The words "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend", "may", "would", "could", "will", "likely", "plan", "forecast" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could materially alter results in the future from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Intier. These risks and uncertainties include those described under "Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors". Persons reading the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 ("MD&A") attached as Exhibit 14.3 to this Report, as well as other parts of the Report, are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially.

|A. | Selected Financial Data

Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

The Company's Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003, includes the consolidated financial statements (the "2003 Consolidated Financial Statements") and MD&A in each case for the period then ended. Such 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A are incorporated by reference in this Report. In addition, the Company's audited consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in Magna's net investment and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999, as included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three year period ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Consolidated Financial Statements"), are incorporated by reference in this Report. The Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as at December 31, 2001 gives effect to the corporate reorganization of Intier which was completed in August 2001 in which we acquired from Magna certain operating divisions, subsidiaries, jointly controlled entitles and investments directly or indirectly under the control of Magna in exchange for the issuance by us of 42,751,938 Class B Shares and 2,250,000 Convertible Series Preferred Shares to Magna. Our consolidated financial statements prior to August 1, 2001 present the historic combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the assets and liabilities reorganized under the Company on a carve out basis from Magna. To give effect to the continuity of Magna's interest in the assets and liabilities of the Company, all the assets and liabilities have been recorded in the 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements at Magna's book values except for assets under capital leases related to the distribution of land and buildings by us to a related party, MI Developments Inc. during the year ended December 31, 1998. The comparative information presented reflects financial statements, which present the consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in retained earnings and Magna's net investment and cash flows of the Company as if it had operated as a stand-alone entity subject to Magna's control. We have attached our 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements, 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A to this Report as Exhibits 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3, respectively.

|(2) | Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted new accounting Handbook Section 3062 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (CICA 3062) issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants in August 2001. CICA 3062 requires us to review goodwill for impairment on an annual basis based upon new measurement criteria. This review indicated no impairment of goodwill in 2003. As a result of this review in 2002, we reduced the carrying value of goodwill by $3.5 million in our Interiors Europe reporting segment. In 2002, we also assessed the recoverability of long-lived assets in the reporting segment and determined it appropriate to reduce the carrying value by $20.1 million. In addition, net tax assets of $1.5 million associated with these Interiors Europe operations were charged against our earnings for 2002.
|(3) | As a result of the reorganization of the Company completed in August 2001, as described in the notes to the 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements and under "Basis of Presentation of Financial Information" above, basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 only include net income for the five-month period subsequent to July 31, 2001. Historical basic and diluted earnings per share for prior periods have not been presented since they are not comparable or meaningful.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|(4) | Basic and diluted pro forma earnings per Class A Subordinate Voting or Class B Share are based on the public offering of 5,476,191 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares completed in August 2001, and on the assumption that 42,751,938 Class B Shares and 2,250,000 Convertible Series Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding for the entire periods presented. For a description of the pro forma adjustments made to arrive at pro forma earnings per share, please see Note 4 to the 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
|(5) | Effective January 1, 2003 the liability amount for the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Shares ($108.6 million) was recognized as a current liability. The liability amount for the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares ($106.1 million) remains as a long-term liability. For a detailed description, see Note 13 to the 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|(6) | Magna's net investment includes both debt and equity investments, comprising our accumulated earnings, contributions by Magna less distributions by Magna, income taxes payable related to our unincorporated divisions and the currency translation adjustment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|(7) | Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, no portion of the Convertible Series Preferred Shares (all of which are owned by Magna) would be included in Total shareholders' equity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|(8) | Effective January 1, 2003 pursuant to the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants amended Handbook Section 3870 "Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments" we adopted the fair value method for recognizing compensation expense for fixed price stock options. This resulted in an expense of $0.6 million in 2003.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Exchange Rates

As previously indicated, Intier publishes its financial statements in U.S. dollars rather than Canadian dollars. The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years and periods indicated, certain information concerning the Canadian dollar exchange rate for U.S. dollars based on the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in U.S. dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Noon Buying Rate"). At May 14, 2004, the Canadian dollar exchange rate for U.S. dollars was Cdn.$1.3928 per U.S.$1.00.

You should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information contained in this Report.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

An economic downturn could reduce or eliminate our profitability

Our operations are directly impacted by the levels of global automotive production. The global automotive industry, which accounted for substantially all our consolidated sales in 2003, is cyclical and is sensitive to changes in economic conditions such as interest rates, consumer demand and fuel costs. The rate of global economic growth, particularly in our principal North American and Western European markets slowed in 2001 and in subsequent years, partially due to the events of September 11, 2001 and the ensuing war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq, the impact of a series of corporate accounting scandals in North America and Europe and a number of other geopolitical and economic factors. Although lower interest rates and significant incentives offered by automobile manufacturers have stabilized consumer demand in North America in recent years, the threat of terrorism and war, the uncertainty in the economic outlook, higher fuel costs and the possibility of higher interest rates have negatively affected consumer confidence and a significant amount of uncertainty exists with respect to automotive demand in our principal markets. For fiscal 2004, North American light vehicle production volumes are expected to increase marginally to approximately 16.0 million units. Western Europe production volumes are expected to remain unchanged at approximately 16.4 million units. A decline in consumer demand for vehicles as a result of a loss of confidence in the economy, fears of war, political instability or terrorist attacks, interest rate increases, a reduction in vehicle incentive programs or any other political, economic or other factors, could prompt automobile manufacturers to reduce production volumes. Any significant and prolonged decline in production volumes in either our North American or European principal markets will significantly lower, and could eliminate, our profits.

We face increasing price reduction pressures from our customers that could reduce our profit margins

We have in the past entered into, and may continue to enter into, long-term supply arrangements with automobile manufacturers which provide for, among other things, price concessions over the supply term. In addition, there has been significant and continuing pressure from our customers to reduce our prices where there are no such long-term supply arrangements in order for us to maintain such business or be awarded new business. To date, these price concessions have been largely offset by cost reductions arising principally from product and process improvements and price reductions from our suppliers. However, the competitive automotive industry environment in both North America and Europe has caused these pricing pressures to intensify. A number of our largest customers have recently demanded additional price reductions beyond existing contractual commitments which could have an adverse impact on our future profit margins. In addition, we expect that our customers will increase the use of various initiatives such as third party market tests on a global basis, withholding future business opportunities, statistical and other cost models, Internet-based auctions and other methods, in order to further increase the pressure on us to reduce our prices. The full effect of these customer initiatives on the prices of products and services we sell to automobile manufacturers and on the costs of products and services we obtain from our suppliers is uncertain. We may not continue to be successful in offsetting price reductions agreed to from time to time with automobile manufacturers. To the extent that these price reductions are not offset through cost reductions, our future profit margins will be adversely affected.

Our customers increasingly require us to absorb more fixed costs in our unit pricing, which could reduce our profitability

We are under increasing pressure to absorb more costs related to product design, engineering and tooling as well as other items previously paid for directly by automobile manufacturers. In particular, some automobile manufacturers have requested that we pay for design, engineering and tooling costs that are incurred up to the start of production and recover these costs through increasing the unit price of the particular products. Contract volumes for customer programs not yet in production are based on our customers' estimates of their own future production levels by vehicle body type. However, actual production volumes may vary significantly from our customers' estimates due to a reduction in consumer demand or new product launch delays, often without any compensation to us by our customer. We do not typically rely solely on customer estimates, but re-evaluate their estimates based on our own assessment of future production levels by vehicle body type. For programs currently under production, we are typically not in a position to request price changes when volumes differ significantly from production estimates used during the quotation stage. If estimated production volumes are not achieved, the design and engineering and tooling costs incurred by us may not be fully recovered. Similarly, future pricing pressures from our customers could also reduce the amount of amortized costs otherwise recoverable in the unit price of our products. Although these factors have not been material to date, either of these factors could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

We are under increasing pressure to move or establish operations in lower cost jurisdictions.

In order to retain our global competitiveness, we are under increasing pressure to move operations or establish new operations in lower cost jurisdictions as our customers continue to implement procurement strategies intended to increase their sourcing activities in such jurisdictions including China, Eastern Europe, India, Turkey and Mexico. The impact of these initiatives to us could include higher costs associated with the impairment of redundant assets, labour, pension, employee benefits and severance costs in certain higher cost jurisdictions in which we currently carry on business. During the transition period in which certain of our products are transferred to lower cost jurisdictions, our profitability may also be adversely impacted by quality or delivery issues which result in premium costs as well as relocation and start-up costs, all of which would adversely impact our short-term profitability. In the long term, we could also be exposed to certain other risks associated with doing business abroad, including: foreign exchange and currency controls, liquidity risks, local economic conditions, political instability, withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries, investment restrictions or requirements, expropriation and nationalization, export and import restrictions, and increases in working capital requirements related to longer supply chains. The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on us varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but may have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability in the future.

We are increasingly requested to assume product warranty, recall and product liability costs, which could have a negative effect on our operations and financial condition

Automobile manufacturers are increasingly requesting that each of their suppliers bear the costs of the repair and replacement of defective products which are either covered under automobile manufacturer's warranty or are the subject of a recall or service bulletin by the customer. If our products are, or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall, particularly if the actual or alleged defect relates to vehicle safety or compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, we are party to warranty sharing agreements with certain of our customers which require payments to be made by us to the customer if warranty costs for our products exceed certain negotiated targets. A supplier's warranty and recall exposure towards additional warranty and product recall costs increases as its overall design, manufacturing, validation and integration responsibility increases. The obligation to repair or replace such parts and to fund increasing warranty and recall costs could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. See Item 4. "Information on the Company - Our Business - Legal Proceedings and Environmental Matters".

We are also subject to the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the failure of our products results in bodily injury and/or property damage. We may experience material product liability losses in the future and may incur increasingly significant costs to defend such claims. We currently have product liability coverage under Magna's insurance policies, subject to certain limits. This coverage will continue until August 2004, subject to renewal on an annual basis. In addition, some of our European subsidiaries maintain product recall insurance, which is required by law in certain jurisdictions. We cannot guarantee that our insurance coverage will be adequate for any liabilities we may incur. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that our coverage will continue to be available on terms acceptable to us and even if such coverage is available, insurance premiums are likely to increase significantly. A successful claim or series of claims brought against us in excess of our available insurance coverage may have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

We are dependent on outsourcing by North American and European automobile manufacturers

We are dependent on outsourcing by our North American and European automobile manufacturer customers. The extent of this outsourcing is dependent on a number of factors, including:

| | · | the cost, quality and timeliness of external production relative to in-house production by automobile manufacturers;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | relative technological capability;
| | - | ----------------------------------



| | · | the degree of unutilized capacity at automobile manufacturers' facilities;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | collective bargaining agreements between labour unions and automobile manufacturers; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | relations between labour unions and automobile manufacturers.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------

Any significant decrease in outsourcing by automobile manufacturers would likely have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Technological and regulatory changes may adversely affect us

Changes in competitive technologies or regulatory or industry requirements may render some of our products obsolete. Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and regulatory or industry requirements and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products successfully on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive. We may not be able to anticipate or achieve the technological advances necessary for, or to comply with regulatory or industry requirements in a manner which will allow, us to remain competitive and prevent our products from becoming obsolete. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new product introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, product de-contenting by our customers in their vehicles, delays in product development, potential third party patent infringement or trade secret claims and failure of products to operate properly. Any of these changes could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Adverse developments affecting one or more of our major suppliers could materially harm our operating results

We obtain components and other products and services from numerous Tier Two automotive suppliers and other vendors throughout the world. As customer pricing pressures continue to intensify, it is likely that we will enter into significant commercial negotiations and disputes with our suppliers as we attempt to pass on price reductions to the supply base. In certain instances, it would be difficult and expensive for us to change suppliers of products and services critical to our business. Some of our suppliers are also financially distressed, may become financially distressed or have previously agreed upon fixed piece price levels and other terms and conditions in long-term supply contracts and therefore it may not be possible for us to pass on price reductions, increased fixed costs such as tooling and engineering costs, or warranty, recall and product liability costs imposed on us by our customers. In addition, the continued financial distress or the insolvency or bankruptcy of a major component sub-supplier could disrupt the supply of components to us by such suppliers, potentially resulting in a temporary disruption in the supply of systems by us to our customers. Any significant disruption in our supplier relationships, including certain relationships with sole-source suppliers, could materially harm our operating and financial results, particularly if such disruption results in an interruption in supply by us to our customers.

Where we act as a module supplier, integrator or system assembler, we are typically responsible for ensuring the quality of the components supplied to us by automotive components sub-suppliers. In some cases, these sub-suppliers are selected by our automobile manufacturer customers. We take steps to ensure that sub-suppliers remain liable for any product warranty claims, product liability claims or other costs arising from product recalls relating to the components supplied by them. However, we may be liable to our customers if these sub-suppliers become insolvent or are otherwise unable to assume full responsibility for the product warranty claim, product liability claim or product recall cost, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Increased crude oil and energy prices could reduce global demand for automobiles and increase our costs, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability

Material increases in the price of crude oil have, historically, been a contributing factor to the overall reduction in the global demand for automobiles. A significant increase in the price of crude oil could further reduce global demand for automobiles and shift customer demand away from larger cars and light trucks (including sport utility vehicles) in which we have relatively higher content, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Oil-based products are also critical elements in various components utilized by us and our suppliers, including resins, colorants and polymers. Material increases in the price of crude oil, natural gas or in energy would likely increase the costs of manufacturing or supplying some of our products. To the extent that we are not able to pass these increased costs along to our automobile manufacturer customers, such price increases could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Shortages of raw materials or increased raw materials prices could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition or our profitability

We generally purchase our raw materials from suppliers located in the jurisdictions in which we have manufacturing operations. We generally do not carry inventories of raw materials in excess of those required to meet production and shipping schedules. To date, we have not experienced any significant difficulty in obtaining supplies of raw materials. However, the inability to obtain raw materials in the quantities in our operations could disrupt the supply of our products to our customers and have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Recently we have experienced significant increases in the cost of steel and steel products. The price increases are primarily the result of increasingly scarce steel-making ingredients, such as scrap steel, iron ore and coke coal, and a significant increase in demand for steel in China. In some cases, surcharges on existing prices are imposed by steel suppliers and sub-suppliers with the threat of withheld deliveries if the surcharges are not accepted. To the extent that steel prices continue to increase and we are unable to pass on the additional costs to our automobile manufacturer customers, such additional costs would have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Decreases in production volumes of specific vehicles, products or customers could have an adverse effect on our profitability

Although we supply parts to most of the leading automobile manufacturers for a wide variety of vehicles produced in North America and Europe, we do not supply parts for all vehicles produced, nor is the number or value of parts evenly distributed among the vehicles for which we do supply parts. In particular, in 2003, approximately 43% of our consolidated production sales were generated by products supplied for inclusion in 10 vehicle body types. Products and tooling supplied for the Chrysler Minivan constituted approximately 14% of our consolidated production sales for that period. There has been an industry trend toward more "brand hopping" among consumers in recent years, with consumers' preferences changing relatively quickly and dramatically in some instances. Shifts in market share among vehicles could have an adverse effect on our sales and on our profit margins. For example, we are affected by the sales mix between passenger cars, SUVs, minivans and other light trucks as our product content and profit margins vary among these types of vehicles. The contracts we have entered into with many of our customers are to supply a customer's requirements for all the vehicles it produces in a particular model, rather than for manufacturing a set quantity of products. Such contracts range from one year to the life of the model, usually several years, and do not require the purchase by the customer of any minimum number of parts.

In addition, DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors accounted for 66% of our consolidated sales in 2003. In recent years, the "Big 3" have experienced declining market shares, particularly in North America. This reduced market share has led to increased cost pressures on Tier One suppliers such as Intier and a reduction in production volumes of certain of our high content vehicles. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in the future in diversifying our business to other Asian-based automobile manufacturers who have been increasing their market share over the past few years.

Finally, the loss, renegotiation of the terms or delay in the implementation of any significant production contract with any of our customers could reduce our profitability. Any changes in the anticipated production volume of our products, particularly those supplied for the Chrysler Minivan, as a result of any of the above factors could reduce our profitability.

Fluctuations in relative currency values could adversely affect our profitability

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our sales and operating costs are realized in Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds and other currencies. Significant long-term fluctuations in relative currency values may adversely affect our profitability. In particular, our profitability may be adversely affected by a significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the euro or other currencies in which we generate revenues.

Recent unionization drives at several of our plants may increase our costs

The National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada, also known as the CAW, has in the past mounted a number of major organizing drives at some of our Canadian plants. In June 2000, the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, also known as the UAW, completed unionization drives in Michigan. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, we entered into collective agreements with the UAW, for our Ontegra Brighton plant, and the CAW for our Integram Windsor, Innovatech and Mississauga Seating Systems, which recognizes our operating principles, including our employee charter of rights. If we are successful in operating these plants with this form of collective agreement, we will examine whether to extend this form of agreement to some of our other plants if our employees at these plants vote in favour of unionization in the future. We also have collective agreements with our Integram St. Louis and Excelsior Springs seating divisions in Missouri. In addition, the employees at our facilities in Lewisburg, Tennessee voted in favour of certifying the UAW as their bargaining agent. We are unable to predict whether we will successfully conclude additional collective bargaining agreements of this nature with these unions or what impact further unionization will have on our costs. In addition, the CAW and the UAW have in the past attempted to pressure some of our automobile manufacturer customers to encourage their suppliers to assume a neutral position with respect to unionization attempts at their plants.

Our operations may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labour relations matters

If our hourly workforce becomes more unionized in the future, we may be subject to work stoppages and may be affected by other labour disputes. To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages or other disputes that have had an adverse effect on our profitability. However, disputes with labour unions may not be resolved in our favour in the future. Furthermore, we may experience significant work stoppages in future years and may incur significant expenses related to work stoppages or other disputes.

We may not be able to compete successfully with some competitors that have substantially greater financial resources and market share than us

The automotive parts supply market is highly competitive. We face competition from a number of sources, including:

| | · | our automobile manufacturer customers (and their related parts manufacturing organizations);
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | existing and new suppliers to these manufacturers; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------



| | · | manufacturers of product alternatives.
| | - | --------------------------------------

Some of our competitors have substantially greater market share and financial resources than we have and are dominant in the markets in which we operate. Their market share and dominance may give them advantages over us in competition for new or existing business from our automobile manufacturer customers as well as negotiating cost reductions with the supply base. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors.

We may be unable to implement our business strategy of improving our operating performance

We have implemented some, and intend to implement several other important strategic initiatives designed to improve our operating performance. We may not be able to sustain improvements made to date or to implement successfully or realize the expected benefits of any of these initiatives. Even if we are successful in implementing these initiatives, additional problems such as launch issues may develop at certain of our other operations which could further impact our future profit margins. Our failure to sustain improvements or to implement initiatives relating to new operational issues could have an adverse effect on our business, particularly since we rely on these initiatives to offset pricing pressures from our customers. These initiatives are dependent in many cases upon our ability to require participation by our suppliers and other third parties in our price reduction initiatives. To the extent that we are unable to pass on price reductions from our customers to our suppliers, our profit margins may be adversely affected.

Cancellation of vehicle programs and delays in launching new vehicle programs by our customers could have an adverse effect on our profitability

We incur engineering, design, tooling and other capital costs in advance of commencing production of parts to be supplied for our automobile manufacturers customers' new vehicle programs. For example, we typically incur significant design, engineering and tooling costs associated with larger modules and systems such as complete seating systems and door and cockpit modules in respect of new programs for which we have been awarded the business. Production volumes for our products to be supplied for these new programs are based on our customers' estimates of their future production levels, and our supply contracts typically are only for the supply of customers' actual requirements, not for a minimum or specified quantity of products. Our customers' actual production levels for new vehicle programs may vary significantly from their estimates, or such programs may be cancelled, or their launch may be delayed, or our customer may decide to source the manufacturing and assembly of the product to one of our competitors after we have expended a significant amount of up-front engineering costs. To the extent that our estimated production volumes are not attained, due to cancellations of vehicle programs or delays in launching new vehicle programs, our production economies expected at the time of quotation may not be realized. Consequently, our capital or engineering costs incurred in connection with such programs may not be fully recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Delays in the construction of new facilities required for program launches could reduce our profitability

From time to time, we expand our production capacity through the construction of new manufacturing facilities and the expansion of existing facilities. New facilities or expansions of existing facilities are often required to accommodate the award of new business from our customers or to facilitate the introduction of new manufacturing processes or technologies. However, the construction of new facilities and the expansion of existing facilities involves a number of areas of operational and financial risks. For example, construction delays associated with poor weather, labour disruptions, cost overruns, shortages of construction materials and delays associated with the installation, testing and start-up of new production equipment or manufacturing processes could reduce our profitability. Since many new facilities are constructed and existing facilities are expanded to accommodate the launch of new customer production programs, the added complexity associated with new program launches can increase this risk. Any delays by us in product launches which impair our customer's ability to launch a new vehicle program could negatively impact our customer relationships as well as expose us to reimbursement claims by our customers for costs arising out of such delays, and could adversely affect our operations and future profitability.

We may be adversely affected by the environmental and safety regulations to which we are subject

We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations relating to air emissions, wastewater discharge, waste management and storage of hazardous substances. Our existing leases generally provide that we as tenant, must comply with applicable environmental laws. We are also responsible for removing all hazardous and toxic substances as and when required by applicable laws and in any event prior to the termination of our occupation of the leased properties, which may apply whether or not the contamination occurred prior to our use of the leased premises, unless it was not caused or exacerbated by our use.

We are also subject to environmental laws requiring investigation and clean-up of environmental contamination and are in various stages of investigation and clean-up at our manufacturing facilities where contamination has been alleged. Estimating environmental clean-up liabilities is complex and heavily dependent on the nature and extent of historical information and physical data relating to the contaminated site, the complexity of the contamination, the uncertainty of which remedy to apply and the outcome of discussions with regulatory authorities relating to the contamination. In addition, these environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent and expensive over time. Therefore, we may not have been, and in the future may not be, in complete compliance with all such laws and regulations, and we may incur material costs or liabilities as a result of such laws and regulations significantly in excess of amounts we have reserved.

Risks Relating to Our Relationship with Magna

Our relationship with Magna is not at "arm's length" and Magna will continue to control us

Our relationship with Magna is not at "arm's length" and none of our agreements with Magna or its affiliates, including the affiliation agreements, have been negotiated at arm's length. Through its ownership of all of our Class B Shares, such shares representing over 99% of the total votes attached to our outstanding share capital, Magna will continue to be able to elect all of our directors and will continue to control us. Therefore, Magna will continue to be able to cause us to effect corporate transactions without the consent of our minority shareholders and to control the amount and timing of dividends, subject in each case to our corporate constitution, the fiduciary duty of our directors to act in the best interests of our shareholders and other applicable laws governing related party transactions. In addition, Magna will continue to be able to cause or prevent a change in our control. In some cases, the interests of Magna may not be the same as those of Intier or our other shareholders, and conflicts of interest may arise. See Item 4. "Information on the Company - Our Business - Legal Proceedings and Environmental Matters". Under the applicable laws of the Province of Ontario, Magna, as one of our shareholders, does not have a fiduciary duty to us or any of our other shareholders.

Magna may have a conflict of interest with our other shareholders due to the method of calculating the affiliation fees that we pay to Magna

Magna receives affiliation fees from us based on our annual sales revenue under the affiliation agreements between us and Magna. The aggregate affiliation fee in respect of fiscal 2003 was $60.8 million. Magna may prefer to see an increase in our sales even at the expense of our operating profits. In addition, while Magna has indicated that it has no current intention to do so, the affiliation agreements may be amended or terminated at any time by Magna acting individually and through its control of us, subject to approval by a majority of the independent directors of our Board of Directors. Our corporate constitution provides, however, that the affiliation agreements with Magna may not be amended to increase the affiliation fees without the prior approval of a majority of the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (other than Magna or any person who, by agreement, is acting jointly with Magna or over which Magna or any such person exercises direct or indirect control or direction) and our Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class.

We obtain services from Magna or other related parties, which we may not be able to obtain on comparable terms from third parties

We have entered into several agreements with Magna, including an agreement for the provision to us of various services and insurance coverage and for the lease to us through MI Developments Inc., a related party ultimately controlled by the Stronach Trust, of a significant portion of the land and buildings we use. Although we believe that the existing leases are on arm's length commercial terms, there can be no assurance that independent parties negotiating at arm's length would have arrived at the same terms. Since we are under common control with MI Developments, there is a risk that future decisions or actions taken regarding these leases (including renewals, amendments, disputes or enforcement proceedings) and any new leases may not be the same as if we had proceeded with a thirty party on a completely arm's length basis. Magna also provides us various types of insurance coverage under its insurance policies with insurance companies. We expect to enter into additional agreements with Magna in the future, the terms of any such material agreements with Magna will be determined through negotiations at such time and subject to approval by a majority of the independent directors of our Board of Directors. In addition, we may be dependent on Magna to provide other services in the future. To the extent the services we receive from Magna become unavailable for any reason, we may not be able to obtain similar services on comparable terms from other parties. See Item 7. "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions".

Certain of our historical financial statements prior to August 1, 2001 have been "carved out" from the consolidated financial statements of Magna and may not reflect our results of operations and financial position on a stand-alone basis

Our historical financial statements prior to August 1, 2001 presented in this Report have been "carved out" from the consolidated financial statements of Magna and may not be indicative of our results of operations and financial position had we actually operated on a stand-alone basis during the periods presented. In particular, our costs and expenses include allocations that could have caused our stand-alone results to differ.

Risks Relating to our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

The trading market for our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is not liquid, resulting in volatility of trading prices

The size of our public float is small compared to other public companies, including some of our competitors. In addition, employees who purchased our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may be expected to trade those shares less actively than other investors, further reducing the liquidity of the trading market for our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Donald Walker, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman owned 700,000 of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as at March 31, 2004, which was 10.75% of the total number of such shares outstanding at that time. Finally, effective fiscal 2002, we implemented deferred profit sharing plans in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Austria which will invest primarily in our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Our deferred profit sharing plans in Canada and the U.S. as at March 31, 2004 owned 478,553 and 649,827, respectively, of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, which is 7.35% and 9.98%, respectively, of the total number of such shares outstanding at that time. Accordingly, there is a significant possibility that the market for our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will continue to be thin and illiquid, which could result in increased volatility in the trading prices for our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Sales of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares by Magna could depress our share price

As of March 31, 2004 we had outstanding 6,511,939 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, 42,751,938 Class B Shares (all of which are held by Magna and are convertible into an equal number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares), 1,085,500 Preferred Shares, Series 1 and 1,125,000 Preferred Shares, Series 2, all of which are held by Magna and are convertible into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, at a conversion price of $15.09 per Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

Sales of a substantial number of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares by Magna after conversion, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress prevailing market prices of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Issuance of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion of our Convertible Series Preferred Shares could be dilutive

The outstanding Convertible Series Preferred Shares constituted approximately 69.5%, on a fully diluted basis, of our outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at December 31, 2003. Conversion of the Convertible Series Preferred Shares will have a dilutive effect on the holders of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to the extent the market price of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at the time of conversion exceeds the conversion price of the Convertible Series Preferred Shares.

|B. | Business Overview
|-- | -----------------

We are a global full service supplier of automotive interior and closure components, systems and modules. We directly supply most of the major automobile manufacturers in the world and at December 31, 2003 employed approximately 24,000 people at 71 manufacturing facilities, 17 product development, engineering and testing centres and 17 sales/purchasing offices in North America, Europe, Brazil and Asia Pacific. Our top five customers, based on our consolidated 2003 sales, are DaimlerChrysler (27%), Ford (23%), General Motors (16%), BMW (9%) and Volkswagen (6%).



Over the last nine years, we have grown rapidly through a focused strategy of internal growth and acquisitions. Our success in securing profitable interior and closure systems business, primarily in North America, has generated internal growth. We have also completed eight acquisitions in Europe and one in North America that have enhanced our system supply capabilities, expanded our customer base and broadened our geographic scope.

As a result of our strategy, our revenues increased from $2.83 billion in 1999 to $4.65 billion in 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of 13.2%. During this period, our operating income increased from $74.6 million to $136.4 million, representing a compound annual growth rate of 16.3%.

Our principal products include:

| | · | Interior systems, such as seating systems, cockpit systems, sidewall systems, cargo management systems, overhead, floor and acoustic systems, instrument panels and related components; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | · | Closure systems, including latching systems, window regulators, electro-mechanical systems, wiper systems, power sliding doors and liftgates, mid-door and door modules.                   

Industry Trends Affecting Our Business

We anticipate growth in the global market for our products as a result of industry-wide trends caused by competitive pressures on automobile manufacturers, and in turn on their suppliers, to improve product quality, lower costs and shorten the product development cycle. These trends include:

Increased sourcing by automobile manufacturers to outside suppliers of more complex interior systems and closure systems, including cockpit systems and door and power liftgate modules

Automobile manufacturers are increasingly outsourcing their requirements for larger modules and complete systems of a vehicle interior, such as cockpit systems and door modules. This trend toward modularization is the result of several factors, including:

| | · | the significant cost savings achieved as a result of taking advantage of an outside supplier's lower variable costs, simplifying the vehicle assembly process and reducing the manufacturer's overall fixed cost investment; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | · | the increased sophistication and capability of interiors suppliers in program management and logistics and product styling, design, assembly and testing.                                                                       

There has also been a general increase in the average value of outsourced modules as increasingly more complex modules and systems are outsourced. The extent of outsourcing of interior modules and systems varies by product line. For example, seating components and assemblies led the current outsourcing trend as seat frames and other seating components (which serve as the basis of overall seating design by virtue of their structural and safety importance) were outsourced much earlier than other interior components. This outsourcing trend gradually evolved into complete seating systems as suppliers improved their technical competency and engineering expertise in this product line. Automobile manufacturers have historically been slower in outsourcing cockpit modules because of their importance in the overall styling and functionality of the vehicle as well as the significant complexity of the modules themselves. Accordingly we believe that the rate of future industry growth in cockpit and door modules will be higher than in the case of outsourced seating systems.

Increased importance of the automotive interior as a means of product differentiation to consumers

A vehicle's interior is a significant factor in the consumer's purchasing decisions for a number of reasons, including:

| | · | the amount of time spent by drivers and passengers inside the vehicle; and     
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | · | the ability of distinctively styled interiors to improve consumer satisfaction.

As a result of the increasingly competitive market, an automobile manufacturer's ability to offer new or different products to its customers as quickly as possible is an important method of maintaining or increasing its market share. There are three principal alternatives available to automobile manufacturers to attempt to differentiate their products. They can:

| | · | develop completely new vehicle platforms;                                                                                               
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | · | change interior or exterior appearance attributes of existing vehicles to achieve vehicle "facelifts"; or                               
| | · | introduce lower volume derivative or niche vehicles based on existing vehicle platforms, but with distinct styling packages and options.

The first alternative is very costly and time consuming. The latter two alternatives provide opportunities to interiors suppliers such as us to generate additional revenues as automobile manufacturers develop new interior styling packages for existing vehicles in an effort to differentiate their products. In addition, this trend has provided opportunities for interiors suppliers to participate in the design and engineering, manufacture and assembly of larger portions of the interior of these vehicles.

Consolidation of the interiors segment of the automotive industry has created demand among automobile manufacturers for multiple strong full service global suppliers

The increasing demands on tier one suppliers regarding price competitiveness, product quality and technical innovation has led to consolidation among automotive suppliers, particularly in some interiors product lines, such as seating systems where some suppliers have a market share several times larger than ours. However, most automobile manufacturers have also implemented a policy of maintaining two to four strong alternative suppliers to ensure competitive pricing, quality manufacturing and innovative technological solutions for the major interior and closure modules and systems of their vehicles. For this reason, we believe that automobile manufacturers may award significant additional business in some interiors product lines to suppliers such as us whose current market share is less significant than some of our competitors, but who still have the proven capability of delivering high quality products at competitive prices.

Our Strategy

We intend to build on our position as a global supplier of automotive interior and closure systems and related components, assemblies and modules. We believe that we have the opportunity to expand our business significantly by capitalizing on industry trends and otherwise aggressively pursuing our strategy. Elements of our strategy to achieve disciplined and profitable growth include continuing to:

Deliver full service interior and closure systems capabilities to our customers

Outsourcing creates an opportunity for us to increase content per vehicle by coordinating the design, manufacture, integration and assembly of larger modular assemblies such as complete seats, cockpits, and overhead and door modules. For example, we supply (or will supply) cockpit modules and/or instrument panels on vehicles such as the BMW MINI and 6 Series, the Audi A3 and Audi A8, the Jaguar S-Type and XJ Series, the Nissan Micra, the Cadillac CTS, SRX and STS vehicles and various Land Rover sport utility vehicles as well as the Chevrolet Equinox and the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon. We also supply hardware door modules for the Ford Fiesta/Ka in Europe and the Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator and Nissan Maxima in North America and we have also developed a door trim module for a European-based automobile manufacturer which integrates all the door latching systems onto the inside of the door panel. We believe that combining our worldwide closures and interior capabilities will further assist us in designing, engineering, manufacturing and supplying modular products, such as complete door and cockpit modules, by enabling us to more closely coordinate our product styling, design and engineering and marketing efforts and to achieve greater efficiencies in our logistics and supply chain management.

Emphasize technological innovation and craftsmanship

We believe that our operating principles and commitment to product and technological innovation and craftsmanship have assisted us in generating new business opportunities with our customers. Our corporate constitution requires us to allocate a minimum of 7% of our pre-tax profits to research and development annually. Our recent product and technology innovations include:

| | · | an industry-first power liftgate (developed in conjunction with DaimlerChrysler) for the minivan market;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | the patented Fold and Tumbleä family of seating mechanisms which allow for additional storage space as well as easier passenger entry by automatically moving the seat to the full rear track position as the seat tumbles to the stowed position;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | the Tailgate Swing Upä seat that swings up into the ceiling of the vehicle for self-storage, thereby eliminating floor-mounted seat risers, resulting in weight reduction and increased under-seat storage when the seat is in the down position;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | a reversible seat that reverses position to permit face-to-face contact with rear row passengers;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | a modular seat system with an elastomeric support structure which is lighter in weight and provides increased interior space within the vehicle as well as certain styling advantages;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | a patented technology known as PUR-fect Skinä, which produces polyurethane spray-skin coverings for instrument panels and other interior trim with two-tone capability and a more durable surface that other competitive products;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | a pedestrian protection system that deploys to take precautionary measures for pedestrian safety at the point of impact;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | patented headliner substrates known as Structurliteä, which incorporates safety design features directly into the headliner composite, thereby saving substantial cost, weight and packaging space;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | power sliding doors for the minivan market which allow power opening and closing as well as manual operation with no more effort than a regular sliding door;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | an obstacle detection system consisting of sensors installed along the door opening, which retract the door or window if it detects any object in the closure path;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | an electronic modular latching system with programmable logic for double lock, child lock and central lock features as well as independent control of door handles;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | an integrated door trim module which eliminates the water shield and provides weight reduction opportunities at a lower cost.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To support our product development and innovation strategy, we operate 17 product development, engineering and testing centres and employ approximately 2,000 technicians, engineers and stylists to assist us in coordinating our product development activities. Our emphasis on craftsmanship throughout the product development process attempts to ensure that the fit and finish, quality, operability, appearance, ergonomics and overall coordination of the modules and systems we supply is at the highest level of consumer satisfaction.

We recognize that supplying high quality products on schedule is essential to remaining competitive. On an ongoing basis, automobile manufacturers assess their suppliers on a broad scope of business attributes, of which product quality is an important consideration. These assessments are relevant to automobile manufacturers in awarding new contracts and in respect of their supplier award programs. We are focused on reducing variations in quality through various techniques, including value analysis/value engineering, reliability studies, statistical process control and failure analysis. Additionally, our products are designed and developed on computer-aided design and manufacturing systems and submitted to complete finite element analysis and comprehensive in-house testing.

Improve operating efficiencies

Certain of our operations experience operating losses as a result of a number of factors, including low productivity, high material usage and excess capacity. Management is highly focused on improving the operating and financial performance of each underperforming division and has detailed action plans to resolve the issues at such divisions.  During 2003, we closed three of these underperforming operations. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we sold one of our European Interiors manufacturing facilities and we have shut down another Closure manufacturing facility in Europe. We intend to continue to improve our operating performance and competitiveness at the remaining underperforming facilities and reduce our costs at our other existing operations by refining our product strategy through the potential closure or disposition of certain underperforming or non-core assets, by adopting quality improvement principles such as "Six Sigma", increased capacity utilization, launching new products and programs and by other sourcing, labour and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, we have developed processes such as the Innovation Development Process and the Product Delivery Process that have assisted in ensuring first-to-market performance consistent with our customers' technology and vehicle cycle plans as well as reducing any unanticipated delays or costs in launching our products. We believe that these initiatives will position us to further improve our existing margins, return on capital employed and profitability in the future.

Capitalize on "complete system" and integration opportunities

Automobile manufacturers are consolidating their supply base in some product lines and shifting the design, engineering and manufacturing functions of larger portions of vehicles to outside suppliers. This has led suppliers to perform additional value-added engineering, integration and program management, assembly and sequencing functions. As a result of our emphasis on developing system integration and program management capabilities, we program managed the complete interior (excluding seats and electronics) of the 1998 Lincoln Navigator. We believe that this was the first time that a North American automobile manufacturer outsourced program management services to a North American external supplier. We are also the vehicle systems integrator for the total interior (excluding seats and electronics) of the Cadillac CTS, the Cadillac SRX and the 2005 Cadillac STS and are performing part of this function in conjunction with another automotive supplier in which we have retained a significant equity interest. In addition, we were named as the interiors integrator for the future General Motors in 2002 for the full-size line of sport utility vehicles and in 2003 for the full-size line of pick-up trucks. As part of this award, we anticipate that we will be awarded interiors production contracts including the overhead systems and other interior trim components for these full-size sport utility vehicles and full-size pick-up trucks. We expect that these types of contracts will allow us to increase our content per vehicle significantly as our engineering and purchasing responsibility under these types of contracts becomes more significant in the future. We intend to capitalize on our capabilities and experience to pursue complete interior integration programs in the future.

Promote our policies and principles, including our incentive-based corporate culture

We believe that, as a separate public company, we are in a better position to benefit from Magna's corporate policies and principles, including decentralization, which increases our flexibility, customer responsiveness and productivity. In addition, as a public company, we are better able to develop profit-based compensation programs that more directly align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders, which will assist us in attracting, retaining and motivating skilled and entrepreneurial management and employees. For example, we established effective fiscal 2002, an employee equity and profit participation program for our employees under which we will make contributions based on the amount of our employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing rather than Magna's and which will invest exclusively in our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares rather than Magna's. We believe that programs such as this one will more closely align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders.

Our Internal Growth and Acquisition History

Over the past nine years, we have grown through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. Our growth in North America has been primarily through greenfield operations established as a result of securing additional contracts from our customers. In October 1996, Magna also completed the acquisition of Douglas & Lomason Company, a U.S.-based manufacturer of seating systems, seat frames, seat mechanisms, other seating components and other automotive components for $134.9 million. This acquisition broadened the scope of our relationship with Ford as a significant portion of the acquired business forms part of our operations.

In Europe, our growth has been principally through acquisitions as we endeavoured to replicate our core North American product offerings and capabilities in Europe. Our eight European acquisitions are set out in the table below:

Our Operations

To better service our customers, we follow a policy of functional and operational decentralization. We believe that this approach increases our speed and responsiveness to our customers. Our operations consist of two business segments, Interiors and Closures, which are generally aligned with the corresponding purchasing and engineering groups of our customers. Effective January 2003, our Closures operations underwent an organizational structure change, effectively changing management's reporting and assessment of operating results for resource allocation decisions and performance assessment to be on a global basis. Our Interiors segment is further segregated geographically between North America and Europe.

Interiors

Our Interiors operations supply complete vehicle interior systems and components, consisting of complete seating systems, seating hardware, cockpit, sidewall and overhead systems and components, and floor carpet, trunk or rear compartment trim and acoustic products. We also manage the design, engineering, development, testing and final assembly of all interior systems and components.

| | · | Our electro-mechanical systems consist of door latch and trunk release actuators, wiper systems and electrical motors for wiper systems and other applications. In addition, we have developed obstacle detection systems which prevent the closure of power windows, power sliding doors and power liftgates if there is an obstacle in the path of the window, door or liftgate. Our innovative infinite door detect check mechanism also provides full control of the door in the open position in order to prevent door contact with other objects.

In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, our Closures Technical Centre provides us with full service testing capabilities for the development and evaluation of automobiles, modules, systems and components. In particular, the Closures Technical Centre contains a vehicle sound chamber for acoustics testing. This vehicle sound chamber enables noise characteristic and sound quality testing to be conducted on a wide range of closure systems, including power sliding doors, power window regulators and door latches, and it assists us in engineering components and systems with reduced noise, vibration and harshness.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products to automobile manufacturers located in Canada and Western Europe through sales offices in southern Ontario, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Japan, Italy, France, Austria, China and Korea. Sales to North American automobile manufacturers located in the United States and Mexico, including foreign automobile manufacturers with manufacturing operations in the United States, are coordinated through independent sales representatives in Detroit. The various internal operating divisions and subsidiaries of the automobile manufacturers normally initiate many of their own purchasing decisions and, accordingly, each automobile manufacturer constitutes, in effect, several different customers. Our sales force works closely with our operating divisions in their sales efforts.

Technology

Research and Development

Our past development activities have resulted in improved products, tooling and operating processes as well as various proprietary technologies. Examples include an industry first power liftgate (developed with DaimlerChrysler), the patented Fold and Tumbleä family of seating mechanisms, integrated child restraint seating (developed with DaimlerChrysler), the Turbo Castä method of making a three dimensional interior skin covering for various interior products and patented headliner substrates which incorporate safety design features directly with the headliner composite. Our corporate constitution promotes our commitment to technological development by requiring us to allocate a minimum of 7% of our pre-tax profits to research and development annually.

Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks and copyrights are owned or licensed by us and are utilized by us in the course of our business. Some trademarks we use (including the trademarks "Intier" and "Magna") are licensed by us from Magna pursuant to the terms of our affiliation agreements with Magna. See Item 7. "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions". While all these intellectual property rights are collectively considered important by our management, we do not believe that the loss or termination of any particular right (other than the "Intier" and "Magna" trademarks) would have an adverse effect on our business.

Engineering, Design and Testing

We operate 17 product development, engineering and testing centres in seven countries to assist us in coordinating our product development activities. These centres are actively involved in the complete product development process from the use of surveys and clinics in conjunction with our marketing department to determine consumer preferences, to performing research and development, styling, design and engineering, validating and testing functions, to developing actual products based on customer suggestions. Our design and styling capabilities at these facilities include:

| | · | ALIAS virtual reality;
| | - | ----------------------



| | · | 3 dimensional computer assisted design and verification models;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Photographic services;
| | - | ----------------------



| | · | Class "A" surfacing;
| | - | --------------------



| | · | Clay modelling; and
| | - | -------------------



| | · | Graphic design.
| | - | ---------------

We recognize that we must maintain our ability to provide complete engineering, development and testing capabilities in order to adequately serve our customers. Our employees and sales representatives seek to become involved as early as possible in automobile manufacturers' vehicle development programs, sometimes by placing some of our engineering representatives at our customers' technical development facilities. It has been our experience that early involvement in the development cycle of a new vehicle model often leads to orders for commercial production. We currently maintain an engineering, design and styling staff of approximately 2,000 people. Our engineering staff at both the corporate and division levels work closely with production personnel in providing engineering support as required. Our employees also seek to develop components, modules or systems that either refine products currently produced by us or represent strategically important future product opportunities for us.

We also have two testing facilities in Ontario and Michigan and a 50% joint venture interest in the Advanced Car Technology Systems (ACTS) facility in Germany which has comprehensive systems and full vehicle testing capabilities. Some of the testing services available at these facilities include:

| | · | U.S. federal motor vehicle safety standards compliance;

Program Management

We have developed and use a comprehensive, product delivery process which endeavours to ensure that our products are delivered on time and within budget. This program management system uses a 10-phase process to manage our customers' product programs from initial concept through to production and continuous improvement. The system uses cross-functional teams throughout the sales, engineering and manufacturing process and incorporates all the advanced quality planning and continuous improvement requirements of QS 9000, which is the automotive equivalent of ISO 9000. We believe that the use of our product delivery process has significantly reduced our launch-related problems and will continue to do so.

Competitive Conditions

We face numerous sources of competition globally, including from our automobile manufacturer customers, outside suppliers and numerous other suppliers in which one or more automobile manufacturers may have direct or indirect investments. We believe that there are a number of suppliers that can produce some or all of the components, modules and systems that we currently produce. In addition, some of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us and some of them are dominant in the markets in which we operate. Some of our principal competitors include:

| | · | Interiors: | Lear Corporation, Johnson Controls, Inc., Faurecia SA, Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, Visteon Automotive Systems and Collins & Aikman Corporation
| | - | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Closures: | Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, Kiekert AG, Mitsui-Gecom, Arvin Meritor Automotive Inc., Grupo-Antolin, Robert Bosch GmbH, Valeo S.A., Hi-Lex, Inc., Dura Automotive Systems and Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation
| | - | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Increasingly, the automobile manufacturers' criteria for supplier selection (in which each supplier facility is rated independently) includes not only price, quality and responsiveness, but also global full service capabilities, including design, engineering and project management support. The number of competitors that are solicited by automobile manufacturers to bid on any individual product has been significantly reduced in seating. We expect that further reductions will occur as a result of automobile manufacturers' stated intention to deal with fewer suppliers of non-seating components and award them greater "chunks" of business, subject to retaining satisfactory quality levels and customer price reduction targets. Automobile manufacturers expect their direct suppliers to have broad product design, engineering, manufacturing and assembly capabilities as well as an ability to meet high quality control standards and to ship parts and assemblies internationally on a "just-in-time" basis.

Availability of Raw Materials

Our primary raw materials are natural and man-made fabrics, plastics and resins, steel and wood fibre, all of which are available from many different sources worldwide. However, factors such as allocation, pricing, quality, timeliness of delivery, and transportation and warehousing costs affect our decisions to obtain these raw materials from particular suppliers. Currently, we have long term supply agreements in place with several of our key raw material suppliers which attempt to ensure the continued availability of these raw materials on favourable terms.

Legal Proceedings and Environmental Matters

In November 1997, Magna and two of its subsidiaries were sued by KS Centoco Ltd., an Ontario-based steering wheel manufacturer in which Magna has a 23% equity interest, and by Centoco Holdings Limited, the owner of the remaining 77% equity interest in KS Centoco Ltd. On March 5, 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to make substantial amendments to the original statement of claim, in order to add several new defendants and claim additional remedies. The amended statement of claim now includes our Advanced Car Technology Systems joint venture ("ACTS") as a named defendant to the lawsuit and alleges, among other things:

| | · | breach of fiduciary duty by Magna and two of its subsidiaries, including ACTS;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | breach by Magna of its binding letter of intent with KS Centoco Ltd.; including its covenant not to have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity that carries on the airbag business in North America, other than through MST Automotive Inc., a company to be 77% owned by Magna and 23% owned by Centoco Holdings Limited;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | the plaintiff's exclusive entitlement to certain airbag technologies in North America pursuant to an exclusive licence agreement, together with an accounting of all revenues and profits resulting from the alleged use by Magna, TRW Inc. ("TRW"), ACTS, and other unrelated third party automotive supplier defendants of such technology in North America; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | a conspiracy by Magna, TRW and ACTS to deprive KS Centoco Ltd. of the benefits of such airbag technology in North America and to cause Centoco Holdings Limited to sell to TRW its interest in KS Centoco Ltd. in conjunction with Magna's sale to TRW of its interest in MST Automotive GmbH and TEMIC Bayern-Chemie Airbag GmbH. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, damages of approximately Cdn.$3.5 billion.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magna and ACTS have filed an amended statement of defence and counterclaim and intend to vigorously defend this case. At this time, despite the early stages of this legal proceeding and the difficulty in predicting the final outcome, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims against ACTS will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. In addition, Magna has agreed to indemnify ACTS for any damages, liabilities or expenses incurred in connection with this claim.

Although we believe that we are not currently carrying on airbag business in North America in a manner that would cause Magna to violate its covenant described above, it is possible that Centoco Holdings Limited may disagree, or that our business in the future could be restricted by Magna's covenant, in either case in a manner which may be materially detrimental to us.

On August 16, 2002, the Company was served with a complaint issued in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts by Stoneridge Control Devices, Inc. which was a supplier of adjunct actuators to the Company. After months of unsuccessful pricing negotiations, the Company advised Stoneridge that it would not be extending its long-term agreement which expired on July 31, 2002, and that such adjunct actuators would thereafter be manufactured by the Company. In this action Stoneridge is alleging that the Company:

| | · | breached certain agreements with Stoneridge which obliged the Company to purchase all of its adjunct actuator requirements from Stoneridge for the life of certain customer programs;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | made certain misrepresentations to Stoneridge that it was not developing and producing adjunct actuators itself and that it intended to purchase Stoneridge's adjunct actuator for the life of the programs;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | unlawfully used Stoneridge's trade secrets and proprietary information; and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | violated Massachusetts General Laws c93A, the Massachusetts unfair business practices legislation
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stoneridge's Initial Disclosure dated November 17, 2003, claims that Stoneridge's damages are over $25 million. The Company disputes the allegations contained in the complaint and believes it has substantial defences for these claims, although the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will ultimately be successful.

From time to time, various warranty and recall claims incidental to our business are made against us. On February 28, 2003, the Company was served, in conjunction with Siemens Automotive Corp., a/k/a Siemens VDO Automotive Corp., with a complaint issued in the Macomb County Circuit Court of the State of Michigan by General Motors Corporation ("GM"). The GM complaint alleges that the Company and Siemens are in breach of certain express and implied warranties to GM and as a result GM is seeking reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred as a result of its replacement of tens of thousands of rear door electric motors in respect of its model 2000 full-size sport utility vehicles and trucks, including the Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Silverado and Chevrolet Avalanche. The rear door electric motors (which the Company was directed to use by GM) are manufactured by Siemens and form part of a power rear window regulator supplied by the Company to GM for those vehicles. Although the damages in the complaint are unspecific, GM has previously claimed that the warranty and future recall costs could be up to $42 million. Based on its investigations to date, the Company believes that it has substantial defences for this claim and that any liability it may become subject to, if it is established that the rear door motor is defective, will likely be recoverable from Siemens, although the Company cannot provide any assurance this will be the case.

We are also subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations imposed by governmental authorities relating to air emissions, soil and ground water quality, wastewater discharge, waste management and storage of hazardous substances. We have adopted a Health, Safety and Environmental Policy, pursuant to which we are committed to conducting our operations in a manner that complies with or exceeds all legal requirements regarding health, safety and the environment and to regularly evaluating and monitoring our past and present business activities affecting health, safety and the environment. We operate several manufacturing facilities which use environmentally sensitive processes and hazardous materials. We believe that all of these operations meet, in all material respects, applicable government standards for waste handling and emissions. Notwithstanding this compliance, we have in the past and may in the future experience complaints regarding some of our manufacturing facilities from neighbouring parties. In the past, such complaints have been addressed by manufacturing process adjustments.

We are also subject to environmental laws requiring investigation and clean-up of environmental contamination. From time to time our operations and properties become the subject of inquiries or investigations of environmental regulators. We are in various stages of investigation or clean-up at our current or former manufacturing facilities where contamination has been alleged. These stages include performing periodic soil and groundwater sampling, determining the most appropriate corrective action approach for remediating the contamination and obtaining regulatory approval of such approach, performing the remediation itself and monitoring the status of our remediation. The costs incurred to date associated with these activities have not had a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. Estimating environmental clean-up liabilities is complex and heavily dependent on the nature and extent of historical information and physical data about the contaminated site, the complexity of the contamination, the uncertainty of which remedy to apply and the outcome of discussions with regulatory authorities relating to the contamination. To date, environmental laws and regulations have not had an adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. However, changes in these government laws and regulations are ongoing and may make environmental compliance, such as emissions control and waste disposal, increasingly expensive. We cannot predict future costs which may be incurred to meet environmental obligations.

|D. | Property, Plants and Equipment
|-- | ------------------------------

At December 31, 2003, we had a total of 71 manufacturing facilities located in 14 countries. In addition to our manufacturing facilities, we have a total of 17 product development, engineering and testing centres located in 7 countries. The map below shows the location of our manufacturing facilities.

Together, our manufacturing facilities and our product development, engineering and testing centres occupy a total of approximately 9 million square feet, of which approximately 1.8 million square feet (or 20%) are owned by us and the remainder are leased from MI Developments Inc., a related party, and other third parties. The leases contain provisions that are customary for leases of similar types of facilities, run for various terms, require periodic renegotiation of rents based on prevailing market conditions and, in most cases, contain renewal options. Our manufacturing facilities range in size from approximately 18,000 to 539,000 square feet of floor space. As production has become more automated, the size and potential production volume of the typical plant has increased. Most of our existing manufacturing facilities can be adapted to a variety of manufacturing processes without significant capital expenditures other than for new equipment.

Interiors

Many of our Interiors manufacturing facilities supply their products on a "just-in-time" and "just-in-sequence" basis. The "just-in-time" and "just-in-sequence" manufacturing processes allow both us and our customers to reduce inventories and fixed costs compared to more traditional manufacturing techniques which have lower inventory turnover, higher indirect labour costs and longer production set-up times. These processes originated within our seating facilities and have been increasingly used in some of our other interiors facilities as the complexity and increased assembly responsibility for cockpit modules and other interior modules has steadily increased. Our "just-in-time" facilities are generally located within 30 minutes from the customers' assembly plants.

In North America, at December 31, 2003, our Interiors business operated 27 manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana and Mexico. 14 of these facilities are dedicated to the assembly and supply of complete seating systems, sidewall systems and cockpit systems on a "just-in-time" and "just-in-sequence" basis to our customers, eight are used for the manufacture of seating components, and four are used for the production of cockpit systems, sidewall systems and overhead systems. We also operate a tooling facility in Michigan which designs and builds automotive tooling for us, divisions of Magna and third party customers.

Our Interiors business also operates one wholly-owned engineering and product development centre in Michigan and one prototyping and testing facility in Michigan. These centres are actively involved in the complete product development process, from the use of surveys and clinics in conjunction with our marketing department to determine consumer preferences, to performing research and development, styling, designing, engineering, validating and testing functions, to developing actual products based on consumer suggestions.

In Europe, as of December 31, 2003, our Interiors business operated 30 manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland and Austria. We also operate a joint venture facility in China. These facilities manufacture and supply complete seats and seating components, cockpit modules, instrument panels, consoles, glove boxes, door trim panels, door casings, instrument panel topper pads, sunvisors, automotive carpets, trunk linings, interior panels and multi-functional carpet and sound insulation systems as well as other interior components and systems for European automobile manufacturers. Seven of these facilities are dedicated to the assembly and supply of complete seating systems on a "just-in-time" and "just-in-sequence" basis, five are used for the manufacture of seating components, 11 are used for the production of cockpit systems, sidewall systems and other interior components, two are used for the manufacture of floor carpet and acoustic systems and the remaining five are used for the assembly, manufacture and supply of cockpit systems and sidewall systems on a "just-in-time" and "in sequence" basis. Our Interiors business also operates 12 engineering and product development centres in Europe and Asia.

Closures

At December 31, 2003, our Closures business operated seven manufacturing facilities in Ontario, one in Italy and one each in Mexico, the Czech Republic, Poland and Brazil. Those facilities design, engineer and manufacture door modules, sliding doors and liftgates, mid-doors, door hardware components and mechanisms, including power and manual window regulators, door, hood and trunk latching mechanisms and release mechanisms of various types and designs, strikers, plastic handles, actuators, gear shift mechanisms, windshield wipers and electric motors and other assemblies. Design, development, engineering and testing work is done at our research and development centre located in Michigan as well as at the Closures Technical Centre in Newmarket, Ontario. Design and product development is done at our facilities in Germany.

Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders. Executive officers serve at the pleasure of the Board. There are no contracts, arrangements or understandings between the above individuals and any other person pursuant to which they were selected as directors. There are no family relationships between any of the directors and executive officers. Reference is made to the information set forth under "Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers - Employment Contracts"  in the Circular/Proxy Statement filed as Exhibit 14.4 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in partial response to this item, for a description of the contracts, arrangements and understandings between the executive officers of the Company and any other person pursuant to which they were selected as executive officers.

Failure by the Company to meet the requirements of the corporate constitution (described in Item 10) relating to the payment of Required Dividends (as defined in the corporate constitution) or the minimum return on stated capital required by the terms of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will entitle the holders of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, as a class, to certain rights to elect directors, the exercise of which could result in changes in the composition of the Board.

|B. | Compensation
|-- | ------------

Reference is made to the information set forth under "Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers" in the Circular/Proxy Statement filed as Exhibit 14.4 hereto (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company's Report on Form 6-K dated April 7, 2004), and which is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Management Incentive Compensation

Intier believes that direct profit participation motivates its key management. Accordingly, management who have senior operational or corporate responsibilities, in addition to members of Corporate Management, receive remuneration consisting of a base salary and an incentive bonus generally tied to financial performance. These individuals do not participate in the Magna or Intier employee equity participation and profit sharing program or the 401K plan or group registered retirement savings plan noted above.

The corporate constitution provides that aggregate incentive bonuses paid or payable to Corporate Management in respect of any fiscal year shall not exceed 6% of Pre-Tax Profits Before Profit Sharing for such year. See Item 10. "Additional Information - Memorandum and Articles of Association".

The aggregate amount of compensation paid to all directors and officers (including non-executive members) for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $6 million.

|C. | Board Practices

|D. | Employees

Employees

At December 31, 2003, we employed approximately 24,000 people, including approximately 5,600 in Canada, 4,700 in the United States, 8,300 in Europe, 4,500 in Mexico, 700 in Asia Pacific and 200 in Brazil. In our ongoing effort to maintain good relations with our employees, we have adopted an Employee Charter of Rights. This employee charter formalizes our commitment to fair treatment of our employees, safe and healthy workplaces, competitiveness of wages and benefits, employee ownership and profit sharing and open communications. In addition, we have established "Fairness Committees" in substantially all our North American manufacturing facilities. These committees enable employees to have many of their concerns resolved by a committee comprised of both management and employee representatives, voting by secret ballot. In 2000, we created the position of Employee Advocate on a pilot basis at a number of our divisions. The Employee Advocate is meant to represent employees to ensure that any problems that arise in the workplace are addressed quickly and in accordance with our employee charter of rights, our corporate constitution and our operating principles.

In North America, we are currently a party to collective bargaining agreements in the United States with the employees of the Integram St. Louis, Excelsior Springs and Ontegra Brighton divisions of our Interiors operations, who are members of the UAW. In Canada, we are currently a party to  collective bargaining agreements with the Integram Windsor, Innovatech and Mississauga Seating Systems divisions of our Interiors operations, who are members of the CAW. The collective agreements in respect of our Integram Windsor, Mississauga Seating Systems, Innovatech and Ontegra Brighton divisions contain provisions which recognize our operating principles. If we are successful in operating these divisions with this form of collective agreement, we will examine whether to extend this form of agreement to some of our other plants if our employees at these plants vote in favour of unionization in the future. In addition, the employees at our Lewisburg Seating Systems division have voted in favour of certifying the UAW as their bargaining agent. Our Mexican facilities are also represented by local unions.

Some of our European employees benefit from national industry-wide agreements relating to compensation and employment conditions and are members of in-house employees' associations. In addition, the employees of our Interiors operations in the United Kingdom are members of the Transport and General Workers Union (Lenham), the General Municipal and Boilermakers Union (Bitton), the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union, the I.S.T.C. (Wire Workers), T.G.W.U., A.E.E.U., G.M.B.A.T.U. and M.S.F. trade unions.

Intier's corporate constitution requires that ten percent (10%) of its employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing, for each year, be allocated to certain deferred profit sharing plans or defined benefit plans for the benefit of our employees or distributed in the form of cash directly to such employees. Effective fiscal 2002, we established an employee equity participation and profit sharing program similar to that of Magna. As part of this program, a Canadian deferred profit sharing plan, a U.S. deferred profit sharing plan, and a United Kingdom employee share incentive plan have been established by us effective fiscal 2002. Each of such plans invests primarily in Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of the Corporation. Under the Canadian, U.S., Austrian and U.K. plans, seven percent (7%) of our employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing must be contributed by us each year to such plans for the benefit of eligible employees, other than those Canadian and U.S. employees who have elected to participate in our defined benefit pension plan option, in which case the employer's contribution in respect of such employees is reduced to four percent (4%) of our employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing. Under the Austrian profit sharing plan, five percent (5%) of qualifying pre-tax profits are contributed to the plan which invests in our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. An eligible employee's entitlement each year under the plans is then determined based on his or her individual points (calculated based on base salary and length of service) as compared to the total points of all plan participants.

Now that our employee equity participation and profit sharing program has been established, our eligible employees only continue to participate in Magna's employee equity participation and profit sharing program to the extent that their units in Magna's deferred profit sharing plan remain in that plan.

B.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook Section 3110, "Asset Retirement Obligations", which establishes standards for the recognition, measurements and disclosure of asset retirement obligations and the related asset retirement costs. The Company has adopted this section retroactively and as such, the financial statements of the prior period have been adjusted accordingly.

On January 31, 2004, the Company closed an agreement to sell a manufacturing facility reported in the Europe Interior Systems segment with an effective date of sale of January 1, 2004. As required by recent amendments to the CICA Handbook Section 3475, "Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations", the financial results of the manufacturing facility's operations have been separately disclosed as discontinued operations.

A description of these changes and their effect on the first quarter of 2004 and the December 31, 2003 balance sheet can be found in our first quarter results and MD&A filed under Form 6-K on May 11, 2004.

|B. | Memorandum and Articles of Association
|-- | --------------------------------------



Our Restated Articles of Incorporation and the General Business By-law No. 3 have been filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the Company's registration statement on Amendment No. 1 to Form F-1 (File No. 333-13692) as filed on July 23, 2001, and are hereby incorporated by reference.



One of the unique aspects of our corporate culture is the Company's Corporate Constitution which is embodied in our Restated Articles of Incorporation.



Corporate Constitution

We have adopted and practised the long-standing organizational and operating policies and principles used by Magna, some of which are embodied in our corporate constitution. The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of our corporate constitution, which features cannot be amended or varied without the prior approval of the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (other than Magna or any person who, by agreement, is acting jointly with Magna over which Magna or any such person exercises direct or indirect control or direction) and our Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class.

Board of Directors

Our corporate constitution provides that, unless otherwise approved by the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class, a majority of the members of our Board of Directors shall be individuals who are not our officers or employees or individuals related to such persons, and that a minimum of two directors shall be individuals who are not our officers or employees nor officers, director or employees of any of our affiliates (including Magna), nor individuals related to any such officers, employees or directors.

Required Allocations

Our corporate constitution requires that a significant portion of our pre-tax profits be distributed or used for certain purposes, as described below:

Intier Employee Equity Participation and Profit Sharing Programs

Our corporate constitution requires that, subject to our funding obligations with respect to our defined benefit pension plan, 10% of our employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing for each year commencing not later than 2003 be allocated to our deferred profit sharing plan or our defined benefit pension plan or otherwise be distributed to our employees or the employees of our affiliates who do not participate in a separate employee equity participation and profit sharing plan of one or more of our affiliates, and who do not receive management incentive bonuses, during such year or the immediately following fiscal year. In this connection, in 2002, we have established an employee equity participation and profit sharing program under which 10% of our employee pre-tax profits before profit sharing are allocated accordingly.

Dividends

Our corporate constitution provides that, unless otherwise approved by the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class, the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares shall be entitled to receive and we shall pay thereon, if, as and when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in respect of each fiscal year so that the aggregate amount of the dividends paid or payable on our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares in respect of each of the two years ending December 31, 2001 and 2002:

| | · | shall be not less than 10% of our after-tax profits for each such year (after any preferred share dividends, including dividends on our Convertible Series Preferred Shares): and,
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in respect of each fiscal year commencing after December 31, 2002, the aggregate amount of the dividends paid or payable on our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares shall be at least equal to the greater of:

| | · | 10% of our after-tax profits for the fiscal year (after any preferred share dividends, including dividends on the Convertible Series Preferred Shares); and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | an amount which, when added to the aggregate of the dividends paid on our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares in respect of the two immediately preceding fiscal years, equals 20% of the aggregate of our after-tax profits (after any preferred share dividends, including dividends on our Convertible Series Preferred Shares) for the fiscal year and the two preceding fiscal years.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any dividend shall be deemed to be paid in respect of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which the dividend is declared. However, our Board of Directors may specify that any dividend be deemed to be paid in respect of the fiscal quarter in which it is declared or in respect of any future fiscal quarter.

Research and Development

Our corporate constitution requires that a minimum of 7% of our pre-tax profits be allocated to research and development during such fiscal year or the immediately following fiscal year.

Social Objectives

Pursuant to our corporate constitution, a maximum of 2% of our pre-tax profits shall be allocated to the promotion of social objectives during each fiscal year or the immediately following fiscal year. Pursuant to our social commitment agreement with Magna, three-quarters of the maximum of 2% of our pre-tax profits for any fiscal year is to be contributed to social and charitable programs coordinated by Magna or other charitable or non-profit organizations on behalf of Magna and its affiliated companies, including us.

Incentive Bonuses

Our corporate constitution provides that the incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash, in deferred cash payments in future years or in our shares) paid or payable to our corporate management in respect of each fiscal year shall not, in the aggregate, exceed 6% of our pre-tax profits before profit sharing for such fiscal year. Our executive management, with the approval of our Board of Directors or a duly appointed committee of our Board of Directors, has the right to allocate the amount to be paid to individuals within our corporate management as well as to determine the timing and manner (whether by cash or our shares or otherwise) of payment.

Authorized Share Capital

Our corporate constitution provides that no resolution of our Board of Directors purporting to:

| | · | increase the maximum number of authorized shares of any class of our shares; or
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | create a new class or series of shares having voting rights of whatever kind (other than on default of payment of dividends) or having rights to participate in our profits in whatever manner (other than a class or series convertible into existing classes of shares or a class or series having a fixed dividend or a dividend determined without regard to profits),
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall be effective unless such resolution is approved by ordinary resolution of the holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares, each voting separately as a class.

Where our articles of incorporation require the approval of the holders of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares voting as a separate class, such approval must be given by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of such holders, other than the votes attaching to our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned (directly or indirectly) by Magna or by any person who, by agreement, is acting jointly with Magna or over which Magna or any such person exercises direct or indirect control or direction. No such limitations apply to any other holder of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Business Investments

Except as otherwise approved by the holders of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and our Class B Shares, each voting as a separate class, our corporate constitution prohibits us from making an investment (whether direct or indirect, by means of certain loans or guarantees or otherwise) in any unrelated business, where such investment, together with the aggregate of all other investments in unrelated businesses on the date of investment, exceeds 20% of our total shareholders' equity at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding that date.

Additionally, this summary does not address the U.S. federal tax consequences applicable to investors that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, dealers in securities or commodities, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, persons that will hold shares as a position in a "straddle" or a "conversion transaction" and persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar. This summary is based upon tax laws and practice of the United States as in effect on the date of this Report, which are subject to change. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder generally will realize, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, ordinary income on the receipt of cash dividends on the shares. To the extent that any such dividend exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of the U.S. Holders' tax basis in the shares to the extent thereof and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property. Subject to the requirements and limitations imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a U.S. Holder may elect to claim the Canadian tax withheld or paid with respect to dividends on the shares as a foreign tax credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability of such holder. Dividends on the shares generally will constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, "financial services income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders who do not elect to claim any foreign tax credits may claim a deduction for Canadian income tax withheld. Dividends paid on the shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available in certain cases to U.S. corporations.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon a sale or exchange of a share, a U.S. Holder will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and the tax basis of such share. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of individuals are eligible for reduced rates of taxation depending upon the holding period of such capital assets.

This summary is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any particular holder. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them having regard to their particular circumstances.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary fairly represents the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to a person who purchases Class A Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to this offering and who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Canadian Tax Act") and any applicable income tax treaty or convention and throughout the period of ownership of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada at any time, does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with a trade or business that the holder carries on or is deemed to carry on, in Canada at any time, and who for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act holds the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as capital property, deals at arm's length with us, and whose Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are not "designated insurance property" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act and are not effectively connected with an insurance business carried on in Canada (each a "non-resident holder"). This summary does not take into account the "mark-to-market" rules relating to securities held by "financial institutions" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act for purposes of these rules. Holders that are financial institutions should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, the current provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the "Treaty"), our understanding of the current administrative and assessing policies and practices published by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (formerly Revenue Canada) and all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any other changes in the law or administrative and assessing policies or practices, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations. This summary assumes that our Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will at all relevant times be listed on a prescribed stock exchange for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act (which currently includes The Toronto Stock Exchange).

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective investor and no representation with respect to the tax consequences to any particular investor is made. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax considerations relevant to them, having regard to their particular circumstances.

Dividends

Generally, a Holder who is, for purposes of the Treaty, the beneficial owner of dividends on the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends, including stock dividends, paid or credited, or deemed under the Canadian Tax Act to be paid or credited, by the Company to the Holder of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a rate of 15% of the gross amount of such dividends. Dividends paid or credited to a Holder that is a United States tax-exempt organization as described in Article XXI of the Treaty will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Dispositions

A Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized by the Holder on the disposition of a Class A Subordinate Voting Share unless the Class A Subordinate Voting Share is "taxable Canadian property" (within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act) to the Holder. A Class A Subordinate Voting Share will generally not be taxable Canadian property to a Holder provided that the Class A Subordinate Voting Share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes The Toronto Stock Exchange), within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act on the date of disposition and provided such Holder, or persons with whom such Holder did not deal at arms' length (within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act), or any combination thereof, did not own or have an interest in or an option in respect of 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Company at any time within five years immediately preceding the date of disposition. Where a Class A Subordinate Voting Share is taxable Canadian property to the Holder, the Treaty will generally exempt the Holder from tax in respect of the disposition of the Class A Subordinate Voting Share, provided its value is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

There are not any Canadian federal estate or gift taxes applicable in respect of the purchase or ownership of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Certain Other Considerations

There may be other income tax considerations applicable to a holder of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares who, for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada and, for purposes of the Treaty, is not a resident of the United States. Each holder should consult its own tax advisors.

|(1) | Includes all fees in respect of services performed in order to comply with generally accepted auditing standards ("GAAS"). In some cases, these may include an appropriate allocation of fees for tax services or accounting consultations, to the extent such services were necessary to comply with GAAS.                                                                                       
|(2) | Generally consists of fees paid in respect of assurance and related services (e.g., due diligence), including such things as employee benefit plan audits, accounting consultations and audits in connection with acquisitions, internal control reviews, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.
|(3) | Includes all fees paid in respect of services performed by the Auditors' tax professionals, except those services required in order to comply with GAAS which are included under "Audit services". Tax services include Canadian, U.S., Mexican, European and other international tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.                                                                    
|(4) | Consists of fees in respect of all services not falling under any of the foregoing categories.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

The audit committee of the Board established in 2002 a process for pre-approval of all non-audit services to be rendered by the Company's auditors. This process includes reviewing an annual budget for audit and permitted non-audit services. The audit committee's approval is required to exceed the budget amount for a particular category of non-audit services and to engage the auditor for any non-audit services not included in the budget. The audit committee considers whether such services are consistent with applicable regulatory requirements regarding auditor independence. The audit committee also considers whether the auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as familiarity with the Company's business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and whether the services enhance our ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality. The audit committee reviews the services rendered by, and actual fees paid to, the auditors at each regularly scheduled quarterly audit committee meeting, and may approve changes to the pre-established budgeted amount or the services included in each category. The audit committee has delegated authority for approval of permitted non-audit services beyond the thresholds established to the Chairman of the audit committee, provided that in all cases such approval is in writing and signed by the Chairman. The Chairman will report to the audit committee on all such pre-approvals granted under such authority at the next regularly scheduled audit committee meeting.  None of the services provided by the auditor in 2003 were treated as exempt from pre-approval pursuant to the de-minimis provision of paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
