    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
    --------------------------
This press release may contain statements that, to the extent that they are not
recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements
may include financial and other projections, as well as statements regarding
our future plans, objectives or economic performance, or the assumptions under-
lying any of the foregoing. We use words such as "may", "would", "could",
"will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "plan",
"forecast", "project", "estimate" and similar expressions to identify forward-
looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are based on assump-
tions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception
of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments,
as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.
However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our
expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks, assumptions
and uncertainties, including, without limitation: the potential for an
extended global recession, including its impact on our liquidity; the
persistence of low production volumes and sales levels; restructuring
of the global automotive industry and the impact on the financial condition
and credit worthiness of some of our OEM customers, including the potential
that such customers may not make, or may seek to delay or reduce, payments
owed to us; the financial distress of some of our suppliers and the risk of
their insolvency, bankruptcy or financial restructuring; restructuring and/or
downsizing costs related to the rationalization of some of our operations;
impairment charges; shifts in technology; our ability to successfully grow our
sales to non-traditional customers; a reduction in the production volumes of
certain vehicles, such as certain light trucks; our dependence on outsourcing
by our customers; risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including
Russia, India and China; our ability to quickly shift our manufacturing foot-
print to take advantage of lower cost manufacturing opportunities; the termin-
ation or non-renewal by our customers of any material contracts; fluctuations
in relative currency values; our ability to successfully identify, complete
and integrate acquisitions; the continued exertion of pricing pressures by
our customers and our ability to offset price concessions demanded by our
customers; the impact of government financial intervention in the automotive
ndustry; disruptions in the capital and credit markets; warranty and recall
costs; product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage; changes
in our mix of earnings between jurisdictions with lower tax rates and those
with higher tax rates, as well as our ability to fully benefit tax losses;
other potential tax exposures; legal claims against us; work stoppages and
labour relations disputes; changes in laws and governmental regulations;
costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations;
potential conflicts of interest involving our indirect controlling share-
holder, the Stronach Trust; and other factors set out in our Annual Informa-
tion Form filed with securities commissions in Canada and our annual report
on Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,
and subsequent filings. In evaluating forward-looking statements, readers
should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-
looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws,
we do not intend, nor do we undertake any obligation, to update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent information, events, results
or circumstances or otherwise.
