                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (In thousands)
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Basis of Presentation

         Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are,
         in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
         financial position and results of operations of International Wire
         Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The results for the three months ended
         March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
         be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should
         be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
         statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
         Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
         year ended December 31, 1999. Also see Note 2 - Discontinued Operations
         and Contributed Capital.


         Statement of Cash Flows

         Interest paid for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, were
         $4,945 and $3,077, respectively. Total income taxes paid (refunded) for
         the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, was $2,059 and ($504),
         respectively.


         Change in Accounting Principle

         In April 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
         Activities," which requires costs of start-up activities and
         organization costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective
         for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
         1998. The Company adopted SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999. The
         Company had $1,410 in net capitalized start-up costs remaining at
         December 31, 1998, which the Company expensed in accordance with SOP
         98-5 at January 1, 1999.


2.       Discontinued Operations and Contributed Capital

         On March 29, 2000, the Company consummated the sale of its Wire Harness
         Segment to Viasystems International, Inc. ("Viasystems") for $210,000
         in cash (the "Wire Harness Sale"). The Company and Viasystems are
         commonly controlled by affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate and Furst
         Incorporated. As such, the Company has accounted for the Wire Harness
         Sale on a basis consistent with the accounting for a transfer of assets
         between commonly owned entities. The excess of (1) the proceeds over
         (2) the net book value of the assets disposed plus the related
         expenses, approximately $1,500, and estimated taxes of $7,000; of
         $121,713 has been recorded as a contribution of capital. The results of
         operations of the Wire Harness Segment have been reclassified to
         discontinued operations for all periods presented.

         The purchase price was determined by senior management of both
         companies. In addition, each of the boards of directors received
         opinions from nationally recognized financial advisors that the
         purchase price was fair, from a financial point of view, to each of the
         respective parties. In connection with the Wire Harness Sale, the
         Company entered into a supply agreement to supply substantially all of
         the Wire Harness Segment's insulated wire requirements through 2003,
         which is a continuation of





                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         existing practice. In connection with the Wire Harness Sale, the
         Company agreed to indemnify Viasystems for certain claims and
         litigation including any current or future claims related to the case
         titled Whirlpool Corporation v. Wirekraft Industries, Inc., certain
         product liability claims, as described in the purchase agreement, and
         any current or future liabilities associated with the Internal Revenue
         Service examination of the U.S. income tax return of Kirtland Indiana,
         Limited Partnership for the tax period ended December 21, 1992. The
         Company believes that final resolution of these matters will not have a
         material adverse effect on the Company and that adequate amounts of
         reserves have been established.


3.       Extraordinary Items-Loss Related to Early Retirement of Debt

         Substantially all of the net proceeds (after the payment of fees and
         expenses) from the Wire Harness Sale were used to repay indebtedness
         outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility. Accordingly,
         the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,747, net of income tax
         related to the write-off of deferred financing fees.


4.       Inventories

         The composition of inventories at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999

</TABLE>


         In connection with the Wire Harness Sale, the Company repaid all of the
         outstanding borrowing on the Term A1 Loan and Term B Loan of the
         Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 17, 1997, as amended
         (the "Credit Agreement"). Additionally, the Company repaid a portion of
         the Term A Loan. As of March 31, 2000, the Credit Agreement provides
         senior secured financing under the Term A Loan of up to $2,955 (the
         "Term Facility") and a $75,000 revolving loan and letter of credit
         facility (the "Revolver"). Mandatory principal payments of the Term
         Facility are due in quarterly installments. The final installment is
         due September 30, 2002, at which time the Revolver is also due.

         Borrowings under the Term A Loan and Revolver bear interest, at the
         option of the Company, at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Alternate
         Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.25% or (b) the
         Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.25%. The
         Alternate Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate margins are established
         quarterly based on a formula as defined in the Credit Agreement.
         Interest payment dates vary depending on the interest rate option to
         which the Term Facility and the Revolver are tied, but generally
         interest is payable quarterly. The Credit Agreement contains several
         financial covenants which, among other things, require the Company to
         maintain certain financial ratios and restrict the Company's ability to
         incur indebtedness, make capital expenditures and pay dividends.

         The Company's 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes, 11 3/4% Series B
         Senior Subordinated Notes, and 14% Senior Subordinated Notes
         (collectively, the "Senior Notes") restrict, among other things, the
         incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company, the payment of
         dividends and other distributions in respect of the Company's capital
         stock, the imposition of restrictions on the payment of dividends and
         other distributions by the Company's subsidiaries, the creation of
         liens on the properties and the assets of the Company to secure certain
         subordinated debt and certain mergers, sales of assets and transactions
         with affiliates.

7.       Business Segment Information

         On March 29, 2000, the Company sold its Wire Harness Segment. As a
         result, the Company operates its business as one business segment, the
         Wire Segment.


8.       Guarantor Subsidiaries

         The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally (as well as jointly and
         severally) guaranteed on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis by
         each subsidiary of the Company (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") other
         than Electro Componentes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (sold to Viasystems on
         March 29, 2000 as part of the Wire Harness Sale), Wirekraft Industries
         de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (sold to Viasystems on March 29, 2000 as part
         of the Wire Harness Sale), IWG-Philippines, Inc., IWG International,
         Inc., Italtrecce-Societa Italiana Trecce & Affini S.r.l., International
         Wire SAS, JYM Finance, S.A., Tresse Metalique J. Forissier, S.A.,
         Cablerie E. Charbonnet, S.A., Forissier Connectique, S.A., Hermitec,
         S.A. and Fressynet, S.A. (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Each of
         the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is wholly
         owned by the Company.

         The following condensed, consolidating financial statements of the
         Company include the accounts of the Company, the combined accounts of
         the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the combined accounts of the
         Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Given the size of the Non-Guarantor
         Subsidiaries relative to the Company on a consolidated basis, separate
         financial statements of the respective Guarantor Subsidiaries are not
         presented because management has determined that such information is
         not material in assessing the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

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

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis includes the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999.

On December 29, 1999, the Company acquired (the "Forissier Group Acquisition")
the business of a group of three French wire and cable manufacturers
(collectively, the "Forissier Group"). Included in the three months ended March
31, 2000, are the results of operations of the Forissier Group.

On March 29, 2000, the Company consummated the sale of its Wire Harness Segment
to Viasystems International, Inc. ("Viasystems") for $210.0 million in cash (the
"Wire Harness Sale"). The Company and Viasystems are commonly controlled by
affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate and Furst Incorporated. As such, the Company has
accounted for the Wire Harness Sale on a basis consistent with the accounting
for a transfer of assets between commonly owned entities. The excess of (1) the
proceeds over (2) the net book value of the assets disposed plus the related
expenses, approximately $1.5 million, and estimated taxes of $7.0 million; has
been recorded as a contribution of capital. The results of operations of the
Wire Harness Segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all
periods presented. The purchase price was determined by senior management of
both companies. In addition, each of the boards of directors received opinions
from nationally recognized financial advisors that the purchase price was fair,
from a financial point of view, to each of the respective parties. In connection
with the Wire Harness Sale, the Company entered into a supply agreement to
supply substantially all of the Wire Harness Segment's insulated wire
requirements through 2003, which is a continuation of existing practice.

A portion of the Company's revenues is derived from processing customer-owned
("tolled") copper. The value of tolled copper is excluded from both sales and
costs of sales of the Company, as title to these materials and the related risks
of ownership do not pass to the Company.

The cost of copper has historically been subject to fluctuations. While
fluctuations in the price of copper may directly affect the per unit prices of
the Company's products, these fluctuations have not had, nor are expected to
have, a material impact on the Company's profitability due to copper price
pass-through arrangements that the Company has with its customers. These sales
arrangements are based on similar variations of monthly copper price formulas.
Use of these copper price formulas minimizes the differences between raw
material copper costs charged to the cost of sales and the pass-through pricing
charged to customers.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $144.6 million,
representing a $26.3 million, or 22.2%, increase over the first quarter of 1999.
The increase in sales resulted from higher sales volume to customers in the
general industrial, electronics/data communications and automotive industries,
incremental sales from the Forissier Group Acquisition and an increase in the
average selling price of copper. Partially offsetting these factors were lower
sales to customers who supplying the appliance industry from slower industry
growth and customers' inventory reductions. In general, the Company prices its
wire products based upon a spread over the cost of copper, which results in a
increased dollar value of sales when copper costs increase. The average price





                                       15
<PAGE>   16

of copper based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. ("COMEX") increased
to $0.82 per pound during the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $0.64 per
pound during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales increased to 74.1% for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, from 72.4% for the three months ended March 31,
1999. This change was due primarily to the increased cost and selling price of
copper. Cost reductions achieved from improved operating efficiencies and a
favorable shift in product mix partially offset the impact of higher copper
prices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million to $12.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $10.8 million for
the same period in 1999 due to the additional costs related to the Forissier
Group operations and incremental costs from higher unit volume.

Depreciation and amortization was $9.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$0.7 million was primarily the result of depreciation of property, plant and
equipment additions and amortization of goodwill related to the Forissier Group
Acquisition.

Income from discontinued operations was $3.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. This increase was due primarily to a one-time charge related to a change
in accounting principle in 1999. There was no such charge in the first quarter
of 2000.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. In the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company had a charge of $1.4 million related
to the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle. There was no
such charge in the first quarter of 2000.

In connection with Wire Harness Sale, the Company utilized the majority of the
proceeds to pay down outstanding debt on the Company's senior bank facility.
Accordingly, the Company recognized a one-time charge of $4.8 million related to
the write-off of deferred fees associated with the redeemed bank debt. There was
no such charge in the first quarter of 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Inflation has not been a material factor affecting the Company's business. As a
result of the copper price pass-through arrangements that the Company has with
its customers, fluctuations in the price of copper have not, nor are expected to
have, a material impact on the Company's profitability. The Company's general
operating expenses, such as salaries, employee benefits and facilities costs are
subject to normal inflationary pressures.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 was ($5.5) million, compared to $21.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to fluctuations in working
capital requirements, primarily inventory and accounts payable levels, from the
previous year end to March 31 of each respective year.

Net cash used in investing activities, representing capital expenditures, was
$5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $8.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $9.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to ($10.8) million for the same






                                       16

period in 1999. In March 2000, the Company generated $208.5 million in proceeds
from the sale of the Wire Harness Segment, net of transaction costs of
approximately $1.5 million. The Company applied substantially all of the net
proceeds from this sale for repayment of outstanding obligations under the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Company's ability to fund its liquidity and capital requirements and to pay
its indebtedness is limited to its ability to receive dividends and other
distributions from its subsidiaries. The Company's Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and its Senior Notes prohibit the Company from imposing certain
restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
distributions to the Company.

            QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company does not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for
trading purposes. The Company does, however, recognize market risk from interest
rate, foreign currency exchange and commodity price exposure.

INTEREST RATE RISK

With the sale of the Wire Harness Segment and the subsequent repayment of debt
outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the
Company has reduced its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. At March 31,
2000, approximately $18.5 million of the Company's long-term debt, specifically,
borrowings outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
and the Company's borrowings related to Industrial Revenue Bonds, bears interest
at variable rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Company has foreign operations in the Philippines, Italy and France.
Accordingly, the Company has some transactions that are denominated in foreign
currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the
relative value of currencies.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

The principal raw material used by the Company is copper, which is purchased in
the form of 5/16 inch rod from the major copper producers in North America.
Copper rod prices are based on market prices, which are generally established by
reference to the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. ("COMEX") prices, plus a
premium charged to convert copper cathode to copper rod and deliver it to the
required location. As a world traded commodity, copper prices have historically
been subject to fluctuations. While fluctuations in the price of copper may
directly affect the per unit prices of the Company's products, these
fluctuations have not had, nor are expected to have, a material impact on the
Company's profitability due to copper price pass-through arrangements that the
Company has with its customers. These sales arrangements are based on similar
variations of monthly copper price formulas. Use of these copper price formulas
minimizes the differences between raw material copper costs charged to the cost
of sales and the pass-through pricing charged to customers.
