NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As previously reported, on May 11, 2009, Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of the demands that the bankruptcy filings have placed on the time and attention of the Company’s management, including negotiating and obtaining debtor-in-possession financing, the Company has been unable to complete the work necessary to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009 (the “Form 10-Q”), within the prescribed period without unreasonable effort or expense. [The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.]

PART IV
OTHER INFORMATION

(1)

Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification


(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of		þ Yes		o No


1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?	þ Yes	o No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company anticipates that its results of operations to be included in the Form 10-Q will include significant changes from the results of operations reported for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008. Any expected results noted for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 are not final and are subject to revision prior to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-Q.

Total sales for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009, are expected to be approximately $258 million, a decrease of approximately 55% from the corresponding fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008. The reduction in sales was primarily the result of substantially lower production volumes at North American and European vehicle manufacturers, which have been negatively affected by the global recession and troubled capital and credit markets. As a result of the unprecedented decline in volumes, the Company expects a slight gross loss for the fiscal quarter, compared to a gross profit of $63.7 million in the corresponding fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008. In addition, net losses are expected be significantly worse than the net loss of $12.8 million in the corresponding fiscal quarter in the prior year.
