                           PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and 
consolidated balance sheet (collectively, the "Pro Forma Statements") of the
Company were prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the    
acquisition of certain assets of Giliardini S.p.A., an Italian Corporation, and
Gilardini Poland Sp.Z.0.0., as well as all of the outstanding common stock of
Sepi S.p.A., an Italian Corporation (collectively, the Fiat Seat Business, or
"FSB") and the related incurrence of debt to finance such acquisition, (ii) the
acquisition of certain assets of the Plastic and Trim Products Division of Ford
Motor Company as well as all of the outstanding common stock of Favesa, S.A. de
C.V., a Mexican Corporation (collectively, the North American Business, or
"NAB") and the related incurrence of debt to finance such acquisition, (iii) 
refinancings of the Company's Original Credit Agreement and the incurrence of
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement to retire the GECC Mortgage Loan        
and to refinance the term loans outstanding under the Company's Original Credit
Agreement, (iv) the issuance of $145 million of 8 1/4% Subordinated Notes and
the application of the net proceeds therefrom to redeem the 14% Subordinated
Debentures, (v) the issuance of 7,187,500 shares of common stock and the
application of the net proceeds to the Company therefrom to repay indebtedness
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and (vi) the elimination of a one-time
charge for incentive stock and other compensation expense (collectively, the
"Pro Forma Transactions"), as if the Pro Forma Transactions had occurred on the
date or as of the beginning of each period presented.

The Pro Forma Statements do not purport to represent what the Company's 
financial position or results of operations would actually have been if such
transactions in fact had occurred on the date or at the beginning of the
periods indicated or to project the Company's financial position or results of
operations for any future period.         

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma Statements
and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of the Company, the FSB and the NAB, including the notes
thereto.
