See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 6 LDM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended March 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 28, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 29, 2002. 2. Commitments and Contingencies There have been no significant changes in commitments and contingencies from the matters described in footnote 11 of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2002. 3. Reclassification The Company incurs certain expenditures at its plant locations. In the past, these expenditures have been classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that these expenditures are more accurately characterized as cost of sales expenses as they directly support manufacturing activities within the manufacturing facilities. As a result, for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2002, these expenses have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales. There was no impact to net earnings or equity resulting from this reclassification. 4. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company's fair values of the swap and the collar (refer to footnote 1 of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2002) are reported on the balance sheet with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended ("FAS 133"). The Company has reported the fair value of these derivatives as a liability of $3.6 million, which is included as a component of accrued liabilities at March 30, 2003. The change in fair value for the three and six-month periods ended March 30, 2003 resulted in other expense of $503,000 and $54,000, respectively. The change in fair value for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2002 resulted in other income of $229,000 and other expense of $209,000, respectively. 5. Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2003 was 41.5% compared to 41.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2002. The interim effective rates are estimated based upon fiscal year operating forecasts. The effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to certain nondeductible expenses. 7 LDM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 6. Related Party Transactions During fiscal year 2002, the Company acquired certain assets and the booked business of Security Plastics West, Ltd., located in McAllen, Texas. As part of the transaction the Company is leasing the building and real estate in McAllen from a company majority owned by the Company's two shareholders. The leased facility is approximately 73,000 square feet and annual rentals approximate $300 thousand. The lease has an initial term of 8 years with an option to renew at the end of the initial lease term. In fiscal year 2002, the Company paid rentals for the McAllen manufacturing facility of approximately $190 thousand. To date in fiscal year 2003, the Company paid rentals for the same facility of approximately $150 thousand. Terms of the lease are not the result of arms-length bargaining, however, the Company believes that the lease is on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained if such lease was an arms-length transaction with nonaffiliated persons. The Company and its two shareholders are parties to a binding stock redemption agreement which may be terminated by mutual agreement of the parties. Upon the death of either shareholder, the Company is required to purchase and the shareholder's estate is required to sell all of the shareholder's stock at a price equal to $25 million, subject to subsequent adjustment. This amount payable includes the proceeds of the life insurance policies owned by the Company on each shareholder's life. Any shortfall between the insurance proceeds and the amount payable to the shareholder's estate will require funding by the Company, subject to restrictions in the Company's loan agreements. The Company maintains life insurance policies of $17.0 million on the life of one shareholder and $25.0 million on the life of the other shareholder. The annual premiums for such policies of insurance are approximately $1.5 million. The Company is prohibited from assigning, pledging or borrowing against these life insurance policies without the consent of the insured shareholder. 7. Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment and Restructuring The three month period ended March 30, 2003 includes a $776 thousand loss related to the disposal of certain property, plant and equipment. Within the quarter ended March 30, 2003, the Company wrote off $600 thousand of special purpose equipment due to the loss of future sales caused by the elimination of certain parts it produced. The parts elimination was caused by a design change initiated by a customer. Annual sales related to the product eliminated approximated $5 million in previous fiscal years. Due to recent production cuts announced by its customers and to eliminate future storage costs, the Company also within the quarter ended March 30, 2003, disposed of certain machinery and equipment stored in offsite facilities. The equipment was sold for a minimal amount and resulted in a loss approximating $175 thousand. The three month period ended March 31, 2002 includes $1.3 million for expenses associated with employee severance at the Company's Canadian subsidiary. Such expense has been included as a component of cost of goods sold. The employee severance relates to the downsizing of the subsidiary facility from three shifts to one shift as certain unprofitable product lines were exited. The severance costs accrued relate to approximately 345 employees. 8. Supplemental Guarantor Information The 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, the Senior Credit Facility, the standby letters of credit with respect to the Multi-Option Adjustable Rate Notes, the Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds and the Senior Term Loan, as more fully described in footnotes 6 and 7 of the Company's 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 29, 2002, filed December 6, 2002, are obligations of LDM Technologies, Inc. The obligations are guaranteed fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally by LDM Canada and certain holding companies. Supplemental consolidating financial information of LDM Technologies, Inc. and LDM Canada (including the related holding company guarantors) is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented on the equity method of accounting. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not provided because management has concluded that the summarized financial information below provides sufficient information to allow investors to separately determine the nature of the assets held by and the operations of LDM Technologies, Inc., and the guarantor subsidiaries. 8 LDM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "expect" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company or its management, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that the actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to: (i) general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates or will operate; (ii) fluctuations in worldwide or regional automobile and light and heavy truck production; (iii) labor disputes involving the Company or its significant customers or suppliers; (iv) changes in practices and/or policies of the Company's significant customers toward outsourcing automotive components and systems; (v) foreign currency and exchange fluctuations; and (vi) other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 29, 2002. Certain of the accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. GOODWILL Goodwill totaled $50.2 million at March 30, 2003, and represented approximately 21.9% of total assets. The majority of the goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of Molmec, Inc. and Huron Plastics Group, Inc. which were completed in fiscal year 1997 and fiscal year 1998, respectively. Effective October 1, 2001, the Company elected to early adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under this standard, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Under Statement No. 142 the Company estimates the fair value of goodwill at each of its reporting units. Estimated fair value was based upon discounted cash flows. The results of the Company's Statement No. 142 analysis indicate that no reduction in goodwill is required. Statement No. 142 requires the Company to perform impairment tests of goodwill on an annual basis (or more frequently if impairment indicators exist). INCOME TAXES The Company provides an estimate of actual current tax due together with an assessment of temporary differences resulting from the treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheets. Based on known and projected earnings information and any available tax planning strategies, the Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered. To the extent that the Company believes recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. At March 30, 2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets, after valuation allowances, of $1.1 million. Deferred tax assets in Canada relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards (NOL's) for which the Company has recognized a valuation allowance of $1.6 million. In the United States realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income. Based on consideration of historical and future earnings before income taxes, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets, beyond those specifically reserved, will be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred taxes and related valuation allowances quarterly. If at any time the Company believes that current or future taxable income will not support the basis for recognizing the benefit of the deferred tax assets, valuation allowances are provided accordingly. 17 ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management's evaluation of customer productivity reimbursement programs and historical experience. The allowance amount at March 30, 2003 and September 29, 2002 was $0.5 million. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 2003 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 NET SALES: Net sales for the three-month period ended March 30, 2003 (second quarter 2003) were $109.2 million versus $90.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 (second quarter 2002). This is an increase of $18.9 million or 20.9%. The increase in net sales is primarily due to the launch of new products from the Company's facility in Romulus, Michigan in March and August of 2002. The Romulus facility reported $23.3 million in net sales for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2002. GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $19.8 million or 18.1% of net sales for second quarter 2003 versus $12.0 million or 13.3% of net sales for second quarter 2002. The gross margin improvement is due to sales generated at the Romulus facility offsetting fixed costs at the facility in 2003 but not in 2002. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for second quarter 2003 were $9.8 million or 9.0% of net sales, compared to $8.9 million or 9.9% of net sales for second quarter 2002. Expense has increased in dollars due to the reinstatement of certain employee benefits as the Company has returned to profitability. INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $4.0 million for second quarter 2003 compared to $4.3 million for second quarter 2002. The decrease in interest expense is due to scheduled debt repayments, a decrease in variable interest rates and lower average borrowings outstanding on the Company's line of credit. LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: The three month period ended March 30, 2003 includes $776 thousand for expense related to the disposal of certain property, plant and equipment. This includes approximately $600 thousand of special purpose equipment written off due to the elimination of certain parts by a customer and approximately $175 thousand of unutilized general purpose equipment written off. INCOME TAXES: The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2003 was 41.5% compared to 38.7% for the second quarter 2002. The interim effective rates are estimated based upon fiscal year operating forecasts. The effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to certain nondeductible expenses. SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 NET SALES: Net sales for the six-month period ended March 30, 2003 (first half 2003) were $217.5 million versus $185.7 million for the six-month period ended March 31, 2002 (first half 2002). This is an increase of $31.8 million or 17.1%. The increase in net sales is due to the launch of new products from the Company's facility in Romulus, Michigan in March and August of 2002, offset by the exit of certain product lines at the Company's Canadian facility in December of 2001. The Romulus facility reported $46.9 million in net sales for the first half of 2003 compared to $6.2 million for the first half of 2002. GROSS MARGIN: Gross margin was $38.3 million or 17.6% of net sales for first half 2003 versus $24.4 million or 13.1% of net sales for first half 2002. The gross margin improvement is due to sales generated at the Romulus facility offsetting fixed costs at the facility in 2003 but not in 2002. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for first half 2003 were $19.5 million or 9.0% of net sales, compared to $17.1 million or 9.2% of net sales for first half 2002. Expense has increased in dollars due to the reinstatement of certain employee benefits as the Company has returned to profitability. INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense was $7.5 million for first half 2003 compared to $8.0 million for first half 2002. The decrease reflects the effects of scheduled repayments on existing senior debt, a decrease in variable interest rates and lower average borrowings outstanding on the Company's line of credit. 18 LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: The six month period ended March 30, 2003 includes $767 thousand for expense related to the disposal of certain property, plant and equipment. This includes approximately $600 thousand of special purpose equipment written off due to the elimination of certain parts by a customer and approximately $175 thousand of unutilized general purpose equipment written off. INCOME TAXES: The effective tax rate for the first half of 2003 was 41.5% compared to 41.6% for the first half of 2002. The interim effective rates are estimated based upon fiscal year operating forecasts. The effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to certain nondeductible expenses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to meet required debt obligations, and to fund capital expenditures for facility maintenance and expansion. The Company believes its future cash flow from operations, combined with its revolving credit availability will be sufficient to meet its planned debt service, capital requirements, and internal growth opportunities. As of March 30, 2003, the Company had $132.0 million of long-term debt outstanding, $11.3 million of revolving loans and current maturities of long-term debt outstanding, and $37.9 million of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility. Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2003 was $30.9 million compared to $15.5 million in the first half of 2002. The increase is due to improved operations at Romulus due to the launch of new product in March and August of 2002. Capital expenditures for first half 2003 were $4.1 million compared to $3.5 million for first half 2002. The Company believes its capital expenditures will be approximately $12 million in fiscal year 2003. The majority of the Company's fiscal year 2003 capital expenditures will be used to refresh equipment and facilitate new programs launching in fiscal year 2003. Long-term debt has decreased due to scheduled principal repayments of senior term debt, including an excess cash flow payment. This payment is due January 1st of every year if excess cash flow exists as defined by the senior term loan agreement. As a result of excess cash flow generated in fiscal year 2002, the Company made an additional senior term loan payment of $2.8 million in January 2003. The following information summarizes the Company's significant contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments at March 30, 2003:

The Company's liquidity is affected by both the cyclical nature of its business and levels of net sales to its major customers. The Company's ability to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements and debt obligations will depend on its future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond its control. The Company believes that its existing borrowing ability and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements in the foreseeable future. 19 Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There have been no material changes to the Company's exposure to market risk since September 29, 2002. Item 4: DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in causing the material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, to the extent applicable, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
