(E)   GUARANTEE OF PARENT COMPANY DEBT AND PLEDGE OF ASSETS

On June 3, 1996, the Company became contingently liable for payments of
principal and interest on Senior Secured Discount Notes of Dina due 2002
with an aggregate principal amount of $206,499,680 ("Discount Notes"). It
is intended that all payments with respect to the Discount Notes be paid by
Dina, and that payments be made by the Company only in the event of a
failure to pay by Dina.

The Company's obligation under the Discount Notes is secured by a pledge of
the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Motor Coach Industries
International, Inc. The indenture governing the Discount Notes provides for
certain restrictive covenants with which the Company is currently in
compliance.

The Discount Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 12% through maturity,
on a zero coupon basis through November 15, 1998 and, thereafter, payable
in cash. If, however, the Discount Notes do not achieve minimum debt
ratings by November 15, 1999, the interest rate increases to 15% from such
date through maturity. As of September 30, 1996, the fair value of the
Discount Notes was approximated by their carrying value of $157.8 million.

Charges of $8,130,000 ($5,000,000 after tax) were recorded in the second
quarter to reflect the write off of accounts receivable, increased warranty
costs and other charges related to the Company's discontinued transit
manufacturing segment.

(G)   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 1996, the Company refinanced its bank credit facility. The new
credit facility provides up to $125,000,000 for borrowing purposes, of
which up to $35,000,000 is available for issuance of standby letters of
credit, and contains other terms which are substantially similar to the
refinanced facility. Borrowings are available under the new facility on a
revolving basis through September 30, 1999. As a result of this
refinancing, it is anticipated that the Company's fourth quarter results
will reflect an $850,000 after-tax extraordinary expense for the write off
of debt issuance costs.

In October 1996, the Company purchased certain assets of The Flxible
Corporation ("Flxible") that were being sold through bankruptcy proceedings. 
Flxible is a manufacturer of transit buses and distributor of related 
replacement parts. The assets were purchased for $12.2 million and will be 
utilized for the purpose of becoming the OEM parts distributor for the 
installed fleet of Flxible transit buses.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER 1996 TO THIRD QUARTER 1995

         General. Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were
$127.1 million, an increase of 31.6% from $96.6 million in 1995. The
increase was due to increases in both the coach manufacturing and support
segment and the replacement parts segment. The overall gross margin,
defined as sales less cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization), as a percentage of sales increased to 21.5% compared to 20.7%
for the third quarter of 1995.

         Operating income was $7.6 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $1.4 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable
to increased revenues and the higher gross margin percentage, partially
offset by increased research and development expenses and depreciation and
amortization expenses.

         Net income was $2.6 million, compared to a loss of $1.8 million
for the third quarter of 1995.

         Coach Manufacturing and Support. Coach manufacturing and support
sales (excluding finance income) for the third quarter of 1996 increased
41.0% to $83.9 million, reflecting sales of 249 new units (175 MCIs and 74
Viaggios), compared to $59.5 million for the same period of 1995 which was
driven by sales of 197 new units (151 MCIs and 46 Viaggios). In addition to
the units sold, 9 units in 1996 and 41 units in 1995 were delivered to
customers under operating leases with the Company and, as such, were not
reflected in sales. Taking into account these units, new coach deliveries
increased 8.4% from 238 in 1995 to 258 units in 1996.

         In the third quarter of 1996, the gross margin percentage
increased to 21.2% compared to 19.3% in the third quarter of 1995
reflecting changes in the product mix. Product mix changes included an
increase in 1996 unit sales of higher-margin 45 foot coaches partially
offset by an increase in lower-margin Viaggio unit sales.

         Order backlog as of September 30, 1996 was 563 units, which included 
86 units for Greyhound Lines Inc. ("GLI") compared to 450 units at September 30,
1995, which included 160 units for GLI. The order backlog for customers other 
than GLI of 477 units represented an increase of 64.5% compared to the 290 
unit non-GLI backlog a year ago.

         Replacement Parts. Replacement parts revenues were $40.7 million
in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $35.4 million in 1995. The 15.0%
increase was primarily attributable to sales in the new diesel engine and
school bus product lines, increased sales of remanufactured parts and sales
promotion programs.

         Gross margin percentage decreased to 22.1% in 1996 from 22.9% in
1995. The lower gross margins were primarily due to product mix, including
remanufactured parts which have a lower margin, and discounts granted
through the sales promotion programs.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$3.8 million recorded in 1995. The increase was attributable to an increase
in coaches held for lease and property, plant and equipment additions.

         Research and Development. Research and development expenses
increased to $1.8 million, a $753, 000 increase over the $1.1 million
recorded in 1995. The increased expenditures related to the new tour and
charter coach model to be introduced in 1997.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses remained relatively constant at $14.0 million in
the third quarter of 1996 compared to $14.3 million in 1995. However, SG&A
expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 11.2% from 15.1% in 1995.

         Interest Expense. In the third quarter of 1996, interest expense
decreased slightly to $2.9 million from $3.3 million in 1995. The decrease
reflects a lower average debt balance during the quarter.

         Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rates in the
third quarter of 1996 and 1995, excluding non-deductible goodwill
amortization, were 39.9% and 4.4% respectively. The third quarter rate of
4.4% reflects the small taxable loss incurred and the impact that minor
non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses had on such rate.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO NINE MONTHS 
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

         General. Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996 were $446.9 million, an increase of 21.9% from $366.6 million for
1995. The increase was due to increased revenues in both the coach
manufacturing and support segment and the replacement parts segment. The
overall gross margin, defined as sales less cost of sales (exclusive of
depreciation and amortization), as a percentage of sales was 21.3% compared to
22.9%.

         Operating income was $36.3 million in the first nine months of
1996 compared to $29.8 million in 1995. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased revenues partially offset by the lower gross
margin percentage, increased research and development expenses and
depreciation and amortization expenses.

         Income from continuing operations was $15.1 million, compared to
$10.6 million for the first nine months of 1995. Net income for the first
nine months of 1996 was $10.1 million and included an after-tax loss of
$5.0 million from discontinued operations which resulted from an adjustment
to the estimated loss on the disposal of the transit manufacturing segment.

         Coach Manufacturing and Support. Coach manufacturing and support
sales (excluding finance income) for the first nine months of 1996
increased 24.5% to $320.6 million, reflecting sales of 957 new units (784
MCIs and 173 Viaggios), compared to $257.5 million for the same period of
1995 which was driven by sales of 777 new units (708 MCIs and 69 Viaggios).
In addition to the units sold, 85 units in 1996 and 102 units in 1995 were
delivered to customers who entered into operating leases with the Company
and, as such, were not reflected in sales. Taking into account these units,
new coach deliveries increased 18.5% from 879 units to 1,042 units. The
increase in unit deliveries reflects both continuing customer acceptance of
the Viaggio which was introduced to the US market in March 1995 and
increased deliveries to GLI, which took delivery of 161 units during the
first nine months of 1996 compared to 102 units during the comparable
period for 1995.

         In the first nine months of 1996, the gross margin percentage
decreased to 21.1% compared to 22.9% for the first nine months of 1995. The
margin decline is primarily due to an increase in Viaggios sold, which
sales produced an 8.4% margin in 1996 for the Company, lower-margins
realized on the resale of used units and sales of 75 more lower-margin
MC-12 units in 1996 compared to 1995.

         Replacement Parts. Replacement parts revenues were $120.2 million
in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $104.7 million in 1995. The
14.8% increase was primarily attributable to sales in the new diesel engine
and school bus product lines, increased sales of remanufactured parts and
sales promotion programs ran in 1996.

         Gross margin percentage decreased to 21.9% in 1996 from 23.2% in
1995. The lower gross margins were primarily due to product mix, including
remanufactured parts which have a lower margin, and promotional pricing.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased $2.5 million to $13.3 million in the first nine months
of 1996 compared to 1995. The increase was attributable to an increase in
coaches held for lease and property, plant and equipment additions.

         Research and Development. Research and development expenses
increased to $5.2 million, a $2.7 million increase over the $2.5 million
recorded in 1995 reflecting increased expenditures for the new tour and
charter coach model to be introduced in 1997.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses remained relatively constant at $42.4 million in
the first nine months of 1996 compared to $42.6 million in 1995. As a
percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 9.6% from 11.8% in 1995.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense was unchanged at $9.7 million
in the first nine months of both 1996 and 1995.

         Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rates in the
first nine months of 1996 and 1995, excluding non-deductible goodwill
amortization, were 40.5% and 41.8% respectively. The decrease in rates
reflects a decrease in state tax rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company has historically relied primarily on internally
generated funds and funds available through credit facilities. Working
capital requirements can vary greatly from period to period, depending on
the volume of production, the timing of coach deliveries and, to a lesser
extent, replacement parts, the payment terms offered to customers and the
level of the Company's financing activities. However, the Company believes
that cash flows from operations and the availability of additional
borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable
future.

         Cash flows provided by operating activities were $23.1 million for
the nine months ending September 30, 1996. Operating cash flows were
significantly impacted by the cash used by operating assets and liabilities
of $6.0 million primarily as a result of changes in inventory, accounts
payable and accrued income taxes. Inventory increased $10.9 million as a
result of an increase in Viaggio models held at quarter end and product
line expansion in the parts segment's diesel engine and school bus product
lines. Accounts payable increased primarily due to the increase in
inventories. The decrease in accrued income taxes reflects payments made in
1996 for fourth quarter 1995 taxes relating to foreign dividend withholding
and gain on sale of securities.

         Cash flows used in investing activities of $29.4 million reflects
capital expenditures of $7.2 million and funds invested in assets held for
lease of $27.9 million. Investments in assets held for lease reflects a net
increase of 126 leased coaches (including 84 coaches to GLI) since year
end.

         Cash flows used by financing activities were $19.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 which included $24.0 million in net
payments against the bank credit facility.

         In October 1996, the Company funded a $20.0 million dividend to
Dina through the bank credit facility and the Company anticipates
paying an additional $10.0 million in dividends to Dina before year end.
Also, it is expected that the October 1996 purchase of assets of The
Flxible Corporation for $12.2 million will be funded before year end
through cash generated internally or obtained through the Company's credit
facility.
