                     DE TOMASO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  September 30, l994


          NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
                
                The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial  state-
                ments  havebeen prepared  in  accordance with  the instruc-
                tions to Form l0-Q  and therefore do not include all infor-
                mation 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 l993 Annual  Report
                on  Form  l0-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 In-
                corporated  and Maserati  Automobiles,  Inc.)   Significant
                intercompany  accounts and  trans-actions have  been elimi-
                nated upon consolidation.

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

                The accompanying  financial statements, expressed in  Ital-
                ian lire, have  been translated in U.S.  dollar equivalents
                at the rate of exchange prevailing at September 30, 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  con-
                ducted in  lire.  Trends  developed in reporting  financial
                information should

          NOTE C--(Continued)

                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 September  30, 1994  and  September 30,  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 tran-
                slated at the  current exchange rate and  operations state-
                ment 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 transaction  adjustments continue  to be re-
                ported in operations.  

                The U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are  included solely for
                the convenience  of the  shareholders of  De Tomaso  Indus-
                tries,  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, l993, 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 ($48,526,586)  payable
                in  installments ending January l, 1995.  The sale resulted
                in  a  gain  of  Lit  196,157,000,000 ($125,661,115)  after
                adjusting  the final  installment to  present  value.   The
                disposal of this segment has been  accounted for as a  dis-
                continued  operation and,  accordingly,  its operating  re-
                sults are segregated and reported as  a discontinued opera-
                tion  in l993.

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

                Net income for the  nine months ended September 30, 1993 is
                computed on  the number  of common  stock and common  stock
                equivalents outstanding at all times during such periods. 

                Net loss per share  for the nine months ended September 30,
                l994  and the  three months  ended September  30,  l994 and
                September 30, l993 is computed only  on the number of  com-
                mon 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 sale of  the Company's 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 opera-
          tions deals  only with its continuing operations for the 1993 and
          1994 periods.

                    Operations
                    ----------

                    Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30,
                    -------------------------------------------------------
                    1993
                    ----

                    Net   sales  increased   approximately   47%  to   Lit.
          10,627,000,000 ($6,807,816)1  in  the three  month  period  ended
          September 30, 1994 compared  to the third  quarter of 1993.   The
          Company restored  a gross profit margin in the 1994 period, after
          operating at a negative margin in the third quarter of 1993.

                    G.B.M. motorcycle and related parts  sales continued to
          show significant improvements over 1993 and accounted for approx-
          imately 92%  of the Company's consolidated net sales in the third
          quarter of  1994.  Unit sales  at G.B.M. rose 62%  over the prior
          year, although the subsidiary  still is not operating profitably.
          G.B.M.  lost Lit.  1,364,000,000 ($873,799)  in the  third fiscal
          quarter of  1994,  compared  to  a  loss  of  Lit.  2,203,000,000
          ($1,411,275) the prior year.

                    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 their  operations,
          however, is  material to the results of operations of the Company
          on a consolidated basis.

                    The Company  lost Lit. 1,150,000,000  ($736,706), equal
          to Lit. 559  ($.36) per share in  the 1994 third fiscal  quarter,
          compared to a  loss of Lit. 3,580,000,000  ($2,293,402), equal to
          Lit. 1,740 ($1.11), in the 1993 period.  The third fiscal quarter
          has historically been the Company's weakest, primarily because of
          Italian summer holidays.  

                    Nine months ended September  30, 1994 and September 30,
                    -------------------------------------------------------
          1993
          ----

                    Net  sales for the nine  month period in 1994 increased
          approximately 27%, to Lit. 34,431,000,000 ($22,057,015)  compared

                              
          --------------------
               1Lire amounts have been converted to dollar amounts at the
          rate of 1561 lire to the dollar, the rate prevailing at September
          30, 1994.

                                          8

          to the  1993 period, while gross profit margins improved to 12.2%
          from slightly over  1.3%.  G.B.M.'s unit sales increased approxi-
          mately 32% in 1994 over the comparable 1993 period.  

                    Due to  the increase in sales, the  Company reduced its
          third quarter 1994 loss by nearly 75% compared to 1993 (excluding
          the non-recurring gain in  1993 of Lit. 160,841,000,000 attribut-
          able to  the sale of Maserati to Fiat Auto, S.p.A.), although the
          improvement in  sales was insufficient  to enable the  Company to
          operate profitably overall.   The Company lost Lit. 2,119,000,000
          ($1,357,463), equal  to Lit. 1,030 ($.66)  per share in  the 1994
          nine month  period, compared to a net loss (excluding the discon-
          tinued Maserati  operations) of Lit. 134,000,000  ($5,210,762) in
          the 1993 period.  

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

                    Largely as a result of the May 1993 sale of its  equity
          interest in the Maserati subsidiary, the Company has ample liquid
          assets,  and has reduced bank  debt by approximately Lit. 11,739-
          ,000 ($7,520,180) since  December 31, 1993.   G.B.M. continues to
          maintain operations by utilizing cash  generated from operations,
          bank financing  and credit from suppliers, but because it has not
          restored profitability,  operations will require  additional cash
          to support for future growth and operations.
