1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Aetna Industries, Inc. ("Aetna") is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
MS Acquisition Corp. ("MS Acquisition") and is a wholly-owned direct
subsidiary of Aetna Holdings, Inc. ("Aetna Holdings") and has two
wholly-owned subsidiaries Aetna Export Sales Corp. ("Export") and Aetna
Manufacturing Canada Ltd ("Aetna Canada"). MS Acquisition is a holding
company that was formed for the sole purpose of purchasing Aetna and does
not have any significant operations, other than its investments in its
subsidiaries assets, or liabilities, other than preferred stock, junior
subordinated debentures and accruals resulting from stock acquisition
transactions.
MS, Holdings, Export and Canada have fully and unconditionally guaranteed
the 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2006 issued by Aetna in an aggregate principal
amount of $85,000,000 (the "Senior Notes"). Separate financial statements
or other disclosures relative to Aetna Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada
have not been presented as management has determined that such information
is not material to investors.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Aetna Industries, Inc. (Aetna) have been prepared in accordance with Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. All adjustments, which include only normal recurring
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods, have been made. The
results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with Aetna's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 28, 1997.
On April 14, 1998, Aetna's parent, MS Acquisition, completed a combination
with Societe Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A.,
a French societe anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with
the Combination, Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding
capital stock of Sofedit to MS Acquisition in exchange for: (i) promissory
notes of MS Acquisition in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii)
dividends in an amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares
of Series B Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of MS Acquisition;
(iv) 3.0 million shares of Common Stock of MS Acquisition, and (v) the
assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt of such former
stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately 75% of
the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of MS Acquisition as a result of
the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered to be the
acquirer of, and the predecessor to, MS Acquisition.

(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
MS Acquisition Corp. ("MS Acquisition") is a holding company that was
formed for the sole purpose of purchasing Aetna Industries, Inc. ("Aetna")
and does not have any significant operations, other than its investment in
its subsidiaries, assets or liabilities, other than preferred stock, junior
subordinated debentures and accruals resulting from stock acquisition
transactions. MS Acquisition has four direct and indirect U.S.
subsidiaries, Aetna, Aetna Holdings, Inc. ("Aetna Holdings"), Aetna Export
Sales Corp. ("Export") and Aetna Manufacturing Canada Ltd ("Aetna Canada").
It does not have any other direct or indirect U.S. subsidiaries.
MS, Holdings, Export and Canada have fully and unconditionally guaranteed
the 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2006 issued by Aetna in an aggregate principal
amount of $85,000,000 (the "Senior Notes"). Separate financial statements
or other disclosures relative to Aetna Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada
have not been presented as management has determined that such information
is not material to investors.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
MS Acquisition have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
All adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of
operations for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997.
On April 14, 1998, MS Acquisition completed a combination with Societe
Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French
societe anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the
Combination, Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding
capital stock of Sofedit to MS Acquisition in exchange for: (i) promissory
notes of MS Acquisition in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii)
dividends in an amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares
of Series B Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of MS Acquisition;
(iv) 3.0 million shares of Common Stock of MS Acquisition, and (v) the
assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt of such former
stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately 75% of
the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of MS Acquisition as a result of
the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered to be the
acquirer of, and the predecessor to, MS Acquisition.
As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, the financial statements included herein for December 31, 1997
and for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 represent the
historical information of Sofedit, as predecessor. The consolidated balance
sheet at September 30, 1998 represents the consolidated financial position
of Sofedit and MS Acquisition. The statements of operations and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 represent the nine month
financial data of Sofedit, plus six months of financial data of MS
Acquisition (from April 1,1998). On a pro forma basis, MS Acquisition had
net sales of $526.4 million and $513.9 million, and pre-tax income (loss)
of ($7.9) million and $6.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Therefore, the
purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of
MS Acquisition, based upon independent appraisals and management estimates.
The initial purchase price allocations were based on preliminary estimates
of fair market value and are subject to revision. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair market value of assets and liabilities
aggregated $60,454 and has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized
over forty years.
Estimated fair value:

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
28, 1997
NET SALES: Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $32.3 million, or 29.1%
lower than third quarter 1997 sales of $45.6 million. Production sales of $27.6
million in the third quarter of 1998 were down $16.9 million from $44.5 million
in the third quarter of 1997, due to the planned ramp-up of the new Grand
Cherokee and the eight-week strike at General Motors. Tooling and prototype
sales were up $ 3.6 million for the same period. Also contributing to the
decrease was the phase out of short-term customer factory assist work.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $(0.2) million, or (.7)% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 1998 compared to $ 4.6 million, or 10.0% of net sales, for the
same period in 1997. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of
the impact of the UAW strike General Motors (GM) and the ramp-up of the Grand
Cherokee production in May.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
third quarter of 1998 were $4.6 million, or 14.1 % of net sales, compared to $
4.7 million, or 10.2% of net sales, for the same period in 1997. The increase is
due principally to ongoing launch costs for Saturn, WJ and CAMI platforms, and
costs incurred relative to quote preparation for a significant OEM platform with
worldwide launch planned for model year 2002.
17
18
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $3.6
million, or 11.2% of net sales, compared to $2.7 million or 6.0% of net sales
for the same period in 1997. Interest expense was impacted by higher levels of
short-term debt used to finance the launch of the Saturn and WJ programs,
production inefficiencies increased during the GM strike and the planned ramp-up
of the Jeep Grand Cherokee production.
INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit in the third quarter of 1998 was $3.2
million with an effective tax rate of 37.5% as compared to a credit of $1.1
million with an effective tax rate of 40.0% for the same period in 1997.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28,
1997
NET SALES: Net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 1998 were $132.6
million, down from the $149.4 million reported for the nine months ended
September 28, 1997. Production sales decreased $22.9 million, while tooling and
prototype sales increased $ 6.1 million for the same period.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $11.4 million, or 8.6% of net sales, for the nine
months ended September 27, 1998 compared to $18.7 million, or 12.5 % of net
sales, for the same period in 1997. The decline in gross profit was primarily
due to the strike at GM and the transition to the new Grand Cherokee. The eight
week GM strike that occurred from June through early August of this year
resulted in approximately $5.3 million of lost revenue with an estimated $0.8
million loss in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
nine months ended September 27, 1998 were $13.7 million, or 10.3% of net sales,
compared to $12.4 million, or 8.3% of net sales, for the same period in 1997.
The increase was due principally to the interruption of production sales during
the GM strike along with ongoing launch costs for Saturn, WJ and CAMI platforms,
and costs incurred relative to quote preparation for a significant OEM platform
with worldwide launch planned for model year 2002.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the nine months ended September 27,1998
was $9.7 million, or 7.3% of net sales, compared to $8.0 million or 5.4% of net
sales for the same period in the prior year. Working capital requirements
necessary to fund tooling expenditures relating to the three major program
launches resulted in higher interest expense year over year. The full effect on
sales of these new jobs will be realized in 1999 as two of the new platforms are
launched by the fourth quarter of 1998 and the third platform is planned to
launch in the second quarter of 1999.
INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit for the nine months ended September 27, 1998
was $4.0 million with an effective tax rate of 33.7% as compared to a credit of
$ 0.7 million with an effective tax rate of 40.0% for the same period in the
prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Aetna's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to
meet required debt payments and to complete planned maintenance and expansion
expenditures.
18
19
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
At September 27, 1998 there was $1.4 million available under the Senior
Revolving Credit Facility. Management currently anticipates that its operating
cash flow, together with available borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit
Facility, will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, capital
expenditure requirements, and interest requirements on debt obligations.
The terms of the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued
contains certain restrictive covenants which include restrictions on the
ability of Aetna, Aetna Canada and Export from paying dividends or making
certain other payments to Aetna Holdings or MS Acquisition.
CASH FLOWS
Net cash flows used for operations for the nine months ended September 27, 1998
aggregated $17.4 million. This compares to net cash used for operations of $ 2.8
million for the same period in 1997. The decrease is due primarily to lower net
income and increase in tooling inventory, partially offset by increased
depreciation and amortization expenses.
Net cash flows used for investing activities aggregated $18.1 million for the
nine months ended September 27, 1998 as compared to $9.1 million for the same
period in 1997 and consists principally of capital expenditures. The major
capital projects during 1998 have been the renovation of Plant 7 which will be
used to stamp the majority of the new Saturn LS jobs and the purchase of
equipment for the start up of the Aetna Manufacturing Canada plant in London,
Ontario serving CAMI's J II platform.
Net cash flows provided by financing aggregated $35.5 million for the nine
months ended September 27, 1998 as compared to $8.1 million for the same period
in the prior year and in both cases represented increases in the Senior
Revolving Credit Facility.

MS ACQUISITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On April 14, 1998, MS Acquisition completed a combination with Societe
Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French societe
anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the Combination,
Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding capital stock of
Sofedit to MS Acquisition in exchange for: (i) promissory notes of MS
Acquisition in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii) dividends in an
amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred
stock ($27.0 million stated value) of MS Acquisition; (iv) 3.0 million shares of
Common Stock of MS Acquisition, and (v) the assumption of approximately $12.0
million of debt of such former stockholders. The Combination has been accounted
for as a reverse acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own
approximately 75% of the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of MS
Acquisition as a result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is
considered to be the acquirer of, and predecessor of MS Acquisition.
As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the
financial statements included herein for December 31, 1997 and for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 represent the historical information of
Sofedit, as predecessor. The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1998
represents the consolidated financial position of Sofedit and MS Acquisition.
The statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 represent the nine month financial data of Sofedit, plus six months of
financial data of MS Acquisition (from April 1, 1998).
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, MS Acquisition's
statement of operations expressed as a percentage of net sales. This table and
subsequent discussions should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of MS Acquisition
included elsewhere herein.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997
NET SALES: Net sales were $151.0 million, up from the $108.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Net sales in Europe were up 9% in the
third quarter 1998 from 1997, or 5.8% excluding the effects of foreign exchange.
The increase in European sales was due to both a general growth in the car
market and to the launch of new products in 1997 which reach full production in
1998.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $10.0 million, or 6.6% of net sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $9.8 million, or 9.0% of net sales,
for the same period in 1997. The decrease in gross profit was due to higher
launch costs and related manufacturing inefficiencies.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
nine months ended September 30,1998 were $10.7 million, or 7.1% of net sales,
compared to $5.4 million, or 4.9% of net sales, for the same period in 1997.
Increased costs were due to increased project team activity and the
reinforcement of the current management structure.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1998
was $6.7 million, or 4.4% of net sales, compared to $2.8 million, or 2.6% of net
sales in the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense is
due principally to the Combination.
INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit for the three months ended September 30,
1998 was $5.3 million with an effective tax rate of 45.3% as compared to a
credit of $1.4 million with an effective tax rate of 204.4% for the same period
in the prior year. The change in the effective tax rate was due to a reduction
in the French research & development tax credit.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1997
NET SALES: Net sales were $473.3 million, up from the $364.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in net sales is primarily
attributable to the Combination with MS Acquisition, which had sales of $79.5
million for the six months since the date of Combination. The remaining increase
of $29.3 million is due primarily to increased sales at Sofedit, partially
offset by the negative effect of currency fluctuation.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $46.0 million, or 9.7% of net sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $44.5 million, or 12.2% of net
sales, for the same period in 1997. The gross profit decrease, as a percentage
of sales, is due primarily to higher launch costs and related manufacturing
inefficiencies.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
nine months ended September 30,1998 were $28.2 million, or 5.9% of net sales,
compared to $19.4 million, or 5.3% of net sales, for the same period in 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
was $15.6 million, or 3.3% of net sales, compared to $8.2 million, or 2.3% of
net sales in the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense
is due principally to the Combination.
21
22
INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
was $ 3.9 million with an effective tax rate of 46.5% as compared to a provision
of $1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 14.7% for the same period in the
prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
MS Acquisition's primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations
and short-term and long-term debt, including the sale of receivables. MS
Acquisition's principal use for these funds is to finance working capital needs,
debt payments and planned maintenance and expansion activities. The Company's
liquidity is affected by both the cyclical nature of its business and its level
of net sales. The Company believes that operating cash flow and its line of bank
credit will be sufficient to cover its short-term and long-term capital
expenditures and debt payment obligations. Nevertheless, MS Acquisition's
ability to meet these liquidity demands will depend upon future operating
performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and
financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond MS
Acquisition's control.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At September 30, 1998, MS Acquisition had available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities totaling $22.0 million, compared to $11.6 million at
December 31. At September 30, 1998, MS Acquisition had current assets of $324.3
million, compared to $358.6 million in current liabilities, giving it negative
working capital of $34.3 million, compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 1997.
At September 30, 1998, MS Acquisition had $1.4 million available under its
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Aetna, MS Acquisition, Aetna
Holdings, Aetna Export Sales Co., Aetna Canada and NBD Bank (the "Senior
Revolving Credit Facility"). Restricted cash of $10.7 million at September 30,
1998 represents cash held by Sofedit in a mutual fund until February 1999 to
warranty an additional line of credit for Aetna Industries.
On September 30, 1998, short-term debt consisted of a line of credit of $11.7
million, promissary notes of $40.9 million, discount on the notes of $1.3
million, assumed debt of $12.0 million and notes payable of $47.9 million.
Long-term debt consisted of Senior notes of $85.0 million, long-term bank loans
of $66.1 million, leasing contracts of $34.2 million and junior debt of $8.6
million.
CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.2 million compared to $26.2
million in the same period of the prior year. The principal reason for the
decrease in cash provided by operating activities is attributable to lower net
income, tooling inventory increases, partially offset by increased depreciation
and amortization.
Net cash used for investing activities was $41.0 million and $19.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The change was
due principally to increased capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing was $16.5 million compared to cash used of 5.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. This
change was principally due to an increase in line of credit borrowings in 1998.
22
23
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION
Since substantial portions of MS Acquisition's activities are carried out in
Europe, MS Acquisition is actively preparing for the introduction of a single
European currency. After January 1, 1999, MS Acquisition will be required, upon
the request of any party with which it transacts to use the euro as a currency
of payment in its European commercial activities in certain financial
transactions and in dealings with administrative bodies. On the basis of
currently available information, MS Acquisition does not expect that expenses to
be incurred in connection with the introduction of the euro as a currency of
payment for MS Acquisition will have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of MS Acquisition.
YEAR 2000
MS Acquisition has conducted a review of its computer systems to identity those
areas that may not be Year 2000 compliant and is developing a plan to resolve
the issue. MS Acquisition believes that by modifying existing software and
obtaining new releases of licensed software, the Year 2000 transition can be
carried out without significant operational expenses or significant investments
in computer systems improvements. On the basis of currently available
information, MS Acquisition does not expect that expenses be incurred in
connection with the continuing identification of systems which are not Year 2000
compliant and with their replacement or upgrade will have a material adverse
impact on the results of operations or financial position of MS Acquisition.
There can be, however, no assurances of the absence of any disruptions in MS
Acquisition's own systems or those of its customers and suppliers. MS
Acquisition considers that sufficient resources have been dedicated to address
these issues in a timely manner.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments. This statement is not expected to have a material effect
on MS Acquisition's financial position or results of operations.
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 98-5 ("SOP") 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities.
This statement prescribes accounting treatment for start-up activities and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. This statement is
not expected to have a material effect on MS Acquisition's financial position or
result of operations.
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS 132"), "Employers' Disclosure
about Pension and Other post-Retirement Benefits." SFAS 132 revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other post-retirement benefit plans but does not
change the measurement or recognition of those plans. This statement is not
expected to have a material effect on MS Acquisition's financial position or
results of operation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors related to the highly
competitive nature of the automotive supplier industry and its sensitivity to
changes in general economic conditions, the results of financing efforts and
other factors discussed in Aetna's or MS Acquisition's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors could cause MS Acquisition's
actual results during the remainder of 1998 and beyond to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of Aetna
or MS Acquisition. There can be no assurance that additional sources of
financing will not be required during the next twelve months as a result of
unanticipated cash demands or opportunities for expansion or acquisition,
changes in growth strategy or adverse operating results. There can be no
assurance that any additional funds required, whether within the next twelve
months or thereafter, will be available to Aetna or MS Acquisition on
satisfactory terms.
