Item 1.   Business
- ------    --------

     (a)  General Development of Business
          -------------------------------

Introduction
- ------------

     Having effected during 1995 a basic restructuring of its operations and
strategic direction, the Company today provides an array of temporary management
and opportunistic capital investment resources to troubled businesses located
primarily in Italy.   By rendering these services, the Company acquires the
ability to earn fees from the engagements (including negotiated bonuses in the
form of cash or equity for achieving agreed upon results), to make investments
of its capital, alone or with other strategic or financial investors, in
minority or controlling equity positions in managed clients ("Portfolio
Companies"). 

     The Company plans to realize income from the operations of wholly or
majority owned companies and from the disposition of its equity interests in the
Portfolio Companies at enhanced values resulting from the rendering of
management services by the Company. 

     The Company's new business structure enables it to apply its management and
capital investment skills to present and future Portfolio Companies as well as
to outside clients, to incentivize outside clients to make greater use of the
Company's resources, and to utilize its clients as sources for new management
engagements and capital investment opportunities.

     The Company's strategic refocus is an outgrowth of the sudden illness in
1993 of the Company's former chairman, Alejandro De Tomaso, and, contemporane-
ously, the divestiture by the Company of the entirety of its controlling
interest in its principal Italian operating subsidiary, Maserati S.p.A. to Fiat
Auto S.p.A. 

     In 1993, after the Maserati sale, the Company's only operating subsidiary
was G.B.M. S.p.A. (since renamed Moto Guzzi S.p.A. and referred to throughout
this report as "Moto Guzzi").  At that time, Moto Guzzi was a manufacturer of
medium and high priced motorcycles which for years had been both unprofitable
and undercapitalized.  The Company's Board was prepared to consider a capital
investment by or joint venture with a third party, the sale of its interest in
Moto Guzzi, or some other form of business combination to repair Moto Guzzi's
capital deficiencies and financial condition.

     When those efforts proved unsuccessful, the Company, in May 1994, engaged
Temporary Integrated Management S.r.l. ("T.I.M.") to provide Moto Guzzi with
critically needed temporary management in order to staunch losses and to design
a capital plan for future growth or sale of the subsidiary.  Management selected
and installed by T.I.M. continues to operate Moto Guzzi.   As described below,
under T.I.M.'s direction, Moto Guzzi increased production 




















                                        2







<PAGE>






and sales, reduced costs, and achieved virtual break-even results on an
operating profit basis.  The Company's 100%-owned motorcycle manufacturing
subsidiary today manufactures a high priced line of motorcycles under the
trademark "Moto Guzzi", and is the successor to businesses acquired by the
Company in 1972. Moto Guzzi cycles vary in engine displacement from 300cc to
1,100cc, although the subsidiary has determined to focus its future sales and
development efforts on its larger motorcycles, having engines of 750cc or
greater.

     T.I.M. is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, having been
acquired in 1995 as part of the purchase of substantially all of the operating
assets of Finprogetti, S.p.A., (see "Finprogetti Acquisition", below).  While
the operations of T.I.M. to date have not been material to the consolidated
results of operations of the Company, the acquisition of T.I.M. was an essential
component of the redirection of the Company's business strategy, as it permits
the Company to combine T.I.M.'s skill and knowledge in providing capable
management to troubled businesses with the Company's abilities in analyzing
capital requirements and transaction structuring, and to apply such capabilities
to investment opportunities arising out of T.I.M.'s management engagement.

     Previously, in November, 1993, T.I.M.'s management services were engaged by
Finprogetti, itself a financially troubled, privately held Italian corporation,
the capital of which was invested in real estate and financial services
ventures. Finprogetti acquired a 55% equity interest in T.I.M. in November, 1994
by buying shares from Albino Collini, T.I.M.'s founder. Sig. Collini had become
Finprogetti's managing director in November, 1993.

Finprogetti Acquisition
- -----------------------

     In December 1994, (T.I.M. having managed Moto Guzzi during the last seven
months of the year), the Company's Board received an offer from Finprogetti in
which it was proposed that: (a) the Company would acquire substantially all of
the operating assets of Finprogetti, including its Italian real estate
interests, its T.I.M. subsidiary, a leasing and factoring company and certain
Italian tax receivables aggregating Lit. 5,150,000,000 ($3,243,073)* , in
exchange for newly issued shares of the Company's common stock valued at Lit.
20,106.73 per share ($12.26 at the then-prevailing exchange rate), and (b)
Finprogetti would make or cause others to make additional equity investments in
the Company aggregating up to Lit. 15,000,000,000 





                    
- --------------------

     *
     Throughout this statement,  all amounts are stated in  Italian Lire, unless
     otherwise stated.  Amounts in  Italian lire have  been converted  into U.S.
     dollars solely for  convenience at the exchange  rate of 1,588 to  the U.S.
     dollar prevailing on December 31, 1995.

     The US dollar equivalent amounts are included solely for the convenience of
     the readers of the  financial statements. It  should not be construed  that
     the assets  and  liabilities,  expressed  in  US  dollar  equivalents,  can
     actually be realized in or extinguished by US dollars at the exchange rates
     used in the accompanying translation.

($9,445,844) paying cash therefor at the same price of Lit. 20,106.73 per share.
If aggregate additional investments were less than Lit. 15,000,000,000, it was
agreed that Finprogetti would realize a reduction in the number of shares to be
issued in connection with the acquisition of the Finprogetti assets.

     Under the agreement ultimately negotiated with Finprogetti, which closed on
July 17, 1995, a total of 1,922,652 shares of common stock were issued in
exchange for the Finprogetti assets, and certain of the Finprogetti shareholders
purchased an additional 408,008 shares for an aggregate amount of Lit.
8,203,706,600 (approximately $5 million). A portion of the 1,922,652 shares are
being held in escrow pending receipt by the Company of a Lit. 5,150 million
Italian tax refund due to one of the acquired Finprogetti companies.   See Note
3 to Notes to the Financial Statements.

     The former Finprogetti real estate assets acquired by the Company are not
presently intended to be held long term.  The Company either will seek a
strategic partner to help manage the properties or will seek to dispose of them
in due course and at maximally favorable values.

Lita Acquisition
- ----------------

     In the first execution of its new business plan following its acquisition
of Finprogetti's subsidiaries, including T.I.M., on July 25, 1995, the Company,
through one of its Italian subsidiaries, acquired Lita S.p.A. ("Lita"), an
Italian manufacturer of steel tubing used for automotive purposes and in the
manufacture of metal furniture. Lita's operations, while not material to the
Company's consolidated 1995 results of operations, are expected to be material
to the Company's operations in 1996.

     Lita was acquired from a client of T.I.M. which had retained T.I.M. to
manage the company after a material decline in Lita's operations, and to oversee
its sale to a third party to be identified by T.I.M.  The physical and
operational presence of T.I.M. at Lita, its ability to examine and comprehen-
sively analyze the operational and capital needs of the client, and T.I.M.'s
ability to provide its client access to the capital finance resources of the
Company represents an example of an investment opportunity arising from T.I.M.'s
management business. The stock of Lita was acquired at a cost of Lit. 615
million ($387,280), representing a discount of approximately Lit. 1,600 million
($1,007,557) from the book value of its assets.  Through management provided to
Lita by T.I.M., the Company hopes to enhance the value of Lita as a Portfolio
Company and benefit both from income generated from Lita's operations and from
an eventual disposition of the rejuvenated subsidiary.

     In summary, while the strategic focus of the Company is to seek
opportunistic investments through relationships developed from its management
service business with business owners and bank creditors, today, through its
Italian Portfolio Companies, the Company has material operations in the
following industry segments:























                                        4







<PAGE>







     -    the manufacture and sale of high priced motorcycles through its Moto
          Guzzi subsidiary;

     -    the operation and sale of operating and developmental real property
          through subsidiaries acquired from Finprogetti; and

     -    the manufacture and sale of specialty steel tubing through its Lita
          subsidiary.


     Additionally, the Company owns 84.35 % of the capital stock of O.A.M.
S.p.A., the entity which had owned Maserati S.p.A. Chrysler Corporation has
owned a 15.65% equity interest in O.A.M. since 1986. 

     The Company also owns 100% or controlling interests in the following
subsidiaries which are either inactive or which are being liquidated, and which
in the aggregate account for less than 1% of the consolidated net worth of the
Company: Tridentis, S.A., Newstead, Ltd., Finprogetti Servizi S.p.A., American
Finance, S.p.A., MAI, Inc. and Storm S.p.A.


     The Company's strategic plan is to expand substantially the size and scope
of the Company's hands-on management and financing business in "turnaround" and
opportunistic investment situations.  The Company intends to engage from time to
time in strategic relationships with other enterprises which are both well-
capitalized and which finance troubled and underperforming businesses or which
are seeking "local" partners with hands-on management capabilities.  

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in
1917.

     The following table summarizes the subsidiaries' legal jurisdictions and
operations. The following charts depict the structure of the Company as at
December 31, 1995.

     (b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments.
          ---------------------------------------------

          Information on net sales, operating profit, depreciation and
amortization, capital expenditures and assets employed for each segment of the
Company's business for the three year period ended December 31, 1995 is
contained in Note 14 to the Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by
reference.

     (c)  Narrative Description of Business
          ---------------------------------
          The Company has three (3) business segments:  motorcycles, steel
tubing and commercial real estate development.  Two such segments - motorcycles
and real estate - were material to the Company's 1995 results of operations.

     (i)  Motorcycles
          -----------

          The motorcycle segment continues to dominate reported results of
operations in 1995, accounting for approximately 89.5% of the Company's
consolidated net sales. 

          Moto Guzzi, the Company's 100%-owned motorcycle manufacturing
subsidiary, manufactures a high priced line of motorcycles under the trademark
"Moto Guzzi", and is the successor to businesses acquired by the Company in
1972. Moto Guzzi cycles vary in engine displacement from 300cc to 1,100cc,
although the subsidiary has made a strategic decision to concentrate development
and sales efforts on its largest motorcycles, having engines of 750cc or larger.
 Moto Guzzi spare parts are distributed through Centro Ricambi S.r.l. ("Centro
Ricambi"), now a 100% owned subsidiary of Moto Guzzi following purchase of the
minority shareholding of 3.33% in the first quarter of 1996. Moto Guzzi had also
manufactured and sold smaller and lower priced cycles under the "Benelli"
trademark, but closed production of these vehicles in 1993.  Moto Guzzi
continues to maintain a small inventory of Benelli motorcycles.  

     All motorcycle manufacturing is conducted at Moto Guzzi's Mandello, Italy
facility. Moto Guzzi manufactures certain power train components, acquires
certain other components from outside suppliers, and performs finishing work and
assembly into motorcycle bodies. Moto Guzzi's operations have been managed since
May 1994 by a T.I.M.-appointed manager.

Distribution
- ------------

     Moto Guzzi maintains an Italian distribution network of over 200
independent dealers.

     In 1995, a single importer-distributor acted as exclusive importer-
distributor for Moto Guzzi in each of France, Japan, Denmark, Finland, Germany,
Greece, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland,
Australia, the U.K., the United States and Holland.

     Moto Guzzi owns a 25% equity interest in A+G Motorod GmbH ("A+G"), a German
corporation, the majority of the shares of which is owned by Aprilia S.p.A.,
another Italian 




















                                        7







<PAGE>






manufacturer of motorcycles with small displacement engines.  A+G distributes
the motorcycles of both Moto Guzzi and Aprilia in the German market.  An amended
shareholders' agreement has extended the current arrangement through December
31, 1996 by which time Moto Guzzi must decide to continue the existing
arrangement or to terminate it, with a view to distributing its products in
Germany directly or through another distributor.

     No single Italian dealer accounted for more than 5% of the sales of Moto
Guzzi in 1995.  The Italian dealers who distribute Moto Guzzi motorcycles
generally handle other brands as well.

Net Sales
- ---------

     Since 1981, sales and production of Moto Guzzi motorcycles, with only
occasional interruptions, had been declining consistently. Production of Moto
Guzzi's larger Moto Guzzi machines declined from 2,935 units in 1992 to 2,175
units in 1993. Similar declines were sustained in the smaller Benelli
motorcycles (including Benelli models marketed as small Moto Guzzi models).

     In 1994, following the engagement of T.I.M. to improve manufacturing and
sales results, Moto Guzzi's overall unit sales improved by 28% and production of
the company's larger machines expanded to 3,048 units.  In 1995, units sales
increased by 23.1% from 4,278 in 1994 to 5,266 in 1995, of which 4,800 had
engine displacements of 350cc or greater and 466 had displacements of less than
350cc.  Additionally, 448 Benelli motorcycles were sold from inventory.

     All sales are invoiced in Italian lire except sales to the United States
which are invoiced in US dollars.  Prices are customarily reviewed and are
increased to cover increases in production costs at periodic intervals and in
light of prevailing exchange rates. Italian prices for motorcycles traditionally
have been higher than export prices. In 1995, Moto Guzzi increased prices of its
various models twice, with such increases aggregating approximately 9% on
average for domestic sales and for export sales invoiced in lire and 4% in
respect of export sales to the US, which are invoiced in US dollars. Export
sales continued to reflect lower margins than domestic Italian sales.

     Sales in 1995 of Moto Guzzi machines to the Italian and other governments
were 16.2% of its total motorcycle sales revenues. 

Backlogs
- --------

     Moto Guzzi's entire 1995 production capacity was covered by orders in hand
on January 1, 1995.  Such orders were subject to cancellation without penalty. 
Backlog of Moto Guzzi units for 1995 delivery at January 1, 1995 was
approximately Lit. 54,803,000,000 ($33,912,747) in the aggregate, representing
5,523 units.   Backlog was approximately Lit 10,000,000,000 ($6,188,119) at
January 1, 1994.  Orders for 1996 delivery exceed current production capacity 
























                                        8







<PAGE>






and the Company expects it will again be unable fully to satisfy demand for its
motorcycles in the current year.  Such orders too are cancelable without
penalty. The Company has drawn up a sales and production plan for 1996 for
approximately 6,400 motorcycles based on supplying strategic markets and
customers.  Customarily, additional orders have been received during the course
of the year.

     Moto Guzzi is seeking to increase production and productivity without
increasing the size of its work force by increased use of component outsourcing.


Competition
- -----------

     The sale of motorcycles is a highly competitive business, with competition
typically coming from all powered passenger vehicles, as well as motorcycles.
The overall market in Italy contracted slightly in 1995, with new vehicle
registrations in Italy declining by 2.7% compared to 1994. Overall, Moto Guzzi
had a 2.3% share of the Italian domestic market in 1995 and sales of its largest
motorcycles (over 750 cc) represented approximately a 2.6% market share. Moto
Guzzi's share of the Italian market must be considered in the light of its
inability to meet demand in 1995 due to production capacity limitations, as
noted above.

     The Italian market remains dominated by large, well-financed Japanese
manufacturers. A number of Italian and foreign manufacturers, principally
Cagiva, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki, sell their products in the Italian
market.  In 1995, the Italian market shares of the principal competitors of Moto
Guzzi on a unit basis were as follows:

     For the largest machines (over 750cc):

     Harley Davidson - 19.7%; BMW - 17.5%; Ducati - 14.6%; Honda - 14.1%;
Suzuki- 9.3%; Kawasaki - 8.0%; Moto Guzzi 2.6%; Triumph 2.5%.

     For all motorcycles:

     Honda - 25.4%; Yamaha - 15.2%; Aprilia - 12.1%; Suzuki - 9.0 %; BMW - 6.7%;
Kawasaki - 6.6%; Ducati - 6.1%; Cagiva 5.2%; Harley Davidson - 4.1%; Motor Guzzi
2.3%.

     Moto Guzzi maintains an extremely small share of the world-wide motorcycle
market, which is dominated by many of the same manufacturers that predominate in
Italy.


Raw Materials and Components
- ----------------------------

     The source and supply of motorcycle raw materials, including aluminum for
power train components, is not a significant business risk for Moto Guzzi. There
are multiple reliable sources for components.





















                                        9







<PAGE>







     The cost of imported raw materials is affected by variations in currency
exchange rates. In 1994, the value of the Italian lire had declined relative to
the currency of Italy's primary trading partners which resulted simultaneously
in an increase in the cost of imported raw materials and in an improvement in
the price competitiveness of Italian-made finished goods, such as Moto Guzzi's
motorcycles. In 1995, as a result of greater stability, currency exchange rates
had a less significant effect on costs and price competitiveness.

     During 1995, the costs of materials and components for production of a
motorcycle increased by approximately 6.2% over 1994 average costs levels.
Approximately 4.8% of this was due to material cost increases, 1.2% to
outsourcing of certain components and 0.2% to technical improvements and
modifications to specifications. A significant element of the raw material price
increase was in respect of purchased aluminum components which increased by
approximately 30%, mainly due to aluminum prices.

Research and Development and Continuing Engineering
- ---------------------------------------------------

     Moto Guzzi is continuously engaged in company-sponsored programs of product
improvement and development. Aggregate 1995 research and development
expenditures by Moto Guzzi were Lit. 861 million ($542,191) compared to Lit. 197
million ($124,055) in 1994, and Lit. 409 million ($257,557) in 1993. Of the Lit.
861 million expenditure in 1995, approximately Lit. 602 million was in respect
of development of models whose production will commence in 1996.

     These on-going programs relate to developing more powerful engines with
improved performance and durability characteristics, superior braking systems,
suspensions, frames, transmissions and other components applicable to two-
wheeled vehicles.

Seasonal Nature of Business
- ---------------------------

     Moto Guzzi's business has been turned around to the point that again it is
affected by seasonal factors.  Retail market demand is highest in the spring and
early summer, whereas most sales to the Italian government take place in the
last quarter of the year. Moto Guzzi, like most Italian companies, traditionally
shuts down production in August of each year and traditionally also has reduced
production over the Christmas holidays and in the period immediately following,
while inventory is being taken. Moto Guzzi is now seeking to reduce the
production slowdown during this December-January period as part of its effort to
increase overall production levels by not suspending production during the
period of physical inventory taking. 

Working Capital Items
- ---------------------

     Moto Guzzi is not affected by any unusual industry practices relating to
returns of merchandise or extended payment, nor are they required to carry
unusually significant inventories.  Due to a strategic decision to increase
component outsourcing, inventory levels 





















                                       10







<PAGE>






increased in 1995.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations" below.

Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------

     Except as described below, the business of Moto Guzzi is not and has not
been in any material respect dependent upon patents, licenses, franchises or
concessions. The component parts of motorcycles are manufactured pursuant to
well known techniques and include components which are not unique to its
products, although some of these components are specially styled and designed.
Management believes that the trade name "Moto Guzzi" and the related trademarks
are well known and highly regarded throughout the world, and appropriate steps
have been taken to protect Moto Guzzi's rights in these trade names and
trademarks in those countries representing significant markets.

Compliance with Governmental Regulations
- ----------------------------------------

     Moto Guzzi, along with other motorcycle manufacturers, has incurred
substantial costs in designing and testing products to comply with safety and
emissions requirements. Such standards have added, and will continue to add,
substantially to the price of the vehicles while competitive pressures have kept
export prices lower than domestic Italian sales prices.

     The distribution of motorcycles in the United States is not subject to the
required federal safety equipment and damage susceptibility regulations
applicable only to automobiles, such as bumper durability, and front and side
impact resistance and passive restraint systems insofar as they relate to newly
manufactured post-1990 vehicles, nor to state or federal automobile fuel economy
or emissions regulations with respect to such vehicles.

     All motorcycles produced by the Company and its subsidiaries for sale in
the United States are manufactured with the intent to comply with all applicable
federal safety standards. The Company's 1995 model year motorcycles comply with
EPA emission standards applicable in all 50 states.

Employees and Employee Relations
- --------------------------------

     At December 31, 1995, Moto Guzzi had 338 employees, compared to 303 at
December 31, 1994, of whom approximately 74% were engaged in factory production
and the balance in various supervisory, sales, purchasing, administrative,
design, engineering and clerical activities. At December 31, 1995, Centro
Ricambi had 19 employees. Approximately 42% of Centro Ricambi's employees are
engaged in warehouse and shipping work, with the balance engaged in supervisory,
purchasing, administrative and clerical activities. Labor hourly costs increased
approximately 3.4% in 1995 at Moto Guzzi as a result of pay rises of 2.5% and a
bonus for reaching production targets of approximately 0.9%. Annualized labor
costs based on data through December 31, 1995 were approximately 17 % higher
than in 1994 in the aggregate due 























                                       11







<PAGE>






to the engagement of additional personnel, pay increases and increased overtime.
Overtime hours amounted to 9.6% of total hours in 1995 compared to 5.9% in 1994.

     Moto Guzzi was not subjected to any strikes or work stoppages in 1995,
whereas two national strikes in 1994 cost Moto Guzzi 3,217 production hours.  In
Modena, the local Centro Ricambi "company" contract expired on March 31, 1994. A
new contract has not yet been signed. Moto Guzzi's "company" contract was
renegotiated early in 1996.  The terms of the renegotiation are not expected to
have a significant impact on labor costs.  In 1995, Moto Guzzi did not avail
itself of any Italian government furlough program due to production furloughs.

     Under Italian law, persons in a company acquire the right to severance pay
based upon salary and years of service.  At December 31, 1995, the Company was
obligated to pay employees an aggregate of Lit. 8,231,00,000 ($5,183,000)
compared to Lit. 7,137,000,000 ($4,494,000) at December 31, 1994.

     (ii)   Steel Tubing
            ------------

     Although not material to its 1995 consolidated operations, Lita, which was
acquired on July 25, 1995, is expected to be a material line of business in
1996.  Summary information about Lita is therefore provided in this report.  
All of the stock of Lita was acquired at a cost of Lit. 615,000,000 ($383,344),
representing a sizeable discount against the book value of its assets of Lit.
2,264,000,000 ($1,424,000).  Lita manufactures plain and perforated molded steel
tubes used principally in the automotive and furniture industries.  The
subsidiary's factory in Torino has a production capacity of approximately 15,000
tons, but the company produced at 60% of capacity in 1995 and has achieved
capacity utilization of less than 73% since 1992.  T.I.M. had been engaged by
the former owners of Lita in October 1994 to provide management assistance, and
to assist in identifying potential acquirors.  Since T.I.M.'s engagement, most
of the customers lost by Lita in 1994 have been regained, supplier relationships
re-established and export relationships established.  As budgeted by T.I.M.'s
managers, Lita, in 1996, is accordingly expected to realize substantially higher
revenues than in 1995, and, as a consequence, is expected to become a material
subsidiary of the Company.

     (iii)     Commercial Real Estate Development Segment
               ------------------------------------------

     The Company acquired as part of the Finprogetti transaction a real estate
portfolio, which it will seek to liquidate at opportune times.  The portfolio
consists of investments in four properties in Italy and a minority shareholding
in a property development company.

     Commercial property at Cologne, Italy, has a book value of Lit. 16,276
million and outstanding loans secured on the property amounting to Lit. 14,546
million at December 31, 1995.  The Cologne property is approximately 22,000
square meters, 80% of which is currently rented to a multinational company under
an operating lease expiring in 1998.  The remaining space can only be
commercially exploited after repairs to the existing structure.  A sale, at
market value, of all or a portion of the Company's 100% interest to the
Company's




















                                       12







<PAGE>






affiliate, Interim S.p.A. is currently being examined.  In current market
conditions, the Company expects to recover the book value of the property, after
depreciation through the date of sale.

     The Company has a 66.7% interest in Immobiliare Broseta S.r.l. which owns
industrial and commercial holdings and additional surrounding land aggregating
approximately 66,000 square meters in Bergamo, Italy.  The remaining 33.3% is
held by the Company's affiliate, Interim S.p.A.  Net of minority interests
Broseta has a value of approximately Lit. 5,200 million in the Company's balance
sheet as at December 31, 1995.  The real estate has a book value of Lit. 11,949
million and outstanding loans of Lit. 4,716 million and the major part of the
property is represented by six buildings to be restructured for residential use.
 The Company is negotiating to dispose of its 66.7% interest in this property to
Domer S.p.A., at market value (which is not expected to be less than book
value), in return for secured loan notes and unsecured loan notes payable on the
earlier of completion and eventual sale of the development or three years.

     The Company owns an 80% interest in unimproved land aggregating 2,539,020
square meters near Cagliari (Sardinia), Italy and which has a book value at
December 31, 1995 of Lit. 6,000 million.  An unaffiliated third party has
acquired an option to purchase the Company's interest on or before June 30, 1996
for an amount above book value.  The Company does not believe this option will
be exercised.  The land has development potential for tourism or residential
purposes and the Company will explore its disposition following the lapse, or
otherwise of the outstanding option.

     The Company owns a 100% interest in Pastorino S.r.l., which owns concession
rights over 196 spaces in a municipal parking garage in Genoa, Italy.  The book
value of the concession rights is Lit. 4,641 million at December 1995.  The
rights last until the year 2041 and are being depreciated over the period from
acquisition to this date.  The Company has sub-contracted management of the
parking spaces under a three year contract and will consider disposition on the
termination of this contract or sooner, depending on market conditions.

     The Company owns a minority interest in Interim S.p.A. (through a 25% 
indirect interest in Domer S.p.A. which owns 68.2% of Interim S.p.A.).  
Interim S.p.A. is a property development company based in Brescia, Italy which 
has several projects under active development as at December 31, 1995.  This 
investment has a value of Lit. 1,630 million as at December 31, 1995 and the 
Company has no current intention to dispose of it.

     (d)  Financial Information About Foreign and 
          Domestic (Italian) Operations and Export Sales
          ----------------------------------------------

Motorcycle Business
- -------------------

     All motorcycle production occurs in Italy and foreign sales are made to
distributors located outside Italy.  Most foreign sales are made to Western
European countries.  Although 






















                                       13







<PAGE>






in the aggregate sales outside of Italy are significant, sales to any particular
country other than France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Holland, Australia,
Japan, Austria and Switzerland are insignificant.   In 1995, the Company had
aggregate sales outside of Italy of Lit. 35,634 million ($22,440,000)
representing 65% of total motorcycle sales.  

     Set forth below are charts illustrating percentage of motorcycle sales
revenues attributable to various geographic areas in the three most recent
fiscal years.

Item 2.   Properties

     The following facilities were, and unless so indicated, are presently,
leased or owned by the Company in the active conduct of its business:

     (a)  1,460 square feet of office space at 107 Monmouth Street, Red Bank,
          New Jersey 07701, in which are located the United States
          administrative offices of the Company, and which is occupied under a
          month-to-month lease, at a monthly rental of $970.  It is anticipated
          that the Company will relocate its administrative offices closer to
          the region's international airports and to the residence of the
          Company's President and CEO.

     (b)  Factory and office facilities owned in fee and located in Mandello del
          Lario, Italy in a group of one, two and three story buildings
          aggregating 54,550 square meters, and which is used by Moto Guzzi This
          facility is currently operating at approximately 50% of production
          capacity calculated as a percentage of available space, compared to a
          utilization rate of 30% in 1994.
























                                       14







<PAGE>







     (c)  One single-story 2,800 square meter concrete building located in
          Modena, Italy and completed in late 1983 with an 8 meter ceiling,
          rented on a month-to-month basis by Centro Ricambi from De Tomaso
          Modena, an affiliate of Mr. Alejandro De Tomaso, at a monthly rental
          of Lit. 9,000,000 ($5,569) since January 1, 1984. This facility has
          been fully utilized as a spare parts distribution facility for Moto
          Guzzi. The subsidiary is seeking to relocate its operations to other
          facilities.

     (d)  Office, retail showroom, service and warehouse space at 1501 Caton
          Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, situated on a 2.9 acre tract in a steel

          MAI.  The facility had operated at approximately 40% of capacity in
          1994. Insofar as MAI has suspended operations, the facility became
          vacant in 1995.  The Company has agreed to sell the property and,
          subject to obtaining a zoning variance from the City of Baltimore,
          expects to consummate the sale prior to the end of the third quarter. 
          The agreement will expire in July 1996 if the variance has not been
          obtained.

     (e)  A combined commercial and residential building in Rome owned by OAM. 
          The two-story building occupies approximately 1,100 square meters. The
          commercial portion (the basement, ground floor and access ramp) is
          rented to a Guzzi dealership pursuant to a long-term lease. The first
          floor is rented for residential purposes, and contains approximately
          152 square meters of space. The Company is attempting to dispose of
          the property during the current fiscal year at not less than book
          value.

     (f)  Offices aggregating 480 square meters in Milan, Italy, used by
          Finprogetti Servizi, Finprogetti Investimenti Immobiliari and T.I.M.
          are leased from an entity affiliated with Francesco Pugno Vanoni, the
          Chairman of the Board of the Company, and his brother, at a cost of
          Lit. 130,000,000 ($82,000) in 1995 under a lease expiring on August
          31, 2000. The rental is believed to be comparable to rents paid for
          similar facilities elsewhere in Milan.

     (g)  Warehouse, offices and surrounding land aggregating 63,874 square
          meters in Cologne, Italy. Approximately 80% of the 22,122 square meter
          office and warehouse space is rented to a single tenant at an annual
          rental of Lit. 1,280,000,000 ($806,000) and negotiations are
          proceeding to rent the remainder of the space to the tenant. The
          Company is negotiating the disposition of the property, which is
          encumbered by a Lit. 14,546 million ($9,160,000) mortgage.

     (h)  Unimproved land aggregating 2,539,020 square meters in Cagliari,
          Italy. The Company, through Finprogetti Immobiliari, owns an 80%
          interest therein, and is exploring its disposition. An unaffiliated
          third party has acquired an option to purchase the Company's interest
          on or before June 30, 1996 for Lit. 10,600,000,000 ($6,675,000) less
          outstanding debt.

     (i)  Industrial and commercial holdings and additional surrounding land
          aggregating 66,301 square meters in Bergamo, Italy. The Company owns,
          directly or indirectly through its Finprogetti subsidiaries, a 66.7%
          interest in the property which is available for development but is
          essentially unused. The sites include six structures which date from
          the 17th century. The Company is currently negotiating to dispose of
          this property and related debt of Lit. 4,716 million.

     (j)  Offices aggregating 150 square meters in Brescia, Italy used by
          Finproservice S.p.A. at an annual rental of Lit. 16,000,000 ($9,901)

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings
- ------    -----------------

     A shareholder has commenced a litigation in federal court seeking to compel
the Board of Directors to hold a shareholders meeting relating to the 1993 sale
of Maserati to Fiat. The Company believes the action is without merit, and, in
any event, will be rendered moot by the expected ratification of such sale by
the shareholders at the forthcoming shareholder's meeting.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation in the normal
course of business, Management does not believe, based on the advice of its
legal advisors, that the final settlement of such litigation will have an
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position as at December
31, 1995.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
        Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
        ----------------------------------------------

General
- -------

     The acquisition of T.I.M. as part of the Finprogetti transaction enables
the Company to apply that subsidiary's management skills to "turn around"
troubled companies, enhancing their value.  The significant progress achieved at
Moto Guzzi at which an operating loss of only Lit. 45,000,000 ($28,000) was
realized in 1995, bears witness to the importance of that transaction.  Based on
its 1996 production budget, Moto Guzzi's unit production and sales should
increase by 20% over 1995 levels.

     The acquisition of Lita S.p.A. at a price substantially below its book
value illustrates how a T.I.M. management engagement for a client can give rise
to an opportunistic investment.  Lita, a manufacturer of steel tubing, expects
to realize increases in production and revenues over 1995 levels of 50% and 73%
respectively.  Lita's 1996 operations will be material to the Company's
operations.

     T.I.M.'s management engagements frequently involve "turn around" plans
requiring financial restructurings.  Such restructurings frequently involve the
need for new capital, as well as the need for creditors to forgive debt or to
convert debt into equity.  Each such engagement affords the Company an
investment opportunity.  What distinguishes the company from other financial
investors is that the Company, in investing its capital, relies on its own
management skills rather than those of others.  The real estate holdings
acquired from Finprogetti, while currently constituting material assets on the
Company's balance sheet, are intended to be disposed of, with the net proceeds
to be utilized to make investments in companies to be managed by T.I.M.

     In reviewing the information that follows, the reader should think of the
Company as management and capital resources which are brought to bear through
the operation of and investments in troubled companies, with the objective of
realizing operating profits and investment gains. 
 
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Overview
- --------

     Net Sales

     Overall the Company has seen a growth of 38.7% in net sales in 1995 
compared to 1994 as follows:

     Organic Growth of motorcycle segment         30.4%
     Acquired businesses                          14.4%
     Disposed operations                          (5.9%)
























                                       19







<PAGE>







     Margins

     Underlying margins in the motorcycle business, the Company's largest,
increased to 15.1% in 1995 from 13.5% in 1994.  Margin growth has, however, been
contained by reserves and writeoffs for inventory and tooling resulting from
strategic decisions to concentrate on larger motorbikes and largely to abandon
the smaller "Moto Guzzi" and "Benelli" models.  The motorcycle business was
still in a turnaround phase at the end of 1995 and, while results achieved in
1995 are very encouraging, further work remains to put this business on a sound
"stand-alone" basis.  Margins in 1995 were also affected by a large increase in
product development costs from Lit. 197 million in 1994 to Lit. 861 million in
1995.

     Margins decreased slightly in 1994 compared to 1993, due largely to a
favorable reduction of obsolescence reserves in 1993 outweighing a small
improvement in the motorcycle business in 1994.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect an increase of
approximately Lit. 2,200 million (US $1,385,000), resulting from the Finprogetti
and Lita businesses acquired.  Direct transaction costs of Lit. 1,224 million
(US $771,000) were capitalized as part of the purchase cost but, more generally,
costs of reorganizing the Company's operating structure have added to expense in
1995 while the benefits will accrue to future periods.  The Company's new
operational structure, which was put in place in the second half of 1995, has a
higher cost than in prior periods which the Company will seek to recover from
bringing certain accounting and legal functions in-house, from retainer and
success fees from services to third parties and operating profits and investment
gains from Portfolio Companies.  

     There have also been small increases of administrative costs at Moto Guzzi
reflecting investment in personnel for new computer systems and a management
group to control outsourcing.  Reductions in selling, general and administrative
expenses in 1994 compared to 1993 largely reflect the efforts of T.I.M. in
reducing costs at Moto Guzzi during the early phase of that company's
turnaround.

     Interest Income and Expense

     Interest income in 1994 was significantly influenced by Lit. 2,976 million
($1,874,000) of imputed interest on the final installment of Lit. 27,000 million
due from Fiat for the sale of Maserati to Fiat in 1993 which was received on
January 1, 1995.

     Interest expense has also been significantly affected by the Finprogetti
and Lita acquisitions which have resulted in an increase of approximately Lit.
1,100 million of interest expense in the six months since acquisition,
principally from real estate loans.  External interest expense relative to Moto
Guzzi has also increased over 1994, due mainly to build-up of 




















                                       20







<PAGE>






inventory levels.   Interest expense in 1994 declined from 1993 due to disposal
of debt and advances from banks relating to the disposition of Maserati.

     Taxation

     The Lit. 420 million tax charge on operating losses from continuing
operations of Lit. 6,110 million appears as anomalous.  It results from the fact
that most of the Company's operations are in Italy where companies are taxed on
their individual results without the possibility of filing consolidated returns.
The Company's corporate and tax structure will be examined in 1996 to seek to
improve tax efficiency.

     Discontinued operations

     In May 1993, the Company completed the disposition of its remaining equity
interest in its Maserati S.p.A. subsidiary.  Maserati, which manufactured
Maserati and Innocenti automobiles, had been the Company's most significant
industry segment until its disposition.

     Net Loss

     The principal reasons for the increased loss in 1995 compared to 1994 are 
as follows:  (1) Management made a strategic decision to focus Moto Guzzi 
production on a small number of large, high priced models, resulting in 
increases in inventory reserve and write-offs of tooling of approximately 
Lit. 1,800 million ($1,134,000) and research and development expenses for new 
models which was more than Lit. 600 million ($378,000) above 1994's level; 
(2) the Company incurred interest expense associated with the real estate 
acquired from Finprogetti of approximately Lit. 1,000 million ($630,000), and 
exchange losses of approximately Lit. 900 million ($567,000) arising from a 
domestic currency swap related to the planned self-tender and from short term 
intercompany advances from subsidiaries. 

     The loss of Lit. 3,277 million in 1994, compared to Lit. 6,736 million in
1993, declined as a result of the commencement of the turnaround at Moto Guzzi
since T.I.M. managers took charge in May 1994, and net interest benefits arising
from the proceeds from the sale of Maserati.

     Operating loss       (45)      (632)                 (846) 



     Net sales exclude sales of parts from Moto Guzzi to its spare parts
distribution subsidiary.  Operating loss is total revenues less operating
expenses, excluding interest, corporate expenses and other income/(expense).

     Net Sales and Orders

     Units sold increased to 5,266 in 1995 up from 4,278 in 1994 (excluding
clearance of old Benelli inventory), with significant growth in the sales of the
Company's larger and more expensive models (over 750 cc), where sales increased
to 4,800 units from 4,149 units.  Moto Guzzi increased prices of its various
models twice in 1995, with such increases aggregating approximately 9% on
average for domestic sales Italy and for export sales invoices in lire and 4% in
respect of export sales to the United States, which are invoiced in US dollars. 
Unit sales in 1994 improved 28% from 1993 unit sales.

     Sales in 1995 of Moto Guzzi motorcycles to Italian and foreign government
bodies amounted to 16.2% of total motorcycle sales revenues (1994 - 17.7%). 
While sales to government bodies in Italy are significant as a whole to Italian
sales, sales to no single government agency are significant.

     The strong growth in motorcycle sales must be viewed in the light of
production capacity restraints.  Orders in 1995 were in excess of production
capacity.  Orders for 1996 delivery also exceed current production capacity and
the Company expects it will again be unable fully to satisfy demand for its
motorcycles in the current year.  The Company has drawn up a sales and
production plan for 1996 based on supplying strategic markets and customers for
approximately 6,400 motorcycles.  Orders received for the current fiscal year,
as in prior years, are subject to cancellation by the purchaser(s) without
penalty.

     Margins

     Underlying margins, excluding the effects of non-recurring items and 
research and development expenditure, have improved from 13.5% in 1994 to 
15.1% in 1995. Reported margins for 1995, however, have been contained to only 
11.3% as a result of approximately Lit. 1,800 million of non-recurring reserves 
and write-offs of inventory and tooling resulting from the strategic decision to
concentrate on larger motorbikes and largely abandon the smaller "Moto Guzzi"
and "Benelli" models and increased research and product development expenditures
of Lit. 861 million compared to Lit. 197 million in 1994.

     The increase in underlying margins in 1995 results from generally favorable
selling price increases compared to unit cost increases.  Unit production costs
have benefitted from increased volumes and reduced per unit absorption of fixed
costs, but have been affected by inflation price increases of 4.8%, increased
labor costs from pay increases and high overtime levels and increased
outsourcing which alone has caused a 1.2% cost increase.  Export sales continued
to reflect lower margins than domestic Italian sales.

     The Company's plan is to continue to increase outsourcing as this will
enable higher volumes which are expected to more than compensate the higher cost
of externally manufactured components.

     Raw Material Prices

     A significant element of the raw material unit price increase in 1995 over
1994 of 4.8% has been in respect of purchased aluminum components which
increased in price by approximately 30%, mainly due to the increased price of
aluminum on world markets.  There have been no other significant raw material
price changes other than increases in line with inflation.

     The Company's decision to outsource a larger number of components in 1995
has had a negative impact on unit prices of approximately 1.2%, compared to
1994.

     Labor Costs

     Annualized labor costs, based on data through December 31, 1995, were
approximately 17% higher than in 1994 in the aggregate due to the engagement of
additional personnel (357 compared to 322), pay increases and increased
overtime.  Overtime hours amounted to 9.6% of total hours in 1995 compared to
5.9% in 1994.  Hourly labor costs increased approximately 3.4% in 1995 as a
result of pay rises of 2.5% and a bonus for reaching production targets of
approximately 0.9%.

     Two national strikes in 1994 cost 3,217 production hours.  There were no
strikes or work stoppages in 1995.

     Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased from Lit. 4,931
million in 1994 to Lit. 6,378 million ($4,016,000) in 1995.  This includes an
exceptional bad debt expense of Lit. 425 million ($268,000) and exchange losses
of Lit. 338 million ($218,000) as well as investments in personnel for planned
changes in information management systems and a new work group to coordinate all
aspects of outsourcing.

     Operating Loss

     As a result of increased revenues, increased margins and increased
productivity, Moto Guzzi reduced its operating loss significantly from 1994
levels, achieving a virtual break even operating result.

     Impact of Changing Prices and Exchange Rates

     Inflation continues to have an impact on the motorcycle business.  As noted
above, aluminum component prices increased by approximately 30% in 1995,
compared to 1994, mainly due to the increased metal commodity price.  Overall
unit material cost increases were approximately 6.2% and labor unit cost
increases were 3.2%.

     Both raw material costs and export selling prices are affected by exchange
rates.  Approximately 67% by units and 65.3% by sales are represented by exports
which are denominated in lire except for sales to the United States, which are
denominated in U.S. dollars and are not significant to overall sales.  Exchange
rates were relatively stable in 1995 against other major currencies.

     To the extent permitted by competition, the company seeks to pass its
increased costs from changing prices on to its customers by increasing selling
prices.  Currently, the Company is still benefitting from the devaluation of the
Lire in 1993, following its exit from the European Exchange Mechanism and has
been able to pass on cost increases in 1995 in its selling prices.

     The Company's properties were acquired many years ago and the depreciation
charges are significantly lower than if they were based on current prices. 
Other plant and machinery will be replaced over future years at higher costs
with higher depreciation charges which, in many cases, may be offset by
technological improvements.  The Company accounts for inventories on the last-
in-first-out (LIFO) method, under which the cost of sales reported in the
financial statements approximates current costs and thus provides a closer
matching of revenues and costs in periods of increasing costs.

     Operating profit/(loss) is total revenues less operating expenses,
excluding interest, corporate expenses and other income/(expense).

     General

     Lita S.p.A. is located in Torino and is specialized in the production of
plain and perforated high frequency welded tubes destined for the autovehicle
sector (65%), furniture (14%), white goods (9%) and other minor market sectors
(12%).  Products included aluminized steel welded tubes, aluminum clad steel
tubes, cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel welded tubes in various shapes (round,
rectangular, oval, square etc) from 10 - 65mm diameter and sold both in sections
of 6 m. (industry standard) and other lengths to meet particular client
requirements.  Production takes place in a factory of approximately 10,000 m2
which is owned by the subsidiary's founding family.  Annual production capacity
(two shifts) is approximately 15,000 tons.

     T.I.M. has worked with Lita since 1994 in preparation for it becoming
autonomous.  It was previously owned by a multinational group.  As a result of
the previous owners policy, Lita did not export, volumes had constantly reduced
since 1993 and customers had been lost as its production declined.  Most of the
customers lost in 1994 have now been regained, supplier relationships re-
established and the companies image in the market restored.

     Net sales

     The results of Lita S.p.A. are included in operations since July 26, 1995. 
Considering the shut-down for most of August, net sales represent approximately
4 months results.  Total net sales for fiscal 1995 amounted to Lit. 14, 541
million.

     Operating Profit

     The results of Lita in the limited period since acquisition must be
considered very satisfactory, considering that these are after fees paid to
T.I.M. of Lit. 184 million.

























                                       25

     Lita is autonomously financed by credit lines secured on trade receivables
and, accordingly, its positive results can be directly compared with the Lit.
615 million investment made in July 1995.

Real Estate
- -----------

    The Company's real estate operations were acquired from Finprogetti in 
1995. The Company does not plan to remain engaged in the segment on a long 
term basis.

     Summary Information (in millions of lire)

                                                     1995 (six months)

     Operating profit/(loss) is total revenues less operating expenses,
excluding interest, corporate expenses and other income/(expense).

     Rental income

     Rental income is in respect of one commercial property, Cologne,
approximately 80% of which is rented to a multinational company at an annual
rental of Lit. 1,280 million and income from a parking concession in Genoa. 
Rentals from Cologne amounted to Lit. 690 million and from the parking
concessions, Lit. 80 million in the six months to December 31, 1995.  Rentals
for Cologne are indexed to the cost of living index and the rental agreement
expires in 1988.  Other properties, described briefly below, are under
development or awaiting development and have no operating income.

     Profitability

     The real estate business is not currently profitable due to depreciation,
real estate taxes and company administration costs exceeding rental income.

     Development and Sale Prospects

     The Company is seeking to dispose of two of its properties before the end
of the second quarter, with particular concern to dispose of the related
mortgage debt liabilities.  Negotiations are at an advanced stage, though
currently there is no certainty that the transactions described below will be
completed.

     The Company expects to sell its 66.7% owned investment in land and
contiguous industrial areas in Bergamo to its 25% affiliate, Domer S.p.A., at
book value in exchange for a purchase consideration comprised of loan notes
payable and assumption of debt due in 1996 of Lit. 4,716 million.

     The Company is seeking to sell all or a portion of its 100% interest in
Cologne at book value, also to Domer S.p.A. or Interim S.p.A.   The finance
structure for such transaction has yet to be agreed.  In the second case,
Interim would assume responsibility for payments due on related mortgage debt
through 1996.

     The Company will examine disposal opportunities of its remaining real
estate property, comprising undeveloped land in Sardinia, following expiration
or exercise of an option held by a third party (in an amount above the carrying
value of the property) which option expires on June 30, 1996.

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

     Corporate Resources and Commitments

     The Company has approximately Lit. 24,100 million ($15,200,000) of cash and
Lit. 17,100 million ($10,705,000) of investments in certificates of deposit and
other similar securities as at December 31, 1995.  A tax receivable of
approximately Lit. 5,200 million ($3,275,000) has been reimbursed to the Company
since December 31, 1995.

     Approximately Lit. 16,200 million ($10,200,000) of the investments are held
as security for a bank letter of credit issued to guarantee repurchase at a
price of $11.27 per share by the Company of 776,520 shares formerly owned by the
ex-Chairman of the Company, Mr. De Tomaso and now held by a trust.  At the
exchange rates in effect on December 31, 1995, the total dollar liability is
less than Lit. 14,000 million ($8,816,000) and the Company is seeking to release
the excess security.

     The Company plans to conduct a redemption offer to purchase up to 80% of
the shares held of record by each of its public shareholders at $12.26. 
Shareholders representing 66.55% of outstanding stock as at December 31, 1995
have agreed not to participate.  It is anticipated that the redemption offer
will be initiated before the end of the second quarter of 1996.  

     The following proforma analysis shows the effects on cash, investments and
shareholder's equity if the planned redemption offer is accepted by 100% of
those shareholders entitled to participate and the commitment to purchase the
shares formerly owned by Mr. De Tomaso were effected as at December 31, 1995:

     Apart from the Italian real estate properties and tax refund discussed
above, the Company expects to sell a property owned by its closed Maserati
distributor in Baltimore for a net price of approximately Lit. 1,750 million
($1,100,000) in the second quarter of 1996 and plans to undertake a public
offering of its securities which it hopes to consummate, if at all, before the
end of the third quarter of the current year.

     Management is confident that the Company's current liquid assets and
liquidable assets are more than adequate to enable the Company to meet all of
its intended obligations in the current fiscal year, including providing cash
for operations and its planned self-tender.  Management intends that the net
proceeds of its planned public offering of securities, if consummated, will be
used to fund opportunistic investments arising from its management engagements.

     Other corporate matters

     On January 1, 1995, the Company received the final installment of Lit.
27,000 million ($17,003,000) from the sale of its Maserati subsidiary in 1993. 
Lit. 23,750 million had been received in 1994 from this sale and was applied to
finance investments in securities and reductions in advances from banks. 
Proceeds (advances) in 1994 had largely been applied to offset negative
operating cash flows of Maserati prior to its sale and in Moto Guzzi.

     The Company received Lit. 8,204 million in 1995 from shares issued in
respect of the Finprogetti acquisition and paid Lit. 5,000 million to repurchase
shares formerly owned by its former Chairman, Mr. Alejandro De Tomaso.  Both
these cash movements are only a part of larger transactions and reference is
made to Note 3 of Notes to the Financial Statements, below, and Item 1 of the
Company's 10-K, above, for a complete description.

     Tax receivables for value added taxes and taxes on income amounting to
approximately Lit. 14,500 million (of which Lit. 5,150 were acquired in the
Finprogetti transaction) have represented a significant drain on liquidity
during 1993 to 1995.  Approximately Lit. 5,200 million has been received in
January 1996 and will be applied to offset corporate expenses and to the planned
redemption offer.  The timing of receipt of further amounts is uncertain.

     Other corporate assets and liabilities include finance receivables and
payables acquired as part of the Finprogetti acquisition.  The Company intends
not to enter into new finance transactions through the acquired Finprogetti
subsidiary with third parties and expects that these balances will rapidly
reduce in 1996 with no significant net inflows from or outflows to support these
operations.

     Corporate expenses, less interest receivable

     The Company's corporate expenses, less corporate income from treasury
management and recharge of services to third parties has given rise to
significant negative cash flow in 1995 and 





















                                       28

corporate net of services invoiced to subsidiaries and third parties, will give
rise to negative cash flow in 1996.  

     Corporate expenses, at a lower level, in 1994 were largely covered by cash
flows from operations.

     Real estate

     The major effects on liquidity and capital resources of real estate
activities derive from principal repayments of loans and interest on such loans.
In 1995, since acquisition in July 1995, there were negative cash flows of
approximately Lit. 2,000 million principally as a result of loan repayments and
interest.

     Of the loans secured on the Company's real estate investments as at
December 31, 1995, Lit. 9,550 million (relative to the Cologne and Broseta
properties) is repayable in 1996.  As noted above, the Company is seeking to
dispose of both of these properties before the end of the second quarter and,
thereby to eliminate these obligations.

     If the Cologne property is not disposed of then the Company estimates that
net cash outflows for the real estate sector will total approximately Lit. 5,000
million in 1996, largely due to current loan payments.  

     Operating subsidiaries

     Working Capital

     Moto Guzzi's working capital increased significantly at December 31, 1995
over December 31, 1994 as a result of a buildup of inventory.  The buildup was
the outgrowth of Moto Guzzi's strategic decision significantly to increase
component outsourcing to increase productivity.  Management believes that 1995
year end inventory levels as a percentage of 1995 revenues (37%) is higher than
optimal.  The 1996 outsourcing budget contemplates that by the end of the 1996
fiscal year, inventory will fall below 30% of expected revenues.

     In 1995, the Company rearranged loans of Lit. 4,151 million in default as
at December 31, 1994, along with accrued interest and exchange movements for
part of the loan denominated in ECU, into a renegotiated loan facility of Lit.
5,248 million repayable in installments over five years.  Trade credit
facilities, primarily lines of credit for bank advances against account
receivables have also been arranged and Moto Guzzi has total facilities of Lit.
18,300 million as at March 1996, as well as import/export facilities.  In total,
facilities are sufficient for planned operations, though not for significant
capital investment (see below).

     A capital increase of Moto Guzzi by way of waiver of non-interest bearing
intercompany debt was also made in 1995.  This covered accumulated local losses
and increased the share capital by approximately Lit. 6,000 million.

The Company will also record a profit for local accounting purposes for 1995.
While not affecting consolidated reported results, these changes and results 
have given increased respectability and access to credit in Italy to the 
Company.

     The Company is actively seeking financing for a capital expenditure
programme which is an important part of Moto Guzzi's longer-term turnaround
plan.  Currently, such financing has not been arranged.

     Lita, the steel tubing subsidiary, is autonomously financed and has access
to bank advances against trade receivables and unsecured bank borrowings. 
Facilities at December 31, 1995 amounted to Lit. 6,000 million against which
Lit. 3,425 million of advances had been drawn.

De Tomaso Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1995




1.   BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

De Tomaso Industries Inc. is incorporated in the United States but operates
primarily in Italy, managing troubled and underperforming Italian companies.  It
provides temporary management services to third parties and its subsidiaries
which operate in three industry segments: the manufacture and distribution of
"Moto Guzzi" brand motorcycles in Italy, Europe and elsewhere in the world; the
manufacture and distribution of steel tubes for the automotive and furniture
markets; and the development and sale of commercial real estate property.
Information on the Company's operations by segment and geographic area are
included in Notes 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements.

The primary financial statements are shown in Italian lire because all of the
Company's material operating entities are based and operate entirely in Italy.
Translation of lire amounts into U.S. Dollar amounts is included solely for the
convenience of the readers of the financial statements and has been made at the
rate of Lit. 1,588 to US $1, the approximate exchange rate at December 31, 1995.
It should not be construed that the assets and liabilities, expressed in US
dollar equivalents, can actually be realized in or extinguished by US dollars at
that or any other rate.

In these Financial Statements, the word "Company" is used to denote De Tomaso
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.


2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority owned subsidiaries.  Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

     Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these assumptions.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     Foreign currency translation

The financial statements of non Italian entities have been translated from the
applicable functional currency to Italian lire using the year-end exchange rate
for balance sheet items and the average exchange rate for the year for statement
of operation items.  The translation differences resulting from the change in
exchange rate from year to year have been reported separately as a component of
shareholder's equity.

     Foreign currency transactions

Transactions, receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency are recorded at the exchange rate in effect on the
transaction date.  Such receivables and payables are adjusted to current
exchange rates as of the date paid or the balance sheet date, whichever is
earlier.  Gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

     Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

     Revenue recognition

Revenues from sale of  products are recorded  upon shipment, which is  generally
when title passes.

     Research and development

The Company's motorcycle  business is continuously engaged  in company-sponsored
programs  of product  improvement  and  development.   Other  businesses do  not
conduct research and development activities.  Research and development costs are
expensed as they are incurred.

Aggregate 1995  research  and development  expenditures  were Lit.  861  million
($542,000)  compared to Lit. 197 million in 1994,  and Lit. 409 million in 1993.
Of the 1995 expenditure, approximately

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Lit. 602 million  ($379,000) was in respect of the development of  models whose
production is planned to commence in 1996.

     Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined
principally by the last in, first out (LIFO) method applying average cost of the
year to increases in inventory quantities. If inventories had been determined by
the lower of cost or market value using the first in, first out (FIFO) methods,
which approximates current cost, inventories would have been greater by
approximately Lit. 2,000 million in 1995 and Lit. 4,900 million in 1994.

Valuation reserves included in the inventory balances were Lit. 6,612 million
($4,164,000) and Lit. 5,451 million as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

     Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

     Goodwill and other intangibles

On the purchases of businesses or other assets, the excess of purchase cost over
fair value of assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill and is amortized on a
straight line basis over a period determined by the Company taking into
consideration the nature of the business or assets acquired. Goodwill in the
balance sheet as at December 31, 1995 relative to the Finprogetti acquisition is
being amortized over 10 years. Where the fair value of assets acquired is higher
than the purchase price, then the excess is applied to reduce firstly the long-
term intangible assets acquired, then other long-term assets and fixed assets.

Trademarks and other intangibles, in respect of the Company's temporary
management subsidiary, are being amortized over 10 years. Concession rights,
included in other assets (Note 5), are amortized over the life of the
concession.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     Real estate for sale

It is the Company's intention to sell its real estate portfolio. Properties are
valued at estimated market value, allowing for depreciation through to the
expected dates of sales. In the absence of definite contracts for sale, no
amounts have been included in current assets at December 31, 1995.

     Marketable and other securities and investments

Marketable and other securities and investments consist primarily of fixed
income investments which cannot be readily sold using established markets. Such
securities are carried at fair value which approximates cost plus accrued
interest. Lit. 15,000 million of such amounts are deposited as security in
respect of the Company's commitment to repurchase the shares which were
previously owned by its former Chairman (see Notes 3 and 15). At December 31,
1994, there were marketable securities included for Lit. 5,000 million in 
respect of government bonds which could be readily sold using established 
markets and which were valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximated 
market value.

     Termination indemnities

All employees of the Company's Italian subsidiaries are entitled to receive
severance pay in accordance with the terms of applicable national labor law and
contracts. The liability for severance pay is accrued for service to date and is
payable immediately on termination. The liability is calculated in accordance
with the individual employee's length of service, employment category and
compensation and is adjusted annually by a cost of living index provided by the
Italian Government. There is no vesting period or funding requirement associated
with the liability. The liability recorded in the balance sheet is the amount
that the employee would be entitled to if the employee separates immediately.

     Income taxes

Income taxes are provided by each entity included in the consolidation in
accordance with local laws. Deferred income taxes have been provided using the
liability method in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 Accounting for Income
Taxes.

     Statements of cash flow

The cash flows for the roll-over of maturing fixed-term securities into new 
securities is included in the caption "Net Decrease/(Increase) in Investments" 
in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Advances from banks arise 
primarily under the Company's short-term lines of credit with its banks. These 
short-term obligations are payable on demand. The cash flows for these items 
are included in the caption "Net increase/(decrease) in advances from bank" in 
the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

     Net income/(loss) per common share

Net income/(loss) per common share is based on the average number of shares of
common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the years.
All outstanding convertible preferred stock of the Company (which were converted
during 1995) were considered to be common stock equivalents and were considered
anti-dilutive for 1994.

     Reclassifications

Comparative figures for 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform with 
1995 presentation.

     Impact of recently issued Accounting standards

In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.
Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are
expected to be disposed of.

The Company will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on
current circumstances, does not believe that the effects of adoption will be
material.

3.   ACQUISITIONS AND PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK

     Finprogetti acquisition

On July 17, 1995, effective July 1, 1995, pursuant to the terms of the
"Finprogetti Agreement" the Company acquired from Finprogetti S.p.A. (an Italian
entity) all of that company's equity interests in its principal operating
subsidiaries and a tax receivable of Lit. 5,150 million in exchange for shares
of the Company. The operating subsidiaries comprised TIM, a temporary management
company specialized in the "turnaround" of troubled and underperforming Italian
and foreign companies, subsidiaries holding Italian real estate buildings and
concession rights and a leasing/factoring company, Finproservice. As part of the
same transaction, the Company acquired the minority interest in TIM from Dott.
Albino Collini, its founder and CEO. Under the terms of the Finprogetti
Agreement, the final number of the Company's shares to be issued was conditional
on the purchase before September 30, 1995 by Finprogetti S.p.A., or its
shareholders or third parties directed by it, of a specified number of shares in
the Company at a stipulated price of Lit. 20,106.73 ($12.26 at then-current 
exchange rates) per share. After the receipt of cash of Lit. 8,204 million 
(approximately U.S. $5,000,000) for the subscription to 408,008 shares, the 
Company adjusted the number of shares to be given so that 1,922,652 shares were 
issued to effect the acquisition from Finprogetti S.p.A., in addition to the 
shares issued in exchange for cash. Of the total number of shares issued of 
2,330,660 for the acquisition from Finprogetti, including the subsequent 
purchase of 408,008 shares, 248,673 are to be held in escrow pending 
realization by the Company of the tax receivable of Lit. 5,150 million that 
was included in the assets acquired.

The Lit 39,447 million total purchase price reported in the balance sheet to
effect the Finprogetti Agreement reflects Lit. 38,223 million (Lit. 16,400 per
share; U.S.$10.00 per share) assigned to the 2,330,660 shares issued plus costs
of Lit. 1,224 million incurred in connection with the acquisition. The
acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the
purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities
assumed based on the fair values at the date of the acquisition. The purchase
price was allocated as follows:

                                          US$'000      Lire m.

3.  ACQUISITIONS AND PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK (Continued)

The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair values of the net assets
acquired has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized in accordance
with the Company's policy. Results of the Finprogetti companies are included in
operations from July 1, 1995 and the amount of goodwill amortization for fiscal
year 1995 was Lit. 77 million.

    Lita acquisition

On July 25, 1995, the Company acquired Lita S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of
steel tubes for the motor and furniture industries for cash in the amount of
Lit. 615 million ($387,000). The fair value of the assets received was Lit.
1,649 million ($1,038,000) in excess of the purchase price. This excess has been
allocated to reduce the carrying value of property, plant and equipment by Lit.
1,482 million ($933,000) and other non-current assets by Lit. 167 million
($105,000). A valuation allowance was established against the deferred tax asset
arising from the adjustment of the book basis of the assets. When realized the
tax benefit will be credited to income.

    Purchase of treasury stock

In April 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Alejandro De
Tomaso (DeTomaso Agreement), the then Chairman of the Board, under which the
Company would repurchase Mr. De Tomaso's 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and
480,304 shares of common stock at a price of Lit. 18,400 per share, converted
into dollars at the exchange rate in effect on closing date of Lit. 1,637.

Prior to the closing of that transaction, Mr. De Tomaso conveyed such shares,
subject to the DeTomaso Agreement, by gift. The shares are currently held by a 
trust.

Performance under the De Tomaso Agreement was conditional upon the consummation
of the Finprogetti acquisition. Contemporaneously with the closing of that
transaction, 703,774 of the preferred and common shares formerly owned by Mr. De
Tomaso were delivered to the Company in exchange for cash of Lit. 5,000 million
and properties (a hotel and a museum collection of Maserati vehicles and
engines) that had a book carrying value of Lit. 6,629 million. The remaining
preferred and common shares formerly owned by Mr. De Tomaso have been exchanged
for an equal number of shares of newly issued common stock, which the Company is
required to register for sale at the request of the holder.

3.  ACQUISITIONS AND PURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK (Continued)

The value of Lit. 11,826 million (Lit. 16,804 per share; $10.26 per share)
placed on the Treasury stock acquired in 1995 pursuant to the DeTomaso Agreement
represents the book value of the consideration, including taxes payable of Lit
197 million, given in exchange for the treasury stock and no net gain or loss 
has been recognized on the transaction.

Under the terms of the De Tomaso Agreement, if the remaining 776,530 shares are
not sold by their current owner prior to July 17, 1998 (the third anniversary of
the Finprogetti transaction), the Company is committed to acquire the shares at
$11.27 per share. The Company has obtained a letter of credit to guarantee
payment of the repurchase price which is collateralized by certain investment
securities owned by the Company and reported in the balance sheet in the amount
of Lit. 16,518 million. The agreement also provides that (a) at any time prior
to July 17, 1998, the Company may offer to buy any part or all of such shares at
$11.27 per share and (b) if such an offer made by the Company is not accepted,
the Company's commitment to buy the remaining 776,530 shares is reduced by the
number of shares stipulated in the offer that was not accepted. These 776,530
shares were recorded on the balance sheet at July 17, 1995 at estimated market
value of $10.00 (Lit. 16,400 per share) as shares subject to repurchase and are
not included in shareholders' equity. The difference between $10.00 and the
redemption price of $11.27 is being amortized over the period to July 17, 1998.

    Proforma information

The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994, assuming the Finprogetti and Lita acquisitions and the repurchase
of shares from the former Chairman had been consummated as at January 1, 1994,
are as follows:

at January 1, 1994 as transactions between the entities acquired and their then
parent companies may not have occurred or may have occurred on different terms

All of the real property was acquired as part of the Finprogetti transaction.
Part of one building ready for sale is rented to a third party under an
operating lease agreement expiring in 1998. A mortgage over the building and a
lien over the rentals received has been given as security for this loan (see
Note 8). The Company is seeking to dispose of this property by the end of the
second quarter of 1996. Alternatively, a sale of a significant interest in the
property with proceeds sufficient to cover all debt repayments on related loans
in 1996 is being examined, again with the objective of completion within the end
of the second quarter of 1996.

4.  REAL ESTATE FOR SALE (Continued)

A building and contiguous industrial areas under development are mortgaged in
favor of a financial institution as collateral for a loan facility of Lit. 6,000
million, which has not yet drawn upon. Bank advances from another institution of
Lit. 4,716 million have been drawn down, secured by such loan facility and are
included in the short-term portion of real estate debt (see Note 8). The Company
has agreed in principle to sell its 66.7% interest in this property to its 25%
affiliate, Domer S.p.A. at book value. Closing of this transaction is expected
before the end of the second quarter.

Undeveloped land represents an area in Sardinia for development of hotel and
leisure facilities and is owned by the Company through an 80% interest in Grand
Hotel Bitia S.r.l. The minority shareholder has an option, expiring on June 30,
1996, to purchase the Company's interest at a price above carrying value. The
Company will examine disposal of this property following the exercise or expiry
of the outstanding option.

None of the proposed disposals have been finalized and, accordingly, no amounts
in respect of real estate are included in current assets.

A mortgage over the concession rights has been granted as collateral for certain
loans (see  Note 8). Tax  receivables represent amounts for  which reimbursement
has been requested. Current tax balances  for value added and other taxes  to be
utilized against  future liabilities are  included in current assets.  The times
for reimbursement  in Italy have, in the recent  past, invariably been in excess
of  12  months  and,  accordingly,  amounts for  which  reimbursement  has  been
requested  are not  classified  as  current assets.  Interest  accrues on  these
receivables at rates set from time to time by the Italian Government.

6.  ADVANCES FROM BANKS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

The operating subsidiaries of the Company have lines of credit arrangements with
a number of Italian banks. Under these, the Company, at December 31, 1995, could
have borrowed up to Lit. 18,550 million ($ 11,681,000). The line of credit
arrangements do not have termination dates and are periodically reviewed. At the
end of March 1996, facilities totalling Lit. 23,570 million had been arranged.
The average interest rate on advances from banks was approximately 12.75% and
12.9% at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Advances from banks for finance 
activities relate to factoring and leasing activities of a company acquired 
in the Finprogetti acquisition and are partly secured by guarantees
given by Finprogetti S.p.A. The average interest rate on these borrowings was
approximately 12.75% as at December 31, 1995. No significant new finance
transactions will be entered into and these activities and relative facilities
will gradually expire as individual positions are closed.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances have
been recorded for the deferred tax assets as management believes it more likely
than not that these assets will not be realized. Significant components of the 
Company's deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

10. CAPITAL STOCK

248,673 common stock shares issued as part of the Finprogetti acquisition (see
Note 3) do not have a right to vote until receipt of a Lit. 5,150 million tax
receivable that was included in the assets acquired.

The Company has entered into a commitment to repurchase shares from its ex-
Chairman in respect of 776,530 shares as described in Note 3 and 15.


11. STOCK OPTIONS

The Board of Directors of the Company have approved two share options plans for
1,300,000 shares in total, to be submitted to the forthcoming shareholder's
meeting for their approval.

The "1995 Non-Qualified Plan" provides for the grant of non-qualified stock
options for officers and key employees. Options over a total of 1,150,000 shares
have been authorized by the Board. Grants were made in 1995 (subject to approval
of the plans) of a total of 960,000 options at an exercise price of $12.26. The
options granted can be exercised as follows:

                           1996          228,000
                           1997          228,000
                           1998          228,200
                           1999          138,000
                           2000          138,000

Under the "1995 Director's Plan", 5,000 options will be granted annually to each
non-employee Director of the Company for each full year of service, reduced pro
rata for incomplete years of service. The exercise price is fixed as at a price
of $12.26 for 1995 and, for years after 1995, at the reported closing price of
the stock on January 2 of the following year.

When shareholders' approval is obtained, the Company will account for stock
options in accordance with APB No. 25 which requires recognition of compensation
expense when the fair value of the stock exceeds the exercise price.

The law firm of Morrison Cohen Singer & Weinstein, LLP, of which Howard E.
Chase, a Director of the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, was a member
until September 1, 1995, and to which he is now of counsel, was paid by the
Company and its subsidiaries in 1995 an aggregate of Lit. 1,327 million
($816,000 at the actual dollar amounts invoiced) in legal fees and disbursements
for services rendered. 

The law firm of which Mr. Garavaglia, a Director of the Company, is a member was

14. INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (Continued)

Identifiable assets for operating industry segments are those identifiable
assets used by those industry segments. There are no shared assets. Corporate
assets are represented by cash, investments, tax and other receivables,
financing of the operating industry segments and other assets in the course of
realization following the sale of the Company's Maserati business, disposed of
in 1993.


15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Planned self-tender offer

The Company plans to conduct a redemption offer to purchase up to 80% of the
shares held of record by each of its public shareholders at $12.26 per share.
Such shareholders own approximately 33.45% of the Company's outstanding stock at
December 31, 1995. Shareholders owning 66.55% of the outstanding stock as at
such date have agreed not to participate. It is anticipated that the redemption
offer will be initiated before the end of the second quarter of 1996. The
Company also has a commitment to purchase the shares formerly owned by Mr. De
Tomaso and now held by a trust, as described in Note 3.

The following proforma analysis shows the effects on cash, investments and
shareholder's equity if the planned redemption offer is all cash, is accepted by
100% of those shareholders entitled to participate and the commitment to
purchase the shares formerly owned by Mr. De Tomaso were effected as at December
31, 1995:

depending on the timing thereof, could provide additional cash for the planned
redemption offer, to meet its obligations arising in the ordinary course of

million in available cash.

The completion of the planned redemption offer, assuming 100% acceptance of an
all cash offer, will be dependant on realizing sufficient proceeds from the sale
of fixed assets and/or arranging adequate credit facilities.

    Other commitments

The Company has  no other material commitments other than for purchases of goods
for production or resale in the ordinary course of business.

    Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation in the normal course
of business. Management does not believe, based on the advice of its legal
advisors, that the final settlement of such litigation will have an adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position as at December 31, 1995.


16. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are
limited due to the large number of entities in the customer base. Sales to
governmental bodies in Italy are significant as a whole, but no single
government body represents more than 10% of net sales.

The Company is reducing the level of its finance activities acquired from
Finprogetti and does not intend to take on any significant new contracts.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, short and long investments with
various financial institutions of national standing in Italy and the United
States.

17.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not normally enter into foreign exchange contracts in the
normal course of its business. In 1995, the Company entered into a domestic
currency swap through March 1996 for US $10,000,000 in respect of its intention
to conduct a redemption offer, payable in US dollars, as discussed in Note 15.

    Off balance sheet risk

Unrealized losses arising through December 31, 1995 on the domestic currency
swap above, have been included in the financial statements as at December 31,
1995. In view of the imminence of the planned redemption offer, the Company 
is not planning to enter into any new arrangements.

As described in Notes 3 and 15, the Company has a commitment denominated in US
Dollars to repurchase shares formerly owned by its ex-Chairman, Mr. De Tomaso.
At the exchange rate at December 31, 1995, this commitment amounts to Lit.
13,897 million.

    Fair value of financial instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosure for financial instruments.

Cash and cash  equivalents:  the  carrying amount of  cash and cash  equivalents
reported by the Company approximates their fair value.

Short and long term debt: the carrying amount of the Company's borrowings under
its short-term credit arrangements, approximates their fair value. The fair
values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated using cash flow analyses,
based on the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements.

Fixed interest securities which have maturities from one to three years: fair
value for marketable quoted securities is based on market price and for non
marketable securities, is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on
similar investments available as at the balance sheet date.

There  are no significant differences between fair  value and carrying value for
any of the Company's financial instruments as at December 31, 1995.

Company, and except as set forth in Exhibit A.

                    (c)  The principal place of employment of Executive

best efforts to provide to Executive medical insurance with coverage reasonably
satisfactory to Executive, the cost thereof to be charged against Executive's
Salary. (f) In the event that the Company obtains group life and/or disability
insurance covering its executives generally, Executive shall be included under
such group plans.

          (g)  Subject to fulfillment of his duties hereunder, Executive shall
     be entitled to vacation time in accordance with the vacation policy of the
     Company.

          (h)  Executive shall be entitled to the same level of coverage (as

liability insurance policies, and insurance for its employees against claims
arising in connection with allegations of libel, if any, or other arrangements
as are available to senior executive officers and directors of the Company or
its Affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted by the existing By-Laws of any 



                                       2



<PAGE>



such company. Additionally, the Company shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of the
Company's incorporation, from and against all claims, demands, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) whatsoever or howsoever
incurred or sustained by Executive or his legal representatives in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not groundless, to which he or
his legal representatives may be made a party by reason of his being or having
been an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
This sub-section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

               (i)  The Executive shall be entitled to such additional benefits
as are set forth in Exhibit A.
                  
          4.   Confidentiality. 
               ----------------

               (a)  Executive shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, or
at any time following termination of this Agreement, directly or indirectly,
disclose or permit to be known (other than (i) as is reasonably required in the
regular course of his duties, including disclosures to the Company's advisors
and consultants, (ii) as required by law or (iii) with the prior written consent
of the Board of Directors), to any person, firm or corporation, any confidential
information acquired by him during the course of, or as an incident to, his
employment or the rendering of services hereunder, relating to the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, any client, investor, corporate partner, or joint
venturer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any corporation,
partnership or other entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the
Company or its subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Executive, by any of the
other persons or entities listed above, or in which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Executive, any of the other persons or
entities listed above, has a beneficial interest. Such confidential information

know-how, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, pricing policies,
employee lists, personnel policies, the substance of agreements with customers,
suppliers and others, marketing or dealership arrangements, servicing and
training programs and arrangements, customer lists and any other documents
embodying such confidential information. This confidentiality obligation shall
not apply to any confidential information which becomes publicly available other
than pursuant to a breach of this Section 4 by Executive.

               (b)  All information and documents relating to the Company and
its affiliates as hereinabove described shall be the exclusive property of the

          5.   Noncompetition; Noninterference.
               --------------------------------

          Executive agrees that during the Term of his employment by the Company
and during the period of the greater of (i) two years following the termination
of Executive's employment hereunder or (ii) the balance of the Term, (the
"Noncompetition Period"), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as owner,
partner, joint venturer, stockholder, employee, broker, agent, principal,
trustee, corporate officer, director, licensor, or in any capacity whatsoever
engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by, render any
consultation or business advice with respect to, or have any connection with
(collectively, a "Relationship"), any entity which provides services or intends
to provide services which are competitive with any services provided by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, to any customer, client or account of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or to any party which was a customer, client
or account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the Term
or to any prospective customer, client or account which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries has solicited or for which the Company has made a proposal,
during the 12 months preceding the commencement of the Noncompetition Period;
provided, however, that Executive may own any securities of any corporation
which is engaged in such business and is publicly owned and traded but in an
amount not to exceed at any one time one percent (1%) of any class of stock or
securities of such company and; provided, further, that Executive shall not be
prohibited from having a Relationship (after termination of Executive's
employment) with any subsidiary or division of any entity which does not engage
or propose to engage in any of the activities from which Executive is precluded
as set forth above, notwithstanding that subsidiaries or divisions of such
entity may be engaged in such activities (subject to Executive's continued
compliance with his confidentiality obligations contained in Section 4). In
addition, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, during the Noncompetition
Period, request or cause any suppliers or customers with whom the Company or any
of its subsidiaries has a business relationship to cancel or terminate any such
business relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or have a
Relationship with any company or business which solicits, interferes with or
entices from the Company any employee (or former employee) of the Company or of
any subsidiary of the Company or which employs any manager (or former manager)
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

          6.   Injunction and Enforceability of Covenants.
               -------------------------------------------

               (a)  If Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 9 hereof, the Company shall
have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically
enforced by any court having appropriate jurisdiction over the parties, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company.

               (b)  If any of the covenants contained in Section 4, 5 or 9
hereof, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of appropriate

                                        4

<PAGE>



jurisdiction over the parties, the same shall not affect the remainder of the
covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect without regard to the
invalid portions.

               (c)  If any of the covenants contained in Section 4, 5 or 9
hereof, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable by a court of
appropriate jurisdiction over the parties, because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable.

               (d)  The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5 and 9 hereof upon the courts
of any country, state or other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of
such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states
shall hold any such covenant wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of
such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such
determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief
provided above in the courts of any country, state or other jurisdiction within
the geographical scope of such other covenants, as to breaches of such covenants
in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to
each state being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent
covenants.

               (e)  The existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive
against the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained in Sections
4, 5 and 9 hereof, but such claim or cause of action shall be litigated
separately.

          7.   Termination.
               ------------

               (a)  The Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice
to Executive if Executive acts, or fails to act, in a manner that provides Cause
for termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" means (1) the
willful and continuing neglect by Executive of his duties or obligations
hereunder (other than breaches of the covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9
hereof which breaches are governed by clause (7) below); provided, however, that
any such neglect shall constitute "Cause" hereunder only if such neglect remains
uncured for a period of 30 days after written notice describing the same is
given to the Executive; and provided, further, that isolated, insubstantial or
nonmaterial neglect or failure shall not constitute Cause hereunder; (2) the
willful refusal by Executive to comply with the lawful instructions or
directions of the party to whom Executive reports hereunder, provided, however,
that any such refusal shall constitute "Cause" hereunder only if such
instructions or directions are in respect of matters which may be properly
required of Executive hereunder and only if such refusal continues for a period
of more than 5 days after written notice describing same is given to the
Executive; (3) Executive's conviction (which, through lapse of time or
otherwise, is not subject to appeal) of any felony under the laws of any country
or political subdivision thereof, involving theft, embezzlement or moral
turpitude; (4) Executive's performance of any act which would constitute a crime
or offense involving money or property
              


                                        5



<PAGE>



of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or would constitute a felony in the
jurisdiction in which such act occurred, regardless of whether or not the
Executive is prosecuted; (5) any attempt by Executive improperly to secure any
personal profit in connection with the business of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (6) chronic alcoholism or drug addiction; or (7) any breach by
Executive of the terms of Sections 4, 5 or 9 of this Agreement; provided such
breach continues uncured for 10 days after written notice of such breach is
given by the Company to Executive.

               (b)  Executive may terminate this Agreement on written notice to
the Company if any one or more of the following shall occur:

                    (1)  a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the
Company, which breach continues uncured for 30 days after written notice thereof
is first given;

                    (2)  a material breach by the Company of any other material
agreement with Executive, which breach continues for 30 days after written
notice thereof is first given.

               (c)  Executive's employment shall terminate upon:

                    (1)  Executive's death during the Term; provided, however,
that Executive's legal representatives shall be entitled to receive his Salary
through the last day of the month in which his death occurs.

                    (2)  Executive becoming physically or mentally disabled so
that he is unable substantially to perform his services hereunder for (a) a
period of 60 consecutive days, or (b) for shorter periods aggregating 120 days
during any twelve month period during the Term. Notwithstanding such disability
the Company shall continue to pay Executive his Salary through the date of such
termination.

                    (3)  As provided in Exhibit A.

               (d)  Upon any termination of Executive's employment hereunder for
any reason, with or without Cause, whether by the Company or by Executive,
Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions held by him as an
officer and/or director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

               (e)  All determinations of Cause by the Company pursuant to this
Section 7 and all determinations by the Company not to renew this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be made by the vote of a majority of the
entire Board of Directors. If the Executive disagrees with the Company's
determination that Cause exists, or if the Company disagrees with the
Executive's determination that he may terminate this Agreement under Section
7(b), then such determination shall be subject to review and resolution in
accordance with Section 13 and the Company shall continue to pay Executive all
amounts payable hereunder
                                        6

<PAGE>



while such disagreement is being resolved, provided that if the disagreement is
resolved adversely to the Executive, then Executive shall be required to repay
to the Company such amount as is so determined and provided further that the
Company shall not be obligated to make such payments while the disagreement is
being resolved unless the Executive delivers to the Company security for such
repayment obligation, reasonably satisfactory to the Board.
  
          8.   Salary Continuation. 
               ---------------------

          In the event that Executive's employment is terminated (i) by the 
Company at any time (other than at the end of the Term) for any reason which
would not constitute Cause (as defined above) (and other than disability or
death), which termination shall be on thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Executive or (ii) by the Executive under Section 7(b), the Company shall pay
Executive for a period equal to the remainder of the then current Term (such
period being herein referred to as the "Salary Continuation Period"), his Salary
at the then current rate, payable in such installments as the Company
customarily paid Executive, and continue to allow Executive to participate in
the Company's health insurance and disability insurance programs, if any, to the
extent permitted under such programs, during the Salary Continuation Period.
Executive shall not be obligated to seek or assume other employment, and shall
not otherwise be obligated to take any action to mitigate damages, nor shall the
amount of compensation paid to Executive from any other employment affect the
amount payable by the Company hereunder.

          9.   Inventions Discovered by Executive.
               -----------------------------------

          Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company any invention,
improvement, discovery, process, formula, or method or other intellectual
property, whether or not patentable, whether or not copyrightable, in the
Company's Field of Interest (collectively, "Inventions") made, conceived or
first reduced to practice by the Executive, either alone or jointly with others,
while performing services hereunder. Executive hereby assigns to the Company all
of his right, title and interest in and to any such Inventions. During and after
the Term, Executive shall execute any documents necessary to perfect the
assignment of such Inventions to the Company and to enable the Company to apply
for, obtain, and enforce patents and copyrights in any and all countries on such
Inventions. Executive hereby irrevocably designates the counsel to the Company
(or such other person as the Company may designate from time to time) as his
agent and attorney-in-fact to execute and file any such document and to do all
lawful acts necessary to apply for and obtain patents and copyrights and to
enforce the Company's rights under this Section. This Section 9 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

          10.  Indemnification.
               ----------------

          The Executive shall indemnify the Company, to the maximum extent 
permitted by applicable law, against all costs, damages and expenses incurred by
the Company as a result of the breach by Executive of his obligations contained
in this Agreement.

          11.  Representations and Agreements of Executive.

               (a)  Executive represents and warrants that he is free to enter
into this Agreement and to perform the duties required hereunder, and that there
are no employment contracts or understandings, restrictive covenants or other
restrictions, whether written or oral, preventing the performance of his duties

               (b)  Executive agrees to submit to a medical examination and to

                            DETOMASO INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                       AND
                           HOWARD E. CHASE (EXECUTIVE)



                  The following numbered paragraphs correspond to the numbered
paragraphs of the Employment Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

          1(a) The Executive shall be employed as President and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) to perform such duties commensurate with such office as
the Board shall reasonably direct him to perform, which duties shall be
consistent with the provisions of the By-Laws in effect on the date hereof that
relate to the duties of the CEO and the President. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Executive shall be responsible for the management of all
activities of the Company, including implementation of such Business Plan as the
Board of the Company may from time to time adopt. Executive acknowledges that
the Company's present corporate strategy is to increase the number of
shareholders of the Company and Executive shall use his reasonable efforts to
achieve such goal. The Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the
Company. The Executive shall also perform such services for the Company's
subsidiaries, consistent with the foregoing level of responsibility, as may,
from time to time, be designated by the Company. The Company acknowledges that
Executive has advised the Company that he intends to serve on an "of counsel"
basis to the law firm of which he was previously a partner, Morrison Cohen
Singer & Weinstein, LLP, which law firm is counsel to the Company, and the
Company consents thereto, provided that same does not interfere with the
performance of his duties hereunder.

          1(b) Executive further agrees to accept election and to serve
during all or any part of the Term as a director of the Company if elected to
such position by the shareholders of the Company, and of any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company if elected to such position by the Company, without
any compensation therefor other than that specified in this Agreement. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause Executive to be elected as a
director of the Company during the Term and shall include him in the management
slate for election as a director at every shareholders meeting during the Term
at which his term as a director would otherwise expire.

          2.   The initial period of the Term shall be five (5) years commencing
on the Effective Date.

          3(a) The Executive's base salary shall be at an annual rate of
$375,000, which amount shall automatically increase on each anniversary of the
Effective Date hereof by the percentage

increase during such then-ended 12 month period in the Consumer Price Index for
the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area.

          3(i) The Company shall make available to Executive the use of an
apartment or other suitable living accommodations in Milan, Italy, reasonably
acceptable to Executive, and all costs related thereto, including, without
limitation, rent, furniture and furnishings, and utilities shall be borne by the
Company.

          7(c)(3) If, on December 31, 1996 the Company's common stock is not
"publicly traded" (which shall mean that the common stock is included in the
NASDAQ interdealer quotation system, Small Capitalization or National, or listed
on a U.S. stock exchange), then unless on or before December 31, 1996, the
Company has filed such documents and/or taken such other action as is necessary
to cause such common stock to resume being publicly traded, the Company may, at
its option, terminate the Executive's employment hereunder by notice thereof
given not later than January 31, 1997, such termination to be effective as of
April 30, 1997; provided that the foregoing shall not apply if the Company has
"gone private" (as provided in Rule 13e-3 of the Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). If, during the 20 trading days preceding
December 31, 1997, the average of the last sale prices of the Company's common
stock as quoted on the NASDAQ interdealer quotation system or as reported by any
U.S. stock exchange on which the Company's common stock is listed, is less than
$12.50 per share, then the Company may, at its option, terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder by notice thereof given not later than January 31, 1998,
such termination to be effective on October 31, 1998; provided that if between
the date hereof and December 31, 1997 the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in
common stock or make a distribution in common stock, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding common stock, (iii) combine its outstanding common stock into a
smaller number of shares of common stock, (iv) effect any increase or decrease
in the number of outstanding shares of common stock without receipt of
consideration by the Company, or (v) issue by reclassification of its common
stock other securities of the Company, then such average quoted or listed last
sale price shall be adjusted to such per share price as would have been
applicable had the events described in clauses (i), (ii) (ii), (iv) and (v) not
occurred. The provisions of paragraph 5 (Noncompetition and Noninterference) and
of paragraph 8 (Salary Continuation) shall not be applicable to an employment
termination under this paragraph 7(c)(3).

any compensation therefor other than that specified in this Agreement. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause Executive to be elected as a

          3(a) The Executive's base salary shall be at an annual rate of

Sig. Francesco Pugno Vanoni



Dear Sig. Pugno Vanoni:

                  This letter shall confirm the agreements which have been
reached between you ("Director") and De Tomaso Industries, Inc. (the "Company")
as follows:

                  (1) For a period of 5 years beginning on November 1, 1995 you
shall hold yourself available to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of
the Company and, if requested, as a member of its Executive Committee. In any
year in which you make yourself available to so serve, you shall be entitled to
receive a salary at the rate of 80 million lira per annum. In any year in which
you do not make yourself available to so serve for any reason, including your
becoming disabled such that you would be unable to so serve, or if you are not
requested to so serve for "Cause" as defined below, you shall not be entitled to
receive such salary.

                  (2) In consideration of your agreement to make yourself
available as provided in paragraph 1 above, the Company confirms that its
Non-Qualified Stock Option Committee has granted to you on November 1, 1995 an
option under the Company's 1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to
purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$12.26 per share. Such options shall be exercisable to the extent of 8,000
options in the first year, 16,000 options in the second year, 24,000 options in
the third year, 32,000 options in the fourth year and 40,000 options in the
fifth year. If during such 5 year period i) you shall die, ii) you shall become
disabled such that you are unable to serve on the Board of Directors, or iii)
you are not elected to the Board of Directors for any reason, except for
"Cause", then your option shall become fully exercisable and may thereafter be
exercised for a limited permit of time, as provided in the Plan. If you are
dismissed from the Board of Directors for "Cause" then all option rights shall
terminate, as provided in the Plan.

Sig. Francesco Pugno Vanoni                                    November 1, 1995




          (3)  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" means (1)
the willful and continuing neglect by Director of his duties or obligations
hereunder (other than breaches of the covenants governed by clause (7) below);
provided, however, that any such neglect shall constitute "Cause" hereunder only
if such neglect remains uncured for a period of 30 days after written notice
describing the same is given to the Director; and provided, further, that
isolated, insubstantial or non-material neglect or failure shall not constitute
Cause hereunder; (2) the willful refusal by Director to comply with the lawful
instructions or directions of the party to whom Director reports hereunder,
provided, however, that any such refusal shall constitute "Cause" hereunder only
if such instructions or directions are in respect of matters which may be
properly required of Director hereunder and only if such refusal continues for a
period of more than 5 days after written notice describing same is given to the
Director; (3) Director's conviction (which, through lapse of time or otherwise,
is not subject to appeal) of any felony under the laws of any country or
political subdivision thereof, involving theft, embezzlement or moral turpitude;
(4) Director's performance of any act which would constitute a crime or offense
involving money or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or would
constitute a felony in the jurisdiction in which such act occurred, regardless
of whether or not the Director is prosecuted; (5) any attempt by Director
improperly to secure any personal profit in connection with the business of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, (6) chronic alcoholism or drug addiction; or
(7) (i) disclosure by the Director of any confidential information relating to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any client, investor, corporate
partner or joint venturer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (such as,
but not limited to, business affairs, proprietary technology, trade secrets,
patented processes, research and development data, know-how, market studies and
forecasts, competitive analyses, pricing policies, employee lists, personnel
policies, the substance of agreements with customers, suppliers and others,
marketing or dealership arrangements, servicing and training programs and
arrangements, customer lists and any other documents embodying such confidential
information) or, (iii) Director directly or indirectly engaging in or being
affiliated with any business activity with or for any entity which provides
services which are competitive with those provided by the Company or any of its
subsidiary, to any customer, client or account of the Company or any subsidiary;
provided such act continues uncured for 10 days after written notice of such
breach is given by the Company to Director.

                    We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial
relationship.

                                                    Very truly yours,

sustained by Executive or his legal representatives in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding, whether or not groundless, to which he or his legal
representatives may be made a party by reason of his being or having been an

sub-section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                    (i)       The Consultant shall be entitled to such

          5.   Non-Competition; Non-Interference.
               ----------------------------------

          Consultant agrees that during the Term and during the period of the
greater of (i) two years following the termination of Consultant's engagement
hereunder or (ii) the balance of the Term, (the "Non-Competition Period"),
Consultant shall not, and Consultant shall take all action required to insure
that Executive does not, directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, joint
venturer, stockholder, employee, broker, agent, principal, trustee, corporate
officer, director, licensor, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become
financially interested in, be employed by, render any consultation or business
advice with respect to, or have any connection with (collectively, a
"Relationship"), any entity which provides services or intends to provide
services which are competitive with any services provided by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, to any customer, client or account of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or to any party which was a customer, client or account of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the Term or to any
prospective customer, client or account which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries has solicited or for which the Company has made a proposal, during
the 12 months preceding the commencement of the Non-Competition Period;
provided, however, that Consultant and Executive may own any securities of any
corporation which is engaged in such business and is publicly owned and traded
but in an amount not to exceed at any one time one percent (1%) of any class of
stock or securities of such company and; provided, further, that Consultant and
Executive shall not be prohibited from having a Relationship (after termination
of Executive's employment) with any subsidiary or division of any entity which
does not engage or propose to engage in any of the activities from which
Consultant and Executive are precluded as set forth above, notwithstanding that
subsidiaries or divisions of such entity may be engaged in such activities
(subject to continued compliance with the confidentiality obligations contained
in Section 4). In addition, Consultant shall not, and Consultant shall take all
action required to insure that Executive does not, directly or indirectly,
during the Non-Competition Period, request or cause any suppliers or customers
with whom the Company or any of its subsidiaries has a business relationship to
cancel or terminate any such business relationship with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or have a Relationship with any company or business which
solicits, interferes with or entices from the Company any employee (or former
employee) of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company or which employs
any manager (or former manager) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

          6.        Injunction and Enforceability of Covenants.
                    -------------------------------------------

                    (a)       If Consultant or Executive commits a breach, or
threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 9
hereof, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of
this Agreement specifically enforced by any court


                                       4

<PAGE>






having appropriate jurisdiction over the parties, it being acknowledged and
agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury
to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the
Company.

               (b)  If any of the covenants contained in Section 4, 5 or 9
hereof, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of appropriate jurisdiction over the parties, the same
shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be
given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

               (c)  If any of the covenants contained in Section 4, 5 or 9
hereof, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable by a court of
appropriate jurisdiction over the parties, because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable.

               (d)  The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5 and 9 hereof upon the courts
of any country, state or other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of
such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states
shall hold any such covenant wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of
such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such
determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief
provided above in the courts of any country, state or other jurisdiction within
the geographical scope of such other covenants, as to breaches of such covenants
in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to
each state being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent
covenants.

               (e)  The existence of any claim or cause of action by Consultant
or Executive against the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants
contained in Sections 4, 5 and 9 hereof, but such claim or cause of action shall
be litigated separately.

          7.   Termination.
               ------------

               (a)  The Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice
to Consultant if Executive acts, or fails to act, in a manner that provides
Cause for termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" means
(1) the willful and continuing neglect by Executive of his duties or obligations
hereunder (other than breaches of the covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9
hereof which breaches are governed by clause (7) below); provided,
                                                         --------

- -------
neglect remains uncured for a period of 30 days after written notice describing
the same is given to the Executive; and provided, further, that isolated,
                                        --------  -------
insubstantial or non-material neglect or failure shall not constitute Cause
hereunder; (2) the willful refusal by Executive to comply with the lawful
instructions or directions of the party to whom Executive reports hereunder,
provided, however, that any such refusal shall constitute "Cause" hereunder only
          -------
if such instructions or directions are in respect of matters which may be
properly required of Executive hereunder and only if such refusal continues for
a period of more than 5 days after written notice describing same is given to
the Executive; (3) Executive's conviction (which, through lapse of time or
otherwise, is not subject to appeal) of any felony under the laws of any country
or political subdivision thereof, involving theft, embezzlement or moral
turpitude; (4) Executive's performance of any act which would constitute a crime
or offense involving money or property of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or would constitute a felony in the jurisdiction in which such act
occurred, regardless of whether or not the Executive is prosecuted; (5) any
attempt by Executive improperly to secure any personal profit in connection with
the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (6) chronic alcoholism
or drug addiction; or (7) any breach by Executive of the terms of Sections 4, 5
or 9 of this Agreement; provided such breach continues uncured for 10 days after
                        --------
written notice of such breach is given by the Company to Executive.

               (b)  Consultant may terminate this Agreement on written notice 
to the Company if any one or more of the following shall occur: 

                    (1)  a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by
the Company, which breach continues uncured for 30 days after written notice
thereof is first given;

                    (2)  a material breach by the Company of any other material
agreement with Consultant, which breach continues for 30 days after written
notice thereof is first given. 

               (c)  This Agreement shall terminate upon:

                    (1)  Executive's death during the Term; provided, however,
that Consultant shall be entitled to receive the Consulting Fee through the last
day of the month in which Executive's death occurs.

                    (2)  Executive becoming physically or mentally disabled so
that he is unable substantially to perform his services hereunder for (a) a
period of 60 consecutive days, or (b) for shorter periods aggregating 120 days
during any twelve month period during the Term. Notwithstanding such disability
the Company shall continue to pay Consultant the Consulting Fee through the date
of such termination.

                    (3)  As provided in Exhibit A.

                    (d)  Upon any termination of this Agreement for any
reason, with or without Cause, whether by the Company or by Consultant,
Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions held by him as an
officer and/or director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

                    (e)  All determinations of Cause by the Company pursuant to
this Section 7 and all determinations by the Company not to renew this Agreement

entire Board of Directors. If the Consultant disagrees with the Company's
determination that Cause exists, or if the Company disagrees with the
Consultant's determination that it may terminate this Agreement under Section
7(b), then such determination shall be subject to review and resolution in
accordance with Section 13 and the Company shall continue to pay Consultant all
amounts payable hereunder while such disagreement is being resolved, provided
that if the disagreement is resolved adversely to the Consultant, then
Consultant shall be required to repay to the Company such amount as is so
determined and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to make
such payments while the disagreement is being resolved unless the Consultant
delivers to the Company security for such repayment obligation, reasonably
satisfactory to the Board.

                           1995 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

Dear Mr. Chase:

                  I am pleased to advise you that on November 1, 1995 DTI
granted to you an option (the "Option" or "Options") to purchase up to 300,000
shares of DTI's Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of DTI's 1995
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Non-Qual Plan"). The Option entitles you
to purchase DTI's shares from DTI, at a price of $12.26 per share, being not
less than the fair market value of a share of DTI Common Stock on November 1,
1995. You may exercise your Option starting on May 1, 1996, provided however
that you may not purchase more than 20% of such shares prior to November 1,
1996, or more than 40% of such shares prior to November 1, 1997 (including all
prior purchases hereunder) or more than 60% of such shares prior to November 1,
1998 (including all prior purchases hereunder) or more than 80% of such shares
prior to November 1, 1999 (including all prior purchases hereunder). The Option
expires on November 1, 2000, unless sooner terminated as provided in the
Non-Qual Plan. Additional terms and conditions regarding this Option are fully
set forth in the copy of the Non-Qual Plan accompanying this letter. For your
convenience, we highlight the following provisions of the Non-Qual Plan.

                    (1)  To exercise your Option, you should give DTI written
notice of the number of shares of DTI Common Stock you wish to purchase (the
minimum number of shares at any one time is 50) and include payment for such
shares with your notice.

                    (2)  Your Option to buy shares is non-transferrable and
expires earlier than the expiration date set forth above if your employment with
DTI is terminated for any reason. In the event of retirement, you may exercise
your Option within three (3) months after the effective date of your retirement.
In the event of death, your Option is exercisable within three (3) months
thereafter, and in the event of your permanent disability, your Option is
exercisable within six (6) months thereafter. In the event of termination of
your employment for "cause" (as defined in the Non-Qual Plan) your Option shall
immediately terminate.

Mr. Howard E. Chase                                            November 1, 1995



                    (3)  You will be required to hold the shares which you
acquire under the Option unless and until the shares are registered pursuant to
federal securities law or the shares can be sold pursuant to an exemption from
the registration requirements of the federal securities laws. The shares which
may be purchased under the Option are not presently registered under the federal
securities laws.

                    (4)  At the time of your acquisition of any shares of DTI's
Common Stock pursuant to this Option, DTI may require that you represent to DTI
in writing that you are acquiring such shares for your own account for
investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the
distribution of all or a part thereof. The certificate for such shares may
include any legends which DTI deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer.

                    We look forward to your continuing relationship with DTI,
 and continuing success in the future.

                                     Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Collini:

                  I am pleased to advise you that on November 1, 1995 DTI

to purchase DTI's shares from DTI, at a price of $12.26 per share, being not
less than the fair market value of a share of DTI Common Stock on November 1,
1995. You may exercise your Option starting on May 1, 1996, provided however
that you may not purchase more than 20% of such shares prior to November 1,
1996, or more than 40% of such shares prior to November 1, 1997 (including all
prior purchases hereunder) or more than 60% of such shares prior to November 1,
1998 (including all prior purchases hereunder) or more than 80% of such shares
prior to November 1, 1999 (including all prior purchases hereunder). The Option
expires on November 1, 2000, unless sooner terminated as provided in the
Non-Qual Plan. Additional terms and conditions regarding this Option are fully
set forth in the copy of the Non-Qual Plan accompanying this letter. For your
convenience, we highlight the following provisions of the Non-Qual Plan.

                  (1) To exercise your Option, you should give DTI written
notice of the number of shares of DTI Common Stock you wish to purchase (the
minimum number of shares at any one time is 50) and include payment for such
shares with your notice.

                  (2) Your Option to buy shares is non-transferrable and expires
earlier than the expiration date set forth above if your employment with DTI is
terminated for any reason. In the event of retirement, you may exercise your
Option within three (3) months after the effective date of your retirement. In
the event of death, your Option is exercisable within three (3) months
thereafter, and in the event of your permanent disability, your Option is

your employment for "cause" (as defined in the Non-Qual Plan) your Option shall

to purchase DTI's shares from DTI, at a price of $12.26 per share, being not
less than the fair market value of a share of DTI Common Stock on November 1,
1995. You may exercise your Option starting on May 1, 1996, provided however
that you may not purchase more than 331/3% of such shares prior to November 1,
1996, or more than 662/3% of such shares prior to November 1, 1997 (including
all prior purchases hereunder). The Option expires on November 1, 2000, unless
sooner terminated as provided in the Non-Qual Plan. Additional terms and
conditions regarding this Option are fully set forth in the copy of the Non-Qual
Plan accompanying this letter. For your convenience, we highlight the following
provisions of the Non-Qual Plan.

                    (1)  To exercise your Option, you should give DTI written 
notice of the number of shares of DTI Common Stock you wish to purchase (the
minimum number of shares at any one time is 50) and include payment for such
shares with your notice.

                    (2)  Your Option to buy shares is non-transferrable and
expires earlier than the expiration date set forth above if your employment with
DTI is terminated for any reason. In the event of retirement, you may exercise
your Option within three (3) months after the effective date of your retirement.
In the event of death, your Option is exercisable within three (3) months
thereafter, and in the event of your permanent disability, your Option is
exercisable within six (6) months thereafter. In the event of termination of
your employment for "cause" (as defined in the Non-Qual Plan) your Option shall
immediately terminate.

                    (3)  You will be required to hold the shares which you
acquire under the Option unless and until the shares are registered pursuant to
federal securities law or the shares

can be sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
federal securities laws. The shares which may be purchased under the Option are
not presently registered under the federal securities laws.

                    (4)  At the time of your acquisition of any shares of DTI's
Common Stock pursuant to this Option, DTI may require that you represent to DTI
in writing that you are acquiring such shares for your own account for
investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the
distribution of all or a part thereof. The certificate for such shares may
include any legends which DTI deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer.
                    We look forward to your continuing relationship with DTI, 
and continuing success in the future.

                                       Very truly yours,
