(UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective May 12, 1999, MS Acquisition Corp changed its name to Trianon
Industries Corp.
Trianon Industries Corp. ("the Company") is the name of the group formed by
the combination of the activities of SOFEDIT S.A. and Trianon Industries
Corp.
Trianon Industries Corp. ("Trianon Industries"), through Aetna Industries
Inc. ("Aetna"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, is a leading direct supplier
of high quality modules, welded subassemblies and chassis parts used as
original equipment components in the North American automobile industry.
SOFEDIT S.A., ("Sofedit") a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, is a leading direct supplier of welded subassemblies, body in
white parts, clutch, brake and accelerator pedal modules, fuel tanks and
crossmembers and chassis parts used as original equipment components by
manufacturers in the European automobile industry.
Trianon Industries and its direct and indirect wholly-owned United States
subsidiaries (i.e., Aetna Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Aetna
Holdings"), Aetna Manufacturing Canada Ltd., a Michigan corporation ("Aetna
Canada"), and Aetna Export Sales Corp., a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation
("Export")) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 11 7/8% Senior
Notes due 2006 issued by Aetna in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0
million (the "Senior Notes"). Separate financial statements or other
disclosures relative to Aetna Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada have not
been presented as management has determined that such information is not
material to investors.
On April 14, 1998, Trianon Industries completed a combination with Societe
Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French
societe anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the
Combination, Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding
capital stock of Sofedit to Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i)
promissory notes of Trianon Industries in the principal amount of $40.9
million; (ii) dividends in an amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii)
270,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of
Trianon Industries; (iv) 3.0 million shares of Common Stock of Trianon
Industries, and (v) the assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt
of such former stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a
reverse acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately
75% of the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon Industries as
a result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered
to be the acquirer of, and the predecessor to, Trianon Industries.
As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, the financial statements included herein for the three month
period ended March 31,1998 represent the historical information of Sofedit,
as predecessor. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1999 represents
the consolidated financial position of Sofedit and Trianon Industries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Trianon Industries have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
All adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of
operations for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 represent the three month financial data of Sofedit plus
Trianon Industries. On a pro forma basis, Trianon Industries had net sales
of $189.9 million, and pre-tax income of $3.6 million, for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Aetna Industries, Inc. ("Aetna") is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
Trianon Industries Corp. ("Trianon Industries") and is a wholly-owned
direct subsidiary of Aetna Holdings, Inc. ("Aetna Holdings") and has two
wholly-owned subsidiaries Aetna Export Sales Corp. ("Export") and Aetna
Manufacturing Canada Ltd ("Aetna Canada"). Trianon Industries is a holding
company that was formed for the sole purpose of purchasing Aetna and does
not have any significant operations, other than its investments in its
subsidiaries assets or liabilities, preferred stock and junior
subordinated debentures.
Trianon Industries, Holdings, Export and Canada have fully and
unconditionally guaranteed the 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2006 issued by
Aetna in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 (the "Senior Notes").
Separate financial statements or other disclosures relative to Aetna
Holdings, Export or Aetna Canada have not been presented as management has
determined that such information is not material to investors.
On April 14, 1998, Aetna's parent, Trianon Industries Corp. (Trianon
Industries) completed a combination with Societe Financiere de
Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French societe anonyme
(Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the Combination, Sofedit's
former stockholders transferred the outstanding capital stock of Sofedit to
Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i) promissory notes of Trianon
Industries in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii) dividends in an
amount of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares of Series B
Preferred stock ($27.0 million stated value) of Trianon Industries; (iv)
3.0 million shares of Common Stock of Trianon Industries, and (v) the
assumption of approximately $12.0 million of debt of such former
stockholders. The Combination has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own approximately 75% of
the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon Industries as a
result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is considered
to be the acquirer of, and the predecessor to, Trianon Industries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Aetna have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X
and do not include all the information and notes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All
adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods, have been made. The results of operations for such
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for
a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with Aetna's consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
TRIANON INDUSTRIES
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On April 14, 1998, Trianon Industries completed a combination with Societe
Financiere de Developpement Industriel et Technologique S.A., a French societe
anonyme (Sofedit) (the Combination). In connection with the Combination,
Sofedit's former stockholders transferred the outstanding capital stock of
Sofedit to Trianon Industries in exchange for: (i) promissory notes of Trianon
Industries in the principal amount of $40.9 million; (ii) dividends in an amount
of approximately $1.0 million; (iii) 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock
($27.0 million stated value) of Trianon Industries; (iv) 3.0 million shares of
Common Stock of Trianon Industries, and (v) the assumption of approximately
$12.0 million of debt of such former stockholders. The Combination has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition because the former owners of Sofedit own
approximately 75% of the fully diluted outstanding Common Stock of Trianon
Industries as a result of the Combination. For accounting purposes, Sofedit is
considered to be the acquirer of, and predecessor of Trianon Industries.
As a result of the Combination being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the
statements of operations and cash flows included herein for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 represent the historical information of Sofedit, as
predecessor. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998 represents the consolidated financial position of Sofedit and Trianon
Industries. The statements of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 represent the consolidated three month financial data of
Sofedit and Trianon Industries.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, Trianon Industries's
statement of operations expressed as a percentage of net sales for three months
ended March 31, 1999 and proforma statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. This table and subsequent discussions should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto of Trianon Industries included elsewhere herein.

============= =============
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
NET SALES: Net sales were $218.1 million, up 14.8 % from the $189.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net sales in North America was 25.9%
higher in the first three months in 1999 than 1998. Net sales in Europe were up
10.5% in the first quarter 1999 from 1998, or 6.0% excluding the effects of
foreign exchange. The increase in European sales was due to both a general
growth in the car market and to the launch of the Renault Clio II, Peugeot 20,
and the Mercedes Class S in 1998 which reach full production in 1999.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was $26.2 million, or 12.0% of net sales, for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $24.1 million, or 12.7% of net
sales, for the same period in 1998. In North America, gross profit was $8.1
million for three months ended 1999 and 1998. In Europe, gross profit reached
$18.3 million or 12.1% of net sales, versus $16.1 million or 11.8% of net sales
in 1998. The increase in European gross margin is mainly due to reducing launch
and project costs and to the first effect of cost saving plan implemented at
several production facilities.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
three months ended March 31,1999 were $14.7 million, or 6.8 % of net sales,
compared to $14.5 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the same period in 1998.
Increased costs were due to increased project team activity and the
reinforcement of the current management structure.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$7.3 million, or 3.3% of net sales, compared to $6.1 million, or 3.2% of net
sales in the same period in the prior
17
18
year. The increase in interest expense is due principally to a sharp increase
in tooling inventory relating to two major projects in North America. In
Europe, interest expense was $2.4 million or 1.6% of sales, versus $2.2 million
for the same period in 1998. Excluding the effect of exchange rate
fluctuations, interest expense in Europe raised by 4.7%. The increase is mainly
due to a $7.3 million increase in medium and short term debt.
INCOME TAXES: The income tax for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $2.3
million with an effective tax rate of 52.5% as compared to a provision of $1.0
million with an effective tax rate of 28.5% for the same period in the prior
year. The change in the effective tax rate is mainly due to loss incurred in
North America and to reduced research and development tax credit in France.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Trianon Industries's primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from
operations and short-term and long-term debt, including the sale of receivables.
Trianon Industries's principal use for these funds is to finance working capital
needs, debt payments and planned maintenance and expansion activities. The
Company's liquidity is affected by both the cyclical nature of its business and
its level of net sales. The Company believes that operating cash flow and its
line of bank credit will be sufficient to cover its short-term and long-term
capital expenditures and debt payment obligations. Nevertheless, Trianon
Industries's ability to meet these liquidity demands will depend upon future
operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions
and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond Trianon
Industries's control.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities totaling $19.0 million, compared to $26.1 million at
December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had current assets of
$318.1 million, compared to $377.4 million in current liabilities, giving it
negative working capital of $59.3 million, compared to $80.2 million at
December 31, 1998.
At March 31, 1999, Trianon Industries had $16.5 million available under its
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Aetna, Trianon Industries, Aetna
Holdings, Aetna Export Sales Co., Aetna Canada and NBD Bank (the "Senior
Revolving Credit Facility"). Restricted cash of $10.7 million at March 31, 1999
represents cash held by Sofedit in a mutual fund until June 1999 to warranty
an additional line of credit for Aetna Industries.
On March 31, 1999, short-term debt consisted of $13.0 million of bank overdraft,
$56.7 million of line of credit, $30.9 million bank borrowing, promissory notes
of $40.9 million. Long-term debt consisted of Senior notes of $85.0 million,
long-term bank loans of $60.5 million, leasing contracts of $27.5 million and
junior debt of $9.1 million.
CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million compared to $10.9
million in the same period of the prior year. The principal reason for the
decrease in cash provided by operating activities is attributable to lower net
income, tooling inventory increases, partially offset by increased depreciation
and amortization.
Net cash used for investing activities was $7.5 million and $9.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The change was due
principally to decreased capital expenditures in North America. Capital
expenditures in Europe reached $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 1998.
18
19
Net cash provided by financing was $0.7 million compared to cash provided of
$0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
This change was principally due to an increase in medium term loans in Europe
in 1999.
EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION
Since substantial portions of Trianon Industries's activities are carried out in
Europe, Trianon Industries is actively preparing for the introduction of a
single European currency. After January 1, 1999, Trianon Industries will be
required, upon the request of any party with which it transacts to use the euro
as a currency of payment in its European commercial activities in certain
financial transactions and in dealings with administrative bodies. On the basis
of currently available information, Trianon Industries does not expect that
expenses to be incurred in connection with the introduction of the euro as a
currency of payment for Trianon Industries will have a material adverse effect
on the results of operations or financial position of Trianon Industries.
YEAR 2000
Trianon Industries has conducted a review of its computer systems to identity
those areas that may not be Year 2000 compliant and is developing a plan to
resolve the issue. Trianon Industries believes that by modifying existing
software and obtaining new releases of licensed software, the Year 2000
transition can be carried out without significant operational expenses or
significant investments in computer systems improvements. On the basis of
currently available information, Trianon Industries does not expect that
expenses be incurred in connection with the continuing identification of systems
which are not Year 2000 compliant and with their replacement or upgrade will
have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or financial
position of Trianon Industries. There can be, however, no assurances of the
absence of any disruptions in Trianon Industries's own systems or those of its
customers and suppliers. Trianon Industries considers that sufficient resources
have been dedicated to address these issues in a timely manner.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments. This statement is not expected to have a material effect
on Trianon Industries's financial position or results of operations.
In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 98-5 ("SOP") 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities.
This statement prescribes accounting treatment for start-up activities and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The adoption of
this statement did not have a material effect on Trianon Industries's financial
position or result of operations.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors related to the highly
competitive nature of the automotive supplier industry and its sensitivity to
changes in general economic conditions, the results of financing efforts and
other factors discussed in Aetna's or Trianon Industries's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors could cause Trianon
Industries's actual results during the remainder of 1999 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on
behalf of Aetna or Trianon Industries. There can be no assurance that
additional sources of financing will not be required during the next twelve
months as a result of unanticipated cash demands or opportunities for expansion
or acquisition, changes in growth strategy or adverse operating results. There
can be no assurance that any additional funds required, whether within the next
twelve months or thereafter, will be available to Aetna or Trianon Industries
on satisfactory terms.

============= =============
NET SALES: Net sales for the first quarter of 1999 were $66.8 million, or 25.9%
higher than first quarter 1998 sales of $53.1 million. Production sales of $58.8
million in the first quarter of 1999 were up $6.3 million from $52.5 million in
the first quarter of 1998, due to Daimler Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee and the
Cami Grand Vitara. Tooling and prototype sales were up $ 7.7 million for the
same period.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit was 8.1 million, or 12.1% of net sales, for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $ 8.1 million, or 15.3 % of net sales, for the same
period in 1998. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of higher
tooling sales with little or no associated margin and the loss of higher margin
products such as Daimler Chrysler's mini-van.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES: SG&A expenses for the
first quarter of 1999 were $5.0 million, or 7.4% of net sales, compared to $ 4.5
million, or 8.5% of net sales, for the same period in 1998. As a percent of net
sales, the decrease was a result of launch expense that is no longer being
incurred.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 was $3.8
million, or 5.7% of net sales, compared to $2.9 million or 5.4% of net sales for
the same period in 1998. Interest expense was impacted by higher levels of
short-term debt used to finance the launch of the Saturn and WJ programs, and
other working platform capital requirements.
INCOME TAXES: The income tax credit in the first quarter of 1999 was $0.1
million as compared to income tax of $ 0.2 million for the same period in 1998.
21
22
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Aetna's principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to
meet required debt payments and to complete planned maintenance and expansion
expenditures.
At March 31, 1999 there was $16.5 million available under the Senior Revolving
Credit Facility. Management currently anticipates that its operating cash flow,
together with available borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, capital expenditure
requirements, and interest requirements on debt obligations.
The terms of the indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued
contains certain restrictive covenants which include restrictions on the ability
of Aetna, Aetna Canada and Export from paying dividends or making certain other
payments to Aetna Holdings or Trianon Industries.
CASH FLOWS
Net cash flows provided by (used for) operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 aggregated $6.6 million. This compares to net cash used for
operations of $ 1.8 million for the same period in 1998. The increase is due
primarily to decrease in tooling inventory and increased depreciation and
amortization expenses.
Net cash flows provided by (used for) investing activities aggregated $0.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $3.2 million
for the same period in 1998 and consists principally of capital expenditures.
The major capital projects during 1999 have been the purchase of robots for the
Saturn Innovate launch, equipment to support Aetna's development lab for 3
dimensional remote welding, and the purchase and installation of robots to
support increased volume requirements for the GM rear suspension assembley.
Net cash flows provided by (used for) financing aggregated $7.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $5.3 million for the same
period in the prior year and in both cases represented increases in the Senior
Revolving Credit Facility.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Pursuant to a Consent in Lieu of Special Meeting of the
Stockholders of Trianon which was distributed to its stockholders on December
17, 1998, the Board of Directors proposed an amendment to Tiranon's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to (i) change the name of the corporation from MS
Acquisition Corp. to Trianon Industries Corp., (ii) increase the number of
authorized shares of Trianon's Series A Preferred Stock from 293,123 shares to
405,000 shares and (iii) provide Trianon's Board of Directors the election to
pay dividends accruing on shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in lieu of cash
dividends, in additional shares of Series A Preffered Stock. The amendment is
attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as exhibit 3(i).
The proposal was adopted by the votes indicated (which
constituted the affirmative vote of more than one-half of the shares voting for
each class and series of stock).

ITEM 5. DISCLOSURE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET
RISKS
The financial condition and results of operations of the Company's operating
entities are reported in various foreign currencies (principally Euro and
British pounds sterling) and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable
exchange rate for inclusion in the Company's financial statements. As a result,
an appreciation of the dollar against these foreign currencies will have a
negative impact on the reported sales and operating profit of the Company.
Conversely, depreciation of the dollar against these foreign currencies will
have a positive impact. In addition, the Company incurs currency transaction
risk whenever it or one of its subsidiaries enters into either a purchase or
sale transaction using a different currency than the relevant entity's
functional currency. However, the nature of the Company's business results in
the Company generally matching revenues and expenses of the same currency.
Therefore, the Company does not currently use financial instruments to limit its
exposure to foreign transaction exposure risk. The Company does not currently
use financial instruments to limit its exposure to interest rate variations. The
portion of the company's outstanding debt obligations tied to variable interest
rates totals $125.9 million as of December 31, 1998.
