(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
management and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of April 30, 1998, and January 31, 1998, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 30,
1998 and 1997. The consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1998. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
those to be expected for the year.
 
     During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company purchased the
remaining 50% equity in its aluminum wheel joint venture in Somerset, Kentucky,
Aluminum Wheel Technology, Inc.
 
(2) SUMMARY OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes standards
for the reporting and display of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is
defined as all changes in a Company's net assets except changes resulting from
transactions with shareholders. It differs from net income in that certain items
currently recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income must be reported in a financial statement with the
cumulative total presented as a component of equity. This statement was adopted
by the Company effective February 1, 1998.
 
     The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended April 30,
1998 and 1997 are as follows:

subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the Company and such subsidiaries,
irrevocably and without recourse, transferred and will transfer substantially
all of their U.S. dollar denominated trade accounts receivable to Funding Co.
Funding Co. then sold and will sell such trade accounts receivable to an
independent issuer of receivable-backed commercial paper. The trade receivable
securitization agreement was accounted for as a sale of receivables in
accordance with FASB No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets & Extinguishments of Liabilities." The Company has collection
and administrative responsibilities with respect to all the receivables which
are sold.
 
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     At April 30, 1998, management believes that the Company was in compliance
with its various financial covenants. Management expects that the Company will
remain in compliance with its financial covenants in all material respects
through the period ending April 30, 1999.
 
     The Company is party to various litigation. Management believes that the
outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated operations or financial condition of the Company.
 
(6) GUARANTOR AND NONGUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     In connection with the Company's merger with MWC Holdings, Inc. on July 2,
1996 and as part of the financing thereof, the Company issued and sold $250
million in aggregate principal amount of its 11% senior subordinated notes due
2006 (the "11% Notes") in a public offering. The 11% Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
future senior indebtedness of the Company, and are guaranteed by certain of the
Company's domestic subsidiaries.
 
     In connection with the Company's acquisition of Lemmerz Holding GmbH on
June 30, 1997 (the "Lemmerz Acquisition"), the Company issued and sold $400
million in aggregate principal amount of its 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes
due 2007 (the "9 1/8% Notes") in two offerings under Rule 144A of the Securities
Act. The 9 1/8% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking
pari passu with the 11% Notes and are guaranteed by certain of the same domestic
subsidiaries of the Company as the guaranteed 11% Notes.
 
     The following condensed consolidating financial information presents:
 
          (1) Condensed consolidating financial statements as of April 30, 1998

method) for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principle
elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany
balances and transactions.

ITEM 2.
 
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended April 30, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30,
1997
 
     The Company's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $413.9
million, an increase of 65.4% as compared to net sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. This increase was due to the additional sales contributed by
Lemmerz, which was acquired effective June 30, 1997, and higher sales in the
North American and European Aluminum Wheel groups and the Automotive Brake and
Commercial Highway businesses in North America.
 
     The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased
to $72.1 million or 17.4% of net sales as compared to $38.0 million or 15.2% of
net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase in margin was
attributable to the increased revenues and improved productivity in all of the
Company's businesses.
 
     Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $15.2 million or 3.7%
of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to $8.9 million or
3.6% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 1997. This increase was
attributable to additional costs incurred as a result of the Lemmerz
Acquisition. The Company believes that marketing, general and administrative
costs as a percent of net sales will improve as the expected savings are
realized as a result of the Lemmerz Acquisition.
 
     Engineering and product development costs were $4.4 million or 1.0% of net
sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to $2.3 million or 0.9%
of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company believes that
engineering and product development costs as a percent of sales will improve
even as these costs increase to successfully develop new products.
 
     Amortization of intangibles increased by $1.6 million to $3.9 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998. This increase is attributable to the increased
goodwill recognized as a result of the Lemmerz Acquisition.
 
     Interest expense was $24.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, an
increase of $5.8 million over the same period of fiscal 1997. This increase was
due to the increase in debt as a result of the Lemmerz Acquisition.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company's operations used $8.9 million in cash during the first quarter
of fiscal 1998, a decrease of $4.4 million as compared to the same period of
fiscal 1997. This decrease in cash flow was attributable primarily to higher
working capital requirements related to the Lemmerz Acquisition.
 
     Capital expenditures for the quarter amounted to $31.5 million. These
capital expenditures were primarily for additional machinery and equipment to
increase production capacity at the Company's North American and European
Aluminum Wheel facilities to meet expected future customer requirements for
fabricated aluminum and FFC(TM) wheels. The Company anticipates capital
expenditures for fiscal 1998 will be approximately $110.0 million relating
primarily to new vehicle platforms, cost reduction programs and maintenance.
 
     As of April 30, 1998, the Company was party to an amended credit agreement
dated June 30, 1997 (the "Amended Credit Agreement") with Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce ("CIBC") and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation ("Merrill Lynch"), as
managing agents. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, a syndicate of
lenders agreed to lend to the Company up to $470.5 million in the form of senior
secured term loan facilities, such aggregate amount being allocated among (i) a
Tranche A-1 Term Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $173.0
million, (ii) a Tranche A-2 Term Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount
of up to $100 million, (iii) a Tranche B Term Loan facility in an aggregated
principal

amount of up to $109 million and (iv) a Tranche C Term Loan facility in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $88.5 million, and up to $270 million in the
form of a senior secured revolving credit facility. Such term loan facilities
and revolving facility are guaranteed by the Company and all of its existing and
future material domestic subsidiaries. Such term loan facilities and revolving
facility are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, now
owned or acquired later, including a pledge of all of the shares of certain of
the Company's existing and future material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the
shares of certain of the Company's existing and future foreign subsidiaries. As
of April 30, 1998, there was $173.8 million outstanding under the term loan
facilities and $231.7 million available under the revolving facility. On June
12, 1998, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement and thereby (a)
eliminated (and repaid the outstanding principal balance of) the Tranche A-1, B
and C Term Loans and (b) increased the revolving credit facility to $400
million.
 
     In April 1998, the Company entered into a three-year agreement pursuant to
which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold, and will continue to
sell on an on-going basis, a portion of their accounts receivable to Hayes
Lemmerz Funding Corporation ("Funding Co."), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Accordingly, the Company and such subsidiaries, irrevocably and without
recourse, transferred and will transfer substantially all of their U.S. dollar
denominated trade accounts receivable to Funding Co. Funding Co. then sold and
will sell such trade accounts receivable to an independent issuer of receivable-
backed commercial paper. The Company has collection and administrative
responsibilities with respect to all the receivables which are sold.
 
     At April 30, 1998, management believes that the Company was in compliance
with the various covenants under the agreements pursuant to which it may borrow
money. Management expects that the Company will remain in material compliance
with these covenants through the period ending April 30, 1999.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
     The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems
and related computer-controlled manufacturing and quality systems to identify
the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an
implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a major system failure or miscalculations. The Company presently
believes that, with modifications to existing software and converting to new
software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems
for the Company's computer systems as so modified and converted and, as such,
the Company believes that the cost of modification and conversion related to the
Year 2000 problem will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial condition of the Company. However, if such modifications
and conversions are not completed timely, the Year 2000 problem may have a
material impact on the operations of the Company.
