INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Borg-Warner Automotive Automatic Transmission Systems Corporation, Romulus
Plant Retirement Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits of the Borg-Warner Automotive Automatic Transmission Systems
Corporation, Romulus Plant Retirement Savings Plan, as of December 31, 1995,
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the period from April 27 to December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Plan's financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Plan as of December 31, 1995, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the period from April 27 to December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held for
investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
1995 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BORG-WARNER AUTOMOTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
CORPORATION, ROMULUS PLANT RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE PERIOD FROM APRIL 27 TO DECEMBER 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. (the "Company") established the Borg-Warner
      Automotive, Inc. Retirement Savings Master Trust (the "Master Trust")
      with Putnam Fiduciary Trust, Boston, Massachusetts on April 1, 1994,
      pursuant to the Benefits Agreement entered into in accordance with the
      January 27, 1993 distribution of the Company's stock to the stockholders
      of its then parent company, Borg-Warner Security Corporation.

      The Borg-Warner Automotive Automatic Transmission Systems Corporation,
      Romulus Plant Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") was established on
      April 27, 1995 as a participant in the Master Trust.  The Plan is
      sponsored by Borg-Warner Automotive Automatic Transmissions Systems
      Corporation Romulus Plant (the "Sponsor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
      the Company.

      The Plan was established as a defined contribution plan under section
      401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, designed to provide eligible
      employees of the Borg-Warner Automotive Automatic Transmission Systems
      Corporation, Romulus Plant (the "Romulus Plant") with systematic savings
      and tax-advantaged long-term savings for retirement.  The Company has
      assigned the Retirement Savings Plan Committee (the "Committee") to
      oversee the Plan.  The Committee has appointed Putnam Investor Services,
      Inc. and Putnam Fiduciary Trust to perform the administrative,
      investment, and trustee services for the Plan and Master Trust.

      A complete description of the Plan procedures and provisions is contained
      in the Plan document.  Significant Plan features include:

      ELIGIBILITY - Hourly employees may participate in the Plan if they had
      been employed by the Company for 90 days as of April 27, 1995.  Employees
      hired after April 27, 1995 may participate in the Plan upon six
      consecutive months of employment by the Company.

      PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT - A Retirement Savings Plan account is established
      for each participant in the Plan.  The participants' account for
      employees eligible to participate when the Plan was established consists
      of the following:

           Employee Retirement Account - Participants may voluntarily
           contribute from one to eight percent of their compensation to this
           account.  The Company makes contributions equal to 50 percent of
           participants' contributions to this account.

           Savings Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute one to
           seven percent of their compensation to this account.  No Company
           contributions are made to this account.







                                     -4-

<PAGE>   8
Employees hired after April 27, 1995 have the following accounts:

      Company Retirement Account - The Company makes contributions to this
      account on behalf of each eligible participant, based on the
      participant's compensation and years of vested service.
      
      Employee Retirement Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute
      from one to three percent of their compensation to this account.  The
      Company makes contributions equal to 100 percent of participants'
      contributions to this account.

      Savings Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute one to ten
      percent of their compensation to this account.  No Company contributions
      are made to this account.

      
      Retiree Health Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute from one
      to three percent of their compensation to this account.  The Company
      makes contributions equal to 100 percent of participant contributions to
      this account, up to $400 per year.

   Effective January 1, 1996, all participants will be eligible for the
   Employee Retirement Account, Savings Account, the Company Retirement Account
   and Retiree Health Account, consistent with the terms for those employees
   hired after April 27, 1995, as shown above.

   MASTER TRUST - Participants may elect to invest their Employee
   Retirement Account, Savings Account, Company Retirement Account and
   Retiree Health Account in one or more of the funds of the Master Trust
   maintained by Putnam Fiduciary Trust, other than the Pending account and
   Loan fund which are not fund elections available to participants. The funds
   of the Master Trust are as follows:

      Investment Contracts Fund - Invests in investment contracts with either
      highly rated insurance companies or major banks and also in short-term
      investments which provide liquidity.

      Putnam Voyager Fund - Invests a significant portion of its assets in
      securities of smaller and newer issuers.  The fund may borrow money to
      purchase additional portfolio securities.  The fund also trades
      securities for short-term profits.

      Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund - Invests primarily in publicly traded
      common stocks either directly or through collective investment trusts
      having a similar investment objective.  A small portion of the fund's
      assets are invested in high-quality money market instruments and
      financial futures contracts.

      Putnam U.S. Government Bond Fund - Invests exclusively in securities
      backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, 
      repurchase agreements, and forward committments with respect to such 
      securities.   Effective December 29, 1995, the Master Trust discontinued
      this fund as an investment option and participants' investments in this 
      fund were transfered to other participant-elected investment options.  
      No balance existed in this fund at December 31, 1995.

      The George Putnam Fund of Boston - Invests in a well-diversified
      portfolio of stocks and bonds.

      Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. Stock Fund - Invests in the common stock of
      Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.

      Putnam Income Fund - Invests primarily in quality corporate and government
      bonds that pay a rate of interest in regularly scheduled payments.  The
      fund became an eligible investment option in the Master Trust effective
      October 1, 1995.


                                     -5-

<PAGE>   9




Loan Fund - Invests in plan participant loans. Participant borrowings   
increase the Fund balance and principal repayments decrease the fund balance
with proceeds reinvested in participant-directed fund investment elections. 
The Loan Fund does not share in the dividends, earnings, and gains of the
Master Trust.

Pending Account - Represents (1) forfeitures of nonvested account    
balances until applied against future Company contributions, and (2) proceeds
from the sale of assets prior to distribution to the newly elected investment
fund.

Participant interests in each of the funds are accounted for in units of value.
The following is a summary by fund of the number of units and net asset value
per unit:

WITHDRAWALS - While participants are actively employed, no withdrawals may be
made from the Company Retirement Account.  Withdrawals may be made from the
Savings Account and the Employee Retirement Account for participants who were
employees when the Plan was established at the participants' option subject to

participants' option subject to certain limitations.  Upon termination of
employment, participants may elect an immediate or future distribution of the
participants' vested account balances as permitted by the Plan subject to ERISA
regulations.






                                     -6-
<PAGE>   10


   LOANS -  Participants may borrow up to 50 percent of their Savings
   Account balance with a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $50,000 limited to a
   single loan outstanding at any time.  Loan terms range from six months to
   five years, with interest charged at the rate established by the trustee for
   similar loans on the origination date.  No loans are permitted from the
   Employee Retirement Account, Company Retirement Account, and Retiree Health
   Account.

   PRIORITIES UPON TERMINATION - Although the Company has not expressed any
   intent to discontinue the Plan, it may do so at any time.  In the event of
   termination, the interests of the affected participants shall become fully
   vested.  The Plan assets then remaining shall be used to pay administrative
   expenses and benefits equal to the balance in the participants' accounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   INVESTMENTS - The Investment Contracts Fund of the Master Trust is
   stated at cost plus interest earned to date (i.e., contract value) as
   reported by the Trustee.  The contract value of the Investment Contracts
   Fund approximates the fair value. The average yield for the Investment
   Contracts Fund was 6.9% for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The
   Investment Contracts Fund is fully benefit-responsive. Investments in 
   all other funds are stated at market value as reported by the Trustee.

   ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
   available for benefits as of the date of the financial statements, and the
   reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the
   reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES - Transfer taxes and brokerage expenses attributable
   to the Master Trust assets are charged to the applicable fund.  Any other
   expenses incurred in respect of Master Trust income or property are charged
   to the accounts of the participants, where applicable, or are paid in such
   manner as the Company determines.

   BENEFITS PAYABLE -  In accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting
   Guide, Audits of Employee Benefit Plans, the Plan does not record benefits
   payable to participants who have withdrawn from the plan.  As of December
   31, 1995, no benefits were due to participants withdrawn from the Plan.

3. TAX STATUS

   The Plan is in the process of obtaining a determination letter from the
   Internal Revenue Service to determine the Plan's compliance with applicable
   requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan's management believes
   it is designed and operates in accordance with the applicable rules and
   regulations of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no provision for income
   taxes has been made in the Plan's financial statements.
