                                     PART II

         If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

x        (a)      The reasons described in detail in Part III of this form
could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

x        (b)      The subject annual report on Form 10-K will be filed on or
before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

         (c)      The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K could not be
filed within the prescribed time period.

         As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2000
         by Key Plastics L.L.C. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission, the Company and certain of its domestic affiliates filed a
         voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United
         States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
         Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, on March 23, 2000
         (case no. 00-44478-R).

         The Company's audit is not complete. In addition, the retention of the
         Company's independent accountants has yet to be approved by the U.S.
         Bankruptcy Court. Once approved, the Company anticipates that it will
         file its Form 10-K within the 15 calendar day time limit prescribed
         under rule 12b-25 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934, as amended.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

         (1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

Mark W. Peters                       313              568-5333
(Name)                               (Area Code)      (Telephone Number)

         (2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s). x Yes No

         (3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof? Yes x No

         If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
