Note 4 - Comprehensive Income

         In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"),
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
130 requires that comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that
is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements (although
for interim financial reporting footnote disclosure of comprehensive income is
acceptable). Comprehensive income includes net income and all other nonowner
changes in equity that are not reported in net income.

         The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 in 1998. For the quarters ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, the Company's comprehensive income included net income,
foreign currency translation losses, and minimum pension liability adjustments.
The foreign currency translation losses totaled $331,000 and $1,467,000 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The minimum pension
liability losses totaled $126,000 and zero for the quarters ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. Therefore, total comprehensive income was $9,566,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared with $6,272,000 for the same quarter
of 1997.

Note 8 - Related Party Transactions

         The Company provides for allocable management and administrative
expenses incurred by Dina. In the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, the provision
for such expenses was $250,000 and $500,000, respectively. The amounts accrued
for such expenses were paid at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

         During the first quarters of 1998 and 1997 MCII purchased from Dina, in
the ordinary course of business, $2,789,000 and $1,735,000, respectively, in
goods and services. During the same period, Autobuses purchased from Dina, in
the ordinary course of business, $4,900,000 and $3,400,000, respectively, in
goods and services.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

         The Company's Canadian income tax returns for 1982 through 1992 are
currently under review by Revenue Canada. Authorities have proposed imputing
additional income related to transactions with a U.S. based subsidiary of the
Company. A formal reassessment has been issued by Revenue Canada on the 1985
return. A notice of objection has been filed by the Company for 1985. In the
event of an adverse judgment, the additional income taxes for 1982 through 1992
could amount to $25,000,000 plus interest of approximately $45,000,000 and, in
addition, the Company may be subject to potential reassessments for the years
subsequent to 1992 on the same basis which could result in additional income
taxes and interest. These amounts are all before recoveries of U.S. federal
income taxes which may be available to offset a portion of any additional taxes
paid to Canada as these years are still open for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a
portion of any ultimate liability owed as a result of this issue would be
treated as an adjustment of Dina's purchase price on acquiring the Company,
resulting in an increase of purchase goodwill. (If the ultimate liability was
$70,000,000, then approximately $48,000,000 would be a purchase accounting
adjustment.) Based on its review of current relevant information, including
the advice of outside counsel, the Company is of the opinion that Revenue
Canada's arguments are without merit and that any liability from this matter
will not be material to its financial condition or results of operations.


Note 10 - New Accounting Pronouncements

         Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities", requires that all start-up related costs, including organizational
costs be expensed as incurred and all previous capitalized costs be written off.
SOP 98-5 becomes effective for the Company in 1999, however, the adoption of SOP
98-5 will not have a material impact on the Company, as it is consistent with
the Company's existing accounting policy.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of
intercity coaches and related replacement parts for the North American market.
The Company has achieved a strong market position through enhanced product
design and quality, a used coach business that supports trade-in activity and a
significant replacement parts and service business that supports coaches in the
Company's primary markets, as well as buses used in transit and school bus
transportation.


COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER 1998 TO FIRST QUARTER 1997

         General. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $223.6
million, an increase of 28% from $174.6 million in 1997. Increased revenues were
recorded in all business areas, except replacement parts.

         The overall gross margin for the first quarter of 1998, defined as
sales less cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), as a
percentage of sales decreased to 21.2% compared with 21.4% for the first quarter
of 1997. Most of the decrease occurred at Autobuses where 25% of total sales
occurred in transit buses, which normally have a lower profit margin than do
intercity coaches.

         Operating income was $23.3 million in the first quarter of 1998
compared with $16.6 million in 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to
increased revenues at MCII's coach manufacture operations and MCII's lower
overall selling, general, and administrative expenses.

         Net income was $10.0 million in 1998, compared with $7.7 million in the
first quarter of 1997. This was essentially due to increased operating income.

         MCII. MCII's revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were $200.3
million, an increase of 24% over $161.2 million in the first quarter of 1997.
Coach revenues increased 37% to $151.6 million as new coach sales were 421 units
in the first quarter of 1998, compared with 302 units in the first quarter of
1997 with customer demand continuing to be strong. Replacement parts' revenues
decreased 4% to $48.7 million due to decreased demand from municipal transit bus
operators.

         Gross margin for the first quarter of 1998 increased to 22.2%, compared
with 20.6% in the same quarter of the prior year. Coach margins increased to
23.1%, compared with 21.6% last year and replacement parts margins increased to
19.2%, compared with 18.7%.

         Operating income was $24.7 million for the first quarter of 1998,
compared with $13.8 million in the first quarter of 1997. The improved first
quarter results were due to increased sales volume and better control of costs
and expenses.

         Order backlog for the United States and Canada as of March 31, 1998 was
570 units, compared with 632 units at March 31, 1997.

         Autobuses. Autobuses' revenues in the first quarter of 1998 were $23.2
million, an increase of $9.8 million, or 74%, from $13.4 million in the same
quarter of the prior year. This was caused by an increase in sales in the
domestic Mexican market where 1998 sales included 209 Citus transit buses with
revenues of $6.0 million while 1997 sales contained no sales of this model.
Current quarter sales also included 65 intercity coach sales in Mexico, compared
with 61 units in 1997. Sales of Autobuses' Viaggios in the United States were 20
units in 1998, compared with 35 units in 1997.




                                       9
<PAGE>   12
         Gross margin for the first quarter of 1998 decreased to 12.8%, compared
with 30.5% in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in Mexican sales occurred
largely among less profitable products.

         There was an operating loss of $1.4 million for the first quarter of
1998, compared with operating income of $2.8 million in the first quarter of
1997. The first quarter 1998 results were due mainly to increased selling,
general, and administrative expenses that reached $4.1 million in the first
quarter of 1998, compared with $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1997.

         At March 31, 1998, Autobuses' backlog of intercity coaches was 642, of
which 412 were for the domestic Mexican market and 230 were for the export
market. At March 31, 1997, Autobuses' backlog of intercity coaches was 618, of
which 278 were for the domestic Mexican market and 340 were for the export
market.

         Interest Expense. In the first quarter of 1998, net interest expense
was $4.7 million, compared with $5.0 million in 1997.

         Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rates in the first
quarter of 1998 and 1997 were 43.7% and 38.2% respectively. The Company
experiences a generally high effective tax rate due to the amortization expense
of nondeductible goodwill. The increased effective tax rate in 1998 was
primarily due to lower earnings in Mexico.
