See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 6 AETNA INDUSTRIES, INC. (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF MS ACQUISITION CORP.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) (UNAUDITED) 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. 6 7 AETNA INDUSTRIES, INC. (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF MS ACQUISITION CORP.)

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements 10 11 MS ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) (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").

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).

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: MS Acquisition common stock $ 10,000 MS Acquisition's shareholders' deficit at March 31, 1998 (27,565) --------------- Excess purchase price $ 37,565 ===============

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. 19 20 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.

20 21 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. 23 24 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. 24 25 PART II.
