwill are based on their estimated fair values.
    Property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful
    lives. Lemmerz depreciated the historical cost of its assets over a
    composite life of 18 years resulting in approximately $28.7 million of
    annual depreciation. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the fair value of
    assets acquired was depreciated over 25 years for buildings and 12 years for
    equipment, consistent with Hayes' depreciation policy for used equipment and
    Hayes' estimate of the remaining economic life of the assets ($15.7 million
    of annual depreciation expense). Other intangible assets and goodwill are
    amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed 40 years.
 
(c) The 1998 Acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of
    accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price for each
    acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and
    liabilities of the acquired companies based upon their respective fair
    values as of the effective date of the acquisition based upon valuations and
    other studies. The following presents the effect of the purchase accounting

(d) The CMI Acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of
    accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price will be
    allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CMI based
    upon their respective fair values as of the effective time of the CMI
    Acquisition based upon valuations and other studies which are not yet
    available. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been made to
    major categories of assets and liabilities based on available information.
    The actual allocation of purchase price and the resulting effect on income
    from operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included

    The adjustments for estimated pro forma depreciation and amortization of
    intangible assets and goodwill are based on their estimated fair values.
    Property, plant and equipment is expected to be depreciated over the
    estimated useful life of the assets. CMI's current annual depreciation
    expense is approximately $38.1 million. Upon consummation of the
    acquisition, the fair value of assets acquired is estimated to be $236.7
    million. This amount will be depreciated over 25 years for buildings and 12
    years for equipment, consistent with Hayes' depreciation policy for used
    equipment and Hayes' estimate of the remaining economic life of the assets
    ($28.3 million of annual depreciation expense). Other intangible assets and
    goodwill are expected to be amortized over their estimated useful lives, not
    to exceed 40 years. For pro forma purposes, a 35-year composite amortization
    life has been used.
 
(e) Represents financial information of certain subsidiaries of CMI which will
    be sold prior to the consummation of the CMI Acquisition.
 
(f) Represents adjustments to interest expense assuming the 1997 Pro Forma
    Adjustments and the 1998 Pro Forma Adjustments occurred on February 1, 1997
