                     DE TOMASO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    March 31, 1994

      NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
           been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
           therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary
           for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
           operations and changes in financial position in conformity with
           generally accepted accounting principles. For a summary of the
           Registrant's accounting principles, and other footnote information
           reference is made to the Registrant's 1993 Annual Report on Form
           10-K. All adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
           results of operations for the interim periods covered by this
           report have been included. All of such adjustments are of a normal
           and recurring nature.

      NOTE B--PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

           The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
           Company, its five Italian subsidiaries (GBM, Centro Ricambi,
           American-Finance, OAM S.p.A., and Hotel Roma) and two United States
           subsidiaries (Maserati Automobiles Incorporated and Maserati
           Automobiles, Inc.) Significant intercompany accounts and trans-
           actions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

      NOTE C--CHANGE IN BASIS OF TRANSLATION TO U.S. DOLLAR EQUIVALENTS

           The accompanying financial statements, expressed in Italian lire,
           have been translated in U.S. dollar equivalents at the rate of
           exchange prevailing at March 31, 1994

           Exchange gains and losses actually realized have been included in
           operations.

           In 1976, the Company determined that it would be a more appropriate
           and meaningful presentation if the primary financial statements
           were shown in Italian lire because the Company's manufacturing
           operations are entirely in Italy. Reports to the Italian government
           are made in lire, purchases of capital goods, financing
           arrangements and virtually all aspects of the Company's business
           are conducted in lire. Trends developed in reporting financial
           information should also be more informative if they are presented
           in the currency in which the transactions have occurred.

           The financial statements of U.S. entities for the three months
           ended March 31, 1994 and March 31, 1993 have been translated to
           Italian lire in accordance with FASB Statement No. 52, "Foreign
           Currency Translation." Under that Statement, all balance sheet
           accounts are translated at the current exchange rate and operations
           statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the
           quarter; resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a
           separate component of stockholders' equity. Certain other trans-
           action adjustments continue to be reported in operations.

           The U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are included solely for the
           convenience of the shareholders of De Tomaso Industries, Inc. It
           should not be construed that the assets and liabilities, expressed
           in U.S. dollar equivalents, can actually be realized in or
           extinguished by U.S. dollars at the exchange rates used in the
           accompanying translation because of fluctuations in the rates of
           exchange.

      NOTE D--GAIN ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK

           In May, 1993, the Company sold 51% of the common stock of Maserati,
           S.p.A., a 51% subsidiary of OAM S.p.A., to Fiat Auto S.p.A. for Lit
           75,750,000,000 ($46,991,351) payable in installments ending January
           1, 1995. The sale resulted in a gain of Lit 196,157,000,000
           ($121,685,484) after adjusting the final installment to present
           value. The disposal of this segment has been accounted for as a
           discontinued operation and, accordingly, its operating results are
           segregated and reported as a discontinued operation in 1993.


      NOTE E--COMPUTATION OF INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

           Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
           the three months ended March 31, 1993 is computed only on the
           number of common stock outstanding at all times during such
           periods. Convertible preferred shares are not considered to be
           common stock equivalents because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

      Item 2.   Management's discussion and analysis of Financial
                Conditions and Results of Operations                 
                ----------------------------------------------------

                As a consequence of the Company's sale of its 51% equity
      interest in its Maserati subsidiary in May 1993, which is reported as a
      discontinued operation in the accompanying unaudited financial
      statements for the 1993 period, Management's discussion of the Company's
      operations deals only with its continuing operations for the 1993 and
      1994 periods.

                Operations
                ----------

                Net sales improved 44% to Lit. 10,364,000,000 ($6,429,280),1
      comparing the first quarter of 1993 to the first quarter of 1994; gross
      profits more than doubled comparing the same periods.  G.B.M.'s
      motorcycle unit sales increased by 76% over 1993.  G.B.M.'s sales
      accounted for approximately 93% of the Company's consolidated net sales
      in the 1994 quarter and for approximately 83% of consolidated net sales
      in the 1993 period.  The Company's other subsidiaries are all operating
      at or near break-even levels, and generate sufficient revenue to fund
      their respective operations.  None of the subsidiaries' operations,
      taken individually or in the aggregate, is material to the results of
      operations of the Company on a consolidated basis.

           The Company's loss from continuing operations dropped by 74.3%
      (before minority interests) as a result primarily of the improvement in
      G.B.M.'s performance.  The operating loss for G.B.M. alone declined by
      50% from approximately Lit. 2,200,000,000 ($1,364,764) in the 1993
      period to approximately Lit. 1,100,000,000 ($682,382) in the first
      quarter of 1994.

           Including the loss attributable to the discontinued Maserati
      operation for 1993, the Company's net loss declined 94.4% to Lit.
      1,015,000,000 ($629,653) from Lit. 18,193,000,000 ($11,285,980).

           The increase in G.B.M.'s net sales is attributable primarily to a
      single contract to supply motorcycles to a South American country. 
      Management is hopeful that with the new management assistance
      arrangement which is currently in place at G.B.M., that subsidiary will
      be able to continue progressing toward recovery and profitability.  

           Liquidity and Capital Resources
           -------------------------------

           Cash and cash equivalents increased 60.3% at March 31, 1994 from
      year-end 1993, and marketable securities more than quadrupled.  The
      improvements were due principally to the payment by Fiat of its January
      1994 installment on the Maserati sale and the receipt of payment on
      outstanding trade receivables.  The decline in Other Assets reflects the
      reclassification (under applicable accounting rules) of the pending 
      January 1995 Fiat installment to an Other Receivable.  The Company used 
      a portion of the 1994 Fiat installment payment to reduce bank debt by 
      approximately Lit. 10,000,000,000 ($6,203,474).

                             
          --------------------
               1Lire amounts have  been converted to dollar amounts  at the
          rate of 1612 lire to the dollar prevailing at March 31, 1994.
