                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared by Dura Automotive Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit,
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. The information furnished in the condensed consolidated
     financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all
     adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
     presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although the
     Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
     presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual
     Report to Stockholders.

     Revenues and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,
     1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year.

3.   On June 17, 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 3,100,000
     shares of its Class A common stock at an offering price of $32.75 per share
     ("Offering"). Net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts and
     offering expenses, were approximately $95.0 million. Proceeds from the
     Offering were used to retire outstanding indebtedness. Certain stockholders
     of the Company converted 1,308,000 shares of Class B common stock of the
     Company into Class A stock and sold such Class A stock concurrent with the
     Offering. In addition, an employee of the Company exercised an option to
     acquire 5,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $14.50
     per share, and sold such Class A shares concurrent with the Offering. On
     July 1, 1998 the underwriters, pursuant to their over-allotment option,
     purchased an additional 400,000 Class A shares resulting in additional net
     proceeds of approximately $12.4 million to the Company.

4.   Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding
     during the periods. Diluted earnings per share include (i) the effects of
     outstanding stock options using the treasury stock

5.   In May 1997, the Company acquired the automotive parking brake business
     from Excel Industries, Inc. for approximately $2.9 million. The acquisition
     increased the Company's penetration of the parking brake market and
     expanded the Company's relationship with Chrysler. The pro forma effects of
     this transaction are not material to the Company's results of operations
     for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     In August 1997, the Company acquired GT Automotive Systems, Inc. ("GT
     Automotive"), for approximately $45.0 million in cash and assumed
     indebtedness, plus contingent payments. GT Automotive designs and
     manufactures column-mounted shifter systems and turn signal and tilt lever
     assemblies for North American OEMs. The acquisition of GT Automotive,
     combined with the Company's existing position in console-based shifter
     systems, increased the Company's share of the North American shifter
     market. In addition, the acquisition added Nissan as a customer.

     In December 1997, the Company purchased approximately 19% of the
     outstanding common stock of Thixotech Inc. ("Thixotech") for approximately
     $0.5 million. The Company also loaned Thixotech an additional $2.8 million
     pursuant to notes which are convertible into additional common stock of
     Thixotech at the Company's option. If exercised, the Company could own a
     majority of Thixotech. Thixotech is currently pursuing the development of
     an alternative manufacturing technology for component parts.

     In December 1997, the Company acquired REOM Industries (Aust) Pty Ltd.
     ("REOM"), an Australian designer and manufacturer of jacks and parking
     brakes, for approximately $3.7


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     million. The acquisition added market penetration in parking brakes, added
     a new product (jacks) and established a presence in the Pacific Rim. The
     pro forma effects of this transaction are not material to the Company's
     results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.

     In March 1998, the Company acquired Universal Tool & Stamping Co., Inc.
     ("Universal"), a manufacturer of jacks for the North American automotive
     industry, for approximately $18.0 million. The acquisition provided the
     Company with a market presence for jacks in North America and added Honda
     as a significant new customer.

     In April 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests
     of Trident Automotive plc ("Trident"). Trident had revenues of
     approximately $300 million in 1997, of which 69 percent was derived from
     sales of cable assemblies, principally to the automotive OEM market, and
     the balance from door handle assemblies, lighting and other products.
     Approximately 68 percent of Trident's revenues were generated in North
     America, 27 percent in Europe and the remainder in Latin America. Trident's
     operations are headquartered in Michigan with manufacturing and technical
     facilities in Michigan, Tennessee, Arkansas, Canada, the United Kingdom,
     Germany, France and Brazil. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the
     Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Trident for
     total consideration of $87.5 million in cash. In addition, the Company
     assumed $75 million of Trident's outstanding 10% Senior Subordinated Notes
     due 2005. The Company also repaid Trident's outstanding senior indebtedness
     of approximately $53 million. The acquisition of Trident was financed with
     borrowings under a new credit facility which is further described in Note
     6.

     The acquisitions of GT Automotive, REOM, Universal and Trident have been
     accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
     assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at fair value as
     of the dates of acquisition, with the excess purchase price recorded as
     goodwill. The assets and liabilities have been recorded based upon
     preliminary estimates of fair value. The Company is further evaluating the
     fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result,
     the final evaluation will likely result in adjustments to the preliminary
     allocations which may result in changes to goodwill.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for
     the six months ended June 30, 1998 give effect to the acquisitions of
     Universal and Trident, the Offering and the offering of the Convertible
     Trust Preferred Securities, which is further described in Note 7, as if
     such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period and exclude
     the effects of the extraordinary loss. The following unaudited pro forma
     results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 give effect to
     the transactions described above and the acquisition of GT Automotive as if
     such transactions had been completed at the beginning of the period. The
     1998 results of operations of Trident for the period prior to its
     acquisition date, which are included in the unaudited pro forma financial
     information, reflect pretax charges of approximately $3.6 million relating
     to the recognition of obligations to certain Trident customers. The
     unaudited pro forma information does not purport to represent what the
     Company's results of operations would actually have been if such
     transactions in fact had

     On April 30, 1998 in connection with the acquisition of Trident, the
     Company entered into a new $402.5 million credit agreement ("Credit
     Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provided for revolving credit facilities
     of $225 million, term loans of $100 million, an acquisition facility of $30
     million and a twelve month interim loan of $47.5 million. Proceeds from the
     Offering were partially used to retire the interim loan and $3.6 million of
     the term loans. The Credit Agreement has a term of five years and
     borrowings bear interest at the lenders reference rate or the Eurocurrency
     rate. The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Credit
     Agreement ranged from 6.875% to 8.625% as of June 30, 1998. The Credit
     Agreement contains various restrictive covenants which limit indebtedness,
     investments, rental obligations and cash dividends. The Credit Agreement
     also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios including
     minimum liquidity and interest coverage. The Company was in compliance with
     the covenants as of June 30, 1998. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement
     are collateralized by the assets of the Company.

     The Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability to denominate a
     portion of its revolving credit borrowings in foreign currencies up to an
     amount equal to $100.0 million. As of June 30, 1998, $93.5 million of
     borrowings were denominated in US dollars, $5.5 million of borrowings were
     denominated in Canadian dollars, $2.0 million of borrowings were
     denominated in Australian dollars, $3.9 million of borrowings were
     denominated in Deutsche Marks, and $1.3 million in British pound sterling.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     In connection with the termination of the Company's former credit facility,
     the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs of approximately $643,000,
     net of income taxes. This charge is reflected as an extraordinary item in
     the accompanying statement of operations.

     In December 1997, Trident issued $75 million aggregate principal amount
     senior subordinated notes. The notes bear interest at 10%, payable
     semiannually, and are due in December 2005.

7.   On March 20, 1998, Dura Automotive Systems Capital Trust (the "Issuer"), a
     wholly owned statutory business trust of the Company, completed the
     offering of $55.3 million of its 7 1/2% Convertible Trust Preferred
     Securities ("Preferred Securities"), resulting in net proceeds to the
     Company of approximately $52.6 million. The Preferred Securities are
     redeemable, in whole or part, on or after March 31, 2001 and all Preferred
     Securities must be redeemed no later than March 31, 2028. The Preferred
     Securities are convertible, at the option of the holder into Class A common
     stock of the Company at a rate of 0.5831 shares of Class A common stock for
     each Preferred Security, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $42
     7/8 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay
     outstanding indebtedness. Dividends on the Preferred Securities, net of the
     related income tax benefit, are reflected as minority interest in the
     accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     No separate financial statements of the Issuer have been included herein.
     The Company does not consider that such financial statements would be
     material to holders of Preferred Securities because (i) all of the voting
     securities of the Issuer are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company,
     a reporting company under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Issuer has no
     independent operations and exists for the sole purpose of issuing
     securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
     Issuer and investing the proceeds thereof in 7 1/2% Convertible
     Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2028 issued by the Company and (iii)
     the obligations of the Issuer under the Preferred Securities are fully and
     unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

8.   Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income." This statement established standards for reporting
     and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive
     income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
     period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
     sources. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income
     adjusted for foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income
     was approximately $3.3 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended
     June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively and approximately $7.4 million for
     each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

9.   During February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
     issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
     Postretirement Benefits," effective for fiscal years beginning after
     December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revises certain of the disclosure
     requirements, but does not change the measurement or recognition of those
     plans. SFAS No. 132 superceded SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
     Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The adoption of SFAS No. 132
     will result in


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     revised and additional disclosures, but will have no effect on the
     financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

     The FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
     Hedging Activities" effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS
     No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
     derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
     other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
     liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in
     the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless
     specific hedge criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
     allow a derivative's gains or losses to offset related results on the
     hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company must
     formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions
     that receive hedge accounting. The Company has not yet quantified the
     impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 and has not yet determined the timing of
     adoption.
