                   10.875% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2014

                    INTEREST PAYABLE JUNE 15 AND DECEMBER 15

The 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 offered hereby were issued on or
about [          ], 2004 in exchange for the 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2014 originally issued on June 10, 2004. We refer to the notes issued in the
exchange and the original notes collectively as "notes."

The notes mature on June 15, 2014.  Interest on the notes offered hereby accrues
from June 10, 2004 and the first interest payment date will be December 15,
2004.

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time on or
after June 15, 2009 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. In
addition, before June 15, 2007, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings
or contributions at the redemption price set forth in this prospectus. If we
undergo certain changes of control, each holder of the notes may require us to
repurchase all or a part of its notes.

The notes will be our senior subordinated unsecured obligations and will rank
junior to all of our existing and future senior debt, including our new senior
credit facilities. The notes will rank equally with all of our future senior
subordinated unsecured debt. The notes will be guaranteed by Titan Holdings,
Inc., our direct parent company, substantially all of our existing and future
domestic subsidiaries, and one of our foreign subsidiaries, Autocam Europe B.V.
The guarantees will be subordinated to all of the existing and future senior
debt of the guarantors, including our new senior credit facilities.

We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or
automated quotation system.

Certain private equity funds managed by affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. own a
substantial majority of the equity of Micron Holdings, Inc., our parent company.

SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 10 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISKS THAT
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE

This prospectus has been prepared for and will be used by Goldman, Sachs & Co.
in connection with offers and sales of the notes in market-making transactions.
These transactions may occur in the open market or may be privately negotiated
at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sales or at
negotiated prices. Goldman, Sachs & Co. may act as principal or agent in these
transactions. We will not receive any proceeds of such sales.

     We are not currently required to file periodic reports or any other
information required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
However, under the indenture for the notes, we have agreed to furnish to holders
of the notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations, all quarterly and annual financial information that would be
required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if we were required to

                            MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

     Market and industry data included in this prospectus, including all market
share and market size data, are based on estimates of our management. These
estimates have been derived from our management's knowledge and experience in
the markets in which we operate, as well as information obtained from internal
research and surveys, our customers, distributors, suppliers, trade and business
organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. Estimates
about the end use markets for our products and the automotive industry have been
derived from the sources above and from independent industry surveys from CSM
Worldwide Inc., or CSM Worldwide. CSM Worldwide is an independent market
research firm for the automotive industry. Although we believe that these
sources are generally reliable, we have not independently verified data from
these sources or obtained third party verification of market share data and do
not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information. In addition,
data regarding market position and market share within our industry is intended
to provide general guidance but is inherently imprecise. References herein to
our being a leader in a market or product category refers to our having a
leading market share position among "independent" manufacturers, unless the
context otherwise requires. In many cases, the in-house machining operations of
our Tier I customers manufacture similar products to our products. References to
our market position among "independent" manufacturers exclude products produced
by Tier I suppliers. References to the market size of such markets refer to the
entire market, including products produced by our Tier I customers and
independent manufacturers.

     References in this prospectus to

     - Tier I suppliers refer to suppliers, like Delphi Corporation or Visteon
       Corporation, who sell directly to original equipment vehicle
       manufacturers,

     - OEMs refer to original equipment vehicle manufacturers like
       DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company or General Motors
       Corporation, and

     - Tier II suppliers refer to suppliers like us who sell components,
       sub-assemblies and assemblies to Tier I suppliers.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus includes "forward-looking statements," within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act with
respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business and our
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. You can generally identify
forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology like
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans,"
"targets," "likely," "will," "would," "could" and similar expressions.

     All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Many risks
and uncertainties are inherent in our industry and markets. Others are more
specific to our operations. The occurrence of the events described and the
achievement of the expected results depend on many events, some or all of which
are not predictable or within our control. Actual results may differ materially
from the forward looking statements contained in this prospectus.

     Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

     - risks associated with our substantial indebtedness, leverage and debt
       service;

     - risks related to the notes and to high yield securities generally;

     - the cyclical nature of the automotive industry;

     - performance of our business and future operating results;

     - general business and economic conditions, particularly an economic
       downturn;

     - the loss of one or more significant customers;

     - changes in prices in and availability of raw materials;

     - risks of increased competition and pricing pressures in our existing and
       future markets;

     - loss of any key executives;

     - increases in the cost of compliance with laws and regulations, including
       environmental laws and regulations;

     - risks related to our acquisition strategy and integration of acquired
       businesses;

     - fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates;

     - risks associated with international operations;

     - catastrophic loss of any of our key manufacturing facilities;

     - seasonality; and

     - the other risks described as "Risk Factors" beginning on page 10.

     All future written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us
or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We undertake
no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus might not
occur.

leading Tier I automotive parts suppliers. We focus on higher value-added
products and emphasize product categories likely to benefit from technological
innovation. Within each of our product categories, we strive to migrate our
product portfolio up the "value pyramid" described below by focusing on
sub-assemblies, complete assemblies and other products that we believe generate
margins above most of our peers. Our technology and manufacturing know-how
allows us to produce complex parts requiring extremely close tolerances in the
single digit micron range, with one micron equaling 1/88th the width of a human
hair. Given the high performance and safety critical nature of the applications
where our parts are used, our products very often approach zero-defect quality
levels.

     We believe that over 80% of our sales are generated in product categories,
including power steering, fuel injection, airbags and electric motors, where we
hold a number one market position relative to other independent manufacturers.
We believe our scale and precision manufacturing capabilities provide a
significant competitive advantage over our independent competitors, many of
which are smaller and lack the capital or technology to compete effectively with
us. In addition, our scale allows us to pursue long production runs of high
volume parts, enabling us to lower average manufacturing costs. Our in-house
application engineering expertise allows us to fully integrate with customers'
application design and engineering efforts during the prototyping stage, further
entrenching our competitive position. Our expertise has allowed us to achieve
sole-source contracts covering an estimated 80% of our 2003 sales, which we
believe provides greater visibility and stability to earnings and cash flow.

     For the year ended December 31, 2001, we generated total sales of $236.5
million, for the year ended December 31, 2002, we generated total sales of
$275.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2003, we generated total sales
of $323.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, we generated total
sales of $91.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, we generated
total sales of $184.5 million. We believe we are well positioned to continue to
increase our sales as we continue to benefit from favorable industry trends.

OUR PRODUCTS

     Our products include precision-machined automotive components,
sub-assemblies and assemblies. Generally, our products are platform neutral
because they are not tied to any specific OEM models or platforms. We sell our
products principally to North American and European Tier I automotive suppliers,
which integrate these components into their own product offerings. These product
offerings are in turn sold directly to OEMs primarily for the manufacture of new
passenger vehicles and light trucks. A normal product life cycle for our
products is typically five to seven years.

     We specifically target product categories that leverage our unique
competencies and that we expect will further entrench our leading market
positions. To this end, we are guided by a conceptual framework we refer to as
the Autocam "value pyramid." We use the value pyramid to guide decisions
regarding which product categories to target, which new business opportunities
to pursue within

                                        1


each product category and which existing programs to exit. Our ultimate goal is
to move our product offering up the value pyramid. The higher levels of the
value pyramid generally include products where we are involved from the
prototype-stage, specialty products, sub-assemblies, assemblies and selected
products for niche applications. These products typically have the following
characteristics:

     - high engineering and design content;

     - very close manufacturing tolerances at high volumes;

     - use of proprietary manufacturing know-how and specialty manufacturing
       equipment; and

     - high customer switching costs.

     We manufacture and sell over 200 types of precision automotive components
for five primary product categories. Below is an overview of what we believe is
our market position and market share and the market size of our five primary
product categories.

    not take into account products made by Tier I suppliers.

(2) Management estimate of overall market size and our market share, including
    independent and Tier I suppliers.

(3) For purposes of determining market position, market size and market share,
    fuel injection reflects only light-vehicle fuel injection products. Our 2003
    sales includes sales of heavy vehicle fuel injection products.

     We are a leading independent manufacturer of precision-machined components,
sub-assemblies and assemblies in all five product categories in which we
operate.

     - Fuel injection has historically been our largest product category. Within
       the fuel injection product category, we manufacture components like disk
       checks, pole pieces, valves, seat guides, diesel pump bodies, diesel
       cases, sleeves and inlet tubes. These components are integrated into
       products that are sold primarily into the North American operations of
       OEMs.

     - Power steering has historically been our second largest product category.
       Within the power steering product category, we manufacture valve
       assemblies, as well as components like sleeves, torsion bars, input
       shafts, pinions and worms. These components are integrated into products
       that are sold primarily into the European operations of OEMs.

     - Our products within the electric motors product category primarily
       include gears, gear sub-assemblies and worm shafts. These components are
       integrated into products that are sold primarily into the European
       operations of OEMs.

     - Within the braking product category, we manufacture components like
       sleeves, push rods, seats and valve rods. These components are integrated
       into products that are sold into European and North American operations
       of OEMs.

                                        2


     - We entered the airbag market in 2001 when we acquired some of the assets
       of Chicago based Har Technologies, Inc., or Har Technologies, which we
       regarded as a leader in machined airbag components in North America at
       that time. Within the airbag product category, we presently manufacture
       components like collars, adaptors, projectiles, chargeholders and
       diffusers. These components are integrated into products that are sold
       primarily into the North American operations of OEMs.

     In addition to our core product categories, we also manufacture components
and assemblies for other automotive applications and for medical devices.
Components for use in medical devices include hand pieces for use in ophthalmic
surgery and laser cut coronary and aortic stents. Our customers are among the
leaders in their respective markets for ophthalmic surgical devices and
minimally invasive stent delivery systems.

                                INDUSTRY TRENDS

     We primarily operate within the automotive parts industry. The markets in
that industry in which we operate are very fragmented, niche markets where most
of our independent competitors are much smaller. Currently, we believe several
significant existing and emerging trends are impacting the automotive industry.
We believe our business is well positioned to benefit from these trends,
including:

     - Outsourcing Trends by Tier I Suppliers;

     - Increasing Demand for Global Capabilities;

     - Increasing Demand for Safety and Convenience Features;

     - Diesel Fuel Trends; and

     - Continued Penetration of Import Brand OEMs in North America.

                             COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

     - Industry leader in strategically targeted markets;

     - Business visibility supported by long-term contracts;

     - Well entrenched positions with Tier I customer base;

     - Diverse business mix;

     - Culture of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement; and

     - Experienced and motivated management team.

                               BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Our goals are to continue to increase our leading market position and
leverage our manufacturing expertise and customer relationships to increase our
sales and cash flow. Our strategy to achieve these goals includes the following
initiatives:

     - Focus on high growth and higher value-added product offerings;

     - Align sales and marketing efforts with leading Tier I suppliers;

     - Exploit technical manufacturing strength;

     - Continuously pursue productivity improvements and lean manufacturing; and

     - Selectively pursue strategic acquisitions.

                                   THE NOTES

Issuer........................   Autocam Corporation, a Michigan corporation.

Securities Offered............   $140,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
                                 10.875% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

Maturity Date.................   June 15, 2014.

Interest Rate.................   10.875% per annum.

Ranking.......................   The notes will be our general unsecured senior
                                 subordinated obligations, will be subordinated
                                 to our existing and future senior indebtedness
                                 and will rank equally with our future senior
                                 subordinated indebtedness.

                                 In addition, the notes will effectively rank
                                 junior to our secured indebtedness and to the
                                 secured indebtedness of all of our subsidiaries
                                 to the extent of the value of the assets
                                 securing the indebtedness and will be
                                 structurally subordinated to all liabilities of
                                 our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the
                                 notes. Because the notes are subordinated, in
                                 the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or
                                 dissolution, holders of the notes will not
                                 receive any payment until holders of senior
                                 indebtedness have been paid in full.

                                 As of June 30, 2004 (other than intercompany
                                 indebtedness):

                                       borrowings under our new senior credit
                                       facilities, no senior subordinated
                                       indebtedness outstanding other than the
                                       notes and no indebtedness outstanding
                                       that is subordinate to the notes;

                                     - our subsidiaries that guaranteed the
                                       notes had no indebtedness outstanding

                                       indebtedness outstanding, including E62.7
                                       ($75.8 million as of June 30, 2004) of
                                       borrowings under our new senior credit
                                       facilities, and $89.2 million of trade
                                       payables and other liabilities.

                         SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated historical
financial data for each of the years 2001, 2002 and 2003, which have been
derived from the consolidated financial statements of Holdings which have been
audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent public registered accounting
firm, and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004, which have
been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Those columns
denoted as "predecessor" represent statements of operations and balance sheet
data determined using the historical cost basis relevant to our predecessor
shareholders. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial data
includes all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation of this information. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year. The following data should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information."

                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other
information and data included in this prospectus, before deciding whether to
invest in the notes. The risks described below may not be the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations, which may result in your loss of
all or part of your original investment.

RISKS RELATED TO THE NOTES

WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS, WHICH COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO MEET OUR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES AND MAY OTHERWISE RESTRICT OUR ACTIVITIES.

     We have substantial debt and may incur substantial debt in the future. As
of June 30, 2004, we had total indebtedness of approximately $264.7 million,
including the unamortized original issue discount on the notes. In addition, as
of that date, $25.1 million was available for future borrowings under the
multi-currency revolving credit facility and E11.6 million was available to
Autocam France, SARL under the euro denominated revolving credit facility of our
new senior credit facilities. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness -- New
Senior Credit Facilities." We are also permitted under the terms of the notes to
incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future that will intensify the
leverage related risks described below.

     Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For
example, it could:

     - make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the notes;

     - require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments
       on our indebtedness, which would reduce the amount of cash flow available
       to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development and
       other corporate requirements;

     - increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
       conditions, including changes in currency exchange rates;

     - limit our ability to respond to business opportunities;

     - limit our ability to borrow additional funds or refinance existing
       indebtedness, which may be necessary; and

     - subject us to financial and other restrictive covenants, which, if not
       complied with, could result in an event of default.

TO SERVICE OUR INDEBTEDNESS, WE WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH. OUR
ABILITY TO GENERATE CASH DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

     Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, and
to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts will
depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to an extent, is
subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and
other factors, including those described in this "Risk Factors" section, that
are beyond our control.

     We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow
from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our new
senior credit facilities or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to
pay our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the
notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
refinance any of our indebtedness, including our new senior credit facilities
and the notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to
generate sufficient cash flow to refinance our debt obligations,

                                        10


including the notes, on favorable terms, it could have a significant adverse
effect on our financial condition and on our ability to pay principal and
interest on the notes.

THE AGREEMENTS GOVERNING THE NOTES AND OUR OTHER INDEBTEDNESS, INCLUDING OUR NEW
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES, IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON OUR BUSINESS.

     The indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing our new
senior credit facilities contain a number of covenants imposing significant
restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to
operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential
business opportunities as they arise. The restrictions these covenants place on
us and our restricted subsidiaries include limitations on our ability and the
ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

     - incur indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

     - pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

     - make investments or acquisitions;

     - create liens;

     - sell assets;

     - engage in sale and leaseback transactions;

     - restrict dividends or other payments to us;

     - guarantee indebtedness;

     - engage in transactions with affiliates; and

     - consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

     In addition, our new senior credit facilities also require us to meet a
number of financial ratio tests and restrict our ability to make capital
expenditures or prepay certain other indebtedness. We may not be able to
maintain these ratios. These restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or
react to market conditions or meet our capital needs. We cannot assure you that
we will be granted waivers or amendments to these agreements if for any reason
we are unable to comply with these agreements, or that we will be able to
refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

     The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a
default under the indenture governing the notes or our new senior credit
facilities. An event of default under our debt agreements would permit some of
our lenders to declare all amounts borrowed from them to be due and payable. If
we are unable to repay indebtedness, lenders having secured obligations like the
lenders under our new senior credit facilities could proceed against the
collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, if any of our other
indebtedness is accelerated, we may be unable to make interest payments on the
notes and repay the principal amount of the notes.

YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES IS JUNIOR TO OUR
EXISTING AND FUTURE SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS AND THE EXISTING AND FUTURE SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE GUARANTORS.

     The notes and the guarantees rank behind all of our existing indebtedness
and the existing indebtedness of our guarantors. The notes and the guarantees
also rank behind our and our guarantors' future senior indebtedness. As a
result, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of the
guarantors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding
relating to us or the guarantors or our or their property, the holders of our
senior indebtedness and senior indebtedness of the guarantors will be entitled
to be paid in full before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or
the guarantees. Sufficient assets may not remain after these payments to make
any payments on the notes.
                                        11


     In addition, all payments on the notes and the guarantees will be blocked
in the event of a payment default on senior indebtedness, including the new
credit facilities, and may be blocked for up to 179 days of 360 consecutive days
in the event of specified non-payment defaults on senior indebtedness.

     In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar
proceeding relating to us or the guarantors, holders of the notes will
participate with trade creditors and all other holders of our and the
guarantors' subordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining after we and the
subsidiary guarantors have paid all of our and their senior indebtedness.
However, because the senior indebtedness is secured and because the indenture
requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the notes in a bankruptcy
or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior indebtedness instead, holders
of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in the
proceeding. In any of these cases, we and the subsidiary guarantors may not have
sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of notes may receive
less, ratably, than the holders of our senior indebtedness.

THE NOTES ARE NOT SECURED BY ANY OF OUR ASSETS. HOWEVER, OUR NEW SENIOR CREDIT
FACILITIES ARE SECURED AND, THEREFORE, OUR BANK LENDERS HAVE A PRIOR CLAIM ON
SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ASSETS.

     The notes are not secured by any of our assets. However, our new senior
credit facilities are secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of our existing
and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of some of our existing
and future foreign subsidiaries, as well as by substantially all of our assets.
If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under any of the
instruments governing our secured indebtedness is accelerated, the lenders under
these instruments will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a
secured lender under applicable law and pursuant to instruments governing that
indebtedness. Accordingly, the lenders under our new senior credit facilities
will have a prior claim on our assets and on the assets of the guarantors of the
notes. In that event, because the notes are not secured by any of our assets, it
is possible that our remaining assets might be insufficient to satisfy your
claims in full.

AUTOCAM EUROPE B.V., OUR ONLY NON-U.S. SUBSIDIARY WHICH HAS GUARANTEED THE
NOTES, AND HOLDINGS ARE HOLDING COMPANIES WITH NO REVENUE-GENERATING OPERATIONS
OF THEIR OWN. YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES COULD BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED IF ANY OF OUR NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES DECLARE BANKRUPTCY, LIQUIDATE,
OR REORGANIZE; THE NOTES WILL BE STRUCTURALLY SUBORDINATED TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF
OUR NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES.

     Some but not all of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes. The notes
are not guaranteed by any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries other than Autocam Europe
B.V., or Autocam Europe. Autocam Europe does not conduct any business
operations. Autocam Europe's principal assets are shares of Autocam France SARL,
which itself is a holding company. All operations are conducted by subsidiaries
of Autocam France SARL. Accordingly, the obligations under these notes will be
structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries,
including trade creditors. In addition, because Holdings is a holding company
with no operations, its guarantee provides little, if any, additional credit
support for the notes.

     In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our
non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade
creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets
of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to
us. As of June 30, 2004, our non-guarantor foreign subsidiaries had total
indebtedness of $83.8 million, excluding intercompany liabilities. This
represented 31.7% of our total indebtedness as of that date. These non-guarantor
subsidiaries held 61.9% of our consolidated assets as of June 30, 2004 and
accounted for 60.8% of our revenues for 2003.

     Our foreign subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and,
other than Autocam Europe, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay
any amounts due pursuant to the notes,

                                        12


whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that we
or our guarantors have to receive any assets of any of our foreign subsidiaries
upon the liquidation or reorganization of those subsidiaries, and the consequent
rights of holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those
subsidiaries' assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of
creditors of that subsidiary, including trade creditors and holders of
indebtedness of that subsidiary.

     Substantially all of our foreign operations are conducted by non-guarantor
subsidiaries. In order to service our indebtedness we may need to upstream funds
from these foreign subsidiaries. These funds could be made available by way of
intercompany loans, advances, dividends or any other type of distribution
permitted by our new senior credit facilities or the notes. The ability of
Autocam France and its subsidiaries to make distributions may be limited by
financial assistance rules, corporate benefit laws and other legal restrictions
which, if violated, might require us to refund unlawful payments. In particular,
under company law (including the French Civil Code (code civil) and the French
Commercial Code (code de commerce)), our French subsidiaries are generally
prohibited from paying dividends except out of profits legally available for
distribution.

     The ability of Autocam Europe to make distributions is limited by the laws
of the Netherlands. Netherlands law provides that a company may only pay a
dividend to shareholders to the extent its shareholders' equity exceeds the sum
of the amount of the paid and called up portion of the capital and the reserves
which must be maintained under mandatory provisions of Netherlands law and its
articles of association. Any distribution of profits is required to be made
after the adoption or approval of the annual accounts from which it appears that
the dividend is provided. Interim distributions may also be made up to the
amount of Autocam Europe's freely distributable reserves. The ability of a Dutch
company to distribute dividends may be limited or affected on the basis of
fraudulent preference or conveyance or tort, where the payment of dividends
would result in a situation where it is foreseeable that the company will not be
able to pay its creditors.

     Any dividends, if significant, could also eliminate the historical reserves
of some of our subsidiaries and, in that case, our subsidiaries would be
dependent on future earnings to generate sufficient distributable reserves to
pay future dividends.

FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES ALLOW COURTS, UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, TO VOID
GUARANTEES AND REQUIRE NOTE HOLDERS TO RETURN PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM GUARANTORS.

     Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state
fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a
guarantee could be subordinated to all other indebtedness of that guarantor
under specific circumstances, including circumstances where the guarantor, at
the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

     - issued the guarantee to delay, hinder or defraud present or future
       creditors; or

     - received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for
       the incurrence of such guarantee; and

       - was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

       - was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's
         remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

       - intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its
         ability to pay such debts as they mature.

     In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could
be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the
benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

                                        13


     The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws
will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether
a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be
considered insolvent if:

     - the sum of its indebtedness, including contingent liabilities, was
       greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or

     - if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount
       that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing
       indebtedness, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute
       and mature; or

     - it could not pay its indebtedness as it becomes due.

     On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history
and other factors, we believe that each guarantor, after giving effect to its
guarantee of the notes, is not insolvent, does not have unreasonably small
capital for the business in which it is engaged and has not incurred
indebtedness beyond its ability to pay such indebtedness as it matures. We
cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making
these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this
regard.

INSOLVENCY LAWS IN THE NETHERLANDS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT ANY ATTEMPT TO
ENFORCE THE GUARANTEE FROM THIS ENTITY.

     Autocam Europe is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands as a B.V.
Accordingly, any insolvency proceedings concerning it and any of its
subsidiaries may proceed under the laws of the Netherlands. The guarantee given
by Autocam Europe may be subject to review under the relevant provisions of the
Netherlands Civil Code, or NCC, and the Netherlands Bankruptcy Court. A
Netherlands court could nullify the guarantee of Autocam Europe in an insolvency
proceeding under circumstances similar to those discussed above for U.S.
companies.

     Pursuant to the NCC, a B.V. may not provide security or assist through any
contractual arrangements, including the granting of guarantees, the subscription
or acquisition by third parties of shares in its share capital or depository
receipts. This prohibition also applies to its subsidiaries. Under the NCC, a
B.V. may only grant loans with a view to the subscription or acquisition by
third parties of shares in its share capital or depository receipts to the
extent of its freely distributable reserves and to the extent so permitted by
its articles. While the nature and scope of the relevant provision of the NCC is
heavily debated in Netherlands legal literature and there is no definitive case
law in the Netherlands on point, the prevailing view is that the NCC should be
restrictively interpreted and that it should not apply in a situation where the
parent company is not incorporated under Netherlands law and the prohibition of
the NCC should not extend to its subsidiaries incorporated under Netherlands law
like Autocam Europe. However, we can give no assurances of the interpretation by
a court in the Netherlands of this provision.

WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RAISE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO FINANCE ANY CHANGE
OF CONTROL OFFER REQUIRED BY THE INDENTURE.

     Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will
be required to offer to repurchase all notes at 101% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. In
addition, if there is a change in control as defined in our new credit
facilities, we will be required to prepay all amounts outstanding under our new
senior credit facilities and to cancel the multi-currency and euro denominated
revolving credit facilities of our new senior credit facilities. The definitions
of change of control in the indenture and our new senior credit facilities are
similar but are not identical. Under some circumstances, there may be a change
in control for purposes of our new credit facilities but not for purposes of the
notes. Also, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time
of the change of control to make the required repurchase of notes and repay our
new senior credit facilities or that restrictions in our new senior

                                        14


credit facilities will not allow these repurchases. In addition, certain
important corporate events, like leveraged recapitalizations that would increase
the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a change of control under
the indenture governing the notes. See "Description of Notes -- Repurchase at
the Option of Holders."

THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES, AND WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT A
MARKET FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES WILL DEVELOP.

     The Initial Purchasers have advised us that they presently intend to make a
market in the exchange notes as permitted by applicable law. No Initial
Purchaser is obligated, however, to make a market in the exchange notes and any
market-making may be discontinued at any time in the sole discretion of the
Initial Purchasers. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading
market for the exchange notes, or the ability of the holders of the exchange
notes to sell their exchange notes or the price at which such holders may be
able to sell their exchange notes. An active market for the exchange notes may
not develop or be sustained. If an active public market does not develop or
continue, the market price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely
affected.

     Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been volatile in
terms of price. It is possible that the market for the exchange notes will be
volatile. This volatility in price may affect your ability to resell your
exchange notes or the timing of their sale.

     Notwithstanding the registration of the exchange notes, holders who are
"affiliates" (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of us may
publicly offer for sale or resale the notes only in compliance with the
provisions of Rule 144 or any other exemption under the Securities Act.

     Because we may be deemed to be an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
following completion of the exchange offer required by the registration rights
agreement, Goldman, Sachs & Co. will be required to deliver a current
"market-maker" prospectus and otherwise comply with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary market sale
of the exchange notes, which may affect its ability to continue market-making
activities. Following completion of the exchange offer, we have agreed to make a
"market-maker" prospectus available to Goldman, Sachs & Co. to permit it to
engage in market-making transactions. However, the registration rights agreement
also provides that at any time after completion of the exchange offer, we may
allow the market-maker prospectus to cease to be effective and usable if our
board of directors determines in good faith that that action is in our best
interest or the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As result, the liquidity of the secondary market for the exchange
notes may be materially adversely affected by the unavailability of a current
"market-maker" prospectus following the exchange offer.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE DEPEND UPON GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND
ARE HIGHLY CYCLICAL.

     Our financial performance depends on conditions in the global automotive
industry, and, generally, on the North American and European economies. Our
sales to customers in the automotive and light-duty truck industries accounted
for substantially all of our sales in 2003. Demand in the automotive industry
fluctuates significantly in response to overall economic conditions and is
particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels, consumer confidence
and fuel costs. Any sustained weakness in demand or downturn in the economy
generally could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

     Our sales are also impacted by inventory levels and OEM production levels.
We cannot predict when OEMs will decide to either build or reduce inventory
levels or whether new inventory levels will

                                        15


approximate historical inventory levels. This may result in variability in our
performance. Uncertainty regarding inventory levels has been exacerbated by
favorable consumer financing programs initiated by OEM manufacturers which may
accelerate sales that otherwise would occur in future periods. In addition, we
have historically experienced sales declines during the OEMs scheduled
shut-downs or shut-downs resulting from unforeseen events. Continued uncertainty
and other unexpected fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial condition.

     The Tier I supplier industry is also cyclical, and in large part, dependant
on the overall strength of consumer demand for various types of motor vehicles.
A decrease in consumer demand for motor vehicles in general or specific types of
vehicles could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.

OUR BASE OF CUSTOMERS IS CONCENTRATED AND THE LOSS OF BUSINESS FROM A MAJOR
CUSTOMER OR A CHANGE IN AUTO CONSUMER PREFERENCES OR REGULATIONS COULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON US.

     Because of the relative importance of our largest customers and the high
degree of concentration of OEMs in the North American automotive industry, our
business is exposed to a high degree of risk related to customer concentration.
Our seven largest customers accounted for approximately 72.0% of our sales in
2003 and 73.6% of our sales in the six months ended June 30, 2004. Although we
have long-term contracts with many of our customers, some of our customers are
not subject to long-term contracts or may have the ability to terminate their
contracts with us. The loss of a major customer or a significant reduction in
sales to a major customer could have a material adverse effect on us. Our
customers consist primarily of Tier I suppliers, like Delphi, TRW, ZF and Bosch,
that serve the large OEMs. Accordingly, while sales directly to OEMs accounted
for an insignificant percentage of our sales in 2003 due to our significant Tier
I customer base, adverse performance by or production cuts at these OEMs could
also adversely impact our sales to Tier I suppliers. Our sales and performance
are also influenced by consumer preferences, regulatory changes and OEM new
vehicle financing programs. In addition, government regulations, including those
relating to fuel economy, could impact vehicle content and volume and,
accordingly, have a material adverse impact on us.

INCREASES IN OUR RAW MATERIAL OR ELECTRICITY COSTS OR THE LOSS OF A SUBSTANTIAL
NUMBER OF OUR SUPPLIERS OR A MATERIAL DISRUPTION IN ELECTRICITY SUPPLIES COULD
AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH.

     The most significant raw material used in our business is steel. Generally,
our raw materials requirements are obtainable from various sources and in the
desired quantities. While we currently maintain alternative sources for raw
materials, our businesses are subject to the risk of price fluctuations and
periodic delays in the delivery of various raw materials and component parts.
The domestic steel industry has experienced substantial financial instability
due to numerous factors, including energy costs and the effect of foreign
competition. As a result of various global economic factors and the weakening of
the U.S. dollar, steel prices have been rising, which could have a negative
impact on our financial results in 2004. In addition, a failure by our suppliers
to continue to supply us with various raw materials on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on us. Our electricity
costs are an element of our cost structure. To the extent there are material
fluctuations in electricity costs, our margins could be adversely impacted. Any
material disruption in electricity supplies could delay our production and could
have a material adverse effect on us.

CONTINUING TRENDS AMONG OUR CUSTOMERS WILL INCREASE COMPETITIVE PRESSURES IN OUR
BUSINESSES.

     The markets for our products are highly competitive. Our competitors
include component manufacturing facilities of Tier I suppliers, as well as
independent domestic and international suppliers. Some of our competitors are
large companies with in-house machining operations that
                                        16


have greater financial resources than us. At times, we may be in a position of
competing with some of our own customers, which could have adverse consequences.
We believe that the principal competitive factors for all of our products are
product quality and conformity to customer specifications, design and
engineering capabilities, product development, timeliness of delivery and price.
In addition, our competitors may develop products that are superior to our
products or may adapt more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving
customer requirements. Technological advances by our competitors may lead to new
manufacturing techniques to make our products and make it more difficult for us
to compete. Continuing trends by our customers in many of our markets to limit
their number of outside suppliers may result in increased competition as many
competitors may reduce prices to compete.

     In addition, financial and operating difficulties experienced by our major
customers, and the OEMs that our customers supply their products to, may result
in further pricing pressures on us. Pricing pressure from customers has been a
characteristic of the automotive parts industry for many years. Virtually all
Tier I suppliers have policies of seeking price reductions each year. We have
taken steps to reduce costs and resist price reductions, but price reductions
have impacted our sales and profit margins. We may also be subject to increased
pricing pressures from customers as a result of the fact that our financial
information will become publicly available as a result of the exchange offer. If
we are not able to offset continued price reductions through improved operating
efficiencies and reduced costs, we may lose customers or be compelled to make
price reductions that may have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.

     We are continually exposed to pressure from our customers to extend payment
terms. Currently, customary industry payment terms in the United States are
30-45 days; however, customers routinely request payment terms of 45-60 days. In
Europe, customary terms exceed 90 days. To the extent we are unsuccessful in
resisting our customers attempts to lengthen payment terms, our liquidity may be
adversely impacted.

     We expect competitive pressures in our markets to remain strong. These
pressures arise from existing competitors, other companies that may enter our
existing or future markets and, in some cases, our customers, which may decide
to internalize production of certain items sold by us. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or
with new competitors. Failure to compete successfully could have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; IN ADDITION, WE
MAY BE SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION AND INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS BY
THIRD PARTIES.

     We rely upon proprietary technology and technology advancements to maintain
competitiveness in the market. We generally rely on a combination of unpatented
proprietary know-how and trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, and, to a lesser
extent, patents in order to preserve our position in the market. Because of the
importance of our proprietary know-how, we typically enter into confidentiality
or license agreements with third parties, employees and consultants, and control
access to and distribution of our proprietary information. We have entered into,
and may enter into in the future, other contractual arrangements with employees
and third parties relating to our intellectual property rights.

     Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties
may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. It is difficult
for us to monitor unauthorized uses of our products. The steps we have taken may
not prevent unauthorized use of technology, particularly in foreign countries
where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United
States. Although we enter into confidentiality agreements with third parties to
whom we disclose unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, these
methods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that
others will not independently develop similar know-how and trade secrets. If
third parties take actions that affect our rights or the value of our

                                        17


intellectual property, similar proprietary rights or reputation or we are unable
to protect our intellectual property from infringement or misappropriation,
other companies may be able to use our intellectual property to offer
competitive products at lower prices and we may not be able to effectively
compete against these companies.

     Although we believe that our intellectual property rights are sufficient to
allow us to conduct our business without incurring liability to third parties,
we can give no assurance that claims or litigation asserting infringement by us
of intellectual property rights will not be initiated in the future seeking
damages, payment of royalties or licensing fees, or an injunction against the
sale of our products or that we would prevail in any litigation or be successful
in preventing such judgment. In the future, we may also rely on litigation to
enforce our intellectual property rights and contractual rights and, if not
successful, we may not be able to protect the value of our intellectual
property. Regardless of its outcome, any litigation, whether commenced by us or
third parties, could be protracted and costly and could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.

LOSS OF KEY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COULD WEAKEN OUR BUSINESS EXPERTISE AND OTHER
BUSINESS PLANS.

     Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of our senior management team and technical, marketing and sales
personnel. Our employees, including management, may voluntarily terminate their
employment with us at any time. There is competition for qualified employees and
personnel in our industry and there is a limited number of persons with relevant
knowledge and experience. The loss of any of our key executive officers in the
future could significantly impede our ability to successfully implement our
business strategy, financial plans, expansion of services, marketing and other
objectives. We believe that the growth and future success of our business will
depend in large part on our continued ability to attract, motivate and retain
highly-skilled qualified personnel.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF BEING A REPORTING COMPANY UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT MAY STRAIN
OUR RESOURCES AND DISTRACT MANAGEMENT.

     As a result of the exchange offer, we have filed an exchange offer
registration statement with the SEC and we are subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These requirements
may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that
we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and
financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial
reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting,
significant resources and management oversight will be required. As a result,
management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business. The costs associated with
complying with the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could be material.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO WORK STOPPAGES AT OUR FACILITIES OR AT THE FACILITIES OF
OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD SERIOUSLY IMPACT THE PROFITABILITY OF OUR
BUSINESS.

     As is common in many European and South American jurisdictions,
substantially all of our 1,317 employees in France and 548 employees in Brazil
are covered by country-wide collective bargaining agreements. Although we
believe our relations with these unions are good, there can be no assurance that
future issues with our labor unions will be resolved favorably or that we will
not experience a work stoppage that could materially adversely affect our
business. For example, in April 2004, we experienced a one hour work stoppage by
some employees of our French facilities with respect to compensation
negotiations then in progress. These negotiations have concluded and this
dispute has since been resolved. If our unionized workers were to engage in a
strike, work stoppage or other slowdown in the future, we could experience a
significant disruption of our operations, which
                                        18


could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, if a greater percentage
of our work force becomes unionized, our business and financial results could be
materially adversely affected.

     Many of our direct or indirect customers have unionized work forces.
Strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by OEMs or their suppliers
could result in slowdowns or closures of assembly plants where our products are
included in assembled vehicles. In addition, organizations responsible for
shipping our customers' products may be impacted by occasional strikes. Any
interruption in the delivery of our customers' products would reduce demand for
our products and could have a material adverse effect on us.

OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL.

     As part of our growth strategy, we plan to pursue the acquisition of other
companies, assets and product lines that either complement or expand our
existing business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate any
acquisitions or that any future acquisitions will be able to be consummated at
acceptable prices and terms. We continually evaluate potential acquisition
opportunities in the ordinary course of business, including those that could be
material in size and scope. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks and
factors, including:

     - the focus of management's attention to the assimilation of the acquired
       companies and their employees and on the management of expanding
       operations;

     - the incorporation of acquired products into our product line;

     - the increasing demands on our operational systems;

     - the failure to realize expected synergies;

     - possible adverse effects on our reported operating results, particularly
       during the first several periods after the acquisition is complete;

     - the amortization of acquired intangible assets; and

     - the loss of key employees of the acquired businesses.

     In pursuing acquisitions, we compete against other automotive part
manufacturers, some of which are larger than we are and have greater financial
and other resources than we have. We compete for potential acquisitions based on
a number of factors, including price, terms and conditions, size and ability to
offer cash, stock or other forms of consideration. Increased competition for
acquisition candidates could result in fewer acquisition opportunities for us
and higher acquisition prices. As a company without public equity, we may not be
able to offer attractive equity to potential sellers. Additionally, our
acquisition strategy may result in significant increases in our outstanding
indebtedness and debt service requirements. The terms of the notes and our new
senior credit facilities further limit the acquisitions we may pursue. In
addition, the negotiation of potential acquisitions may require members of
management to divert their time and resources away from our operations.

THE INTEGRATION OF ACQUIRED BUSINESSES MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL COSTS, DELAYS
OR OTHER PROBLEMS.

     We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions without
substantial costs, delays or other problems. We will have to continue to expend
substantial managerial, operating, financial and other resources to integrate
our businesses. The costs of integration could have a material adverse effect on
our operating results and financial condition. These costs include non-recurring
acquisition costs, including accounting and legal fees, investment banking fees,
recognition of transaction-related obligations and various other
acquisition-related costs.

     In addition, the pace of our acquisitions of other businesses may
materially adversely affect our efforts to integrate acquisitions and manage
those acquisitions profitably. We may seek to recruit
                                        19


additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the acquired
businesses, but we may be unable to recruit additional candidates with the
necessary skills.

     Although we conduct what we believe to be a prudent level of investigation
regarding the operating and financial condition of the businesses we purchase,
in light of the circumstances of each transaction, an unavoidable level of risk
remains regarding the actual operating condition of these businesses. Until we
actually assume operating control of these business assets and their operations,
we may not be able to ascertain the actual value or understand the potential
liabilities of the acquired entities and their operations. Once we acquire a
business, the risks we are faced with include:

     - the possibility that it will be difficult to integrate the operations
       into our other operations;

     - the possibility that we have acquired substantial undisclosed
       liabilities;

     - the risks of entering markets or offering services for which we have no
       prior experience; and

     - the potential loss of customers as a result of changes in management.

     We may not be successful in overcoming these risks.

FLUCTUATIONS IN CURRENCY EXCHANGE AND INTEREST RATES MAY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT
OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE COMPARABILITY OF OUR
RESULTS BETWEEN FINANCIAL PERIODS.

     Our operations are conducted by subsidiaries in many countries. The results
of the operations and the financial position of these subsidiaries are reported
in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the
applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our combined financial statements. As
a result, our financial results are impacted by currency fluctuations between
the dollar and the euro and, to a lesser extent, other currencies, which are
unrelated to our underlying results of operations.

     In addition, as of June 30, 2004, $81.5 million, or 30.8%, of our total
indebtedness was denominated in euros. The carrying value of that indebtedness
will fluctuate depending on currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
the euro. To the extent the U.S. dollar declines against the euro, our interest
expenses for our euro denominated indebtedness will increase for financial
reporting purposes. For a description of our pro forma indebtedness after giving
effect to the refinancing transaction, see "Capitalization."

     We are also subject to interest rate risk because we have substantial
indebtedness at variable interest rates. As of June 30, 2004, our interest was
determined on a variable basis on $119.8 million, or 45.3%, of our total
indebtedness. An increase in interest rates of 0.25% will increase our interest
expense under our term loans by $0.3 million per year.

     We incur currency transaction risk whenever we enter into either a purchase
or sale transaction using a currency other than the local currency of the
transacting entity. Further, while we will attempt to repay indebtedness using
cash flows from the same currency under which the indebtedness is denominated,
there are no assurances we will be able to do so. For example, if we are forced
to repay borrowings of ours or our domestic subsidiaries that are denominated in
U.S. dollars with euros, depreciation of the euro against the dollar will make
the debt repayment more costly in euro terms.

     While we may enter into various currency and interest hedging contracts, we
cannot assure you that any hedging transactions we might enter into will be
successful or that shifts in the currency exchange rates or interest rates will
not have a material adverse effect on us.

                                        20


WE ARE SUBJECT TO TAXATION IN MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS.

     We are subject to taxation primarily in the United States, France and
Brazil. Our effective tax rate and tax liability will be affected by a number of
factors, like the amount of taxable income in particular jurisdictions, the tax
rates in these jurisdictions, tax treaties between jurisdictions, the extent to
which we transfer funds to and repatriate funds from our subsidiaries, and
future changes in the law. Our tax liability will be dependent upon our
operating results and the manner in which our operations are funded. Generally,
the tax liability for each legal entity is determined either on a non-
consolidated basis or on a consolidated basis only with other entities
incorporated in the same jurisdiction. In either case, our tax liability is
determined without regard to the taxable losses of non-consolidated affiliated
entities. As a result, we may pay income taxes in one jurisdiction for a
particular period even though on an overall basis we incur a net loss for that
period.

OUR OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES ARE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL, INVESTMENT
AND LOCAL BUSINESS RISKS WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     Approximately 58.3% of our sales in 2003 were derived from sales by our
subsidiaries located outside of the United States and an additional
approximately 7.0% of our sales in 2003 were derived from sales of products
manufactured in the United States that were sold outside the United States. As
part of our business strategy, we intend to expand our international operations
through internal growth and acquisitions. Sales outside of the United States,
particularly sales to emerging markets, are subject to other various risks which
are not present in sales within the United States that can materially affect our
business and financial condition. In addition to currency exchange and tax risks
as discussed above, these risks include:

     - local political and social conditions, including hyperinflationary
       conditions and political instability in certain countries;

     - devaluation of foreign currencies;

     - potential imposition of limitations on conversion of foreign currencies
       into U.S. dollars and remittance of dividends and payment by foreign
       subsidiaries;

     - potential difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables
       through certain foreign local systems;

     - domestic and foreign customs, tariffs and quotas or other trade barriers;

     - increased costs for transportation and shipping;

     - potential difficulties in protecting intellectual property;

     - risk of nationalization of private enterprises by foreign governments;

     - managing and obtaining support and distributions for local operations;

     - potential imposition or increase of restrictions on investment; and

     - required compliance with a variety of laws and regulations.

     We cannot assure you that we will succeed in developing and implementing
policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and
effective manner in each location where we do business. Consequently, the
occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse
effect on our international operations or upon the financial condition and
results of operations.

                                        21


WE MAY INCUR MATERIAL LOSSES AND COSTS AS A RESULT OF PRODUCT LIABILITY AND
WARRANTY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST US.

     We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims
in the event that the use of our current and formerly manufactured or sold
products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property
damage. Although we have not been required to make any material payments in
respect of product liability claims in the past five years, we cannot assure you
that we will not experience any material product liability losses in the future
or that we will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. In addition,
if any of our products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to
participate in a government-required or manufacturer-instituted recall involving
such products. In the automotive industry, each vehicle manufacturer has its own
policy regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating to
its suppliers. However, as we move up the value pyramid and become more
integrally involved in the system design process and assume more of the vehicle
system assembly functions, vehicle manufacturers may begin to look to us for
contribution when faced with product liability claims. A successful claim
brought against us in excess of our available insurance coverage or a
requirement to participate in a product recall may have a material adverse
effect on our business. In addition, we cannot assure you that claims will not
be asserted against us with respect to former businesses disposed of by us,
whether or not we are legally responsible or entitled to contractual
indemnification.

OUR INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY BE INADEQUATE TO PROTECT AGAINST THE POTENTIAL
HAZARDS INCIDENT TO OUR BUSINESS.

     We maintain property, business interruption, product liability and casualty
insurance coverage which we believe is in accordance with customary industry
practices, but we cannot be fully insured against all potential hazards incident
to our business, including losses resulting from war risks or terrorist acts. A
catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of our facilities due to
accident, labor issues, weather conditions, other national disaster or
otherwise, whether short or long-term, could have a material adverse effect on
us. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for some of our
insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, some types
of insurance may become available only for reduced amounts of coverage, if at
all. In addition, there can be no assurance that our insurers would not
challenge coverage for certain claims. If we were to incur a significant
liability for which we were not fully insured or that our insurers disputed, it
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-COMPLIANCE WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.

     Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations governing emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation,
handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other
materials. While we believe that our operations and facilities are being
operated in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental
health and safety laws and regulations, the operation of automotive parts
manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas. There can be no assurance
that we will not incur material costs or liabilities, including substantial
fines and criminal sanctions for violations. In addition, potentially
significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving
environmental and health and safety laws, regulations or requirements that may
be adopted or imposed in the future.

SOME OF OUR MATERIAL CONTRACTS MAY BE TERMINATED FOLLOWING THE ACQUISITION IF WE
DO NOT GAIN THE OTHER PARTY'S CONSENT TO THE ACQUISITION.

     A number of contracts to which we are a party, including leases for some of
our facilities and equipment and contracts for one of our significant customers,
gave the other party to the contract a right to require us to receive consent
from them prior to consummating a transaction which would result in a change of
control. Although receipt of some of these consents was a condition to the
                                        22


closing of the acquisition, Parent waived the failure by the other party to our
contracts to provide the necessary consents under the contracts. There is a risk
that some or all of these contracts may be terminated by the other party.
Termination of these contracts may have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and on our ability to pay principal and interest on the
notes.

WE ARE CONTROLLED BY GSCP 2000, OTHER PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS AFFILIATED WITH GSCP
2000, TRP AND OTHER INVESTMENT VEHICLES AFFILIATED WITH TRP, AND THEIR INTERESTS
AS EQUITY HOLDERS MAY CONFLICT WITH YOUR INTERESTS AS A CREDITOR.

     GSCP 2000, other private equity funds affiliated with GSCP 2000, TRP, and
other investment vehicles affiliated with TRP control, through Parent and
Holdings, our voting interests and have the power to elect a majority of the
members of our board of directors, to change our management and to approve any
mergers or other extraordinary transactions. The interests of GSCP 2000 and TRP
may not in all cases be aligned with your interests as a holder of the notes.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Except for historical information, the
discussions in this section contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section
of this prospectus. Future results could differ materially from those discussed
below. See discussion under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements."

OVERVIEW

     We are headquartered in Kentwood, Michigan, and are a leading independent
manufacturer of extremely close tolerance precision-machined, metal alloy
components, sub-assemblies and assemblies, primarily for performance and safety
critical automotive applications. Those applications in which we have
significant penetration include fuel injection, power steering, braking,
electric motors and airbag systems. We provide these products from our
facilities in North America, Europe, South America and Asia to some of the
world's largest Tier I suppliers to the automotive industry. These Tier I
suppliers include Autoliv, Delphi Automotive Systems, Robert Bosch Corporation,
SMI-Koyo, Siemens VDO, TRW Automotive and ZF GmbH. We believe our manufacturing
space is sufficient to meet the needs of our customer's current programs.

     We focus primarily on higher value-added categories of strategically
targeted markets. The products we manufacture demand expertise typically
exceeding the capabilities of many of our competitors. We produce complex
products in high volumes where required tolerances are in the single digit
micron range with quality levels very often approaching zero defects.

     On June 21, 2004, Micron Merger Corporation, a newly formed entity and
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, merged with and into Holdings with Holdings
continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary
of Parent.

     A number of factors influence our results of operations, including the
following:

     - Our business is directly impacted by light-vehicle production levels,
       primarily in North America and Western Europe. We are also impacted by
       the relative North American market shares of the traditional Big Three
       automakers, DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General
       Motors Corporation. Material changes in either of these factors can have
       a material impact on our sales and profitability levels. Although the
       market shares of the traditional Big Three have been declining over the
       period from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2004, light-vehicle production in
       North America was approximately 15.5 million units in 2001, approximately
       16.4 million units in 2002 and approximately 15.9 million units in 2003.
       In Western Europe, the comparable production rates were approximately
       16.5 million units in 2001, approximately 16.4 million units in 2002 and
       approximately 16.2 million units in 2003. CSM Worldwide forecasts
       production of approximately 16.0 million units in North America and
       approximately 16.2 million units in Western Europe during 2004.

     - A significant portion of our sales and profits resulted from transactions
       denominated in euros. Those sales and profits have been translated into
       U.S. Dollars, or USD, for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the
       value of the USD compared to the euro in 2001, 2002, 2003 and in the
       first six months of 2004 relative to the same periods in the prior years
       positively impacted our reported results. The following table sets forth,
       for the periods indicated, the period end, period average, high and low
       noon New York time buying rate for cable transfers as certified for
       customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York expressed as

                                        31


       U.S. dollars per euro. The noon buying rate of the euro on September 28,
       2004 was $1.23 per euro.

(1) The average rate is the average of noon New York time buying rates on the
    last day of each month during the relevant period.

     - We are routinely exposed to pressure by our customers to offer unit price
       reductions, which is typical of our industry. Through continuous
       improvement and increased efficiencies in our manufacturing and
       administrative processes we have achieved improvements in margins over
       time in spite of these constant pressures.

     Our business and results of operations during 2001, 2002, 2003 and the
first six months of 2004 were affected by the following events:

     - In June 2001, we acquired some assets of Har Technologies, Inc., allowing
       us to expand product offerings to include airbag system components.

     - Effective January 1, 2002, we acquired the minority interest of our
       Brazilian subsidiary, Autocam do Brasil Usinagem Ltda, providing us the
       opportunity to more fully utilize those facilities to produce blanks and
       other labor intensive components for our North American operations
       without having to share the profits with its former minority shareholder.

     - In April 2003, we sold and leased back our Kentwood and Marshall,
       Michigan facilities for $5.8 million, using the proceeds of that sale to
       prepay some of our USD-denominated term indebtedness. Annual lease
       expense under these agreements is $0.6 million.

     - In June 2003, we closed our Chicago, Illinois production facility, moving
       all existing production to our Michigan facilities. Through the
       re-engineering of manufacturing processes and elimination of
       redundancies, we were able to reduce headcount in North America by 15%
       from December 2002 to December 2003.

     - In 2003, we successfully consolidated power steering production lines
       formerly contained within three of our French facilities into one
       facility. Significant costs, including premium freight, outsourcing,
       labor and machinery repairs, were incurred to affect this reorganization.
       This reorganization has and is expected to continue to provide benefits
       in the future, primarily in the area of lower labor costs through
       headcount reductions and improved efficiency.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004

SALES

     Sales increased $8.6 million, or 10.4%, to $91.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 from $83.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2003. Of this increase, $2.8 million was attributable to the increase of the
value of the euro compared to the USD. Excluding the effect of foreign currency
translation and unit price reductions mentioned below, sales for the quarter
increased $7.0 million over the quarter ended June 30, 2003, principally
attributable to the following factors:

     - Increased shipments of electric power-assisted steering products to two
       European customers during the second quarter of 2004;

     - During the latter part of 2003, we began shipping diesel injection
       components to two North American customers seeking to increase their
       penetration of the North American diesel injection market. The benefit
       derived from these incremental 2004 volumes was offset by premium pricing
       earned in the second quarter of 2003 on one of the new product lines
       during the transition from prototype to production volumes; and

     - During the first quarter of 2004, we began shipping production volumes of
       air compressor components to a South American customer.

     These positive developments more than offset the negative impact of unit
price reductions of $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2004 and
decreasing sales to a European power steering systems customer that desourced us
on some products. Our management also elected to discontinue manufacturing some
products with unacceptably low margins.

                                        33


GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased $3.4 million to $14.8 million, or 16.2% of sales,
for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $11.4 million, or 13.8% of sales,
for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The gross profit percentage
improvement can generally be attributed to headcount reductions realized in
North America, primarily as a result of the Chicago, Illinois facility closure,
and in Europe, primarily as a result of the power steering production line
reorganization. Also, we elected to discontinue manufacturing products in Europe
with unacceptably low margins. These positive factors were partially offset by
the negative impact on gross profit of the unit price reductions, the cessation
in 2004 of the premium pricing described above and additional building lease
expense derived from the sale and leaseback of our Kentwood and Marshall
facilities as described above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.9 million to
$12.3 million, or 13.4% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from
$4.4 million, or 5.2% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The
2004 results include $8.1 million in costs associated with the Acquisition,
consisting principally of investment banking fees, management bonuses, and legal
and accounting fees.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

     Net interest expense increased $0.2 million to $2.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003. Interest expense on increased debt levels incurred as a result of the
Acquisition more than offset the favorable impact caused by principal reductions
through regularly scheduled payments and repayments from the proceeds of the
sale and leaseback of the production facilities as described above. In addition,
both the EURIBOR and LIBOR indices decreased in the three months ended June 30,
2004 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003, resulting in lower
interest rates in the second quarter of 2004 relative to the second quarter in
2003.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

     Net other expense increased $1.9 million to $2.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003. The 2004 results include the write-off of $1.9 million in unamortized debt
issue costs associated with our former bank agreement, which was refinanced in
connection with the Acquisition.

TAX PROVISION

     For the three months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded an income tax benefit
of $0.2 million, for an effective tax rate of 6.0%. The decrease of $1.8 million
from the three months ended June 30, 2003 can be attributed to the $6.6 million
decrease in income before taxes when comparing the two periods. Our effective
tax rate for the tax credit was less than the United States statutory rate of
34% due primarily to the French income tax provision, which includes legal
profit sharing contribution expense of $0.6 million. Under French law the legal
profit sharing contribution is assessed on income before taxes, and therefore is
treated by us as a component of our tax provision. In addition, our French
operations recorded $0.4 million in non-deductible expenses in the second
quarter of 2004, thereby increasing our effective tax rate. Finally, French
income taxes are levied at a rate of 35.4% of income before taxes.

                                        34


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004

SALES

     Sales increased $17.7 million, or 10.6%, to $184.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 from $166.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003. Of this increase, $9.9 million was attributable to the increase of the
value of the euro compared to the USD. Excluding the effect of foreign currency
translation and unit price reductions mentioned below, sales for the six-month
period increased $10.2 million over the six months ended June 30, 2003,
principally attributable to the following factors:

     - Increased shipments of electric power-assisted steering products to two
       European customers during the first half of 2004;

     - During the latter part of 2003, we began shipping diesel injection
       components to two North American customers seeking to increase their
       penetration of the North American diesel injection market. The benefit
       derived from this development was partially offset by premium pricing
       earned in the second quarter of 2003 on one of the new product lines
       during the transition from prototype to production volumes; and

     - During the first quarter of 2004, we began shipping production volumes of
       air compressor components to a South American customer.

     These positive developments more than offset the negative impact of unit
price reductions of $2.4 million during the first half of 2004 and decreasing
sales to a European power steering systems customer that desourced us on some
products. We also elected to discontinue manufacturing some products with
unacceptably low margins.

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased $7.1 million to $31.1 million, or 16.8% of sales,
for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $24.0 million, or 14.4% of sales,
for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The gross profit percentage improvement
can generally be attributed to headcount reductions incurred in North America,
primarily as a result of the Chicago, Illinois facility closure, and in Europe,
primarily as a result of the power steering production line reorganization. In
addition, equipment move, severance and other costs incurred during the six
months ended June 30, 2003 in connection with the closing of the Chicago,
Illinois facility were $1.1 million. These costs were not repeated in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Also, we elected to discontinue
manufacturing products in Europe with unacceptably low margins. These positive
factors were partially offset by the negative impact on gross profit of the unit
price reductions and additional building lease expense derived from the sale and
leaseback of the production facilities as described above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $8.6 million to
$17.3 million, or 9.4% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from
$8.7 million, or 5.2% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The 2004
results include $8.2 million in costs associated with the Acquisition,
consisting principally of investment banking fees, management bonuses, and legal
and accounting fees.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

     Net interest expense decreased $0.2 million to $4.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003. The favorable impact on interest expense caused by principal reductions
through regularly scheduled payments and repayments from the proceeds of the
sale and leaseback of the production facilities as described above more than
offset the negative impact of increased debt levels incurred as a result of the
Acquisition. In addition,

                                        35


both the EURIBOR and LIBOR indices decreased in the six months ended June 30,
2004 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, resulting in lower
interest rates in the first half of 2004 relative to the first half of 2003.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

     Net other expense increased $1.9 million to $3.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The 2004 results include the write-off of $1.9 million in unamortized debt issue
costs associated with our former senior credit facility, which was refinanced in
connection with the Acquisition.

TAX PROVISION

     For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded an income tax provision
of $3.2 million, for an effective tax rate of 59.6%. Our effective tax rate was
more than the United States statutory rate of 34% due primarily to the French
income tax provision, which includes legal profit sharing contribution expense
of $1.2 million.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

SALES

     Sales increased $48.1 million, or 17.5%, to $323.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 from $275.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2002. Of this increase, $34.7 million was attributable to the increase of the
value of the euro compared to the USD. Excluding the effect of foreign currency
translation and price reductions described below, sales for the year increased
$18.8 million over the prior year, principally attributable to the following
factors:

     - Increased shipments of electric power-assisted steering products to two
       European customers during 2003; and

     - During 2003, we began shipping new diesel injection components to a North
       American customer seeking to increase its penetration of the North
       American diesel injection market.

     These positive developments more than offset the negative impact during
2003 of unit price reductions of $5.4 million and declining sales to a European
power steering systems customer that desourced us on some products.

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit decreased $0.7 million to $43.1 million, or 13.3% of sales,
for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $43.8 million, or 15.9% of sales, for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in gross profit percentage can be
primarily attributed to the effects of the following:

     - We granted annual unit price reductions as referenced above.

     - We incurred premium freight, outsourcing, consulting services and
       machinery repair costs in 2003 in connection with the European power
       steering line reorganization. Some of these costs were offset by labor
       productivity improvements that occurred late in 2003.

     - We incurred $1.5 million in equipment move, severance, building lease
       termination and other costs associated with closing the Chicago facility
       in 2003.

     - We incurred an additional $0.5 in building lease expense in 2003 as a
       result of the sale and leaseback of our Kentwood and Marshall facilities
       as referenced above.

     These decreases were partially offset by the favorable impact of labor
savings resulting from significant headcount reductions in North America during
2003, primarily as a result of the Chicago facility closure.

                                        36


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million to
$17.6 million, or 5.4% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $16.7
million, or 6.1% of sales, during the year ended December 31, 2002. Of this
increase, $1.4 million was attributable to the increase of the value of the euro
compared to the USD. Excluding the increase of the value of the euro compared to
the USD, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million
from 2002 to 2003, primarily as a result of the elimination of redundant costs
for administrative labor and other expenses previously incurred at the Chicago
facility. The elimination of these costs resulted in selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreasing in 2003 as
compared to 2002.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

     Net interest expense decreased $4.0 million to $9.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 from $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Borrowings were reduced through scheduled principal payments, as well as from
the proceeds of factoring an additional approximately $2.1 million of European
accounts receivable without recourse and the sale and leaseback of our Kentwood
and Marshall, Michigan facilities. In addition, both the EURIBOR and LIBOR
indices decreased when comparing the periods, resulting in lower interest rates
in 2003 relative to 2002. These factors were partially offset by an increase of
$1.0 million attributable to the increase of the value of the euro compared to
the USD.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

     Net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased $1.9
million to $4.4 million from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
A portion of this increase resulted from expenses incurred in connection with
our termination of a lease on some of the production equipment utilized by the
former Chicago facility. Process improvements implemented in connection with the
closing and relocation of production to the Kentwood and Marshall facilities
rendered that equipment obsolete. In addition, foreign currency transaction
losses were $0.7 million higher in 2003 relative to 2002 due to the increase of
the value of the euro compared to the USD.

TAX PROVISION

     For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded income tax expense of
$4.7 million, for an effective tax rate of 40.2%. Our effective tax rate
exceeded the United States statutory rate of 34.0% due primarily to the
recording of French legal profit sharing contribution expense as described
above.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

SALES

     Sales increased $38.6 million, or 16.3%, to $275.1 million from $236.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Of this increase, $5.7 million was
attributable to the increase of the value of the euro compared to the USD.
Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and price reductions
described below, sales for the year increased $37.5 million over the prior year,
principally attributable to the following factors:

     - Light-vehicle production rates in North America were 5.5% greater in 2002
       than 2001.

     - Our acquisition of some assets of Har Technologies introduced airbag
       components to our product offerings, adding $12.8 million in incremental
       sales in 2002.

     - Units shipped to two European customers increased significantly during
       2002 as OEMs electric power-assisted steering products gained wider
       acceptance in the market place.

                                        37


     These positive developments more than offset the negative impact of unit
price reductions of $4.6 million.

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased $9.1 million to $43.8 million, or 15.9% of sales,
for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $34.7 million, or 14.7% of sales, for
the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in gross profit percentage can be
primarily attributed to the following:

     - In accordance with the implementation of Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
       effective January 1, 2002, no goodwill amortization expense was recorded
       in 2002, which positively impacted the comparison of gross profit between
       2001 and 2002 by $3.4 million.

     - Increased production volumes in North America and Europe allowed for the
       improved utilization of existing equipment and facilities.

     - We received price concessions totaling $1.7 million from North American
       raw material suppliers in 2002, which positively impacted the gross
       profit percentage in that period relative to 2001.

     These positive effects were partially offset by annual unit price
reductions of $4.6 million.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million to
$16.7 million, or 6.1% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $16.4
million, or 6.9% of sales, during the year ended December 31, 2001. Of this
increase, $0.4 million was attributable to the increase of the value of the euro
compared to the USD. Excluding this increase, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

     Net interest expense decreased $1.3 million to $13.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002 from $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Borrowings were reduced through scheduled principal payments as well as from the
proceeds of factoring approximately $9.0 million of European accounts receivable
without recourse which we used to repay borrowings. In addition, both the
EURIBOR and LIBOR indices decreased when comparing the periods, resulting in
lower interest rates in 2002 relative to 2001. These factors were partially
offset by an increase of $0.4 million attributable to the increase of the value
of the euro compared to the USD.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

     Net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased $0.9
million to $2.5 million from $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Our European operations recorded losses on the disposal of equipment that were
$1.6 million greater in 2001 as compared to 2002. On January 1, 2002, we
acquired the minority interest of our Brazilian subsidiary, thereby eliminating
minority interest expense of $0.3 million in 2001. These factors were partially
offset by foreign currency transaction losses which were $0.5 million higher in
2002 relative to 2001 due to the increase in the value of the euro compared to
the USD.

TAX PROVISION

     For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded income tax expense of
$4.6 million, for an effective tax rate of 41.5%. Our effective tax rate
exceeded the United States statutory rate of 34.0% due primarily to the
recording of French legal profit sharing contribution expense as described
above. The increase of $3.1 million over the year ended December 31, 2001 can be
attributed to the

                                        38


$11.0 million increase in income before taxes when comparing the two periods and
the fact that no benefit was recorded in our 2001 tax provision for the
non-deductible goodwill amortization referenced above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our short-term liquidity needs include required debt service and day-to-day
operating expenses like working capital requirements and the funding of capital
expenditures. Long-term liquidity requirements include capital expenditures for
new programs and maintenance of existing equipment and debt service. Capital
expenditures for 2004 are expected to be $17.5 million, of which $10.7 million
was spent in the six months ended June 30, 2004.

     Our principal sources of cash to fund short- and long-term liquidity needs
consist of cash generated by operations and borrowing under our new revolving
credit facilities.

     In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a new senior credit
facilities agreement with a syndication of banks consisting of the following
components:

     - a $33 million term loan to Autocam;

     - a E62.7 million term loan to Autocam's wholly-owned subsidiary, Autocam
       France SARL (equivalent to $75.8 million as of June 30, 2004);

     - a multi-currency revolving credit facility of $36.1 million ($25.1
       million in availability as of June 30, 2004) against which borrowings may
       be made by Autocam in USD or euros; and

     - a euro revolving credit facility of E11.6 million available to Autocam
       France SARL (fully available as of June 30, 2004).

     The indenture governing the Notes and the agreement governing the senior
credit facilities contain a number of covenants imposing significant
restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to
operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential
business opportunities as they arise.

     The senior credit facilities require us to meet a number of financial ratio
tests, including interest coverage and total leverage ratios. The senior credit
facilities also limit the amount of capital expenditures we may make. Our
management believes that cash from operations and, if required, borrowings under
the revolving credit facilities of the senior credit facilities will be
sufficient for cash requirements through at least June 2005.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004

     Cash provided by operating activities of $10.7 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2004 reflects net income, excluding non-cash and other
reconciling items of $18.1 million, and an increase in net working capital of
$7.4 million. Accounts receivable increased $9.2 million and inventories
increased $2.9 million due primarily to a 37.7% increase in sales during the
last portion of the second quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in
the fourth quarter of 2003. Accrued liabilities increased $7.0 million,
primarily reflecting increases in accrued compensation and benefits costs and
income, property and value-added taxes.

     Cash used in investing activities of $10.2 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2004 included capital expenditures primarily for production
equipment of $10.7 million.

     Cash provided by financing activities of $5.7 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2004 included the following:

     - Proceeds from issuance of the Notes and term note borrowings at the
       closing of the Acquisition under our new senior credit facility of $246.0
       million, less debt issue costs paid of $10.9 million;

                                        39

     - Scheduled principal payments of the old senior credit facility, capital
       lease obligations and equipment notes payable of $20 million;

     - Proceeds from the issuance of equipment note payable of $1.2 million; and

     - Net repayments under the old and new revolving credit facilities of $3.5
       million.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

     Cash provided by operating activities of $20.6 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2003 reflects net income, excluding non-cash and other
reconciling items of $15.8 million, and a decrease in net working capital of
$4.8 million. Accrued liabilities increased $3.2 million, primarily reflecting
increases in accrued compensation and benefits costs and income, property and
value-added taxes.

     Cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2003 included capital expenditures primarily for production
equipment of $11.1 million and proceeds from the sale of production equipment
and the facilities described above of $5.9 million.

     Cash used in financing activities of $20.1 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2003 included the following:

     - Principal payments on borrowings under our former senior credit
       facilities of $14.8 million, including the unscheduled payment of $5.8
       million in April from funds received in the sale and leaseback
       transaction described above; and

     - Net repayments under the former revolving credit facilities of $5.6
       million.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

     Cash provided by operating activities of $38.0 million during 2003 reflects
net income, excluding non-cash and other reconciling items, of $33.0 million and
a decrease in net working capital of $5.0 million. Accounts receivable decreased
$6.8 million commensurate with reduced European sales volume in the last quarter
of 2003 relative to the same period in 2002. In addition, European accounts
receivable factoring activity increased $2.1 million from December 31, 2002 to
December 31, 2003. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $3.7
million due primarily to decreases in accrued compensation and benefits costs,
the satisfaction during 2003 of certain liabilities existing at December 31,
2002 arising from the closing of the Chicago facility, and the recognition of
deferred revenue associated with the cancellation of a customer program.

     Cash used in investing activities of $14.9 million during 2003 included
capital expenditures primarily for production equipment of $22.5 million and
proceeds from the sale and leaseback of our Kentwood and Marshall facilities and
the sale of equipment of $6.7 million. In addition, we received net cash from
leasing companies totaling $1.7 million, representing reimbursements of deposits
previously paid on production equipment now subject to operating lease
agreements. Finally, we paid $0.7 million to terminate an operating lease for
some of the production equipment that had been used in our Chicago facility as
described above.

     Cash used in financing activities of $27.3 million during 2003 primarily
represents scheduled principal payments on bank and capital lease obligations of
$19.3 million, the final principal installment payment on a note payable to the
sellers of Bouverat Industries, SA of $3.7 million, and a $5.8 million
unscheduled principal payment on our USD-denominated term debt through proceeds

                                        40


from the sale and leaseback of our Kentwood and Marshall facilities referenced
above. We issued $0.9 million in notes payable to fund capital expenditures in
South America.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

     Cash provided by operating activities of $32.0 million during 2002 reflects
net income, excluding non-cash and other reconciling items, of $27.0 million and
a decrease in net working capital of $5.0 million. Accounts receivable increased
$3.6 million and inventories increased $1.3 million commensurate with increased
sales volume in the last quarter of 2002 relative to the same period in 2001. In
2002, we factored $9.0 million of European accounts receivable, which partially
offset the impact of sales growth on accounts receivable. Accounts payable
increased $5.1 million commensurate with the increase in production in 2002
relative to 2001. Accrued liabilities increased $4.9 million reflecting
increases in accrued compensation and benefits costs. In addition, we
established a $0.7 million deferred revenue liability for funds received from a
customer for a new program that was later terminated as referenced above.

     Cash used in investing activities of $15.6 million during 2002 included
capital expenditures primarily for production equipment of $17.2 million and
proceeds from the sale of equipment of $1.6 million.

     Cash used in financing activities of $21.5 million during 2002 included
repayments on our revolving line of credit of $6.8 million and scheduled
principal payments on bank and capital lease obligations of $15.2 million. We
issued $0.5 million in notes payable to fund capital expenditures in South
America.

(1) These amounts include indebtedness outstanding under our new senior credit
    facilities and the aggregate principal amount of the notes.

(2) These amounts are non-cancelable purchase commitments for machinery and
    equipment, some of which may be assigned to financing companies under
    operating lease agreements. In accordance with terms of the purchase
    agreements, final acceptance of the equipment is contingent upon the
    equipment demonstrating capabilities as documented by our purchase orders.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

     We have guaranteed the performance of some equipment leases of an unrelated
vendor that provides services to us within one of our European production
facilities in a total amount equal to $5.5 million as of June 30, 2004.

     We sponsor defined benefit pension plans, see "-- Critical Accounting
Policies" below, for substantially all employees of our French subsidiaries. Our
estimated liability under these plans as of June 30, 2004 was $1.9 million and
our expected funding obligations for 2004 are $0.3 million.

SEASONALITY

     Our business is seasonal, as it is common that our customers and OEMs
historically have one to two week shutdowns of operations during August and
December. Our sales figures reflect the effects of these shutdowns. As a result,
our working capital requirements are also seasonal, with the largest working
capital commitments coming in the early part of the first quarter and the latter
part of the third quarter of each year.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     We believe that relatively moderate levels of inflation over the last few
years have not had a significant impact on revenues or profitability and that
our management has been able to offset the effects of inflation by realizing
improvements in operating efficiency.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

     During the three months ended June 30, 2004, our North American operations
exported $6.1 million of product to customers located in foreign countries, and
our foreign operations shipped $56.0 million of product to customers from their
facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, our North American
operations exported $12.3 million of product to customers located in foreign
countries, and our foreign operations shipped $112.5 million of product to
customers from their facilities. In the year ended December 31, 2003, our North
American operations exported $22.4 million of product to customers located in
foreign countries, and our foreign operations shipped

                                        42


$189.0 million of product to customers from their facilities. As a result, we
are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including currency exchange
rate fluctuations, limits on repatriation of funds, compliance with foreign laws
and other economic and political uncertainties.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits, was revised in December 2003. It requires additional
disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost
of defined benefit pension plans and enhanced disclosures of management's
assumptions related to discount rates, investment returns and salary
assumptions. This statement is effective for us for the year ending December 31,
2004.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Our accounting policies, including those described below, require
management to make estimates and assumptions using information available at the
time the estimates are made. Actual amounts could differ significantly from
these estimates. See Note 1 to our 2003 consolidated financial statements for a
summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our management believes
the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of
accounting policies that currently affect the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     We evaluate our allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis and
review the significant customers with delinquent balances to determine future
collectibility. We base our determinations on legal issues like bankruptcy
status, past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the
experience of our credit representatives. We reserve accounts that we deem to be
uncollectible in the quarter in which we make the determination. We maintain
additional reserves based on our historical bad debt experience, which is
minimal. We believe that, based on past history and our credit policies, the net
accounts receivable are of good quality.

INVENTORY VALUATION

     Inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost, on a first-in,
first-out, or FIFO, basis, or market. Market price is generally based on the
current selling price of our products. We regularly review inventories to
determine if their carrying value exceeds market value, and we record a reserve
to reduce the carrying value to market price, as necessary. Historically, we
have rarely experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence or slow moving
inventory.

FIXED ASSET IMPAIRMENT

     We review long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated
future cash flows. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are
made by us with respect to future operating results. If these assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets.

GOODWILL

     We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill at least annually for
impairment. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows and
requires that we make significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term
projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate discount rates. Our
judgments are based upon historical experience, current market conditions and
other information. While we believe the estimates and assumptions underlying the
valuation methodology to be reasonable, different assumptions could result in
different outcomes.
                                        43


     In estimating future cash flows, we rely upon internally generated
five-year forecasts for sales, operating cash flows and capital expenditures to
maintain current equipment levels. We generally develop these forecasts based
upon recent sales data for existing operations and other factors.

SELF INSURANCE RESERVES

     We offer our North American employees medical insurance that is primarily
self-insured by us. As a result, we accrue a liability for known claims as well
as the estimated amount of expected claims incurred but not reported. We
evaluate our medical claims liability on a quarterly basis through the review of
claims lag studies and knowledge of past history. We accrue as a liability
expected claims incurred but not reported and any known claims.

     Starting in May 2001, our North American facilities converted to a
self-insured workers' compensation program. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate
our liability based on a third-party adjuster's independent analysis by claim.

PENSIONS

     We sponsor defined benefit pension plans for substantially all employees of
our French subsidiaries. We account for our defined benefit pension plans using
SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions.  The benefits accrued under our
plans are calculated based on each employee's years of credited service and most
recent monthly compensation and service category. The obligations for the plan
sponsored by F&P are not funded and the obligations for the plan sponsored by
Bouverat are partially funded. Employees become vested in accordance with
governmental regulations in place at the time of retirement under both plans.

     The calculation of pension expense and our pension liability requires the
use of a number of assumptions. Changes in these assumptions can result in
different expense and liability amounts, and future experience can differ from
the assumptions. We believe that the two most critical assumptions are the
compensation growth and discount rates.

     When calculating pension expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and
the year ended December 31, 2003, we assumed a compensation growth rate of 2.0%.
When calculating pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
we assumed a compensation growth rate of 3.0%. We discounted our future pension
obligation using a rate of 5.0% for all periods presented. We determined the
appropriate compensation growth and discount rates based upon market conditions,
long-term corporate and government yields commensurate with the ultimate pension
obligation and long-term anticipated compensation trends.

     Future changes in assumed compensation growth and discount rates and
various other factors related to participants in our pension plans will impact
our future pension expense and liabilities. We cannot predict with certainty
what these factors will be in the future.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Sales are recognized at the time product is shipped to the customer at
which time title and risk of ownership transfer to the purchaser.

INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income
tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
                                        44


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We manage certain foreign currency exchange risk in relation to equipment
purchases through the limited use of foreign currency futures contracts to
reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on firm commitments to
purchase equipment. No such contracts related to equipment purchases were
outstanding at June 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

     We typically derive 50-60% of our sales from foreign manufacturing
operations. The financial position and results of operations of our subsidiaries
in France are measured in euros and translated into USD. The effects of foreign
currency fluctuations in France are somewhat mitigated by the fact that sales
and expenses are generally incurred in euros, and the reported net income
thereon will be higher or lower depending on a weakening or strengthening of the
USD as compared to the euro.

     The financial position and results of operations of our subsidiary in
Brazil are measured in Brazilian reais and translated into USD. With respect to
approximately 40% of this subsidiary's sales, expenses are generally incurred in
Brazilian reais, but sales are invoiced in USD. As such, results of operations
with regard to these sales are directly influenced by a weakening or
strengthening of the Brazilian reais as compared to the USD. The effects of
foreign currency fluctuations are somewhat mitigated on the remainder of this
subsidiary's sales by the fact that these sales and related expenses associated
therewith are generally incurred in Brazilian reais and the reported income
thereon will be higher or lower depending on a weakening or strengthening of the
USD as compared to the Brazilian real. Our consolidated net assets include
assets based in France denominated in euros and assets based in Brazil
denominated in reais, each of which will be translated to USD as of a reporting
date. Accordingly, our consolidated net assets will fluctuate depending on the
weakening or strengthening of the USD as compared to these currencies as a
result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

                                    BUSINESS

GENERAL

     We are a leading independent manufacturer of a diverse mix of highly
engineered, precision machined, metal alloy components for many of the world's
leading Tier I automotive parts suppliers. We focus on higher value-added
products and emphasize product categories likely to benefit from technological
innovation. Within each of our product categories, we strive to migrate our
product portfolio up the "value pyramid" described below by focusing on
sub-assemblies, complete assemblies and other products that we believe generate
margins above most of our peers. Our technology and manufacturing know-how
allows us to produce complex parts requiring extremely close tolerances in the
single digit micron range, with one micron equaling 1/88th the width of a human
hair. Given the high performance and safety critical nature of the applications
where our parts are used, our products very often approach zero-defect quality
levels.

     We believe that over 80% of our sales are generated in product categories,
including power steering, fuel injection, airbags and electric motors, where we
hold a number one market position relative to other independent manufacturers.
We believe our scale and precision manufacturing capabilities provide a
significant competitive advantage over our independent competitors, many of
which are smaller and lack the capital or technology to compete effectively with
us. In addition, our scale allows us to pursue long production runs of high
volume parts, enabling us to lower average manufacturing costs. Our in-house
application engineering expertise allows us to fully integrate with customers'
application design and engineering efforts during the prototyping stage, further
entrenching our competitive position. Our expertise has allowed us to achieve
sole-source contracts covering an estimated 80% of our 2003 sales, which we
believe provides greater visibility of and stability to earnings and cash flow.

     For the year ended December 31, 2001, we generated total sales of $236.5
million, for the year ended December 31, 2002, we generated total sales of
$275.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2003, we generated total sales
of $323.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, we generated total
sales of $91.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, we generated
total sales of $184.5 million. We believe we are well positioned to continue to
increase our sales as we continue to benefit from favorable industry trends.

OUR PRODUCTS

     Our products include precision-machined automotive components,
sub-assemblies and assemblies. Generally, our products are platform neutral
because they are not tied to any specific OEM models or platforms. We sell our
products principally to North American and European Tier I automotive suppliers,
which integrate these components into their own product offerings. These product
offerings are in turn sold directly to OEMs primarily for the manufacture of new
passenger vehicles and light trucks. A normal product life cycle for our
products is typically five to seven years.

     We specifically target product categories that leverage our unique
competencies and that we expect will further entrench our leading market
positions. To this end, we are guided by a conceptual framework we refer to as
the Autocam "value pyramid." We use the value pyramid to guide decisions
regarding which product categories to target, which new business opportunities
to pursue within each product category and which existing programs to exit. Our
ultimate goal is to move our product offering up the value pyramid. The higher
levels of the value pyramid generally include products where we are involved
from the prototype-stage, specialty products, sub-assemblies, assemblies and
selected products for niche applications. These products typically have the
following characteristics:

     - high engineering and design content;

     - very close manufacturing tolerances at high volumes;

                                        46


     - use of proprietary manufacturing know-how and specialty manufacturing
       equipment; and

     - high customer switching costs.

     We manufacture and sell over 200 types of precision automotive components
for five primary product categories. Below is an overview of what we believe is
our market position and market share and the market size of our five primary
product categories.

(1) Management estimate of market position among independent suppliers and does
    not take into account products made by Tier I suppliers.

(2) Management estimate of overall market size and our market share, including
    independent and Tier I suppliers.

(3) For purposes of determining market position, market size and market share,
    fuel injection reflects only light-vehicle fuel injection products. Our 2003
    sales includes sales of heavy vehicle fuel injection products.

     We are a leading independent manufacturer of precision-machined components,
sub-assemblies and assemblies in all five product categories in which we
operate.

     - Fuel injection has historically been our largest product category. Within
       the fuel injection product category, we manufacture components like disk
       checks, pole pieces, valves, seat guides, diesel pump bodies, diesel
       cases, sleeves and inlet tubes. These components are integrated into
       products that are sold primarily into the North American operations of
       OEMs.

     - Power steering has historically been our second largest product category.
       Within the power steering product category, we manufacture valve
       assemblies, as well as components like sleeves, torsion bars, input
       shafts, pinions and worms. These components are integrated into products
       that are sold primarily into the European operations of OEMs.

     - Our products within the electric motors product category primarily
       include gears, gear sub-assemblies and worm shafts. These components are
       integrated into products that are sold primarily into the European
       operations of OEMs.

     - Within the braking product category, we manufacture components like
       sleeves, push rods, seats and valve rods. These components are integrated
       into products that are sold into European and North American operations
       of OEMs.

     - We entered the airbag market in 2001 when we acquired some of the assets
       of Chicago based Har Technologies, Inc., or Har Technologies, which we
       regarded as a leader in machined airbag components in North America at
       that time. Within the airbag product category, we presently manufacture
       components like collars, adaptors, projectiles, chargeholders and
       diffusers. These components are integrated into products that are sold
       primarily into the North American operations of OEMs.

     In addition to our core products categories, we also manufacture components
and assemblies for other automotive applications and for medical devices.
Components for use in medical devices

                                        47


include hand pieces for use in ophthalmic surgery and laser cut coronary and
aortic stents. Our customers are among the leaders in their respective markets
for ophthalmic surgical devices and minimally invasive stent delivery systems.

INDUSTRY TRENDS

     We primarily operate within the automotive parts industry. The markets in
that industry in which we operate are very fragmented, niche markets where most
of our independent competitors are much smaller. Currently, we believe several
significant existing and emerging trends are impacting the automotive industry.
We believe our business is well positioned to benefit from these trends,
including:

     OUTSOURCING TRENDS BY TIER I SUPPLIERS.  Over the past several years, Tier
I automotive suppliers have continued a trend toward outsourcing automotive
parts and systems to focus on their core design, development, assembly and
marketing. We believe that Tier I suppliers are increasingly re-evaluating their
own in-house machining operations with a focus on reducing costs through
increased outsourcing of individual parts and assemblies to suppliers capable of
global delivery. Independent suppliers are frequently able to achieve lower
production costs per unit than Tier I suppliers and therefore can offer
significant cost saving opportunities. We expect this trend to continue and
believe that both our precision manufacturing base and global presence position
us well to continue to increase our penetration of the Tier I precision parts
market.

     INCREASING DEMAND FOR GLOBAL CAPABILITIES.  OEMs and Tier I suppliers
continue to expand their operations globally to capitalize on market
opportunities. As these end use customers expand their geographic reach, they
increasingly look to suppliers with the global capabilities to service their
needs in those same locations. Suppliers with leading market positions and
global capabilities have a competitive advantage and are best positioned to
benefit from these trends. In 2003, we serviced in more than one location each
of our top three customers, Robert Bosch GmbH, Delphi Corporation and TRW
Automotive Inc.

     INCREASING DEMAND FOR SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES.  We expect that
growing regulatory and consumer demand for safety and convenience features will
continue to drive growth across a number of our product categories. The demand
for these features typically drives OEM design changes and provides an
opportunity to further increase our sales. We believe we will benefit from new
and expanding product demand in a number of our product categories, including:

     - Power Steering -- Power steering demand is expected to increase with the
       worldwide emergence of electric power assisted steering;

     - Electric Motors -- Consumers continue to demand more convenience, comfort
       and safety features in their vehicles, including seat adjusters,
       sunroofs, lumbar supports, power sliding doors and power lift gates. CSM
       Worldwide expects the demand for these conveniences to increase to an
       average of 36 electric motors per vehicle by 2005 from an average of 26
       electric motors per vehicle in 2000;

     - Braking Systems -- We believe pressure from consumers and regulatory
       agencies for safer vehicles will continue to put pressure on brake system
       suppliers to develop advanced systems that reduce stopping distances and
       control the vehicle during hard-stopping and crash avoidance situations.
       Typically these newer systems require improved technology and higher
       value-added precision manufactured components; and

     - Airbags -- We believe growing customer demand for safety as well as
       regulatory activity will continue to increase airbag content in new
       vehicles. Growth will be driven by demand for side and curtain airbags
       and a move toward "smart" airbags, which are airbag systems in which
       deployment is electronically controlled and typically require double the
       number of machined parts.

     DIESEL FUEL TRENDS.  Given ongoing requirements for improved emissions and
better fuel consumption, fuel systems are an area of constant focus for OEMs.
Diesel engines, though not as common in North America, represent over 40% of the
European fuel injection market. Diesel engines continue to gain popularity for
their fuel efficiency, relative environmental friendliness and durability. New
technological advancements in diesel fuel injectors, including common rail fuel
delivery and other forms of diesel direct injection, will require higher value
components and assemblies than traditional gasoline systems. We believe our
experience in the manufacture of diesel components in Europe and North America
positions us well to capture increased volume from potential diesel penetration
in North America.

     CONTINUED PENETRATION OF IMPORT BRAND OEMS IN NORTH AMERICA.  Import brand
automobile manufacturers, including Toyota, Honda and Nissan, continue to
increase their manufacturing presence in North America. Import brand OEMs have
grown their market share from 28.8% to 40.7% of the North American market from
1997 to 2003. CSM Worldwide expects them to capture 48.3% of the market by 2008.
We believe there is an opportunity to take advantage of this trend by increasing
our sales to Tier I suppliers, who are currently selling to import brand OEMs.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

     INDUSTRY LEADER IN STRATEGICALLY TARGETED MARKETS.  We are a leader in
fragmented, niche markets. We believe that over 80% of our 2003 sales were from
product categories in which we held number one market positions relative to
competing independent manufacturers, including fuel injection, power steering,
electric motors and airbags. We specifically target those product categories
that are likely to grow quicker than the overall industry, offer extensive
value-added and higher margin product opportunities and are likely to benefit
from technological change. We have continuously refined our processes and
customized production equipment to provide state-of-the-art precision machining
capabilities, enabling us to enhance our position as a valued supplier to our
global Tier I customers. Our products contain a high degree of engineering
content and require precision manufacturing processes in order to meet the
performance requirements of these critical components. Moreover, we believe that
as our customers continue to rationalize their supplier bases and re-evaluate
their own in-house precision machining capabilities, we will be able to leverage
our leading position to gain increased market share.

     BUSINESS VISIBILITY SUPPORTED BY LONG-TERM CONTRACTS.  The majority of our
products are sold under long-term, sole-source contracts that provide visibility
on our future sales and cash flow. We focus our new product development efforts
on securing long-term, sole-source contracts with Tier I automotive suppliers.
Substantially all of our expected 2004 sales will be under existing contractual
agreements, with the related capital expenditures and start-up costs already
incurred. We believe that over 80% of our expected sales volumes through 2006
will come from products and customers already under contract. The long-term
nature of our contracts permit us to achieve meaningful manufacturing cost
reductions and sustain and improve our margins throughout a product's lifecycle
as we pursue continuous manufacturing improvements.

     WELL ENTRENCHED POSITIONS WITH TIER I CUSTOMER BASE.  We have aligned our
business with many of the world's leading Tier I suppliers. As evidence of our
strong relationships with our customers, our relationships with our top 10
customers average 18 years in length. We believe our reputation for close
tolerance, high precision manufacturing expertise provides us with a strong
competitive advantage that will allow us to continue to increase our sales to
both new and existing customers. Our products typically have applications in
performance critical or safety related applications that place a premium on
quality and reliability, mitigating our customer's incentive to switch
suppliers. Although our products are critical to the reliability and durability
of our customer's products, they typically represent only a small portion of
their overall system cost. Moreover, we strategically target those Tier I
suppliers that are best positioned to grow within our core product categories.
Our customers include 10 of the 15 largest global Tier I automotive suppliers,
including

                                        49


Robert Bosch GmbH, Delphi Corporation, Siemens VDO Automotive AG, TRW Automotive
Inc. and ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

     DIVERSE BUSINESS MIX.  We supply a diverse range of precision products on a
global basis to a broad group of customers. Our diversity across products,
geography and automobile platforms provides stability and predictability to our
business. Our precision products are provided to key Tier I suppliers who
typically use them in critical products and systems for numerous vehicle models
from many of the world's major auto manufacturers, including BMW,
DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation,
Honda, Nissan, Toyota Motor Company and Volkswagen AG. Our products are
typically automobile platform neutral, mitigating our exposure to any single
vehicle model or platform. We support our global customer base from 13
strategically located manufacturing facilities in North America (4), France (5),
Brazil (3) and China (1). Our geographic reach allows us to lower shipping
costs, reduce delivery times and provide opportunities to grow with our
customers in their local markets.

     Our breakdown of sales in 2003 by product category, geography and customer
was:

     CULTURE OF LEAN MANUFACTURING AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.  We have built a
pervasive culture centered on lean manufacturing, quality management and
continuous improvement. In many cases, our management team considers us to be
"best in class" in continuous process improvement. Our "Autocam Production
System" incorporates "lean" manufacturing philosophies and other techniques into
our operations, resulting in operational excellence that has allowed us to
achieve improved margins over time. Our focus on long-term, high-volume
components allows us to fully leverage our continuous improvement and cost
reduction capabilities.

     EXPERIENCED AND MOTIVATED MANAGEMENT TEAM.  We are led by an experienced
management team that averages 18 years of automotive parts manufacturing
experience. The senior management team has been led by our president, John C.
Kennedy, who has held that position with Autocam since he first acquired Autocam
in 1988. The current management team has been responsible for developing and
executing our strategy, which is focused on manufacturing expertise, profits,
cash flow and profitable return on invested capital, or ROIC, through the
product life cycle. Moreover, our senior management has deep experience with our
current customer base and extensive relationships throughout the automotive
industry. Mr. Kennedy re-invested $28.0 million of his Holdings equity in the
acquisition. Our management team was granted options in Parent, and Mr. Kennedy
and others in the management team own in the aggregate more than 25% of Parent
on a fully diluted basis.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Our goals are to continue to increase our leading market position and
leverage our manufacturing expertise and customer relationships to increase our
sales and cash flow. Our strategy to achieve these goals includes the following
initiatives:

     FOCUS ON HIGH GROWTH AND HIGHER VALUE-ADDED PRODUCT OFFERINGS.  We seek to
focus our design, engineering and manufacturing expertise on higher value-added
products, sub-assemblies and assemblies that are not easily manufactured. By
migrating up the value pyramid to the highest precision products, we expect to
leverage our technologically advanced manufacturing expertise and increase our
ROIC. In addition, we seek to align our development efforts on new products in
categories that we believe will benefit from technological innovation and grow
faster than the industry. For example, we believe our 2001 entry into the airbag
product category will continue to provide momentum to our sales and cash flow as
consumers and regulators demand greater safety features and increasingly
sophisticated airbag systems. Similarly, we recently demonstrated our ability to
provide value-added products and services by performing all of the design,
assembly and testing of a custom-tailored, complete hydraulic power steering
valve assembly for ThyssenKrupp Presta Steertec specifically used in Mercedes
Benz M-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. We believe that this strategy has
helped us to achieve 14 quarters of year-over-year sales growth through June 30,
2004.

     ALIGN SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS WITH LEADING TIER I SUPPLIERS.  We seek
to focus our sales and marketing efforts on Tier I suppliers that can maintain
or achieve leadership positions in our product categories. By focusing our
efforts on these customers during the design and prototype stages of product
development, we are able to secure early access to new products and better
position ourselves to supply higher value-added components and sub-assemblies.
This integrated approach allowed us to achieve sole-source contracts covering an
estimated 80% of our 2003 sales. In addition, as the incumbent manufacturer, we
are well positioned to leverage our manufacturing expertise onto next generation
parts and secure additional sales and volumes with our customers.

     EXPLOIT TECHNICAL MANUFACTURING STRENGTH.  We are recognized by our
customers as a leading independent manufacturer of precision-machined, extremely
close tolerance metal alloy components for high technology automotive
applications. We produce these components through various processing techniques
like high precision automatic and computer numerically controlled, or CNC,
turning, rotary transfer, precision milling and precision grinding. From product
development to final delivery, we employ state of the art manufacturing
technologies and processes. Moreover, we have continuously refined our processes
and customized our production equipment to deliver levels of precision machining
capabilities that we believe provide a competitive advantage versus many of our
competitors. We believe our recognized manufacturing advantage allows us to
achieve close tolerance specifications, approach zero-defect manufacturing and
achieve superior on-time delivery to better serve our customers.

     CONTINUOUSLY PURSUE PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS AND LEAN MANUFACTURING.  We
have a deep culture throughout the organization of continuously pursuing
efficiencies to lower costs and improve cash flows and margins. For example, in
2003 we consolidated the operations at our Chicago facility with our Kentwood
and Marshall facilities, enabling us to reduce headcount and rationalize
duplicate costs. In France, we have similarly undertaken efforts to reduce
headcount and optimize operations to increase cash flow. In addition, we believe
we have identified additional operational initiatives that we plan on pursuing
to drive greater efficiency, lower costs and increase cash flow.

     SELECTIVELY PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS.  We have successfully completed
and integrated acquisitions that have increased our scale and broadened our
product portfolio. As a result of our strong position in our product categories,
the fragmented nature of markets in which we operate and our prior success in
making acquisitions, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on
potential acquisition opportunities. We intend to continue to apply a selective
and disciplined acquisition
                                        51


strategy that is focused on improving financial performance, broadening our
product portfolio and increasing our leadership position.

     FUEL INJECTION.  We design, engineer and manufacture fuel injector system
components for use in both gasoline and diesel powered engines. Our customers'
products have applications in both light-vehicles as well as heavy-duty trucks
and off road vehicles. Some of the component parts we manufacture include disk
checks, pole pieces, valves, seat guides, diesel pump bodies and diesel cases.
Our status as a value-added supplier positions us to participate in the design
or redesign of

                                        52


our customer's products. For example, we have participated in the design and
manufacture of components for three successive generations of one family of fuel
injectors.

     Our fuel injector component sales are predominantly generated in North
America where we serve the leading Tier I fuel injector suppliers. We also have
a presence in Europe and South America where we serve our top customers'
European and South American fuel injector component needs. Our customers'
products are generally platform neutral. Examples of North America end-use
customers include DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors and Nissan.

     The fuel injector market has been driven by a shift in technology, first
from carburetion systems to fuel injectors, then from single port fuel injectors
to the multi port fuel injectors commonly found on many vehicles today. Emission
standards and performance considerations have each been a factor in this
technology shift. A new form of fuel injectors, direct injecting systems, are
gaining popularity and are expected to continue to support growth in this
category. Direct injecting systems spray fuel directly into the cylinder, as
opposed to the intake manifold, and provide increased fuel efficiency. In
addition, new developments in diesel fuel engines including technology driven
common rail fuel delivery and other diesel injection innovations are expected to
increase the demand for high value component parts for diesel applications.

     We manufacture fuel injection system components at our facilities in
Kentwood and Marshall, Michigan, Pochons, Ternier and Lecheres, France, and
Campinas and Pinhal, Brazil.

     POWER STEERING.  We design, engineer and manufacture power steering system
components, sub-assemblies and assemblies. Some of our products include sleeves,
input shafts, torsion bars, and integrated pinions and sleeves as well as
finished hydraulic valve assemblies. We entered this product category in 1998
with the acquisition of Frank & Pignard, or F&P, in France. At the time of the
acquisition, we regarded F&P as a leading independent manufacturer of hydraulic
power steering components and sub-assemblies in Europe. We have leveraged F&P's
leading market position to develop critical components for electric power
assisted steering, or EPAS, including a "torque sensing assembly." These design
efforts have positioned us as an exclusive supplier to a number of leading Tier
I suppliers.

     Our power steering component sales are predominantly generated in Europe
where we serve many of the leading Tier I power steering suppliers. We also have
a presence in North and South America where we serve our top customers' local
power steering component needs. Our customers' products are generally platform
neutral. In Europe end-use customers include BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, General
Motors, Honda, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota and Volkswagen. In North and
South America end-use customers include DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Opel and Peugeot.

     Power steering demand was historically driven by consumer demand for
comfort and safety. In 2003, it is estimated that the North American
light-vehicle market has achieved almost 100% power steering penetration with
Europe at an estimated 95%. Emerging markets are expected to continue to see
increased penetration of power steering as vehicle offerings become more
sophisticated. We also believe that the use of EPAS technology will expand
market opportunity for us as it becomes more commercially accepted.

     We manufacture power steering system components at our facilities in
Kentwood, Michigan, Pochons, Ternier, Le Lac, Perrieres and Lecheres, France and
Campinas, Brazil.

     ELECTRIC MOTORS.  We design, engineer and manufacture electric motor
components including gears, worm shafts, gear sub-assemblies and gear boxes. We
identified this growth market in the mid 1990's when the demand for high torque,
safety and performance critical electric motors was emerging. High value
electric motor applications include window lifts, seat adjusters and windshield
wipers. In 2000 we enhanced our position in this product category with the
acquisition of Bouverat in France. At the time of the acquisition, we regarded
Bouverat as a leading manufacturer of technically complex gears, shafts and
related components for electric motors. The acquisition of Bouverat

                                        53


provided global manufacturing capabilities and enhanced our manufacturing skills
in this product category.

     Our electric motor component sales are predominantly generated in Europe
where we serve many of the leading Tier I suppliers. Our customers' products are
generally platform neutral. End-use customers include many of the major OEMs in
North America and Europe.

     Demand for electric motors has been driven by consumer preference for
convenience, comfort and safety features. Although power windows and windshield
wipers are approaching maximum penetration, other convenience applications
including seat adjusters, sun roofs, convertible tops, electric lumbar supports
and electric mirrors continue to expand. Applications in safety features include
electric braking, electric power steering, hybrid starter motors, hybrid
generators and emission control pumps. We believe OEMs will continue to develop
new applications for electric motors to continue to differentiate their vehicles
including electric massage units, retractable running boards, power folding
mirrors, power door and deck lids and tilting head rests.

     We manufacture electric motor components at our facilities in Kentwood,
Michigan, Perrieres and Lecheres, France, Boituva, Brazil and Shenzhen, China.

     BRAKING.  We design, engineer and manufacture braking system components
including sleeves, pump pistons, seats and valve rods. We identified this market
when luxury brands like Mercedes Benz and BMW first introduced premium anti-lock
braking safety features to the European market. As the safety advantages of this
feature became apparent, applications for "mass market" anti-lock braking
systems emerged in both Europe and North America. Our growth focus in this
category is on high value-added brake system applications, including complete
solenoid assemblies, anti-lock brake systems, traction control and stability
systems. As these systems become increasingly complex, we believe that the
precision required to manufacture components and assemblies will also increase.

     Our braking system component sales are generated in Europe and North
America, where we serve many of the leading Tier I suppliers. Our customers'
products are generally platform neutral. In Europe end-use customers include
DaimlerChrysler, Fiat and Volkswagen and in North America they include
DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors.

     We manufacture braking system components at our facilities in Kentwood,
Marshall and Dowagiac, Michigan, Pochons and Ternier, France and Campinas and
Pinhal, Brazil.

     AIRBAGS.  We engineer and manufacture airbag system components like
collars, adaptors, projectiles, charge-holders, diffusers and bosses. In 2000,
we acquired some assets of Har Technologies, Inc. of Chicago and entered this
product category. We believe the combination of our precision manufacturing
know-how with Har's products and market position allowed us to become an
increasingly valuable supplier to customers such as Autoliv, one of the world's
largest producers of airbag systems.

     Our airbag system component sales are almost entirely generated in North
America where we serve leading Tier I suppliers. Our customers' products are
generally platform neutral. In North America end-use customers include Ford,
Honda, Renault/Nissan and Toyota.

     We believe the airbag system segment has significant opportunities for
future growth driven by increasing consumer demand and ongoing regulatory
activity. Driver and passenger airbags are now standard on all North American
light-vehicles. However, side airbags have only achieved 22% penetration of
North American light-vehicles. CSM Worldwide predicts that approximately 70% of
North American vehicles will offer side airbags by 2009. We expect state and
federal regulators to continue to encourage and require OEMs to increase vehicle
airbag content. Additionally, we expect pressure and publicity generated by
industry groups, including the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, will spur consumer demand for increasing
use of airbags. We also expect the demand for "smart" or sensing airbags to
contribute to future

                                        54


growth of this category. These airbags have staged deployments and typically
require double the number of precision machined parts compared to first
generation airbags.

     We manufacture airbag system components at our facilities in Kentwood and
Marshall, Michigan and Campinas, Brazil. In June 2003 we closed the Chicago
facility that originally contained Har's operations and combined it with our
Kentwood and Marshall facilities to reduce costs.

     MEDICAL DEVICES.  We design and manufacture a number of components and
sub-assemblies for medical device applications. Some of our components include
horns, bolts and luer fittings for surgical instruments. Medical device
component sales represented 2.5%, or $8.1 million, of our 2003 sales of $323.2
million.

     The bulk of our sales in the medical device category come from two primary
customers. Our customers are among the leaders in their respective markets for
ophthalmic surgical devices and minimally invasive stent delivery systems. We
manufacture our components for medical devices at our Hayward, California
facility.

     OTHER.  Approximately 5% of our 2003 sales were sold for use primarily in
other automotive applications. Examples of some of our products include
components for automatic and manual transmissions, air conditioning compressors
and engine block valve guides.

SALES AND MARKETING

     The substantial majority of our sales are generated under long-term
sole-source contracts with our customers. Our contracts typically last three to
seven years, but can be longer. Most of our contracts provide us with
sole-source status, prohibiting our customers from purchasing competing products
unless we fail to maintain prescribed levels of production quality or quantity.
Our customers typically provide quarterly or annual expected production volume
estimates, based on anticipated OEM production volumes that we in turn utilize
to schedule our production. These contracts often mandate annual price
concessions of between 1% and 3% which we have historically offset by
manufacturing efficiency gains over the life of a product.

     We undertake minimal advertising as most of our target customers have a
working knowledge of our precision capabilities. We have built our sales
department and crafted its culture on the premise that a properly serviced and
satisfied customer will ultimately provide the best opportunity for market and
customer expansion. Customer development activity is a collaborative effort led
by our customer development engineers, or CDEs. The CDE's main focus is the
growth and development of specific customers, while providing support at
customer locations for manufacturing teams. The CDE is also able to gather
critical customer and competitive intelligence regarding new product and market
opportunities. Outside representatives are occasionally assigned to specific
customers or regional areas. We will also use this approach to gain access to
important new markets or regions where a presence is essential to the long-term
business plan. For example, we employ independent agents in Germany and Eastern
Europe to gain access to specific customers of strategic significance.

     We view customer management as the activity required to maintain and manage
customer relationships profitably. Due to the specific focus on customer
satisfaction, the CDE is regarded as the "voice of the customer," providing
timely feedback to quality, delivery and customer service issues. The CDE
provides a critical link to the manufacturing product teams. Often, the CDE acts
as the front-line liaison at the customer's facility or leads meetings with the
customer regarding product or process issues. The CDE's involvement, facilitated
by the fact that the CDE is often located on site, can also be critical in
making sure that customer-derived satisfaction scores are accurate and that
quality costs are minimized. In many cases, the CDE provides the necessary
guidance as to the long-term strategy employed by a given individual customer.
For example, CDE feedback to the sales management team may help determine if we
decide to grow, maintain, or, in some cases, elect to terminate a particular
customer relationship.

     Our market development specialists use their technical expertise and
knowledge side-by-side with our customers to thoroughly understand a customer's
requirements, offer solutions to these needs, and then coordinate a
manufacturing strategy to satisfy the technological and performance requirements
of the customer's applications. Currently, we have market development
specialists and teams in power steering, fuel injection and electric motors.
Examples of past activities of our market development specialists include:

     - the development of a proprietary design for column mounted EPAS
       applications for a European customer;

     - the development of a hydraulic steering valve and associated
       manufacturing processes for applications in North America; and

     - the development of several fuel injection products with key customers,
       including a unique variable-stroke solenoid valve assembly for gasoline
       direct injection.

MANUFACTURING

     From initial product development and component design stage to delivery of
the finished product, we employ state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and
processes. We primarily utilize a wide range of precision machining
technologies, including high precision automatic and computer numerically
controlled turning, rotary transfer, precision milling and precision grinding,
to meet a wide range of customer specifications. The components we manufacture
are carefully and efficiently processed through a variety of high precision
finishing methods like ultrasonic cleaning and assembled into a value-added
assembly or sub-assembly or shipped directly to a customer for use in their
products.

     For example, we manufacture key components for power steering systems using
precision turning, grinding and milling methods in various facilities. These
components are then matched with key purchased components, like seals, clips and
housings, and assembled using specialty precision assembly equipment in our
Kentwood, Michigan facility. This assembly is then balanced according to unique
vehicle performance specifications, tested, packed and shipped to our customer
who then adds our valve to their steering gear product. In this example, we have
refined our processes and, in some cases, customized production equipment to
achieve world-class precision manufacturing capabilities.

     We also believe our in-house tooling capability provides us a unique
advantage. We have the capability to manufacture precision cutting tools and to
reconfigure specialized machine tools. These capabilities provide a competitive
advantage as product launch times are reduced, specialized machines are
available for use on future programs and proprietary know-how is maintained
within the organization.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY

     Our objective is to offer superior quality, technologically advanced
products to our customers at competitive prices. To this end, we engage in
ongoing engineering, research and development activities to improve the
reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of existing products and to
design and develop new products for existing and new applications. We believe
our technology and research and development support are among the best in our
industry.

     Our research and development program is specifically designed to develop
new products and applications, develop improved cost-effective manufacturing and
support processes and assist in marketing new products. Many of our customers
work in partnership with our technical representatives to develop new, more
competitive products. At the same time, our engineering staff also works
independently to design new products, improve performance and technical features
of existing products and develop methods to lower manufacturing costs.

                                        56


PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

     In limited cases, we rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets,
trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, nondisclosure
agreements and other protective measures to protect our proprietary rights. More
commonly, we also rely on unpatented know-how and trade secrets and employ
various methods, including confidentially agreements with third parties,
employees and consultants, to protect our trade secrets and know-how. We do not
believe that any individual item of our intellectual property is material to our
business.

COMPETITION

     Our competitors include Tier I suppliers, as well as independent domestic
and international suppliers. Many of these Tier I suppliers are larger companies
that have greater financial resources than us and are also our most important
customers. Over the past several years, Tier I suppliers have trended toward
outsourcing the products we make, which we believe will reduce competition from
those entities in the future.

     We believe that a number of barriers to entry will serve to protect our
competitive position. In general, our markets are highly fragmented with few
independent competitors able to match our geographic footprint and the depth and
breadth of our product offerings. Our well-entrenched position with Tier I
suppliers gives us an advantage to source new business from these customers.
Further, our independent competitors will not be able to match our global
capabilities without a substantial investment in new facilities. Finally,
development of new products is capital intensive, and we believe many of our
smaller competitors lack sufficient financial resources to make the necessary
investments in new product lines.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

     The most important raw material we purchase is steel. We purchased
approximately $45 million of steel in 2003, representing approximately 16% of
our total cost of goods sold. We purchase primarily high-value-added specialty
steel, which has historically experienced more stable pricing than commodity
steel. The price of commodity steel is subject to cyclical fluctuation. During
the latter part of 2003 and early 2004, our steel costs have risen approximately
8% compared to the prior year. We are often able to pass through price changes
through contractual price escalators and de-escalators tied to raw material
costs. Further, we estimate that we can recoup a portion of any price increase
of steel in the scrap steel market through the increased prices we receive for
scrap steel left over from our manufacturing processes.

     Our purchasing strategy is to deal with only high-quality, dependable
suppliers. We believe that we have maintained strong relationships with our key
suppliers and that these relationships will continue into the foreseeable
future. Based on our experience, we believe that adequate quantities of steel
will be available at market prices, but we cannot give any assurances as to such
availability or the prices thereof.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Our past and present operations as well as our past and present ownership
and operations of real property are subject to federal, state, local and foreign
environmental laws and regulations pertaining to emissions to air, discharge to
waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and
disposal of waste and other materials. We believe that our operations and
facilities are being operated in compliance, in all material respects, with
applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. However, we
cannot predict with any certainty that we will not in the future incur liability
under environmental statutes and regulations with respect to non-compliance with
environmental laws, contamination of sites formerly or currently owned or
operated by us, including contamination caused by prior owners and operators of
these sites, or the off-site disposal of hazardous substances.

     Like any manufacturer, we are subject to the possibility that we may
receive notices of potential liability, pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, or analogous
state laws, for cleanup costs associated with offsite waste recycling or
disposal facilities at which wastes associated with its operations have
allegedly come to be located. Liability under CERCLA is strict, retroactive and
joint and several. No such notices are currently pending.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than ordinary or
routine proceedings incidental to our operations, which, in the opinion of
management, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
or results of operations.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     Autocam is not a "listed company" under SEC rules and is therefore not
required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. Autocam
does not currently have an audit committee and does not have an audit committee
financial expert. Autocam's Board of Directors has determined that each of its
members is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has
substantial business experience that results in that member's financial
sophistication. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that each of its
members have the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the
duties and obligations that an audit committee would have.

                                        61


COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Directors who are also employees of Parent or its subsidiaries or the
employees of our principal stockholders will receive no additional compensation
for their services as directors.

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

     On June 21, 2004, in connection with the closing of the acquisition, Parent
entered into a stockholders agreement with GSCP 2000, other private equity funds
affiliated with GSCP 2000, TRP, other investment vehicles affiliated with TRP
and John C. Kennedy, our president. The stockholders agreement provides each of
GSCP 2000 and TRP the right to designate two members of the board of directors.
The GSCP designees are Messrs. Daly and Jones and the TRP designees are Messrs.

EMPLOYEE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

     Parent adopted the Micron Holdings, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan, effective
as of June 21, 2004. The plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock
options to key employees, directors and consultants of Parent and its
affiliates. Subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, and other similar
transactions, a maximum of 1,430,000 shares of common stock of Parent may be
subject to awards under the plan. The Board of Parent or a committee of the
Board as may be designated to administer the plan selects the individuals that
may participate in the plan, the amount of any grant and the terms and
conditions of such grant (not otherwise specified in the plan), and has the
authority to otherwise interpret and administer the plan. Parent plans to grant
options under this plan. Options may not be granted under the plan after June
21, 2014.

                                        63


     The term of stock options granted under the plan may not exceed ten years.
Options granted under the plan will be exercisable at such time and upon such
terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board or committee, but in no
event will an option be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant.
If a "transaction" (as defined in the plan) occurs, the Board or committee may
provide that outstanding options held by participants will become fully vested
and exercisable upon the consummation of the transaction. In addition, the Board
or committee may, in its discretion, cancel all options for payment of the
excess of the "fair market value" (as defined in the plan) of the shares subject
to the options over the aggregate exercise price of the options or provide for
the issuance of substitute options or other awards that will preserve the
economic terms of the options. Unless the Board or committee determines
otherwise, the exercise of an option will be conditioned on the execution by the
participant of a form of stockholders' agreement prepared by Parent.

     The plan may be amended by the Board of Parent, but no amendment that would
increase the number of shares reserved under the plan may be made without
approval of the stockholders of Parent, and no amendment that would diminish the
rights of a participant under a previously granted option may be made without
the consent of the participant.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS OF MESSRS. KENNEDY, VELTMAN, BUCHAN AND LE SECH

     We have employment agreements with each of Messrs. Kennedy, Veltman, Buchan
and Le Sech. The agreement for Mr. Kennedy expires on June 21, 2007, the
agreement for Mr. Veltman expires on January 31, 2007 and the agreement for Mr.
Buchan expires on January 20, 2007, in each case subject to automatic renewal
for additional one-year periods unless either party provides 90 day notice of
non-extension to the other prior to the end of the term. Mr. Le Sech's agreement
is

                                        64


terminable upon three months notice. The employment agreements provide for base
salaries which are currently $500,000 for Mr. Kennedy, $150,000 for Mr. Veltman,
$170,000 for Mr. Buchan and E180,000 ($203,382 converted at 1.1299 USD/euro) for
Mr. Le Sech. The salary of Mr. Kennedy is subject to periodic review by Parent's
board of directors for increase. Salaries are subject to annual adjustment at
the discretion of our board of directors in the cases of Messrs. Veltman and
Buchan and pursuant to our standard practices in the case of Mr. Le Sech. The
employment agreements provide for performance based bonuses. Under Mr. Kennedy's
employment agreement, his target performance bonus per year is 60% of his
salary. Additionally, in order to compensate Mr. Buchan for the loss of the
supplemental retirement plan in existence at his previous employer, under Mr.
Buchan's agreement, we must pay the premiums on a life insurance policy that
will have a cash value of $111,000 at the end of the initial term of his
agreement. If Mr. Kennedy is terminated by Parent without "cause" (as defined in
the employment agreement), he is entitled to 1.5 times the sum of his base
salary and target bonus, and a prorated portion of his target bonus in effect
immediately prior to his termination based on the number of days employed during
the calendar year in which the termination occurred. If Mr. Veltman or Mr.
Buchan is terminated by us without "cause" (as defined in the employment
agreements), he is entitled to 18 months base salary and benefits continuation.
If Mr. Le Sech is terminated without "cause" (as defined in the employment
agreement), he is entitled to an amount equal to 24 months salary, calculated on
the basis of the previous 12 months average base salary and bonus. If Mr.
Veltman or Mr. Buchan is involuntarily terminated within 180 days following a
change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled
to 24 months base salary with bonus and 12 months benefits continuation.
Additionally, in the case of Mr. Kennedy, if

     - Parent materially breaches the employment agreement,

     - Parent assigns him duties or responsibilities inconsistent with his
       positions with us, Parent or Holdings,

     - Parent makes a change resulting in a material diminution of his
       responsibilities with us, Parent or Holdings,

     - Parent fails to provide employee benefits substantially comparable to
       those provided to him on June 21, 2004,

     - Parent fails to require a successor to assume his employment agreement,

     - we relocate Autocam's headquarters by more than 35 miles or relocate Mr.
       Kennedy's place of employment to other than Autocam's headquarters, or

     - there is a reduction in Mr. Kennedy's base salary or target bonus,

then Mr. Kennedy can terminate his employment and be entitled to the same
consideration as if he had been terminated without "cause." If Parent delivers a
notice of non-extension of the term under the employment agreement, Mr. Kennedy
can terminate his employment and be entitled to the sum of his base salary and
target bonus, as well as a prorated portion of his target bonus in effect
immediately prior to his termination based on the number of days employed during
the calendar year in which the termination occurred. In the case of Messrs.
Veltman and Buchan, if we materially breach the employment agreement or make a
change resulting in a material diminution of the duties, authority or
compensation of the affected individual, that individual can terminate his
employment and be entitled to the same base salary and benefits as if he had
been terminated without "cause." Mr. Kennedy's employment agreement provides
that if any payment or benefit made pursuant to the employment agreement would
be subject to the excise tax on golden parachute payments, then he will be
entitled to a gross-up payment for the excise tax and any federal income tax
deductions disallowed in connection with the gross-up payment. Under Mr.
Kennedy's employment agreement, he is entitled to reimbursement of 50% of his
legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation of the employment
agreement and the stockholders' agreement, up to $20,000 in total. Each
employment agreement also includes a perpetual nondisclosure provision.
Additionally,
                                        65


Mr. Kennedy's agreement contains a post-termination perpetual and mutual
non-disparagement provision and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions
that apply for a 2 year period following the termination of his employment,
Messrs. Veltman and Buchan's agreements contain non-competition and
non-solicitation provisions that apply for the severance period, and Mr. Le
Sech's agreement contains a non-competition provision that applies for one year,
renewable for a second year at our option.

     The employment agreements of each of Messrs. Veltman and Buchan were
amended as of September 17, 2004 to provide that all amounts due from the
executives under certain split dollar life insurance arrangements maintained
between Autocam and the executives for premiums previously paid by Autocam were
forgiven as of that date and treated as bonus payments to the executives. Under
the amended employment agreements, Autocam will continue to pay the premiums due
on the life insurance policies previously subject to the split dollar
arrangements for Messrs. Veltman and Buchan until the termination of their
employment agreements. In addition, Autocam will pay each of Messrs. Veltman and
Buchan a bonus in 2004 and each applicable year thereafter in an amount intended
to compensate the executives for the tax consequences of the debt forgiveness
and the payment of premiums on the policies by Autocam. The amount of these
bonuses is agreed upon by the executive and Autocam and calculated by the Chief
Executive Officer of Autocam with approval by Autocam's management. The amended
employment agreements provide that all payments will be treated as compensation
to each of Messrs. Veltman and Buchan in the year paid and will not be subject
to any reimbursement to Autocam by the executive at any time.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF MR. EDUARDO RENNER DE CASTILHO

     Autocam Do Brasil entered into a services agreement with Lean Management
Consultoria Empresarial S/C Ltda, dated January 1, 1998 (as amended and restated
as of January 31, 2002). The agreement provides for the rendering of advisory
services by Lean Management Consultoria Empresarial with respect to the
operational management of Autocam Do Brasil's industrial plants. The term of the
agreement is indefinite and may be terminated by either party with 90 days'
written notice. The partner in charge of the project on behalf of Lean
Management Consultoria Empresarial is Mr. de Castilho. He receives $22,916.67
per month for his services. Mr. Caetano Roberto Ferraiolo is also a member of
the project and performs managerial advisory tasks in the Boituva unit and the
Departments of Engineering and Thermal Treatment. Mr. Ferraiolo receives
11,317.58 Brazilian reais per month for his services, subject to adjustment
every month (or any other interval as Autocam Do Brasil may provide) according
to the Brazilian General Index of Market Prices. Lean Management Empresarial is
solely responsible for all labor and social security obligations relating to its
employees. Lean Management Empresarial is subject to a perpetual confidentiality
provision with respect to all confidential information of Autocam Do Brasil
acquired during the course of its services.

SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS

     We formerly had split dollar arrangements with Messrs. Veltman and Buchan.
As described above, these split dollar arrangements were terminated as of
September 17, 2004 and all amounts due from each of Messrs. Veltman and Buchan
with respect to premiums paid by Autocam prior to that date were forgiven.
Autocam will continue to pay the premiums on all life insurance policies
previously subject to the split dollar arrangements for Messrs. Veltman and
Buchan until the termination of the executive's employment agreement. Autocam
will treat the amount of the debt forgiveness as a bonus to each of Messrs.
Veltman and Buchan and pay the executive an additional bonus to compensate him
for the tax consequences of the debt forgiveness and the premium payments on the
policies.

     We also formerly had a comparable arrangement for Mr. Kennedy. Mr.
Kennedy's split dollar arrangements were converted into interest bearing loans
initially at an interest rate of 3.55%, and these interest bearing loans were
forgiven immediately following the acquisition.

                                  ACQUISITION

     On June 21, 2004, and pursuant to a merger agreement dated May 1, 2004,
Micron Merger Corporation, a newly formed entity and wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent, merged with and into Holdings with Holdings continuing as the surviving
corporation. The total amount of consideration paid in the merger, including
amounts related to the repayment of indebtedness, the redemption of the
outstanding preferred stock of Holdings, payments to owners of outstanding
common stock of Holdings and the payment of transaction costs incurred by
Holdings, was approximately $395.0 million. The acquisition was financed with
the net proceeds from the issuance of the outstanding notes, borrowings under
our new senior credit facilities and a common equity contribution of $143.0
million by GS Capital Partners 2000, L.P., or GSCP 2000, other private equity
funds affiliated with GSCP 2000, Transportation Resource Partners LP, or TRP,
other investment vehicles affiliated with TRP, and John C. Kennedy, our
president.

     Micron Merger Corporation and Holdings closed the acquisition
simultaneously with the closing of our new senior credit facilities and the
release of the proceeds from the issuance of the outstanding notes from escrow.

     The merger agreement contained customary representations and warranties
from Holdings. None of these representations or warranties survived the closing
of the acquisition.

     Prior to the acquisition, Aurora Capital Partners was the largest voting

                      DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

NEW SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES

     In connection with the acquisition, we entered into our new senior credit
facilities with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Goldman Sachs
Credit Partners L.P. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers
and joint book runners and in other capacities. The following is a summary of
the material terms and conditions of the new senior credit facilities and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the credit agreement.

     BORROWERS; AMOUNTS AND FINAL MATURITIES.  The new senior credit facilities
provide for senior secured financing of up to the equivalent of $158.0 million,
in U.S. dollars or euros, consisting of:

     - a multi-currency revolving credit facility of $36.1 million available to
       us in U.S. dollars or euros with a final maturity of 5 years;

     - a euro revolving credit facility of E11.6 million available in euros to
       our French subsidiary, Autocam France SARL, with a final maturity of 5
       years;

     - a $33.0 million term loan to us with a final maturity of 7 years; and

     - a E62.7 million term loan to Autocam France SARL, with a final maturity
       of 7 years.

     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  All borrowings under our revolving credit facilities
are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of
defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

     INTEREST AND FEES.  The interest rates applicable to loans under our new
senior credit facilities initially will be (i) for loans denominated in U.S.
dollars, at our option, equal to either a base rate plus a 2% margin or an
adjusted eurodollar bank deposit rate plus a 3% margin and (ii) for loans
denominated in euros, equal to an adjusted euro bank deposit rate plus a 3%
margin. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three, six and, if available
to all of the applicable lenders, nine or twelve months for eurodollar or euro
borrowings.

     After one full fiscal quarter has been completed after the acquisition, the
applicable interest rate margin for the senior credit facilities will be
determined from time to time based on our "leverage ratio," defined in our new
senior credit facilities generally as the ratio of our consolidated indebtedness
to our consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarter period, as
follows:

< 3.00:1.00...............................         1.75%                2.75%

facilities, including:

     - commitment fees equal to 0.50% per annum times the average undrawn
       portion of the revolving credit facilities, reduced by the amount of
       letters of credit issued and outstanding under the revolving credit
       facilities but not reduced by the amount of outstanding swing line loans;

     - letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin then in effect with
       respect to eurocurrency rate loans under the revolving credit facilities
       times the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all
       letters of credit. The issuer of any letter of credit will also receive a
       fronting fee equal to 0.250% per annum times the maximum aggregate amount
       available to

                                        70


       be drawn under the letter of credit and other customary documentary and
       processing charges; and

amortizes quarterly as follows:

     - $82,500 for each quarter beginning September 30, 2004 and ending June 30,
       2010; and

     - $7,755,000 for each quarter thereafter with the final payment due on June
       15, 2011.

     The term loan denominated in euros amortizes each quarter as follows:

     - 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of specified debt
       obligations by us or our subsidiaries; and

     - 75% of "excess cash flow" as defined in our new senior credit facilities;
       provided, that this percentage will be reduced to 50% if our "leverage
       ratio" is less than 3.00:1.00.

     Mandatory prepayments will be applied first to the term loans, next to
swing line loans and finally to outstanding loans under the revolving credit
facilities. Mandatory prepayments of term loans will be applied first, at our
option, in direct order of maturity to the next four scheduled amortization
installments and second, pro rata to remaining installments.

     Voluntary prepayments of loans under our new senior credit facilities will
be permitted, in whole or in part, at our option, without premium or penalty.
Any voluntary prepayment of loans will be subject to reimbursement of the
lender's breakage costs in the case of a prepayment of eurocurrency rate
borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

     COLLATERAL AND GUARANTORS.  Indebtedness under our new senior credit
facilities is guaranteed by:

     - each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic and, to the
       extent no material adverse tax consequence would result and to the extent
       permitted under local law, foreign subsidiary; and

     - us with respect to the obligations of our French subsidiary under term
       and revolving facilities.

     Indebtedness under our new senior credit facilities is secured by a first
priority security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors'
tangible and intangible assets, including personal property, real property,
intercompany indebtedness and capital stock owned by us and such guarantors,
limited to 65% of such capital stock in the case of certain foreign
subsidiaries.

                                        71


     FINANCIAL AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.  Our new senior credit facilities
contain minimum interest coverage and total leverage ratios that vary during the
term of the credit facilities. The senior credit facilities also contain a
restriction on the amount of capital expenditures we may make.

     Our new senior credit facilities also contain covenants that restrict our
ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans,
guarantees or advances, make restricted junior payments, including dividends,
redemptions of capital stock and voluntary prepayments or repurchase of certain
other indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets, enter
into sale and leaseback transactions or engage in certain transactions with
affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities.

     REPRESENTATIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  Our new senior credit
facilities contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative
covenants.

     EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  The new senior credit facilities contain customary
events of default, subject to grace periods and materiality thresholds specified
therein, including:

     - failure to make payments when due;

     - defaults under other material indebtedness;

     - noncompliance with covenants;

     - incorrectness of representations and warranties;

     - bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution events;

     - material judgments;

     - certain events related to ERISA;

     - impairment of security interests in collateral or invalidity of
       guarantees; and

     - a "change of control," as defined in the new senior credit facilities.

                              DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

     You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description
under the subheading "-- Certain Definitions." In this description, the word
"Company" refers only to Autocam Corporation and not to any of their
subsidiaries nor any of their parent companies. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the word "notes" refers collectively to the notes, additional notes
as described below and Exchange Notes.

     The Company will issue the exchange notes under the indenture dated as of
June 10, 2004 (the "Indenture") between itself and J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
National Association, as trustee, filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. The terms of the notes will
include those stated in the indenture and, upon effectiveness of a registration
statement with respect to the notes, those made part of the indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

     Any outstanding notes that remain outstanding after completion of the
exchange offer, together with the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer,
will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, including
for purposes of amending the Indenture.

     The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the
indenture. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you
to read the indenture and the registration rights agreement because they, and
not this description, define our obligations and your rights as holders of the
notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below
under "-- Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the
indenture.

     The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all
purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES

THE NOTES

     The notes:

     - are general unsecured obligations of the Company;

     - are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior
       Debt of the Company, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement;

     - rank equally in right of payment to any future senior subordinated
       Indebtedness of the Company;

     - are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of
       the Company; and

     - are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

THE GUARANTEES

     The notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's existing and future
Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries and by Autocam Europe and
Titan.

     Each guarantee of the notes:

     - is a general unsecured obligation of each Guarantor;

     - is subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior
       Debt of that Guarantor;

     - is equal in right of payment with any future senior subordinated
       Indebtedness of that Guarantor;

     - is effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of that Guarantor
       to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness; and
                                        73


     - is effectively subordinated to the obligations of any Subsidiary of that
       Guarantor if that Subsidiary is not a Guarantor.

     As of June 30, 2004, the Company and the Guarantors had total Senior Debt
of approximately $33.0 million. In addition, $25.1 million would have been
available to be borrowed under our new multi-currency revolving credit facility
and E11.6 million would have been available to Autocam France, SARL to be
borrowed under our new euro denominated revolving credit facility. As indicated
above and as discussed in detail below under the caption "-- Subordination,"
payments on the notes and under these guarantees will be subordinated to the
payment of Senior Debt. The indenture will permit us and the Guarantors to incur
additional Senior Debt.

     Except for Autocam Europe, none of our Foreign Subsidiaries will guarantee
the notes. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all
Indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and
lease obligations) of the Company's Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors. Any
right of the Company to receive assets of any of its Subsidiaries that are not
Guarantors upon that Subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization (and the
consequent right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets) is
effectively subordinated to the claims of that Subsidiary's creditors, except to
the extent that the Company is itself recognized as a creditor of the
Subsidiary, in which case the claims of the Company would still be subordinate
in right of payment to any security in the assets of the Subsidiary and any
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary senior to that held by the Company. As of June
30, 2004, the Company's non-Guarantor Subsidiaries had approximately $83.8
million of Indebtedness and $89. million of trade payables and other liabilities
outstanding assuming consummation of the Transactions. The non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries generated 58.3% of our sales for 2003 and held 43.8% of our
consolidated assets as of December 31, 2003. See note 14 to our consolidated
financial statements included at the back of this prospectus for more detail
about the division of our consolidated revenues and assets between our Guarantor
and non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. As stated above, all of the Company's Domestic
Subsidiaries, Titan and Autocam Europe will guarantee the notes. See "Risk
Factors -- Autocam Europe B.V., our only non-U.S. subsidiary which is
guaranteeing the notes, and Holdings are holding companies with no
revenue-generating operations of their own. Your right to receive payments on
the notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries
declare bankruptcy, liquidate, or reorganize; the notes would be structurally
subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries."

     As of the date of the indenture, all of our Subsidiaries were "Restricted
Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the
caption "-- Certain Covenants -- Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted
Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as
"Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Any Unrestricted Subsidiaries would not be subject
to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. As mentioned above, other
than Autocam Europe, none of our Foreign Subsidiaries would guarantee the notes,
and any Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.

PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST

     The Company issued $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in
the offering. The Company may in the future issue additional notes with
identical terms and conditions (other than the Special Interest) under the
indenture from time to time after the offering. Any issuance of additional notes
is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant
described below under the caption "-- Certain Covenants -- Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The notes and any additional
notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class
for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers,
amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company will issue notes in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature
on June 15, 2014.

                                        74


     Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 10.875% per annum and will
be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on
December 15, 2004. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of
record on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1.

     Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if
interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months.

METHODS OF RECEIVING PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES

     If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company,
the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that
holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the
notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar
within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest
payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the
register of holders.

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR FOR THE NOTES

     The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company
may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of
the notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or
registrar.

TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

     A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions
of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among
other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in
connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes
due on transfer. The Company will not be required to transfer or exchange any
note selected for redemption. Also, the Company will not be required to transfer
or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be
redeemed.

GUARANTEES

     The notes are guaranteed by the Company's direct parent, Titan, each of the
Company's current and future Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic
Subsidiaries and Autocam Europe. These Note Guarantees are joint and several
obligations of the Guarantors. Each Note Guarantee will be subordinated to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of that Guarantor. The obligations of
each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that
Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.
See "Risk Factors -- Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific
circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments
received from guarantors." In addition, because Titan is a holding company with
no operations, the Guarantee by Titan provides little, if any, additional credit
support for the notes and investors should not rely on the Guarantee by Titan in
evaluating an investment in the notes.

     A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into or dissolve or
liquidate into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another
Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

         (1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or
     Event of Default exists; and

                                        75


         (2) either:

               (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
         disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
         or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the
         indenture, its Note Guarantee and the registration rights agreement
         pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

               (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
         applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture.

     The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

         (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or
     substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of
     merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after
     giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
     of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the
     "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

         (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the
     Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or
     after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted
     Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not
     violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

         (3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
     Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the
     applicable provisions of the indenture; or

         (4) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the
     indenture as provided below under the captions "-- Legal Defeasance and
     Covenant Defeasance" and "-- Satisfaction and Discharge."

     See "-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders -- Asset Sales."

SUBORDINATION

     The payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the notes is
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company,
including Senior Debt incurred after the date of the indenture.

     The holders of Senior Debt are entitled to receive payment in full in cash
of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Debt (including interest after the
commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the
applicable Senior Debt, whether or not an allowable claim in any such
proceeding) before the holders of notes will be entitled to receive any payment
with respect to the notes (except that holders of notes may receive and retain
Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from either of the trusts
described under "-- Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and
"-- Satisfaction and Discharge"), in the event of any distribution to creditors
of the Company:

         (1) in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

         (2) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or
     similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property;

         (3) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

         (4) in any marshaling of the Company's assets and liabilities.

                                        76


     The Company also may not make any payment in respect of the notes (except
in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trusts described under "-- Legal
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "-- Satisfaction and Discharge") if:

         (1) a payment default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is
     continuing; or

         (2) any other default occurs and is continuing on any series of
     Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of Designated
     Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the trustee receives a notice of
     such default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the holders of any
     Designated Senior Debt.

     Payments on the notes may and are required to be resumed:

         (1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such
     default is cured or waived; and

         (2) in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of the date
     on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the
     date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless
     the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated or if any
     Payment Default then exists on Designated Senior Debt.

     No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until:

         (1) 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior
     Payment Blockage Notice; and

         (2) all scheduled payments of principal, interest and premium, if any,
     on the notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash.

     No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the trustee will be, or will be made,
the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has been
cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

     If the trustee or any holder of the notes receives a payment in respect of
the notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trusts described
under "-- Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "-- Satisfaction and
Discharge") when:

         (1) the payment is prohibited by these subordination provisions; and

         (2) the trustee or the holder has actual knowledge that the payment is
     prohibited, the trustee or the holder, as the case may be, will hold the
     payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Upon the
     proper written request of the holders of Senior Debt or their
     representative, the trustee or the holder, as the case may be, will deliver
     the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Debt or their proper
     representative.

     The Company must promptly notify holders of Senior Debt if payment on the
notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default.

     As a result of the subordination provisions described above, in the event
of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, holders of notes
may recover less ratably than creditors of the Company who are holders of Senior
Debt. As a result of the obligation to deliver amounts received in trust to
holders of Senior Debt, holders of notes may recover less ratably than trade
creditors of the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Your right to receive payments on
the notes and the guarantees is junior to our existing and future senior
indebtedness and the existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors."

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

     At any time prior to June 15, 2007, the Company may, on any one or more
occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued
under the indenture (calculated giving

                                        77


effect to any issuance of additional notes) at a redemption price of 110.875% of
the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not
including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of notes on any
relevant interest record date to receive interest on the relevant interest
payment date), in an amount up to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by a Parent to the extent the net cash
proceeds thereof are contributed to the Company or used to purchase Qualified
Capital Stock from the Company; provided that:

         (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally
     issued under the indenture (calculated giving effect to any issuance of
     additional notes and excluding notes held by the Company and its
     Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
     redemption; and

         (2) the redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of
     such Equity Offering.

     Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the notes are not redeemable at
the Company's option prior to June 15, 2009.

     On or after June 15, 2009, the Company may redeem all or a part of the
notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to, but not
including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights
of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant interest payment date:

<Table>
<Caption>

2011........................................................    101.813%
2012 and thereafter.........................................    100.000%
</Table>

     Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price,
interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable redemption date.

MANDATORY REDEMPTION

     The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the notes.

REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

CHANGE OF CONTROL

     If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000) of that holder's notes pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control
Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of
purchase, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within thirty
days following any Change of Control or, at the Company's option, prior to the
completion of such Change of Control event but only after such event is publicly
announced, the Company will mail a notice to each holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering
to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the
notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the
indenture and described in such notice. In the case of a Change of Control
Notice sent prior to the applicable Change of
                                        78


Control event pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Change of Control Offer
will be irrevocable, subject only to the completion of the applicable Change of
Control event. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of
Control provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of
such compliance.

     On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful:

         (1) accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered
     pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

         (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of
     Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly
     tendered; and

         (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly
     accepted together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate
     principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the
     Company.

     The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the notes surrendered, if any, provided that each new note will be equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will publicly announce the
results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Payment Date.

     Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this "Change of Control"
covenant, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the
Company will either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite
consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to
permit the repurchase of notes required by this covenant.

     The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of
Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not
any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above
with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions
that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Company repurchase or
redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar
transaction.

     The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and
purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the
indenture as described above under the caption "-- Optional Redemption," unless
and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

     The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the
direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of
"all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law
interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established
definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a
holder of notes to require the Company to repurchase its notes as a result of a
sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or
group may be uncertain.

                                        79


ASSET SALES

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

          (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
     receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the
     Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
     otherwise disposed of; and

          (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by
     the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash
     Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be
     deemed to be cash:

             (a) any liabilities, as shown on the Company's most recent
        consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
        (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
        terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed
        by the transferee or purchaser, or a third party on behalf of the
        transferor or purchaser of any such assets, pursuant to a customary
        assumption agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted
        Subsidiary from such liability;

             (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the
        Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
        converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within
        60 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, to the
        extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

             (c) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or
        (4) of the next paragraph of this covenant.

     Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may
apply such Net Proceeds at its option; provided that any stock or assets of the
kind referred to in clauses (2) and (4) below deemed to be cash pursuant to the
preceding paragraph will be deemed applied pursuant to clauses (2) and (4)
below, as applicable, to the extent such stock or assets are used in the
business and are not sold within such 365-day period for consideration of the
kind described in clauses (2)(a) and (2)(b) of the preceding paragraph:

          (1) to repay (i) Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is
     revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with
     respect thereto or (ii) any Indebtedness of a non-guarantor Restricted
     Subsidiary only if the assets sold were of such non-guarantor Restricted
     Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate and
     other than Disqualified Stock);

          (2) to acquire (i) all or substantially all of the assets of another
     Permitted Business or (ii) any Capital Stock of another Permitted Business
     if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the
     Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

          (3) to make a capital expenditure;

          (4) to acquire any property or assets (other than Indebtedness and
     Capital Stock) to be used by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in a
     Permitted Business; or

          (5) to acquire from a Person other than the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary which constitutes a
     minority interest in such Restricted Subsidiary.

     Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

                                        80


     Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the second paragraph of this covenant will constitute "Excess
Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million,
within ten days thereof, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all
holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that ranks equally with
the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with
respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to
purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other equally ranking
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price
in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash (subject to the right of holders of notes
on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment
date). If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer,
the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and
other equally ranking Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds
the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other
equally ranking Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset
at zero.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale
provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such
compliance.

SENIOR DEBT LIMITATIONS

     The agreements governing the Company's Senior Debt to be executed in
connection with the Acquisition prohibit the Company from purchasing any notes,
and also provide that certain change of control or asset sale events with
respect to the Company would constitute a default under these agreements. Any
future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which
the Company becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. In
the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Company is
prohibited from purchasing notes, the Company could seek the consent of its
senior lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the
borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Company does not obtain such
consent or repay such borrowings, the Company will remain prohibited from
purchasing notes. In such case, the Company's failure to purchase tendered notes
would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which would, in turn,
constitute a default under such Senior Debt. In such circumstances, the
subordination provisions in the indenture would likely restrict payments to the
holders of notes.

SELECTION AND NOTICE

     If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee
will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method
as the trustee deems fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law,
applicable stock exchange requirement or the requirements of the Depository
Trust Company (in which case such provisions will apply).

     No notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption
will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered
address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to
a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the
notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption
may not be conditional.

                                        81


     If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that
relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note
that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes
upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due
on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest
ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

RESTRICTED PAYMENTS

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

         (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or
     distribution on account of the Company's or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment
     in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
     Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their
     capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity
     Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company);

         (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
     (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
     consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or
     any Parent;

         (3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem,
     defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the
     Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated in right of
     payment to the notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany
     Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated
     Maturity thereof or a refinancing thereof with Permitted Refinancing
     Indebtedness within one year of the final maturity date thereof; or

         (4) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4)
above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

         (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
     would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

         (2) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after
     giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made
     at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted
     to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed
     Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant
     described below under the caption "-- Incurrence of Indebtedness and
     Issuance of Preferred Stock"; and

         (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
     other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted
     Subsidiaries after the date of the indenture (excluding Restricted Payments
     permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12)
     and (13) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without
     duplication, of:

               (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the
         period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
         fiscal quarter commencing immediately prior to the date of the
         indenture to the end of the Company's most recently
                                        82


         ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are
         available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such
         Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such
         deficit); plus

               (b) 100% of the aggregate Qualified Proceeds received by the
         Company since the date of the indenture as a contribution to its common
         equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the
         Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of
         convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or
         exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted
         into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity
         Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a
         Subsidiary of the Company); plus

               (c) the amount equal to the net reduction in any Restricted
         Investment that was made after the date of the indenture resulting from
         payments of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, repayments of the
         principal of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each
         case, to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the cash return
         of capital with respect to any Restricted Investment; plus

               (d) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company
         designated as such after the date of the indenture is redesignated as a
         Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the indenture, the Fair Market
         Value of the Company's Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of
         such redesignation; plus

               (e) in the event the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary makes
         any Investment in a Person that, as a result of or in connection with
         such Investment, becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to
         the Company's or any Restricted Subsidiary's existing Investment in
         such Person that was previously treated as a Restricted Payment
         pursuant to this clause (3); plus

               (f) any amount which was previously treated as a Restricted
         Payment pursuant to this clause (3) on account of any Guarantee entered
         into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary permitted under the
         terms of the indenture; provided that such Guarantee has not been
         called upon and the obligation arising under such Guarantee no longer
         exists.

     The preceding provisions will not prohibit, without duplication:

         (1) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable
     redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or
     giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of
     declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have
     complied with the provisions of the indenture;

         (2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of,
     any or all of the net cash proceeds of the sale within 45 days (other than
     to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other
     than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution
     of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any
     such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment
     will be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph;

         (3) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance, repayment or other
     acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any
     Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to the notes or to any
     Note Guarantee out of any or all the net cash proceeds from a substantially
     concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

         (4) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or
     limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted
     Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro
     rata basis;

                                        83


         (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
     value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Parent held by any
     current or former officer, director, employee or consultants of the Company
     or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Parent; provided that the
     aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or
     retired Equity Interests (after taking into account payments under clause
     (6) of the definition of "Permitted Payments to Parent") may not exceed
     $2.0 million in any twelve-month period (with unused amounts in any
     immediately preceding calendar year being carried over to the next
     succeeding calendar year subject to a maximum carry-over amount of $2.0 in
     any calendar year) plus the net proceeds of key person life insurance
     policies received after the date of the indenture;

         (6) the repurchase of Equity Interests of the Company deemed to occur
     upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests
     represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;

         (7) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued
     dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the
     Company or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary issued on or
     after the date of the indenture in accordance with "-- Incurrence of
     Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock";

         (8) any prepayment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, redemption,
     retirement, defeasance or other acquisition for value of subordinated
     Indebtedness with any Excess Proceeds that remain after consummation of an
     Asset Sale Offer;

         (9) (i) any payment or distribution contemplated by the Acquisition and
     the financing thereof and (ii) payment of fees not in excess of $600,000
     per annum plus customary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to the Management
     Services Agreement, and in each case, including any payments to any Parent
     in order for any Parent to make such payments;

         (10) any repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for
     value of Disqualified Stock of the Company made by exchange for or out of
     proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale of Disqualified Stock that is
     permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described below under
     "-- Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," provided
     any new Disqualified Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference that
     does not exceed the aggregate liquidation preference of the amount so
     refinanced;

         (11) Permitted Payments to Parent;

         (12) the repurchase of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company at
     a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such
     subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to a
     provision similar to "-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders -- Change of
     Control"; provided that prior to consummating any such repurchase, the
     Company has made the Change of Control Offer required by the indenture and
     has repurchased all notes validly tendered for payment in connection with
     such Change of Control Offer;

         (13) the designation of Autocam-Har, Inc., a Michigan corporation, as
     an Unrestricted Subsidiary, but only if, as of the time of such
     designation, such entity does not engage in any activities and owns no
     assets other than those owned as of the date of the indenture; and

         (14) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be
     caused thereby, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to
     exceed $10.0 million since the date of the indenture.

     The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair
Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities
proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair
Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
                                        84


covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose
resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the trustee. The Board of
Directors' determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm that is not an affiliate of any
party receiving all or any part of the Restricted Payment if the Fair Market
Value exceeds $12.5 million.

INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock;
provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on
which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or
such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0
to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the
net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or
the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may
be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

     The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of
any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

         (1) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and the
     Guarantee thereof by the Restricted Subsidiaries) of (i) Indebtedness under
     Credit Facilities (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal
     amount equal to the face amount of the maximum potential liability of the
     Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) and (ii) Indebtedness
     under any Receivables Facility (such amounts outstanding under any such
     Receivables Facility not to exceed, together with the uncollected balance
     of amounts due in respect of the accounts receivable and interests therein
     referred to in clause (16) below, $30.0 million outstanding at any given
     time) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under
     this clause (1) not to exceed the greater of:

               (a) $165.0 million less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds
         of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries since the date of the indenture to repay the principal
         amount of any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay the
         principal amount of any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit
         Facility and effect a corresponding permanent commitment reduction
         thereunder pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption
         "-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders -- Asset Sales"; and

               (b) the Borrowing Base;

         (2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     the Existing Indebtedness;

         (3) the incurrence by the Issuers and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
     represented by the notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on
     the date of the indenture and the Exchange Notes and related Note
     Guarantees to be issued as contemplated by the registration rights
     agreement;

         (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage
     financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the
     purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost
                                        85


     of design, construction, installation or improvement of plant or equipment
     (including the acquisition of any related property in connection with such
     design, construction, installation or improvement) at the time used in the
     business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or within one
     year after completion of construction, installation or improvement in an
     aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing
     Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or
     discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to
     exceed $25.0 million at any time outstanding;

         (5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds
     of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or
     discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was
     permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this
     covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (13) and (17) of this paragraph;

         (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

               (a) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
         Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such
         Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated on terms at least as
         favorable to the notes as the subordination of the notes to the Senior
         Debt to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due
         with respect to the notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note
         Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

               (b) excluding customary pledge arrangements in connection with
         the incurrence of Indebtedness otherwise permitted by the indenture,
         (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests of such
         Subsidiary's Equity Interest that results in any such Indebtedness
         being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
         Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any
         such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a
         Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to
         constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
         Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by
         this clause (6);

         (7) the issuance by any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to the
     Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred
     stock; provided, however, that:

               (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that
         results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than
         the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

               (b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a
         Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock
by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

         (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Hedging Obligations for non-speculative purposes;

         (9) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
     Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that
     was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant;
     provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or
     pari passu with the notes, then the Guarantee will be subordinated or pari
     passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

                                        86


         (10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims,
     unemployment insurance, self-insurance obligations, bankers' acceptances,
     appeal, performance and surety bonds and other obligations of a like nature
     in the ordinary course of business and in any such case any reimbursement
     obligation in connection therewith;

         (11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other
     financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently
     drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered
     within five business days of incurrence;

         (12) obligations from agreements to provide for indemnification,
     adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, earn-outs or other
     similar obligations, or from guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds
     or performance bonds securing the performance of the Company or any
     Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in connection with the acquisition or
     disposition of the assets of the Company or the assets or Capital Stock of
     a Person that is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
     provided that (A) the maximum aggregate liability in connection with any
     such disposition in respect of all such Indebtedness will at no time exceed
     the gross proceeds actually received by the Company and its Subsidiaries in
     connection with such disposition and (B) such Indebtedness is not reflected
     in the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
     (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements
     and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be
     reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (B));

         (13) Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary in an aggregate principal
     amount which does not exceed $15.0 million plus any Indebtedness of a
     Foreign Subsidiary existing at the time it is acquired by the Company or
     any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and not incurred in contemplation
     thereof so long as after giving effect to such acquisition, the Company
     could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the first paragraph of
     this covenant;

         (14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Guarantees of Indebtedness of suppliers, customers,
     franchisees and licensees in the ordinary course of business as approved by
     the Board of Directors of the Company;

         (15) Indebtedness to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly
     deposited to defease the notes as described below under the caption
     "-- Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or to redeem, satisfy or
     discharge the notes;

         (16) all obligations under accounts receivable factoring agreements in
     connection with the sale or transfer (or sale or transfer of interest in)
     accounts receivable and related assets customary in the industry which
     accounts receivable and related assets are not required after such sale or
     transfer to be recorded as assets of the Company on its consolidated
     balance sheet in accordance with GAAP, the uncollected balance of amounts
     due in respect of such accounts receivable and interests therein not to
     exceed, together with Indebtedness under any Receivables Facility incurred
     under clause (1) above, $30.0 million at any time outstanding; and

         (17) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
     (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all
     Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance,
     replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
     clause (17), not to exceed $15.0 million.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this "-- Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an
item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (17) above, or is
entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the
Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of
its incurrence, or later reclassify all or
                                        87


a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this
covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which
notes are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will initially be
deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided
by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt above. The accrual of
interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment
of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the
same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a
change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified
Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock
will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of
Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case,
that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed
Charges of the Company as accrued.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to
this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of
fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

     For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent
principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in
the case of revolving credit debt; provided, that (1) the U.S. dollar-equivalent
principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding or committed on the date
of the indenture will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate
in effect on the date of the indenture, and (2) if such Indebtedness is incurred
to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such
refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be
exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the
date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be
deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such
Indebtedness being refinanced. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred
to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the
Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange
rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

     The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

         (1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any
     Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

         (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other
     Indebtedness; and

         (3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on
     the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

               (a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of
         determination; and

               (b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

NO LAYERING OF DEBT

     The Company will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become liable for any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior
in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and contractually senior
in right of payment to the notes. No Guarantor will incur, create, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is
contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Debt of
such Guarantor and contractually senior in right of payment to such Guarantor's
Note Guarantee. No such Indebtedness will be considered to be senior by virtue
of being secured on a first or junior priority basis and

                                        88


Indebtedness which has different security or different priorities on the same
security will not be deemed subordinate in right of payment to Secured
Indebtedness due to such differences.

LIENS

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing
Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired, unless all payments due under the indenture and the notes are secured
on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as
such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING SUBSIDIARIES

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to:

         (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock
     to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to
     any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay
     any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         (2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries; or

         (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the
     Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

     However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of:

         (1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as
     in effect on the date of the indenture and any amendments, restatements,
     modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements,
     restructurings (including rate increases) or refinancings of those
     agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications,
     renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, restructurings
     (including rate increases) or refinancings are not materially more
     restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other
     payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date
     of the indenture;

         (2) the indenture, the notes, the Exchange Notes, the additional notes
     and the Note Guarantees;

         (3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order including of any
     regulatory body;

         (4) any agreement, instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock
     of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such
     Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in
     contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
     applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other
     than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;
     provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted
     by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;

         (5) customary non-assignment provisions in (a) any lease governing a
     leasehold interest or (b) any contracts and licenses (including, without
     limitation, those relating to intellectual property) entered into in the
     ordinary course of business;

                                        89


         (6) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
     course of business or Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on
     the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of
     the preceding paragraph;

         (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of the Capital
     Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or any assets of the Company or any
     Restricted Subsidiaries that restrict distributions by that Restricted
     Subsidiary or distributions of those assets pending the sale or other
     disposition;

         (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions
     contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing
     Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than
     those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
     refinanced;

         (9) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant
     described above under the caption "-- Liens" that impose restrictions on
     the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of
     the preceding paragraph;

         (10) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or
     property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback
     agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into
     in the ordinary course of business, which limitation is applicable only to
     the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

         (11) customary restrictions on real property interests set forth in
     easements and similar arrangements of the Company or any Restricted
     Subsidiary;

         (12) any encumbrance or restriction existing under or by reason of a
     Receivables Facility or other contractual requirements of a Receivables
     Facility permitted pursuant to the covenant described under "-- Incurrence
     of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock"; provided that such
     restrictions apply only to such Receivables Facility;

         (13) restrictions contained in any other indenture governing debt
     securities of the Company that are not materially more restrictive, taken
     as a whole, than those contained in the indenture governing the notes; and

         (14) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by
     customers or suppliers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course
     of business.

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS

     The Company will not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with
or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving
corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions,
to another Person, unless:

         (1) either: (a) the Company is the surviving corporation; or (b) the
     Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other
     than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance
     or other disposition has been made (i) is a corporation organized or
     existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
     States or the District of Columbia or (ii) is a partnership or limited
     liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United
     States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia that has at least one
     Restricted Subsidiary that is a corporation organized or existing under the
     laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
     which corporation becomes a co-issuer of the notes pursuant to a
     supplemental indenture duly and validly executed by the trustee;

                                        90


         (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
     (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment,
     transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the
     obligations of the Company under the notes, the indenture and the
     registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably
     satisfactory to the trustee;

         (3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
     exists; and

         (4) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such
     consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale,
     assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would,
     on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and
     any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the
     beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at
     least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge
     Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant
     described above under the caption "-- Incurrence of Indebtedness and
     Issuance of Preferred Stock."

     Upon completion of the disposition of all or substantially all of the
property or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4)
above, the Company will be released from any liability under the notes and the
indenture. In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other
Person.

     This "-- Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" covenant will not apply
to:

         (1) a merger of the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of
     reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; or

         (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
     conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the
     Company and its Guarantors that are both Restricted Subsidiaries and
     Domestic Subsidiaries.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or
assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit
of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

         (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms taken as a whole that are not
     less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
     those available in a comparable transaction by the Company or such
     Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

         (2) the Company delivers to the trustee:

               (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
         related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
         excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
         Company set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such
         Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such
         Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
         disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

               (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
         related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
         excess of $12.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction or series of
         related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the
         disinterested directors (or, if there is only one disinterested
         director on the Company's

                                        91


         Board of Directors, such disinterested director) or the Company's Board
         of Directors will have received an opinion as to the fairness to the
         Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a
         financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
         investment banking firm that is not an Affiliate of any party to such
         Affiliate Transaction.

     The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and,
therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

         (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or
     director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement or other
     compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments
     pursuant thereto;

         (2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted
     Subsidiaries;

         (3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary
     of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the
     Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity
     Interest in, or controls, such Person;

         (4) payment of reasonable fees paid to, and indemnity provided on
     behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company and
     its Subsidiaries;

         (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of
     the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

         (6) payments or distributions that do not violate the provisions of the
     indenture described above under the caption "-- Restricted Payments";

         (7) payment of fees not in excess of $600,000 per annum plus customary
     out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to the Management Services Agreement;

         (8) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business
     not to exceed $2.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

         (9) any issuance of securities or other payments pursuant to employment
     arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board
     of Directors;

         (10) the grant of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation
     rights, phantom stock awards or similar rights to employees, directors and
     consultants approved by the Board of Directors;

         (11) any redemption of Capital Stock held by current or former
     employees, directors or consultants at the time of their death, disability,
     termination of employment or departure from the Board of Directors for not
     in excess of fair market value;

         (12) contracts or agreements with, and payments by the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any of its
     Affiliates in connection with any financial advisory, financing,
     underwriting or placement services or any other investment banking, banking
     or similar services, which payments are approved by a majority of the Board
     of Directors in good faith;

         (13) transactions pursuant to or contemplated by the Stockholder
     Agreement as in effect on the date of the Acquisition as the same may be
     amended from time to time in any manner no less favorable to the holders of
     the notes;

         (14) transactions pursuant to any agreement in effect on the date of
     the indenture as the same may be amended from time to time in any manner
     not materially less favorable to the holders of the notes;

         (15) Permitted Payments to Parent or payments permitted under clauses
     (5), (6) and (9) as described under the second paragraph of the caption
     "-- Restricted Payments";
                                        92


         (16) transactions in connection with the Credit Agreement;

         (17) transactions involving the sale of inventory or services in the
     ordinary course of business from the Company or its Subsidiaries to
     Affiliates of Principals; and

         (18) transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except
to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

GUARANTEES

     If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates
another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of the indenture, then that newly
acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a
supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the trustee within 30 business days of the date on which it was acquired or
created or the date on which it becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that this covenant does not apply to (i) any Subsidiary of the Company
that has properly been designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary as described under
the caption "-- Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries" below,
and for so long as it continues to constitute an Unrestricted Subsidiary and
(ii) any Subsidiary not required to become a Guarantor under any existing Credit
Facilities.

DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES

     The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted
Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause
a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as
Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the
designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
the covenant described above under the caption "-- Restricted Payments" or under
one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by
the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be
permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company
may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if
that redesignation would not cause a Default.

     Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such
designation and an officers' certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant
described above under the caption "-- Restricted Payments." If, at any time, any
Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of
such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such
date under the covenant described under the caption "-- Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," the Company will be in default of
such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding
Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be
permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described
under the
                                        93


caption "-- Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock,"
calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the
beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of
Default would be in existence following such designation.

PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

REPORTS

     Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as
any notes are outstanding, the Company is required to furnish to the holders of
notes or cause the trustee to furnish to the holders of notes, within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations:

         (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed
     with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file
     such reports; and

         (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC
     on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

     All such reports are required to be prepared in all material respects in
accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.
Each annual report on Form 10-K is required to include a report on the Company's
consolidated financial statements by the Company's certified independent
accountants. In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer
contemplated by the registration rights agreement, the Company is required to
file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with
the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules
and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such
a filing).

     If, at any time after consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by
the registration rights agreement, the Company is no longer subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company
is nevertheless required to continue filing the reports specified in the
preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods
specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will
not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such
filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the
Company's filings for any reason, the Company will either (i) post the reports
referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website or (ii) deliver the
reports to the holders of notes, in either case within the time periods that
would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

     If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by
the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either
on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

     In addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any
notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the
SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the
holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon
their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to
                                        94


Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until such time as the Company has
either exchanged the notes for the exchange notes which are registered under the
Securities Act or until such time as all holders have disposed of their notes
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     Each of the following is an Event of Default:

         (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, if any,
     the notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the
     indenture;

         (2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or
     otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes, whether
     or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the indenture;

         (3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
     comply with the provisions described under the caption "-- Certain
     Covenants -- Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets";

         (4) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60
     days after notice to the Company by the trustee or the holders of at least
     25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a
     single class to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;

         (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
     there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
     Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now
     exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:

               (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal under any such
         instrument at maturity, and such unpaid portion exceeds $15.0 million
         individually or, together with the principal amount of any other such
         Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default at maturity,
         aggregates $15.0 million or more, and is not paid, or such default is
         not cured or waived, within any grace period applicable thereto, unless
         such Indebtedness is discharged within 20 days of the Company or a
         Restricted Subsidiary becoming aware of such default (a "Payment
         Default"); or

               (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
         express maturity, and the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
         together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under
         which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has
         been so accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more.

         (6) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
     final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction
     aggregating in excess of $15.0 million or dollar equivalent, net of amounts
     covered by insurance, which judgment or decree has remained outstanding for
     a period of 60 days after such judgment or decree becomes final and
     nonappealable without being paid, discharged, waived or stayed;

         (7) except as permitted by the indenture, any Note Guarantee of a
     Significant Subsidiary or any two or more Subsidiary Guarantors that when
     taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary is held in any
     judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason
     to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on
     behalf of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any two or more
     Subsidiary Guarantors that when taken together would constitute a
     Significant Subsidiary, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note
     Guarantee; and

                                        95


         (8) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the
     indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries
     that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

     In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and
payable immediately; provided that so long as any Indebtedness permitted to be
incurred pursuant to the Credit Facilities is outstanding, such acceleration
will not be effective until the earlier of (1) the acceleration of such
Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities or (2) five business days after receipt
by the Company of written notice of such acceleration.

     Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its
exercise of any right or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the
notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest, except any uncured Default or Event of
Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any.

     Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the
trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will
be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the
indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such
holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any
loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no holder of a note
may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

         (1) such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event
     of Default is continuing;

         (2) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
     outstanding notes have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;

         (3) such holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or
     indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

         (4) the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after
     the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

         (5) holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
     outstanding notes have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with
     such request within such 60-day period.

     The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding notes by notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all
of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the
principal of, the notes.

     In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful
action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with
the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had
to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the notes pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions of the indenture, an equivalent premium will also
become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon
the acceleration of the notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to June 15,
2009, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or
on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the notes prior to June 15, 2009, then an additional premium
specified
                                        96


in the indenture will also become and be immediately due and payable to the
extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes.

     The Company is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company
or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the notes, the indenture, the Note Guarantees or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers' certificate, elect to have
all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all
obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees
("Legal Defeasance") except for:

         (1) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in
     respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such notes
     when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

         (2) the Company's obligations with respect to the notes concerning
     issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost
     or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and
     money for security payments held in trust;

         (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee,
     and the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith;
     and

         (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

     In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to
certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and
Asset Sale Offers) that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance")
and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant
Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy,
receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "-- Events
of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the notes.

     In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

         (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust,
     for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
     non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S.
     dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be
     sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
     appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
     principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the outstanding notes
     on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption
     date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the notes
     are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular
     redemption date;

         (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the
     trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
     confirming that (a) the Company has received

                                        97


     from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling
     or (b) since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the
     applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
     based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the
     outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
     income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
     subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
     at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had
     not occurred;

         (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the
     trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
     confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize
     income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
     Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
     amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
     case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

         (4) no Default or Event of Default under clauses (1) or (2) of the
     first paragraph under the caption "-- Events of Default and Remedies" has
     occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a
     Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be
     applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or
     violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or
     other instrument (other than the indenture) to which the Company or any
     Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

         (5) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate
     stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of
     preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Company
     with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any
     creditors of the Company or others; and

         (6) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate
     and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
     relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been
     complied with.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

     Except as provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the indenture
or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes),
and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of
the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent
of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

     Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting
holder):

         (1) reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to
     an amendment, supplement or waiver;

         (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or
     alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes (other
     than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption
     "-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

         (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
     any note;

         (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of,
     or interest or premium, if any, on, the notes (except a rescission of
     acceleration of the notes by the holders

                                        98


     of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
     outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from
     such acceleration);

         (5) make any note payable in money other than that stated in the notes;

         (6) make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to
     waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive
     payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the notes;

         (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other than a
     payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption
     "-- Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

         (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note
     Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the
     indenture; or

         (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

     In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of the
indenture relating to subordination that adversely affects the rights of the
holders of the notes will require the consent of the holders of at least 75% in
aggregate principal amount of notes then outstanding.

     Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes,
the Company, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the
indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees:

         (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

         (2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of
     certificated notes;

         (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a Guarantor's
     obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger
     or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's or
     such Guarantor's assets, as applicable;

         (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
     benefits to the holders of notes including adding a guarantor or that does
     not adversely affect the legal rights under the indenture of any such
     holder in any material respect;

         (5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
     maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

         (6) to conform the text of the indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
     notes to any provision of this Description of Notes to the extent that such
     provision in this Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim
     recitation of a provision of the indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
     notes;

         (7) to provide for the issuance of additional notes and Exchange Notes
     in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the
     date of the indenture;

         (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a
     Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or

         (9) to provide for the release of the Company or any Guarantor from any
     of its obligations under the notes, the additional notes, the Exchange
     Notes the Note Guarantees or the indenture in accordance with the terms of
     the indenture.

                                        99


SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as
to all notes issued thereunder, when:

         (1) either:

               (a) all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen
         or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose
         payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the
         Company, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

               (b) all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for
         cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a
         notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within
         one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or
         caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely
         for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
         Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and
         non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient,
         without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and
         discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the
         trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued
         interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

         (2) no Default or Event of Default under clauses (1) or (2) of the
     first paragraph under the caption "-- Events of Default and Remedies" has
     occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default
     or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to
     such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
     or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or instrument
     to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or
     any Guarantor is bound;

         (3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums
     due and payable by it under the indenture; and

         (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee
     under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
     notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

     In addition, the Company must deliver an officers' certificate and an
opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     If the trustee becomes a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor, the
indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain
cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim
as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other
transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate
such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as
trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or
resign.

     The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee,
subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise
of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his
own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of
any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee security and
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the indenture and
registration rights agreement without charge by writing to Autocam Corporation,
4070 East Paris Avenue Southeast, Kentwood, MI 49512, Attention: Chief Financial
Officer.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

     Except as set forth below, the exchange notes will be issued in the form of
one or more Global Notes (each, a "Global Note"). Each new Global Note will be
deposited on the date of the closing of the exchange of the outstanding notes
for the exchange notes with, or on behalf of, DTC and will be registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee.

     Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole
and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its
nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for
definitive notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except
in the limited circumstances described below. See "-- Exchange of Global Notes
for Certificated Notes." Except in the limited circumstances described below,
owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to
receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

DEPOSITORY PROCEDURES

     The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC,
Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These
operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective
settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Company takes no
responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to
contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

     DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company
created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively,
the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of
transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic
book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include
securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to
DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers
and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with
a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect
Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities
held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect
Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests
in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the
Participants and Indirect Participants.

     DTC has also advised the Company that, pursuant to procedures established
by it:

         (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of
     the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the
     principal amount of the Global Notes; and

         (2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on,
     and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only
     through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by
     the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other
     owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes).

     Investors in Global Notes who are Participants may hold their interests
therein directly through DTC. Investors in Global Notes who are not Participants
may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including
Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants. Investors in the Regulation S
Global Notes must initially hold their interests therein through Euroclear or

                                       101


Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through
organizations that are participants. After the expiration of the Restricted
Period (but not earlier), investors may also hold interests in the Regulation S
Global Notes through Participants in the DTC system other than Euroclear and
Clearstream. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Regulation S
Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers' securities
accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective
depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and
Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a Global Note,
including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the
procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or
Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such
systems. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical
delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the
ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will
be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the
Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the
ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such
interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise
take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a
physical certificate evidencing such interests.

     EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, OWNERS OF INTERESTS IN THE GLOBAL NOTES WILL NOT
HAVE NOTES REGISTERED IN THEIR NAMES, WILL NOT RECEIVE PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF
NOTES IN CERTIFICATED FORM AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED THE REGISTERED OWNERS OR
"HOLDERS" THEREOF UNDER THE INDENTURE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

     Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any,
on, a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable
to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the
terms of the indenture, the Company and the trustee will treat the Persons in
whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners
of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes.
Consequently, neither the Company, the trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

         (1) any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect
     Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
     ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or
     reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect
     Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the
     Global Notes; or

         (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or
     any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

     DTC has advised the Company that its current practice, upon receipt of any
payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and
interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the
payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not
receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with
an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the
principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC.
Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial
owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect
Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the
Company. Neither the Company nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC
or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the
beneficial owners of the notes, and the Company and the trustee may conclusively
rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee
for all purposes.

     Subject to transfer restrictions, transfers between the Participants will
be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day
funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be
effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

                                       102


     Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the
notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the
one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be
effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such
cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in
accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines
(Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be,
will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions
to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its
behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC,
and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for
same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and
Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the
depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

     DTC has advised the Company that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to
whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in
respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to
which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction.
However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right
to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to
distribute such notes to its Participants.

     Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing
procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among
participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to
perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such
procedures at any time. None of the Company, the trustee and any of their
respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC,
Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect
participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures
governing their operations.

EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL NOTES FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES

     A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

         (1) DTC (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
     continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a
     clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the
     Company fails to appoint a successor depositary;

         (2) the Company, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it
     elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

         (3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default
     with respect to the notes.

In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for
Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on
behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes
delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global
Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations,
requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary
procedures) and will bear a restrictive legend unless that legend is not
required by applicable law.

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATED NOTES FOR GLOBAL NOTES

     Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any
Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written
certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such
transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to
such notes.

                                       103


SAME DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT

     The Company will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the
Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest, if any) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its
nominee. The Company will make all payments of principal, interest and premium,
if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated
Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such
holder's registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are
expected to be eligible to trade in The PORTAL(SM) Market and to trade in DTC's
Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading
activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in
immediately available funds. The Company expects that secondary trading in any
Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

     Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or
Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a
Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the
relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement
processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream)
immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Company
that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests
in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a
Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will
be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of
the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date
on which the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
is made (the "Calculation Date"), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be
calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee,
repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of
Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of preferred stock, and

     Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time
     during such four-quarter period; and

         (6) if any Indebtedness (i) bears a floating rate of interest, the
     interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in
     effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire
     period (taking into account any Hedging Obligation applicable to such
     Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term as at the
     Calculation Date in excess of 12 months) and (ii) that was not outstanding
     during the period for which the computation is being made but which bears,

     be computed by applying at the option of the Company either the fixed or
     floating rate.

         (4) the product of (a) all dividends, whether paid or accrued and

                     U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     The following summary describes the material United States federal income
tax consequences and, in the case of a holder that is a non-United States holder
(as defined below), the United States federal estate tax consequences, of
purchasing, owning and disposing of the exchange notes and exchanging the
outstanding notes for the exchange notes.

     This summary deals only with exchange notes held as capital assets
(generally, investment property) and does not deal with special tax situations
such as:

     - dealers in securities or currencies;

     - traders in securities;

     - United States holders, as defined below, whose functional currency is not
       the United States dollar;

     - persons holding exchange notes as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion
       or other integrated transaction;

     - certain United States expatriates;

     - financial institutions;

     - insurance companies; and

     - entities that are tax-exempt for United States federal income tax
       purposes.

     This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of United States federal
income and estate taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your
particular investment or other circumstances. In addition, this summary does not
discuss any United States state or local income or foreign income or other tax
consequences. This summary is based on United States federal income and estate
tax law, including the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the Code, Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial
authority, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Subsequent
developments in United States federal income and estate tax law, including
changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively,
could have a material effect on the United States federal income and estate tax
consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of exchange notes as set forth
in this summary. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the
particular United States federal, state and local and foreign income and other
tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of exchange notes that may
be applicable to you.

UNITED STATES HOLDERS

     The following summary applies to you only if you are a United States
holder, as defined below.

     DEFINITION OF A UNITED STATES HOLDER.  A "United States holder" is a
beneficial owner of an exchange note or notes who or which is for United States
federal income tax purposes:

     - an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

     - a corporation, partnership or other entity classified as a corporation or
       partnership for these purposes created or organized in or under the laws
       of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United
       States, including any State;

     - an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income
       taxation regardless of the source of that income; or

     - a trust, if (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary
       supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States
       persons within the meaning of the Code has the authority to control all
       of the trust's substantial decisions or, (2) the trust has a valid

                                       122


       election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as
       a United States person.

     If a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes holds an exchange note or notes, the United
States federal income tax treatment of a partner in a partnership will generally
depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If
you are a partnership holding notes or a partner in such a partnership, you
should consult your own tax advisor.

     PAYMENTS OF STATED INTEREST.  Payments of stated interest on your exchange
notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. In addition:

     - if you use the cash method of accounting for United States federal income
       tax purposes, you will have to include the stated interest on your
       exchange notes in your gross income at the time you receive the interest;
       and

     - if you use the accrual method of accounting for United States federal
       income tax purposes, you will have to include the stated interest on your
       exchange notes in your gross income at the time the interest accrues.

     MARKET DISCOUNT AND BOND PREMIUM.  If you purchase an exchange note (or
purchased the outstanding note for which the exchange note was exchanged, as the
case may be) at a price that is less than its principal amount (or were deemed
to purchase the outstanding note for which the exchange note was issued at a
price less than its principal amount upon the release of such outstanding note
from escrow), the excess of the principal amount over your purchase price will
be treated as "market discount." However, the market discount will be considered
to be zero if it is less than 1/4 of 1% of the principal amount multiplied by
the number of complete years to maturity from the date you purchased the
exchange note or outstanding note, as the case may be.

     Under the market discount rules of the Code, you generally will be required
to treat any principal payment on, or any gain realized on the sale, exchange,
retirement or other disposition of, an exchange note as ordinary income
(generally treated as interest income) to the extent of the market discount
which accrued but was not previously included in income. In addition, you may be
required to defer, until the maturity of the exchange note or its earlier
disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of your
interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry
the exchange note (or the outstanding note for which the exchange note was
exchanged, as the case may be). In general, market discount will be considered
to accrue ratably during the period from the date of the purchase of the
exchange note (or outstanding note for which the exchange note was exchanged, as
the case may be) to the maturity date of the exchange note, unless you make an
irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to accrue market
discount under a constant yield method. You may elect to include market discount
in income currently as it accrues (under either a ratable or constant yield
method), in which case the rules described above regarding the treatment as
ordinary income of gain upon the disposition of the exchange note and upon the
receipt of certain payments and the deferral of interest deductions will not
apply. The election to include market discount in income currently, once made,
applies to all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first day of
the first taxable year to which the election applies, and may not be revoked
without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service.

     If you purchase an exchange note (or purchased the outstanding note for
which the exchange note was exchanged, as the case may be) for an amount in
excess of the amount payable at maturity of the exchange note (or were deemed to
purchase the outstanding note for which the exchange note was issued for an
amount in excess of the amount payable at maturity upon the release of such
outstanding note from escrow), you will be considered to have purchased the
exchange note (or outstanding note) with "bond premium" equal to the excess of
your purchase price over the amount payable at maturity (or on an earlier call
date if it results in a smaller

                                       123


amortizable bond premium). You may elect to amortize the premium using a
constant yield method over the remaining term of the exchange note (or until an
earlier call date, as applicable). The amortized amount of the premium for a
taxable year generally will be treated first as a reduction of interest on the
exchange note included in such taxable year to the extent thereof, then as a
deduction allowed in that taxable year to the extent of your prior interest
inclusions on the exchange note, and finally as a carryforward allowable against
your future interest inclusions on the exchange note. The election, once made,
is irrevocable without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service and applies
to all taxable bonds held during the taxable year for which the election is made
or subsequently acquired.

     CONSTANT YIELD ELECTION.  As an alternative to the above-described rules
for including interest payments and market discount in income and amortizing
bond premium, you may elect to include in gross income all interest that accrues
on an exchange note, including stated interest, market discount (including de
minimis market discount) and adjustments for bond premium, on the constant yield
method. If such an election were made, you would be deemed to have made an
election to amortize bond premium, which as discussed above applies to all debt
instruments held or subsequently acquired by you. Particularly for United States
holders who are on the cash method of accounting, a constant yield election may
have the effect of causing you to include interest in income earlier than would
be the case if no such election were made, and the election may not be revoked
without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. You should consult your own
tax advisor before making this election.

     SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES.  Upon the sale, exchange,
retirement, redemption or other disposition of an exchange note, you generally
will recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if
any, between the amount realized on the disposition and your adjusted tax basis
in the exchange note. Your adjusted tax basis in an exchange note will generally
equal the cost of the exchange note (or, in the case of an exchange note
acquired in exchange for an outstanding note in the exchange offer, the basis of
the outstanding note), increased by the amount of any market discount previously
included in your gross income, and reduced by the amount of any amortizable bond
premium applied to reduce, or allowed as a deduction against, interest with
respect to your exchange note.

     Your gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss (except with
respect to any amount received that is attributable to accrued but unpaid
interest, which will be taxable in the manner described above under "-- United
States Holders -- Payments of Stated Interest" above, and except with respect to
accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income, as
discussed above under "-- United States Holders -- Market Discount and Bond
Premium"). Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if
the exchange note has been held for more than one year at the time of the
disposition (taking into account for this purpose, in the case of an exchange
note received in exchange for an outstanding note in the exchange offer, the
period of time that the outstanding note was held).

     Subject to limited exceptions, your capital losses cannot be used to offset
your ordinary income. If you are a non-corporate United States holder, your
long-term capital gain generally will be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%,
scheduled to increase to 20% for dispositions occurring in taxable years that
begin on or after January 1, 2009.

     BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING.  In general, "backup
withholding" at a rate of 28%, which rate will increase to 31% for taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2011, may apply:

     - to any payments made to you of principal of and interest on your exchange
       note, and

     - to payment of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of your
       exchange note before maturity,

                                       124


     if you are a non-corporate United States holder and fail to provide a
correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise comply with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. Information reporting may also
apply to payments made with respect to your exchange note.

     The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited
against your United States federal income tax liability, provided that correct
information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.

NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

     The following summary applies to you if you are a beneficial owner of an
exchange note who or which is not a United States holder, as defined above. An
individual may, subject to exceptions, be deemed to be a resident alien, and
therefore, a United States holder, as opposed to a non-resident alien, by
various ways, including being present in the United States:

     - on at least 31 days in the calendar year, and

     - for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending
       in the current calendar year, counting for such purposes all of the days
       present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the
       immediately preceding year, and one-sixth of the days present in the
       second preceding year.

     UNITED STATES FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX.  Under current United States federal
income tax laws, and subject to the discussion below, United States federal
withholding tax will not apply to payments by us or our paying agent, in its
capacity as paying agent, of principal of and interest on your exchange notes
under the "portfolio interest" exception of the Code, provided that you comply
with the following requirements:

     - you do not, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10%
       or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock
       entitled to vote within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Code and
       the Treasury regulations thereunder;

     - you are not (i) a controlled foreign corporation for United States
       federal income tax purposes that is related, directly or indirectly, to
       us through sufficient stock ownership (as provided in the Code), or (ii)
       a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

     - the interest is not effectively connected with your conduct of a United
       States trade or business; and

     - you provide a signed written statement, on an Internal Revenue Service
       Form W-8BEN, or other applicable form which can reliably be related to
       you, certifying under penalties of perjury that you are not a United
       States person within the meaning of the Code and providing your name and
       address to:

       - us or our paying agent; or

       - a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution
         that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or
         business and holds your exchange notes on your behalf and that
         certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it,
         or the bank or financial institution between it and you, has received
         from you your signed, written statement and provides us or our paying
         agent with a copy of this statement.

         The applicable Treasury regulations provide alternative methods for
     satisfying the certification requirement described in this section. In
     addition, under these Treasury regulations:

       - if you are a foreign partnership, the certification requirement will
         generally apply to partners in you, and you will be required to provide
         certain information;

                                       125


       - if you are a foreign trust, the certification requirement will
         generally be applied to you or your beneficial owners depending on
         whether you are a "foreign complex trust," "foreign simple trust," or
         "foreign grantor trust" as defined in the Treasury regulations; and

       - look-through rules will apply for tiered partnerships, foreign simple
         trusts and foreign grantor trusts.

     If you are a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, you should consult
your own tax advisor regarding your status under these Treasury regulations and
the certification requirements applicable to you.

     If you cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio interest"
exception described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to
30% United States federal withholding tax, unless you provide us or our paying
agent with a properly executed (1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or other
applicable form stating that the interest paid on an exchange note is not
subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct
of a trade or business in the United States, or (2) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or other applicable form claiming an exemption from or reduction in
this withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty.

     UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX.  Except for the possible application of
United States federal withholding tax discussed under "-- Non-United States
Holders -- United States Federal Withholding Tax" above and backup withholding
tax discussed under "-- Non-United States Holders -- Backup Withholding and
Information Reporting" below, you generally will not have to pay United States
federal income tax on payments of principal of and interest on your exchange
notes, or on any gain or accrued interest realized from the sale, redemption,
retirement at maturity or other disposition of your exchange notes (provided
that, in the case of proceeds representing accrued interest, the conditions
described in "United States federal withholding tax" are met) unless:

     - in the case of interest payments or disposition proceeds representing
       accrued interest, you cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio
       interest" exception described above;

     - in the case of gain, you are an individual who is present in the United
       States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other
       disposition of your exchange notes, and specific other conditions are
       met; or

     - the interest, gain or other income is effectively connected with your
       conduct of a United States trade or business, and, if an income tax
       treaty applies, is generally attributable to a United States "permanent
       establishment" maintained by you.

     If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and
interest, gain or any other income in respect of your exchange notes is
effectively connected with the conduct of your trade or business, and, if an
income tax treaty applies, you maintain a United States "permanent
establishment" to which the interest, gain or other income is generally
attributable, you may be subject to United States income tax on a net basis on
the interest, gain or other income; although interest is exempt from the
withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraphs provided that you provide
a properly executed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or other
applicable form on or before any payment date to claim the exemption.

     In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a
branch profits tax equal to 30% of your effectively connected earnings and
profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless a lower rate
applies to you under a United States income tax treaty with your country of
residence. For this purpose, you must include interest, gain or income on your
exchange notes in the earnings and profits subject to the branch profits tax if
these amounts are effectively connected with the conduct of your United States
trade or business.

     UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE TAX.  If you are an individual and are not a
United States citizen or a resident of the United States, as specially defined
for United States federal estate tax

                                       126


purposes, at the time of your death, your exchange notes will generally not be
subject to the United States federal estate tax, unless, at the time of your
death:

     - you directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more
       of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled
       to vote within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Code and the
       Treasury regulations thereunder; or

     - your interest on the exchange notes is effectively connected with your
       conduct of a United States trade or business.

     BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING.  Under current Treasury
regulations, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to
payments made by us or our paying agent in its capacity as paying agent to you
if you have provided the required certification that you are a non-United States
holder as described in "-- Non-United States Holders -- United States Federal
Withholding Tax" above, and provided that neither we nor our paying agent has
actual knowledge that you are a United States holder as described in "-- United
States Holders" above. We or our paying agent may, however, report payments of
interest on the exchange notes.

     The gross proceeds from the disposition of your exchange notes may be
subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax at a rate of up to
28% which rate will increase to 31% for taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011. If you sell your exchange notes outside the United States
through a non-United States office of a broker and the sales proceeds are paid
to you outside the United States, then the United States backup withholding and
information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment.
However, United States information reporting, but not backup withholding, will
apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the
United States, if you sell your exchange notes through a non-United States
office of a broker that:

     - is a United States person as defined in the Code;

     - derives 50% or more of its gross income in specific periods from the
       conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

     - is a "controlled foreign corporation" for United States federal income
       tax purposes; or

     - is a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year:

       - one or more of its partners are United States persons who in the
         aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the
         partnership; or

       - the foreign partnership is engaged in a United States trade or
         business,

unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that you are a
non-United States person and certain other conditions are met or you otherwise
establish an exemption. If you receive payments of the proceeds of a sale of
your exchange notes to or through a United States office of a broker, the
payments are subject to both United States backup withholding and information
reporting unless you provide a Form W-8BEN certifying that you are a non-United
States person or you otherwise establish an exemption.

     You should consult your own tax advisor regarding application of backup
withholding in your particular circumstances and the availability of and
procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding under current
Treasury regulations. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules
from a payment to you will be allowed as a refund or credit against your United
States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     This prospectus is to be used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. in connection with
offers and sales of the notes in market-making transactions effected from time
to time. Goldman, Sachs & Co. may act as principal or agent in such
transactions. Such sales will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of
sale, at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any
of the proceeds from such sales.

     GSCP 2000 and other private equity funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs &
Co. own 40.1% of the common stock of Parent. See "Principal stockholders." Under
the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a "market-making"
prospectus in order to allow Goldman, Sachs & Co. to engage in market-making
activities for the notes after completion of the exchange offer. Goldman, Sachs
& Co., an affiliate of GSCP 2000 and its related investment funds, acted as an
initial purchaser in the offering. Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., an
affiliate of GSCP 2000 and its related investment funds, was the joint lead
arranger, joint book runner, syndication agent and a lender under our new senior
credit facilities. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may in
the future engage in commercial banking, investment banking or other financial
advisory transactions with us and our affiliates. See "Related Party
Transactions."

     We have been advised by Goldman, Sachs & Co. that, subject to applicable
laws and regulations, it currently intends to make a market in the notes
following the completion of the exchange offer. However, Goldman, Sachs & Co. is
not obligated to do so, and any such market-making may be interrupted or
discontinued at any time without notice.

     We and Goldman, Sachs & Co. have entered into a registration rights
agreement with respect to the use by Goldman, Sachs & Co. of this prospectus.
Pursuant to such agreement, we agreed to indemnify Goldman, Sachs & Co. against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and to
contribute to payments which Goldman, Sachs & Co. might be required to make in
respect thereof.

     Pursuant to a stockholders agreement entered into in connection with the
closing of the acquisition, Parent entered into a stockholders agreement with
GSCP 2000, other private equity funds affiliated with GSCP 2000, TRP, other
investment vehicles affiliated with TRP and John C. Kennedy, our president. The
stockholders agreement provides each of GSCP 2000 and TRP the right to designate
two members of the board of directors. See "Management -- Stockholders
Agreement."

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Titan Holdings, Inc.,

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Titan Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. 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 standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2003
and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2001 the
Company changed its method of accounting for derivative instruments to conform
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended and interpreted. In
2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The Company also changed its method
of accounting for costs associated with exit and disposal activities to conform
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities", in 2002.

                              TITAN HOLDINGS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Titan Holdings, Inc. ("Titan"), a Delaware holding
company, and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries, including Autocam
Corporation ("Autocam"), a Michigan corporation (together, the "Company"). The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
All figures in these Notes are expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS -- The Company designs and manufactures
close-tolerance, specialty metal-alloy components for mechanical and
electromechanical systems using turning, grinding and milling processes.
Currently, the Company manufactures components for use on fuel, power steering,
braking, air bag and electromechanical systems for the transportation industry
and medical devices for the ophthalmic and cardiovascular surgery industries.
The Company has four manufacturing locations in the United States, five in
France and three in Brazil. Customers are located in virtually all areas of the
world, with the exception of the continent of Africa.

     ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes
the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS of the Company consist principally of cash and
equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, debt and related interest
contracts. The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate estimated
fair value, except for the interest contracts. The Company has determined the
estimated fair value amounts using available market information and valuation
methodologies (see Note 5).

     RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001
and 2002 presentations in order to conform to the 2003 presentation.

     CASH AND EQUIVALENTS consist of highly-liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -- During 2002, the Company entered into an accounts
receivable financing facility under which accounts receivable were sold without
recourse to an unrelated third party, resulting in reductions of accounts
receivable of $9,095 and $14,244 at December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The Company accounts for the sales of receivables in accordance with the
requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. Net discounts
recognized on sales of receivables of $71 and $181 for the years ended December
31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, are included in Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses, while certain financing charges of $126 and $295 for
each respective period are included in Net Other Expenses.

     INVENTORIES -- are stated at the lower of actual cost, on a first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis, or market.

                                       F-7

                              TITAN HOLDINGS, INC.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:

<Table>
                                                            
Buildings and improvements..................................   31 years
Leasehold improvements......................................   3 to 12 years
Machinery and equipment.....................................   3 to 12 years
Furniture and fixtures......................................   5 to 10 years
</Table>

     Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are charged to expense. When properties are retired or sold,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any gain or loss on disposition is recognized in the results of operations.
Gains arising from sale and leaseback transactions are deferred for amortization
to income over the lives of the related operating leases.

     GOODWILL consists of amounts paid in excess of the fair value of acquired
net assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, in January 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill shall not be amortized,
but be subject to impairment testing. The Company performed impairment testing
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 upon adoption and during the
fourth quarters of 2002 and 2003. The fair value of goodwill recorded, which was
estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, was determined
to be in excess of that recorded in the Company's December 31, 2002 and 2003
balance sheets. Amortization expense totaled $3,417 in 2001. If SFAS No. 142 had
been adopted as of January 1, 2001, amortization expense recorded in 2001 would
have been eliminated, which would have resulted in net income of $2,058 in 2001.

     EQUIPMENT DEPOSITS AND OTHER LONG-TERM ASSETS consists primarily of
deposits on equipment to be placed into service in the future of $3,366 and
$4,739 as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, debt issue costs of
$2,792 and $2,119 as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively (amortized over
the terms of the bank facilities), the cash surrender value of keyman life
insurance policies, and receivables from officers and certain key employees
under split-dollar life insurance agreements (see Note 9).

     ACCOUNTS PAYABLE includes the reclassification from Cash and Equivalents
outstanding checks, net of related cash balances, totaling $2,643 and $4,428 as
of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Sales are recognized at the time product is shipped
to the customer, at which time title and risk of ownership transfer to the
purchasers.

     INCOME TAXES -- Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future.
Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted
tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities (see Note 7).

     DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- The Company manages interest rate risk
on a portion of its bank debt through the use of interest rate swap agreements.
The Company also manages certain foreign currency exchange risk in relation to
equipment purchases through the limited use of foreign currency futures
contracts to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on firm

                                       F-8

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

commitments to purchase equipment. No such contracts related to equipment
purchases were outstanding at December 31, 2002 or 2003. See Note 5 related to
outstanding interest contracts. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
subsequent amendments thereto, in 2001.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- The Company applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plan.
Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the estimated market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the
grant (see Note 10). Had stock-based employee compensation cost of the Company's
stock option plan been determined based upon the fair value at the grant dates
for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, the Company's net
income (loss) would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     The fair value of the Company's stock options issued in 2002 was set equal
to the amount the Company received for common stock sold in connection with the
purchase of Bouverat Industries, S.A. ("Bouverat") in December 2000 and the
exchange of the minority interest in its Brazilian subsidiary for its common
stock in 2002 ($16 per share). The intrinsic value approach was used to value
all option grants, with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free
interest rate, 4%-4.88%; and expected life of options, 10 years.

     ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- The Company adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, in December 2002, which
supercedes FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity. SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a liability for costs associated
with exit and disposal activities when a liability is incurred, as opposed to
when an entity commits to an exit plan as required under EITF Issue No. 94-3.
The Company closed and transferred its Chicago, Illinois operation to other
facilities in June 2003. The Company incurred related employee termination and
plant closing costs of $121 and $879 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2003, respectively. The Company also incurred $534 of costs associated with the
termination of its building lease and other ancillary costs upon ceasing use of
the facility, $334 of which remains as a liability at December 31, 2003. All of
the aforementioned expenses are included in Cost of Sales.

     SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits, was revised in December 2003. It requires additional
disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost
of defined benefit pension plans and enhanced disclosures of management's
assumptions related to discount rates, investment returns and salary
assumptions. This statement is effective for the Company for the year ending
December 31, 2004.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     On June 19, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Har Technologies,
Inc., an Illinois corporation, for $4,138, and assumed certain liabilities
totaling $589. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and therefore the purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired based upon relative fair market values. Cost in excess of the fair
value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) of $401 was recorded in connection
with this business combination.

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining quotas, or
stock, of its Brazilian subsidiary, which it did not previously own in exchange
for 35,000 shares of the Company's Series B preferred stock and 218,750 shares
of its common stock. The value placed on the stock exchanged was $7,000. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and
therefore the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon relative fair market values. Cost in excess of the fair value
of the net assets acquired (goodwill) of $1,747 was recorded in connection with
this business combination.

     The Company has a banking agreement (the "Agreement") with a bank group
that includes a 59,695 euro term note, two 6,764 euro term notes, $50,000 and
$17,000 term notes and a $40,000 revolving credit facility. The bank group has
reserved $188 against the availability under this facility for a letter of
credit issued to the landlord of one of its North American facilities. As of
December 31, 2003, the remaining availability under the revolving credit
facility was $16,253 as limited by the leverage ratio (see below). Interest
rates paid on all term notes are variable in nature; however, the Agreement
allows management to fix such rates for periods up to one year.

     The Agreement includes covenants prohibiting the Company from exceeding
certain leverage and coverage ratios based primarily upon earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. Debt under the
Agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company resident in
the United States of America and a percentage of the common stock of certain of
the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

     The Company manages interest rate risk on a portion of its bank debt
through the use of interest rate swaps and collars. The Company recorded, based
on the fair market value of the interest contracts at January 1, 2001, a
transition adjustment of $1,091 (net of related income tax benefits of
approximately $563) in Comprehensive Income and recognized a derivative
instrument

a decrease of $853 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively) are recorded in Net Interest Expense. As of December 31, 2002 and

leases, which generally contain renewal and purchase options at fair market
value at the end of the lease terms. The Company leases other buildings under
cancelable operating leases, which contain renewal options every three years in
accordance with French law.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Rent expense under operating leases summarized above was $5,653, $7,801 and
$11,404 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Company had non-cancelable purchase
commitments for machinery and equipment totaling $12,254 some of which may be
assigned to financing companies under operating lease agreements. In accordance
with terms of the purchase agreements, final acceptance of such equipment is
contingent upon the equipment demonstrating certain capabilities as documented
in Company purchase orders.

     The Company guarantees the performance under certain equipment leases of an
unrelated vendor that provides services to the Company within one of the
Company's European production facilities. The cost associated with those
services is reflected in the Cost of Goods sold. The obligations under these
leases end at various times between May 2004 and February 2009. At December 31,
2003, the Company's maximum liability under these guarantees was $6,494, which
was not recorded in its financial statements. In the event of default by the
vendor, the Company would become primarily responsible for the lease obligations
and assume control of the equipment subject to the lease which has a fair market
value in excess of the present value of the future minimum lease payments.

9.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

in France. In January 2002, a partnership in which the Company's President has a
50% interest reimbursed the Company for the amounts paid in 2001. The Company
now occupies the building subject to a 12-year operating lease, which expires in
July 2014. Annual rent is due in quarterly installments subject to annual
increases based upon an index tied to France's national public construction
costs. Rent expense recorded in connection with this lease agreement during the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 were $205 and $588, respectively.

     Monthly management fees totaling $761, $557 and $530 for the years ended

11.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company maintains a self-funded medical and dental plan for its
Kentwood and Marshall and certain of its Dowagiac, Michigan full-time employees.
A third-party administrator makes benefit payments, and an estimate of the
Company's liability for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims is included
in Other Accrued Liabilities. Employees of the Company's other subsidiaries are
enrolled in various insured group or governmental health plans.

     The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan (the "401k Plan") for all
qualified full-time employees resident in the United States. The 401k Plan
provides for an annual discretionary employer matching contribution that has
historically been dollar-for-dollar up to two thousand dollars. Expense incurred
in connection with the 401k Plan was $862, $841 and $819 for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

     The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans for substantially all
employees of its French subsidiaries. These benefits are calculated based on
each employee's years of credited service and most recent monthly compensation
and service category. The obligations for the plan sponsored by Frank & Pignard
(the "F&P Plan") are not funded and the obligations for the plan sponsored by
Bouverat (the "Bouverat Plan") are partially funded. Accordingly, the unfunded
obligations are included in Deferred Credits and Other Long-Term Liabilities.
Employees become vested in accordance with governmental regulations in place at
the time of retirement under both plans. In 2002, the Company eliminated the
discretionary premium of the F&P Plan, thereby reducing 2002 net periodic
pension cost by $1,303.

     For the purpose of calculating the actuarial present value of the benefit
obligation under the F&P and Bouverat Plans, discount and compensation growth
rates of 5% and 2-3%, respectively, and an average retirement age of 60 years
were assumed.

     The actuarial present values of the benefit obligations under the F&P and
Bouverat Plans as of December 31 are calculated as follows:

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On June 21, 2004, Micron Merger Corporation, a newly formed entity and
wholly owned subsidiary of Micron Holdings, Inc. acquired and merged with and
into Titan, with Titan continuing as the surviving corporation (the
"Acquisition"). The total amount of consideration paid in the Acquisition,
including amounts related to the repayment of indebtedness, the redemption of
the outstanding common and preferred stock of Titan and the payment of
transaction costs incurred by Titan, was approximately $395 million. The
acquisition was financed with the net proceeds from the issuance of $140 million
in senior subordinated notes (the "Notes"), borrowings under our new senior
credit facilities and a common equity contribution of $143 million by GS Capital
Partners 2000, L.P. ("GSCP 2000"), other private equity funds affiliated with
GSCP 2000, Transportation Resource Partners LP ("TRP"), other investment
vehicles affiliated with TRP, and the Company's president.

     In connection with the Acquisition, the Insurance Receivables due from
executive managers of the Company, including its President, were forgiven. The
amounts due from those individuals at December 31, 2002 and 2003 were $1,606 and
$1,779, respectively.

     At the time of the Acquisition, Autocam refinanced its outstanding bank
debt (see Note 5) with the financings from the Acquisition, including the
proceeds from the Notes. In connection therewith, Titan and certain, but not
all, of the subsidiaries of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Autocam, fully and
unconditionally guaranteed the Notes. The following table sets forth the
guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries of Autocam:

                              TITAN HOLDINGS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (the
"Financial Statements") include the accounts of Titan Holdings, Inc. ("Titan")
and its subsidiaries (together, the "Company"), which includes Autocam
Corporation ("Autocam"), a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Financial Statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes normally
included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. All tabular amounts in thousands, unless otherwise
noted.

     In the opinion of management, the Financial Statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly such information in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- The Company applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plan. This plan
was terminated in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 2). Accordingly, no
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options
granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the estimated market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Had stock-based
employee compensation cost of the Company's stock option plan been determined
based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under this plan
consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, the Company's net income (loss) would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     The intrinsic value approach was used to value all option grants, with the
following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate, 4%-4.88%; and
expected life of options, 10 years.

     GUARANTEES -- The Company guarantees the performance under certain
equipment leases of an unrelated vendor that provides services to the Company
within one of the Company's European production facilities. The cost associated
with those services is reflected in Cost of Goods Sold. The obligations under
these leases end at various times between May 2004 and February 2009. At
December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004, the Company's maximum liability under these
guarantees was $6,494 and $5,487, respectively, which were not recorded in the
Financial Statements. In the event of default by the vendor, the Company would
become primarily responsible for the lease obligations and assume control of the
equipment subject to the lease which has a fair market value in excess of the
present value of the future minimum lease payments.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

     On June 21, 2004, Micron Merger Corporation, a newly formed entity and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron Holdings, Inc. ("Micron"), merged with and
into Titan with Titan continuing as the surviving corporation (the
"Acquisition"). As a result, Titan became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron.
The total amount of consideration paid in the Acquisition, including amounts
related to the repayment of indebtedness, the redemption of the outstanding
preferred stock of Titan, payments to common shareholders of Titan and the
payment of transaction costs incurred by Titan, was $395 million. The
Acquisition was financed with the net proceeds from the issuance of $140 million
of senior subordinated notes of the Company, which are guaranteed by Titan (the
"Notes"), borrowings under the Company's new senior credit facilities of $115.1
million and combined common equity contributions of $143.4 million by GS Capital
Partners 2000, L.P. ("GSCP 2000"), other private equity funds affiliated with
GSCP 2000, Transportation Resource Partners LP ("TRP"), other investment
vehicles affiliated with TRP, and the Company's president.

     In connection with the Acquisition, receivables from certain key employees
owed in connection with a life insurance program, collateralized by the cash
surrender value of the related policies, were forgiven. The amounts due from
those individuals at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004 were $1,779 and $1,887,
respectively.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
upon their preliminary relative fair market values. Cost in excess of the fair
value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) was $249,371, allocated among the
Company's operating segments as follows: North America -- $116,227, Europe --
$124,486 and South America -- $8,658. Goodwill deductible for tax purposes will
be approximately $4.2 million. The results of operations and cash flows of Titan
(as predecessor company) have been reported through June 30, 2004.

     Set forth below are unaudited pro forma statements of operations
information for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, which are based
upon the historical Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company for
those periods after giving effect to the Acquisition as if such transaction had
occurred at the beginning of each period presented. These pro forma results are
based upon assumptions considered appropriate by Company management and include
adjustments as considered necessary in the circumstances. Such adjustments
include interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the purchase,
less depreciation expense based on the fair market value of the property and
equipment acquired and the corresponding tax effects of each. These pro forma
results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to
be indicative of results which would have actually been reported had the
Acquisition taken place at the beginning of each period presented or which may
be reported in the future.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Sections 561 - 571 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act ("MBCA"), grant
the Registrant broad powers to indemnify any person in connection with legal
proceedings brought against him by reason of his present or past status as an
officer or director of the Registrant, provided that the person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Registrant and its shareholders, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. The MBCA also gives the Registrant powers to indemnify any such
person against reasonable expenses in connection with any action by or in the
right of the Registrant, provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant and its shareholders, except that no indemnification may be made if
such person is adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, or in connection with
any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director whether or not
involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was
held liable on the basis that the personal benefit was improperly received by
the director. In addition, to the extent that any such person is successful in
the defense of any such legal proceeding, the Registrant is required by the MBCA
to indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, that are actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

     The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and By-laws contain provisions
entitling directors and executive officers of the Registrant to indemnification
against certain liabilities and expenses to the full extent permitted by
Michigan law. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that its
directors are not personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duties. However, the
Articles of Incorporation do not eliminate or limit directors' liability for any
of the following:

     - a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
       shareholders;

     - acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
       misconduct or knowing violation of law;

     - a violation of Section 551(1) of the MBCA; or

     - any act or omission occurring before the effective date of the Articles.

     Under an insurance policy maintained by the Registrant, the directors and
officers of the Registrant are insured within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policy, against certain

                                       II-1


expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or
proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such
claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by
reason of being or having been such directors and officers.

         aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
         increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
         dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
         maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
         with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
         in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
         aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
         Fee" table in effective registration statement; and

               (iii) to include any material information with respect to the
         plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
         statement or any material change to such information in the
         registration statement;

         (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
     new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
     the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
     initial bona fide offering thereof;

         (3) to remove from registration means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering;

                                       II-5


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer of controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
