3. In the first quarter of 1995, Dana recorded a non-operating charge of
approximately $18 (17 cents per share) for its proportionate share of
translation losses incurred by its Mexican affiliate, Spicer S.A. de C.V.,
due to the devaluation of the Mexican peso.
4. In the first quarter of 1995, Dana made a tender offer for all of the
outstanding shares of Hayes-Dana, Inc. that it did not own. At March 31,
1995, Dana had increased its ownership in Hayes-Dana from 57 percent to 83
percent.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
(in Millions)
Capital expenditures supporting Dana's current and long-term growth
amounted to $69 in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $79 in the first
quarter of 1995. Projected capital spending is approximately $330 for 1996, down
from $440 in 1995 and about equal to the $337 spent in 1994.
Dana Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (Dana) supplement
internal cash flow with the issuance of short and long-term debt. Total
consolidated debt as of March 31 was up $71 over year end 1995 debt of $2,107.
Dana, excluding Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), had short-term debt outstanding
of $442 at March 31 against various borrowing lines of $1.4 billion. Up from
$334 at year end 1995, the increase in short-term debt is mainly due to higher
working capital requirements and the maturities of Dana's long-term debt during
the first quarter. DCC had short-term debt outstanding of $449 at March 31
against borrowing lines in excess of $800. DCC's short-term debt decreased $8
from its 1995 year end position of $457. Dana's consolidated long-term debt
decreased to $1,287 at March 31 from $1,315 at year end 1995. Dana's, excluding
DCC's, first quarter long-term debt was $688, down from $714 at December 31,
1995. DCC's long-term debt was $599, about even with year end 1995 debt of
$601.
Dana's management and legal counsel have reviewed the legal proceedings
to which the Company and its subsidiaries were parties as of March 31, 1996
(including, among others, those involving product liability claims and alleged
violations of environmental laws) and concluded that neither the liabilities
that may result from these legal proceedings nor the timing of the cash flows
for these liabilities are likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. The Company
estimates its contingent environmental and product liabilities based upon the
most probable method of remediation or outcome considering currently enacted
laws and regulations and existing technology. Measurement of liabilities is made
on an undiscounted basis and excludes the effects of inflation and other
societal and economic factors. In those cases where there is a range of equally
probable remediation methods or outcomes, the Company accrues at the lower end
of the range, which at March 31, 1996, was $70 for product liability costs
(products) and $54 for environmental liability costs (environmental), compared
to $73 for products and $49 for environmental at December 31, 1995. The
difference between minimum and maximum contingent liabilities, while not
considered material, was $4 for products and $2 for environmental at March 31,
1996, compared to $4 for products and $3 for environmental at December 31, 1995.
Probable recoveries of $42 for products and $14 for environmental from insurance
or third parties have been recorded as assets at March 31, 1996, compared to $43
for products and $10 for environmental at December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------
(in Millions)
The Company is also a defendant in a lawsuit, described in Part II,
Item 1 of this report, brought by the Department of Justice alleging that a
former operation, which was a subsidiary of a company purchased by Dana in 1985,
had overcharged the U.S. government on contracts or subcontracts awarded during
the late 1970s and the 1980s. The complaint, amended in July 1995, sought common
law relief as well as statutory civil penalties and damages in an unspecified
amount. In September 1995, Dana and the Department of Justice settled all claims
relating to 16 government contracts included in the complaint without any
finding of liability or admission of wrongdoing by Dana, and Dana paid the
government $19.5, which included payment for the government's alleged damages,
interest, and costs of investigation and litigation. The Company had previously
reserved for this settlement and the payment did not have a material adverse
effect on its liquidity and financial condition. The Company reached a
tentative agreement with the Department of Justice to settle the remaining
litigation claims. Based on this agreement, the amount of $9.9 ($5.8 after-tax)
was charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 1995. The tentative settlement
is subject to further governmental approvals. Discussions about various issues
relating to the settlement are continuing.
Dana anticipates that net cash flows from operating activities, along
with currently available financing sources, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's funding requirements for 1996.

U.S. OE light truck/sport utility vehicle market increased 4% over an

The Company reported a record first quarter profit of $79, a 33% increase
over 1995 (which included an $18 after tax non-operating charge for translation
losses incurred as a result of the devaluation of the Mexican peso).
Revenue from lease financing and other income increased $16 in the first
quarter 1996. Lease related revenue was up $8, primarily due to higher average
asset levels at DCC. Gains on sales of fixed assets and investments contributed
$5 of the increase.
Dana's gross margin for the first quarter was 15.0%, compared to 15.1% for
1995. The overall margins of U.S. operations increased slightly in 1996, while
those of international operations were lower, principally due to the Company's
operations in South America.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) increased $19 or 12%
in 1996. The increase is primarily due to newly acquired operations, higher DCC
expenses due to increased asset levels, increased costs associated with the
re-engineering of information systems and certain one-time corporate office
charges.
Interest expense increased $5, as the financing of capital expenditures,
lease financing assets, acquisitions and working capital needs resulted in
higher average debt levels.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1996 was 39% compared to
41% in 1995. The U.S. state and local effective rate was lower in 1996, as was
the rate for the Company's Brazilian operations.
Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates increased $17 in 1996, primarily
due to the $18 charge against earnings for the devaluation of the Mexican peso
in 1995.

Results of Operations (First Quarter 1996 vs First Quarter 1995)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
(in Millions)
Production of U.S. light trucks and sport utility vehicles in 1996 are
expected to continue their current trend of performing at close to 1995's
levels. U.S. medium and heavy truck production is anticipated to be below 1995
levels. The U.S. vehicular parts aftermarket is forecast to be slightly
stronger than in 1995. Overall, Dana's U.S. sales for the first half of 1996
are anticipated to be about equal to 1995. International sales are expected to
increase as the Company continues to implement its global growth strategy
through select acquisitions and expansion of its core products worldwide.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are parties to various
pending judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company's management and legal counsel have reviewed the
probable outcome of these proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably
expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the Company's insurance
coverage, and the Company's established reserves for uninsured liabilities.
While the outcome of the pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty,
based on its review, management believes that any liabilities that may result
are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity,
financial condition or results of operations.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain
environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary routine proceedings
incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the
Company's annual and/or quarterly reports. The Company is a party to the
following such proceedings, all of which have been reported previously:
1. IN THE MATTER OF DANA CORPORATION-VICTOR PRODUCTS DIVISION AND BRC
RUBBER GROUP. In an administrative proceeding commenced in 1990, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5 ("USEPA 5") alleged that the
Company's former plant in Churubusco, Indiana (which ceased operations in 1983)
had violated the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") by
failing to submit a closure plan and financial assurances as a RCRA-regulated
storage facility and by failing to notify the subsequent plant owner of the
alleged RCRA status of the storage facility. USEPA 5 sought a RCRA closure of
the storage facility and the recovery of civil penalties of approximately
$132,000. Following settlement negotiations with USEPA 5, the Company paid a
civil penalty of $80,000 in March, 1996, terminating the administrative
proceeding. The Company has proposed a soil sampling plan to determine the
extent of contamination, if any, at the facility, and expects sampling to
commence in the next several months.
2. IN THE MATTER OF DANA CORPORATION, BOSTON WEATHERHEAD DIVISION. In
1994, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 ("USEPA 6")
issued an administrative Complaint, Compliance Order and Notice of Opportunity
for Hearing to the Company in connection with alleged violations of the federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") by the Company's plant in
Vinita, Oklahoma. The alleged violations included, among others, the plant's
failure to manage and maintain hazardous waste containers, tanks and tank
systems in accordance with RCRA requirements and record keeping violations in
connection with the plant's Contingency Plan. In the Compliance Order, USEPA 6
sought civil penalties of $576,640. Following negotiations, the Company and
USEPA 6 reached an agreement to settle this case. Under the agreement, the
Company will pay a civil penalty of $124,550 within the next few months.
As previously reported, the Company is also a defendant in the 1992
lawsuit, UNITED STATES V. DANA CORPORATION. In this suit, the Department of
Justice, on behalf of the United States, sued the Company, Warner Electric Brake
and Clutch Company, Inc.("Warner Electric"), and Beaver Precision Products,
Inc. ("Beaver"), in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan under
the federal False Claims Act and various common law theories. The complaint
alleged overcharging on U.S. government contracts or subcontracts awarded to
Beaver in the late 1970s and the 1980s. In 1995,
11
<PAGE> 12
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. (Continued)
- ------
Dana and the Department of Justice settled all claims relating to 16 government
contracts included in the complaint without any finding of liability or
admission of wrongdoing by Dana, and the Company paid the government $19.5
million, which included payment for the government's alleged damages, interest,
and costs of investigation and litigation. The Company reached a tentative
agreement with the Department of Justice to settle the remaining litigation
claims. Based on this agreement, the amount of $9.9 ($5.8 after-tax) was
charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 1995. The tentative settlement is
subject to further governmental approvals. Discussions about various issues
relating to the settlement are continuing.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES.
- ------
On April 15, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company renewed the
Company's Rights Plan by declaring a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase
Right on each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock, $1 par value, to
be distributed to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 25,
1996. The Rights will replace the Company's currently outstanding Preferred
Share Purchase Rights, which expire on that date.
The Rights will be triggered and exercisable only if a person or group
acquires 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock or announces a tender offer
which, if completed, would result in that person or group owning 15% or more of
the Common Stock.
Each Right will entitle its holder to buy 1/1000th of a share of the
Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, at an
exercise price of $110.
If triggered, the Rights will entitle the holders (except the acquiring
person or group) to buy that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
having a market value of twice the exercise price of the Rights at the time of
the triggering acquisition. In addition, if another company were to merge or
otherwise combine with the Company or purchase 50% or more of the Company's
assets or earning power, then the outstanding Rights would entitle the holders
(except the acquiring company) to buy that number of shares of the acquiring
company's common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the
Rights at the time of the triggering event.
At any time after a person or group acquires 15% or more, but less than
50%, of the Company's Common Stock, the Company's Board may, at its discretion,
exchange each outstanding Right (except those owned by the acquiring person or
group) for either one share of Common Stock or 1/1000th of a share of the Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
The Board may redeem the Rights at the price of $.01 each at any time
before any person or group acquires 15% of the Company's Common Stock.
The Rights will expire on July 25, 2006, if not exercised, exchanged or
redeemed before then.
