                     DE TOMASO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    March 3l, l995


          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  foot-
            notes 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
            1994 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  (G.B.M.,  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 transactions have been eliminated  upon consolida-
            tion.

          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 3l, l995.

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

            In 1976, the Company determined  that it would be a more appro-
            priate 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  informa-
            tive if they are presented in the currency in which  the trans-
            action have occurred.

            The financial statements of U.S. entities for  the three months
            ended March  3l, l995 and March  3l, 1994 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 transaction  adjustments

                                          6

<PAGE>

            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--COMPUTATION OF INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

            Net loss  per share for the  three months ended  March 3l, l995
            and  the three months ended March 3l,  1994 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                 
                  ----------------------------------------------------

                  Operations
                  ----------

                  While  first quarter  1995 net  sales fell by  only 5% in
          comparison to the  first quarter  of 1994,  the cost of  products
          sold increased significantly and was the principal reason for the
          net loss realized in the 1995 quarter.  The increase in  the cost
          of products sold in the  first quarter of 1995 is attributable to
          the institution of a significantly  enlarged program of component
          outsourcing  by the  Company's  Italian motorcycle  manufacturing
          subsidiary,  G.B.M. S.p.A.   The  enlarged component  outsourcing
          program at G.B.M. was  implemented at the beginning  of the first
          quarter of 1995.   That  program involves  utilizing a number  of
          first time suppliers.   In consequence, G.B.M.  realized signifi-
          cant delays in  the receipt of  outsourced components as  well as
          problems  with quality  of  delivered components.    This led  to
          disruption of the  production process  which in  turn led to  the
          production of  only 812  motorcycles  during the  first  quarter.
          G.B.M.'s  management believes  that the  problems  it encountered
          with  suppliers have been largely  addressed, as evidenced by the
          production of an aggregate of more  than 950 units in the  months
          of April and May, 1995.  Further increases in the rate of produc-
          tion are anticipated.  G.B.M.'s management remains confident that
          the 5,500  motorcycles scheduled for  production in 1995  will be
          competed by year end.

                  Revenue  and  expense  related  to  the  Company's  other
          activities  produced  a   break-even  result,  not  significantly
          different from the net  results of those activities  in the first
          quarter of 1994.  

                  Provided  G.B.M.  operates  for  the full  1995  year  as
          forecast, the significant  operating loss  realized in the  first
          quarter will be substantially ameliorated and further progress in
          the "turnaround" of that subsidiary will have been demonstrated.

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

                  Management believes its  investments in  marketable secu-
          rities  and  working  capital,  aggregating  in  excess  of  Lit. 
          50,000,000,000 ($29,342,723.00*),   coupled  with  its    various 
          Italian  credit  facilities, is more than ample to  fund on-going
          operations and  its  contemplated  capital  expenditure  for  the
          balance of the current year.

                  G.B.M.  was past  due at December 31,  1994 in payment of
          installments on a loan having an unpaid principal balance on that
          date of Lit. 4,151,000,000 ($2,436,033.00*) and  bearing interest
          at 11.5%.  The Company and the lender are in an advanced stage of
          discussions  for  the full  refinancing  of  the loan,  which  is
          expected to be  completed within a  matter of weeks.   The lender
          has informally  agreed to  forebear from  taking any  action with
