                   DE TOMASO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 1995


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  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
     June 30, 1995.

     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 transaction have occurred.

<PAGE>
     The financial statements of U.S. entities for the three months ended   June
     30,  1995 and    June 30,  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 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 income  for the  three months ended  June 30,  1994 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 six months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
     and the three months ended June 30, 1995 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.

NOTE E--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In  July, 1995,  the Company  completed  the acquisition  of the  principal
     assets of  Finprogetti S.p.A.  in exchange for  2,035,786 of  the Company's
     common shares valued at $12.26 each and aggregating approximately $25,000,-
     000.  In a related transaction,  certain Finprogetti shareholders purchased
     408,008  of the  Company's common  shares at  $12.26 each,  aggregating ap-
     proximately  $5,000,000.  Finprogetti is obligated to purchase by September
     30, 1995, 338,011 additional common shares for approximately $4,100,000.

     Also, in July,  1995, the Company reacquired  from a former Officer  of the
     Company 703,774 common shares at a price of $11.27 per share.

Item 2.   Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
          Results of Operations                                           
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Operations
     ----------

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
     --------------------------------------------------

     Net sales increased approximately 46% to Lit.  19,616,000,000 ($12,019,608)
in the three month  period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the second quarter of
1994.   Gross profits doubled over  the 1994 period, while  gross profit margins
increased to 18.7% in the 1995 period from 13.6% in the 1994 period.

     Operations  at the Company's G.B.M.  S.p.A. motorcycle subsidiary continued
to improve.   Excluding the almost completed liquidation of  the Benelli scooter
inventory,  G.B.M. unit sales  increased almost 41%  over the  second quarter of
1994.   Production increased in each month of  the quarter, and G.B.M. began  to
reduce some of  the production backlog which  had built up in the first quarter.
While  continuing  improvements  in   production  rates,  quality  control  and 
coordination of deliveries  of out-sourced materials and  components with  
production  requirements  are anticipated, many problems remain to be addressed.
As a  consequence, temporary  setbacks in  production could occur.

     The  operating  improvements at  G.B.M.  were offset  by  a combination  of
factors.   Higher selling, general and administrative expenses were incurred due
to  greater motorcycle sales  and costs associated  with the  acquisition of the
principal assets of Finprogetti S.p.A. which was completed immediately after the
close of  the quarter.   Additionally, the Company  reported lower interest  and
other  income  in the  1995  second  quarter because  the  1994 period  included
approximately Lit.  742,500,000 ($454,963) of  imputed interest relating  to the
final installment from Fiat of Lit. 27,000,000,000 ($16,544,117) paid in January
1995 from the  1993 sale of the Company's  51% equity interest in  Maserati.  In
contrast,  the Company  realized  interest at  a lower  rate  in 1995,  and used
portions  of the  final installment to  reduce bank indebtedness  and fund prior
operating losses.

     The Company, as a result of these factors,  lost Lit. 69,000,000 ($42,279),
or Lit. 34  ($.02) per share,  in the  second quarter of  1995, compared to  net
income of Lit. 46,000,000 ($28,186), or  Lit. 15 ($.01), in the comparable  1994
period.

     Six Months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994
     ------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the six month period in 1995 increased 23.8% to Lit. 29,466,-
000,000 ($18,055,147)  compared to  the 1994  period.   Gross profits,  however,
declined 20.1% from the 1994 to 1995 six month period, and  gross profit margins
declined to 8.5%  from 13.1% as a  lingering result of the Company's  poor first
quarter 1995 results.





















                                        8








<PAGE>







     Due principally to the first quarter loss, the Company lost Lit. 3,511,000-
,000 ($2,151,348),  equal to Lit. 1,706 ($1.05) per share  in the 1995 six month
period, compared to a net loss of Lit. 969,000,000 ($593,750), equal to Lit. 471
($.29) in the 1994 period.

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

     Using a portion of  the proceeds of the 1993 Fiat  transaction, the Company
has  reduced bank indebtedness by  approximately Lit. 5,000,000,000 ($3,063,726)
since December 31, 1994.  G.B.M. has completed renegotiations on the terms of  a
loan which  had been in default, resulting in  a decrease in the current portion
of  long   term  indebtedness  and  a   corresponding  increase  in   long  term
indebtedness.  Accrued interest on the loan was also capitalized.

     Within days  after the completion of  the Finprogetti transaction,  on July
21,  1995,  the Company  acquired  703,774 shares  of  stock  formerly owned  by
Alejandro De Tomaso,  the Company's former  Chairman, at a  price of $11.27  per
share.   The Company  paid the  purchase price  by delivering  a combination  of
approximately    $3,063,000  in  cash  and   certain  other  assets    valued
at approximately $4,869,000.   The Company's acquisition of the principal assets
of  Finprogetti S.p.A.  was  in exchange  for 2,035,786  newly issued  shares of
common stock,  valued at  an aggregate  of approximately  $25,000,000.   248,673
shares,  representing  the  consideration  for an  Italian  tax  refund  of Lit.
5,000,000,000 ($3,063,725)  due to Finprogetti, are  being held in  escrow until
the  refund is received  by the Company  and until release  may not  be voted by
Finprogetti.   Certain  Finprogetti  shareholders also  purchased  an additional
408,008 shares  of common stock  of the  Company by  paying $5,000,000 in  cash.
Finprogetti is obligated to  purchase or cause others to  purchase an additional
338,011 shares of common stock for  an aggregate of approximately $4,100,000  by
September 30, 1995.  The Company is obligated to  purchase the remaining 776,530
shares formerly owned  by Mr. De  Tomaso at  $11.27 per share  by June 20,  1998
unless those shares have already been sold.

     Management holds  the view that the  development of the  non-operating real
estate  assets formerly owned by  Finprogetti does not fit  within the long term
strategic goals of  the Company.   Those assets will  be sold over  time in  the
ordinary  course of  business and  the resulting  capital will  be used  for the
Company's  operations.    Given  the  improvement in  G.B.M.'s  operations,  the
Company's internal  capital resources, together  with available  bank financing,
are more than  adequate for its foreseeable capital needs, including the planned
redemption of up to  80% of the outstanding shares held  by public shareholders,
and  the businesses of  G.B.M., the  temporary management company  acquired from
Finprogetti,   and  other   contemplated   activities   relating  to   potential
"turnarounds" of troubled companies.
