1. In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to a fair
presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods have been
included. Where appropriate, we have reclassified certain amounts in
1999 to conform to the 2000 presentation.
2. In January 2000, we acquired the cardan-jointed propeller shaft
business of GKN plc. This acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and its results of operations have been included since the
date of acquisition. Goodwill relating to the acquisition is included
in investments and other assets.
3. In January 2000, we sold the Gresen Hydraulics businesses in the United
States (U.S.) and South America to Parker-Hannifin. We also sold
certain portions of our constant velocity joint businesses to GKN plc.
In February, we sold most of the global Warner Electric businesses to
Colfax Corporation and, in March, we sold Commercial Vehicle Cab
Systems Group to an affiliate of Hidden Creek Industries, Inc. Other
income during the first quarter of 2000 included an aggregate pre-tax
gain of $167 realized on total proceeds from these divestitures of
$524; the after-tax gain approximated $97.
4. Following is a reconciliation of average shares for purposes of
calculating basic and diluted net income per share.

The $59 deferred translation loss for the six months of 2000 results
from an increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the
British pound, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Canadian dollar and
the Mexican peso. The $199 deferred translation loss for the six months
of 1999 is primarily due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real and
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several European
currencies.
6. We are organized into seven Strategic Business Units (SBUs)
encompassing our key markets: Automotive Systems Group (ASG),
Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG), Heavy Truck Group (HTG), Engine
Systems Group (ESG), Fluid Systems Group (FSG), Off-Highway Systems
Group (OHSG) and Dana Commercial Credit (DCC). Management evaluates the
operating segments and regions as if DCC were accounted for on the
equity method of accounting rather than on the fully consolidated basis
used for external reporting. With the exception of DCC, operating
profit after tax (PAT) represents earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT), tax effected at 39% (Dana's estimated long-term effective
rate), plus equity in earnings of affiliates. The "Other" category
includes discontinued businesses, trailing liabilities for closed
plants, SBU and regional administrative expenses, interest expense net
of interest income, corporate expenses and the adjustment to reflect
the actual effective tax rate. In arriving at net profit from operating
PAT, expenses relating to a specific SBU or region are allocated
directly. Other allocations are based on sales. Information used to
evaluate the SBUs and regions is as follows:

7. In the first six months of 2000, we continued our restructuring and
integration efforts, including the consolidation of our distribution
assets in North America. In connection with these efforts, we charged
$14 against accrued restructuring, accrued an additional $2 for
employee termination benefits and incurred $32 of integration expenses.
This $34 of restructuring and integration expense had a $22 impact on
net income.
At June 30, 2000, $92 of restructuring charges remained in accrued
liabilities. This balance was comprised of $84 for the reduction of
approximately 1,870 employees planned for the balance of 2000 and $8
for lease terminations and other exit costs. The estimated cash
expenditures will be approximately $37 in the remainder of 2000, $38 in
2001 and $17 thereafter.
8. In April 1999, the Board authorized the expenditure of up to $350 to
repurchase shares of our common stock. Through the end of 1999, we had
repurchased nearly 3 million shares at an aggregate cost of $100. In
February 2000, the Board authorized an additional $250 for purchases
through the end of 2000. As of the end of June 2000, a total of $420
(out of the $600 authorized) had been expended and slightly more than
15,946,000 shares had been repurchased.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
(in millions except per share amounts)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Income from operations (net income of $390 less net nonrecurring income
of $75) declined nearly $47 in the first half of this year versus 1999;
depreciation and amortization expense were basically unchanged. On the positive
side, increased working capital in the first six months of 2000 was only $126
versus an increase of $384 in the same period last year. While our focus on
reducing working capital has produced positive results, the most significant
factor underlying the change in 1999 was the February 1999 termination of a $200
accounts receivable financing program that had been maintained by the former
Echlin Inc.

Net cash used in investing activities through June 30, 2000 of $83
represents a reduction of $444 over the same period in 1999. The proceeds from
divestitures, net of acquisitions, accounted for $325 of the reduction, while
leasing and loan activities changed $135 for a $99 net cash inflow.

2000 680 * 334

* Projected
----------------------------------------------------------
Capital expenditures were $67 lower than in the first six months of
1999. This decline was due in part to higher spending in 1999 for enterprise
computer systems and Y2K issues. We currently expect capital spending for 2000
to be nearly $130 below the 1999 level.
Common stock repurchases in the amount of $320 were the primary reason
financing activities utilized cash of $172 during the first six months of 2000.
The repurchases utilized the balance of the $350 program authorized by the Board
in April 1999 and $70 of the additional $250 authorized by the Board in February
2000. In the first half of 1999 financing activities provided $367 in cash,
primarily as a result of the issuance of $1,000 of notes less the repayment of
short-term and long-term debt. Net proceeds from debt in the first half of 2000
were slightly more than $240.
Cash dividends paid thus far in 2000 total $96 compared to $103 paid in
the first two quarters of last year. The decrease corresponds with the lower
number of shares outstanding as the quarterly dividend rate of $.31 per share is
unchanged.
Committed and uncommitted bank lines enable us to issue commercial
paper and make direct bank borrowings. Excluding DCC, we had committed and
uncommitted borrowing lines of credit totaling $1,707 at the end of the second
quarter of 2000, while DCC's credit lines totaled $790. Based on our budgeting
process, we expect our cash flows from operations and divestitures, combined
with these credit facilities, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our
currently anticipated debt service obligations and projected working capital
requirements, capital spending, potential acquisitions and share repurchase
program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
We have reviewed the liabilities that may result from the legal
proceedings (including those involving product liability claims and alleged
violations of environmental laws) to which we were a party as of June 30, 2000.
We do not believe that these liabilities or the related cash flows are
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial
condition or results of operations. Contingent environmental and product
liabilities were estimated based on the most probable method of remediation or
outcome, current laws and regulations and existing technology. Estimates were
made on an undiscounted basis and exclude the effects of inflation. If there was
a range of equally probable remediation methods or outcomes, we accrued at the
lower end of the range.
At June 30, 2000:
- $77 was accrued for contingent product liability costs and $42
for contingent environmental liability costs, compared to $96 and
$45 at December 31, 1999
- $49 was recorded (as assets) for probable recoveries from
insurance or third parties for product liability claims and zero
for environmental liability claims, compared to $65 and $1 at
December 31, 1999
- The difference between the minimum and maximum estimates for
contingent liabilities, while not considered material, was $12
for the product liability claims and $3 for the environmental
liability claims, identical to the ranges at December 31, 1999
Restructuring and Integration Expenses
--------------------------------------
At December 31, 1999 there was $104 remaining in accrued liabilities
relating to restructuring plans announced in 1997, 1998 and 1999. During the
first six months of 2000, we continued our restructuring and integration
efforts, including the consolidation of our distribution assets in North
America.
The following summarizes the restructuring and integration activity
recorded in the first six months of 2000 and the change in the accrual:

and other exit costs. The estimated cash expenditures will be approximately $37

liquidity and cash flows to be materially impacted by these actions.

Impact of Euro Conversion
-------------------------
We have a euro currency program for our European facilities. We believe
that all of our facilities are capable of complying with our euro conversion
timetable and with customer requirements for quoting and billing in euro
currency. Certain of our European locations have converted and all indications
are that the cost to convert the remaining locations to the euro will not be
material.
Results of Operations (Second Quarter 2000 vs Second Quarter 1999)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Worldwide sales decreased $122 in the second quarter of 2000 to $3,286,
a 4% decline when compared to the second quarter of 1999. Excluding the net
effect of acquisitions and divestitures, sales increased $23 or less than 1%
during the quarter with price changes having a minimal effect. Our U.S. sales
declined $142 or 6% versus 1999. Excluding the net effect of acquisitions and
divestitures, U.S. sales were down $16 or less than 1%.
Overall sales outside the U.S. rose $20 but improved by $40 when the
net effect of acquisitions and divestitures is excluded. Changes in foreign
currency exchange rates since the second quarter of 1999 prevented further
improvement, especially in Europe where strengthening of the dollar adversely
affected sales by nearly $52 for the quarter. Hardest hit were Germany ($17),
Italy ($10) and France ($7). In South America, weakening of the Brazilian real
accounted for most of the $7 regional impact.
Sales by region for the second quarter are as follows.

Sales in North America were down $145 or 5% for the quarter, with
divestitures accounting for all but $20 of the change. The Canadian and Mexican
currencies generally stayed even with the U.S. dollar in the second quarter,
giving back only $1 of the positive effect realized in the first three months of
the year. European sales improved in local currency, boosted by the net effect
of acquisitions and divestitures, but conversion to U.S. dollars pared $52 for a
net increase of only $8. South American sales were down 3%; however, net of the
effect of divestitures they increased 17%. Adding back the $7 adverse
currency effect, the improvement rose to 23%. While not yet enjoying a
significant economic recovery, some of our operations in that region continue to
show signs of improvement. Sales in the Asia Pacific region rose $20 in the
quarter. Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, sales in the region increased
54% due mainly to new modular business in Australia.

Results of Operations (Second Quarter 2000 vs Second Quarter 1999)
------------------------------------------------------------------
We are organized into seven Strategic Business Units (SBUs)
encompassing our key markets: Automotive Systems Group (ASG), Automotive
Aftermarket Group (AAG), Heavy Truck Group (HTG), Engine Systems Group (ESG),
Fluid Systems Group (FSG), Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) and Dana Commercial
Credit (DCC). "Other" represents closed and sold facilities or locations where
the operating responsibility has not been assigned to a specific SBU.
Sales by segment for the second quarter are shown in the following
table.

Fluid Systems Group 327 315 (4) (3)
Off-Highway Systems Group 214 188 (12) 1
Other 100 12 (88)
ASG, which manufactures axles, driveshafts, structural components,
modules and chassis systems, increased its sales by $91 or 8% in the first
quarter. Modular and axle sales remained strong in Asia Pacific where sales
increased $31 or 76%. The $41 effect of the GKN acquisition helped offset the
impact of a weakening euro as Europe showed a $47 or 43% increase. The North
American operations showed a $22 or 2% increase mainly on the strength of
driveshafts and structural products. Sales in South America declined $9 but
gained $14 or 23% after excluding the effect of divestitures.
AAG, which is primarily responsible for the distribution side of the
automotive business, had a difficult quarter. North American sales, which
comprise over 80% of this SBU, were down $52 or 8% while sales in Europe
declined $7 or 7%, due in part to market softness and currency issues. South
America registered the only regional gain within AAG as sales increased a modest
$3.
HTG sells heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components, power
take-offs, trailer products and heavy systems modular assemblies. Sales for the
second quarter of $451 were nearly 7% below last year's level with all but $2
attributable to divestitures. North American sales were generally flat, after
giving effect to a divestiture, as increased medium truck volume offset a sudden
decline in orders from heavy truck manufacturers.

ESG sells gaskets and other sealing products and engine parts, such as
piston rings, bearings, liners and camshafts. This segment realized a sales
increase of $5 over the comparable period in 1999. Sales improvement was
primarily in the U.S. with strength in sealing, cam covers and cruise control
systems being most notable. Sales were generally flat in South America and
slipped 4% in Europe.
FSG, which manufactures an extensive line of rubber hose, fluid
products and fluid management systems, experienced a sales decrease of $12 or
nearly 4% in the second quarter. Divestiture and currency impacts account for
slightly more than half of the decline. Sales were flat in all regions except
North America.
OHSG, which sells off-highway axles, powershift transmissions,
transaxles, torque converters and electronic controls, registered a quarterly
sales decline of $26 or 12% versus 1999. The segment realized organic growth of
6%, but the combination of the Gresen divestiture, which affected North America
and South America, and $11 of currency devaluation in Europe more than offset
that growth.
Sales in the "Other" category were down compared to 1999 due to the
sale of most of the Warner Electric businesses at the end of February 2000.
Revenue from lease financing and other income increased $9 in the
second quarter of 2000. Lease financing income in 2000 increased $5 versus 1999,
but this improvement was partly offset by a $3 adverse swing in the net foreign
currency transaction gains and losses. Other income in 1999 included $5 of
expenses recorded at a Warner unit, which since has been divested.
Gross margin for the second quarter was 15.9%, compared to 17.9% in
1999. ASG margins continued to be affected by operating inefficiencies, overtime
premiums and material shortages resulting from high sales demand in North
America. ESG recovered from similar inefficiencies experienced in the first
quarter to hold even with the 1999 margin. AAG's margin percent dropped nearly
eleven percentage points due to delays in getting its Engine Control Division's
new warehouses fully operational. These delays have made it necessary to keep
open facilities that were scheduled to be closed, resulting in additional
facility and labor costs without a corresponding increase in sales, as well as
increased inventories due to supply chain and order fulfillment problems.
Various corrective actions are being taken. Further delays in warehouse
consolidation and costs of the corrective measures, including inventory
reduction programs, could adversely affect the AAG's profitability in the second
half of 2000. Adding to these problems were currency fluctuations in Europe. A
substantial reduction in sales to Rover, Inc. created absorption problems in
Europe for FSG, contributing to a 1.7 percentage point decline in that SBU's
gross margin percent. HTG dropped 1.3 percentage point as a result of the
reduction in the heavy truck build schedules of the major original equipment
manufacturers. Asia Pacific showed the largest decline in gross margin percent
as a result of start up expenses on several projects. North America declined 3
percentage points primarily as a result of the aftermarket issues outlined
above. Europe dropped 1.7 percentage point as further strengthening of the U.S.
dollar reduced gross margin by $9. South America held its gross margin percent
even with 1999 after adjusting to the reduced production levels resulting from
the economic downturn that began early last year.

Results of Operations (Second Quarter 2000 vs Second Quarter 1999)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined $13 in the
second quarter of 2000. Acquisitions and divestitures represented a net
reduction of $17. This reduction was partially offset by the increase of $6 at
the AAG as the impact of inefficiencies more than offset the reduction due to
divestitures. ASG was up $6 due to acquisition impact and DCC increased $3. HTG
and OHSG experienced modest declines due to divestitures while FSG and ESG,
combined, increased $3. On a regional basis, only North America increased its
SG&A, adding $8 or 5%; all other regions experienced decreases in absolute
dollars, with currency fluctuations contributing a $6 reduction. The overall
ratio of SG&A expense to sales decreased less than 10 basis points.
Operating margin for the second quarter of 2000 was 7.5% compared to
9.4% for the same period in 1999 for the above reasons.
Interest expense was $11 higher than last year due to higher average
debt levels and an overall increase in interest rates of about 30 basis points
over 1999.
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2000 was 35% compared
to 36% in 1999. We continue to realize state tax credits related to business
development in several states.
Equity in earnings of affiliates was $6 higher in 2000, reflecting
increases in Mexico and at DCC being partially offset by lower profit in
Venezuela.
Minority interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries was even
with last year. The sale of 16% of the Brazilian constant velocity joint
business held by Albarus resulted in the elimination of the related minority
interest, an effect that was partly offset by an increase in Taiwan.
We reported second quarter earnings in 2000 of $145. This total
includes $154 of operating income and $9 of net nonrecurring expense related to
our restructuring and integration activities. In 1999 we reported earnings of
$190 and operating income of $195 with $5 of net nonrecurring expense, also
related to our restructuring and integration activities. As discussed above, the
major cause of the reduction in operating income was due to the softness in the
automotive aftermarket in North America and the systems complications we have
encountered in consolidating AAG's Engine Controls warehouse network. These
factors contributed to AAG's operating profit decline of $29 for the period.

Results of Operations (Six Months 2000 vs. Six Months 1999)
-----------------------------------------------------------
During the last six months of 1999 and first six months of 2000, we
made seven divestitures and three acquisitions. The net effect was to reduce
sales for the first six months of 2000 by $189 and net income by $6.
Sales by region for the first six months were as follows:
% CHANGE EXCLUDING
ACQUISITIONS &
1999 2000 % CHANGE DIVESTITURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
North America $5,302 $5,253 (1) 2
Europe 1,088 1,061 (2) (6)
South America 277 269 (3) 13
Asia Pacific 121 162 34 51
Sales from ongoing operations in North America increased $126; however,
acquisitions net of divestitures reduced sales by $175 resulting in a net
decrease in sales of $49. The light truck and SUV markets remained strong, as
did the medium truck market. The heavy truck market was strong until the latter
part of the second quarter when heavy truck manufacturers build rates were
substantially reduced. Weakness in the aftermarket resulted in a $30 drop in
sales on a comparative basis; divestitures accounted for another $25.
Sales in Europe were down $27 as organic growth and a $40 benefit from
acquisitions net of divestitures were overwhelmed by a $111 adverse currency
impact. Hardest hit were Germany and Italy.
The $8 decline in sales in South America was substantially less than
the $38 lost through divestitures. Sales increases in our modular business may
be an indication that the economic situation in the region is stabilizing. The
sales increase in the Asia Pacific region was primarily due to the new modular
product sales in Australia.
Sales by segment for the first six months are shown in the following
table.

Results of Operations (Six Months 2000 vs Six Months 1999)
----------------------------------------------------------
ASG sales increased 9% in the first half of 2000 with the net effect of
acquisitions contributing less than 2% of the improvement. North America
benefited from continuing strong demand for light trucks and SUVs. Total ASG
North American sales, which are nearly 80% of this segment's sales, increased 5%
over 1999 with no acquisition/divestiture impact. The newly acquired driveshaft
operations helped this SBU achieve a 24% year on year growth rate in Europe
despite $32 of adverse currency effects. Asia Pacific also demonstrated
significant growth as a result of its new modular business in Australia,
improving $60 or 78% in the period. The effect of divesting the South American
driveshaft operations was partly offset by an increase in modular sales,
resulting in an 8% decline.
AAG sales declined 4% and 15% in North America and Europe,
respectively, the two regions that comprise 95% of its sales. The divestiture of
Sierra International, Inc. near the end of 1999 was responsible for nearly half
of the decline in North American sales while weakening of the euro and British
pound accounted for $17 of the drop in Europe.
HTG sales for the six-month period were flat overall. A decrease in
sales of $36 due to divestitures was generally offset by increased sales in
North America as demand for heavy and medium trucks remained strong until the
end of the second quarter.
ESG showed a 3% increase in sales in the first half of 2000 versus the
comparable 1999 period. North American sales benefited from a strong performance
from Glacier Vandervell, ending the period 7% ahead of last year. In Europe, the
adverse currency impact of $25 more than offset the $16 improvement lead by
Glacier Vandervell Europe. Sealing and engine product sales improvement helped
South America register a modest increase of $2.
FSG sales dropped $14 in the first half of 2000 with $4 of the change
resulting from a divestiture in North America. In Europe, modest growth of $5
was more than offset by $7 of adverse currency effects. Sales were down $2 in
South America and flat in Asia Pacific.
OHSG's ongoing sales in North America were $12 above last year. The
divestiture of the Gresen operations in January 2000 affected the year on year
comparison by $40, resulting in a 14% decline for the region. European sales
also experienced organic growth; however, negative currency impacts of $24 left
the region with an overall 6% decrease.
The decline in "Other" sales is attributable to the divestiture of the
Warner Electric businesses in February 2000.
Operating margin for the six-month period was 7.6% compared to 8.7% in
1999. HTG, ESG and OHSG all reported improved margins compared to 1999. FSG had
a reduction in margins of three tenths of a percent and ASG's operating margin
decreased a little over 1% due to capacity issues that have resulted in
increased costs of premium freight and overtime at some of their locations. The
AAG margin has declined more than 3% for the reasons previously discussed under
"Results of Operations (Second Quarter 2000 vs Second Quarter 1999)."

Results of Operations (Six Months 2000 vs Six Months 1999)
----------------------------------------------------------
(in Millions)
Interest expense increased $20 over the first half of 1999 due to the
combined effect of higher debt levels at DCC and an increase in interest rates.
The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2000 was 37% compared
to 36% in 1999. The effective rate was higher due to a decrease in tax credits
generated by DCC.
Equity in earnings of affiliates edged higher by $1 in 2000 as the
increase in equity earnings of DCC investments was slightly higher than the
impact of lower profits from an affiliate in Venezuela.
Minority interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries increased
$2 in the first half of the year. The minority interest in the January 2000 gain
recognized by Albarus S.A. on the sale of a 16% interest in one of its
affiliates was the largest single factor.
We reported profit of $390 in the first six months of 2000 compared to
$352 in 1999. The comparisons include a net after-tax gain from divestitures of
$75 in 2000 and a non-recurring, after-tax charge of $11 in 1999.
Market Trends
-------------
The North American heavy truck build rate declined from an estimated
85,000 units in the first quarter of the year to an estimated 75,000 in the
second quarter as manufacturers reacted abruptly in June to a build up in
inventory; production of medium trucks remained steady. During the same period,
passenger car and light truck build rates declined from the 18,600,000
annualized rate in the first quarter but continued to be strong at more than
17,000,000 units. Our outlook for the remainder of 2000 is that heavy truck
production will continue to be affected by declining new orders but still finish
the year at a very solid 260,000 to 270,000 units. On the passenger car and
light truck side, we are encouraged by continued strength in SUVs but expect
overall volume for 2000 to decline slightly to about 17,000,000 units. The
medium truck market has been steady during the first half of the year and we see
that continuing at least through the end of the year.
AAG is experiencing softening demand in North America and Europe, its
two largest markets, and currency stability continues to be a concern in the
latter region. OHSG seems positioned for some recovery in Europe later this year
but the stability of the euro will be an important factor for the balance of the
year. South American operations appear to have stabilized and are showing modest
improvement; however, we do not expect significant recovery to begin until later
in the year. While operations in our Asia Pacific region are growing their sales
volume, start-up costs will continue to impact their earnings.
